On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

The woman surnamed Lin had been watching Zhang Tie's movements closely. At the crucial moment, she controlled the large bell above her head to suddenly slam down, completely protecting herself inside the bell.

"Ding ding ding..."

Countless arrows formed from blood shot at the great bell, producing a series of tinkling sounds.

These arrows looked ordinary, but the damage they caused was far greater than expected.

Each arrow that struck the bell left a dent.

Despite being hit by a large number of arrows, a small crack was actually left on the bell.

Looking at the cracks on the clock, the three of them felt a sense of fear.

This person's aura was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but his spells were extremely strange and his power was terrifying. A casual strike could directly destroy a mid-grade magic weapon!

As cracks appeared on the small bell, thin strands of blood quietly crept into the cracks without the three of them noticing.

"what!"

The next moment, a sharp scream came from the small bell.

Then, Xiao Zhong was thrown out, revealing the woman surnamed Lin who was pierced by blood-red threads.

Her mouth was agape, her neck was being tightly strangled, and she couldn't even scream.

Her limbs were pierced by silk threads, and like a marionette, she was pulled by the threads and flown backwards into Zhang Tie's hands.

The old man and the scholar still wanted to rescue her, but they saw Zhang Tie's hand transform into sharp claws, easily piercing through the woman's body and tearing out a fresh, beating heart.

Zhang Tie's blood flowed into the Lin woman's body through the wound. In the blink of an eye, all the blood in the corpse was drained, leaving only a dried-up body, which he casually tossed aside.

Looking at the heart in his hand that was gradually stopping beating, Zhang Tie gently licked it.

"Fresh heart, indeed delicious."

The old man and the scholar were speechless with astonishment at what they saw.

The two retreated almost simultaneously, increasing the distance between themselves and Zhang Tie.

Inside the tree hollow, Zhao Fan felt a chill run down his spine. He activated the Netherworld Mirror with all his might, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, none of the four of them noticed that in the distance, a flying boat was flying towards them at full speed.

Su San was on the flying boat.

At this moment, Su San was covered in blood and looked extremely disheveled.

Behind them, a blood-red streak of light was relentlessly pursuing them.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that this person is the same burly man who bid for the Blood Shadow Wolf earlier.

"Fellow Daoist, if you spare the Blood Shadow Wolf, I will spare your life; otherwise, I will kill you today!"

Behind her, the burly man's voice reached Su San's ears.

Su San's eyes were cold as she ignored him and focused all her energy on propelling the flying boat forward to continue her escape.

Even so, the distance between the two continued to shrink.

As he was thinking about how to escape, he saw the battle on the mountain not far away and made a decision in an instant.

Given the current situation, it's absolutely impossible to get rid of this big man. It would be better to lead things to the most chaotic outcome, which might offer a glimmer of hope.

With that in mind, Su San steered the flying boat straight towards the three people on the mountaintop.

The burly man behind him remained completely calm upon seeing this. Among the cultivators within a thousand miles, there were only a handful who could defeat him. Even if he were to go down and engage in a chaotic battle with these people, he would not be afraid at all.

Moreover, given his cultivation level, those who know what's good for them wouldn't dare to fight him.

As Su San approached, the three people on the mountain also noticed him, especially the old man and the scholar, who were overjoyed to see Su San coming.

The airship was very fast, and in the blink of an eye it landed on the mountaintop.

Behind him, a burly man dressed in blood red followed closely, landing on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing that two fellow Daoists had arrived at the same time, the old man and the scholar felt much more at ease.

Just as he was about to ask for their help, a blood-red arrow pierced through the scholar's body in an instant when the two were not paying attention.

The scholar's eyes narrowed, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Seeing that his two companions had been murdered, the old man immediately retreated, while reminding the two who had just entered.

"Fellow Daoists, be careful! This person desires to use the blood of cultivators to cultivate demonic arts!"

Su San didn't originally intend to stop. The flying boat circled around the mountaintop, planning to leave from the other side.

However, they had only flown a short distance when they were blocked by a blood-red barrier.

Seeing this, Su San's heart sank, knowing that he had stumbled into a death trap.

The burly man who had been watching Su San closely couldn't help but smile when he saw Su San being blocked by the formation.

However, the burly man immediately became interested upon hearing the words "demonic arts".

He himself cultivated a demonic body-cultivation technique, and demonic arts held an extraordinary attraction for him.

"Haha, there's even a surprise!"

Zhang Tie looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes becoming increasingly excited, and the blood in his body seemed to become more active with his mood.

Beside him, the burly man watched the Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator, whose entire body was covered in blood, get so excited, and couldn't help but curl his lip.

He didn't quite understand. Did a mere Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator really want to attack him, who was at Qi Refining Level 11?

However, he was still quite curious about Zhang Tie's demonic powers; that writhing blood looked incredibly powerful.

"A mere Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator with such a big mouth? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

The burly man looked at Zhang Tie and spoke, his tone full of disdain.

Having said that, a powerful force surged forth, and his body was instantly covered in blood-red light, especially the demonic pattern on his chest, which seemed to come alive.

"Such a rich concentration of blood energy must be delicious."

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the giant man, Zhang Tie remained calm and instead became more interested in the man's body.

Seeing the growing tension between the two, Su San breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That blood-soaked man just instantly killed a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. His strength is clearly not that simple. If the two of them could fight to the death, I might not be unable to survive.

The old man beside him also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the big man had attacked the three of them, it wasn't as exaggerated as what happened to the bloodied man.

This blood-soaked man was clearly there to kill them.

With the strength of the Great Man at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, if they could kill this blood-covered man, they would have a chance to break through the formation and escape.

If they could both suffer heavy losses, that would be even better.

The fellow Daoist next to him clearly has a grudge against that big man. If the two of them join forces, they might be able to turn the tables and kill him.

Thinking it over, the old man slowly approached Su San and took the initiative to speak.

"Fellow Daoist, were you chased here by that burly man?"

Su San was very careful. She took two steps back, clasped her hands in a fist and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, what exactly happened here? And why did you clash with that demon?"

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on the two people in the distance.
