Chapter 1213: Divine Light Reappears

Qin Sang had never crossed hands with Old Devil Ye before, but judging from the Snake King’s expression, it had to be true.

Old Devil Ye, who had emerged from Blood Lake, carried an aura even stronger than the Snake King’s. His cultivation was beyond doubt, he had stood at the peak of the middle stage of the Spiritual Infant Realm, a true top-tier expert.

To Qin Sang, Old Devil Ye felt even more dangerous than the three alliance leaders he had seen before the inner hall of Seven-Kill Hall.

He did not know whether Old Devil Ye on the front lines had secretly returned, or if there were truly two Old Devil Ye's.

An external incarnation? A second primordial spirit? Or some other similar secret technique? Qin Sang’s thoughts had raced.

If Old Devil Ye truly possessed another incarnation of equal cultivation, then he would be the undisputed number one expert of Beichen Realm.

Qin Sang had only intervened to seize the treasure after confirming it was safe, yet just as he was about to withdraw, a formidable enemy had appeared and cut off his path.

For some reason, Old Devil Ye had been hiding within Blood Lake, and even the Sky-Eyed Butterfly had failed to detect anything unusual inside it.

Qin Sang could only feel fortunate that he had not hesitated before acting, and had struck like lightning the moment he moved.

Old Devil Ye likely had not expected an uninvited guest to suddenly appear and disrupt their plans.

Otherwise, if he had been discovered in advance, with preparations laid and a trap set, Qin Sang’s situation would have been far more dangerous than it was now.

Caught off guard, Qin Sang and the Snake King had watched helplessly as Daisut Lu and Cold Lizard were swallowed by the blood-colored water.

Splash! The source of the blood water had not been the Blood Lake. It had seemed to surge out from the void, forming a vast crimson river in an instant, completely cutting off their retreat.

Looking at the raging waves, both Qin Sang and the Snake King had felt a chill in their hearts, an instinctive sense of dread.

After being swallowed, Cold Lizard and Daoist Lu had shown no reaction at all, as if they had no power to resist. It was unclear what state they were in now.

Was Old Devil Ye truly so terrifying, capable of instantly killing a Transformation Realm demon king and a middle-stage Spiritual Infant cultivator?

Compared to the Snake King, Qin Sang had been under even greater pressure. A sinister wind struck from behind. The malicious spirit was already close at hand.

After revealing himself, Old Devil Ye had first unleashed a river of blood, then shifted his gaze onto Qin Sang, his eyes cold and sinister. Clearly, he had set his sights on him as well.

Qin Sang could only blame his earlier performance for being too eye-catching. Right before everyone’s eyes, he had forcibly seized a treasure from within the malicious spirit’s body and still managed to withdraw calmly.

To the Sin Abyss cultivators, he had become even more threatening than the Snake King.

At this rate, Qin Sang would soon be caught in a pincer attack, and his opponents were all enemies stronger than him. How could he escape from such a deadly predicament?

At the same moment Old Devil Ye appeared, Jiang Chenzi and the other two had silently spread out, surrounding Qin Sang and the Snake King. They had already prepared their hand seals and began activating the banners with full force.

Three banners were planted in the air, their auras linked together and connected with the blood below.

The power of the banner array generated a thick blood mist, which continuously surged into the blood river and spread outward, covering the void in a crimson veil.

Their ambition was immense. Not only did they intend to cooperate with Old Devil Ye to completely suppress Daoist Lu and Cold Lizard and seal the exit, they also wanted to lock down the entire space to prevent Qin Sang and the Snake King from escaping in any direction.

The situation had shifted in an instant.

Qin Sang struggled to maneuver under the malicious spirit’s pursuit. Seeing this, he knew that once the array was fully completed, both he and the Snake King would be trapped here, with little chance of survival.

Within the blood river, Cold Lizard and Daoist Lu still showed no movement. Their fate remained unknown.

This path was clearly no longer viable.

At the sight of the blood river, Qin Sang felt a chill run through him. Not knowing its nature, he had no intention of recklessly charging in and testing Old Devil Ye’s strength with his own life.

Decisive as always, Qin Sang immediately merged with his sword, changed direction, and charged straight toward Jiang Chenzi.

Seeing Qin Sang rushing toward him, Jiang Chenzi showed no trace of panic. A cold smile had appeared on his lips as his spiritual consciousness instantly communicated with the other two.

The three banners shifted, locking onto Qin Sang as the power of the array concentrated in his direction.

Whoosh! The ebony sword blazed brilliantly as it struck again.

Sword light tore through the blood mist, aiming straight at Jiang Chenzi.

Jiang Chenzi’s gaze sharpened. Only when facing this sword directly did he realize how extraordinary it was. Even among top-grade astras, it was among the finest. Though he stood behind the banner, outside the array, he still felt a faint stinging pain after being locked onto.

Thick blood mist surged forward, suppressing the ebony sword.

The sword light was forced to contract, as if the ebony sword were about to be restrained.

Suddenly, the ebony sword vanished into thin air, and the Seven-Yin-Soul Killing Array reappeared!

Qin Sang drove the ebony sword, empowered by the sword array, tearing through the blood mist as he surged forward with explosive force.

However, they were facing a combined attack of three Spiritual Infant experts. The ebony sword alone could not hold them off. Qin Sang had only recently reached the Spiritual Infant Realm, and even the Seven-Yin-Soul Killing Array had its limits.

Meanwhile, the twelve devilish banners continued to revolve around Qin Sang. The Devilish Flames of Nine Hells spread out behind him, making him appear like a devilish monster emerging from a sea of black fire.

Behind him, a tortoise shell hovered, emitting rhythmic thumping sounds and radiating a gentle black water power, like a massive shield.

This had been a measure of necessity. Qin Sang had relied on both the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells and the Nine-Life Black Tortoise Shell to barely protect himself from the malicious spirit’s relentless attacks.

Both of these treasures were necessary.

Seeing the ebony sword being suppressed, Qin Sang was about to pour in more true essence when a world-shaking saber light suddenly slashed out from his side!

The Snake King finally made his move! Qin Sang nodded inwardly.

Earlier, when making his decision, he had secretly sent a message to the Snake King, explaining that this path was blocked and that he knew of another escape route.

But he had not been certain what choice the Snake King would make.

After all, the Snake King had come here with Daoist Lu and the others in search of treasure. They naturally trusted each other more, and the exit had been right below. As long as they broke through the blood river’s blockade, they could escape.

Fortunately, the Snake King had ultimately chosen to trust him. The black saber followed closely behind the ebony sword, slashing toward Jiang Chenzi.

Its momentum was no weaker than the ebony sword. The hundred-zhang saber light resembled a spatial rift. The ease on Jiang Chenzi’s face vanished, replaced by full seriousness.

The divine patterns on the three banners intertwined as endless blood surged forth, forming layer upon layer of blockade.

The ebony sword and the black saber advanced side by side, jointly breaking through the blockade, but at the same time, their own power was being rapidly consumed. Just as they were about to break through and strike Jiang Chenzi, they seemed to be running out of strength.

The smile returned to Jiang Chenzi’s face. He was about to activate the array and force them back when his expression suddenly froze.

The dim sword body of the ebony sword flickered, and in an instant, a streak of blood light burst forth.

They were all too familiar with this kind of blood light. It was the Blood Defilement Divine Light!

In order to accomplish everything in a single stroke, Old Devil Ye had gone to great lengths to gather Infinite Blood Mulberry Wood, barely assembling enough to form the Defiled Blood Array. His efforts had not been in vain. In the Ziwei Palace, he had instantly crippled most of the astras belonging to the cultivators of the two domains.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the news had leaked. Despite destroying so much precious spiritual wood, the ambush had achieved only mediocre results, and it had eventually devolved into a prolonged war lasting over a century.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye... This thought suddenly arose in Jiang Chenzi’s mind.
