Chapter 870 - 867: Blood Poison Demonic General: Blood Corpse Roar!
The Blood Cloud seemed slow, but in reality, it was incredibly fast. In a moment, it was already above the town of South Mountain.
On the bizarre and expansive Blood Cloud stood only a few figures.
Four figures dressed in blood-red robes, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes, stood suspended on the Blood Cloud, carrying a sedan chair.
The sedan chair was not ordinary, but rather the skeleton of a demon creature with four claws, nearly five or six meters long, resembling a large bird. Its claws were sharp and long, with a triangular bird head that emitted a fierce aura, indicating that in its lifetime, it was undoubtedly a formidable creature.
On the large bird’s skeletal structure, a figure stood. Despite the swift flight and the gusty winds akin to blades, the person’s blood-red robe remained unmoved, exuding a strange and chilling presence in the night with a pair of hawk-like eyes. The slender figure commanded an air of overwhelming grandeur.
"Blood Poison, it’s all thanks to you arriving just in time. Otherwise, I would have been outmaneuvered this time."
Beside the skeletal bird frame stood a figure in the air, their body radiating a massive blade shadow that shredded the air into pieces, with a speed not inferior to the Blood Cloud.
This person, with fierce brows and angry eyes, carried a blood-red treasured saber as tall as a person on his back. The blade was covered in blood mist, exuding intense evil qi—a blade that had taken many lives.
If Luo Feng were here now, he would immediately recognize this robust man as the Blood Saber Demon General who had fled from pursuit by several elders of the Golden Palace in the Misty Swamp. However, his clothes were now stained with blood, his complexion pale, and there were two massive claw marks over a foot long on his back, making survival from such a blow a rare stroke of luck.
In the battle at Misty Swamp, the Blood Saber Demon General was relentlessly pursued by Shui Linglong and the four elders of the Golden Palace. He had no choice but to risk venturing into the depths of the Misty Swamp. Though he managed to shake off Shui Linglong and the others, he was unexpectedly targeted by a top-tier level-eight demon beast and almost died. It was only the Blood Poison Demon General’s timely rescue that saved him.
Being one of the 108 Demon Generals of the Blood Demon Sect, the Blood Saber Demon General was experiencing this kind of humiliation for the first time in his life. Furious, he said coldly:
"I will have my revenge sooner or later!"
Blood Poison Demon General, expressionless, opened and closed his withered lips, emitting a piercing sound:
"Rest assured, there will be opportunities. This time, I’m planning a blood slaughter of ten cities as a warning. Otherwise, where would be the dignity of the 108 Demon Generals of our Blood Demon Sect?"
"Blood slaughter of ten cities!"
The Blood Saber Demon General was startled and then laughed sinisterly. The blood-colored blade shadow on him expanded and contracted with the sound: "Good! I will go on a killing spree then, to let the Twelve Golden Palaces know the price of angering me!"
Blood Poison Demon General nodded slightly, just about to speak when he suddenly sensed something, frowned, and his figure flashed, disappearing mid-air to reappear on a high mountain outside South Mountain Town.
On the high mountain, nearly a thousand remaining disciples of the Blood Demon Sect were already waiting. Upon seeing the Demon General, they immediately knelt on the ground, respectfully saying: "Lord Demon General!"
Blood Poison Demon General’s gaze swept over the nearly one thousand disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, most of whom were injured and in a state of disarray. Seeing this, his expression became even more grim.
"What happened here? Why hasn’t Xi’er come out to see me?"
All the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect shuddered slightly, terrified. One person, suppressing their fear, raised their head and said:
"Lord Demon General, young master was caught in the treacherous scheme of the traitors from the Twelve Golden Palaces and was accidentally killed."
As they spoke, all the Demon Sect disciples stepped aside, revealing Baili Xi’s corpse.
Boom!
As his gaze fell upon the corpse, Blood Poison Demon General’s brow twitched, with endless fury in his hawk-like, narrow eyes. A streak of blood-red light shot up from his body, piercing through the clouds and creating a massive hole. The vegetation and trees nearby withered instantly, while a few disciples closest to him turned red and their skin decayed inch by inch, eventually dissolving into a pool of pus amid their harrowing screams.
The others watched in fear but dared not stand up or flee.
"Who dared kill my beloved son, the son of Blood Poison Demon General? Who is responsible?"
With his gaze sweeping over them, Baili Xi roared.
Under Blood Poison Demon General’s piercing gaze, the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect felt a chill and began trembling involuntarily. One of them swallowed hard and said:
"It was Luo Feng, a disciple of Linglong Hall."
Boom!
A blood-colored blade shadow cut through the sky, landing beside Blood Poison Demon General.
"Luo Feng, it’s actually him!"
The blood-colored blade shadow shattered, revealing the figure of the Blood Saber Demon General. Upon hearing Luo Feng’s name and seeing Baili Xi’s corpse, his expression froze for a moment.
Blood Poison Demon General’s face calmed down, but his eyes became extremely cold and abyss-like, as if they wanted to suck in souls, as he looked at the Blood Saber Demon General and asked:
"Do you know him?"
The Blood Saber Demon General nodded slightly and said coldly:
"He is the top new hero of the four academies in the Flowing Cloud Region of the Canglang Dynasty. He comprehended the Grand Momentum, a genius talent. Back in the Red Flame Desert, I intended to eliminate him to prevent future troubles, but he managed to escape by sheer luck. At the time, he was just a Martial Artist of the Meridian Wheel Realm, so I didn’t pay much attention, sending a few Blood Saber Guards after him, and did not pursue further. Now, it seems I underestimated him. Within just a few months, he seized the title of Martial Champion and now even possesses strength rivaling that of a seventh-layer Spiritual Rotation Realm warrior, with extraordinary potential."
Indeed, the Blood Saber Demon General was shocked in his heart. Within a few months, Luo Feng evolved from the eighth layer of the Meridian Wheel Realm to the point where he could kill Baili Xi—such talent was monstrous. The potential of the opponent even made him feel a tinge of dread.
"In just a few months, from the eight layers of the Meridian Wheel Realm to the seventh layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm..."
A flicker of surprise crossed Blood Poison Demon General’s eyes. He slightly narrowed his eyes, twisted blood qi rising from his palm as he sneered and said:
"That’s perfect. This person has extraordinary talent and has also comprehended the Grand Momentum. He’s an ideal material for refining into a blood corpse. I’ll personally kill him and refine him into a blood corpse to avenge Xi’er."
Seeing the bloody aura on the Blood Poison Demonic General’s hands, a trace of trepidation flashed in the eyes of the Blood Saber Demon General. Although both of them were Martial Artists of the ninth level in the Spiritual Rotation Realm, the Blood Corpse Demon Technique was too strange. He had never taken the initiative to approach the Blood Poison Demonic General before.
Thinking of something, the Blood Saber Demon General spoke again, "I heard that Luo Feng has a close relationship with Yang Wanyi, the daughter of the City Lord of Dayang City. We’re so close to Dayang City; he might likely go there."
"Dayang City?"
The Blood Poison Demonic General nodded, his blood-colored robe fluttering in the night breeze, and grinned fiercely, "That’s even better; I was already planning to destroy Dayang City. This way, it kills two birds with one stone."
"Destroy Dayang City?"
The Blood Saber Demon General pondered slightly and said, "That’s not easy. Yang Dingtian, the City Lord of Dayang City, is as strong as you and me."
The Blood Poison Demonic General snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "Yang Dingtian, huh? He does have some ability. If I duel with him, my odds of winning wouldn’t exceed sixty percent. However, times have changed; now he probably can’t even defeat my blood corpses."
The Blood Poison Demonic General glanced at the four blood-colored figures lifting a skeletal carriage beside him.
"Why?"
The Blood Saber Demon General showed a look of surprise. Although these blood corpses were powerful, they could at most match a Martial Artist of the seventh level in the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Encountering a ninth-level Martial Artist, they would probably be obliterated in an instant.
The Blood Poison Demonic General said, "A few months ago, I had a fierce battle with Yang Dingtian in the Red Chain Mountain Range. He was hit by my Blood Yin Poison. Now, his strength is reduced by eighty to ninety percent; any Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist can easily kill him."
"Blood Yin Poison!"
The Blood Saber Demon General took a deep breath and nodded, "I see."
The Blood Poison Demonic General gazed towards South Mountain Town, seeing the raging blood corpses inside. His eyes flickered for a moment before he stepped out, and his figure instantly leapt into the air.
Vroom!
The air rippled slightly, and the Blood Poison Demonic General’s whole body surged with bloody energy. In the void behind him, countless blood-colored figures struggled and roared as if ghosts were trying to escape from hell.
Roar! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Suddenly, the Blood Poison Demonic General opened his mouth and roared angrily, shaking the void. Blood-colored ripples spread out from his mouth, extending in all directions.
The faces of nearby Blood Demon Sect disciples turned pale, feeling as though their blood was uncontrollably about to leave their bodies. They hurriedly sealed their ears with Yuan Qi before feeling a bit better.
Awoooooooooo...
With a roar from the Blood Poison Demonic General, the blood corpses in South Mountain Town suddenly howled at the sky and then, like wild beasts, charged southward, soon disappearing into the night like a torrent.
The Blood Poison Demonic General stood in the void, looking down coldly at the Blood Demon Sect disciples below. "You failed to protect your master this time; I’ll remember this. Now head to Dayang City immediately. If you can kill Luo Feng, good. If not, you know the consequences."
"Thank you, Demon General!"
Upon hearing this, each Blood Demon Sect disciple, as if granted amnesty, immediately got up and chased after the direction in which the blood corpses had departed.
"Let’s go."
The Blood Poison Demonic General appeared on a giant bird skeleton, uttering a hoarse voice. The four immobile blood-colored figures rose at once, flying up into the sky.
The night deepened.
A large blood cloud and a massive blood-colored saber shadow quickly disappeared into the sky.
In the Broken Wall Gorge.
Time passed slowly in the night. Before he knew it, it was past midnight. Luo Feng opened his eyes, full of energy.
"It’s indeed a top-grade fifth-level healing elixir. In just a few hours, my injuries have completely healed, and my Yuan Qi has returned to its peak state."
Standing up, Luo Feng activated the Divine Dragon Nine Changes and felt the surging Yuan Qi within his body, his eyes displaying delight. The effectiveness of the Qingling Revitalizing Pill was even better than he had imagined.
Baili Xi had certainly delivered him a great gift. The value of this healing spirit pill was beyond imagination if auctioned.
Roar...
At this moment, Luo Feng’s ears caught a heart-shaking roar, the sound coming from a hundred miles away. Vaguely, he even felt the nearby Yuan Qi becoming more active because of it.
"What’s this..."
Luo Feng’s eyes widened in surprise.
Next to him, Lin Hongyi opened her eyes, a gleam flashing in her beautiful eyes as she said gravely,
"That’s the Blood Corpse Roar from the Blood Corpse Demon Technique; the Blood Poison Demonic General has arrived."
