63: Blood Sacrifice Array

With Jiang Miao's Confusing Evil Qi, the harvest of the two rose sharply.

It was just that within a few short days, there were twenty more unjustly dead souls among the Corpse Fiend Sect Cultivators.

Just as the two were once again lying in wait around several Cultivators besieging a Yao Beast, that Yao Beast suddenly trembled in fear, its gaze looking into the distance.

The several Cultivators exchanged glances, abandoned their pursuit of the Yao Beast, and scattered in flight.

Fang Huai looked in the direction of the Yao Beast's gaze, only to see a fierce crimson-purple light surging in the distance, and a dull roar resounded through the sky.

With such momentum, could it be a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast?

Jiang Miao grew interested: "Junior Brother Fang, there are Cultivators attacking a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast in the distance. Let's go take a look together."

Fang Huai advised: "It's better not to get involved in such a scene; be careful not to be injured by the aftershocks of the battle."

"image recording talisman!"

...The two lurked a hundred zhang away, observing the situation on the battlefield.

[Space-Rending Mantis]

[Foundation Establishment Middle Stage]

[Golden Armor Possession (Black)] [Rending Space (Black)]

[Golden Armor Possession: Covered in crimson-gold armor, with astonishing defense.]

[Rending Space: The lowest-level space-rending Spell; it has no power but can throw living beings into an alternate dimension.]

Fang Huai's expression was strange; he was all too familiar with the people fighting this Space-Rending Mantis.

The one confronting it head-on was the Blood Sea Peak Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator Ling Bei, but for some reason, her cultivation was suppressed at the Peak of Qi Refining.

Her body was connected to a Formation called the Blood Sacrifice Array, and a continuous stream of vital energy and spiritual power flowed into her body along the Formation.

There were six people in the Formation, all of whom Fang Huai had seen before.

At the center of the Formation eye was Pei Long, at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining; at the five Formation nodes were five members of the Pei Family, all at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

With the help of the Blood Sacrifice Array, Ling Bei gradually broke through her cultivation limits and returned to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, continuously casting Spells on the Space-Rending Mantis.

Cyan-red sword light, Poison Fiend Curses, and various Talismanic Incantations were thrown recklessly at the mantis.

This mantis was known for its physical hardiness and knew very few spells; as long as Ling Bei kept wearing it down, she would surely be able to grind the opponent to death.

"Martial Uncle Ling, we can't hold on anymore!"

Pei Long's face was distorted, and the bones and internal organs in his body had completely deformed; although he had taken Medicinal Pills like the Blood-Burning Pill and spirit burning pill to overdraw his cultivation, the feeling of his body being drained still terrified him.

He at the Formation eye was already like this, let alone the Pei family Disciples at the Formation nodes.

One by one, their bodies were withered and their minds were blurred, just like mummified corpses.

Ling Bei snorted coldly: "Whether you can hold on or not is for me to decide. If you dare to be slack, none of you will live!"

...Fang Huai quietly retreated; he only had over a hundred System points on him, and participating in such a scene was too dangerous.

Before he had retreated a few steps, his wrist was grabbed by Jiang Miao: "Fang Huai, do you know who that female Cultivator is?"

Fang Huai naturally knew, but he still shook his head and said: "I don't want to know."

Jiang Miao said excitedly: "It's Ling Bei of Blood Sea Peak, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator. I didn't expect her to Seal her own cultivation and sneak in pretending to be a Qi Refining Cultivator."

Fang Huai said: "In that case, we should stay further away."

"Stay further away? How can we kill her if we stay further away?"

Jiang Miao's gaze stared fixedly at the battlefield: "Did you hear that? They can't hold on anymore; it's our turn to go in!

To kill a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator with Qi Refining cultivation—don't you want such an honor? With just this one battle, we can become famous in the State of Chen!"

Fang Huai was instantly alarmed; a few days ago he thought this crazy woman had a brain, but why was she acting foolishly again today?

It was fine if she wanted to seek death, but she shouldn't drag him along.

"Fairy Jiang, it's the six people in the Blood Sacrifice Array who can't hold on, not Ling Bei. Besides, that Space-Rending Mantis is still alive; how are you going to kill both of them?"

"I can't take it anymore, I can't wait any longer!"

Jiang Miao chanted an incantation, and the familiar aura of Confusing Evil Qi radiated from her body, surging toward the battlefield.

However, just as she activated the Spell, Ling Bei had already sensed Jiang Miao and glanced toward her.

Not good, we've been discovered!

Fang Huai immediately distanced himself from Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao, however, excitedly leaped out from the hiding spot, unleashing various Spiritual Qi Talismanic Incantations and attacking Ling Bei.

"Blood Collapse Art!"

Ling Bei revealed a fierce expression.

Accompanied by the sound of the incantation, Jiang Miao's entire body burst; in just a dozen breaths, dozens of bloody holes appeared on her body.

"No good, I've hit a tough nut; this woman is too powerful, I'm retreating first.

This is a Path-Finding Talisman; you can use it to find me after you escape!"

Jiang Miao cried out in pain and stepped onto her kite to flee the battlefield, completely ignoring Fang Huai, who was hiding nearby.

Fang Huai cursed inwardly; if she was going to flee, then flee, why talk nonsense and expose him as well!

As expected.

Ling Bei's gaze swept over and discovered Fang Huai's location; with a thought, a surge of Spiritual Pressure controlled the Spiritual Qi around Fang Huai.

[Spirit Binding Curse (Red)]

Fang Huai was familiar with this Spell; Li Sirou also had it on her... Just as he was wondering whether to risk his last hundred System points to transfer the Spirit Binding Curse to Pei Long in the Blood Sacrifice Array, the situation on the battlefield changed.

"Epiphytic Fiend!"

Ling Bei activated the Blood Sea Peak Legacy fiend art.

She widened her eyes as her spiritual power surged, and flesh and blood erupted from her body, burrowing into the already riddled body of the Space-Rending Mantis.

This flesh and blood seemed alive, devouring the Yao Beast from the inside.

The Space-Rending Mantis sensed a mortal crisis; its sharp claws slashed across its body, digging out Ling Bei's flesh and throwing it into a space rift.

And Fang Huai was surprised to find that as Ling Bei activated the fiend art, the binding power of the Spirit Binding Curse weakened, and the tag color changed from red to white.

Great opportunity!

Fang Huai immediately exchanged the tag to Pei Long at the Formation eye.

Just after the exchange, Ling Bei discovered that the Blood Sacrifice Array had lost its effect.

"Pei Long, do you want to die? Continue!"

Pei Long was also baffled; after checking his body, he cried out in shock: "Martial Uncle Ling, I've been hit by the Spirit Binding Curse!"

Ling Bei cursed loudly; it must have been that the Cultivator she just cast the Spirit Binding Curse on had used some kind of substitute item.

Seeing that she couldn't rely on Pei Long, she simply cut off half of her body, mixed it with Talismanic Incantations and Spiritual Artifacts, and threw it into the mangled body of the Space-Rending Mantis.

"Bang!"

After several loud explosions, the Space-Rending Mantis collapsed to the ground.

A human bomb made from the body of a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator—how terrifying!

Ling Bei, having lost half her body, fell to the ground and hurriedly took a Medicinal Pill to suppress the loss of vital energy.

But after resting for a while, she discovered in horror that the remaining part of her body actually felt as if the bones, flesh, and internal organs were separating.

What's going on? What kind of curse is this?

Fang Huai's eyes were bright as he frantically swallowed spirit recovery pills.

Ever since he transferred the Spirit Binding Curse to Pei Long, he had inflicted the Four Elephant Shattering Body Evil Qi on Ling Bei.

He didn't know if Ling Bei had recognized his identity, but to be safe, he had to grind her to death.

"Pei Long, I've already unraveled the Spirit Binding Curse for you. Quickly use the Blood Sacrifice Array to send me vital energy!"

Ling Bei said anxiously; she was too fragile now to withstand the erosion of the Four Elephant Shattering Body Evil Qi.

"Martial Uncle Ling, let me help you up first!"

Pei Long hurriedly ran toward Ling Bei.

But the moment he touched Ling Bei, a black talisman was slapped onto her body, and at the same time, several black needles were plunged into her body.

"Spirit-Binding Talisman? Spirit-Suppressing Needle! Pei Long, what are you doing?"

Pei Long laughed: "What am I doing? Since Martial Uncle Ling set up the Blood Sacrifice Array herself, she should naturally enjoy it herself!"

Ling Bei said angrily: "You dare!"

"I don't dare? Why wouldn't I dare?" Pei Long said crazily, "If your cultivation hadn't been sealed, I naturally wouldn't dare; if your body were intact, I wouldn't dare either! But now? Do you have the ability to break the Spirit-Suppressing Needles?"

With that, he threw Ling Bei into the Formation eye.

"Martial Uncle Ling, obediently hand over your cultivation."
