Chapter 701: Chapter 371: Using the Immortal Heavenly Venerable as Nourishment

“`

Outside Xia Shan City, the great battle had ended, and the Mountain True King was dead.

“Cough, cough…”

Jiang Buping coughed, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, drop by drop, seemingly unable to stop. His body was covered in wounds, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

He glanced back at Xia Shan City, where people knelt on the ground, and more martial artists wanted to come out to heal him. Jiang Buping waved his hand, took a few steps, and disappeared into the distance.

“I can’t hold on anymore; this time, I’m really going to die.

“Unwilling? Maybe, but that’s how the world is. What can unwillingness do?

“Taikun’s discarded son? Hahaha, truly laughable. How could I, Jiang Buping, care about the so-called glory of the Taikun Jiang Clan? If there’s no place for me, a mere son, then I’ll just leave!”

Jiang Buping murmured to himself, yet he continuously shook his head.

Suddenly, he tore a piece of flesh from his chest. The severe pain concentrated his consciousness, revitalizing his spirit a bit.

He stuffed the torn flesh back into the wound, where a surge of divine soul force spread, melding the flesh back into the wound.

“I’ll go wherever fate takes me. My body is crumbling, and the divine soul is like a floating weed. Moreover, for how long can my consciousness, my clarity, last?”

Jiang Buping laughed at himself.

Born with a divine soul unlike any other, how could it merely be unusual? Only Jiang Buping knew he was born with a divine soul!

Wandering aimlessly, Jiang Buping even passed through a lifeless city, sighing in his heart. When would the disaster of the Qinghua state end?

Who could turn the tides and end this great calamity?

Xuezhi Tu, comparable to an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, with a power that was exceptionally strong even among Immortal Heavenly Venerables, there was no extra Immortal Heavenly Venerable in Qinghua state to deal with him.

Unless assistance came from beyond.

In a certain place within Da Yue Country, two powerful figures were in a fierce battle. One wore armor and wielded a halberd, seemingly merging with the domain, as if holding a domain in his hand.

The other, a towering blood light, wielded powerful blood power that intertwined with the domain, and although slightly weaker, was enough to resist the attacks of the armored man.

“Rebel, you deserve to die!”

Sui Hongwu’s halberd struck the void, roaring as he continually attacked, forcing the Blood Shadow Tower Master to step back but still resist tenaciously.

“Why be a decent person when you can be a dog for the Netherworld, you traitor!”

Sui Hongwu’s eyes turned red with anger. The great calamity of Qi Yun County had already reached his ears. What shocked him even more was that a Xuezhi was born in the Qinghua state.

This was the first time in history that a Netherworld Warrior in Qinghua state, after a blood sacrifice, advanced to become a Xuezhi.

If no one intervened, Qi Yun County would likely become a dead land!

“If you want to go to Qi Yun County, give up. If you dare to leave, I’ll blood sacrifice an entire domain. You have only one choice: either confront me, or go to Qi Yun County, but I’ll blood sacrifice the Blood Sacrifice Great City as well.”

The Blood Shadow Tower Master said coldly.

“Haha, to tell you the truth, Lord Xuezhi Tu, not only aims to become a Xuezhi but also to advance to a Blood Spirit, and is already halfway there.

“What’s the matter? Can’t wait to stop Lord Xuezhi Tu?

“You can leave me to restrain Lord Xuezhi Tu, but I can also complete the blood sacrifice for Lord Xuezhi Tu, assisting him in advancing to Blood Spirit.

“You can only rage helplessly here!”

The Blood Shadow Tower Master arrogantly taunted. Even though he was at a disadvantage, restraining Sui Hongwu wasn’t difficult.

While Sui Hongwu was indeed stronger, he wasn’t a top-tier Immortal Heavenly Venerable and couldn’t defeat him in a short time.

The battle continued, with Sui Hongwu relentlessly unleashing powerful attacks, shaking the domain. Heaven and Earth Laws roared, yet he couldn’t break the Blood Shadow Tower Master.

A sense of powerlessness surged within him.

Just then, a powerful aura appeared.

“Sui kid, let me lend you a hand!”

With this loud shout, a massive fist imprint crossed the sky, striking the blood light surrounding the Blood Shadow Tower Master.

Slap!

The blood light intertwined with the domain was instantly shattered, and Sui Hongwu seized the moment, thrusting his halberd. With a squelch, the Blood Shadow Tower Master hastily blocked it but was still struck on the shoulder.

His expression changed drastically, his figure swaying as he retreated.

“Brother Feng Yan, you’re just in time, let’s join forces to kill this rebel!”

Sui Hongwu was overjoyed, external aid had finally arrived.

A silver-haired, white-bearded man with a middle-aged appearance, burly stature, wearing a pair of fist gloves, said nothing and attacked the Blood Shadow Tower Master with both fists.

“My whole life, I hate traitors the most, you deserve to die!”

The Blood Shadow Tower Master’s face changed drastically. Fighting against both, he was in danger.

He slashed out, seizing the moment before being surrounded, and fled directly.

“Kill!”

Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu gave chase.

The Blood Shadow Tower Master fled straight towards Qi Yun County; with Xuezhi Tu having completed his advancement, his strength among Immortal Heavenly Venerables was stronger than his, so only by teaming up could they deal with Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu.

“Brother Feng Yan, thanks to you for coming to help this time!”

Sui Hongwu said gratefully.

“A trifling matter, the current situation in the Nine Mountain Realm has stabilized. Upon receiving the call for help, I rushed over, but unfortunately, I was a step too late, allowing the damned Netherworld to blood sacrifice Qi Yun County City.”

Feng Yan said angrily.

Three figures, one ahead and two behind, headed straight for Qi Yun County.

In Qi Yun County City, Xuezhi Tu still stood atop the high building, waiting for the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves to deliver the blood for the sacrifice.
