Chapter 72: This Group of People Only Causes Trouble!
The red-robed woman shot a resentful glance at the group of idiots. She tossed the bell in her hand into the air. The moment it floated, it automatically rang, instantly scattering the incoming Blood Qi.
Her figure instantly rushed toward the Blood Qi Ball hanging in the center of the ritual array. The phantom of the Blood Lotus behind her spread out, enveloping her within it.
Seeing this scene, the Wind Sword Sect Master also understood the situation. This was the Holy Sect's final ritual; this Holy Mother must be the real one.
The Wind Sword Sect Master quickly drew his sword to support her, with several Golden Core elders following closely behind. Several Flying Swords rapidly left their sheaths, quickly splitting into dozens. They frantically attacked Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen did not hesitate, controlling the Blood Qi in the area to rapidly cling to Yao Qin's body. "Accept the Blood Qi."
Hearing this, Yao Qin did not hesitate, hurriedly dispersing her Spirit Qi Shield. She allowed the Blood Qi to cling to her body and quickly felt that it could now be controlled as if it were her own arm. Furthermore, it was continuously providing an extremely frenzied energy.
This greatly alleviated the pressure on Yao Qin's Spirit Qi. However, Yao Qin's cold expression, combined with the Blood Qi coiling around her, made her look far more like an evil cultivator than Chu Xingchen.
After first consuming an Emergency Healing Pill, Yao Qin pressed forward. The long sword in her hand once again condensed Spirit Power, and the surrounding Blood Qi also rapidly clung to it.
With a cold shout, Yao Qin held her long sword and suddenly charged toward the four Wind Sword Sect Golden Core cultivators who were eager to provide backup.
The Heavenly Derivation Grand Pure Sword, enhanced by the Blood Qi, was swung once more. The originally pure and flashing light of Spirit Power was now coated with boundless Blood Qi. A single swing carried an endless bloody aura.
If the basic version of the Heavenly Derivation Grand Pure Sword had a purely cold and sharp feeling, then the enhanced version had a frantic, get-out-of-my-way, I'm-gonna-roll-over-everything feeling.
The violent energy scattered randomly in all directions, and the rock walls rapidly began to crack.
Facing such a majestic sword strike, the four from the Wind Sword Sect did not dare to be negligent. The Blood Qi within their bodies suddenly erupted, and their long swords changed target, heading toward Yao Qin.
Chu Xingchen glanced over and, seeing that Yao Qin could still hold them off for a while, also unhesitatingly charged toward the Blood Qi Ball.
No matter what the red-robed woman wanted to do, as long as he could thwart her wishes, it was a huge gain! He had already won the fight for the Blood Qi, so this ball was also his!
A bloody aura suddenly emanated from the Spirit Sword in Chu Xingchen's hand. Although Li Yingling's Divine Ability proficiency was higher than Li Xingtian's, after exchanging passwords with the Blood Qi, he discovered that Li Xingtian's Divine Ability, while somewhat unskilled, seemed to have a natural suppressive effect on this Blood Qi. In short, he would use whichever was more effective.
Dark red, frenzied Spirit Power clung to the Spirit Sword in his hand. The Golden Core within Chu Xingchen's body spun violently. With a loud shout, the dark red Blood Qi on his Spirit Sword condensed.
This sword strike easily shattered the resistance of the Blood Lotus phantom and entered it directly.
Chu Xingchen unhesitatingly injected his Spirit Power into it—who cared what this thing was, he would snatch it first and talk later!
However, this process was not easy. The Blood Lotus was still constantly resisting the Spirit Power Chu Xingchen was transmitting. But thanks to the suppression from his cultivation method and the strength of his Flawless Golden Core at its peak, Chu Xingchen was still able to force his Spirit Power in.
Immediately following... Hand it over! The cultivation method belonging to Li Xingtian operated frantically, rapidly stripping away the red-robed woman's control. As long as he persisted for a little longer, this ball would belong entirely to Chu Xingchen.
Facing the current situation, the red-robed woman was completely helpless. If she continued to persist with this brat, she would definitely be the one to suffer a loss.
With no other choice, the Blood Lotus erupted with brilliant light. She dared not use Blood Qi anymore, fearing it would be seized and utilized by Chu Xingchen. A renowned evil cultivator was actually forced into a position where she could not use her evil arts.
The power of the Nascent Soul suddenly erupted. Another petal floated down from the Blood Lotus and smashed directly toward Chu Xingchen.
The red-robed woman was, after all, a Nascent Soul cultivator. Chu Xingchen saw this out of the corner of his eye and did not dare to harden his body to test the power of this move, quickly retreating.
After using this move to force Chu Xingchen back, the red-robed woman could no longer maintain her state and also quickly fell from mid-air.
As the Blood Lotus no longer enveloped it, Chu Xingchen looked up and saw the Blood Qi-wreathed ball dissipate. He saw a little girl of about five or six years old, with ragged clothes, as Blood Qi was poured into her body from all directions.
The dark red Blood Qi had already spread across all her skin, making her seem as if she had turned into a blood person. Or perhaps... she was in the process of turning into one.
When Chu Xingchen's Divine Sense swept over her, he discovered her entire body was incredibly fragile. The bones and muscles within her had almost turned into blood...
This Saint Fetus was likely a child who met certain conditions, refined anew with Blood Qi sacrifice, to have her Root Bone remade, and be transformed into an embryo to be reborn.
The child's heartbeat was already extremely weak; it seemed the sacrificial refinement had reached its final stage.
But there was no time to worry about that now. Chu Xingchen first raised his hand, controlling the surrounding Blood Qi to rush toward Yao Qin's direction to alleviate her pressure.
The red-robed woman took a deep breath and angrily questioned, "What evil cultivator are you?!"
Dark red Spirit Qi once again clung to the Spirit Sword in Chu Xingchen's hand, its might rapidly climbing. The remaining Blood Qi condensed around him, and in a flash, his figure pressed down before the red-robed woman.
The Spirit Sword in his hand carried boundless might as he chopped down toward the red-robed woman. The advantage is mine! Only a fool would give you time to stall!
With an angry shout, the red-robed woman quickly brought the bell at her side forward to block.
At this moment, the red-robed woman was already powerless to continue protecting the surrounding ritual array from harm. This time, when the two clashed, the huge aftershock of Spirit Power rapidly swept through everything.
The power was so great that even Yao Qin and the others on the other side were affected, each using their Spirit Power to resist the aftershock.
The red-robed woman looked in horror at the Saint Fetus still floating in mid-air, only to find that the Blood Qi from the 6 cauldrons was still being controlled by the ritual array, exerting its effect and keeping the incredibly fragile Saint Fetus safe and sound.
Seeing this, she had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Xingchen free his right hand. Terrifying Blood Qi frantically condensed, as if preparing to directly strike the incredibly fragile Saint Fetus.
But this was a feint from Chu Xingchen. The Blood Qi he was actually controlling at this moment was not intended to attack the Saint Fetus.
Just as the red-robed woman was about to interrupt Chu Xingchen's action, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, along with a loud warning from the Wind Sword Sect Master: "Be careful!"
She instinctively raised her hand to block, but the chill quickly penetrated her Spirit Qi Shield and struck directly at her body!
Ding! A long sword swiftly pierced through the red-robed woman's chest. She glanced sideways and saw Yao Qin with her hands forming seals, her gaze locked onto her coldly.
And behind Yao Qin, a thick wall of Blood Qi blocked the attacks from the 4 useless members of the Wind Sword Sect.
As expected... this group of people only causes trouble! As this thought flashed through the red-robed woman's mind, the long sword flashed past again, piercing her body once more.
Chu Xingchen let out an angry roar, frantically mobilizing the full power of the Golden Core within his body. Strike her while she's down!
This sword strike fiercely split open the blocking bell. Chu Xingchen immediately followed up by swinging out a blade of Spirit Power Sword Qi, cleaving the red-robed woman's body completely in two.
Boom! After the exploding, frenzied Sword Qi completely shattered the red-robed woman's body, it still possessed terrifying residual power, crushing everything and opening another door in the cave.
Just as Yao Qin recalled her Spirit Sword, the wall of Blood Qi was also dispersed.
The 4 from the Wind Sword Sect were about to step forward to fight again, only to find that the Holy Mother had turned into a puddle of mangled flesh, scattered everywhere.
Chu Xingchen, holding his Spirit Sword, and Yao Qin both stared coldly at the 4 from the Wind Sword Sect.
Without much hesitation, with the Holy Mother dead, the plan had already failed. Even if they won the bloody battle, it would be meaningless. Besides... they might not even win this damn fight.
The 4 from the Wind Sword Sect didn't even speak to discuss. Their movements were perfectly uniform. They turned and ran without hesitation.
