Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Zhang Rui, I Have Remembered You

Translator: 549690339

The straw-cloaked man became extremely angry, thinking that the little cultivator he had assumed would be easy to slay had disappeared in an instant.

The duck that should have been within easy grasp slipped away, challenging his authority, he felt.

Worse yet, if the powers behind these geniuses learned of his deeds, they likely wouldn’t let things slide easily!

He must eliminate the roots and all!

The straw-cloaked man’s eyes swirled with murderous intent, a thick stench of blood rushing to the sky as waves of bloody light spread, enveloping the Divine Beast Mountain Range within them.

“Hehe, this is the Thousand-Mile Soul-Searching Technique, within a thousand miles, no matter where the person is, I can instantly find their position,” he said.

“I refuse to believe that a few youngsters could disappear thousands of miles away in an instant!”

The straw-cloaked man cackled coldly and earnestly sensed the situation within the mountain range.

Li Xiaobai had a strange expression, unsure whether this straw-cloaked man was overly confident or foolish, to divulge his trump card so freely.

However, after his explanation, Li Xiaobai felt more at ease.

The Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman did indeed transport one instantly by a thousand miles, and he had given out a pack of talismans, enough for several people to teleport thousands of miles away.

At this moment, his senior brothers and sisters were already out of the straw-cloaked man’s detection range.

As expected, after a careful sensing, the straw-cloaked man was filled with shock and rage.

Within the Divine Beast Mountain Range, he could not sense the presence of the six individuals from before.

“How is this possible, appearing outside the Divine Beast Mountain Range in an instant? What kind of secret technique is this!”

“Boy, what exactly was that talisman just now?”

The straw-cloaked man’s face twisted savagely as he roared in anger.

“Hehe, the Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman, one instant for a thousand miles, just so happens to be one step better than that soul-searching technique of yours,” Li Xiaobai said lightly, stalling for time with his mocking.

Benefiting from a contest with such a formidable opponent was too great, in such a short amount of time, the Blood Pool had once again provided him with a vast number of attribute points.

“Very well, I will take the fragments and the fruit from your corpse. Now, you can die!”

The straw-cloaked man had lost all patience, shaking his hand.

A small blood-colored flag turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, engulfing Li Xiaobai, with overwhelming Blood Qi spreading as blood-colored skeleton soldiers rose from the formation flags, holding blades and halberds, clawing and rushing towards Li Xiaobai.

Li Xiaobai’s gaze sharpened, estimating that he could not withstand this wave of skeleton soldiers; it was time to flee.

With a flick of his wrist, a Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman appeared in his hand.

“Hehe, Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman, one instant for a thousand miles, you deserve to own it!”

“Bye-bye now!”

“Let’s go!”

“Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable, hold him!”

The talisman in his hand blazed fiercely, turning to a pile of ashes, and the anticipated instantaneous movement didn’t occur.

At the same time, a gigantic blood-colored Divine Demon appeared in the void.

The Divine Demon looked fearsome, with eyes as large as copper bells and roiling Blood Qi on its body. Behind it, a dozen writhing tentacles were crazed and bloodthirsty.

Li Xiaobai was startled as the talisman became ineffective. The other had immobilized space with a supreme divine power, rendering the Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman useless!

“Hehe, mere talisman tricks, young one. Did you really think I would make the same mistake twice?”

“This Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable is the transformation of my Primordial Spirit. It’s not just this small patch of space, I can immobilize the entire Divine Beast Mountain Range for a time!”

The straw-cloaked man laughed heartily, feeling immensely satisfied.

The blood-colored figure behind him shook, and a dark red blood-colored tentacle shot out ferociously, piercing Li Xiaobai’s chest almost instantly.

“I…”

Li Xiaobai looked at the bloody hole in his chest in astonishment.

The system panel flickered.

[Attribute Point +5000…]

[Ding! Host detected to be sustaining continuous damage from the Blood Demon Primordial Spirit. Condition is rapidly deteriorating, please escape from danger immediately!]

[Condition: Blood Demon Corrosion (Severe).]

Hiss!

The strike from a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was terrifyingly powerful, easily breaking through the defenses of the Indestructible Golden Body.

Li Xiaobai was utterly shocked, this being the first time he sensed such a threat to his life, as his flesh and blood were continuously corroded by the Blood Demon, with his vitality rapidly dissolving and weakening.

He frantically searched the System’s mall for life-saving Divine Artifacts.

To see if there was anything that could help him!

The mall was replete with various items, and in his frantic search, Li Xiaobai decisively found a treasure.

Damn it, this is the one!

Ancient Heaven-Penetrating Talisman: Activating this talisman breaks through the void, teleporting thousands of miles instantly, allowing control over the timing of the teleportation, ignoring all immobilizing spells. (Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.)

Note: The longer the teleportation time, the farther the distance teleported, with entirely random destination. Although instantaneous movement is great, don’t be greedy!

With determination, he gritted his teeth and bought the Ancient Heaven-Penetrating Talisman.

“Today’s grudge, I, Zhang Rui, will remember!”

“You won’t be arrogant for long, I, Zhang Rui, am a genius once in a millennium. Given time, I will surpass you, and that will be the end of you!”

He flipped his wrist, and the Ancient Heaven-Penetrating Talisman showed its power. Bright golden light dazzled, fragmented space, and forcefully broke through the binding of the Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable.

The talisman turned into specks of light and merged into Li Xiaobai’s body, and he turned into a streak of light, vanishing on the spot without a trace.

“How is this possible!”

“Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable, Blood Demon Primal Brilliance True Resolution!”

“Freeze this moment in time for me!”

“Freeze it…”

An angry roar filled the air, and the Blood Demon Primordial Spirit swelled against the wind, with dozens of blood-red tentacles violently striking at the position where Li Xiaobai had disappeared.

Blood Qi surged, the ground shattered, dust flew, and the terrifying presence of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage swept wildly over the entire Divine Beast Mountain Range.

For a moment, whether it was Demonic Beasts or Human Cultivators, nearly all fell unconscious on the ground at the same time.

Venting his frustration at the site, the straw-cloaked man’s expression calmed down, thinking the opponent’s talisman clearly belonged to a disciple of a major sect, a descendant of a noble lineage, or at the very least, someone with serendipity.

Fortunately, this time there were some clues.

“Zhang Rui, is it? I’ve taken note of you. No matter which sect’s disciple you are, I will skin you alive!”

Madness flickered in the straw-cloaked man’s eyes.

Meanwhile, several streaks of light descended from the sky.

“Master, we have captured three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators; the others escaped, showing some skill.”

“Please punish us, Master!”

The voices of several black-robed figures carried no hint of emotion.

The straw-cloaked man looked down at the three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators captured, who had attempted to flee earlier.

“Master, if you have any questions, this junior will tell you all I know, please spare me!”

The three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators felt a chill run through them under the straw-cloaked man’s gaze and kowtowed desperately.

They were not highly skilled, and a Divinity Transformation Stage old monster who fled along with them had perfectly betrayed them along the way, resulting in the tragic capture of the three by the black-robed figures.

“Hehe, there’s no need for that. I do not wish to ask anything. I prefer to investigate the things I want to know on my own.”

The straw-cloaked man’s palm gently rested on the head of one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

“Blood Demon Soul-Searching!”
