Chapter 543: Life Blood Essence

Knowing that this was Zong Shou mocking her, Xuanyuan Yiren was simply too lazy to bother about the fellow.

After scoffing, her eyes glanced around the mountain peak.

Moments later, her brows shuddered as she stared at two people. One of them was Xundan and the other was Edan. They were currently hiding in a corner, their faces were ashen-white and devoid of blood.

Zong Shou stopped playing around with her as he followed her line of sight.

At the start, he didn’t really bother much about it, this was because they were just two Grade-9 Spirit Masters. If there was anything different about them, it was that both of them were wearing the robes of the Pill Fountain Sect.

Since they were people who captured Xuanyuan Yiren, then naturally, they shouldn’t be let off.

Anyways, on this mountain, everyone who lived had to be wiped out, this was why he didn’t need to purposely care about it.

Just as his gaze was about to move away from these two people, he suddenly felt shocked in his heart.

Eh? Something isn’t right…

After exclaiming for a bit, Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to instantly move. This was done while using his sword strength to pressure them such that they couldn’t move at all. Following which, his sword light swept like cutting butter as he smashed the protector beast as well as the spell barrier that the two of them had placed up.

Although these two people were Grade-9, but their combat strength was surprisingly weak. Although they were at the later stages of the True Image Spirit Master, but they were rather similar to people of the Initial Stages.

Zong Shou quite easily captured both of them.

While looking at them both, Zong Shou started to think. However, before he was able to get a sense of what didn’t feel right.

Suddenly, two Yin Balls rose out from the back of their heads. Zong Shou’s eyes shone sharply, not allowing them to dodge as he grabbed out. He tore open space and entered the void, forcefully capturing these two people who seemed to flee from using the space barrier!

“So this was the case! They should be from the Shadow God Race of the outer regions…”

Xuanyuan Yiren flew up beside Zong Shou, she was startled when she heard this, her face was filled with confusion.

“Shadow God Race? What does that mean?”

“Like what the name suggests, they’re naturally a race affiliated with shadows, they view themselves as gods and think that they should be above other races, this was why they named themselves ‘Shadow God’. However, other people see them as devils and would call them the ‘Afterimage Demon Race.”

Zong Shou explained solemnly. It wasn’t surprising that Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t recognize them. This type of race didn’t appear in the Cloud World even during the Cloud Desolate Era. Plus, Yiren was still young and hadn’t been to the outer regions, this was another natural reason that she didn’t know.

Zong Shou, on the other hand, had seen it a few times in the virtual environment, this was, however, the first time he’d seen them in person.

Their actual combat strength wasn’t all that strong, what made it tough to defend against them was their natural skill.

“In the various worlds, their fame is really great. They are both formless and shapeless, only under the white light or moonlight would they have a shadow. They don’t have a body and will snatch other people’s bodies in order to store themselves in. What’s actually terrifying about them is during night time.”

“Snatch bodies?”

Xuanyuan Yiren thought back to something, her expression was changing, “So… it seems like Senior Master Xundan and Edan…”

“Yes, they died a long time ago!”

Zong Shou continued, coldly confirming the truth at what had happened to the both of them.

Xuanyuan Yiren’s face was both of a mixture of sadness and joy, she didn’t know whether she should cry or laugh.

She knew that the chaos within the sect didn’t happen due to internal reasons, it was something that she should be happy about.

However, the moment she thought about how Edan and Xundan died a long time ago. This meant that within the sect, who knows how many more people were actually such demons? She couldn’t let out a smile.

At this moment, Zong Shou’s expression turned even more serious. He didn’t think that the Afterimage Demon Race would actually hide and seclude themselves within the Cloud World before the Spiritual Wave even began.

He who came from ten thousand years in the future was extremely clear about how dangerous this race was. In the future, this was one of the largest alien races!

※※※※

“Afterimage God Demon?”

In the void, Aokun also exclaimed, Although he used his own strength to suppress several God Realms, over ten Celestial Realm Cultivators. This was actually more than enough. He felt really casual and could spend some effort to focus on below.

If it was really that specific race, then the Cloud World was really in trouble this time.

However, the life and death of this world had nothing much to do with him. The only connection he had to it was with Zong Shou and that person…

He was contemplating in his heart, after doing so, Aokun waved his hand. His sleeves patted on a knife, an unblockable giant strength caused it to break into pieces.

Following after, a ‘Hong’ sound echoed out, a physical body was smashed into pieces.

The destruction laws his body possessed could completely seal the rebirth ability of this God Realm Cultivator.

At this moment, Aokun had already lost his interest in dealing with these people.

His fingers joined together as he pointed at all of them, instantly, numerous Celestial Realm Cultivators quickly died.

Following which, he punched out, heading straight for Shenxiao.

The latter’s face was devoid of blood. On one side, he tried his best to block, on the other, he ignited all the Magical Treasures and Celestial Artifacts on his body just to try and block the fist from Aokun.

In the void, there were a series of explosions. Shenxiao’s body was being forced back, in the end, he was still unable to block the strike.

What looked like a really ordinary fist caused the space’s layer to nearly collapse. All the talismans, artifacts, and treasures were all smacked aside!

Not long after, the fist’s wind smashed onto Shenxiao’s body! Blood instantly dripped and scattered, a large portion was instantly destroyed. There were also several drops that scattered all over.

“You want to escape?”

Laughing coldly, Aokun’s hand suddenly swelled up. It turned into a Ten Thousand Feet Large Dragon Claw and scratched out. Within the center of the palm, a suction force was formed as he grabbed all the dozens of Essence Blood.

Apart from the one drop which was still fleeing in the air. All of a sudden, it passed through numerous layers of space.

He knew that this was the Life Blood Essence of Shenxiao. As long as this drop wasn’t destroyed, there would be a chance of him reviving. Within a hundred or just a few dozen years, he would be able to fully recover. This calculation wasn’t in account that with enough energy and top-grade Celestial Pills, he might even recover in a day.

Aokun shook his head as he looked on. To escape in front of the Destruction Saint, is this a joke? If he really let that annoying bug escape, then he wouldn’t be fitting to be called a Saint.

He wanted to grab out once more, however, his ears suddenly shuddered, only to hear a female voice ring out.

After hearing a single sentence, he helplessly retracted his hand and looked on as the Essence Blood left, continuing to travel towards the Cloud World.

He thought to himself: ‘Zong Shou… Zong Shou… It isn’t that I don’t want to help you. But that person doesn’t want me to help, I really don’t know why.’

“Already heavily injured and close to death. Even if he descends in the Cloud World he will only have the Late Spirit Realm’s strength, With Zong Shou’s ability, he should be able to deal with it right?”

He wasn’t all that sure, however, the plan for today was to look on from the outside apologetically and observe carefully. This was such that if danger were to befall, he could save him.

While thinking this, he gripped the remaining Essence Blood of Shenxiao’s in his hands…

Laughing coldly, Aokun clenched his fists and destroyed it all!

Suddenly, his heart moved, he could feel the moment that the last drop of Shenxiao’s Essence Blood broke the outer barrier of the Cloud World.

Within the void of the Cloud World, there were several auras not lower than him, there were even some above him that started to rush over.

Aokun’s brows rose up as he knew that they were most probably the Four World Protectors. He instantly thought back to that woman and what she wanted to do.

He smiled, following after this, he laughed out loud. Aokun loved such things and was happy to see it happening.

※※※※

Zong Shou had no idea at all that at this moment, danger was quickly arriving.

Xuanyuan Yiren was in deep thought for a moment, she temporarily placed down the changes in her sect, following which, she looked seriously forward.

Since the Blood Cloud Cavalry went into the mountain, it was another slaughter. The low-grade disciples were disregarded, allowing the blood mist to claim their lives.

Their real targets were the grade-6 and grade-7 experts. In just that instant, while the two of them were speaking, a large half of the grade-6 cultivators had already fallen. Those who were grade-5 and below had all totally died to the blood mist.

Hundreds of people were able to escape from the peak. However, before they were even able to flee, they died to the Seven Spirit Sect and Kongqi Sect disciples.

Only Yuankong and the remaining seven grade-9 cultivators and hundreds of surviving cultivators were still struggling. Even with all these people, they were just 15 minutes or so away from destruction.

She wouldn’t really care about how many Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect disciples died here. Since the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, Lingyun Sect, and etc. had plotted heavily to kill Zong Shou, they used such despicable methods, they should pay the price. None of them were innocent.

What made her frown were the Blood Kill Twin Flags that were dancing in the rain.

Numerous blood energy was gathered on it, this caused the ‘blood’ and ‘kill’ words to become more and more eye-catching.

She knew that these two weren’t just flags but were also extremely strong Spiritual Artifacts. At this moment, they were still being nourished, however the moment they were complete, it could cause the strength of the Blood Cloud Cavalry to double. The more vital energy it absorbed, the stronger it would get.

“The scattered soldiers can be let off. Since they already felt the despair of what happened, they won’t dare to be enemies anymore with Gantian Mountain. As long as you are willing they can be yours.”

Zong Shou was delighted as he knew that Xuanyuan Yiren was trying to persuade him, but he had no intentions to. “I said that when the flags are raised, the blades aren’t to be kept within a day!”

His tone was filled with firmness and couldn’t be doubted. In his heart was actually planning to let go of these people.

Since he wasn’t a mad man who loved to kill. The remaining two million of the survivors actually weren’t a threat to Gantian Mountain anymore, there were no benefits to killing them. With the death of the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect and the destruction of many others, it was already enough to shock the Cloud World. At this moment, they just needed to kill the leaders and needn’t to take it out on these people.

However, he couldn’t just simply say such words. Just moments later, he would destroy those who he can see and allow the rest to leave. As for whether or not he could use them as his own, this was to be decided in the future.

Although he thought about it in his heart, he couldn’t agree right away after the righteous and kind girl persuaded him.

He had his own principles when he did things. he definitely wouldn’t allow others to tell him what to do.
