Chapter 701: Chapter 371: Nourished by the Immortal Heavenly Venerable
Outside Xia Shan City, the great battle had ended, and the Mountain True King was dead.
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Buping coughed, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, dripping incessantly as if it would never stop. His flesh was scarred all over, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment.
He turned to glance at Xia Shan City, where people knelt on the ground while some warriors wanted to come out and treat him. Jiang Buping waved his hand dismissively, took a few steps, and disappeared into the distance.
"I can't hold on anymore, I am truly going to die this time.
"Regrettable? Perhaps, but that's how the world works. What can frustration do?
"A castaway of Taikun? Hahaha, it's truly laughable. Would I, Jiang Buping, care about the so-called glory of the Taikun Jiang Clan? Since they have no place for a child of mine, then leaving is just as well!"
Jiang Buping muttered to himself, yet his head kept shaking.
Suddenly, he tore off a piece of flesh from his chest. Agonizing pain followed, which brought his consciousness into sharp focus, slightly reviving his spirit.
He stuffed the torn piece of flesh back into the wound. A force of Divine Spirit Soul permeated the area, fusing the flesh onto the wound.
"Wherever I end up, so be it. If my body collapses, my Divine Soul will merely be driftwood, and how much longer can my consciousness, my clarity, last?"
Jiang Buping smiled at his self-mockery.
He was born with a Divine Soul unlike ordinary people, truly unlike them. Only Jiang Buping knew that he had possessed a Divine Soul from birth!
Wandering aimlessly, Jiang Buping even passed by a silent city, sighing to himself. When would the calamity of the Qinghua state end?
Who could stem the tide and put an end to this disaster?
Xuezhi Tuo, comparable to an Immortal Heavenly Venerable and among the strongest, Qinghua state had no spare Immortal Heavenly Venerables to contend with him.
Unless aid came from beyond.
In a certain part of Da Yue Country, two powerful figures were engaged in furious battle. One, clad in armor and wielding a halberd, seemed to merge with the Domain, as if holding an entire realm in his hands.
The other radiated blood light that pierced the sky, his potent Blood Power intertwining with the Domain. Though slightly less formidable, he was still able to fend off the armored man's assaults.
"Traitor, you deserve death!"
Sui Hongwu's halberd swept across the sky, roaring with hits that forced the master of Blood Shadow Tower to retreat step by step, yet he obstinately withstood the attacks.
"To forsake a good life for servitude in the Netherworld, you traitor!"
Sui Hongwu's eyes reddened with rage. The calamity in Qi Yun County had reached his ears, and to his astonishment, a Blood Disciple had emerged in the Qinghua state.
This was the first time in history that a Netherworld Warrior had become a Blood Disciple through blood sacrifice in the Qinghua state.
If no one intervened, Qi Yun County would become a land of death!
"Forget about heading to Qi Yun County. If you dare leave, I'll blood sacrifice a region. You have only one choice: either confront me or go to Qi Yun County, but I will also blood sacrifice a great city."
The master of Blood Shadow Tower spoke coldly. Read amazing stories on m_vl_em_p_yr
"Haha, truth be told, Lord Xuezhi Tuo aims not only to become a Blood Disciple but also to ascend as a Blood Spirit, and he's already halfway to success.
"What do you think? Are you eager to stop Lord Xuezhi Tuo?
"You could abandon me and try to thwart Lord Xuezhi Tuo, but I can also perform the blood sacrifice to aid in Lord Xuezhi Tuo's ascension to Blood Spirit.
"You can only rage powerlessly here!"
The master of Blood Shadow Tower was insufferably arrogant. Even though he was at a disadvantage, containing Sui Hongwu was not difficult for him.
While Sui Hongwu was undoubtedly stronger, he was not a top-tier Immortal Heavenly Venerable and could not defeat him quickly.
The battle raged on, Sui Hongwu unleashing powerful attacks, causing the Domain to tremble. The Heaven and Earth Laws thundered, but he still couldn't crush the master of Blood Shadow Tower.
He felt a surge of helplessness in his heart.
Just then, an overwhelming aura appeared.
"Sui lad, I'm here to lend you a hand!"
With a thunderous roar, a colossal fist seal tore through the sky and struck the blood light enveloping the master of Blood Shadow Tower.
Splat!
The blood light, entwined with the Domain, was shattered in an instant. Seizing the opportunity, Sui Hongwu thrust his halberd. The master of Blood Shadow Tower hastily defended, but his shoulder was still wounded.
At that moment, his expression changed drastically, and he staggered backwards.
"Feng Yan old brother, your timing is impeccable, let's join forces and kill this traitor!"
Sui Hongwu was overjoyed, finally receiving reinforcements.
A man with silver hair and a white beard who looked middle-aged, with a burly figure and wearing a pair of gauntlets, didn't say another word but instead, with both fists pounding, attacked the master of Blood Shadow Tower.
"In my entire life, I've hated traitors the most; you deserve death!"
The master of Blood Shadow Tower's face turned pale, as facing two opponents put him in danger.
He launched a blade strike, seizing the chance before being encircled, and immediately fled.
"Kill!"
Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu pursued him.
The master of Blood Shadow Tower headed straight for Qi Yun County. Xuezhi Tuo had completed his ascension, and his strength was greater than that of the master within the Immortal Heavenly Venerables. Thus, only by joining forces could he face Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu.
"Brother Feng Yan, I am truly grateful for your aid this time!"
Sui Hongwu expressed his gratitude.
"It's a small matter. The situation in the Nine Mountain Realm has stabilized, so as soon as I received the distress message, I rushed over. Sadly, I was a step too late, and that damned Netherworld rabble has blood sacrificed Qi Yun County City."
Feng Yan spoke with unabated anger.
Three figures, one leading and two following, rushed directly toward Qi Yun County.
In Qi Yun County City, Xuezhi Tuo still stood atop a high building, waiting for Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves to bring the blood of the sacrifice.
