Chapter 822: Blood Race Assassination
The Great Yu Realm temporarily won the battle over the Eastern Domain's space passage, repelling the allied forces of the Blood Clan and the aliens.
After meeting the Burning Sword King of the Eight Sword Saints, Ye Luofeng planned to return to the Eight Sword Saints' gate to have a look.
The journey was long, and since it was a time of war, the Burning Sword King sent five disciples to accompany Ye Luofeng back to the sect, partly for more protection in numbers and also to bring back some intelligence information.
The group traveled on a flying ship, sailing through Yunhai.
On the ship, the other five male disciples of the Eight Sword Saints looked at Chen Yu with eyes filled with resentment and jealousy.
They could hardly believe that the Ice Lotus Fairy, who remained reclusive within the sect and kept others at arm's length, actually had a... Daoist companion.
Should this news reach the Eight Sword Saints, sixty to seventy percent of the male disciples in the sect would likely be devastated.
"Brother Lin, where did this kid come from, to be able to pair with Junior Sister Ye as..."
One disciple transmitted secretly, and every time he thought of the term "Daoist couple," a faint pain welled up in his heart.
Among the disciples of the Eight Sword Saints, the leading man with a square face and green robe sighed, "Not sure."
"This person is obscure; how could he be worthy of the Ice Lotus Fairy?"
"No, I heard that this person had previously fought fiercely against a Blood Clan's Sky Sea Realm expert on the battlefield..."
A few disciples of the Eight Sword Saints discussed secretly and decided to test Chen Yu.
They could not tolerate a beautiful flower being stuck in cow dung. If Chen Yu indeed had skills, they would accept it.
"This may not be wise," the green-robed man furrowed his brows slightly.
As Ye Luofeng's Daoist companion about to visit as a guest at the Eight Sword Saints, how could they treat a guest like this?
"Brother Lin, isn't he yet to reach the Eight Sword Saints? We will treat him well once he arrives," a sharp-mouthed man curved his lips.
However, just at that moment.
A figure appeared at the back of the ship, rapidly approaching.
"Captain Huang, what brings you here?"
The green-robed man stood up, and the ship slowed in speed.
"The Burning Sword King forgot something and commanded me to personally inform you,"
Captain Huang, who appeared ordinary but bore an unusual aura, swiftly approached.
"I wonder what matter is so urgent that he had Captain Huang personally come to tell us."
The green-robed man was slightly startled.
Captain Huang's cultivation was higher than his, and his battle achievements were commendable, holding a much higher position in the military camp than him.
"The Burning Sword King asked me to tell you..."
Captain Huang's smile grew more intense, his expression suddenly changed, and his ordinary face twisted hideously with an evil grin, "Today you will meet your end here!"
Upon these words, Captain Huang's entire body began to swell, and his skin tore open a slit.
Swish!
A blood-red shadow shot out, transforming into a blood man with a crystal-clear, blood-red body, with blood light seemingly flowing within.
At the same time, an endless blood sea surged out, spreading over a kilometer.
The ship was trapped in the blood sea, stopping suddenly, and everyone aboard felt a powerful oppressive force, with their inner Qi boiling as if about to surge forth.
"You are... Blood Clan!"
Several disciples of the Eight Sword Saints froze on the spot, eyes wide with terror as they stared at the blood-red figure in the sky.
"Captain Huang turned out to be a Blood Clan infiltrator." The green-robed man was similarly shocked, not anticipating this.
Captain Huang was considered someone of some reputation in the military camp.
Moreover, they were amazed to discover that after exposing his true identity, Captain Huang's cultivation was... Half-step Condensed Star!
Captain Huang did not hesitate to reveal his identity, possibly to kill just a few of them?
In any case, the opponent would surely not let them go.
"We're doomed."
The green-robed man looked utterly despairing.
Although there were seven people on the ship, in front of a half-step king, even the peak of late Sky Sea Realm counts for little.
Those with lower cultivation could be crushed with ease, effortlessly.
"Blood Clan's Half-step Condensing Star..."
Chen Yu frowned.
He suspected that the Blood Clan expert might be targeting him.
He just didn't expect the Blood Clan's actions to be so swift, even sending a half-step king.
Hum gurgle~
In the Blood Clan's half-step king's palm, blood surged and gathered, forming a blood bead with terrifying aura waves that terrified everyone, as if the blood in their bodies was about to burst out.
Facing the Blood Clan's half-step king, they stood frozen, trembling all over, unable even to muster the will to resist.
Swish!
The blood bead in Captain Huang's hand suddenly shot out, tracing a dazzling blood arc as it descended.
At that moment, Chen Yu suddenly charged out, with demonic patterns surging behind him, forming a black wall nearly fifty meters in length and width.
Swish pop!
The moment the blood bead landed, it exploded, turning into a terrifying blood light storm that spread in all directions, shattering everything.
Under this attack, the Demon Dragon Barrier gradually crumbled.
"Retreat!"
Chen Yu sensed the strength of this Blood Clan's half-step king.
Both being in the Half-step Condensing Star Realm, the opponent, a powerful Blood Clan, had might surpassing even the Saint Master.
Thud!
Chen Yu stomped hard with his right foot, causing the ship to descend to avoid the aftermath of the half-step Condensing Star's attack.
"Junior Brother Xie."
The green-robed man looked to the side and suddenly exclaimed.
The person who was fine earlier had now become a shriveled corpse, with all blood and vitality drained from his body.
Though Chen Yu had rushed out to block, the residual wave of the half-step king's attack still easily claimed the life of a Sky Sea Realm late stage.
Others' faces were pale, much of their blood life force also drawn out.
Had Chen Yu not intervened, they might all have perished under the Blood Clan's half-step king's single blow.
"Huh, only one died?"
The Blood Man floated in the sky, overlooking below, his gaze slightly sizing up Chen Yu.
When he received the secret order from the Blood Race, he was very shocked.
To capture a human alive, they actually didn't hesitate to expose his identity.
That move just now was his probe.
Although the Blood Race secret order wanted him to capture Chen Yu alive, if the opponent were to die from this strike, he couldn't be blamed.
Facts prove that the person the Blood Race wanted him to capture was indeed extraordinary.
"This person's target is me!"
Chen Yu's heart thumped slightly, already certain inside.
On the battlefield, the mysterious heart absorbed the power of the Blood Clan's Holy Artifact, arousing the Blood Clan King's fury, followed by a half-step Condensed Star Realm from the Blood Race coming to kill.
It was obvious the opposition was here to investigate him.
"If I reveal my trump card, I can manage to contend with them, but the others here..."
Chen Yu glanced at Ye Luofeng.
Given the fearsome means of a Blood Race half-step Condensed Star Realm, the aftermath of the attack could wipe out ordinary Sky Sea Realm.
Moreover, this Blood Race half-step Condensed Star Realm has exposed his identity and will definitely leave no survivors.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu made a decision within.
He rose into the air, cursing loudly, "Damn Blood Race, to actually hide among the Human Race, now that your identity has been exposed, you better scram quickly, once the Human Race experts arrive, you'll surely be left with no place to die."
This shout stunned everyone present.
Several disciples of the Eight Sword Saints couldn't help but open their mouths wide, surprised and admiring, an Mid-stage Sky Sea Realm to actually curse a half-step Condensed Star Realm.
And the Blood Race half-step King also paused for a breath, then immediately flashed a cold blood-red glow, killing intent spread out, dimming the world.
"You brat, are you deliberately provoking me, hoping I'll give you a swift death?"
The Blood Race half-step King's deep, icy voice echoed, half-step Primordial Power surged, a layer of dark red blood light floated in the world, making all living things tremble.
Seeing the successful provocation of the opponent, Chen Yu turned and ran.
He deployed Demon Dragon Shadow Control, stirring a black dragon tail-like demonic wind.
Simultaneously, golden wings unfolded behind him, boosting his speed further.
Adding on the amplification from Spatial Power, Chen Yu's speed at this moment, even slightly outpaces that of the general Late Sky Sea Realm.
But that isn't enough!
His heart entered the charging state, further boosting speed.
Whoosh!
Chen Yu soared dramatically, swiftly disappearing.
Originally, seeing Chen Yu flee, the Blood Race half-step King had guessed Chen Yu's plan, "He actually wants to lure me away, to save these ants' lives?"
He scoffed at this, exterminating several ants, to a half-step King, was but a matter of moments.
Yet when Chen Yu's speed erupted completely, the Blood Race half-step King frowned slightly.
The opponent's speed was indeed fast, if he delayed, there's no telling that Chen Yu might actually escape.
The mission absolutely cannot fail!
Swish!
The Blood Race half-step King glowed blood red, darting out.
"Gone!"
The man in green robe breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden lifted, collapsing to the ground.
"Quickly retreat!"
However, Ye Luofeng suddenly shouted, swiftly retreating, unleashing a layer of True Essence Power, propelling everyone backward.
In the distant sky, a streak of blood light shot forth.
As it approached the crowd, the blood light bloomed, transforming into a violent blood-colored storm, sweeping in all directions, devouring everything.
"Ice Lotus Sword Technique!"
Facing the frightening strike of the half-step King, Ye Luofeng's eyes firmed, wielding the ice sword.
At the Food God's banquet, her cultivation had reached the Mid-stage Sea Sky Realm Peak, effortlessly defeating Evil Moon Sect's Yin Yue.
After consuming Holy Dragon flesh, the benefits she gained weren't as much as Chen Yu, but not lacking, over the years, her cultivation had already broken through to Late Stage of Sky Sea.
Heaven and earth swirled with ice and snow, Sword Intent traversed, in front of Ye Luofeng, an Ice Sword Lotus instantly formed.
This was one of her killer moves, yet now used for defense, to fend off the half-step King's attack.
Rumble!
On the ground, a massive blood-colored light cluster expanded fiercely, engulfing everything.
Moments later, the blood-colored light cluster slowly dissipated, leaving behind a tremendously large crater, its interior dark, vegetation withered, turning to ash.
On the edge of this crater, lay a battered flying vessel.
"Junior Sister Ye, are you alright?"
The disheveled green-robed man shouted anxiously.
"I'm fine."
Ye Luofeng spat a mouthful of fresh blood, dyeing her white clothes, her face pale, but her gaze firm, staring into the distance.
"Junior Sister Ye, don't act impulsively, the opponent is a half-step King!"
"We should return to the camp immediately, report this matter, they will definitely dispatch experts to hunt down that Blood Race half-step King!"
The green-robed man noticed Ye Luofeng wanting to go to Chen Yu, advised immediately.
"I really didn't expect Brother Chen would for us, willingly act as bait, to lure away the enemy."
The surviving sharp-mouthed man lowered his head in shame.
Earlier, he even thought about testing Chen Yu's skills.
Yet facing the strike of the half-step King, Chen Yu stood up, and even used himself as bait to lure the half-step King away.
Just this sheer courage left him without place to hide, admiring him deeply.
"Indeed, Junior Sister Ye, let's quickly return to camp, ask Elder Wang of Burning Sword King to act!"
The sharp-mouthed man spoke excitedly.
The fact that several of them survived is already lucky, chasing would be suicidal.
Obviously, they probably couldn't catch up anyway.
Only by returning to camp, seeking the intervention of Human Race great powers, would there be a slight chance of saving Chen Yu.
