Chapter 217: Joining Forces (1/2)

“Now that we’re here, the real battle shall begin.”

After retracting the soul consciousness that she had sent out to Ghost Eye, Li Jing turned to look at Nie Tian, Hong Can, and the others as she said, “Nie Tian, you remain on the Bone Blood Demon’s shoulder and don’t go anywhere. You just need to command it to kill as many low-tier outsiders as possible. When you’ve killed enough of them, those high-tier outsiders will notice you and come to you.”

Then she turned to Hong Can and Zou Yi and said, “You cooperate with Nie Tian, but try not to fight high-tier outsiders in close quarters.”

With those words, she and the red lotus she sat on sailed through the air towards the center of the demon Qi-covered area like a blood-colored rainbow.

As she approached the vortex of demon Qi, numerous blood threads that were as thick as human arms suddenly extended out of her crystal-like lotus.

Like blood-colored lightning bolts, they whizzed down from mid-air and pierced into the chests of dozens of low-tier outsiders.

Those low-tier outsiders, who had been rampaging in the demon Qi, instantly let out miserable wails and stopped breathing.

Nie Tian was amazed by this scene.

This was the first time that he had seen Li Jing fight. When he had gone to the Blood Sect before, he had almost immediately engaged in fierce battle with Groete, and couldn’t spare the attention to look at her.

Therefore, the lethality of Li Jing’s attacks astonished him beyond words.

“Profound realm! Is this the power of a profound realm expert?”

Nie Tian’s expression flickered as it suddenly occurred to him that the blood-colored lotus that Li Jing had been sitting on might also be a Spirit Channeling grade treasure.

While he was shaken by that thought, a gigantic blood shadow, the might of which he had witnessed twice already, flew out of the blood-colored lotus.

As soon as it flew out, even more scarlet blood threads came out of the red lotus along with it, which, upon a closer look, seemed like numerous blood chains, locking onto the blood shadow’s gigantic body.

However, Nie Tian knew that those scarlet chains that seemed to have blood running within them were actually a part of the blood shadow.

BLUB BLUB!

The scarlet threads that had pierced and killed dozens of low-tier outsiders seemed to have turned into huge vessels, rapidly channeling purple outsider blood to the enormous blood shadow.

Only seconds later, those low-tier outsiders turned into nothing but bags of bones as they were drained of every last drop of their blood.

By the time the shriveled low-tier outsiders were thrown to the ground, the blood shadow, whose outline was rather obscure, had already expanded to five times its original size.

ROOOOAR!

The blood shadow threw its head back and let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar. In the next moment, an intense blood aura that was laced with a faint, purple mist rose from inside of it and filled its surroundings.

“What an awesome Spirit Channeling grade treasure!”

Hong Can from the Hell Sect couldn’t help but marvel at its formidable power. “Its soul can even leave the entity and use the Blood Sect’s Blood Refining Incantation to strengthen itself with the outsiders’ blood. Li Jing has indeed gone all-out to fight this battle!”

“The soul of the Blood Lotus is a special kind of Blood Demon. Sectmaster Li Jing applied many secret magics in order to refine it, and our sect’s Ghost Refining Incantation was among them.” Zou Yi from the Ghost Sect said after taking a deep breath, “Even though the soul of the Blood Lotus seems illusionary, it’s actually every bit as real as you and I. Its body is made of condensed blood.”

“The Blood Lotus’s soul is a special kind of Blood Demon?” Nie Tian was taken aback.

Never had he thought that the enormous blood shadow was actually the Blood Lotus’s soul, and that the Ghost Sect’s Ghost Refining Incantation had played an important role in its refinement. Now he understood why it was so powerful.

“Li Jing! You’ve arrived just in time!”

At that moment, Ghost Eye’s eerie voice echoed out from the eye of the enormous demon Qi vortex.

Upon hearing his voice, Zou Yi’s expression immediately grew respectful as he said, “Sectmaster!”

All of a sudden, the small figure of a man shot out of the green stone city covered in raging demon Qi and charged towards the area where all the high-tier outsiders were gathered.

It was none other than Ghost Eye, the sectmaster of the Ghost Sect.

The moment he appeared, two sinister ghosts floated out of his ocean-like, unfathomable pupils, which rapidly expanded to several dozen meters tall.

After those two ghosts flew out of his pupils, his pupils seemed to instantly shed their gruesomeness, and no more ghosts could be seen flashing across within them.

It was as if all the ferocious ghosts hiding deep within his pupils had morphed into two giant ghosts at that instant and shot out from his eyes.

“Two Heaven Ghosts!” Hong Can exclaimed.

HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!
