440 Brother, Run Quickly

The red-clothed woman’s cultivation wasn’t ordinary. At this moment, her eyes flickered with sharpness. The blood lake behind her churned and an eye faintly appeared in it.

The vertical pupil of this eye emitted an intense ferocious intent. Its gaze seemed to possess the ability to suppress. As the surroundings were reflected into the blood world, it looked in Xu Qing’s direction.

Xu Qing directly ignored it!

This woman was only a Golden Core cultivator with one palace. With her second level emperor-level cultivation art and her own strength, she was undoubtedly on par with the two palaces. If it was any other opponent, they would probably be instantly suppressed by her.

However, she didn’t know Xu Qing’s strength.

Xu Qing had two Heavenly Palaces, but he was used to hiding them, so it wasn’t obvious. He also didn’t reveal his second-level emperor-level cultivation art.

If one didn’t observe carefully, it would be very difficult to see his true strength.

As such, it was impossible for the red-clothed woman to succeed.

Everything happened in an instant. Under the eruption of his cultivation, Xu Qing’s speed soared. He ignored the woman’s attack and arrived at the location of the drop of golden blood in the blink of an eye, grabbing it.

After putting it away, his body swayed and he sped into the distance. He even borrowed the repulsion force to increase his speed.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The expression of the red-clothed woman changed. Seeing that the Dao blood had been snatched away, killing intent appeared in her eyes. She raised her right hand and waved it. Immediately, the eyes of the evil ghost scythe opened again, revealing a scarlet light.

“You hid yourself very well. However, it’s just three palaces, I can also do it!” The woman bit the tip of her tongue and spat out some blood at the evil ghost scythe. A similar scarlet light flashed in her eyes.

“Litu inherits luck, and Dao marks are difficult to find. Mystic Nether Sovereign, bless and guide. Battle soul, descend. Help my sect to set off on the journey!”

These words were spoken in an ancient tone that sounded like chanting. As they echoed in all directions, the world seemed to be affected by some force and bursts of cold wind appeared.

These cold winds ignored the pressure here and quickly gathered around the woman in red. To be precise, they gathered around the evil ghost scythe in her hand.

The evil ghost’s eyes turned even redder under the cold wind. It was the same for the woman.

After the redness reached its limit, the evil ghost suddenly opened its mouth and bit at the woman’s arm.

At the next instant, the woman’s body trembled as though she was enhanced by some kind of power. When she lifted her head, a hint of sharpness appeared in her eyes. She lifted her right hand and waved it slightly at Xu Qing, who was speeding in the distance.

A hoarse voice rang out.

“Come back!”

This voice was like an old woman speaking alongside her. The voices overlapped, forming an extremely strange tone.

This secret art was like the woman in red guiding an ancient battle soul into her body, allowing her to obtain external support and erupt with even stronger combat strength.

The instant this sound rang out, Xu Qing’s body paused. An invisible force pulled him from all directions, causing his body to feel as though it was bound. It formed a pull that wanted to drag him toward the woman in red.

“Brother, be careful. This woman used the Litu Sect’s secret technique to guide a battle soul into her body!” The captain in the distance immediately shouted when he saw this scene.

Xu Qing frowned. He could sense that this power was more like a bizarre entity. Hence, the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness suddenly shone and in an instant, the bizarre entity power outside his body collapsed.

Xu Qing’s body swayed and he was about to continue leaving. However, the red-clothed woman’s attack wasn’t really to pull Xu Qing back. She clearly knew that the possibility of this happening wasn’t high.

Her goal was to restrict Xu Qing’s movements and buy herself time to catch up.

Hence, the instant she waved her hand, she had already rushed out at full speed, heading straight for Xu Qing.

At that moment, as soon as Xu Qing dissipated the restraining force on the outside, the red-clothed woman was already close. The combat strength of three palaces erupted from her body, forming an astonishing force that moved the scythe like it was dancing.

This scythe that was as long as a person looked real but it was sometimes illusory. Also, because its speed was too fast, it formed a black crescent-shaped afterimage, like it was about to slash apart the space as it reached Xu Qing’s neck!

The eyes of the red-clothed woman were filled with killing intent and confidence.

She had killed three palaces before.

The evil ghost scythe in her hand was a holy item of the sect. It was unique and had an extraordinary origin. According to the records of the sect, it seemed to be related to the holy land.

It could ignore all defenses. Even if the other party had barriers and protective items, they would be useless against the scythe.

At that moment, the captain’s voice rang out again.

“Brother, be careful. This girl is strange. I remember this scythe now. It seems to be one of the holy items of the Litu Sect. It’s said that it doesn’t really exist and can ignore defense!”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. He could sense how extraordinary this black scythe was and how astonishing this red-clothed woman’s secret art was. At that moment, his body suddenly leaned back and his speed erupted, narrowly dodging the scythe in front of him.

Although he dodged it, a suppressive force spread out from the scythe, causing Xu Qing’s cultivation base to become unstable.

This was the first time Xu Qing had encountered such a situation.

After the red-clothed woman slashed out, she immediately swept the scythe again. Her target was still Xu Qing’s neck.

A cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. As he retreated and dodged, he suppressed the chaos in his cultivation base and observed the scythe. Gradually, he could tell that this scythe indeed looked real but it was actually formed from the power of a spell.

After the other party brandished the fifth strike and the instant the scythe swept over for the sixth time, Xu Qing’s eyes revealed comprehension. He suddenly lifted his right hand and blocked the incoming scythe.

The blade instantly got close. At this instant, Xu Qing’s right hand suddenly turned illusory.

It was his Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art.

This changed right hand was in a bizarre nether state.

The bizarre nether state could ignore the power of spells. This was one of the innate talents of the Bizarre Fiends Race and was rare in the world. At the next instant, the scythe directly pierced through Xu Qing’s transparent right hand.

Killing intent flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. Under the stunned gaze of the woman, his bizarre nether hand grabbed the handle of the scythe.

The moment he grabbed it, Xu Qing tugged forcefully and borrowed the momentum to move forward.

The distance between them was the length of a scythe.

At that moment, as Xu Qing pulled and borrowed the force, the two of them instantly got close. The moment the expression of the woman changed, Xu Qing lifted his head and ruthlessly slammed into her mask.

The woman let out a muffled groan. At the same time that a crack appeared on her mask, Xu Qing performed a series of hand seals with his left hand. Immediately, the surroundings transformed into a sea and the Nine-Layers Howling Sea suddenly erupted.

The sea in the surroundings formed huge waves. As Xu Qing waved his left hand, the first wave whistled over from behind him, passing through Xu Qing and ruthlessly slamming onto the woman.

A protective light appeared around the woman’s body, blocking the first wave of the Howling Sea.

Xu Qing wasn’t surprised. The other party’s status in the Litu Sect was definitely extraordinary. It was inevitable that she would have such protection.

Hence, he wasn’t in a hurry. At that moment, the second, third, and fourth waves arrived one after another. Amidst waves of rumbling, the woman’s protective barrier distorted.

Her attention was all on the waves and the scythe that Xu Qing was holding tightly. She didn’t notice that as the waves covered the surface of her protective barrier, a large number of small insects were already lying on it, spitting out poison to invade and corrode it with all their might.

She didn’t know Xu Qing, nor did she understand Xu Qing’s attack methods, nor did she know how savage Xu Qing was. However, she could sense that Xu Qing was different from before. His right hand that was holding the scythe was like an iron clamp, causing her to be unable to shake it off no matter how hard she struggled.

Moreover, when Xu Qing’s right hand had ignored her scythe earlier, waves of emotions had surged in her mind.

Ever since she obtained the recognition and inheritance of this scythe in the sect, countless malicious people in the sect had died in her hands. After all, the Litu Sect wasn’t a good place. There were all kinds of lunatics in it.

If she wanted to survive there, even if she had relatives with decent statuses in the sect, they couldn’t protect her at all times. Hence, most of the time, she had to rely on herself.

All these years, she had done this.

Relying on her own efforts and killing, she obtained the corresponding status and respect in the sect step by step. She also had the corresponding freedom to go out.

Although she was still a little far from one of her dreams, no matter what, this scythe was extremely helpful to her.

As such, she couldn’t let go of the scythe.

At the next instant, the protective barrier around her body collapsed under the invasion of the little black bugs. The instant it shattered into pieces, killing intent flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the soul fire in his hand transformed into a black dagger that slashed fiercely at the woman’s snow-white neck.

Fresh blood spurted out but no head flew up.

The instant Xu Qing’s dagger got close to her, an extreme sense of life-and-death crisis erupted in Xu Qing’s mind. Every inch of his body was trembling.

Even the captain who was watching this battle from afar widened his eyes and gasped.

“F*ck!!”

“Brother, run quickly. There’s something wrong with this woman. This is the most difficult thing to comprehend in the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, the Grand Affairs Blood Domain! Even at the small success stage, it’s extremely powerful. It’s said that those who comprehend this Blood Domain have multiple personalities!”

“For every additional personality, the world in their eyes will lack a color. After eleven personalities, there will only be blood-color left, which is the mastery stage!”

“Is this person from the Litu Sect or the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect? She’s too strange!!”

The moment the captain’s cry of surprise rang out, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all. He abruptly let go of the scythe and retreated without hesitation.

Almost at the instant he retreated, a blood light suddenly erupted from the woman’s body and towered into the sky.

As this blood light shot out, the surroundings seemed to have turned into a blood prison.

A strange laughter rang out from the mouth of the red-clothed woman standing there.

“Hehehe.”

This laughter carried a chilling intent. At the same time, the woman lifted her head.

There was still blood flowing down her neck but the wound wasn’t fatal. She lifted her hand and touched it. When she saw that her hand was covered in blood, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes as she looked at Xu Qing.

“It was you who injured me?”
