Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Bang——! !

At the same time that the Blood God Son spoke.

Ye Shuang'er urged the purple-black poisonous dragon and pounced silently into the air, trying to snatch Jiang Rao away when he was not prepared.

However, this action had already been seen by the Blood God Son. The latter chuckled and simply raised his left hand. The blood mist in the sky condensed into hundreds of swords, spears, and halberds, whistling towards Ye Shuang'er!

The dragon shape condensed by the little girl with poisonous mist was directly crushed after just one encounter.

And those blood-red swords, spears, swords and halberds, still swept through the sky with undiminished force, piercing Ye Shuang'er herself! In an instant, she was knocked down from mid-air, and countless blood flowers spurted out of her body!

At the critical moment.

I saw several golden chains rushing out from the surface of the river. Most of them were coiled and intertwined to form a huge shield, blocking the Blood God's swords and knives. The remaining two were wrapped around Ye Shuang'er's waist and arms, pulling her back to the surface of the river as she was falling from mid-air.

"you……?"

Ye Shuang'er looked back in surprise.

She never expected that it was this senior sister whom she disliked who saved her.

Qingluo didn't say much, but just glanced at Ye Shuang'er calmly and said coldly, "Don't rush in without thinking. This guy is very powerful. You and I can't deal with him alone now... Let's join forces to fight him."

"We'll talk about that woman later. Her body is with me, it's safe and won't be taken away by that guy."

While talking.

The golden chains in the air have fallen down, forming a cocoon-like barrier around Qingluo and Ye Shuang'er.

On each chain, golden-red flames danced, like fire dragons, roaring and winding, emitting astonishing light and heat.

The Blood God Son waved his hand again, directing the swords, spears, and halberds condensed from blood and energy. They pierced the air, carrying a monstrous murderous aura and slamming down upon the golden fire cocoon. Countless broken blades and halberds flew out from the battle group, but more swords and knives were quickly formed to replenish them.

"Oh, is this the method of the Divine Phoenix Clan?"

"interesting."

"But this is just an appetizer. Next... I will show you a little bit of my true strength."

The Blood God spread his arms.

The same aura of the eighth-grade Divine Transformation cultivation as Ling Xiuya in his prime was released wantonly.

At that moment, a hundred-foot-tall blood-red Dharma image rose from the ground, its thousand arms slowly spreading out, each holding a different weapon. The moment the center pair of hands clasped together, the water in the entire river boiled wildly, then surged back into the sky!

It only takes a few seconds.

The water level of this river, hundreds of meters wide, dropped dozens of meters. Countless streams were swept high into the sky, forming two "rivers" on either side of the Blood God Son, connecting heaven and earth. At first glance, it looked like the Milky Way hanging upside down!

When these two "galaxies" reach their highest point.

The Blood God snorted coldly.

The "Milky Way" instantly dyed crimson, then transformed into thousands of tiny needles of blood, as fine as raindrops, shooting down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it formed a dense mass that obscured the moon and covered the clouds!

Along with these blood needles, countless arms of the Hundred-foot Dharma Image also came down! ! !

"Ding ding ding——"

The blood needle hit the golden fire cocoon, causing a series of sparks to fly.

then……

“Bang bang bang——!!!”

A giant blood-red palm descended from the sky, repeatedly hitting the heads of the two sisters, causing the fire cocoon to explode and Qingluo's golden chain to vibrate violently.

A storm of smoke and dust swept in all directions, and the ground on both sides of the river continued to crack and deform. The terrifying cracks spread like spider webs! In the blink of an eye, they had spread to dozens of miles away!

At this moment, Qingluo's complexion finally changed. It gradually turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat began to form on the tip of her nose.

There is no way, the Blood God’s cultivation is still too strong.

Even if Qingluo was still at her peak form before hunting down Bai Yuan, she would have to go all out to fight him, and she would likely not win. Especially now.

Tonight, she has fought with three or four people in the Spirit Transformation Realm. The fact that she can still continue fighting is a manifestation of her strong endurance.

Seeing this, Ye Shuang'er pursed her lips and opened her arms. Under the frantic operation of the poison pill, a purple-black poisonous mist spread out, climbing up along the golden chains and blending with Qingluo's flames, transforming into a strange golden-purple fire net.

"……what?"

The Blood God looked surprised.

But it was only a moment of surprise.

Next, as the Blood Source Sect's leader thought about it, the hundreds of arms of the blood-colored Dharma image stretched out and grabbed the two sisters below. The huge palms had already wrapped the cocoon-shaped fire net.

Under the overwhelming pressure of their strength, even if Qingluo and Ye Shuang'er joined forces, they were unable to break through the encirclement created by the Blood God Son. Their available space was gradually compressed, and finally they were confined to a small space, relying on the golden-purple fire cocoon to resist the impact of the hundred-foot Dharma Image.

The creaking sound is as if next to my ears.

This sound was not only the sound of the golden-purple fire cocoon being overwhelmed.

Even Qingluo and Ye Shuang'er's bodies felt the same pressure as the fire cocoon, as if they would be crushed to pieces by the Blood God in the next second.

Just then...

"Shhh!!"

It was as if there was a sound of a sword exploding in the void.

——But actually not.

However, the next moment, the massive Dharma image's dozen arms suddenly and without warning severed. Instead of falling downward, the severed arms vanished in a bloody mist. Simultaneously, a massive wound appeared on the Dharma image's shoulder, extending nearly a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

"?!"

Qingluo and Ye Shuang'er were both stunned.

The Blood God's eyelids also twitched violently.

At this moment, his consciousness was in a trance, and a series of images from decades ago flooded into his mind like a tide.

……

……

Time goes back thirty years.

Bai Yuan opened his eyes in the dark sea of ​​suffering.

At this moment, she had removed her mask, regaining her normal appearance. She sat atop a giant elephant-shaped skeleton, slowly moving through the sea of ​​suffering. Surrounded by several other corpses, ranging from birds to beasts to aquatic creatures, she was a complete sight.

(Little waste, how long have I been in seclusion?)

Bai Yuan let out a light breath, and then asked silently in his heart.

After a brief silence, the little waste's voice sounded deep in her mind:

[According to the host's sense of time, about two and a half years]

[However, the flow of time at the junction of life and death is different from that in the outside world. If converted into outside time, it should be about two and a half months.]

"Is this so..."

Bai Yuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

She had long known about the different speeds of time flowing at the junction of life and death.

After all, it was for this very reason that Shentu Jixue spent "twenty years" in the Cangwu Abyss. He had already gone from middle-aged to old, looking almost buried. The difference in time between the two was ten or even nine times greater.

The same situation naturally applies to the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness], also situated at the intersection of life and death. In fact, due to its unique geographical location, the flow of time here is even faster than that of the [Cangwu Abyss].

For Bai Yuan, these two and a half years of seclusion and hard training have brought him huge gains.

Chapter 215: Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!

The biggest gain is naturally in the [Way of Time]—

As early as when he was in seclusion in Yinyue Mountain, Bai Yuan had some understanding of the [Way of Time], but he only had a superficial understanding.

Afterwards, she went to many places, including two of the three forbidden areas - [Cangwu Abyss] and [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness]; she also had an in-depth exchange with Gui Yuan; and she even died several times herself... well, "died" several times in the literal sense.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, after jumping back and forth between life and death several times, Bai Yuan's understanding of concepts such as the rise and fall of time and the six realms of reincarnation has deepened a lot.

However, most of these insights are fragmentary and have never been effectively sorted out.

Until this time.

Bai Yuan used the two years or so of solitude, free from distractions and external distractions, to stay within the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness], repeatedly pondering, reviewing, analyzing, and summarizing those fragments of insights, before finally eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, ultimately integrating them into a coherent whole...

In this process.

Her cultivation level has not changed much, and is still at the first level of Nascent Soul when she first came in.

This was a good thing. After all, Bai Yuan's current body was borrowed from the "Young Blood Kite." If the "Blood Kite" of this period suddenly experienced a surge in cultivation, it would likely cause significant deviations in the life trajectories of her, as well as those of Jiang Rao, Ye Shuang'er, Ling Xiuya, and the Blood God Son, who had intersected with her.

The changes in these characters will inevitably affect the plot of the "Asking the Immortal" world, allowing Bai Yuan to whitewash his actions across time and be noticed by the Heavenly Dao.

If that happens, it's hard to predict what the Heavenly Dao will do. Perhaps when Bai Yuan returns thirty years from now, he'll find his situation even worse than before...

Closer to home.

Although the physical body has not changed.

However, Bai Yuan's soul had been repeatedly refined and refined within the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness]. Whether it was the thickness, toughness, or overall strength of his soul, it had all been significantly improved compared to before.

It can be said to be a "rebirth" on another level.

Today, Bai Yuan couldn't claim to have surpassed Ghost Yuan's understanding—after all, the latter had spent twenty years in Cangwu County, possessing an unfathomable understanding of the Way of Time, a depth that remained undiscovered until its final demise. But compared to the deserted and estranged Blood Kite Demon Lord...

That’s another matter.

That's right.

She, Bai Yuan, had been in seclusion for two and a half years... and entered the realm of spiritual transformation again in the form of spirit!

"call……"

Bai Yuan let out another breath and patted the elephant under him.

As she moved, the corpse's eyes lit up slightly, and its long nose curled upwards, moving closer to her like a human hand, nuzzling her affectionately before retracting. Several nearby larger demons also flapped their wings or claws, making similar movements.

——This is the second gain from this retreat.

During this period of time, Bai Yuan used the spare time from his cultivation to successively attack the skeletons of monsters in the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness], and has already collected the corpses of more than ten monsters.

Among them, those with the lowest cultivation level are all in the late Nascent Soul stage.

And about half of them are the corpses of great demons in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Unfortunately, these corpses had been dead for a long time, and their souls had weathered and decayed for tens of millions of years. Even though Bai Yuan used her understanding of the Way of Time and tried her best to gather them together, she could only restore the intelligence of a few monsters to about 50% of their original level, so that they could understand her verbal commands.

The rest are still in a confused state of the living dead and need to be driven by the sound of the [Netherworld Bone Flute].

But this is actually enough.

Bai Yuan had no real intention of raising a large army of demon beasts. He only wanted to keep a few demon beasts that could understand human language to serve as support, and the rest would be cannon fodder.

Anyway, there are a lot of these things, they are everywhere in the [Netherworld Sea of ​​Bitterness]. They are easy to come by, so you won’t feel bad if you lose them.

As for the third gain from the retreat...

"Chong-"

Bai Yuan pulled out the half-broken bone sword in front of him and flicked it lightly with his finger.

This thing is not a bone taken from a monster.

But it was the [Chengxin Sword Bone] that the predecessor dug out from Qingluo not long ago!

Now, Bai Yuan used the scraps of clothing he had torn from his body, along with a few broken bones, to wrap them together and fashion a simple short sword, which he held in his hand. Although it looked a little rough in appearance, the sharp and fierce aura contained in the "blade" was no less than any famous sword.

——That is clearly the prototype of "Clear Sword Intent".

now.

As Bai Yuan casually swung his sword, a faint force of law gently flowed across the bony blade, leaving a faint ice-blue mark in the air. It looked a bit like the color emitted when the "Extinguisher" spell of the [Exquisite Dice] took effect.

In fact, it is indeed the secret of "destruction".

Over the past two years, Bai Yuan has been using his free time to study the [Sword Cultivation Technique] and trying to combine it with other methods he possesses, such as the power of the [Exquisite Dice] and the [Path of Time], to develop a new version of the [Sword Cultivation Technique Plus].

The result...

Let's just call it a success.

It just needs one or two actual combats to verify it.
