Chapter 415 412: Master of Strategies, Invincible with Me
Two Blood God children transformed into faint streams of blood light, flying toward Qin Feng from the battlefield of Purple Mansion Cultivators several miles away.
Elder Shi did not attempt to stop the departure of the two Blood God children, instead, he took the opportunity to intensify his offensive.
He did not believe that Qin Feng, with his strength, would have trouble dealing with just two Blood God children, who had no spiritual intelligence and only knew how to pounce on their opponents with peculiar powers.
In fact, if that Elder of the Blood God Sect opposite him recognized Qin Feng, he certainly would not have easily sent those two Blood God children to face Qin Feng.
It was precisely because of trust in Qin Feng's reputation that Shi Chahai let the opponent send the Blood God children to Qin Feng's side. He, on the other hand, went all out, trying to directly slay his adversary.
This Elder from the Red Cloud Palace wielded a horsetail whisk in his hand and swung it repeatedly, scattering thousands of silver threads that entangled the nearby Blood God Sect's Purple Mansion Cultivator, making it difficult for him to extricate himself. Meanwhile, his other hand constantly formed spell seals, summoning an ancient Big Seal that transformed into dozens of yards in size, with immense oppressive force, it continuously smashed down onto his opponent.
The two Spiritual Treasures he wielded, one heavy and one light, one rigid and one flexible, worked in perfect tandem, using the whisk to entangle and restrict his opponent's movement, and using the Big Seal to imprison the space around his foe, forcing him into a head-on confrontation.
Each time the Blood God Sect's Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator forcefully resisted the Big Seal, his energy surged, causing great discomfort. Having lost the restraint of the two Blood God children, Shi Chahai instantly gained the upper hand.
Had it not been for the fact that this fellow's Dao Cultivation was not weaker than Shi Chahai's, he might indeed have had difficulty withstanding his assault.
On the other side, over a dozen Golden Core Demon Cultivators of the Blood God Sect surged forward, blocking the direction Qin Feng might flee.
They trusted deeply in their Sect's Purple Mansion Elder's Cultivation and were also very aware of the Blood God children's strength.
Despite having relatively single-method attacks, under the control of their masters, the Blood God children could nearly exhibit combat strength that was not inferior to ordinary Purple Mansion Early Stage Cultivators.
Even in terms of trickiness, they were even more troublesome than ordinary Purple Mansion Cultivators.
After all, the Blood God children had no physical bodies and could switch between intangibility and tangibility at will. Once they leaped onto a Cultivator, they could instantly plunder their blood, turning it into nourishment to enhance their own Cultivation.
It was precisely because the Blood God children were so fierce that the over ten Blood God Sect Golden Core Demon Cultivators were filled with confidence, believing that this Golden Core Cultivator before them was doomed.
They felt that even if this young man's strength was formidable and his Divine Skills could restrain theirs, he was still just a Golden Core Cultivator. In the face of absolute power, he would inevitably meet his death!
However, looking at the Cultivators in front of him trying to block his escape, Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly.
Escape?
When had he ever thought of escaping?
If he wanted to escape, why would he seek to eliminate these Demon Cultivators?
Moreover, the thought that just two Blood God children could make him flee, that was severely underestimating him.
Of course, those Demon Cultivators on the other side did not recognize him. They believed that mobilizing such a strong force to besiege him was already showing him considerable respect!
Bang!
A light sound echoed, as Qin Feng's halberd exploded the head of the Demon Cultivator who had first rushed out to confront him.
The guy still wasn't dead. From his neck, a great deal of blood light spewed out, attempting to reform a head.
Qin Feng sneered, the pure Holy Flame in his hand spreading along the Sky Battle Halberd, then with a thrust, he impaled the Demon Cultivator, skewering the opponent on his halberd, watching as the blood light on the adversary's body was quickly incinerated and purified.
A miserable scream emanated from the newly-formed head of that Demon Cultivator. Struggling to break free from the Sky Battle Halberd, Qin Feng shook it lightly and the halberd instantly turned into an Azure Dragon engulfed in pure white flames, with its tail held in Qin Feng's hand. After passing through the Demon Cultivator's body, the dragon wrapped around a few times, firmly entangling the Demon Cultivator into a bundle.
Originally, this guy wanted to completely transform into a Blood Shadow to break free, even if it meant severely damaging his Primordial Qi, but unfortunately for him, Qin Feng's Holy Flame was too effective against his "Blood Shadow Demon Technique." Only by remaining corporeal could he hold out a little longer.
Thinking of how a stronger individual had been thoroughly purified into nothingness by Qin Feng after turning into a Blood Shadow, he did not dare do the same and thus remained in physical form, hoping to last until the arrival of the Blood God children and to be rescued by his more than ten fellows from behind.
It was just a pity that even he couldn't handle Qin Feng when resorting to the powerful Blood Shadow Divine Power; expecting to contend Qin Feng with just his physical body was nothing but a dream.
As the Azure Dragon transformed from the Sky Battle Halberd spiraled around, it cleaved the flesh of the creature into several segments. Then, a wave of Holy Flame surged forth and managed to purify the creature's body entirely before its allies could arrive.
The two Blood Gods were not only incredibly swift but also moved in complete silence. If it weren't for their overly conspicuous blood aura, it would indeed have made for an excellent method for stealthy assassination.
Just as the Blood Gods came within a mere hundred or two hundred zhang from Qin Feng, it appeared they needed only an instant to traverse the gap and pounce directly upon him.
Suddenly, a loud roar resounded, coupled with a sense of pressure that intimidated all directions.
Immediately, a giant beast with a silver-white body unfolded its wings across the sky, appearing beside Qin Feng.
The White Dragon, sharing a mutual understanding with Qin Feng, was already aware of the situation outside and had received Qin Feng's orders. The moment it appeared, it unleashed a scorching Dragon Breath, enveloping both Blood Gods, from whom came a pitiful and agonizing wail.
Although this breath of Dragon couldn't kill them, the flames formed from the rich power of Light were enough to cause these monstrous non-humans considerable harm.
Afterward, the White Dragon spread its wings wide, roaring incessantly, as various Light Element Dragon Language Magic spells were cast in succession. Purification Technique, Soul Purification Technique, and even Healing Technique and other supportive spells – all were attempted by the White Dragon on the Blood Gods.
As expected, even the Healing Technique inflicted significant harm upon these bizarre and evil entities.
"An Otherworld Giant Dragon?"
"A Light Element Giant Dragon!"
"He's Qin Feng, the True Disciple of the Spiritual Snake Lineage from the Beast Taming Sect!"
The Cultivators of the Blood God Sect were all taken aback.
The Beast Taming Sect had been making headway recently, and their Otherworld Demon Beasts attracted the attention of many wealthy and curious cultivators.
Especially the Giant Dragons; when mature, they possess the power to contend with Purple Mansion Cultivators. Although not as formidable as true dragons of this realm, they were somewhat stronger than the average Jiao Dragons, and thus were highly sought after by many cultivators as soon as they appeared.
Moreover, the Beast Taming Sect even advertised that Qin Feng was able to defeat Chu Youhong precisely because he possessed a Light Element Giant Dragon.
Hence, the fame of Giant Dragons had spread wide in recent years, and many cultivators who visited the Beast Taming Sect's market had seen the likeness of a Giant Dragon. Naturally, there were those who described the appearance of a Giant Dragon, and these Demon Cultivators had certainly heard tell of the Giant Dragon's form.
Now seeing the shape and the aura of power of that White Dragon, coupled with the fact that within the Beast Taming Sect, only Qin Feng possessed a Light Power White Dragon, it was not difficult for them to deduce Qin Feng's identity.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The Elder of the Blood God Sect bellowed, "If he is killed, it will be a great achievement. The Demon Sects have long posted assassination bounties, and this boy is ranked ninth. Now, it seems his ranking should be even higher.
You all, at any cost, must kill him and prevent him from growing further. His Divine Skills are far too repressive to our Sect, and judging by his power attribute, he should counter many of the Demon Sect inheritances too.
When I return, I must surely report this matter to the Sect Hierarch and advocate for tripling the bounty reward. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to cultivate in the Blood Pool for three months. Just think of the benefits you will receive if you kill him!"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Cultivators of the Blood God Sect turned red-eyed with desire.
Leaving aside the rewards, merely the chance to cultivate in the Blood Pool was a tremendous fortune for them.
Those who had reached the peak of the Golden Core could directly ascend to the Purple Mansion by leveraging the Blood Pool's power, even if they had not comprehended the Power of Laws before!
For within the Blood Pool were inherent rules that could lead them to grasp fragments of the Laws, turning them into Purple Mansion Cultivators, albeit the weakest ones. Furthermore, they could continue to enhance their Dao Cultivation in the future!
Consequently, these Demon Cultivators were driven to madness.
Men die for wealth as birds die for food!
Cultivators would risk their lives for precious cultivation resources, let alone these twisted, ruthless, and vicious Demon Cultivators!
To them, battle and slaughter were daily routines, and death an ever-present possibility. With hearts as callous as stone, provided the rewards were substantial, they would not hesitate to go all out.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Almost instantaneously, over a dozen demon cultivators launched their frenzied attacks, each one recklessly charging at Qin Feng.
As long as they killed this true disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, what need would they have to plunder the cultivator families in the area? Just with the resources rewarded by their sect, they would have enough to live a carefree and joyous life for hundreds of years!
Under the relentless assault of so many demon cultivators, even someone as capable as Qin Feng had to temporarily avoid their onslaught.
Although the Holy Flame could suppress the Blood God Sect's demon techniques, it was not possible to fend off so many attacks.
Moreover, the supply of Holy Flame within him was limited; using too much would require him to convert True Yuan to continue casting spells. So, with a flash, Qin Feng descended to the ground, dodging most of the spells.
Before the remaining few spells could even reach him, Qin Feng's form suddenly changed, transforming into a rock giant over ten zhang tall.
After transformation, Qin Feng's body was devoid of flesh and blood, and entirely composed of pure Earth Elemental Magic Power. Since he was not a creature of flesh and blood, the demon cultivators of the Blood God Sect found their spells losing much of their efficacy. Even if the spells hit his rocky body and chipped off several pieces, they lacked the additional damage that would affect ordinary living beings.
The cultivators' faces changed as they looked at the rock giant Qin Feng had become, finding him somewhat troublesome.
After all, the Blood God Sect's techniques were mainly aimed at beings of flesh and blood. They found these kinds of rock-constructed beings as challenging as a tiger attempting to bite a hedgehog, with no way to get a good grip.
Fortunately, they had heard about Qin Feng transforming into a rock giant before, and they weren't immediately daunted.
In fact, motivated by the rewards offered by the elder, these demon cultivators had no intention of retreating. Even though Qin Feng had gained the power of a Purple Mansion Cultivator through transformation, they were not afraid.
In their minds, a regular early stage Purple Mansion Cultivator might not be able to subdue so many Golden Core Cultivators all at once, and Qin Feng was originally at the Golden Core Realm, just borrowing the power of transformation for his current combat abilities, which they assumed would not last long.
They felt that if they could just weather this phase and wait for Qin Feng to have to release his transformation, they could seize the opportunity to kill him while he was weakened.
As for how many of them Qin Feng would kill in the meantime, they could not care less. As long as they were not the ones dying—even if everyone around them perished—it was of no consequence. On the contrary, if they were the only ones left to receive the sect's rewards, that would be a huge gain.
So the demon cultivators aimed to use their advantage of nimble flight in midair to outlast Qin Feng's transformation time.
But it didn't take long for them to realize they had underestimated Qin Feng's power.
Golden Core Cultivation was, after all, Golden Core Cultivation. They couldn't possibly know the specific strength of Purple Mansion Cultivation without advancing to that stage themselves.
More importantly, after transforming, Qin Feng was not restricted to using only the Rock Giant's spells. He could use all the magical divine powers known in the cultivation world, which greatly amplified his might.
The rock giant's body was huge, and indeed, as the demon cultivators thought, its movements were relatively slow.
But with the Gravity Divine Power enhanced by Shrinking Ground to Inch, it was a different story altogether.
Powered by the immense energy in the demon core, assisted by the Earth Element Principle he comprehended, and supported by the original Power of Laws of the rock giant, Qin Feng maximized the Shrinking Ground to Inch spell. With just one step, he crossed a distance of a thousand zhang, arriving in front of a Blood God Sect cultivator. By activating the Gravity Divine Power, a sudden increase of weight tenfold made the cultivator's body stiffen instantly.
Then, before the cultivator could react, Qin Feng clapped his hands together, literally smashing the adversary into a pool of dark blood.
It must be said, however, that the Blood God Sect's demon techniques were truly powerful. Even in such a state, the cultivator did not die. The blood gathered together, attempting to reform into a human shape.
Seeing this, Qin Feng's hands emitted a yellow spirit light, and with a few rubs of his palms, he completely extinguished the demon cultivator's lifeforce with his strong Earth Element Magic Power.
The remaining demon cultivators blanched; they hadn't expected the transformed Qin Feng to be so ferocious.
They sought to fly even higher, to constrain Qin Feng from a distance.
But Qin Feng wasn't incapable of stepping through the void.
He was not a mere rock giant. With one step, he walked from the ground to midair, his fist carrying an incredibly heavy force that directly burst another demon cultivator.
Then, stepping through the void, moving with unrestrained might, wherever he went, he was invincible. Under Qin Feng's overpowering combat strength, barely an adversary could withstand a single exchange!
Before long, more than ten Golden Core Demon Cultivators were slain by him. This left a handful of Golden Core Cultivators, who had just heard the commotion and flew out from the market intending to assist, completely dumbfounded.
The remaining three or four Demon Cultivators swiftly came to their senses amid their terror.
They knew that they were no match for Qin Feng's strength and thus sought to flee.
Qin Feng once again stepped forward, planting his foot on a Golden Core Late Stage Demon Cultivator, crushing him directly from the air to the ground—exploding his body not to mention. A dull earthy Spirit Light glowed under his foot as he ground down a couple of times, making sure there was not a trace of life left in the cultivator's blood before finally lifting his foot.
"You guys, stop those Demon Cultivators. Don't let them escape," Qin Feng shouted to the crowd of Golden Core Cultivators who had just flown out from the market.
With so many Golden Core Cultivators, there was no way they couldn't deal with three terrified Demon Cultivators. If they somehow let them get away despite such an overwhelming advantage, then these Golden Core Cultivators would have no face left to show!
Although some of the Golden Core Cultivators were still a bit stunned, not all of them had received the message from the Purple Mansion Elders beforehand, but since they were facing Demon Cultivators, there was nothing to question. They promptly agreed and leaped into the air, each of them using an array of techniques to surround and beat a Demon Cultivator.
Qin Feng only spared them a glance before turning his attention away.
Under such a throng of cultivators' assault, the Demon Cultivators could only hope to survive if they had some hidden techniques up their sleeves. Otherwise, not even a Blood Escape would grant them a way out.
His gaze then shifted to the two Blood Gods being brutalized by the White Dragon.
By this time, the Blood Gods had become significantly weakened compared to before. If they could not replenish their blood to sustain themselves, their power would be further diminished, and if this continued, they would likely only be able to exert the strength of the Golden Core Realm.
Thus, they transformed into Blood Shadows, darting frantically around the White Dragon, attempting to burrow inside to consume the enormous amount of dragon essence blood to replenish their power.
If they could manage this feat, their strength would potentially skyrocket, possibly reaching the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.
After all, the dragon blood within the White Dragon was not only imbued with powerful forces but also the legacy of its origin.
Although the Blood Gods couldn't inherit the dragon legacy, this legacy represented a pattern of laws in itself, permeating the dragon's blood with an even more potent force of origin. Absorbing it would grant them benefits far beyond what regular Purple Mansion Realm blood would provide.
However, the White Dragon had been cultivating in the space within the Light Domain's Divine Artifact ring, familiarizing itself with the Light Domain. This familiarity allowed it to emanate its Light Power, and around its body, it faintly managed to simulate a circle resembling the Light Domain.
Though it was a rough imitation and lacked the repressive power of the actual Light Domain, it was enough to counter the Blood Gods. Together with its ongoing casting of Dragon Language Magic, it would not give them a chance to approach.
Suddenly, two sharp whooshing sounds sliced through the air, and two massive Stone Spears pierced the bodies of the Blood Gods.
Even though such physical attacks were almost negligible in damage to them, it caused their bodies to pause momentarily.
The White Dragon, connected in spirit with Qin Feng, was aware of his master's intentions. As the Stone Spears pierced the Blood Gods' bodies, and before they could recover, the White Dragon had already spewed forth torrents of Holy Flame that enveloped the two Blood Gods, purifying these depleted beings of corruption completely.
"Ah..."
In the distance, a Blood God Sect Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator who was fighting with Shi Chahai let out a pained cry.
With the Blood Gods linked to his spirit suddenly purified to nothingness by the White Dragon, his Divine Soul was harmed, and his cultivation became unstable.
"You younger generation dare to slay my Blood Gods; I will not share the same sky with you. Just you wait, one day, I'll make you regret this!" the Demon Cultivator bellowed, his figure flashing in an attempt to break free from Shi Chahai's horsetail whisk and escape.
"There's no need for the future, you might as well die now," Qin Feng coldly snorted; with just a few steps, he reached the escaping Demon Cultivator and slapped him back from nearly breaking free.
What do you think?
