Chapter 404: The seniors of the group using misdirection

”Practicing your saber skills? Your words reminded me of something.” Northern River's Loose Cultivator took out a copy of the 'Daily Cultivator' from his robe and pointed at one of the articles. ”According to this article of the Daily Cultivator, a blood demon is about to descend onto the Earth. The place where it's going to descend just happens to be the northwest of China, which is approximately our current location. Given the time, it should be about to land. If our luck is good, it might even fall somewhere close…”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's eyes suddenly lit up. ”A blood demon? What is its rank? If it's only of the Third Stage, it wouldn't be able to take even one of my attacks.”
His Seventy-Two Swift Saber Strikes were incredibly powerful. Except for Su Clan's Seven, he wasn't afraid of any fellow daoist in the group that was still in the Fifth Stage Realm. If the cosmic demon was of the Third or Fourth Stage, he could defeat it with one blow.
”It should be strong enough to satisfy your needs. According to the predictions, it should have a strength comparable to the Sixth Stage Realm. Given the special const.i.tution of cosmic demons, even if it's only in the early period of the Sixth Stage, it should be able to burst forth with a strength comparable to cultivators at the peak of the Sixth Stage Realm. Too bad that its intelligence quotient is too low and it can't properly use its strength. It should be perfectly suited to your needs, a very good cannon fodder.” Northern River's Loose Cultivator lifted the Daily Cultivator and smiled.
After hearing this much, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's eyes lit up. ”It would be great if this blood demon could land close to our position!”
It was difficult to find better cannon fodder than the blood demon if one wanted to try their skills.
Although its rank of the Sixth Stage was a bit high, it wasn't that much of a problem. After all, there were several fellow daoists from the Nine Provinces Number One Group reunited here. Venerable White alone was at the Seventh Stage Realm, and there were several other cultivators of the Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm.
If the blood demon were to descend close to their position, they could happily hunt and kill it!
”Ahahaha. Such being the case, Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless might as well pray for the blood demon to descend next to us.” Cave Lord Snow Wolf teased him.
Then, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber had a sudden epiphany.
Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of the other members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, he took a small incense burner and lit some incense. Next, he turned toward Venerable White and made a wish with a solemn expression on his face.
”...” Venerable White.
It seemed that the other members of the group weren't mistaken about Thrice Reckless Mad Saber. In regards to death seeking matters, Thrice Reckless was like a goldfish. He had a memory of three seconds and would soon forget previous bad experiences.

Far-off in the sky, an adorable cosmic demon was currently descending from the sky.
This cosmic demon belonged to the blood demon subcategory, which was a powerful species amongst cosmic demons. Its body was made of blood, and this alone made it immune to physical attacks. Its self-recovery ability was also top-notch.
Moreover, as long as the enemies were injured and bleeding, the blood demon's blood-sucking ability would automatically activate, starting to absorb the blood of the nearby enemies. With that, it would both recover from its injury and strengthen itself.
It was precisely for this blood-sucking aura that the blood demon was somewhat difficult to deal amongst cosmic demons.
Cosmic demons had a relatively low intelligence quotient, and their brains couldn't really process thoughts. Their intelligence was even lower than that of wild beasts.
And even among them, the blood demon subcategory excelled at being stupid… perhaps it was because even their brain was made of blood fluid instead of cerebrospinal fluid?
The blood demon had no concepts such as 'where I come from or where I'm going now'. As soon as it appeared, it would search for a place to land. After landing, it would start searching for food to eat its fill. After eating its fill, it would evolve and keep repeating the above-mentioned actions until someone came and killed it.
This blood demon had a humanoid shape, and its height was fifteen meters. It looked like a person made of red-colored mercury. The blood composing its body had a certain sense of reality and moved and rippled from time to time.
At this time, it was curled up into a ball and was descending from the sky.
While falling, it smelt a very nice scent.
This scent really piqued its interest.
Therefore, the blood demon instinctively adjusted its trajectory and headed toward the place this nice smell was coming from!
❄️❄️❄️
Time slowly pa.s.sed by.
The sharp-eyed Cave Lord Snow Wolf saw a red dot high-up in the sky that was slowly descending. ”Eh? Is that the blood demon?”
F*ck, is the blood demon really falling to this place?
Is wis.h.i.+ng something in front of Senior White so effective? Such being the case, should I also wish for something? I hope Senior White will give me his blessings so that I can advance to the Sixth Stage next year!
Just kidding. Something like advancing to the next realm must be done step by step!
”Ahahaha, the blood demon really descended here!” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber lightly grasped the saber hanging at his waist. In the next moment, he completely restrained his aura, just like a sharp blade that was sheathed.
He was building up strength. After all, a blade was sharpest when just unsheathed!
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple squinted his eyes and looked at the red dot, saying, ”It's indeed the blood demon. It has a humanoid-form, and its fifteen meters tall. Its strength is at the Sixth Stage… and it's getting closer and closer. From the looks of it, it's going to land somewhere close! Thrice Reckless, use your taunt move!”
”...” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
Taunt? The h.e.l.l is that? I don't have such a move!
”Senior Yellow Mountain, can you aggro the blood demon and bring it over here so that we can beat it to a pulp?” Fairy Dongfang stepped into the void, and her long-sleeved dress fluttered in the wind. She was a bit tired of doing nothing. Thrice Reckless wasn't the only one that had benefited from the exchange earlier; all the fellow daoists benefited a lot and were itching to get some action.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain nodded and said, ”Sure. You guys get ready. I'll aggro the monster!”
