Chapter 888: Bloody Battlefield (1/2)
The portals leading to Red Cliff activated. Four seventh-ranked half-demons and five hundred elites walked out.
They were greeted by land covered in red rocks. The color looked like blood; some rocks were the size of a mountain.
This high-level realm was special. The gravity here was eight times higher than normal. A scorching air flowed chaotically. This had a negative impact on spirit energy gathering - quite unfavorable for human cultivators.
“Fourth Camp, to the square position, Third Camp, be on guard, Support Camp, stay in the center… Ahhh!”
A seventh-ranked half-demon flew in the sky and gave orders. Suddenly, a massive claw came down from the clouds, being several hundred meters long.
It smashed the half-demon down on the ground, bloodied. The assailant had insane demonic energy and bloodthirst. It opened its mouth and swallowed the fallen half-demon.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. No one could react before the seventh-ranked half-demon became food.
“A grand wolf-tiger demon!” Lord Qing Ji reacted first. She summoned a blue lotus with nine petals and turned it into a lamp shooting out a blue beam.
The wolf-tiger demon roared at the sky and spewed out yellow corrosive water like a tsunami. Any half-demon touched by this water instantly turned into pus. Agonizing screams echoed as dozens of them died.
“We need to run now, hide your breath to not be spotted!” Feiyun leaped to the sky and shouted at the frozen half-demons.
Even a seventh-ranked half-demon became food, let alone these inexperienced ones.
Feiyun started running as well. Lord Qing Ji and the wolf-tiger demon were top experts using ninth-ranked spirit treasure. Just one remnant energy from the fight could kill a third-level Nirvana half-demon.
The groups started fleeing while the other two seventh-ranked half-demons attacked the demon.
“Crack!” The red ground cracked as several hundred white spiders came out. They were around one meter tall with even longer legs.
Their outer shell was quite hard. Their eyes flashed in an intimidating manner as they spewed out webs and captured several flying half-demons, pulling them down and eating them.
“Watch out for the webs, use second-level flames to burn them!” Feiyun roared again.
This infuriated the spider demons so they began attacking Feiyun with their webs.
He gathered flames in his palm and unleashed a massive seal to destroy the webs. It moved forward and pulverized dozens of spiders.
He then waved his hand and gathered the corpses into his spatial stones. These corpses could be sold for money since they were materials for alchemy and blacksmithing. Most importantly, they could be redeemed for contribution points as well.
The rest of the spiders were furious. Six particularly strong ones had humanoid forms, completely naked. They attacked him with their weapons.
They were at the third level and their weapons were extraordinarily strong. Each move crushed a thousand miles radius.
Feiyun didn’t want to be surrounded; he summoned his weapon essence and used Swift Samsara to force his way out.
The six spiders pursued him, not letting go like flies wanting honey.
“Boom!” An immortal-like old man appeared in front, riding auspicious clouds and holding a whisk. He had a daoist crest as well: “Fellow Daoist, let’s take down these demons!”
Feiyun activated his phoenix gaze. Two phoenixes appeared in his eyes. This old man was quite powerful.
The whisk became massive like a mountain as he swung it forward towards Feiyun’s direction.
‘A wolf-tiger demon, you can’t trick me.’ Feiyun had already prepared. His weapon essence turned into a saber as he unleashed a crescent slash, repelling the whisk.
The old man’s eyes turned red. The human form suddenly morphed into a massive beast with a wolf body and a tiger head surrounded by a red glow.
It wasn’t as monstrous as the one from the start, only around the third level or so. However, its battle prowess far exceeded third-level human cultivators. Its roar made the ground tremble.
