Chapter 222 - War Blood Demon

A drop of fresh blood, carrying endless evil qi, materialized in the air.

As if controlled by a Blood Hand, it swayed gently and whispered incessantly, causing the blood to spread quickly and form a sinister pattern.

“Blood Demon, rise!”

A deep shout echoed through the air, vibrating the void with a buzzing sound.

The pattern in midair blazed with light, casting a dazzling red glow.

Next, a blood-red arm reached out, resembling a demon returning from hell.

Finally, a ferocious Blood Demon appeared before Lin Xuan.

The Blood Demon’s shape was human-like, but it had four arms and a single horn atop its head, with blood dripping from all over its body.

From a distance, Ru Xue’s red lips parted slightly, emitting strange sonic waves.

Buzz!

The Blood Demon suddenly sprung into action, charging at Lin Xuan, waving its four arms to create a sky filled with fist shadows.

Lin Xuan punched out, his strike akin to thunder suddenly appearing.

Terrifying energy smashed into the Blood Demon’s body, causing ripples to spread.

A hole the size of a bowl appeared in its body, but most of Lin Xuan’s punch was absorbed by a flowing liquid on the Blood Demon’s body.

And the hole was healing quickly.

Not only that, the Blood Demon’s greatest trait was that it did not fear pain.

“An absolute killing machine!”

Roar!

The Blood Demon roared lowly, its four arms forming different shapes to launch a massive attack.

Boom!

Bang!

Clang!

Lin Xuan struck with all his might, continuously clashing with the Blood Demon, sending fearsome energy in all directions.

For a moment, the two were deadlocked.

“Hehe!

I will take your head!” Ru Xue laughed wickedly from behind.

“Hmph!

The Purple Extreme Demon Palace is nothing special!” Lin Xuan scoffed.

“Lightning Storm!”

Golden lightning surged, the wind howled fiercely, thunder roared and lightning flashed.

The Blood Demon screamed as it was struck by the thunder, emitting a pitiful cry.

Hiss!

Like cold ice meeting fierce fire, continuously melting, the Blood Demon’s body under the influence of the golden lightning, began to show terrifying wounds.

Swoosh!

The Blood Demon retreated, standing next to Ru Xue.

“Impossible, my Blood Demon does not fear ordinary thunder!” Ru Xue said, her face darkening with a look of wariness toward the golden arcs.

“Damaging my Blood Demon, I will make you die!”

“I’ve killed quite a few disciples of the Purple Extreme Demon Palace already, one more makes no difference!” Lin Xuan retorted, “Come at me with all you’ve got.”

“What!

You dare kill my Demon Palace disciples!” Ru Xue’s pupils shrunk, “I’ll drink your blood, eat your flesh, and cast you into eternal hell!”

“Merge!” Her body flickered, turning into a cloud of Blood Mist, fusing with the Blood Demon’s body.

Buzz!

Buzz!

In an instant, two points of cold Han Mang appeared in the eyes of the Blood Demon, which seemed unusually spirited.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The Blood Demon shook its body, and the wounds caused by the golden lightning quickly healed.

Not only that, but its aura also grew much stronger, nearly reaching the level of Spirit Sea Seventh Layer.

“Now I will no longer fear your golden lightning, just die obediently!” Ru Xue sneered, her body turning into a blood-colored shadow.

Swoosh!

In an instant, she appeared before Lin Xuan, her four arms moving swiftly, enveloping Lin Xuan entirely with a frightening assault.

Rumble—

Golden thunder emerged, transforming into a Thunder Beast, baring its fangs and claws.

“Useless!” Ru Xue laughed loudly, clenching her fists and smashing them into the Thunder Beast, scattering it.

Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed, his eyes gradually grew sharp.

The next moment, a light of Sword Intent shone.

Like a startled swan tracing through the air, it drew a sinister arc.

Agh!

Ru Xue screamed, retreating in horror.

“This is…

Sword Intent!”

“Damn it, you’re a Sword Cultivator!” A terrifying Sword Mark appeared on his chest, nearly splitting him in twain.

“End it now!” Lin Xuan’s Sword Intent continued to climb, and the dragon-shaped mark within him glowed with a dragon head roaring.

Swoosh!

A longsword strike cut through the air as if accompanied by the sound of a Dragon Roar.

The sword light was so fast it reached its peak in an instant, enveloping the creature in a blood hue.

Pffft pffft pffft!

Sword lights appeared from all directions, their lethality unparalleled.

Three of the blood creature’s four arms broke, and its chest was hit once again.

“No, I don’t want to die!

Blood Demon Disintegration Technique!” the blood creature cried out in terror.

The Blood Demon exploded, turning into thousands of blood threads that scattered in every direction.

Many drilled into the ground and the rock walls, disappearing from sight.

Lin Xuan didn’t attack again; that last sword strike had grievously wounded his opponent, who probably wouldn’t be able to fight again for half a year.

He sheathed his longsword and continued forward.

Suddenly, a rapid whooshing sound came from behind.

Lin Xuan stopped and turned to look.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two figures landed, Jiang Ruyue and a short old man.

The short old man looked around at the sword marks, taking in the residual aura in the air, and said in a deep voice, “Such a fierce Sword Intent!”

“Hmph, you big liar!” Jiang Ruyue huffed.

“I’m not a liar.” Lin Xuan touched his chin and said with a grin.

“Who would have thought that the young friend is also a Sword Cultivator.

Truly formidable youth!” The short old man admired Lin Xuan.

“You flatter me,” Lin Xuan said with a smile, “It’s dangerous ahead—how about we go together?”

He could tell that the short old man had no ill intent, and Lin Xuan sensed Jiang Ruyue’s identity was no simple matter—after all, not just anyone could casually produce a Spirit Fruit to feed a monkey!

“That sounds good,” the old man chuckled.

Jiang Ruyue pouted, looking visibly upset.

The three of them quickly moved on and finally arrived at the end.

In front of them was a heavy wall, blocking their path.

“Could it be a dead end?” The short old man wondered aloud.

Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered, carefully inspecting the area; he noticed the wall was uncommonly thick.

Swoosh!

He picked up the Snow White Monkey and pinched its face.

“What do we do now that there’s no path?”

The Snow White Monkey’s face was pinched out of shape, and it grumbled dissatisfiedly before hopping into Jiang Ruyue’s arms.

Chatter, gesture, chatter!

The monkey made some gestures.

“What’s it saying?” Jiang Ruyue asked, holding the monkey.

“It says it’s right behind this wall,” Lin Xuan shrugged.

Then, the three started to search meticulously, with the short old man and Lin Xuan even starting to bombard the wall.

However, they did not dare to exert too much force.

If they ended up breaking the tunnel, they would be done for!

“Could there be a mechanism?” Lin Xuan pondered.

“There’s no mechanism.

Let’s go around,” Lord of Wine transmitted his voice.

“Go around?” Lin Xuan was puzzled.

“You know about moles,” Lord of Wine said, without further elaboration.

Lin Xuan’s mouth twitched and he forced a smile, “How about we dig a tunnel?”

In the other two passages, everyone was attacked by underground creatures.

The passage to the left was filled with countless Fire Lizards, while the one to the right was plagued by Fire Scorpions.

All things considered, Lin Xuan’s passage was the safest.

Yet, after a fierce battle, the Martial Artists on both sides broke through their respective passages.

A vast Underground World appeared before everyone’s eyes with lava trenches and bizarrely shaped rocks, and bursts of heat waves emerged from time to time.

In the center was a massive pool of Molten Lava, constantly bubbling and radiating intense heat.

And in the middle of the lava, there was a huge rock with a fiery red plant growing on it.

On top of that was a fist-sized Spirit Fruit, bursting with colorful radiance.
