Chapter 207: Turn The Tides! (1/2)
Chapter 207: Turn The Tides!
In Qin Lie’s mind, Yuan Tianya had always been his greatest enemy. The reason he didn’t care to expose his identity was mainly to guard himself against Yuan Tianya.
Back at Icestone City, Yuan Tianya was humiliated by Li Mu and lost a subordinate commander. Since he could not see through Li Mu’s true realm, Yuan Tianya had held himself back and endured it.
After that, Yuan Tianya sought out any news relating to Li Mu and him whenever possible. Yuan Tianya’s intentions to kill Li Mu and him had never faded.
That was why he had no choice but to bury his name after entering Armament Sect. He did not dare to expose himself even in front of Ling Yushi.
This was all because of the pressure exerted by Yuan Tianya. The pressure was so strong that he did not dare to let himself go!
Now that he had come to an agreement with Xue Li, the first person he wanted to kill was Yuan Tianya!
“Who exactly are you?” Under Xue Li’s bloody gaze, Yuan Tianya felt as if he was sitting on a carpet of needles. He almost instantly channeled every bit of energy in his body and took out the life-bound spirit artifact he cultivated.
A pair of green feathered wings tore through the clothes behind Yuan Tianya’s back and appeared out of nowhere.
The wings were about one and a half meters long, and they were as wide as an eagle’s. In addition, the numerous dark green feathers were forged from various special metals.
The feathers were light, but were as sharp as blades. It was a perfect match with Yuan Tianya’s spirit art.
Cloud Zephyr Wings, a Profound Grade Five spirit artifact. Yuan Tianya had bought it from overseas.
After the Cloud Zephyr Wings had extended, Yuan Tianya’s body suddenly flew into the air. As he danced about lightly like a huge bird, a terrific wind had also risen as if coordinating with his agile flying in mid-air.
“Zing zing zing!”
Suddenly, a large portion of the dark green feathers turned into life seeking blades that shot towards Xue Li.
The sharp blades formed from feathers had even combined into an awl-like shape in midair. Along with it, there were fierce winds blowing inside the awl until it started to faintly hurt everyone’s eardrums.
Yuan Tianya also swooped down towards Xue Li like an eagle right behind the thin, rain-like feathers.
Xue Li’s body shrunk into a mummy. His skin was light gray with not a bit of luster to be seen. He appeared dead and lifeless.
However, his pair of eyes shone with a terrific, bloody light.
Lifting his head, Xue Li chuckled nastily and said, “You’ve only managed to unleash the beauty of the spirit energy of the wind of the Wind Cloud Art you’re cultivating. However, your cloud art is far from developed.”
He suddenly looked towards the place where Liang Yangzu’s body had exploded.
The crowd had followed his gaze as well.
“Blood Art: Materialization!” Xue Li exclaimed.
Liang Yangzu’s smelly, fresh blood that had splashed everywhere suddenly began to wriggle. On the plaza’s stone ground, it was as if the droplets of blood had turned into innumerable round blood pearls that rolled at a rapid pace before merging into one.
That scene was so bizarre that it caused cold chills to crawl up everyone’s spines. The few droplets of blood that were splashed onto Wu Tuo and Shi Jingyun had also rolled down from their bodies and swiftly beneath their feet. It frightened those two so much that the color on their faces had quietly changed.
In a very short period of time, the pools of blood formed after Liang Yangzu’s death quickly writhed and formed into a person made of blood lying on the ground.
Suddenly, the blood man began to stand up slowly.
“Pwack pwack pwack!”
It was at this moment Yuan Tianya’s green feathers shot down from the sky and stabbed into Xue Li’s body like many sharp blades.
Xue Li had been turned into a porcupine, but there was not a single trace of pain in his eyes as he chuckled at the blood man and commanded, “Go.”
The blood man’s body twisted and actually began to take on the faint appearance of Liang Yangzu. Then, a pungent blood fiend aura was unleashed from it.
The blood man turned into a bolt of bloody light and flew straight into the air, beginning its assault on Yuan Tianya, who was dropping down from the sky.
A ball of brilliant, bloody light exploded in front of Yuan Tianya. As Yuan Tianya groaned dully, the blood light abruptly changed into a large blood sword and slashed, aiming at Yuan Tianya’s neck.
Yuan Tianya’s Cloud Zephyr Wings flapped swiftly and circled around in midair. He seemed to be looking for an opportunity to kill Xue Li’s true body.
However, as if the blood sword had a mind of its own, it chased after Yuan Tianya endlessly without ever giving up.
On the plaza, Shi Jingyun, Su Ziying, Wu Tuo, Lu Li, Ling Yushi, Ling Xuanxuan, Armament Sect’s Ying Xingran, and the three great reverends were all looking up at the sky.
Countless shocked faces were colored blood red by the light of the blood sword in the sky. They actually looked a bit scary.
Even with dark green feathers piercing every inch his body, Xue Li never raised his head nor did he look at the sky. Instead, he turned to Qin Lie and asked, “Who else should I kill?”
“That person on the sky isn’t dead yet,” Qin Lie commented sternly.
“It is only a matter of time.” Xue Li appeared careless. “Within two hours, the blood slave I’ve awakened will be a level stronger than even before it died. Before that person had exploded and died, his strength was already comparable to that foe in the sky. The blood slave formed from all of his blood essence would definitely be able to kill that person before the spirit energy within the blood is exhausted.
Shi Jingyun and the crowd’s attention had originally been in the sky. When they heard Xue Li asking who to kill next, their eyes turned cold as they quickly withdrew their gaze from Yuan Tianya and looked warily at Xue Li.
“In that case, that person in the sky is dead for sure?” Qin Lie asked.
“Absolutely dead,” Xue Li chuckled strangely.
Qin Lie nodded before turning his gaze to glance at Shi Jingyun, Wu Tuo, and Si Ziying. He began pondering in silence.
“Qin Bing…” Ying Xingran suddenly interrupted.
Qin Lie turned his head to look at him.
“They are different from Liang Yangzu and Yuan Tianya. As the tower lord of Shadow Tower, Liang Yangzu deserved to die after he had consumed human blood, whereas Yuan Tianya was not amiable with the grand hall master and second hall master, as Dark Asura Hall’s first hall master. If he’s dead, he’s dead. It doesn’t matter.”
Ying Xingran’s expression was heavy as he explained, “But Shi Jingyun, Wu Tuo, Su Ziying are truly respectable characters of Seven Fiends Valley, Cloud Sky Mountain, and Purple Mist Sea. If they die, then we must fight to the death against Seven Fiends Valley, Cloud Sky Mountain, and Purple Mist Sea…”
Shi Jingyun, Wu Tuo, and Su Ziying were slightly surprised upon hearing Ying Xingran’s words.
They could not see through Xue Li’s realm and were still hesitating on the inside, wondering if they should take the plunge.
The truth was that they were already thinking about retreating. They thought of reporting the situation to the higher ups, so the higher ups would send someone else to handle this.
That was why they immediately grew somewhat relieved when they heard Ying Xingran’s words.
They all turned to look at Qin Lie.
At this point, they understood that Qin Lie was the only one who could influence Xue Li.
