Chapter 468 Capturing the Blood Demon Alive [Please Subscribe]

"What a formidable 'White-Haired Blood Demon' Ge Changsheng! As expected, any demonic cultivator who has ever been among the 'Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons' possesses at least one or two unique skills!"

When Zhou Chun arrived, she saw the figure fleeing quickly and her eyes showed deep surprise.

He had fought fiercely with this "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng on the battlefield many times, and originally thought that he had already figured out the other party's methods.

But who would have thought that this person had such a unique skill hidden inside!

If this person had used this ultimate move back then, he, who was only at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm at the time, might have actually lost his life at his hands!

But now!

Zhou Chun glanced at the five blood demons, then patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the Golden-Winged Tiger. He then had it continuously use the "Flash Sky Technique" to chase after Ge Changsheng.

The blood sacrifice that just catalyzed the five blood demons had drained sixty to seventy percent of Ge Changsheng's essence and vital energy, so he dared not use the Blood Escape Technique anymore.

Therefore, the Golden-Winged Tiger was more than capable of catching up with him.

Zhou Chun himself activated his magic weapon to attack the five blood demons and rescued the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai, whose consciousness had fallen into madness.

The Blood Demon was ultimately a monster catalyzed by absorbing Ge Changsheng's essence and vital energy. Although its supernatural powers were strange and difficult to defend against, its own magical power was decreasing with each use.

After Zhou Chun joined the attack, the monsters were quickly exhausted and returned to their original state of five bone blades.

After eliminating the five blood demons, Zhou Chun quickly cast a mind-clearing spell on the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai to help it regain its senses.

With Zhou Chun's help, Lei Jiao Bai Bai, who had once been in a state of madness, finally managed to gradually suppress the strange power injected into her body by the Blood Demon.

"Bai Bai, you rest here for now, I'll go avenge you!"

Zhou Chun comforted his injured pet and then hurriedly chased after Ge Changsheng in the direction he had fled.

On the other side, Ge Changsheng originally thought that after the five blood demons held off Lei Jiao Bai Bai, he should be able to escape with his life today.

Who would have thought that Zhou Chun would have another trump card in his hand: the Golden-Winged Tiger!

When he discovered that the Golden-Winged Tiger was chasing after him like a teleporter, he was terrified.

At this moment, due to the catalytic summoning of the Blood Demon, six or seven tenths of his essence and vital energy had been absorbed, and his actual combat strength was probably only equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

How dare you challenge the Golden-Winged Tiger, which is clearly extraordinary at first glance!

He didn't even care about the consequences of doing so, and recklessly activated the Blood Escape Technique again.

The Golden-Winged Tiger's "Flash Technique" is more sophisticated than the Lightning Escape Technique in short-distance maneuvering, but it is far less effective than the Lightning Escape Technique for long-distance raids.

Once Ge Changsheng unleashes his Blood Escape Technique, the creature that was chasing him from behind can only watch helplessly as the sun rises!

However, remembering that this was the first time he had served his master since advancing to the third rank, the Golden-Winged Tiger was absolutely unwilling to give up.

Therefore, although it no longer used the "Flash of Space" technique, which had a disproportionate cost to its gains, it still did not give up and instead flapped its wings to fly and chase after the blood-red light.

As a demon beast with wings and wind attributes, the Golden-Winged Tiger's flight speed, while not comparable to those of purely flying demon beasts, is still much faster than many demon beasts and cultivators of the same level.

And its sense of smell is also very keen.

Although it couldn't catch up with Ge Changsheng's escape light, it could easily follow his escape route.

After it chased him for a while, Zhou Chun also turned into golden light and caught up.

Then Zhou Chun landed on the Golden-Winged Tiger's back and used the "Magic Grafting" secret technique to forcibly elevate the Golden-Winged Tiger's magic cultivation to the third-tier high-grade, greatly increasing its speed as it continued to chase after Ge Changsheng's escape route.

After chasing for two or three hundred miles, Zhou Chun finally caught up with Ge Changsheng.

At this point, Ge Changsheng no longer needed Zhou Chun to capture him.

It turned out that the person had exhausted too much of their essence and vital energy and had fallen into a coma.

If Zhou Chun hadn't discovered him, he might never have had the chance to wake up again.

Of course, for him, it might be better to just die!

"That's good. With this survivor, we might be able to find out who leaked the information!"

Looking at the unconscious Ge Changsheng on the ground, Zhou Chun had an idea. He immediately took out a blood-nourishing pill and gave it to the other person to take.

Then, all the items on its body were taken away, and a sealing spell was cast on it before it was put on the back of the Golden-Winged Tiger.

When Zhou Chun, along with the prisoners, joined Lei Jiao Bai Bai and returned to the initial battlefield, the battle between the two Golden Core cultivators was still undecided.

However, it is clear that the owner of that fiery red escape light has gained an absolute advantage, and victory is only a matter of time.

At this moment, Zhou Chun also got a clear look at the person's face.

The man was an old man in red robes whom he did not recognize at all; he was probably not a Golden Core cultivator from Jing Kingdom.

His natal magic weapon is a fiery red feather fan, which can unleash raging flames when it is fanned. Its power seems to be no less than Lin Hongyu's [Flame Dragon Ring], and may even be much stronger.

The demonic cultivator at the Golden Core stage of the Yin Ghost Sect was completely powerless to fight back against him, and could only dodge and weave to defend against his attacks.

Upon seeing Zhou Chun return with Ge Changsheng captured, the demon's expression changed drastically, inwardly cursing him for being more trouble than he was worth.

Then, not wanting to get entangled with the old man in red robes any longer, he immediately shook the "Hundred Ghosts and Thousand Souls Banner" in his hand, instantly releasing the thousands of wronged souls and evil spirits contained within.

A mournful wail echoed through the sky, and a dark curtain of light instantly enveloped the area, which stretched for thousands of feet. Within the curtain, ghosts danced wildly, like a "night parade of a hundred ghosts."

"A mere facade of cunning and deceit!"

The red-robed elder sneered, then channeled his magic into the feather fan in his hand and fanned it fiercely. A burst of crimson flames erupted, quickly transforming into a fire phoenix that pounced towards the dark light barrier.

Wherever the fire phoenix passed, darkness vanished and all ghosts perished!

Before the red-robed elder could feel smug, dozens of black ghostly figures suddenly flew out from the dark light curtain and fled in all directions.

"Don't run, you devil!"

Realizing he had been tricked, the red-robed elder roared angrily and suddenly flicked his hands, sending countless fine, hair-like fire needles hurtling towards the black ghostly figures.

In the blink of an eye, all the false ghostly figures were pierced and destroyed by the flying fire needles, while the real demonic cultivator remained unaffected and continued to flee.

Upon seeing this, the old man in the red robe immediately and without hesitation transformed into a streak of fire and gave chase, his speed surpassing even that of the old man.

And so, the two chased and fled, soon disappearing from Zhou Chun's sight.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment before quickly turning around and charging back towards his headquarters.

Now that "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng has been captured and "Netherworld Prince" Yin Shaotian has been scared away, Zhou Chun no longer needs to seek refuge anywhere. He can go back and check on the situation at headquarters.

However, when Zhou Chun arrived at the headquarters, the scene he saw made his expression darken, and a terrifying fierce light appeared in his eyes.

All that could be seen in the former First Brigade's camp was bloodstains and broken limbs everywhere, and most of the buildings were destroyed, but not a single body was to be found!

Zhou Chun was no stranger to this situation.

This is basically the case with any stronghold that has been breached by demonic cultivators: all the intact corpses of the cultivators will be taken away and used as training materials for the demonic cultivators!

"Though I did not kill Bo Ren, Bo Ren died because of me!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.

Then, bowing deeply to the ravaged encampment, he said, "Brothers, rest assured, I, Zhou, will avenge you tenfold in the future!"

He lacked the ability to save the dead, but he could still kill the demonic cultivators who were in charge of this matter.

Since Yin Shaotian was able to find his base, he would naturally be able to find the location of the leopard-tailed witch through the Heavenly Spirit Legion's intelligence system in the future.

As a result, the Leopard-tailed Witch became Zhou Chun's second target to actively kill, after "Blood Fiend Prince" Yan Wuji!

Zhou Chun waited at the First Battalion's camp for half an hour before the first rescue team arrived. The leader of the team was the deputy commander of the Third and Fifth Battalions, who were from the same battalion as him.

Two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators arrived with over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators as reinforcements, making them a formidable force.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the daylilies were already cold!

However, they didn't seem to realize they were a step too late.

Upon seeing that Zhou Chun was the only one waiting on the ruins of the First Brigade's encampment, the two Purple Mansion stage cultivators who had come to provide support exchanged glances and immediately asked him, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, where are the enemies? Why are you alone here? Where are the other fellow Daoists of the First Brigade?"

"That's a good question, fellow Daoists! I'd also like to ask you both, since your respective bases are only three or four hundred li from here, why did it take you so long to get here?"

Zhou Chun looked at the two with a gloomy expression and said in a low, deep voice, "More than an hour has passed since I sent you two a distress message!"

Upon hearing his questioning words, the two men immediately objected.

The deputy commander of the Fifth Brigade immediately replied in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are mistaken. After receiving your report, we didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately gathered our men and rushed over!"

"But Fellow Daoist Zhou, you should also know that many of our battalions have been drawn away to participate in the attack on the demonic cultivators' strongholds. Even if we come to support the First Battalion, we must first make proper arrangements for our own base to prevent the demonic cultivators from launching a feint attack on our main base."

"Moreover, to prevent the enemy from encircling and attacking our reinforcements, they deliberately laid an ambush on us, the two teams dared not come alone. We had to communicate with each other and gather together before proceeding, which naturally consumed a considerable amount of time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy commander of the third brigade nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Hu is absolutely right. We haven't delayed at all. If Fellow Daoist Zhou doesn't believe me, you can wait for the commander to return and send someone to investigate this matter!"

"Hmph, even if you don't tell me, I, Zhou, will report this to the Commander myself!"

Zhou Chun snorted coldly, glanced at the two of them, and then decided not to waste any more words with them.

He also believed that the two men would not dare to deliberately delay the rescue, but they certainly did not go all out in the rescue.

He could more or less guess what the two were really thinking, so he had no intention of arguing with them or bothering to debate anything.

The two men were naturally quite dissatisfied with his attitude, but considering his fearsome reputation, they dared not continue to pursue him relentlessly.

After feeling foolish, they each led their men back to their posts.

About half an hour after these people left, a fiery red streak of light suddenly flew down to the outside of the First Brigade's camp, revealing the figure of the red-robed old man with the cultivation level of the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly bowed and said, "Junior Zhou Zhengchun greets Senior, and thanks you for saving my life!"

Seeing this, the old man in red robes waved his hand and chuckled, "Hehehe, young friend Zhou, there's no need to be so polite. I was merely acting on someone's behalf. If you want to thank someone, you should thank your commander, Fellow Daoist Wei!"

So it really was Wei Yong who arranged it?

Zhou Chun's heart stirred, but he said sincerely, "Commander, I will naturally thank you, but I will never forget your life-saving grace!"

"Ah, young friend Zhou, if you say that, I should feel ashamed!"

The old man in red robes sighed softly, a hint of shame on his face, and said in a low voice, "That demonic cultivator's escape methods were extraordinary. Although I severely injured him, he still managed to escape!"

After saying this, he glanced at the ruins of the First Brigade's camp and sighed again, "Moreover, I was unable to save the camp here, young friend Zhou, and many fellow Daoists lost their lives at the hands of demonic cultivators. I am truly ashamed to have failed Fellow Daoist Wei's entrustment!"

"It's not your fault, senior. You arrived quickly enough. It's just that my cultivation and strength are insufficient to protect my brothers!"

Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly, hurriedly taking the blame upon himself, not daring to truly blame his savior.

He knew in his heart that since Wei Yong had asked this old man in red robes to protect him, it meant that the two had a very special relationship.

How could he let the old man in the red robe bear the responsibility for the inadequate rescue efforts?

He then said in a low voice, "The deceased are gone. I have no other thoughts now but to avenge the brothers who fell today!"

The old man in the red robe was shrewd and experienced. Upon hearing his words, he immediately understood his meaning and nodded in agreement, saying, "Young friend Zhou is absolutely right. Life and death are unpredictable on the battlefield. Since we are powerless to save the dead, we can only do our best to avenge them and kill the enemy. Only in this way can we comfort their souls in heaven!"

"Exactly!"

Zhou Chun nodded in agreement, then looked at the red-robed elder with a serious expression and said, "This time, I captured the 'White-Haired Blood Demon' Ge Changsheng. This fiend holds an extraordinary position and may know how those demonic cultivators learned of my whereabouts and how they bypassed our defenses to reach our headquarters before their whereabouts were exposed!"

Upon hearing this, the red-robed elder immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Excellent! Then I will try to see if I can search his soul to obtain relevant information!"

I went back to my hometown today. It took more than eight hours by car, and I changed trains three or four times. I was really tired, so I can only write 4,000 words for now. I will make up the word count in a couple of days!
