Chapter 216: Chapter 129: Beauty
The only thing that slightly reassured Chu Xuan was that the situation on Gu Haitang’s side seemed fine; Zichen still had two Nascent Soul cultivators of the fourth realm holding the line, so they wouldn’t be taken down by those evil cultivators once they lost the protection of the true personages.
In contrast, on the side of the two true personages, it was only a matter of time before Pei Shurou would lose. However, this battle was difficult for Chu Xuan to intervene in directly. He could still manage a fight crossing one major realm, but crossing three major realms to throw himself in was asking for death, wasn’t it?
The cultivation technique of the blood-robed elder was clearly not the style of Mo Luo Palace; in fact, it seemed somewhat like the cultivation technique of the Blood Spirit Scripture from the Evil Sect, Blood Robes Sect, which was destroyed six hundred years ago.
Most likely, after the destruction of the Blood Robes Sect, this fundamental art leaked out and was accidentally acquired by someone from Mo Luo Palace.
If Chu Xuan were still in his peak state from the past, wearing the Blood God Set, this person would naturally be thoroughly suppressed by him, literally at his mercy.
But the problem was, Chu Xuan had long been "restored to factory settings," with the Blood God Set absent, and all his cultivation techniques newly practiced from scratch. He had completely forgotten about the Blood Spirit Scripture, so there was no question of overcoming it.
Just as Chu Xuan was pondering a countermeasure, a change occurred on the battlefield.
Suddenly, a massive "Blood Demon Saber" condensed in the blood-robed elder’s hand, whose power entirely depended on how many people the practitioner had killed.
If only one person had been killed, it wouldn’t be much stronger than a mortal weapon; but after massacring thousands or tens of thousands, its power becomes extremely formidable, even feeding back to its owner.
This elder naturally had a blood debt, so the saber’s power was exceptionally strong. With a horizontal slash, even though countless colorful rainbows were shooting out from behind Pei Shurou to intercept it continuously, they were still cut in half by the Demon Saber.
Pei Shurou’s face turned pale; she bit down on the tip of her tongue, spraying blood onto her flying sword to further unleash the artifact’s potential, making her complexion even paler.
At the same time, she activated a secret technique from the Supreme Jade Emperor Heart Seal Scripture, summoning the "Power of the Heavenly Emperor" to bless herself, slashing out a radiant golden sword.
"Bang~!" The blood saber and golden sword clashed, producing a massive sound. The blood-robed elder stood firmly, but Pei Shurou spewed blood, flying backward, even losing control of her flying sword as it broke into several pieces.
Li Yucheng was naturally anxious, but the black-robed man waved a large black flag in his hand so densely that endless Celestial Demon Qi surged out, firmly entangling the purple-robed true personage, preventing him from rushing over to help.
Pei Shurou, still in mid-air, tried to stabilize her body, but the blood-robed elder used a drop of blood to escape over, slamming down a "Blood God Palm"!
In that critical moment, a mysterious force remotely grasped Pei Shurou’s body, and though it diverted the palm from her chest, it still struck her shoulder, slamming her harshly toward the ground.
Pei Shurou’s injury was severe, and she fell unconscious, about to be driven into the earth.
But at that moment, a young man suddenly emerged from the ground, spreading his arms to catch Yun Ni Fairy, dispersing the force on her body.
The blood-robed elder furrowed his brows, activating both hands to flick his ten fingers rapidly, sending out beams of blood light like sword beams.
This man was none other than Chu Xuan. Sadly, he and Pei Shurou hadn’t coordinated beforehand; otherwise, he could have simultaneously "captured the sun and moon, shrunk thousands of mountains," shrinking her into his palm, preventing that earlier strike.
As soon as he caught her, Chu Xuan immediately used Sword Control to fly away. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use earth escaping, but with someone in tow, the speed was too slow.
The blood rays shot over, yet before they could hit Chu Xuan’s body, the protective treasure [Azure Lotus Vessel] he wore reacted, transforming into a cyan flying vessel, enveloping them both and speeding away into the distance.
The blood-robed elder was caught off guard, not expecting a third-realm cultivator to explode with such speed, and hurriedly gave chase.
During this pursuit, he continuously emitted "Ten Fingers Blood Light," but each time the blood light was about to hit, the cyan flying vessel would suddenly flicker forward a bit, just enough to avoid the attack.
In anger, the blood-robed elder transformed once more into a blood sea, inundating them with vast waters!
This tactic proved effective; the cyan flying vessel flickered a few times before being dragged into the blood water, significantly slowing down.
The elder immediately concentrated his forces, narrowing the blood sea’s range, intending to properly take down this brat.
But the next instant, a sharp scream erupted from the blood sea, accompanied by a large amount of white smoke, as if a substantial portion had evaporated into thin air.
In the middle of the cyan flying vessel, a giant golden hand emerged, holding in its palm a Buddhist finger bone relic, radiating boundless golden Buddhist light. The light contained chanting and hymn sounds, imparting a sacred, solemn feeling, dispelling evil and purifying filth.
Using the relic’s aid, the cyan flying vessel burst out of the blood sea, once more accelerating to its highest speed.
Chu Xuan quickly retracted the Buddhist bone relic; his purpose was merely to use the Buddhist manifestation to unleash its power, as he hadn’t truly refined the relic.
In the presence of an enemy with a realm much higher than his own, displaying it recklessly would easily result in it being snatched away; it could only be utilized unexpectedly.
"Damned brat! I’ll kill you!" The blood-robed elder raged, having returned to human form, with his face noticeably paler.
Never would he have imagined that this brat would suddenly pull out such a powerful relic. During his long battle with Yun Ni Fairy, he never sustained injuries as severe as just now.
