Chapter 177: Chapter 58 Chenxiang Flees, Demon Blood Xuan Guang_2

One of the cultivators failed to dodge in time and collided head-on. With a loud "bang," his entire body exploded into a rain of flesh and blood, and as the Blood Light swept over, everything vanished in an instant.

The two cultivators behind him were horrified, freezing in their tracks. Looking up, they saw a red-robed cultivator standing ahead, gazing coldly at them. His expression was dark and terrifying.

A powerful sense of danger overwhelmed the pair, and with a cry, they simultaneously brought forth their Dharma Treasures. A Flying Sword and a white stone ascended into the air together, rushing toward the red-robed cultivator.

Li Weide’s eyes gleamed with disdain. With arms crossed, he floated motionless as a blood-colored Xuan Guang emanated from him. With a single horizontal sweep, it enveloped both cultivators and their Dharma Treasures, crushing and consuming their flesh and blood completely, leaving no trace behind.

This is the terrifying power of the Xuan Guang Practitioners! Against Ming Qi Stage disciples, if you don’t possess a superior Dharma Treasure for protection, a single sweep of Xuan Guang means death and obliteration of the spirit!

Fang Zhen watched in utter horror. Although he could summon back his Divine Weapon Circle, the opponent wouldn’t give him the chance. Realizing this, he decisively abandoned the thought and turned to flee.

Li Weide’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint. He raised his hand and pointed forward, unleashing a blood-red streak from his fingertip. With a "hiss," it pierced into Fang Zhen’s back.

Fang Zhen stumbled forward but managed to remain unscathed, continuing to escape.

Li Weide’s eyes flickered with intrigue. He sneered, saying, "Do you think a Treasure Armor will be enough to protect you?"

Without moving, two massive blood-red hands, each ten feet wide and surrounded by dense blood energy, emerged above his head. In a blink, they extended over twenty feet forward and seized Fang Zhen like a rag doll.

One blood-red hand grasped his head while the other gripped his legs, lifting him up. With a violent tear, Fang Zhen cried out in agony, ripped into two pieces while a strand of his Primordial Spirit floated free.

The Blood Light surged upward as Li Weide attempted to absorb the Primordial Spirit. But suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes. A burst of bright light emerged from Fang Zhen’s Primordial Spirit, shielding it. The light broke through the blood-red hands and darted into a nearby water column, disappearing instantly.

The fallen Divine Weapon Circle leapt up as if alive, flying away to follow.

Li Weide frowned, realizing this person must have been protected by a Great Power Expert, preventing his Primordial Spirit from being exterminated. But since the escape was successful, he chose not to dwell on it, shifting his gaze to Liu Tao and Cheng An.

Liu Tao had been wielding the Sea Sweeping Tablet, suppressing several Blood Essence Sect disciples to the ground, when he suddenly felt an overwhelming and dangerous pressure enveloping him.

He had witnessed Fang Zhen’s gruesome fate earlier and knew there was no escape. With a helpless sigh, he turned away from the approaching Li Weide and instead glanced toward the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat. He noticed a blue light streaking toward it and immediately felt relief.

As heavy blood-scented air surged forward, a sweep of Blood Light engulfed him, consuming him entirely. Another sweep of blood-colored Xuan Guang enveloped Cheng An, and Li Weide continued onward, rushing toward the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat.

In just a dozen breaths, apart from the fleeing Xie Zongyuan and Feng Ming, all the Mingcang Sect disciples attempting to escape the Demon Cave were exterminated by him.

With a flash of blue light, Zhang Yan appeared on the deck of the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat, his gaze calm and steady. He took in everything clearly, sighed softly, then turned to Mrs. Chen, who looked visibly anxious, and said, "Mrs. Chen, go!"

Seeing Zhang Yan’s composed demeanor, Mrs. Chen felt a renewed sense of determination. Due to her low cultivation, she had been tasked with piloting the flying boat and had refrained from joining the fight. Furthermore, unable to locate her husband, she had decided against attempting an escape and thus remained in the boat, now surviving as a result.

Upon hearing Zhang Yan’s command, she swiftly waved a talisman, and with a thunderous roar, the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat accelerated.

Li Weide pursued relentlessly. As he saw the flying boat gaining speed, his eyes gleamed fiercely, and he waved his robe sleeve forward, releasing two streaks of blood-red light.

The two streaks moved with astonishing speed. Zhang Yan managed to sidestep in time, but Mrs. Chen was unable to evade. With a "pfft," the Blood Light pierced her chest, and she cried out, collapsing to the ground and dropping the talisman she held. The Blood Light descended upon her, consuming her flesh and Essence entirely.

The blood streak targeting Zhang Yan abruptly turned in midair, redirecting toward him again. With no time for other moves, he hurled an object upward, revealing a shield with wings that blocked the attack.

With a "crack," the shield shattered, and the blood streak dissipated into faint blood vapor.

Zhang Yan stepped forward and grabbed the talisman Mrs. Chen had dropped. Activating it instantly, he regained control of the Dragon Tooth Flying Boat, which had slowed without a rider, accelerating it anew.

Sensing the crisis was far from over, Zhang Yan wasted no time. He took out the Harmony Carrying Pure Cover and cast it above himself, enveloping him in radiant light.

As expected, the blood streak that had consumed Mrs. Chen suddenly lunged upward, colliding head-on with the light barrier.

The emanating glow was exceptionally solid, deflecting all attempts by the blood streak to penetrate. Standing safely within, Zhang Yan remained unmoved. He looked ahead and saw Li Weide still in pursuit. Coldly laughing, he activated the talisman repeatedly, accelerating the boat to greater speeds. Li Weide watched helplessly as Zhang Yan flew farther into the distance, finally halting as the boat became a faint speck in the horizon. Glaring coldly, he uttered in a sinister voice, "Weimin, rest assured, even if I must chase him to the ends of the earth, I will kill him and avenge you!"
