Daoist Competition-Chapter 159 - 49: Yin Demon Rampage, Slaying Blood Essence (Part 2)

The two cultivators from the Blood Essence Sect had already revealed quite a bit of information in their conversation. The male cultivator’s Blood Essence seemed to have been destroyed by Fang Zhen, while the female cultivator’s strength remained intact. If action were to be taken, the priority must be to kill the latter first.

Zhang Yan calculated the positions of himself and the two cultivators. Though his intent to kill grew increasingly intense, his expression became even calmer. He resolved that if he acted, even if he couldn’t kill one person outright, he must severely injure them, or else the situation would become highly disadvantageous.

After sitting silently for a moment, he turned invisibly and noiselessly. A drop of Yin You Heavy Water emerged from the crown of his head and abruptly darted toward the male cultivator. This move wasn’t aimed to succeed but to merely distract the man, while Zhang Yan’s full attention was focused on the female cultivator.

The male cultivator was speaking enthusiastically when he suddenly caught sight of a streak of black light flying toward him in the corner of his eye. Startled, he instinctively raised the gourd in his hand to block. With a resounding "bang," an overwhelming force like an avalanche surged through his arm, causing his chest to tighten as he was knocked off the rock he was standing on.

The drop of You Yin Heavy Water, although seemingly small, was incredibly heavy, and the male cultivator had clearly not been prepared. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Almost simultaneously, a blue streak of sword light slashed rapidly at the female cultivator’s neck. She reacted quickly; realizing the danger, she slid her foot, allowing her body to fall downward. At that moment, her instincts screamed an alert. Seeing another green beam shooting from the side at alarming speed, she was so frightened that she almost screamed aloud. Just as the beam was about to sever her head, she twisted her waist sharply mid-air, rolling to avoid the fatal blow. However, one of her arms was severed by the sharp blade of the Ruyi Divine Shuttle, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The female cultivator let out a miserable cry, enduring the pain with her remaining hand as she reached for her pale abdomen. Pulling out a plug from her navel, a blood-colored figure separated from her body. After hovering briefly in the air, it charged straight toward Zhang Yan’s hiding spot.

Zhang Yan had already left his previous hiding place. His figure flickered faintly through the mist as he watched the blood-colored shadow approach. He raised his hand and summoned back the Star Sword Ball while simultaneously driving the Ruyi Divine Shuttle to strike again at the female cultivator’s neck.

However, after the previous exchange, the situation was no longer so simple. The female cultivator paused mid-air, spun rapidly, her swirling skirt resembling a wheel, revealing two long, fair legs. The pointed brocade shoes on her feet, seemingly a treasure, struck repeatedly, creating ringing sounds that effectively blocked the advance of the Ruyi Divine Shuttle.

Zhang Yan, meanwhile, faced the encroaching Blood Essence. He formed a spell with his fingers, and the sword ball swirled in the air before slicing downward. To his surprise, the attack went completely through the Blood Essence without causing any harm. The shadow continued charging at him undeterred.

Zhang Yan’s gaze sharpened; it was apparent that this Blood Essence had been refined for a long time, its blood energy appearing real yet illusory. It was far superior to mindless Yin Demons. His sword ball, still lacking Xuan Guang refinement, was ineffective against such an incorporeal entity.

Seeing the Blood Essence edging closer, Zhang Yan hurriedly floated backward to evade.

The female cultivator noticed this and her confidence surged. She kicked the Ruyi Divine Shuttle once more, calling out, "Senior Brother, join forces with me to kill this man. We’ll split his Essence evenly between us."

These exchanges happened at breakneck speed, executed within mere moments. By now, the male cultivator had recovered, though his complexion was pale. Hearing the female cultivator’s call, he responded, chanting under his breath as he shook the gourd in his hand. From it, a dark green gas billowed forth, emitting a sharp, unpleasant odor as it rushed toward Zhang Yan’s position.

The female cultivator urged her Blood Essence forward as well, attempting to attack Zhang Yan together.

Zhang Yan’s face broke into a cold sneer. His retreating figure halted abruptly, and a Cloud Pattern Red Pen appeared in his hand. He tossed it toward the incoming Blood Essence and commanded, "Go!"

As if sensing the Qi Mechanism, the Proclamation Pen flared with Three Qi at its tip. With just a stroke on the Blood Essence, its once-dense color began to fade, and its previously erratic movements slowed, losing their agility.

The Blood Essence was linked to the female cultivator’s Divine Soul. Its sudden injury caused her face to pale as she staggered backward a few steps, clutching her chest desperately while hurriedly forming spells to attempt to recall the Blood Essence. Meanwhile, on the other side, the male cultivator was also frantically pushing the gas mass forward, trying to stop Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan wouldn’t let the Blood Essence escape so easily. With a cold smirk, he disregarded the dark green cloud above him and wielded the Proclamation Pen to brush another stroke. Instantly, the Essence Qi within the Blood Essence was wiped clean, dispersing entirely into the air.
