Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

And their true identities are "Blood Puppets" who haven't yet fully completed their transformation!!

腹背受敌！

……

"grass……"

Bai Yuan cursed in his heart.

She naturally didn't know what was happening inside the blood pool. After all, she had already come to the outside of the mountain. However, the scene before her eyes was also a little beyond her expectations.

Although she had anticipated this, it was not until this moment that she truly confirmed the identity of the person who attacked. It was actually the leader of the Blood Source Sect!

This is actually reasonable.

Because there are only a few people in the God Transformation Realm in the Blood Source Sect, and the two hall masters, Gu Youruo and Xing Yan, were seriously injured in the hunting trip some time ago, and their cultivation has not yet recovered. In this situation, there are only two people in the God Transformation Realm who are still staying in the Blood Source Sect headquarters and can take action.

only……

This guy shouldn't be out of retreat yet, so why did he show up so early? It was clearly another Divine Transformation Realm cultivator who attacked him in his previous life... And judging by the intensity of that aura just now, this guy's current cultivation must have reached a terrifying level!

He could even sense that Bai Yuan and his group were currently wrapped in the shadow by the Shadow Leopard Demon's body!

"……Um?"

A fierce and cold gaze came over.

At this moment, Bai Yuan seemed to be staring into the eyes of the Blood Source Sect's leader for a moment.

then.

The giant palm that covered the sky and the sun came towards her, Ji Tingxue and the others. It seemed to want to eliminate them in the shadow state as well, just like the monks who were crushed into blood mist just now!

At this time, Ji Tingxue was ready to take action.

But Bai Yuan stopped her: "Don't move, let me do it!"

The words fell.

Bai Yuan bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the Chixiao Sword and Qingfeng Huasha. The blades of the two swords suddenly burst into green and red light, and shot towards the giant palm with a shrill scream!

It’s another “double sword combination”.

Although they had just used "Combined Powers," Chi Xiao and Qing Feng Hua Sha still had some spiritual energy remaining within them. This energy, stimulated by Bai Yuan's tongue blood, erupted with a force powerful enough to command the attention of a Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator. The bloody palm paused for a moment, and the sword energy immediately tore a gash in the palm.

Seeing the gap, Bai Yuan immediately passed through it.

And immediately afterwards, more blood clouds surged in from all around, filling the gap and chasing in the direction of Bai Yuan's escape!

Along with the blood cloud came a sound like rolling thunder:

"Come as you please, leave as you please, what do you think my Blood Origin Sect is?!"

Chapter 183 A Thousand Miles Chase!

"..."

Bai Yuan said nothing.

Although she was a little surprised by the appearance of the Blood Source Sect's leader, the current situation was not yet beyond her control.

In particular, her true identity had yet to be seen by the Blood Origin Sect cultivators outside. This was a gap in intelligence—the Blood Origin Sect had undoubtedly researched the Blood Kite's abilities and likely enacted targeted measures. As long as the other party was unsure of her identity, these measures could not be immediately implemented.

Even if the opponent's cultivation level is the same, there is still a huge difference between going first and going second.

Incidentally, of the group of cultivators Bai Yuan and his group had just rescued from the blood pool, it seems few were able to escape the tunnel. They were either killed or left behind by the "Blood Pool Guards"' counterattack, or are still wandering around in the tunnel, their chances of survival are probably slim. However, compared to their original fate, being able to die gloriously after a fierce battle seemed preferable.

at the moment.

As one of the few teams that successfully escaped the blood pool, as long as Bai Yuan could get Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er out of here, then this operation would still be a great success. After all, Jiang Cheng had already been brought out by her.

"Walk!!"

At Bai Yuan's command, the Shadow Leopard Demon's body unfurled, transforming into a long, black shadow. Its already swift speed soared even further, and in a single breath, it had swept past several mountaintops. Just before the blood-red giant palm closed, it escaped through its fingers.

In just a few seconds, it had traveled more than ten miles.

period.

Bai Yuan took the time to turn around and glance behind him.

All he saw was the blood cloud exploding once more, dyeing the entire sky a blinding crimson. This crimson swirled and shifted, forming a mountain-like Dharma image. Its six eyes slowly opened, its icy gaze sweeping across the surroundings like a physical object, meeting Bai Yuan once again.

Then, a ray of red separated from the blood cloud and formed a human-shaped statue more than ten meters tall, chasing after him like a thorn in the flesh!

——This move is exactly a magic spell from the "Blood Sea Demonic Scripture" practiced by the leader of the Blood Source Sect. It uses refined blood as a medium, and the body can be transformed into thousands, becoming immortal and indestructible!

Not only that.

The mountain where the blood pool was located collapsed in the next second, and another behemoth leaped out from it. Its body seemed to be made up of countless bones and blood. When it stood up, it was over a hundred feet tall. As soon as it appeared, it chased after them like a cloud!

In addition, there are flying swords rising in other places in the Blood Source Sect’s main hall, and demon cultivators standing on the swords.

Although the strength of this last group of people was far inferior to that of the first two, and some of them had not even reached the Nascent Soul stage, but because of their large number and quite a few of them jumping out from right in front of Bai Yuan's movement, they were actually closer to Bai Yuan than the first two.

"..."

Bai Yuan pursed her lips slightly.

Apparently, the Blood Source Sect's leader might not be ready to emerge from seclusion yet. That's why he didn't use his true form to appear, but instead used an avatar to hunt them down.

However, this guy's cultivation level is more than one level higher than the last time he appeared twenty years ago.

Moreover, even if it was just an external incarnation, they were all truly in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and their aura was even stronger than that of Gu Youruo and others in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. In life, they were just the Shadow Leopard Great Demon that had just entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If they stayed and fought him head-on, they would probably be shattered in just a few blows.

Even more troublesome is...

Shadow Leopard is almost time.

——The Shadow Leopard was "resurrected" by Bai Yuan using the [Netherworld Bone Flute], but the [Bone Flute] has a limited duration of effect. Normally, it only lasts for half an incense stick.

As soon as Bai Yuan entered the blood pool, he blew the bone flute and summoned the shadow leopard and the eagle demon; then he took Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er and made a big fuss in the blood pool; then he led the two of them to escape, and during the process he even exchanged two moves with the Blood God Son through the air... After all this, half an incense stick of time had passed.

The reason she was able to hold on until now was all thanks to Bai Yuan's forcible maintenance. The price she paid was that her mental strength was being rapidly depleted at a rate several times faster than normal.

It only lasted for a minute or two, but I felt more tired than the half incense stick before.

Although we can hold out for a while, it's only a temporary solution. If we can't escape the enemy's pursuit and find a safe place to stay before then...

Then the situation that follows may become quite dangerous!

“…Get out of here!!”

Before his sight, an interception net consisting of more than a dozen demonic cultivators from the Blood Source Sect had appeared.

Bai Yuan, who was in the shadow, let out a low cry.

Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er beside her seemed to have received the signal and both attacked at this moment. The former held the [Against the Cold Water] in her hand and slashed out dozens of sword energies in succession; the latter activated the poison pill, creating overwhelming poisonous smoke and a swarm of poisonous insects, swarming forward.

These demon cultivators naturally had no way of anticipating tonight's situation, so most of them had gathered in a hurry and failed to form an effective formation. Furthermore, most of their individual cultivation levels were only at the second to fourth stage of the Nascent Soul stage, far behind Ji Tingxue and the others.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides met, several Blood Source Sect monks were stabbed to death seven or eight times. Before their bodies could fall from the flying swords, they were covered by purple-black poisonous smoke. By the time they fell from the smoke, they had turned into a pile of dry bones and shattered into powder in mid-air.

The few who were not killed instantly were also seriously injured and had no energy left to stop Bai Yuan and his group.

Facing this scene——

"Roar--!!!"

A shrill roar came from behind.

It was the blood-red giant beast made of a mixture of bones and blood. It suddenly opened its mouth and let out a shocking roar.

With this sound, a visible and terrifying wave of air suddenly formed in front of it, rolling in a milky white spiral. From nearly a thousand meters away, it completely shattered every rock, tree, flower, bird, and even the poisonous smoke that Ye Shuang'er had just released!

It's too late, but it's soon.

Fueled by powerful spiritual energy, the sound wave's momentum was far greater than the speed of sound. The moment it left the mouth, it broke the sound barrier, forming a milky white wave that swirled in both directions. Like a massive javelin over fifty meters in diameter, it hurled itself towards Bai Yuan's group, pinning the Shadow Leopard's ethereal shadow to the mountain wall!

Of course……

The Shadow Leopard in its shadow state is immune to most physical attacks and cannot be restrained by purely physical means.

Therefore, the Shadow Leopard's body just fluttered slightly, and then it passed directly through the place where the "javelin" was nailed, and then continued to run away.

However, the few demonic cultivators from the Blood Source Sect who were also chasing after Bai Yuan and her group and were very close to them were not so lucky.

Because the size of the "javelin" was so huge, several demon cultivators were also hit a little. Just this little bit caused half of their bodies to be torn apart. The remaining half fell down in a bloody state and fell into the surrounding mountains and forests, becoming nutrients for monsters.

The blood-red behemoth did not pause at all after hitting its teammates, but continued to rush forward and chase.

the other side.

The Dharma image of the Blood Source Sect's leader also raised his right hand and made a "spreading" gesture. A ball of bright red blood shot out like flowers scattered from heaven, like countless bullets or fine needles in the sky, spraying towards the huge space in front of him, and had already formed a dense area.

Those blood needles seemed to contain some special power, and even before they came into contact, Bai Yuan felt alarm bells ringing. Ji Tingxue seized the opportunity and swung several sword beams from the shadows, but they were all completely destroyed the moment they touched the blood needles.

However, the blood needles that eliminated the sword light did not dissipate. Instead, they intertwined in mid-air, forming a huge and dense net of death, which closed in on Bai Yuan and his group.

Bai Yuan originally wanted to try to pass through the net directly, but as soon as the shadow leopard's body touched the edge of the blood net, it was burned to ashes!

exactly……

It wasn't a "burn," but rather the vitality within was completely drained away in a short moment! The part of the body that was in direct contact with the net became pale and emaciated.

That's right.

Bai Yuan had long felt that the blood needles all over the sky clearly contained the power of the law called "death", which was the same as the "death" in the [Linglong Dice]. However, he did not expect that the value of this power of law was far above the innate magical powers of the Shadow Leopard Clan, so that even if he entered the "shadow state", he could not pass through it smoothly.

If they forced their way through, it might not be impossible, but it would likely cause irreversible damage to Shadow Leopard and even Bai Yuan and the others hiding in its shadow. That price would be too high, after all, Bai Yuan only had a single corpse in his possession.

There was no other way, she could only order Shadow Leopard to quickly land on a nearby hill.

As soon as it hit the ground.

Bai Yuan put away the [Netherworld Bone Flute], and Ji Tingxue beside him helped stuff the corpses of the shadow leopard and the eagle demon into the storage bag. Then Bai Yuan moved his cat ears and used the "Shadow Passage" again, quickly wrapping up the two people and the tiger beside him, and drilled into the ground!

For a while.

All that was heard was a dense sound like rain hitting banana leaves, and then blood needles filled the sky, falling on the rocks and plants. Some of the blood needles also swept over them, and the hard rocks were instantly melted into magma, and the surrounding plants withered and rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After two breaths.

The Blood Source Sect's leader's dharma-image clone and the blood-red giant beast followed closely and appeared at the place where Bai Yuan and his group had just left.

Under normal circumstances, the pursuit would have almost stopped. After all, Bai Yuan had already burrowed thousands of meters underground.

but……

"……Ah."

After a brief pause of one second, the Dharmakāya clone sneered, and its figure actually disappeared into the mountain like a shadow, chasing after Bai Yuan and his group; while the blood-red giant beast continued to rush along the surface of the mountain, and its route was exactly the same as that of the Dharmakāya clone and Bai Yuan, except for a difference of distance.

The two sides continued forward, one in front and two behind, one chasing and one fleeing. A rough estimate is that they had traveled at least several hundred kilometers, perhaps even further.

Even in such an intense chase, the distance between Bai Yuan and the leader of the Blood Source Sect did not decrease much.

"...It really is haunting."

"Isn't it just that we rescued someone? Is it necessary to chase him like this?"

Bai Yuan was also speechless.

She had very little spiritual energy left in her body. During the pause just now, she hadn't had time to take any recovery pills, so she could only temporarily draw a stream of spiritual energy from the White Tiger to maintain her invisibility and rush towards the direction away from Mingku Mountain. At the same time, she was thinking about countermeasures.

Judging from the attitude of the Blood Source Sect's leader, he intends to kill himself here completely. In this case, escape is not a smooth solution to the problem.

Therefore, Bai Yuan began to increase its altitude, from the initial frantic underground drilling to getting closer to the ground. At this time, Bai Hu also smelled the breath of the blood-red giant beast and began to transmit information to Bai Yuan through the [Concentric Ring].

at last.

It is almost two thousand kilometers away from Mingku Mountain.

Bai Yuan estimated that this place was far enough that even if the Blood Source Sect's leader forced his way through, he would not be able to arrive in a while. So he brought Ji Tingxue and others out of the ground. Facing the Blood Source Sect's leader's Dharma image that was rapidly attacking from behind, a determined expression appeared on his face.

Bai Yuan had already put away the Bone Flute and replaced it with the Exquisite Dice. A dazzling array of star-track runes also rose in front of him, forming an impenetrable barrier overhead.

"what?"

Seeing the magic circle held up by [Galaxy Illusion Veil], the Blood Source Sect's leader seemed stunned for a moment, and then he sneered from afar;

"Are you finally willing to stop and die?"

This almost imperceptible voice of vicissitudes of life traveled hundreds of kilometers, like the "blood rain" from the sky, and fell into Bai Yuan's ears.

This time, Bai Yuan still ignored the other party, but just controlled the green and red swords to float beside him - but this was just a pretense. After all, the power of the "Sword Cultivation Technique" had been exhausted in the blood pool. At the same time, he pinched the [Exquisite Dice] at his fingertips, ready to throw it out at any time.

The cat ears of the [Moon Cat Earrings] also stood up on both sides of Bai Yuan's head, ready to activate the "Nine Lives Tracing Shadow".
