Chapter 63: The Blood Demon’s Frantic Pursui (1/2)

t

Qing Yun was plunged into great fear by Qin Yu’s actions, and her heart was beating so fast that she thought it would leap out of her chest. She could roughly guess what Qin Yu wanted to do, but his plan was simply too crazy. He was basically playing with his life, but if he didn’t do so, they would probably die anyways. The only choice left was to gamble for their lives.

“Die! Die! Die!”

The blood demon’s roar caused the earth to quake endlessly, and his killing intent surged forth like a tsunami when he swung the Demonic Blood Devouring Blade. A barrage of swish sounds could be heard as crimson sword qi rushed forth madly, layering together to form a powerful tide of sword qi that hissed wildly. Space warped in its path, and only destruction was left in its wake; it was simply too dreadful. Soon, Qin Yu was enveloped by the tide, and his figure appeared so small and vulnerable that it looked like he wouldn’t be able to survive a single strike. The sword hadn’t even reached him, but his body was already warped by the sword light, and he looked as if he would be torn to shreds.

“No——!” A hysteric scream escaped from Qing Yun as she recklessly rushed forward, only for her to be pulled back by Mo Badao.

“Do you not want to live anymore?!” Mo Badao shouted.

“Get lost, it’s not your business!” Qing Yun seemed to have gone mad as she fiercely flung off Mo Badao’s hand.

Boom! The gigantic wave of sword qi slammed into the location where Qin Yu was standing at, destroying everything around it. The sword qi’s momentum didn’t slow down at all as it directly struck against the gate, causing it to tremble violently before splitting into two pieces and collapsing on the floor with a loud crash.

“Ahh!”

A cacophony of screams rang out. The berserk qi continued surging forth and swept everything away. Qing Yun bore the brunt of the attack and was sent flying away powerlessly. Mo Badao, Li Yijian and Dugu Feiyan were also caught up in the wave and were sent flying far away, their screams echoing in the air.

A spirit tool’s attack was simply too dreadful.

A hoarse, almost unhuman laughter came from the blood demon. “Die, you will all die!”

“Qin Yu……” Qing Yun clenched her teeth as she relied on her strong willpower to lift her head from the floor. Her beautiful eyes stared in Qin Yu’s direction only to find that there wasn’t a single trace of him. A teardrop silently rolled down her face, as she was subsumed in her grief. She suddenly felt an unspeakable pain in her heart, as if she had lost someone special in her life. She didn’t understand why it hurt so much and for some inexplicable reason, she only wanted to see that young man’s figure in front of her.

Qing Yun’s movement attracted the blood demon who suddenly turned around, and the Demonic Blood Devouring Sword released a dreadful glow of crimson sword qi, which flew toward the four sprawled on the floor.

The way to escape was just right there, but it was so close yet so far. Normally, he would only need a breath’s time to traverse the short distance, but right now, he felt that the destination was impossible to reach. Under the monster’s bloody gaze, he didn’t dare to show the slightest trace of rebellion. He could only silently wait for his death and wallow in despair, despair at his powerlessness.

The others were all the same. Right now, there was only a gloomy sense of despair in the air, and all they could do was powerlessly wait for their deaths.

“Shahaha! Die!” The blood demon’s sword was about to swing down when a powerful wave of killing intent surged towards him.

“Oi, you piece of shit, Laozi still hasn’t died yet. Die!” A loud shout suddenly came from the gate behind the blood demon. His voice was still echoing in the room when the sky was filled with strands of crimson sword qi madly charging forth and swallowing the entire room.

The blood demon released another series of roars, and before he turned to face his opponent, his blade had already struck backward. Incomparably powerful sword qi sliced apart the crimson strands. A huge crack appeared as the blood demon charged out to fight with the one who had just insulted him.

After the blood demon left, the sense of death that had oppressed the four slowly disappeared. They gasped heavily, releasing sighs of relief as an emotional, joyful feeling spread throughout their bodies as a result of escaping from their close brush with death.

Qing Yun cried tears of joy. It wasn’t because she was happy that she escaped from death, but rather because Qin Yu was still alive. The one who had roared just now was precisely Qin Yu.

Mo Badao got up and walked to Qing Yun, his black eyes flickering. “Are you alright?”

Mo Badao’s heart was clear that Qin Yu could’ve just left alone earlier. The life and death of those within the pagoda shouldn’t have concerned him. Had he been in Qin Yu’s place, he definitely would’ve left immediately.

But Qin Yu didn’t leave, and he chose to fight against the blood demon without any regard for his life, to give them the chance to live. He definitely did this only for Qing Yun’s sake. If it wasn’t for Qing Yun, they would’ve undoubtedly died today. Therefore, Qing Yun had indirectly saved their lives.

As his benefactor that saved his life, Mo Badao at least had to care for her. Although many people called him a demonic cultivator, and he had a naturally cold and ruthless disposition and was not somebody one could easily approach, his heart was actually a lot stronger and better than most of those seemingly kind and sentimental beings.

For example, Dugu Feiyan and Li Yijian. They saw that the gate was open and that the blood demon had already left, and so they immediately crawled up and fled for their lives. They didn’t even give them a single glance. If it wasn’t for the urgency of fleeing to protect their lives, they probably would’ve teamed up to try and kill Qing Yun again.

“I’m… fine.” Qing Yun got up with difficulty and replied to Mo Badao softly.

“If you’re fine, that’s good. Let’s go.” After saying this, he started to walk forward, tightly following the two’s pace ahead as they went to the exit.

Outside, Qin Yu had been frantically running away the entire time and already escaped from the mountain peak where the Slaughter Array was located. However, the blood demon behind him never stopped chasing him, roaring in pursuit unceasingly, like he was a mad dog. From time to time, a devastating attack of sword qi would explode behind Qin Yu, causing him neverending trouble. If it wasn’t for him having comprehended the spiritual nature of wind, even if he had ten lives, he still would’ve died.
