Chapter 199: Communication (1/2)
While Nie Tian refined the Soul Restoring Pills, bloody battles were taking place in the Blood sect.
By the time Nie Tian recovered and arrived a few kilometers away from the main gate of the Blood sect’ along with his group, they saw that the entire Blood sect had already been enveloped by the dense demon Qi.
Numerous gigantic outsiders were roaring as they attacked the disciples of the Blood sect with all kinds of powerful weapons.
All the outsiders could move freely and see clearly in the demon Qi, completely unaffected by it.
Not only that, it seemed that they could even draw power from the demon Qi to recover their strength and push their battle prowess to another level.
On the other hand, not a single high-tier outsider could be seen, as it appeared that they only issued commands with their soul consciousness, but didn’t fight in the battlefield.
Each and every magnificent stone palace and pavilion that originally could be seen everywhere had collapsed.
Blood stains could be seen around the ruins and rubble, but not a single Blood sect disciple could be found.
With another look, mangled bodies could be seen in some low-tier outsiders’ hands and mouths…
Apparently, those low-tier outsiders had an innate thirst for human flesh.
The biggest difference between them and the high-tier outsiders was that they weren’t as intelligent; they were basically at the same level as low-grade spirit beasts.
In the center of the Blood sect’s central square, the sectmaster of the Blood sect, Li Jing, was sitting on top of a lotus that was glittering with bright, blood-colored light.
She was wreathed in a rich, bloody aura, and a enormous blood shadow was floating over her head. The blood shadow unleashed raging power to its surroundings and formed a gigantic scarlet light shield, enveloping and sheltering numerous Blood sect disciples gathered at the square.
The square was surrounded by numerous blood pools, the blood within rushing up into the air like reversed waterfalls and madly poured into the enormous blood shadow under the command of Li Jing’s secret magic.
The mountain-like blood shadow continuously expanded while unleashing suffocating energy fluctuations.
Shen Xiu, Yu Tong’s master, and many other powerful experts of the Blood sect were gathered around Li Jing. Every one of them had their spiritual tools in hand as they braced themselves for battle with anxious looks in their eyes.
They were very well aware that the enormous blood shadow needed a constant supply of blood to maintain its power.
However, the spirit beast blood that they had stored in their sect wasn’t limitless. Besides, they had used up a large proportion of their blood storage to power their grand, sect-protecting spell formation.
Once the spirit beast blood ran out, the last defensive line created by the blood shadow would immediately fall apart.
At that time, all the outsiders would swarm into the central square and start a massacre.
A large number of low-tier outsiders were already gathered around the scarlet light shield. Some were gnawing on the body parts of the Blood sect disciples who had failed to get under the light shield in time, while others madly rammed into the light shield over and over again.
Upon a closer look, five high-tier outsiders with purple hair and pupils were among the crowd of low-tier outsiders.
Significantly shorter than the low-tier outsiders around them, those five high-tier outsiders stood together and conversed with one another in their own language. They would point to Li Jing from time to time as they chatted with relaxed expressions on their faces.
It seemed that they were waiting for the numerous low-tier outsiders to wear out the power of the scarlet light shield.
And when the low-tier outsiders had torn open the light shield, they would attack together and kill sectmaster Li Jing.
Every one of the five high-tier outsiders was tall, skinny, and wore exquisite outfits. The females were beautiful and the males were handsome.
Just as they were chattering cheerfully, the other high-tier outsider, who had been driven away by the Bone Blood Demon, descended among them.
The five chattering high-tier outsiders stopped talking the moment he arrived.
Each and every one of them bowed towards him in a respectful way. A devilish female outsider stepped forward and said, “You shouldn’t be here, Lord Groete. It’s not safe here.”
“Where are your guards, my lord?” another male outsider asked.
