Chapter 882 - Army of the Blood Fiend (2/2)

“Tell me what happened when the Blood Fiend Sect invaded. What happened to the Grand Array that protected the city? I also gave the Grand Elder a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure, didn’t he use it?” Chen Fan asked.

The Grand Array that safe-guarded the city had a dozen layers and could withstand the combined might of a hundred Golden Core Cultivators. Even Chen Fan would have to activate the Sky-severing Sword in order to hack it open.

The force in that attack was nearly on par with that of a Heavenly Lord.

“Well…”

Everyone looked at each other in hesitation.

Xia Jinlong stepped forward and said with respect, “My lord, the Blood Fiend Sect had planned the attack for years. They were not alone; they came with the six major Fiend Sects. The Lord Blood G.o.d was the leader, and there were three elders and ten emissaries working under him. The Red Dragons were also among them. They sacrificed thirty billion Zhong Zhou residents’ lives to form the Six Reincarnation Blood Array, and eventually penetrated the city’s protection.

“The city was surrounded by a sea of blood with powerful Fiend Qi flying everywhere. Not even the Grand Elder could do anything to save the city.”

Xia Jinlong’s eyes became teary as he went on.

Zhong Zhou had a hundred billion inhabitants and a third of them had died during the siege. It had been a devastating blow to the Pure Essence Sect.

The retelling made everyone’s heart feel heavy. They would bicker with each other, but they were in it together when the Fiend blood Sect invaded. The death of so many innocent lives had become the glue that bound the major factions together while facing the invaders.

“Such savagery! No wonder they were driven away from the inhabitable lands to end in the wild no man’s land,” Huang Zhenting said with a clenched jaw.

“What about the Chinese people and the Xuanming Grotto-heaven?” Chen Fan asked.

The struggle between mankind and the fiends was a common occurrence in his past life. He had seen the rise of a galactic Fiend Sect that swept across the universe, turning lively planets into furnaces of souls. Meanwhile, the human race had shown equal brutality while confronting the Fiend World.

“The Blood Fiend Sect defeated all six major Grotto-heavens. Perfected Cultivator Taixu surrendered to the Blood Fiend Sect. As for the Chinese, I have no idea what happened to them. The Blood Fiend Sect blocked out all communications with them. You can ask Lord Red Dragon or the Blood Fiend Sect Emissary if you wish,” Xia Jinlong said in a deep voice.

The mention of his name made Lord Red Dragon tremble.

However, the two Blood Fiend Sect Emissaries were unfazed. Lie Shan even cracked a smirk and said, “Sure, I can tell you. It’s not like you can do anything about it anyways. The legions of the Blood G.o.d Sect surrounded the Old China Town, they might have already razed the city by now. The Sect Master ordered us to return to the central Heavenly Region, but our efforts were spoiled by the Heavenly Lord Qi. We must avenge our defeat by turning the Old China Town into a bloodbath.”

“How dare you!”

Lie Shan’s words shocked everyone.

Zhao Juexian landed a claw attack on Lie Shan, shattering his Divine Body. However, a second later, Lie Shan’s body returned to its former shape.

“You can’t kill me. I have the Fiend Art of Crimson Shadow. It’s a Heavenly Art pa.s.sed down from the Primordial Fiend. Only a Heavenly Lord Essence Neonate can harm me.”

Lie Shan let out a peal of laughter.

Unable to hold back his anger, Zhao Juexian showered Lie Shan with deadly strikes. However, regardless of how bad his injuries were, he could recover in almost an instant.

Many perfected cultivators from the Beihan Region were slightly embarra.s.sed by the development.

The Fiend Arts were truly powerful. They couldn’t even kill an emissary, much less the three elders and the Lord Blood G.o.d.

However, Chen Fan had seen it coming. Arts of the Blood Fiend Sect originated from the Blood Race. The Blood Race was considered the most difficult to kill among all other major fiend races, even more so than the Ancient Demons.

Ancient Demons could regenerate their bodies from one drop of blood.

Meanwhile, the Blood Race could simply regenerate their bodies from the Crimson Shadow. As long as the Crimson shadow was there, they could be reborn indefinitely.

“Perfected Cultivator, let’s use the Earth Fire Cauldron. It has been harnessing the underground poison fire for eons. I doubt they could survive that.”

Zhao Juexian fumed.

“No need.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

Lie Shan thought Chen Fan had given up, so he laughed and said, “Stop wasting your time dealing with me, instead, think about how you’re going to survive the attack of our mighty sect. We are just a taste of what’s going to come next.”

As soon as he finished talking, a giant blood dragon rose to the sky from the distant mountain. It was over ten thousand meters long and it stretched across the sky. Snarling, it flew toward the city.

When it was close, people finally realized that it wasn’t a dragon. Instead, it was a huge column of moving crimson shadows, each belonging to a powerful Blood Fiend Sect cultivator. They were all at the Connate Level and were over ten thousand in number. The hundred or so leaders of the deadly retinue were all at the Golden Core realm.

It was a battle formation consisting of ten thousand Connate Cultivators and hundreds of Golden Core Cultivators.

Such a deadly force could kill a peak level Golden Core Cultivator with ease.

Belligerent Frigid Qi swept across the sky when the dreadful army showed up. The ground trembled as the faces of many perfected cultivators lost color and life. Even Zhao Juexian had been seized by fear.
