Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 915 - 499: Collapse_2

"I admit you have some skill, but you can fight; others may not be as capable as you."

From within the Blood Sea, Su Jie’s cold laughter echoed, and the Blood Sea stirred, forming a large, indistinct face that sneered at Situ Hao.

This Situ Hao indeed had much greater strength than Zhang Xinpeng, whom Su Jie had confronted, and as the second most powerful figure in the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, his prowess was unquestionable.

However, Su Jie did not necessarily need to win against him personally; there were many ways to achieve victory.

"Hmm?"

Situ Hao felt an ominous premonition; he had been fully engaged in the battle with Su Jie, but suddenly he noticed something—the presence of Su Jie’s mount and that female ghost was missing.

He spread his Divine Sense, opening the Heavenly Eye, and that uneasy feeling was immediately confirmed.

Due to the high intensity and speed at which Taoist Platform Realm cultivators fought, the battlefield’s range expanded to hundreds of kilometers with dozens of such cultivators engaged.

Su Jie’s vanished thousand-hand centipede and Han Ruyan had already reached another part of the battlefield, targeting the righteous sect’s cultivators.

Although the demon path possessed a six-versus-five numerical advantage, Taoist Platform Realm cultivators had strong survival abilities. Winning was easy, killing was hard, so despite the demon path’s advantage, it was not enough to convert into a complete victory. However, with the thousand-hand centipede and Han Ruyan joining, it was different.

"You despicable scoundrel, have the guts to face me!"

Situ Hao immediately discerned Su Jie’s insidious intent, his face turning pale.

Su Jie intended to eliminate the easy targets first, killing all other righteous cultivators before leaving him alone to fight Su Jie.

Saying this, Situ Hao resumed Sword Control, but this time, he no longer wanted to vie with the Blood Sea but aimed to support other righteous cultivators.

Yet, how could Su Jie let him have his way?

"Don’t rush off! We haven’t determined the victor yet, Netherworld Bone Mountain Formation!"

As Su Jie’s massive face in the Blood Sea revealed a sinister grin, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was put to use by Su Jie, and the Huangquan River spanned the Blood Sea. Nine immense Bone Mountains fell in succession, millions of Yin Souls roared and swarmed out, blocking Situ Hao’s path.

The Blood Sea transformed into an endless curtain, darkening the sky, countless tentacles and Blood Demons attacked, trapping Situ Hao completely.

Su Jie’s Blood Sea collaborated seamlessly with the Netherworld Bone Mountain Formation, making it impossible for Situ Hao to escape.

"Get lost! If you have the guts, duel me one-on-one."

Situ Hao’s face flushed, shouting furiously, each outbreak of Sword Qi could cut through a section of Blood Sea, but the Blood Sea would instantly heal.

Though Situ Hao’s Sword Qi was strong and his Flying Sword indeed sharp, witnessing the vast, spreading Blood Sea and the millions of Yin Souls, a sense of helplessness arose in his heart. Against the Blood Sea, he and his Flying Sword seemed exceptionally small.

No matter how sharp his Nine Sword Seals were, faced with such circumstances, he felt deeply trapped, unable to break free from Su Jie, unless he could endure over a long period, at least one or two hours, slowly killing the Yin Souls and depleting the Blood Sea. Yet ironically, what he lacked most at this moment was time.

Let alone one or two hours, he couldn’t afford to delay even a minute now.

"Hehe, fool, fighting requires brains."

Regarding this, Su Jie merely smirked, watching Situ Hao trapped within the Blood Sea, unrestrained in his mockery.

Meanwhile, as Su Jie trapped Situ Hao, Taoist Platform Realm experts were already beginning to fall over here.

Qi Huimu from Qingzhou Tianqing Pavilion was a Taoist Platform Realm expert, at this moment engaged in battle with a Supreme Elder from Fire Cloud Palace.

The duel between two Taoist Platform Realm experts was particularly intense, as they fought, the battlefield had already moved a hundred kilometers away from Su Jie.

Their combat was evenly matched, though Fire Cloud Palace’s Elder had slightly superior individual prowess, it wasn’t enough to win the fight.

Yet, amid their intense fight, a peculiar force suddenly infiltrated.

"Who is it? Not good."

Qi Huimu’s face changed dramatically, sensing danger, his body was encroached by a bizarre force, but as he was engaged in combat, his reaction was ultimately a beat slow.

Behind him, Han Ruyan’s figure suddenly appeared, reaching out with her right hand, grabbing in the air.

Poof!

Qi Huimu only felt a chill in his heart; looking down, he saw a bloody hole in his left chest, with the heart vanished.

Han Ruyan grasped the heart with her delicate hand, eyes cold and indifferent, as if looking at a dead man.

Because of the physical contact, the curse had entirely infected his body.

Countless twisted, eerie black spots appeared on Qi Huimu’s skin; every moment, these spots emitted a mortifying aura, while inside him, the flesh, blood, and marrow underwent degenerative changes, rapidly rotting and stinking.

"It’s you, female ghost..."

Qi Huimu’s eyes were filled with horror; Han Ruyan’s curse power was beyond imagination, and his physical body couldn’t withstand it.

"Haha, thank you."

The Fire Cloud Palace Elder’s eyes brightened, immediately delivering consecutive punches, sending him plummeting to the ground, bones shattered aplenty.

In just a moment, under the combined attack of a person and a ghost, Qi Huimu was pushed to the brink of death.

Han Ruyan took out a brass mirror from her hand, reflecting it on Qi Huimu.

Qi Huimu’s spiritual power had been mostly eroded by the curse, his physical body battered, unable to resist. His body contorted, rapidly decomposing at the chest, where a gravestone swiftly emerged, sprouting countless black hairs from its base, embedding into Qi Huimu’s flesh, consuming his nutrients, making the gravestone grow taller, pinning him to the ground.

In just half a minute, Qi Huimu’s life force completely dissipated, his entire body transformed into a pile of decayed white bones.

And upon the already towering gravestone, originally smooth and shiny, a line of text appeared slowly: "Gravestone of Qi Huimu!"

Han Ruyan descended, first using a spare Soul Summoning Banner to absorb Qi Huimu’s Primordial Spirit, then took Qi Huimu’s Storage Bag.

Her delicate hand flipped again, the gravestone that absorbed Qi Huimu’s nutrients fell into Han Ruyan’s hand, rapidly shrinking until it took the form of a pendant, with the interior disclosing a crimson hue, like a piece of red jade.

Because Qi Huimu’s blood was sealed within, which could later be handed over to her husband for cultivating the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, as Su Jie’s wife, she was well-skilled in frugality, hoarding the Primordial Spirit, blood, and Storage Bag.

On the other side, the Fire Cloud Palace Elder witnessed this scene; initially intending to negotiate with Han Ruyan for a share of Qi Huimu’s Storage Bag’s resources, he opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.

After all, Han Ruyan, the female ghost, seemed particularly difficult to communicate with, employing Soul Stripping and Blood Extraction. He pondered over himself, feeling that if he spoke up, he might be eliminated by this terrifying female ghost, robbed of his wealth, bled and stripped of soul, then presented as if he and Qi Huimu perished together, having nowhere to cry by then.

A fierce ghost mingling with demon cultivators certainly couldn’t be expected to possess high character.

"Continue."

Han Ruyan organized her belongings, her indifferent gaze sweeping over the Fire Cloud Palace Elder.

The Fire Cloud Palace Elder nodded, promptly joining another battle.

In truth, it’s not only here that Han Ruyan intervened; the thousand-hand centipede also collaborated with Fire Cloud Palace to eliminate a Supreme Elder from the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance.

The liberated personnel immediately joined other battlefields, forming situations where numbers overwhelmed the opposing side; originally six-on-five, now evolved to six-on-three, two demon path cultivators ganging up on one righteous sect cultivator, further escalating into snowballing, not mentioning more assistance from the thousand-hand centipede and Han Ruyan.

The release of more personnel signified the righteous sect’s battle was swiftly collapsing.

A few righteous Taoist Platform Realm experts fell visibly rapidly; they wanted to escape, but in their besieged state, with Han Ruyan’s eerie curse and the thousand-hand centipede’s extensive attacks, escaping was nothing short of daydreaming.

Ultimately, these five Taoist Platform Realm experts perished one by one within half an hour, and with freed personnel such as Zhang Junwei, Lu Jingshi, plus four Fire Cloud Palace Elders, they all converged on Su Jie’s side.

When Su Jie opened the Blood Sea, six Taoist Platform Realm experts entered, seeing Situ Hao inside in a state of despair.

Originally planning to gang up on Su Jie, Situ Hao hadn’t anticipated becoming the one encircled and beaten.

Momentarily, gazing at the seven Taoist Platform Realm cultivators, his expression turned lifeless and despairing.
