Chapter 704: Chapter 372: This is a Child of Fortune, Blood Slave Army_2
"No, it's not necessarily about refining, but about integrating the Imperishable Qi completely into the Divine Soul, endowing the Divine Soul with the characteristic of being imperishable."
"This is both a great disaster and a tremendous opportunity."
Li Xuan was beside himself with excitement. He found a prospect for his fifth disciple and began to organize and perfect the Fifth Door of Martial Arts, adding more profound theories, while he paid attention to Cheng Zhan's narration.
"Born of a concubine, a genius ruined, banished, a discarded child... Isn't he the Child of Destiny? And to think he met me, a highly-skilled individual— isn't this fate?
"The fifth disciple, it's him, Jiang Buping!"
Li Xuan was thrilled within his heart.
Wasn't Jiang Buping a Child of Destiny, both born of a concubine and ruined as a genius, and also a discarded child?
And because of the Imperishable Qi, he became ruined but did not become muddle-headed. This is both a great disaster and a tremendous opportunity.
"The Imperishable Qi in the Divine Soul is probably the result of being plotted against, right?"
Li Xuan muttered to himself.
Jiang Buping has accumulated so many encounters of a Child of Destiny. Now all that's missing is a betrayal by a beloved or perhaps a fiancée.
If he had that, he'd be the absolute archetype of a protagonist.
The thought made Li Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Does he have a fiancée?"
Cheng Zhan was taken aback, but then he hastily nodded and said, "Yes, it is rumored he has a fiancée. However, after being banished, his relationship with his fiancée was severed, and it seems she has someone else in her heart now!"
That's more like it!
Li Xuan nodded and did not speak any further.
The more he looked at Jiang Buping, the more he liked him. This child was sure to achieve greatness!
The Fifth Door of Martial Arts would depend on him to thrive and prosper.
Cheng Zhan, with a thoughtful look, asked, "Senior, do you mean that he might have been sabotaged by his fiancée?"
Li Xuan neither confirmed nor denied it!
Jiang Buping continued to lie unconscious, unaware of when he would awaken.
The attention of everyone shifted from Jiang Buping to Xuezhi Tu and to the crisis currently faced by the Qinghua state.
Boom!
Suddenly, blood-red light soared into the sky ahead, where several Blood Disciples were jointly attacking a large city. This was the third largest city in Qi Yun County, with a True King Heavenly Venerable stationed in it.
However, it was now in grave danger.
"Kill!"
Cheng Zhan roared with anger and charged into battle.
Meanwhile, the other Martial Artists accompanying Cheng Zhan had already dispersed on their way to Qi Yun County to provide support in various directions.
Currently, only Cheng Zhan was on the Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Ship.
The Flying Ship turned into a streak of light and arrived instantly.
Both the Blood Disciples and the True King Heavenly Venerables of Qi Yun County in the midst of battle noticed the massive ship shooting towards them, and they were all astonished. What Divine Artifact was this? Find adventures at m v lem|p-yr
"The rebels must be punished!"
In the midst of Cheng Zhan's thunderous roar, he joined the battle, hammer in hand.
The three hard-pressed True King Heavenly Venerables, upon seeing reinforcements arrive, were immediately heartened and roared as they struck out.
Fang Hao sighed and said, "Divine Realm's great cities are too fragile without City Protection Formation Methods. If it weren't so easy to breach with a Great Formation and strong beings to guard them, how could they be attacked so easily?"
All those on the Flying Ship nodded in agreement, having witnessed the marvels of Formations.
Li Xuan flicked his finger, instantly slaying the Blood Disciples. Without stopping, the Flying Ship continued towards Qi Yun County.
Soon, Cheng Zhan and the two True King Heavenly Venerables came to thank the senior for intervening.
When they learned of an Immortal existence, they were overjoyed, feeling that Qi Yun County had hope at last, finally having a powerful being to contain Xuezhi Tu.
In their eyes, containment was all that was necessary.
After all, Xuezhi Tu was not an ordinary Immortal Heavenly Venerable; his strength was immense, and he was not easily slain.
Even Emperor Da Yue, the Myriad Thunder Sect Master or the Tianwu Clan Master, any one of them would likely find it difficult to slay Xuezhi Tu.
The battle at Qi Yun County continued raging, and at that moment, Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu swallowed the eighth Netherworld Blood Orb and seemed to have reached their limit, unable to recover their expended vital blood any further.
At that very moment, as Feng Yan's body trembled, he looked like a stony strongman and suddenly launched a massive punch. This punch seemed to gather the Domain Power of an entire realm.
Sui Hongwu also hurled his Halberd as if tossing the domain itself into a mighty strike that blasted open a huge gap through the Blood Blades encircling Xuezhi Tu!
```
Boom!
And then, the halberd, struck by Feng Yan's fist seal, fused together with the powerful blow in an instant.
The halberd also shattered at this moment, as if a piece of the heavens and earth had collapsed.
This strike blasted open Xuezhi Tu's blockade and penetrated the surrounding Blood Blades.
Heaven and Earth Laws emerged, the breath of the heavens and earth surged violently, and Qi Yun County collapsed into ruins from the aftershocks of the attack.
The space of heaven and earth where Qi Yun County was located began to shake, as if there was a momentary weakening of the Domain Power.
The Domain Power that was drawn away converged on the strike delivered by Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu.
"Go!"
Two figures seized the opportunity and instantly fled, disheveled and gasping for breath, Sui Hongwu had even lost his Divine Artifact.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Xuezhi Tu walked matter-of-factly, stepping out to give chase.
Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu, panting heavily, looked back with extremely somber expressions, nearly having become nourishment for Xuezhi Tu.
Fortunately, they had managed to deceive Xuezhi Tu, seizing the chance to escape.
Had Xuezhi Tu succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable, not only would the two have lost their lives, but Xuezhi Tu's strength would have increased further, leaving no one in the Qinghua state capable of opposing him!
Once no one could restrain him, the chances of Xuezhi Tu ascending to a Blood Spirit would greatly increase.
"Where will you flee? Even if you two escape, so what?"
Xuezhi Tu pursued relentlessly, with Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu fleeing desperately. Behind them, the sky was filled with bloody light and the ascending qi of Blood Sha.
Unbeknownst to them, an army of Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves had already gathered behind Xuezhi Tu!
Dozens of Blood Disciples, tens of thousands of Blood Slaves, all from the Netherworld Cave in Qi Yun County. The Martial Artists guarding the cave had been slaughtered by Xuezhi Tu, and Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves had entered the Qinghua state.
Now they had all gathered under Xuezhi Tu's command.
"Let's see who can stop me, Xuezhi Tu. The blood sacrifice of Da Yue begins today,"
came the cold voice of Xuezhi Tu.
"You two, either submit to death obediently, with the essence blood of two Immortal Heavenly Venerables, you can save many lives. Or shall I continue my blood sacrifice along the way, would you sacrifice yourselves to save billions of lives?"
The sinister and venomous voice crept into their ears.
Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu's faces were ashen, fists clenched tightly, yet they said nothing and buried their heads in escape, heading towards the Myriad Thunder Sect!
Only by leading people to the Myriad Thunder Sect and having the Myriad Thunder Sect Master restrain Xuezhi Tu.
Emperor Da Yue was already unable to intervene, and Tianwu Sect was too far, leaving only Myriad Thunder Sect as the sole option.
The two worried that Xuezhi Tu would see through their ruse and give up on them, instead choosing to blood sacrifice in the cities of Da Yue.
"You and I have consumed so many Netherworld Blood Orbs, refined our essence blood, and purified our essence blood, and we have yet to fully refine the Netherworld Qi within the Netherworld Blood Orbs.
"Our essence blood is precious to Xuezhi Tu, who will not give us up,"
Feng Yan said in a deep voice.
"Let's hope so!"
Sui Hongwu said through clenched teeth.
The two had no other options, neither daring to flee completely out of fear that Xuezhi Tu would give them up and instead go to blood sacrifice the cities of Da Yue.
Nor did they dare to get too close to Xuezhi Tu, as being caught by him could have unpredictable consequences.
Now, their only bet was that Xuezhi Tu did not know the whereabouts of the Myriad Thunder Sect and was unfamiliar with it, thus following them in pursuit.
As the two madly fled, even as Immortal Heavenly Venerables, after experiencing a fierce battle, especially the strike that had broken through Xuezhi Tu's blockade which had drained them considerably, they felt an exhausting fatigue they hadn't felt in a long time.
Looking back, they saw the sky was bathed in blood-red, with Blood Sha rolling in like a storm.
"Avoid the great cities, absolutely do not pass through the great cities!"
Sui Hongwu said with gritted teeth.
The two started to avoid the routes that led to the great cities, but Xuezhi Tu behind them maintained an ominously complacent smile, as if ignorant of the two's intentions.
Leading the Blood Slave Army, he continued to pursue relentlessly.
"The essence blood of Martial Artists from the Myriad Thunder Sect tastes even more delicious, right? Blood sacrifice a few cities of the Myriad Thunder Sect, blood refine some True Kings, and if it is possible, to combine forces with those from the cave, blood refine the Myriad Thunder Sect Master,"
Xuezhi Tu murmured to himself.
As Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu fled, they suddenly saw a streak of light flying towards them from ahead, which turned out to be a gigantic ship, flying in mid-air, the likes of which they had never seen before.
