Chapter 1422 - 731: Eternal Life (Part 2)
As they approached, Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath and then stepped forward to appear in front of another Foundation Establishment cultivator. His hand curved into the shape of a snake, locking onto the man, and Yan Xiaobao fiercely headbutted him, his eyes widening in terror.
The rumbling sound could be heard, and then the Foundation Establishment Middle Cultivator screamed, lifting him into the air to block three Blood Swords and two Flying Swords. As for the other incoming swords, they all hit Yan Xiaobao.
Yan Xiaobao trembled slightly but seemed unaffected. In fact, his left hand even reached out to grab the magical Blood Dragon.
When his fingers pressed on it, it shattered. However, almost at the same moment, the besiegers launched another attack. This time, Yang Hongwu released incense, Zhang Yunshan visited with his powerful magic treasures. Song Qu was also in the group.
Yan Xiaobao coldly took a breath and then used the "Mountain Shaking Fist Technique" again. He was like an ancient beast, dodging incoming attacks and blocking Song Qu. Blood spurted from Song Qu’s mouth accompanied by a cry. He was at the peak of the eighth "Tideflow", possessing life-saving magic items, and it was precisely because of these reasons he emerged relatively unscathed. Then, as Bai Xiaochun borrowed the momentum of the "mountain earthquake strike" to speed past him, he was stunned.
"Trying to escape?!" Xiao Qing said, eyes flashing with murderous intent. Just as he was about to follow, Yan Xiaobao suddenly looked up at his shoulder, coldly chuckling.
"Who said anything about running?" Without hesitation, he called the Mountain Shaking Bash again. As Yan Xiaobao shot towards Xiao Qing, the image of the Heavenly Demon roared, Xiao Qing’s face immediately fell. He was very fearful of Yan Xiaobao’s move, especially considering how he could repeatedly use it. He gritted his teeth, considering escape, but too many people blocked his way.
In a sensational moment, more than half of the defenders were forced to stagger back as they collectively dispersed the energy of the attack. Even as the energy disappeared, Yan Xiaobao approached them, and pitiful screams began to ring. By the time Yan Xiaobao disappeared again, another Foundation Establishment cultivator was dead.
Yan Xiaobao was at a distance, blood everywhere, none of which was his own. Although blood seeped at the corner of his mouth, any injuries he suffered had healed.
Despite being slightly out of breath, no one could stop his two consecutive attacks, coupled with his intense murderous aura and the fact that he was now drenched in blood, leaving everyone who saw him stunned.
They didn’t even know how many God’s abilities and spells hit him, not even slowing his steps. His defense was unimaginable. The combined efforts of everyone present not only didn’t force him back but actually allowed him to begin attacking with more power than before!
Of course, this group of cultivators wasn’t accustomed to fighting together, so their united attack wasn’t as strong as imagined. However, it was still something ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t resist.
Nonetheless, Yan Xiaobao not only held his ground but even brought the fight to them. The fear in the hearts of other Dharma Protectors only continued to intensify.
Xiao Qing’s eyes were open, but they still flickered with murderous intention. Even as he coldly watched Yang Hongwu and Zhang Yunshan. The three of them were evidently holding back, as if waiting for something.
Even as the three exchanged a glance, two rays of light suddenly appeared in the distance.
Yan Xiaobao silently lifted his head, dispersing the power he planned to release in another mountain earthquake strike.
It was Song Junwan and Xue Mei, as they stared at Yan Xiaobao, they looked like demonic Gods. Song Junwan’s face was pale, with blood still staining her lips from fighting with Xue Mei. At present, the expression on her face was a mix of confusion and mixed emotions.
Beside her was Xue Mei, her face still stained with blood. A wound was visible on the back of her right hand, from which Blood Qi seeped. Song Junwan caused the wound with the Blood Sword, although the injury seemed small, it made Xue Mei’s cultivation base unstable. Clearly, the battle severely impacted Xue Mei, yet as she stared at Yan Xiaobao, her eyes remained coldly insidious. But then, she bit her teeth and began laughing.
As her laughter echoed, the fourteenth hour was about to end, thus... a feeling appeared in the world that was hard to describe, as if a gigantic hand was pressing down on everything.
Everything halted. Yan Xiaobao shivered. The other Dharma Protectors were locked in place, unable to even think. They now stood frozen like statues.
Only Song Junwan and Xue Mei seemed unaffected, obviously because of their glimmering command medallions.
It seemed boundlessly comparing the two parties, determining who won, who lost. After a while of contemplation, the will seemed unable to decide and gradually dissipated. Meanwhile, something resembling eviction force entwined the fixed cultivators. Clearly, they were about to be expelled from the Bloodline Ancestor. "Time’s up," Xue Mei declared. "Thank Song Junwan for bringing Nightcrypt. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have full confidence in gaining the Bloodline Master title, nor even my ace."
"But now, without the key, no one but me can occupy the Bloodline Master’s position!" As the laughter echoed, she looked at Xiao Qing, Yang Hongwu, and Zhang Yunshan, even revealing a smile on her mask’s surface!
As the eviction force that gripped the three of them vanished, they began to regain the ability to move. Despite their movements being somewhat stiff, they all managed to reveal... only the bloodline master medallion that Song Junwan and Xue Mei should possess!
The bloodline master command medallions they held seemed somewhat faded, like they couldn’t fully match the command medallion Song Junwan and Xue Mei possessed. However, the expression on these three’s faces was the same as before, as if they’d been expecting this.
"I originally planned to join these three teams after the battle for the three keys ended. In that way, I could crush all the Dharma Protectors in one go." Xue Mei laughed again, her eyes emitting chill.
Song Junwan could hardly believe what happened.
"How dare you, Xue Mei!" she cried. "You’re not only cheating, but violating the Flow Sect’s most precious rules!"
She felt a sense of despairing pain. Clearly, she had lost the fight for the Bloodline Master position.
The truth is, even if Nightcrypt hadn’t absorbed all the keys, Xue Mei would still have cheated, still able to delay Song Junwan’s emergence on the "Ancient Blood Road", and still the first to reach the heart chamber.
"Once I become the Bloodline Master, no one will care what’s happening here! Besides, these three command medallions can be used in the Ancient Blood Path, but not to enter the heart chamber!" Xue Mei looked up to the sky, where a vortex appeared, smiling. When it opened, revealing an ancient blood-red path, the rumbling sound could be heard.
The heart chamber was located at the end of that path.
As Xue Mei walked towards the vortex, her figure became faint. As for Xiao Qing, Yang Hongwu, and Zhang Yunshan, they also flew up. As they flew over, each of them glanced at Yan Xiaobao, killing intent flickering in their eyes. Knowing he was no longer significant, they coldly snorted as they approached the vortex.
Song Junwan stood quietly there, fists clenched in anger. She lost. She hadn’t even entered the Ancient Blood Road, but had she done so, Xiao Qing and the others would’ve been able to identify her. Xue Mei controlled everything.
Song Junwan couldn’t accept this situation at all and also flew into the air. Even as she closed within the vortex, a voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"No need to despair, Junwan." Song Junwan trembled, eyes unbelieving. She looked down at all the people exiled from the world gradually disappearing, she saw Nightcrypt opening his eyes. They looked like lightning flashing in the night, lightning that might tear open the heavens. Nightcrypt took a step forward, and then he was beside her.
