Chapter 562: Blood Riders Embrace Death and Slash with Sword Intent
The Golden Pill Monks around were terrified.
Blood Hand Demon Li Tu.
His infamous reputation shook the Northern Plains, billions of living beings perished under his Blood Palm, including many direct lineage members of the Northern Plains families. He had always been sinister and fearless in the face of life and death.
Now, facing some terrifying enemy, the fear he displayed was palpable.
Among the crowd, Immortal Baimei's eyes flickered.
"Tushan Sword Cultivators!"
No need to continue, Blood Cloud said in a heavy tone.
Such Sword Intent, and from Tushan, who else could it be but a Tushan Sword Cultivator?
However, they had assumed that the opponent's strength was at most close to that of their second brother, possibly becoming the third general of Blood Cloud, the Blood Sword General.
Now it seemed, this Sword Intent...
Blood Cloud felt shocked in his heart.
This Sword Intent faintly surpassed Scorching Sun Swordsman Lie Shan, whom he had met several times, and it was truly terrifying that it still appeared in the Blood Lotus Child, like a bone-deep affliction, from over two thousand kilometers away.
Sword Cultivators,
regard Sword Intent above all.
If someone has a powerful Sword Intent, it's hard to imagine that their strength could be weak.
In a breath's time, the azurite sword scar that started at the glabella had already spread over the small figure of the lotus child like a spider web.
The Sword Qi of Soul-shattering Annihilation Art began to emerge bit by bit, the spider web turning into a blood web, penetrating into the bone and blood, tiny blood traces appearing, intending to cut the lotus child into myriad pieces, finishing the incomplete sword strike.
"Big brother! Save me!"
"Save me!"
Li Tu's face contorted, he screamed in agony, and his eyes even filled with tears, full of panic and fear.
This was his big brother, with whom he had grown up since childhood; they lost their parents early on, he was like a father to him.
At this moment, when death was imminent, his true feelings surfaced.
"Second brother, guard the Lake of Heart, mobilize Mana and Divine Soul to block, don't let this Sword Intent affect your mind!"
Blood Cloud said in a deep voice.
He didn't have time to worry whether the Tushan Sword Cultivator would pursue them, the murky Blood Domain spread outwards.
In an instant, numerous soldiers were fighting, swords and spears breaking, blood flowing and oars drifting—the ghostly images appeared, and a fierce and bloody Magic Intention spread out, making the surrounding Golden Pill Cultivators feel a heaviness in their hearts, experiencing a sluggishness in their Mana.
Half Legal Domain!
Immortal Baimei, who had just joined Blood Cloud Eighteen Knights as a Guest Knight Blood Rider, was greatly shocked, and such a thought emerged.
This Half Legal Domain,
almost had the power of a Nascent Soul Monk, forbidding all magic. No wonder, among those at the Golden Pill Peak, some remain obscure while others are renowned; the difference cannot be measured.
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"
Within the crimson Half Legal Domain, the shouts of killing were non-stop, and the power of Divine Soul surged into it, transforming into knights with distinct armor.
Each of them holding a blood spear, with steeds at their sides, they gathered into a mighty host of Blood Riders, their shouts clashing with the azurite Sword Intent, fierce as the heavens.
Immortal Baimei and the others held their breath.
They knew this wasn't magic or blood, but Magic Intention materialized into solid form, about to clash with the Sword Intent.
The Blood Riders charged into the midst of the azurite sword scars.
Clank!
Suddenly, a sword chime was heard.
The Sword Intent of Destruction that was attacking the Blood Lotus Child, intending to turn it into countless pieces of flesh and blood, became enraged, as if a supreme emperor was defied by his subjects.
The azurite light suddenly intensified, swallowing up the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi.
Countless tiny specks of Sword Qi emerged around the Blood Lotus Child's body, making metallic sounds, rushing towards the groups of Blood Riders.
Rustle rustle...
The Sword Qi surged like a tide, engulfing swathes of the Blood Riders, whose knights bore holes in their heads, blood spears broken, horses neighing mournfully, falling silently.
In a blink, the vast expanse of crimson was cleared away in large swathes.
"This Sword Intent..."
Blood Cloud's heart sank.
This Sword Intent was far stronger than his Magic Intention!
This would be fine, but it even carries a sharp aura that annihilates magic and shatters souls.
Magic, divine souls, and the like are like paper in its presence, often a single strand of sword qi can slay ten times the number of knights conjured from the magic intention of the blood cloud, unstoppable.
The gap between the magic intention of the Blood Cloud and this sword intent is terrifyingly wide!
Blood Cloud knew that things had become troublesome.
Previously, he had intended to recruit such a powerful being to serve under him, to add as the third Blood Sword General among the Blood Cloud, and had inadvertently sent his second brother to test and attempt an assassination, creating enmity.
Such a person could potentially slay even him!
"Even so... it's just a wisp of sword intent after all!"
A chill spread across Blood Cloud's face.
Thinking back, he had emerged from the ranks of common horse slaves of the Yin's, cultivated for hundreds of years to this very day, daring to strike face-to-face with Patriarch Nascent Soul, to rage and roar; would he then fear a peer?
"Kill!"
Blood Cloud let out a low shout.
Whoosh!
The power of his divine soul, no longer held back, surged wildly, myriad blood flags fluttering, ten of thousands of blood riders spurred their horses, raising long spears and charging towards the sword qi.
Just like his own life, fearless of death, undaunted by hardships and dangers, full of heroic ardor, daring to confront face-to-face the many noble scions on the plains with the identity of a horse slave, challenging whether they had the same mettle or not.
Clang!
The azure sword qi shimmered, slashing down rapidly, and with each flicker, a blood rider fell in death.
Formations were useless,
magic was useless.
Sword qi with spirit-destroying annihilation art cut straight through, nothing could stop it, knights kept falling, clearing swathes one after another.
Nevertheless,
when one rider fell, ten moved forward.
When ten riders fell, a hundred moved forward.
If a hundred riders died, then thousands, tens of thousands would join!
A relentless stream, unwavering, ceaselessly shouting and charging, endlessly slaughtering, regardless of any death, regardless of any sword intent.
In the midst of such a tide-like offensive, even the azure sword qi could be overwhelmed and drowned.
The azure sword net around the figure of the small person began to retract, submerging into the body, skin returning to a semi-translucent state.
"Not good!"
Blood Cloud's expression changed dramatically.
The azure sword net, upon finding itself outmatched by the external blood riders, ruthlessly entered the body of the small person, with streams of sword qi fighting desperately, aiming for the head and golden pill within the elixir field of the Blood Lotus Child to destroy all layers of resistance along the way, intending to completely slay, leaving no chance of survival.
Just like this sword intent, precise, efficient, and bloody!
The energy pathways of the Obscuring Blood River Hand were systematically destroyed, the newly formed meridians of the lotus child frail beyond compare, utterly unable to withstand it.
Behind, the knights of the Blood Cloud pursued and eliminated each strand of azure sword qi.
Yet, the leading Sword Qi of Destruction had already slashed towards the head and divine soul of the Blood Lotus Child, as well as the golden pill.
"Big brother!"
"It's over for me..."
Li Tu, the size of a thumb, knowing he couldn't escape, splashed tears of blood: "Not having reached Nascent Soul, you must not seek revenge. It's not been in vain following you through this life, brother."
Blood Cloud's expression was icy cold.
Boom!
The azure sword qi burst forth, the head of the lotus child shattered, the elixir field exploded, and then the whole body of the lotus child disintegrated into a rain of blood and flesh scattering in all directions.
The vast array of blood riders arrived too late, pouncing on the remnants of azure sword qi amid the blood and flesh, consuming it completely.
Countless pieces of blood and flesh fell to the ground.
A moment later, the pieces of blood and flesh flew upwards, not a single bit ignored, all absorbed into the palm of a hand.
Blood Cloud, without a word, slit his own wrist, letting the deep red fresh blood pour into the mound of blood and flesh.
This blood was the essence blood of a Blood Dao Cultivator, filled with a powerful life force, extremely precious, capable of regenerating flesh from bone, and capable of reviving a person on the brink of death with but a single breath.
However,
the essence blood poured in but could find no place to reside.
Under the Sword Qi of Destruction, each piece of flesh, each bone, had become lifeless dead matter.
