Chapter 108 - 108: The Owner of the Vermillion Bird’s Blood
“Now that the Vermillion Bird’s blood has appeared, I’m afraid everyone in the Hundred Demon Battlefield has rushed over.”
After adjusting for a moment, Lin Xuan’s injuries finally recovered a little.
He looked up at Su Chen and said, “If Brother Su values that drop of Vermillion Bird’s blood, I can do my best to assist you!”
“Are you in such a hurry to repay your debt of gratitude?”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Su Chen’s face.
Lin Xuan’s words represented that Su Chen’s influence had already spread from the Great Mystery Sect to the Spirit Sword Sect.
With Lin Xuan’s potential, he would at least be the sect leader of the Spirit Sword Sect in the future, a big shot.
With him standing up for Su Chen, it would be of great help to his reputation.
In the future, there would be a few sect elders or sect leaders standing up for whatever he said outside.
With them standing up for him, the others would put in a lot of effort when bragging about him, which would be of great help to Su Chen in increasing his strength.
“The grand plan to develop believers is getting smoother and smoother!”
Su Chen thought to himself.
Immediately after, he collected his thoughts and raised his hand to summon the Cloud Piercing Shuttle. He smiled and said, “The Vermillion Bird’s blood is not very useful to me. However, no matter what, this Vermillion Bird’s blood belongs to my Dachu Empire. How can I let it fall into the hands of outsiders?”
The outsiders he referred to were none other than the black-robed man and his two subordinates.
These three people came from the Dashang Empire.
If the Vermilion Bird’s blood fell into their hands, others might think that the prodigies of various sects amounted to just this much.
Of course.
Most importantly, Su Chen wanted to see if the mysterious person behind the Ninth Princess was there!
“Brother Su is right!”
When Lin Xuan heard this, he nodded in agreement.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the Cloud Piercing Shuttle and said in a deep voice, “Brother Su, please wait a moment.”
After saying that, he walked towards the skeleton.
Not far away from the skeleton, there were two pools of blood and flesh on the ground.
From their appearance, one could not make out anything resembling a human form.
However, judging from the clothing fragments beside the flesh, they should be two disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Thinking back to the Senior Brother Lin Xuan and others that Liu Yuan had mentioned upon seeing him…
It was not just Senior Brother Lin Xuan. Su Chen immediately understood.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be that the black-robed man and the others felt that Lin Xuan was useful and left him alive.
As for the other two disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, they had killed them casually in passing.
Lin Xuan’s expression was grave. He raised his hand and cut open a radius of several meters around him before storing it in his storage ring.
“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Brother Su. I’m useless and was unable to protect my junior brothers…”
Lin Xuan’s tone was a little pained.
At the same time, a flash of killing intent passed through the depths of his eyes.
It was not aimed at Su Chen.
Instead, it was aimed at the three black-robed men and Situ Feng of the Everlasting Sect.
However, Situ Feng had already died in Su Chen’s hands.
Therefore, his only targets were the three black-robed men.
“This has always been little regard for human life in the cultivation world. Brother Lin, please do not grieve excessively.”
Su Chen gently nodded to show his understanding and spoke comfortingly.
Soon after, the two of them stepped into the Cloud Piercing Shuttle and rushed towards the place where the Vermillion Bird’s blood had appeared.
Thousands of miles away.
The world was shrouded in a crimson light.
In the sky, a Vermillion Bird illusion spread its wings and soared through the heavens.
Its body was tens of thousands of feet long, obscuring the sky and the sun. It carried the vast sky on its back, and with a flap of its wings scattered ten thousand rays of light, as if an ancient Demon Emperor had returned to the mortal world.
Everyone present could not help but want to kneel down.
Even the leaders of the various sects felt tremendous pressure bearing down on their hearts.
One had to know that this was only a drop of blood. After so many years, the power within it had already decreased by more than half.
Although it was the blood of a divine beast, its divine presence faded away as time passed.
But even so, its power was still terrifying.
If this drop of blood had not undergone the baptism of time, or if that ancient Demon Emperor was still alive, with just a breath, everyone present would have turned into ashes.
“Screech!”
Below the Vermilion Bird illusion was a majestic mountain.
At this moment, this mountain had been set up by a mysterious person with a terrifying killing formation.
The killing formation rumbled.
Sword hums shook the heavens, and endless killing intent shot straight into the clouds.
Icy sword Qi and bone-piercing killing intent saturated the mountain.
At the mountain peak, over a dozen gigantic demonic beast corpses lay on the ground.
Black blood flowed down the mountain like small streams.
Such a scene could not help but make one’s hair stand on end.
Those dead demonic beasts were at least at the initial stage of the God Altar Realm!
More than ten God Altar Realm demonic beasts were killed by one person.
If they had not witnessed it themselves, no one would have believed it.
One had to know that there was no lack of peak-stage God Altar Realm demonic beasts among those corpses!
“Which faction is this mysterious person from? With just this killing formation, he’s probably not weaker than Su Chen of the Great Mystery Sect or Situ Feng of the Everlasting Sect!”
“Haha… Aren’t you underestimating this person a little too much? As far as 1 know, this person’s strength is probably above Su Chen and Situ Feng! After all, not everyone can easily kill more than a dozen God Altar Realm demonic beasts, even the peak stage God Altar Realm demonic beasts!”
“You can’t put it that way. This mysterious person only relied on the formation to kill those demonic beasts. In true combat, Su Chen and Situ Feng can easily kill that person!”
“That person is good at setting up formations, so why there is true combat?”
“I think Su Chen of the Great Mystery Sect and Situ Feng of the Everlasting Sect should arrive here too. Rather than idly speculate here, why don’t we wait for them to get here?”
Outside the killing formation.
Many disciples of the various sects gathered together and looked at the scene at the mountain peak as they discussed animatedly.
They were all at the fifth or sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm, so they did not dare to enter this killing formation.
Even the peak stage God Altar Realm demonic beast was dead, if they rashly barged in, it would only add one more corpse.
Therefore…
They could only watch as the mysterious figure walked towards the drop of blood at the center of the mountain peak.
The drop of blood wasn’t big, only the size of a fingernail.
However…
It was this drop of blood that triggered the phenomenon in the sky!
“It seems that the ownership of the Vermillion Bird’s blood has been determined.”
Someone couldn’t help but sigh when seeing the mysterious figure getting closer and closer.
Crack!
However, just as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!
Only to see, a bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel pierced through the void from the horizon, instantly illuminating a radius of dozens of meters.
“Boom!”
A loud sound rang out.
The thunderbolt struck the killing formation.
The formation was shaken and swayed crazily.
Runes floated unsteadily in the air as if the formation would shatter in the next second.
“The Vermillion Bird’s blood is not something you can touch!”
A cold voice resounded through the world, brimming with endless domineering aura..
