Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 410 The Demise of Three Families (1.6 words, First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

suddenly.

Sima Chengdao's expression immediately turned serious, and he exclaimed, "Brother Liu, one of the three newcomers is a master of formations, and he seems to be trying to break the formation!"

If this formation is lost, then our last chance of survival will be gone!

Liu Qiankun also looked grim.

"Brother Liu, you can no longer hide your trump card. You must kill that formation mage!"

"I understand, Brother Sima, I will do as you say!"

The two immediately rushed towards the three Taoist priests, including Xuanji.

And just then...

Xu Chuan released five Xuan Yin Blood Corpses, two Sha Mo Blood Corpses, and the Blood Sha Ghost King.

"Go! In the blood mist, you can kill everyone except members of the Xu family."

"I will give you guidance."

Seven peak-level third-tier blood corpses, including the Blood Demon King, charged directly into the Blood Mist Formation.

Following Xu Chuan's directions, they arrived directly at the location where the Green-Eyebrowed Elder and his group were engaged in the Great Formation of the Mountain-Embracing Apes.

"Seven peak-level Tier 3 Blood Corpses!"

Lady Blood Charm's face turned deathly pale!
The blood corpses surrounded them, and amidst the roar of the strongest Xuan Yin blood corpse, they launched their attacks.

The Blood Demon King remained aloof, waiting for someone to walk into his trap.

Sensing a deadly threat, the mountain ape abandoned its attack on Xue Tiedao and his companions, and instead turned to face one of the blood corpses.

The strongest Xuan Yin Blood Corpse attacked the Green-Eyebrowed Elder, while the others were surrounded and attacked by the two Blood Corpses.

"Clang clang clang clang—!!"

Xue Tiedao's ghost-headed saber clashed head-on with the claws of a blood-soaked corpse, producing a deafening clang of metal striking metal.

The blood corpse's claws were harder than refined gold, and not much weaker than a mid-grade magic weapon.

Lady Blood Charm's blood-red jade pendant can corrupt magical artifacts and can also condense a river of blood to resist attacks, but in front of blood corpses, it is not as effective as ordinary defensive magical artifacts.

"Sizzle—!"

As the blood claws slashed across, Lady Blood Charm's protective aura shattered like paper.

She managed to turn to the side, but her right shoulder and entire arm were ripped off by a blood-soaked corpse!
"what--!!"

Lady Blood Demon screamed in agony, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Her face was as pale as paper. She used her magic to stop the bleeding, had no more will to fight, and turned to flee.

They didn't care about the direction; they just wanted to get away from these blood corpses.

The blood corpse did not stop her, letting her stagger into the depths of the blood mist, and then each of them split off one to join Xue Tiedao and Baoshan Yuan's siege.

Their pressure suddenly increased significantly.

A dozen or so breaths later.

The blood mist echoed once more with Lady Blood Demon's agonizing screams.

The sound was filled with horror, pain, and despair, as if it had encountered something even more terrifying than a blood corpse, and then it abruptly stopped.

A deathly silence.

The aura of Lady Blood Demon has completely vanished.

The old man with green eyebrows and Xue Tiedao exchanged a glance, both seeing horror in each other's eyes.

Although Lady Blood Charm was severely injured, she was still a late-stage Golden Core cultivator with a magical treasure protecting her. Yet, she perished in just a dozen breaths!

The two didn't have time to think it through.

Xue Tiedao was also facing a life-or-death situation.

After all, every blood corpse was at the peak of the third tier.

With two attackers surrounding him, he could barely hold them off with his strength.

After the number of attacks increased again, Xue Tiedao immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.

His demon-headed sword was firmly locked by the claws of two blood zombies, and a third blood zombie pounced from the side and bit his left arm!
"Crack!" The arm bone shattered.

"Go away!"

Xue Tiedao roared and threw down his sword.

He punched the blood corpse in the face with his right hand, knocking it back several steps.

However, a large chunk of flesh had been torn from his left arm, so deep that bone was visible, and the bloodthirsty aura was frantically eroding along the wound.

He staggered backward, trying to retrieve some medicine from his storage bag to heal his injuries.

A blood-soaked corpse had already circled behind him, its blood claws silently piercing his heart.

"puff--"

Xue Tiedao froze, looking down at the blood-stained claw protruding from his chest, covered in fragments of his own heart, his eyes filled with resentment and disbelief.

How could that be?

He wanted to say something, but blood had already blocked his throat.

The blood claw was pulled out, bringing with it large fragments of internal organs.

Xue Tiedao slowly fell to the ground, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his breath ceased completely.

Another late-stage Golden Core cultivator has fallen.

The old man with green eyebrows was terrified.

escape!
We must escape!
The old man with green eyebrows had lost all will to fight. With a flick of his sleeve, a low-grade magic weapon flew out.

"burst!"

A low-grade magic weapon flying sword exploded with a bang!

The violent energy swept in like a tsunami, repelling the strongest Xuan Yin Blood Corpse.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the green-browed old man darted away and fled frantically towards the outer edge of the blood mist!

However, within the blood mist, what awaited him was a half-step fourth-tier Blood Fiend Ghost King, even more powerful than the Blood Corpse.

When he saw him, the old man with green eyebrows was suddenly startled.

No wonder Lady Blood Charm was killed so quickly.

With his strength, he could only possibly outmaneuver the Blood Demon King if he mastered his supernatural powers to perfection.

His expression turned cold, and he immediately threw out another magical artifact, which flew towards the Blood Demon King.

however--

"Buzz!"

An invisible and intangible divine sense attack, like a thunderclap from the heavens, slammed into his sea of ​​consciousness!
"what--!!"

The old man with green eyebrows clutched his head and howled in pain, blood flowing from all seven orifices. In the midst of the excruciating pain in his soul, he directly severed his control over the magical artifact.

Just this brief moment of stillness.

The Blood Demon King made a move.

It transformed into a blood-red shadow and instantly appeared in front of the Green-Browed Old Man, gently pressing a ghostly claw covered in blood-red scales onto his crown.

"No!"

The old man with green eyebrows had eyes full of fear and despair.

A claw of evil.

"Pfft."

Like crushing a watermelon.

Red and white things splashed everywhere.

The headless body of the green-browed old man swayed and fell to the ground.

The Blood Demon King opened its mouth and inhaled, like a whale sucking in water, swallowing the Green-Browed Old Man's soul into its belly!
Then, he brought the bodies of Lady Blood Charm and Old Man Green Eyebrows to the side of the Blood Corpse.

The Mountain-Embracing Ape faced the siege of seven peak-level third-tier blood corpses all by himself.

Even with its powerful physique and extraordinary bloodline, it was surrounded and killed within a dozen breaths.

Their souls and spirits belong to the Blood Demon King, while their flesh and blood belong to the strongest Xuan Yin Blood Corpse.

The next step for the Blood Demon King is to become a fourth-tier Demon King.

After the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse devours the flesh and blood of Green Eyebrows and the Mountain-Embracing Ape, it only needs to completely consume them to step into the realm of a half-step fourth-order Corpse King.

The Xuan Yin Blood Corpse roared to the sky, its bloodthirsty aura surging upwards.

high altitude.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly upon seeing this.

The others also felt the astonishing fluctuations emanating from the Blood Corpse's roar.

Sima Chengdao was even more horrified, and turned to Liu Qiankun and said, "That Golden Core Perfection cultivator, the two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and that late-stage third-order Mountain-Embracing Ape are all dead!"

"How is that possible?!" Liu Qiankun's expression changed. "Could it be related to that inhuman, beastly roar just now?"

"Seven peak-level third-tier blood corpses and a half-step fourth-tier ghost king—even the peak-level third-tier Xuan Yu Ming Snake would have to give way."

Anyone else who encounters this will surely die.

Sima Chengdao said anxiously, "We must dismantle the great formation and gather the strength of the rest of us to have any hope of resisting those blood corpses."

Otherwise, our souls and flesh would be devoured by them, just like those demonic cultivators.

"Even the formation can't stop it?"

"Logically, it should be possible, but I don't know if it's because that half-step fourth-order ghost king's soul is too strong, they just went straight to the mountain-embracing ape's side."

It seemed the massive blood mist formation had absolutely no effect on it.

"Then let's dismantle the great formation and gather the remaining forces to launch a joint attack," Liu Qiankun said through gritted teeth.

The changes were too rapid for them to react in time.

Seeing this, Xu Chuan smiled contemptuously, flicked his sleeve, and once again set up the Cloud Illusion Array, enveloping the entire Great Liang Imperial City.

"Gentlemen," Sima Chengdao's voice echoed throughout the palace, "the great formation has revealed seven peak third-tier blood corpses, as well as a half-step fourth-tier ghost king."

They easily killed two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, one perfect Golden Core cultivator, and a late-stage third-tier Mountain-Holding Ape.

If we continue to fight, we will surely be devoured by them and never be able to escape.

Therefore, I intend to dismantle the Blood Mist Array.

The expressions of Xuanji Laodao and his companions, Ye Fan and his two companions, Cao Jiyi, and Xuan Yu Ming She all changed.

next moment.

The blood mist surrounding them indeed began to dissipate.

They could see each other completely.

Strangely, they didn't make a move again, their gazes fixed on the line of blood corpses several miles away, and the Blood Demon King above the corpses' heads.

"This old Taoist priest will not keep you company any longer!"

The old Taoist Xuanji immediately prepared to use his escape technique to flee far away.

However, at this very moment...

Countless white clouds began to spread around the edge of the palace, blocking his escape technique.

"A trapping formation?!" The old Taoist Xuanji frowned. "What does this mean?"

He looked at Sima Chengdao.

Sima Chengdao's expression also changed. "This is not our doing."

A cold glint flashed in the middle-aged scholar's eyes. "It seems someone doesn't want us to leave."

Above the clouds, Xu Mingxuan said with a wry smile, "Father, the situation has changed too quickly. The enemies who were once mortal enemies have now joined forces to deal with your Blood Corpse and Ghost King."

"That's not surprising!"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Chuan began to arrange his opponents.

Blood Demon King and Xuan Yin Corpse King fight against Xuan Yu Ming Snake.

The Xuan Yu Ming Snake instinctively became wary of the two of them, its tongue flicking wildly as if issuing a warning.

The Blood Demon King launched the first attack, flapping its wings and transforming into countless blood shadows that clung to the snake's body like maggots clinging to its bones.

Its bloodthirsty aura corrodes flesh and blood; wherever it touches, the Xuan Yu Ming Snake's hard scales emit a hissing sound and wisps of black smoke.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King was even more direct, roaring to the sky. A terrifying corpse aura, comparable to that of a half-step fourth-order cultivator, suddenly erupted, transforming into a blood claw twenty or thirty feet long, which grabbed at the snake's head!

The Xuan Yu Ming Snake hissed angrily, its single horn surging with black lightning, transforming into a lightning net that enveloped the Blood Claw. At the same time, its giant tail swept across, aiming to crush the Blood Fiend Ghost King.

The three were locked in a fierce battle.

Lightning, bloodlust, and corpse energy clashed and intertwined!
Each clash unleashed terrifying energy fluctuations, causing surrounding palaces to collapse one after another.

Three of the Xuan Yin Blood Corpses were used against Xuanji and his two companions.

The three of them revolved around Xuanji.

The old Taoist Xuanji set up the Three Talents Formation, with the three people as the core of the formation. They were able to deal with the three blood corpses at the peak of the third rank without being at a disadvantage.

The middle-aged scholar gently waved his folding fan, and countless pink petals appeared out of thin air, each one like a blade, flying towards one of the blood-soaked corpses.

Ding Ding Ding ~
Thousands of sparks burst forth.

"A magical armor!"

His expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

I thought they were wearing ordinary armor, but it turned out to be a defensive magic weapon.

The burly man in black robes drew his greatsword, its blade gleaming like a dragon, and slashed at the blood-soaked corpse charging at the front.

"clang--!"

The blood-skinned corpse's claws clashed with the giant sword, producing a metallic clang.

The blood-soaked corpse was forced back three steps, leaving only a white mark on its claws.

Instead, the hand holding the sword in the black-robed giant's hand went numb from the shock!
The last three blood-soaked corpses charged toward Sima Chengdao, Liu Qiankun, and Cao Jiyi respectively.

Sima Chengdao shouted, "Fellow Daoist Liu, what are you waiting for!"

Liu Qiankun knew he was in a life-or-death crisis, so he immediately used his Qi Luck Secret Technique, and his aura surged instantly, directly from the fifth level of the Golden Core stage to the ninth level.

The Nine Dragon Seal in his hand also unleashed the power of a six-patterned magic weapon.

Mei Yun, Xuan Ji, and the middle-aged scholar all turned their gazes toward it.

"What kind of secret technique is that? It's so profound that it can increase one's strength by so much and even upgrade the grade of magical treasures!" Xuanji asked in surprise.

Mei Yun's eyes lit up, and she began to explain, "This is a secret method of Qi Luck, which is extremely profound. Without learning the corresponding techniques, it is impossible to cultivate."

“Luck?! No wonder, thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Daoist.” Xuanji said with a smile.

"You're too kind, fellow Daoist," Mei Yun nodded in response.

With his strength skyrocketing, Liu Qiankun, wielding the superior-grade magic weapon Nine Dragon Seal, fought alone against two blood corpses.

Sima Chengdao assisted from the side, occasionally launching sneak attacks with blood-red spikes or using low-grade magic weapons to block the blood corpses' sneak attacks.

The last blood-soaked corpse rushed towards Cao Jiyi.

Cao Jiyi was not far from Ye Fan and the other two, and immediately lured the blood corpse over.

Seeing this, Ye Fan fixed his gaze on Cao Jiyi. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. He immediately transmitted his voice and said, "Deyue, Second Junior Brother, help me stop that blood corpse."

I will personally kill that old scoundrel Cao!

Xu Deyue and Mei Yun nodded.

With a flick of her wrist, Xu Deyue unleashed a sword beam that struck the blood corpse, knocking it back.

He roared at Xu Deyue and Mei Yun, but dared not make a move because he sensed Xu Deyue's bloodline from the Xu family.

"Play with them for a bit." Xu Chuan's voice entered his mind.

The blood-soaked corpse immediately charged towards the two of them.

Xu Deyue fought the blood corpse head-on, while Mei Yun, like Sima Chengdao, held the "Mountain and River Seal" and launched sneak attacks from time to time.

The Blood Corpse wished it could spare Xu Deyue and tear Mei Yun to pieces.

But she couldn't, and felt extremely wronged.

He bared his teeth and roared at Mei Yun repeatedly, but the more he did so, the more vigorously Mei Yun smashed the object.

I'll teach you to sneer at me!

Ye Fan charged toward Cao Jiyi, shouting angrily, "Old devil Cao, you deserve to die today!"

Cao Jiyi was taken aback, then angrily retorted, "You greenhorn, don't think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your appearance."

You must be the scarred man from last time.

"Let's settle the score today for the insult I suffered last time!"

Despite his words, he turned and fled. After all, in terms of strength, he was no match for him, and the mid-grade magic treasure he carried was only a defensive one.

Soon, Cao Jiyi spotted a Cao clan member who had fled to the Foundation Establishment stage.

He took out a black lamp from his storage ring.

Then a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to grab!
"Ancestor! No—!"

A middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator screamed in terror, but was pulled in front of Cao Jiyi by an invisible force.

"For the continuation of the Cao family, offer up your lifespan!"

Cao Jiyi pressed his palm against the top of his head, silently chanting an incantation while making hand seals with his other hand.

next moment.

The "Purple Heavenly Fiend Lamp" flashed with an eerie light.

"what--!!!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator screamed in agony.

The body shriveles and ages at a visible rate, hair turns white and skin wrinkles.

In just three breaths.

He transformed from a middle-aged man into a withered old man, and was then casually discarded by Cao Jiyi.

In addition to absorbing lifespan, the "Purple Heavenly Fiend Lamp" also absorbs the user's vital energy and spirit.

Using this as fuel, the wick is lit, emitting a purplish-black flame.

"Go!" Cao Jiyi made a hand seal and turned the "Purple Heavenly Fiend Lamp" towards Ye Fan.

Then, a ball of purplish-black flame shot out from the flames, burning the void.

Ye Fan's pupils contracted, and he immediately raised the True Yang Shield in front of him.

"Pong!"

The True Yang Shield's defensive light barrier trembled violently, its astonishing power forcing Ye Fan back.

Ye Fan was secretly shocked, "This power is no less than a fully mastered fire-type divine ability!"

Seeing that Ye Fan had blocked the purplish-black flames, Cao Jiyi used the technique four more times in succession until the flames were extinguished. Ye Fan's True Yang Shield light barrier finally gave way and shattered.

But the fighting spirit in his eyes grew even more intense!

"Good, good, good!" Ye Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and burst into laughter. "That's more like it!"

Ignoring everything else, he charged at Cao Jiyi again!
"Brahma Holy Fist - Fourth Fist, Merging with Heaven!"

Pale golden flames burned fiercely on his fists!

He possesses an indomitable fighting spirit, a determination to fight against heaven and earth, and to never give up.

The Battle Intent Divine Power amplified his strength across the board.

At this moment, Ye Fan seemed like a war god who had walked out of ancient times, fierce and unparalleled, with an aura as powerful as a rainbow!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

The force of the punches was like rain, each punch shaking the void!

Cao Jiyi used his black armor shield to withstand the attack and kept retreating, searching for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But no one dared to approach Cao Jiyi anymore.

He was afraid that he would suffer the same fate as Cao Shi, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Ye Fan threw punch after punch, completely disregarding the damage to his meridians.

The power of the punches surged higher and higher, reaching an unprecedented peak!
Cao Jiyi was forced to retreat steadily, and as the shield of light was about to give way, fear finally welled up in his heart.

That kid's a madman!

"Stop! Our feud ends here. I can overlook what happened before!"

Cao Jiyi shouted urgently.

Ye Fan continued his offensive, his voice as cold as iron: "Impossible, unless your Cao family is completely wiped out!"

Cao Jiyi was shocked: "My Cao family has no grudge against you, so why do you harbor such deep hatred?!"

"Go ask underground!"

"You forced me into this!"

A madness flashed in Cao Jiyi's eyes. He formed a hand seal and was about to sacrifice part of his lifespan and vital energy.

If successful, the purplish-black flames will be enhanced to a level comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages.

But just as he was halfway through casting his spell—

Xu Chuan made his move quietly.

"what--!!"

Cao Jiyi let out a mournful cry, abruptly stopping the activation of his secret technique!

The "Purple Heavenly Fiend Lamp" is an extremely ferocious demonic artifact, and it still retains a trace of spirituality, which immediately backfired on Cao Jiyi.

Cao Jiyi's situation was extremely dire after his divine sense attack was countered by the "Purple Heavenly Fiend Lamp".

"Who is it!"

Just as he uttered those two words, Ye Fan had already moved in front of him.

Those fists, burning with pale golden flames, rapidly magnified in his terrified pupils.

"Do not--!!!"

"Die, you old bastard!"

Ye Fan roared and unleashed a punch with all his might, shattering the defensive light barrier of the black armor shield in front of Cao Jiyi.

The armor shield was blasted away.

Ye Fan's remaining punch pierced his chest, causing his heart to explode.

Cao Jiyi's body flew backward like a tattered rag.

At this moment, Ye Fan's voice rang in his ear, "Go down and give my regards to my mother, Ye Xuehua."

"you"

Cao Jiyi's eyes widened immediately.

He died instantly!
In the distance, the Blood Demon King, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Xuan Yu Ming Snake, seemed to sense something, turned his head, and opened his mouth to inhale.

"Whoosh-!"

Cao Jiyi's remnant soul was powerless to resist and was swallowed by the Ghost King.

On his corpse, countless blood threads automatically emerged, transforming into a blood rainbow that traversed several miles before disappearing into the mouth of the Xuan Yin Corpse King.

Ye Fan soared through the air, gazing at Cao Jiyi's corpse, a sense of complete relief washing over him.

Then, he flew towards Xu Deyue and the others, intending to help them subdue the blood corpse.

Xu Chuan rarely uses his blood corpse; at least Ye Fan and the others have certainly never seen it.

At this moment, Xu Chuan's voice suddenly rang in his mind, "Just pretend, don't damage the blood corpse that your master has worked so hard to cultivate."

"Master?!"

Ye Fan was suddenly shocked. "These blood corpses and that half-step fourth-order ghost king, they were all your doing, Master?"

"I intend to use this great calamity to help the Corpse King and Ghost King advance to the fourth rank, so every blood corpse is of great use to me."

"Understood, Master."

After a pause, Ye Fan asked again, "Did you intervene, Master?"

"Heh, which eye of yours saw that?"

"Thank you, Master."

He was just wondering why Cao Jiyi had suddenly suffered a backlash, originally thinking it was because the black light was difficult to control.

Now the truth has come to light.

If Cao Jiyi had succeeded just now, even if he cultivated both physical and magical arts, he would probably have been seriously injured to death.

Ye Fan arrived at Xu Deyue's side and informed her and Mei Yun of the matter via telepathy.

"No wonder that blood corpse kept baring its teeth at me, but didn't dare to hurt me. It was all an act!" Mei Yun transmitted her voice, "Senior Brother, do you think I owe this blood corpse brother an apology?"

Ye Fan was speechless for a moment.

He feigned serious injury, and the three of them attacked a blood-soaked corpse without arousing suspicion.

"Husband, aren't you going to take action against those Cao family members in the capital?"

"No, when Cao Jiyi was recklessly sacrificing the Cao family members, I suddenly felt that they were pitiful to be born into the Cao family."

Having such an ancestor was their greatest misfortune.

“I agree with that. If my Xu family had no grandfather, even with a generation of geniuses, we would not have reached where we are today.”

Half an hour later.

Suddenly, Xu Chuan sensed something, smiled faintly, and patted the Yin Corpse Bag, from which three more Fiend Blood Corpses rushed out.

They have completed their advancement, moving from the late stage of the third tier to the peak of the third tier.

"Go."

The three demonic blood corpses immediately rushed into the clouds.

Then it appeared in the Liang Dynasty palace.

"Another peak third-tier blood corpse? Is it inevitable that I will die today?" Xuanji's face showed sorrow.

The others also turned pale.

The three demonic blood corpses headed straight for Sima Chengdao and Liu Qiankun.

"not good!"

Sima Chengdao shouted and abandoned Liu Qiankun, fleeing the scene.

However, the entire Liang imperial palace was sealed off.

Where can he run to?

The three demonic blood corpses chased after Sima Chengdao, destroying countless palaces and corridors.

Then they caught up with him at the other end of the palace and killed him.

Next up is Liu Qiankun.

The Nine Dragons Seal combines offense and defense, reaching the level of a superior magic weapon.

But this improvement was achieved through secret techniques.

Moreover, he has been using this secret technique for quite some time.

The five blood corpses attacked for only half a cup of tea's time before the effects of the Qi Luck Secret Technique began to wane.

Just a moment.

Liu Qiankun's dragon robe was tattered, his crown tassels were scattered, and his hair was disheveled.

A deep, bone-revealing claw mark was gushing blood from his chest, the result of the blood zombie's sneak attack.

"A calamity occurs every five hundred years, and a cycle repeats every thousand years. It seems this is our destiny!"

"No one can escape, no one can escape!"

Hahaha~

Liu Qiankun burst into laughter, his voice desolate and sorrowful.

“But I am the emperor.” Liu Qiankun stopped laughing, a resolute glint in his eyes. “The supreme ruler, the mandate of heaven.”

I will never allow myself to become food for monsters like you!

Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged to its limit!
It's not about improvement, it's about frantically compressing and condensing!
At this moment, the golden core in his dantian is becoming brighter and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a sun about to explode!
Xu Chuan's mind raced; a single spiritual attack would be enough to interrupt its self-destruction.

Then the five blood corpses could tear Liu Qiankun apart in an instant.

But in the end, he chose to remain silent.

A brief command was transmitted solely through the connection between the blood corpses:

"retreat."

The flames flickered in the crimson pupils of the five blood corpses, and they almost simultaneously stopped attacking, retreating rapidly.

Liu Qiankun stood on the ruins, watching the blood-soaked corpse leave, but he did not chase after it.

The tattered dragon robe fluttered even without wind.

He took one last look at the Liang Imperial Palace.

"With our ancestors above, I, Liu Qiankun, the unworthy descendant, will live and die with the nation today."

Then--

"BOOM—!!!!!!!!!"

The world has lost its voice.

No, it's because the sound was too loud, exceeding the limits that human eardrums can withstand!

A burst of pure energy was released, rippling outwards like waves on water.

Wherever this terrifying energy passed, palaces, stone walls, and bluestone floors were torn apart, decomposed, and vaporized!
The ground was scraped away to a depth of three zhang (approximately 10 meters), forming a perfectly bowl-shaped giant pit.

The five blood corpses were hit by the energy impact, but fortunately they avoided the core area of ​​the explosion, so they only suffered minor injuries.

He revealed it himself.

Nearly a quarter of the Daliang Imperial Palace was destroyed.

Many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators were caught in the crossfire and died in the self-destruction.

Unlike the Cao and Sima families, the Liu family never attacked the Xu family, so there wasn't much of a grudge between them.

Xu Chuan saw that Liu Qiankun chose to die as an emperor rather than become food for the dead.

This resolute decision deserves respect.

That's why I didn't interrupt.

the other side.

The old Taoist Xuanji set up the Three Talents Formation, but was besieged by three blood corpses for a long time.

He, the middle-aged scholar, and the burly man in black robes were all quite exhausted, and their faces were pale.

At this moment, five idle blood corpses flew over, instantly turning their faces ashen.

"It's over!" Old Daoist Xuanji said with a bitter laugh, "Fellow Daoists, you should each flee for your lives."

He immediately abandoned the two and fled into the distance.

"Damn it, that old devil Xuanji!" the middle-aged scholar cursed.

But a ghostly blood shadow appeared behind him, instantly piercing through his chest and shattering his heart.

He died on the spot.

The burly man in black robes turned and fled in the other direction.

But after flying only a few dozen feet, three bloody corpses appeared ahead.

Five bodies surrounded them.

Even if his swordsmanship is superb, it cannot overcome the difference in strength!
Several dozen breaths later.

The burly man in black robes has fallen!
The old Taoist Xuanji possessed the supernatural ability of escape, though he hadn't even reached the minor level of mastery, but even so, the blood corpse couldn't easily catch up with him.

He ran to the battlefield between the Xuan Yu Ming Snake and the Ghost King and Corpse King to see if he could divert the trouble to the east.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon King's soul-shaking attack brought his escape speed to an abrupt halt.

Then, with a flash of blood, the old Taoist Xuanji's head was crushed.

The soul and essence were divided up.

Upon seeing this, the Xuan Yu Ming Snake transformed its tail into a black whip and suddenly lashed out at the Blood Fiend Ghost King.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King appeared in front of him and blocked the attack.

Then the other four Xuan Yin Blood Corpses arrived.

"Five Spirits Blood Corpse Formation!"

Xu Chuan gave the order.

The power of the other five Xuan Yin Blood Corpses surged into the Xuan Yin Corpse King's body.

The Corpse King's strength and aura surged instantly, breaking through the half-step fourth level and continuing to rise, infinitely approaching the fourth-level Corpse King.

Even alone, it is qualified to fight against the Xuan Yu Ming She.

Now, there is the Blood Demon King and five Blood Demon Corpses.

The Xuan Yu Ming Snake also felt a strong sense of crisis.

It began to flee and avoid the danger.

He even deliberately endured the attacks of the demonic blood corpse, retreating to the edge of the mist, and then black lightning condensed on the single horn on his head.

Countless black arcs of electricity transformed into electric snakes, rushing into the mist.

The fog ahead was instantly cleared away, revealing the view outside the imperial city.

Just as it was about to rush out of this place.

Xu Chuan finally made his move, silently sending a divine sense technique into his sea of ​​consciousness.

This is his all.

Forty silver needles of divine sense condensed into a "God-Slaying Cone," which would cause some damage to the soul even to a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages of cultivation.

As for the Golden Core cultivators and third-tier demonic beasts, they will inevitably suffer severe damage.

Another wail rang out!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Blood Demon King and the Mysterious Yin Corpse King launched a frenzied attack, tearing off large chunks of flesh from the Mysterious Feather Nether Serpent.

The bloodthirsty aura and the mysterious Yin corpse aura eroded it wildly.

The thirty-zhang-long, jet-black snake writhed violently, each roll unleashing a devastating storm.

The nearby palaces and buildings were all leveled by the storm.

"hiss--!!!"

The snake's mouth gaped open, its forked black tentacles thrashed wildly, and a cloud of poisonous mist spewed out!

The Blood Demon King flapped its wings, dispersing the poisonous mist.

Like a leech, they clung tightly to the Xuan Yu Ming Snake, tearing away much of its flesh and blood in no time.

The Dark Feather Serpent was in pain.

The snake's tail lashed out like a steel whip, creating a sonic boom in the air, and slammed hard into the back of the Xuan Yin Corpse King!
"boom--!!"

The Xuan Yin Corpse King was flung away, crashing through three palace walls and carving a trench tens of feet long in the ruins.

His magical armor had developed numerous cracks.

Just as he was about to continue his pursuit, Xu Chuan's "God-Slaying Cone" struck again.

"Agh—!!!"

The Xuan Yu Ming Snake let out another painful hiss.

The Blood Demon King's body condensed endless Yin energy into a ghostly claw several tens of feet long, which slammed down fiercely.

Pong!
The Xuan Yu Ming Snake opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark green blood, which immediately corroded a deep pit in the ground.

The Xuan Yin Blood Corpse attacked, its blood claws tearing away large chunks of flesh.

The remaining blood corpses also swarmed forward.

Faced with such an attack, the Xuan Yu Ming Snake suffered unprecedented damage, and it even felt its life slipping away rapidly.

But it is an ancient and exotic species with terrifyingly tenacious vitality.

They wanted to launch a desperate counterattack.

How could Xu Chuan give it a chance? He extinguished its last chance of life.

Having suffered three "God-Slaying Cones" and a soul attack from the Blood Demon King, the Xuan Yu Ming Snake was on the verge of death, its soul and spirit riddled with cracks.

Just a moment later.

It was then killed by the combined forces of the Xuan Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King.

Then, the aura of the Xuan Yin Corpse King collapsed.

Xu Chuan gave the Blood Demon King the essence, demon core, and blood essence of the Xuan Yu Ming Snake.

With this help, its foundation will be incredibly solid.

After fully digesting it, I should be only one step away from reaching the fourth-tier Ghost King realm.

As for the Cao, Sima, and Liu families within the palace, Xu Chuan naturally had no intention of letting them go.

He is not a soft-hearted person.

While the blood corpses searched for the survivors, Xu Chuan collected all the Golden Core storage bags and sorted out his spoils.

This is a considerable fortune.
