Xiao Chen had always been swift and decisive, ready to kill without hesitation.
When it was time to fight, he would fight to his heart’s content.
When it was time to retreat, he would retreat without dragging his feet.
Xiao Chen’s words dealt a considerable blow to Sang. However, Sang could not be blamed. Although he inherited the memory of the Propping Mulberry Tree, he was merely ten years old. His experience in the world and worldly wisdom could not compare to Xiao Chen’s.
“Silly bird, it’s up to you now.”
Xiao Chen sat down and patted the Demon Blood Vulture’s head. Then, it screeched proudly.
The Demon Blood Vulture turned into a scarlet beam of light, tearing through the air. Its long, flaming tail feathers left an overwhelming trail of demonic flames as it charged back.
Sang felt somewhat stupefied. “We…we are charging back? Shouldn’t we plan this out and discuss some measures?”
A bright light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He shook his head and said, “There’s no time. You go to the Propping Mulberry Tree and do your best to help it to undergo Nirvanic Rebirth and protect its inheritance. I will buy time for you. You don’t have to care about anything else. You only need to trust me.”
“Right.”
Sang nodded vigorously, no longer hesitant. At this moment, Xiao Chen had convinced him.
“Whoosh!”
The berserk speed of the Demon Blood Vulture generated particularly violent sonic booms, shaking space. The piercing sonic booms were no softer than thunder.
Compared to Xiao Chen’s silent departure, he had no intention of hiding when he returned. What he needed were speed and time.
As the Bloodsucking Vines dealt with Bai Lixuan, the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows, Chen Yun, You Yuanliang, and the others noticed the beam of scarlet light in the sky.
Close on its heels, thunderous sonic booms arrived.
Everyone’s eardrums shook. Even their hearts trembled. Their internal organs churned, and their blood vessels swelled up.
“A Demon Blood Vulture!” Bai Lixuan cried out, shocked and incredulous.
A Demon Blood Vulture appeared. What’s going on?
Could it be…
A terrifying thought appeared in everyone’s minds.
The pale, middle-aged man on the Flying Dragon Snake sensed intense emotional fluctuations in the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows beside him.
The mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows stared at the Demon Blood Vulture from under his cloak. His emotions built up pressure like a volcano did, wanting to burst forth when the conditions were right.
“It can’t be! No way! I saw him being blasted into nothing by the lightning tribulation. Perhaps the Demon Blood Vulture flew back by itself, now a masterless demonic pet.” The mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows consoled himself.
However, as though to deal a blow to the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows, a familiar white-clad figure jumped down from the Demon Blood Vulture.
Fluttering long hair, a handsome face, delicate facial features, a calm air, and a hidden sharpness, if it was not Xiao Chen, who else could it be?
“I don’t believe it!”
The suppressed emotions of the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows immediately erupted.
First, he was interrupted just as he was about to obtain the Five Element Divine Lightning. Then, his greatest enemy, whom he thought was already dead, suddenly reappeared.
He found the successive blows unbearable.
“Xiao Chen, even if you did not die earlier, you will die today!”
Losing control of his emotions, the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows no longer cared about anything. He soared into the air and charged at the descending Xiao Chen.
Such actions startled everyone.
To think that this person dared to leap up while the Bloodsucking Vines were attacking. Was he crazy?
“Mister Gong!” the pale, middle-aged man cried out. He hesitated for a moment but did not follow in the end; he did not wish to die.
Xiao Chen, I’ve already reached the inside of the divine tree. The Bloodsucking Vines’ main body is currently moving underground. It will appear soon. At that time, the thunderflame will not be able to stop the main body. Be careful. Sang’s voice rang out by Xiao Chen’s ear.
Xiao Chen replied, It’s fine. Just do your best.
“Whoosh!”
No sooner had Xiao Chen sent the voice projection than a figure rushed towards him. That mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows charged over.
Xiao Chen’s heart sank, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
No wonder I find this person strange and his expressions when he looks at me feel off.
So, he is a person of the Black Lotus Church. He is even able to call out the Black Lotus Demonic Buddha. It seems he has a deep relationship with the Black Lotus Church.
“Firmament’s Rage!”
Xiao Chen showed no intention of dodging. He snorted coldly and threw a palm strike, instantly executing Firmament’s Rage.
When Xiao Chen raised his hand slightly, the sky shook. Ripples appeared in space. The incredibly fast speed of the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows slowed instantly when the ripples swept through him.
The other party’s figure turned into a crawl before Xiao Chen’s eyes.
“Get down!”
Xiao Chen spread his fingers. Lightning flashed, and saber Qi surged out. He forced the other party down with one palm strike.
“This… How can this be?”
Bai Lixuan revealed shock. He could not imagine that the mysterious man shrouded in blood shadows, who gave everyone a headache, could not last even a single move against Xiao Chen, smashed down by a palm strike.
“Firmament’s Rage! That is a Dragon Race Secret Technique, the one which no one has managed to practice for the past few thousand years, aside from the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s First Palace Master,” You Yuanliang cried out as shock flashed in his eyes.
Uncle Qin, Bai Lixuan’s protector, also felt shocked. A brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
Young Master, this person is not simple. He is quite terrifying, Uncle Qin said in secret.
“Pu ci! Pu ci!”
Before everyone could sigh, the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows, who was smashed down by Xiao Chen, instantly crashed through countless Bloodsucking Vines.
The cloak around that mysterious man’s body exploded loudly.
However, the scene that Xiao Chen expected did not appear. The mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows charged back at him at an even faster speed than before.
That mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows did not even leak out a drop of blood.
“What’s going on?”
“He is purely a soul! Could he be the will clone of some major character?!”
A strong Soul Energy cultivator could materialize their will of soul into a will clone that could rival a cultivator.
However, it looked like this mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows was somewhat peculiar. The might of his will of soul was not as strong as everyone imagined.
“Xiao Chen, if this were somewhere else, I might fear you a little. However, you will die today!” The mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows laughed maniacally as he charged at Xiao Chen.
The mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows was right. At this moment, Bloodsucking Vines had already spread throughout the ground. If Xiao Chen continued moving about in the air, the Bloodsucking Vines would attack him.
On the other hand, the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows did not have a physical body, so he did not share this concern.
Xiao Chen’s heart sank. He wanted to take out the Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant and directly subdue this mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows.
However, there were many eyes here. Hence, Xiao Chen eventually gave up on this thought.
Nevertheless, this did not mean that Xiao Chen could not deal with this person.
“Sun and Moon Shining Together!” Xiao Chen shouted, and his Soul Energy mysterious phenomenon manifested. A bright moon and a blazing sun rose from behind him.
A strong Holy Venerate Will immediately spread out from Xiao Chen. This placed incredible pressure on a soul body like the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows.
“Go back!” Xiao Chen shouted coldly as he showed might without anger. Using the Sun and Moon Shining Together mysterious phenomenon, he infused his Soul Energy into the Dragon Blood Soul Breaking Finger.
Xiao Chen executed a finger attack, and a beam of scarlet light instantly pierced through this person’s head.
The mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows felt like his head exploded. It was like he, a pure soul body, ran into a lightning strike.
Like a broken kite, the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows fell, wobbling as he did so, shocking cracks appearing on the surface of his body.
After knocking this person back, Xiao Chen focused on the Five Element Divine Lightning streaking through the air. That was his target.
“What is he trying to do?”
Xiao Chen suddenly stopped moving, standing still after he knocked back the mysterious man shrouded in bloody shadows.
Bai Lixuan and the other felt stunned. Is he seeking death?
If Xiao Chen remained hovering in the air, he would be sucked dry by the Bloodsucking Vines in the next moment.
“Divine Dragon War Body!” Xiao Chen roared, and his entire body swelled up, turning into a small giant.
Xiao Chen gave off a strong Dragon Might, showing a pressing deterrence.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
Xiao Chen’s Divine Dragon War Body blocked the Bloodsucking Vines shooting at him. His Vital Qi surged, and his body shook.
A clear shattering sound boomed out, and these Bloodsucking Vines broke into pieces.
Xiao Chen, it will appear soon. The Bloodsucking Vines’ main body will appear soon. Sang’s somewhat anxious voice rang in Xiao Chen’s ears. Clearly, he had not experienced such a scene before and felt slightly uneasy.
Sang feared something happening to Xiao Chen. He feared failing to help the Propping Mulberry Tree finish its Nirvanic Rebirth. He feared…worried too much. He could not help his anxiety and worry.
Don’t worry, Xiao Chen replied calmly, soothing Sang’s emotions.
Then, Xiao Chen sighed. Can I succeed?
Xiao Chen did not know. However, since he already made his choice, he would do his best and bet on his Thunder Dao.
“He wants to subdue the Five Element Divine Lightning!”
Bai Lixuan suddenly startled to his senses. He shouted, “Quick! Quick! Quick! Uncle Qin, don’t let him succeed. Kill him!”
“You are seeking death!” Uncle Qin also became enraged. To think that Xiao Chen dared to snatch the Five Element Divine Lightning from under his nose.
Truly reckless!
“Boom!”
However, before Uncle Qin, who had just taken to the air, could react, the ground burst apart, and a terrifying evil aura soared into the sky.
Uncle Qin looked down into the crack and was startled to see a small portion of the Bloodsucking Vines’ main body.
Uncle Qin immediately shrank back in fear. He picked up Bai Lixuan and quickly ran away without a care.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Like it was the end of the world, the evil aura soared, darkening the sky.
Aside from the five bolts of divine lightning still emitting weak electric light, the world got dyed pitch-black.
The Bloodsucking Vines’ main body was going to appear. Fear gripped the hearts of You Yuanliang and the others. Without thinking, they all turned and ran.
They fled however fast they could.
“Dao!”
While they lost themselves in panic, a shout suddenly rang out in the ears of Bai Lixuan and the others.
This voice was not resonant, just the simple, plain, and clear word: Dao.
Strangely, the voice that rang out made everyone feel at peace. Their horrified emotions immediately calmed down.
Whose voice was it?
Whose Dao was it?
Bai Lixuan, Chen Yun, You Yuanliang, and the others could not help turning their heads back to watch. They saw a white-clad man in the air with a calm expression. A Dao disk behind him shone with a warm light.
Before the pressure of the evil might, the light could not be called resplendent or dazzling.
There was only that one person in this dark world who dared to release his Dao Might proudly and stubbornly before the Bloodsucking Vines’ main body. Regarding Dao Might or techniques, this person could not even compare to them.
However, his pureness of heart for the Thunder Dao surpassed everyone else’s. Everyone forgot their fear, looking dazedly at the white-clad bladesman in the air.
Whose voice was it? Whose Dao was it? Who shocked their hearts in the night sky?
