160 Ara Ara
Jia Wenhe watched his cauldron burning the shrunk cultivator to crisp. However, his furrows deepened as he couldn't smell the burning flesh of Fu De.
The alchemist doused the fire and opened the lid. He found no one inside.
Jia Wenhe snorted and expanded his sense, searching for the runaway demon worshiper.
Instant movements, decoys, fake bodies, and body-switching were common skills among late 6th-stage experts.
Previously when Fu De attacked Jia Wenhe with Sacrificial Detonation, the latter already created a fake body with fire element Qi. Then, he escaped from the field of Fu De's vision. When the fake body was destroyed, it only left behind a dummy corpse while the real body already sneaked behind Fu De.
And now, Jia Wenhe sensed that he was fooled as well. He guessed that Fu De might have sensed the cauldron attack and left behind a fake body. When Jia Wenhe hit him with a cauldron smash, Fu De should have tricked his sense and flew somewhere else.
After expanding his sense for two breaths, Jia Wenhe found Fu De's real body.
Currently, Fu De's body was transparent. Had one only relied on his/her naked eyes, they would never have noticed the pale middle-aged man. It required element Qi and an advanced search technique to locate this man.
Fu De had flown 300 meters away from Jia Wenhe. Although it was embarrassing to run away from his opponent, Fu De had another goal.
The target of Fu De was Jia Shan and the carriage behind him!
"Bastard!"
Jia Wenhe activated another skill from his cauldron. The pot released 20 flame tentacles, which flew toward the transparent body of Fu De at the speed of sound. They latched onto the latter while emitting green gas.
"Oh? How fancy!" Fu De's transparency spell was undone, but he was calm.
"If you look down on me because I'm an alchemist, you'll regret it! DIE!!"
Fire element wasn't the only elemental Qi that Jia Wenhe had mastered. He also comprehended an advanced Qi and elemental combination, which he had learned from the holy hand.
Jia Wenhe activated his trump card.
Sun Crow Wrath, Flame of Destruction!
The fire on the tentacles released more purple poisonous gas, which would burn and corrode everything instantly upon contact. It was similar to Yin Flame of Cao Mao's Dual-Flame ability, but it was more potent as it consumed the victim's element Qi as fuel.
Sensing his blood element Qi burning, Fu De's face turned solemn. He scoffed and bellowed, "PLANET EATER, FOUR ELEMENTAL FEAST!!"
Blood gushed out from Fu De's orifices and pores like fountains. Yet, the caster was still alive.
The red blood doused the purple gas fire and melted the flame tentacles. Moreover, the melted fire transformed into more blood, feeding Fu De's energy and vitality.
"TSK!!"
The stronger power annoyed Fu De. He devoured the blood mass that he obtained from his prior victim to replenish his energy and replace the corrupted blood in of his body. It took him a split second to eject all poison element Qi from his blood.
A split second was a fatal opening in high-ranked battles. Jia Wenhe closed in after the goatee man. The heaven-grade cauldron above the alchemy master began rotating, creating a mini fire tornado around itself.
Seeing the skill of Jia Wenhe, Fu De grumbled. He brought out a talisman and tore it.
The stealth talisman activated. His body became transparent again. Before he faded into nothingness, he cackled, "KAHAHAHA!! Jia Shan, Xu Miao, Wei Huang are looking for you! I'm sure he'll be delighted to find out about your present location! HAHAHAHA!!"
The terrifying cultivator disappeared. Jia Wenhe expanded his sense to search for Fu De once more, but he found nothing. Jia Shan also wanted to activate his sword domain. But since they weren't in a dangerous situation, he refrained from using his power.
Suddenly, another blood element cultivator kicked the ground and flew toward Cao Mao.
Ju Chen's right eye glowed in red light while her left eye was pitch black. She formed a hand incantation and raised both palms in front of her. Then, red blood gushed out of her fingernails and her pores.
Blood Formation, Vampire Feast!
A bloody magic circle appeared and released a shockwave, which hit someone in the sky.
Fu De reappeared 50 meters above Cao Mao, who was still busy taking in lightning Qi. The demon worshiper had feinted the retreat, but in reality, he was trying to abduct Cao Mao.
"HOW DARE YOU!!"
Fu De clicked his tongue. He wanted to use the Sacrificial Detonation again to counterattack against Ju Chen. However, the previous Sun Crow Wrath from Jia Wenhe disrupted his blood Qi circulation speed and momentum.
Without a choice, Fu De sent a weaker attack, a blood palm strike at Ju Chen. A five-meter tall hand appeared and rushed toward Ju Chen as if it wanted to squash her like a mosquito.
It was a mistake on Fu De's part since he had other skills that could instantly destroy Ju Chen. Nobody was aware that Fu De's action was influenced by the heavenly fate power within Cao Mao's body since he got too close to him.
.
.
Cao Mao's left eyebrow twitched non-stop. This experience was new to him since it never reacted to anything before. Only the right eyebrow always sent an emergency signal when something ominous might happen to him.
Snap
Suddenly, one of the blood vessels in Cao Mao's left forehead snapped. He could feel the hot blood spreading under his skin, but they backtracked into the torn blood vessel within a few seconds.
Ding
\u003cYou have overused your fate power.\u003e
\u003cYour heavenly fate power will be temporarily dormant.\u003e
After receiving the message, the twitching stopped.
"…"
Cao Mao was dying to figure what had happened, but he was too busy refining his body with the lightning element Qi. He gritted his teeth as he ignored the commotion above him, entrusting the protection duty to Jia Wenhe and Ju Chen.
Still, he sent a mental message to KQ and White Album, who was hiding outside of the lightning Qi fog.
'Don't jump into the fray yet. I want you to do something for me.'
.
.
Meanwhile, the battle was still raging.
Seeing the incoming blood elemental palm, Ju Chen was delighted.
"Food!"
Ju Chen opened her mouth and activated two of her skills at the same time.
Vampiric Touch, Life Drain
Blood Extraction
Fu De's blood palm flew toward Ju Chen, but it disappeared as if an invisible dimensional portal was before her. It was the same ability that Fu De had used against Jia Wenhe's cauldron flame cannon.
"Hmm? You can even use that!?"
Fu De sneered as he flew away from Cao Mao and Ju Chen. Jia Wenhe chased after him, worrying about their safety.
"This is great! Jia Shan! I never thought that you could also raise a fake vampire! Xu Xiuying will probably die in anger if she knows that you succeeded, but she couldn't!" Even though Fu De was at disadvantage against a 6th-stage alchemist and a 5th-stage vampire, he still laughed and mocked both of them, "It's a pity! You can only practice a simplified art of my father, but a fake can never stand against the REAL CHOSEN ONE!!"
Fu De got serious. He activated the power of his golden core, and a 10-meter-tall great demon with a bloody saber appeared. Fu De's real body merged with the golden core avatar as if he jumped into a Gundam cockpit. Then, the demon roared.
The demonic breath power shockwave rushed at everybody in the area, including the yin slaves, Cao Mao, Kang Yan, and all fighters. Jia Wenhe had to create a fire and earth element barrier to cover Jia Shan and Kang Yan. As for Ju Chen, she retreated to generate a defensive array. The magic shield protected her sisters and their babies just in time.
However, Cao Mao got a direct hit.
"Tsk!"
Cao Mao's eardrums shattered. Blood leaked out of his ear, but he still didn't move. Even in crisis, he focused on absorbing lightning Qi without stopping.
Since the situation looked dire, White Album appeared again.
'KQ, White Album, work together and get rid of that idiot!'
As Cao Mao couldn't talk, he sent his telepathic order to his vessels.
White Album grabbed KQ's handle. Without saying anything, she rushed toward the transformed demon. The clone looked forward to fighting the colleague of her original self.
Betraying White Album's expectation, Fu De leaped to the sky and spread his two humongous demon wings. He flapped his wings and flew south as if he was escaping from something in a hurry.
Jia Wenhe and Ju Chen wanted to pursue, but they sensed more oncoming cultivators flying toward them. They left the demon cultivator alone to protect Cao Mao and the others.
Ten more 5th-stage cultivators arrived a few minutes later. Moreover, a nascent soul cultivator also showed up, leading a group of three 5th-stage experts. Among the three, CJ was also tagging along.
The 7th-stage expert was an alchemist with a pretty face and a feminine hairstyle. He donned in a pink leotard, made of glowing fibers. A pair of semi-transparent long white sleeves covered his massive arms. His bulky chest muscle, giant arms, and huge quadriceps didn't fit the weird female clothes and golden trinkets on his arms and ankles. However, nobody dared to mess with this GENTLEMAN.
Zhang Junyi, the garden master of Wet Banana Garden and the creator of Magical Girl Yuan Hua animation series, looked around while he kept his right pinky finger on his lips, trying to be woman-like.
"Ara-Ara. I sensed a terrifying demon aura somewhere here. Did he leave? Say, Jia Wenhe, you fought him just now, right? Which direction did he go?"
