Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 438 Broken Knife
The so-called "soldier rogue" is someone who can be passionate and charge into battle, but once he realizes the situation is going badly and he's likely to lose, he won't hesitate to abandon the game, discard his armor and weapons, disconnect from the internet, and flee the battlefield without looking back.

"Brother, if we just run away halfway, won't Master Chen blame us later?"

"Damn it! Didn't you say that if we couldn't break through, we should run away first? Wouldn't Master Chen blame us?!"

"Uh, I'm just making a suggestion. I've always followed my elder brother's lead without question."

"Damn it! They're blaming me again!"

"Ah, there's light..."

"Huh? Wow, what a huge mushroom cloud..."

"You two idiots, get down right now!"

"boom!"

The three thugs couldn't understand.

This instantaneous phenomenon was actually caused by the release of enormous energy in the sky above Liangdu in a very short period of time, causing the temperature and pressure in the central region to instantly soar to extreme levels, far exceeding those of the surrounding environment. This extremely high energy instantly transformed the core matter into incandescent plasma, forming a rapidly expanding, extremely bright, high-temperature, and high-pressure fireball.

This expanding fireball, like a supersonic piston, violently compresses and pushes the surrounding air at extremely high speeds. The compressed air forms a thin layer with extremely high density, pressure, and temperature, creating an outward-propagating overpressure shock wave. The pressure at the leading edge of the shock wave is hundreds or thousands of times higher than normal atmospheric pressure, thus irresistibly destroying the vast majority of buildings and objects.

Because of the immense momentum of the fireball and shockwave expanding outwards, it not only pushed away the air, but also carried away a large amount of matter, dust, debris, and even the three groups of people who were looking back in disbelief, propelling them outwards at high speed.

When this large mass of material was ejected outward at such a high speed, the center of the explosion was almost "hollowed out," leaving behind very thin material that formed an area of ​​extremely low pressure. Driven by the huge pressure difference, the surrounding air, as well as some of the lighter fragments and dust blown away by the shock wave, began to move in the opposite direction at extremely high speeds, violently filling the low-pressure area in the center.

The inward airflow encounters residual material that may still be slowly spreading outward, generating extremely complex turbulence and vortices. The material backfilling the center, due to its kinetic energy and the possibility of being compressed and heated again, may cause the central pressure to rise briefly once more, resulting in a weaker new expansion.

Thus, the entire process is like a spring, undergoing several violent oscillations before the pressure difference gradually disappears, and atmospheric motion changes from violent shock waves to ordinary turbulent winds and airflows, eventually returning to calm.

At this moment, the air was filled with suspended dust and debris, which would take a long time to settle. The three thugs who had been blasted away by the overpressure shockwave were buried in the debris and dust.

Even though they were far from the epicenter of the explosion, and even though they were seasoned veterans who had honed their skills day and night, the three of them were still blasted, their bones fractured and broken. They were completely disoriented, as if they had been brutally beaten by dozens of powerful punches. They collapsed on the ground, groaning and screaming in agony.

Covered in dust and dirt, Hu Yanmo dug through the rubble, dragging his severed hand as he got to his feet.

"Cough, cough, cough, I'm going to die... What's going on... Ah! Ah! My hand! My... uh, not my hand? Then whose hand is this? Big brother? Big brother! How did you get so shattered! Are you still alive?!"

"Stop howling! Let me have some peace and quiet! Damn it! Damn it! Ahhh! Ahhh!"

Before Hu Yanmo could even dig out the people buried beside him, he heard Ma Qiu roar and vent his anger at the urban ruins that had been swept into a huge crater by the divine light not far away.

Oh, not the eldest brother? Then who is this? Ping Xian?

Since he had already dug him up, Hu Yanmo casually pulled the person out, only to find that the person was broken into pieces like a rib, a bloody mess, a mangled human form.

This unfortunate fellow was clearly at the center of the explosion, his entire body blown to pieces, not a single piece of flesh intact. The remaining heat of the mass of flesh had not dissipated, and it was even sizzling. The meridians and acupoints around his body were flashing with golden light as if they were burning, emitting huge waves of heat that scalded Hu Yanmo's hands.

Hu Yanmo quickly shook off the severed arm and looked at the body from a distance. It seemed that the person was curled up in a ball, with his left hand holding something that looked like a cocoon to his heart.

However, being too close to the center of the explosion, he could not escape the bombardment of the high-energy shockwave. His body was severely damaged, and his entire body was roasted by the immortal light. Even the thing wrapped in the cocoon was a bloody mess, stuck together in a ball, and its original form could not be identified at all.

But the strangest thing is that even after all this, this guy doesn't seem to be dead yet.

Yes, it's not dead yet. In the short time since it was dug out, a large number of pink fleshy buds have sprouted from beneath its charred skin like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. These buds wriggle, grow, and expand, stretching and intertwining like earthworms, frantically searching for usable materials to repair themselves.

So much so that the mass of flesh and blood he was holding in his arms, as well as the severed arms and bits of flesh scattered to the side, were all pulled back, absorbed completely, and the inhuman body was repaired and restored, turning into a whole new piece of flesh and blood.

Moreover, it spread faster and faster, multiplying more and more, until the entire body was covered with wriggling pinkish-white fleshy buds, as if thousands of maggots were robbing and nourishing the flesh...

Ugh, so disgusting...

"Big brother, the knife! The knife!"

Just then, Ping Xian's voice came from afar. Hu Yanmo turned his head and saw the guy climbing over the ruins, holding a broken knife branded with a bloody hand. He immediately recognized the blade that had almost beheaded him.

"Huh? It's actually him?"

When Huyan Mo turned back, he saw that the mangled body and blood clots had actually grown flesh and bone, and were almost visibly returning to human form.

Before he could even take a closer look, a bloody gash was suddenly torn open from a lump of flesh resembling a human head. With a gurgle, an icy blue beastly eye rolled out, staring coldly at him, instantly unleashing an uncontrollable, overwhelming killing intent.

In that instant, Huyan Mo felt a chill run through his body, a shiver run down his spine, and his hair stand on end. It was as if some great fear inherited from his ancient ancestors had been activated. He immediately scrambled away, and if his legs hadn't been trembling so badly that he couldn't stand up, he would have run away as fast as he could.

"Boss, it seems to be a knife surnamed Chen."

"The knife's broken like this, is it dead?... Hey, where are you going?!"

Ma Qiuping looked at Hu Yanmo, who was frantically crawling backwards outwards using both hands and feet, with a puzzled expression.

Then they saw a blood-soaked human figure slowly rising from the ruins and dust in the distance.

The blood-soaked man seemed to be groping for something in his arms, but he didn't find anything. Then he lowered his head, looked at the blood-stained silk he was holding in his left hand, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly stuffed the blood-stained silk into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

"Eh? Is that Master Chen?"

Ma Qiu shuddered involuntarily, quickly snatched the broken sword, held it in his hands, and shamelessly offered it up.

"So the great hero also escaped alive! What a stroke of luck! As the saying goes, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. It's a pity we were not capable enough and failed to save him..."

"boom!"

Then the blood-soaked man lunged forward, and with a single punch, sent Ma Qiu's head flying out of his body along with his spine, exploding and spraying out a large cloud of blood mist.

Before the head could even hit the ground, with a whoosh of wind, dozens of blood maggots, resembling intestines, emerged from the blood-soaked man's abdomen. Like fleshy whips or tentacles, they tore and coiled around Ma Qiu's entire body, tearing him into eight pieces and shredding him into thousands of fragments in the blink of an eye, which they then swallowed whole.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Huyanmo screamed wildly, foaming at the mouth, and frantically crawled backwards to escape.

Ping Xian's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes widened, and with a roar, he leaped into the air, shouting, "Boss! Demon! Take this—!"

"Oh!"

Then, with a lunge, the Blood Shadow smashed Ping Xian to pieces in mid-air, exploding into a cloud of blood! It exploded into a sky full of blood mist! And before a single drop of blood could even fall to the ground, the large mass of flesh and blood was enveloped by the Crimson Wind and swallowed whole by the Blood Humanoid!
"Wow ah ah!"

Huyanmo scrambled and crawled away, screaming as he fled.

Unfortunately, when predators are hungry, their merciless eyes no longer reflect compassion, pity, reason, or humanity.

All it can see is blood and flesh.

"Oh!"

With a single stomp, he shattered skulls and instantly devoured flesh and blood. The battlefield was now silent except for the howling wind of blood.

In less than a breath, after devouring three warriors, the blood-red figure finally solidified, but still seemed unsatisfied. It slowly turned its head to look at the sky, meeting the gaze of a pair of bright eyes that stood high in the clouds, looking down at the dust.

The person high in the clouds was a young man, dressed in white robes and a five-cornered crown. He was surrounded by clouds and mist, protected by the aura of heaven. He held a whisk in his hand, and there was a cinnabar mark between his eyebrows. He had white hair that was as white as a waterfall and as white as snow. His eyes were bright and silvery, and his gaze seemed to flash like lightning.

He stood there, looking down at the bloodied figure on the ground, a slight, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.
"Heh, Blood Demon Dao Body."

The blood-soaked man looked up at him, then suddenly reached for the broken sword beside him. He leaped into the air, transforming into a blood-red shadow, and slashed with the sword! With a single strike, he cleaved a huge crescent-shaped crimson crescent, aiming straight for the head of the Taoist in the clouds!

However, the young Taoist priest neither dodged nor avoided, neither slowed nor rushed, with a half-smile, he made a hand seal, swept his whisk, and his body turned into smoke and his form dispersed like clouds.

"When the primordial energy is purified, all phenomena return to stillness. Heaven and earth are bound together, and the universe is confined together!"

"boom!"

Thus, the dust particles that had been shattered and scattered between heaven and earth by the celestial tribulation light suddenly boiled up, like waterfalls and swirling clouds and mist, churning like the wind! In an instant, they coalesced and transformed into a hundred-zhang-long dragon, its Qi and dust condensed and its divine power manifested, baring its fangs and claws, and biting at the blood moon blade light!
"Shh!"

And then, a burst of blood-red light erupted! The blade energy and blood qi surged forth, unleashing a massive, forty-foot-long blood-red blade! With a single stroke, it cleaved the flying dragon in two, decapitating it!
However, the moment the colossal dragon was shattered, it condensed again, gathering like the wind, taking on the form of a dragon!
Unharmed and without a scratch, it turned and swept away the enemy with a single, powerful strike! It then swept its head and tail, carrying with it a terrifying surge of Dao energy, heading straight for the Blood Blade!

"Wow!"

"boom!"

"Oh!"

Then the blood-soaked man simply turned his blade, becoming one with it, transforming it into a blood-red hurricane! A whirlwind of slashes, a chaotic flurry of blows! He cleaved the dust dragons that were attacking from all directions, reducing them to dust and scum!

For a moment, the Blood Blade Flying Dragon clashed in the sky, their Dao forces colliding fiercely! They fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, their battle shaking the heavens and earth, with sonic booms and roars! For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand!
Suddenly, the clouds dispersed, and the wind and clouds changed color. The hundred-foot-long dragon, however, did not linger in battle. With a twist of its body, it withdrew into the air, teleporting away and landing high in the clouds. It hovered in the sky, speaking human words, spewing forth lightning, and roaring like thunder.

“This fiend possesses a thousand years of Dao power, and is definitely no less than me. Everyone, be careful.”

But the blood-red figure was clearly engrossed in the battle and refused to let the opponent escape. With another burst of blood-red light, it raised its blade and flew away, chasing after the flying dragon in the sky!
"Wow!"

"Ping!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, a burst of starlight erupted! It was a sword flying from the heavens! It struck the spine of the blade! It pierced through the blood energy and shattered the blade's light with a single blow! It cut the broken blade in two, severing it in half!

This sword strike was truly powerful, sending the bloodied man flying backward in a spiral! The broken blade in his hand was clearly cracked and covered with fine cracks, and it looked like it couldn't hold on any longer!

"Wow!"

Then another giant hand rose from the ground! It slammed down towards the falling blood-red shadow!
"boom!"

This palm strike was truly earth-shattering! With a single blow, the immense power crashed down, blasting the blood-soaked man into a shower of blood blossoms! In an instant, blood and qi scattered! It exploded into a rain of blood! Even the broken sword was sent flying into the sky by this palm strike, its whereabouts unknown!

However, before the broken sword could hit the ground, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed from the sky.

"Fake death! Don't let him get away!"

Then the clouds rolled and dispersed, and the heavenly dragons scattered. At the same time, three humanoid figures suddenly rose from the clouds and dust. They were actually transformed from dust particles. They moved with lightning speed and chased after the scattered flesh and blood!

The three unleashed their swords and palms simultaneously, their divine light sweeping wildly! In an instant, they blasted the blood, flesh, and gore into nothingness, obliterating them completely!
Seemingly having his escape technique exposed, the blood-covered figure stopped pretending. The scattered blood light suddenly swirled, transforming into a stream of light and a blood rainbow that merged into a blood robe in the sky, completely enveloping the blood-covered figure. He became a crimson shadow, drifting with the wind, his eyes flashing crimson light as he stared at the three-sided approaching figures of the Dust Dao Body that had instantly surrounded him. Suddenly, he spoke in human language, coldly cursing.

"Don't you fucking mess things up and get yourself killed! I'm busy right now! I don't have time to deal with you! Get the hell out of my way!"

The young-looking Taoist priest sneered.

"You fiend, you've taken so many lives, and you still think you can escape! Today, I, Emei, will act on behalf of Heaven and slay you, you evil demon!"

"Bullshit! What the hell does this have to do with me? These people weren't all killed by you guys! If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

The blood-soaked man roared and howled, and suddenly with a tearing sound, his blood-soaked robe split open from his forehead with seven or eight bloody gashes. Blood gushed out, and then, with a gurgling sound, a bunch of vertical, wolf-snake-like beast eyes grew out from under the robe, as if some strange demon was wrapped up inside the robe!

The blood-covered man seemed to have a splitting headache. Suddenly, his hands turned into claws, tearing and flailing about, gouging out the icy blue demonic eyes that had grown on his forehead. He dug and pried, creating one bloody hole after another in his head.

But the more he dug, the faster the eyeballs grew. At the same time, his blood-stained robes fell apart, and suddenly rows of bloody mouths split open from his ribs, with seven or eight pairs of arms extending out. Some grabbed a pair of bloody claws, some grabbed a person's head and beat them, and some tore open his intestines and ripped his bones apart, as if he wanted to tear his own skin apart.

"...What kind of evil magic is this?"

"Is this what the Blood Demon Body looks like?"

Even though they were well-versed in the Daoist canon and had seen much of the world, none of the three Emei disciples had ever seen such a strange sight. They couldn't help but take a step back, puzzled and confused.

Even if they don't understand, they must still be executed!
The young Taoist priest snorted coldly.
"My two junior brothers, good and evil have always been irreconcilable, let alone the emergence of the Blood Demon, which is intolerable to Heaven! Today, let us join hands to eliminate the demon and act on behalf of Heaven!"

"Very well!" "We obey the decree!"

The bloodied man, his face splattered with blood from the flurry of punches, roared to the sky and ripped open his blood-stained clothes.
"Fine! You want to fight? Fine! Then I don't care anymore! Come on! Fight!"
