Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 87 - 86: The Battle of Exterminating Demons (Part 2)
Chapter 87: Chapter 86: The Battle of Exterminating Demons (Part 2)
In the sky, the battlefield of three Purple Mansion Stage cultivators.
The previous clash between the green-red firebird and the overwhelming tide of blood had ended, and unsurprisingly, it concluded with the retreat of Zhang Yunpeng and the Chen Family Ancestor’s side.
After this confrontation, the two realized that relying on ordinary means was impossible to defeat the Blood Mo Luo, so after a slight hesitation, the Chen Family Ancestor directly brought out his trump card talisman treasure.
The talisman treasure manifested into a magical artifact in the form of a purple treasure mirror. The mirror light from this purple treasure mirror was extremely mysterious, whether it was an ethereal magic attack or a magical artifact assault, its power would be inexplicably weakened by several levels when shone upon by the mirror light.
With the assistance of the mystical light of the treasure mirror, the Chen Family Ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng quickly turned their disadvantage around, even forcing the Blood Mo Luo to reveal his second trump card.
The Blood Mo Luo’s second trump card was a Blood Evil Demon Corpse, refined from the complete corpse of a Tier Four Lower Grade tiger-type demon beast by a Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator of their Blood Slaughter Demon Sect.
A Tier Four demon beast has the ability to fly in the sky, and so naturally does a Tier Four Demon Corpse.
After being refined by a human Golden Core Cultivator, the Tier Four Blood Evil Demon Corpse not only had a formidable physical body comparable to magical artifacts of the same tier, but it had also combined the divine techniques it knew in life with demonic corpse refining divine techniques to produce several incredibly strange and powerful divine techniques.
Relying on these enigmatic divine techniques, plus the Blood Evil Demon Corpse’s painlessness and fearless fighting style, the advantage the Chen Family Ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng barely regained fell into passivity once more.
Zhang Yunpeng tried several times to use the Tier Four High-Grade Thunder Talisman in his hand to reverse the disadvantage, but in the end, he held back because he couldn’t find the right opportunity.
After all, Blood Mo Luo hailed from a major Demon Sect as a Purple Mansion Cultivator; who knows besides the Tier Five Spiritual Artifact and Tier Four Demon Corpse, what other defensive trump cards he might possess?
If he uses the Thunder Talisman but fails to decide the battle with one blow, the outcome of today’s fight would be in jeopardy.
It was under these circumstances that Chen Ping’an boldly joined the battle among the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators with his sword.
"Ancestor, Elder Zhang, leave this demon corpse to me!"
The silver-white sword light cut through the air, instantly carving a deep wound on that demon corpse, but what oozed from the wound was not blood, but wisps of pitch-black corpse qi. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Roar!
The demon corpse, suddenly ambushed, had its ferocity instantly awakened, abandoning Zhang Yunpeng who had been eluding it, and howled angrily as it pounced towards Chen Ping’an.
"Ping’an, you..."
The Chen Family Ancestor was shocked and dismayed, looking towards Chen Ping’an with a face full of worry.
Although Chen Ping’an had extraordinary strength, fighting across levels was no easy task.
If anything were to happen to him, even killing the Blood Mo Luo today would not compensate for the Chen Family’s loss.
"Brother Chen, do not be distracted. Fellow Daoist Ping’an dares to intervene in our fight, he must have some assurance of self-preservation. We just need to quickly resolve this demon, and the crisis on Fellow Daoist Ping’an’s side will naturally dissolve!"
Zhang Yunpeng, seeing the Chen Family Ancestor distracted, couldn’t help but anxiously transmit the message outlining the seriousness of the situation. At this time, being distracted is akin to hastening defeat!
The Chen Family Ancestor, hearing this, suddenly realized the impropriety of his earlier actions, yet he didn’t say anything apologetic. Instead, he hardened his expression, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said, "Fine, I will burn the complete power of the talisman treasure to immobilize this demon. It’s all on you, Brother Zhang!"
After speaking, he unexpectedly opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood directly onto the purple treasure mirror, using the essence blood to activate the full power of the treasure mirror.
The purple treasure mirror, nourished by the essence blood of a Late-Stage Purple Mansion cultivator, instantly radiated a surge of purple light, directly projecting a dense, ink-like deep purple beam of light towards the Blood Mo Luo.
All this, though it seems lengthy to narrate, in actuality, from the moment Chen Ping’an intervened in the battle, to the Chen Family Ancestor disregarding the loss of the talisman treasure and stimulating its full power with essence blood, only took mere tens of breaths.
Within this brief span, not even the Blood Mo Luo had anticipated that Chen Ping’an’s involvement would compel the Chen Family Ancestor to make such a costly decision.
Thus, when the dense, ink-like deep purple beam of light burst from the treasure mirror, the Blood Mo Luo, sensing something wrong, only had time to wave his blood banner to release a blood-colored shield around himself before the deep purple beam struck his body.
"My cultivation level!"
An exclamation suddenly erupted from the Blood Mo Luo’s mouth, his voice brimming with astonishment and terror, unable to maintain the previously calm demeanor on his face.
It turned out that when the purple beam touched him, his Ninth-Layer of the Purple Mansion cultivation aura immediately fell two layers to the Seventh-Layer, and his body became as if mired in a swamp, unable to move a bit, fixed in place.
Although this drop in cultivation level and loss of control were only temporary, it still terrified him to the point of soul-scattering.
Yet the more astonishing events were yet to follow for him.
After the Chen Family Ancestor suddenly displayed his power to immobilize the Blood Mo Luo, Zhang Yunpeng, having heard his voice transmission a step earlier, decisively unleashed the Tier Four High-Grade Thunder Talisman in his hand.
This Tier Four High-Grade Thunder Talisman, named "Celestial Spirit Divine Thunder Talisman," was drawn by a Late-Stage Purple Mansion cultivator of the Yellow Sand Sect who practiced Thunder Element techniques hundreds of years ago. Zhang Yunpeng spent nearly twenty thousand sect merit points, almost all his savings at the time, to exchange for this Thunder Talisman.
At this moment, as he unleashed the Thunder Talisman, the previously clear sky suddenly manifested a mass of dark clouds spanning several acres. Then, a rumbling thunderous sound emerged from the clouds, and instantly, a silver-white lightning bolt as thick as a water barrel struck directly down toward the Blood Mo Luo below.
"No!"
A scream filled with terror and despair echoed across the sky. The Blood Mo Luo, who had previously been shrouded in demonic flames and invincible, was now as terrified and despairing as a violated young girl!
Rumble——
The earth-shattering explosion resounded in the sky over the Desert Sea. The intense lightning illuminated the heavens like the midday sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Is it dead?
Zhang Yunpeng and the Chen Family Ancestor used their magical power to protect their eyes, staring intently at the area where the lightning flashed, their anxiety reaching its peak.
A moment later, as the lightning dissipated, the result finally appeared before the two of them.
Amid the dissipating lightning, the figure of the Blood Mo Luo remained standing tenaciously. Although his body was now covered in scales, all bearing the marks of being scorched by lightning, and his aura had nearly dropped out of the Purple Mansion Stage, he was indeed still alive.
Even this didn’t kill him!
Zhang Yunpeng looked at this scene with a dazed expression, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.
The "Celestial Spirit Divine Thunder Talisman" he had exchanged for with twenty thousand sect merit points did not fully accomplish its task, greatly impacting him.
It should be known that within the Yellow Sand Sect, exchanging for a Foundation Establishment Pill only required ten thousand merit points, meaning that just now, he had essentially thrown away two pills.
The Chen Family Ancestor’s face was no better. In terms of value, the Treasure Talisman he used was no less valuable than the "Celestial Spirit Divine Thunder Talisman", not to mention he had just expended nearly ten percent of his essence blood to activate its power.
"Cough cough cough, you two bastards, do you know what you just did? You caused me to lose a Substitute Blood Puppet, a Substitute Treasure that cannot be exchanged for a Tier Five Spiritual Artifact!"
"Just you wait, wait for me to recover, and I will surely massacre your sect and your families, I will refine you into Blood Corpses, and make you kill all your friends and family, kill everyone!"
...
The hysterical, venomous roar suddenly erupted from the mouth of the Blood Mo Luo. Glaring with bloodshot eyes, he venomously scanned Chen Family Ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng as if to imprint their appearances deeply in his heart.
Then, before the two could react, he swiftly opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of essence blood, instantly performing the "Blood Escape Technique" and vanished from the spot, even abandoning the Tier Four Demon Corpse that was fighting Chen Ping’an.
Oh no!
Seeing the Blood Mo Luo transform into a blood light and disappear before their eyes, the belatedly aware Chen Family Ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng suddenly realized the dire situation.
The words that Blood Mo Luo shouted earlier were heard clearly by both, and no one dared not to take them to heart.
Demonic cultivators are notorious for seeking vengeance, and since Blood Mo Luo uttered such harsh words, he would absolutely carry them out.
If he were allowed to escape today, they would be on edge forever, always worrying about his revenge.
Moreover, a demonic cultivator with a cultivation level higher than theirs seeking revenge by any means would be difficult for them to fend off, and even Golden Core Stage cultivators would have a headache.
"Chase him, we must catch up with him, we absolutely can’t let him escape!"
The Chen Family Ancestor’s expression was so dark it seemed it could drip water, his gaze icy as he looked in the direction where the blood light vanished, immediately darting off on his sword light in pursuit.
Zhang Yunpeng, seeing this, shook his head with a sigh, feeling so distressed he wanted to vomit blood.
Compared to the Chen Family Ancestor’s large family and great business, he, being all alone, wasn’t very afraid of Blood Mo Luo’s revenge; he was just heartbroken over the loss of the "Celestial Spirit Divine Thunder Talisman".
That was the treasure he had exchanged for with his entire fortune, and there wasn’t a second one in the entire Yellow Sand Sect.
He sighed heavily and said, "Brother Chen’s pursuit is likely to be fruitless. The demonic Blood Escape Technique is renowned worldwide, if it were so easily caught, where would it get such a great reputation? I’ll first help these juniors kill that Tier Four Demon Corpse, then it’s not too late to look for him!"
With that, he moved his figure, heading directly toward the Tier Four Demon Corpse fighting with Chen Ping’an.
Meanwhile, the Zhou Family trio, who had chased the sand bandits several hundred miles away from the battlefield, finally killed their target.
In order to kill this sand bandit, full of treasures, the Zhou Family trio had put in a lot of effort, and Zhouyang even used the "Qianyang True Flame" in the end.
But no matter how careful they were, they couldn’t save the two precious Tier Three Puppet Beasts.
Before dying, the sand bandit had specifically issued a self-destruct command to the Puppet Beasts, causing the two precious Tier Three Puppet Beasts to self-destruct into scraps under the watchful eyes of the Zhou Family trio.
