Chapter 143: Blood Hymn, Outpost Breached (Please Subscribe)

~8 min read 1,550 words

Two zhang in diameter, a masterpiece of technique, it suddenly plummeted from above, crashing down with a boom into the blood pool that was still expanding!

Boom!

The ground shook like a surging tide, the blood pool splashed, evaporating silently.

The confrontation between Dharma arts and evil arts revealed a sense of rigidity at this moment.

Thus, Du En chose to fire another Earth Cannon Art!

A two-zhang-long, heavy earth cannon condensed once more, crashing down with a boom, exploding the original earth cannon, bringing about splash damage that covered the area; chunks of earth and ladles of fresh blood canceled each other out.

The new earth cannon's momentum did not diminish, carrying a vast force as it struck the blood pool squarely again.

"Ah..."

Xuesong could not help but let out a muffled groan; two blood hands suddenly reached out from the blood pool, holding up the earth cannon as if supporting a tripod, yet he could not help but sink downward.

Thus, he used his words to stab straight at his lungs: "Looking at your previous actions, looking at that self-proclaimed title of yours that sounds like a Daoist name, self-mutilation must be to please your master, right? So, in the end, using a fake body of evil arts to self-mutilate, don't you think such purity is too low?"

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how he managed to escape.

"Should I say, as expected..."

Xuesong opened his mouth to shout, completely disregarding the Dharma treasure that had already come flying over.

He took the opportunity to pretend that his aura had suddenly weakened, as if he could no longer suppress it.

Xuesong was indeed provoked into a great rage.

After checking that there were no errors, Du En sent it out.

"Cough! Cough..."

In this way, Du En would not have to worry about such an existence, which he could not detect on his own when it was dormant and hidden, lurking by his side when he left this place.

It was such a simple matter, yet they had all thought wrong from the beginning, and because of the push of the grand plan, they had not investigated deeply...

Crack, crack, crack~

The emerald jade whistle suddenly turned into a viscous pitch-black, then cracked and shattered.

"I will drain your blood dry and offer it to the great High Lord!"

No feigned death...

Earth cannon, earth cannon, earth cannon!

If it weren't for the fact that the mountain forest trees here had already been burned away by Du En, the scene before him would likely be a disaster of uprooted trees and scattered flowers.

"Use my blood and resentment to smear your hymns!"

It was just that he still hadn't expected this outpost camp to be breached so easily!

He had clearly reported a warning of the highest color grade out of a responsible attitude to prevent any mishaps...

"Use your fear and resentment as the best tribute!"

Having seized the initiative, Du En naturally pressed his advantage, casting spells in succession.

Click.

He stared fixedly at the settling mud and stone tide, glaring at the earth cannon pillar rising within it, having realized that what he and the others had thought before was simply ridiculously wrong!

This Du En was not at all a bait thrown out by Tang Yiping and the others, but had killed Zhu'er by his own strength!

It was because of this performance, because of this talent, that he became the target of those people's jealousy, and they only wanted to borrow a knife to kill him!

Xuesong did not care, without the slightest fear, but Du En saw at a glance that he wanted to run.

"Wrong! Not right! We got it wrong!"

Facing this situation, Du En realized that this was because not enough Dharma treasures had self-destructed!

Thus, he did not stop; one by one, whether exquisite or crude, those lined-up Dharma treasures were all controlled to continue this process of self-destruction.

Moreover, this abnormal situation had already been induced and revealed by the jade whistle, and now it was lingering and pausing here.

Harboring this doubt, he thought of the jade whistle, so he returned to its location, cast a spell to urge it to manifest, and looked up the anomaly records.

The earth cannon pillar under his feet also collapsed, appearing somewhat caught off guard as it drifted to the ground, stumbling and nearly falling.

Du En could not help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

Having continuously self-destructed over six hundred Dharma treasures in a short time, even though the backlash from a single piece was very weak, the accumulation still made him cough up a mouthful of blood.

Because the escape here was exceptionally fast, he was not caught red-handed.

"What?!"

Three-bead string drop!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Only a snap was heard as the blood hands and blood pool were suddenly torn apart; four massive earth cannons stacked and crashed down, immediately setting off a tide of mud and stone that spread in all directions.

Something stepped on the spot where the jade whistle had just been, as if crushing it with one foot.

The trail of blood left behind just now to play god and act like a ghost had instead become Xuesong's retreat path; he crawled out of it with difficulty, his aura and evil nature becoming thin, and his expression looking very ugly.

That jade talisman, which had never been used, was taken out by him and began to be activated, leaving behind brief messages of various kinds, especially highlighting the anomalies in the jade whistle's records, but he did not mention that it had exploded itself as soon as it was recorded and induced.

Xuesong was clearly being blasted, his evil scarlet blood constantly evaporating and no longer flowing, yet he kept roaring; even though his throat was blown open and his skull shattered, there was still a voice echoing endlessly.

Immediately following, he followed the spiritual light of the jade talisman that had flown up, quietly restraining his aura and tailing behind it.

"Cough!"

He thought for a moment, completing the procedure for his patrol duties.

His life, his face, everything about him could be disregarded; only the reverence, longing, and faith toward the great High Lord could absolutely not be tarnished!

"I will make you regret saying that!"

Next.

Divine sense swept, eyes scanned, silently sensing.

Du En was not too surprised, because Xuesong, who had attacked him, was no small fry; from the few words the other party spoke, he could infer that the evil cultivators had misunderstood before, which was why they had concentrated their energy in other directions and had not come to seek revenge.

Click.

The moment he activated the whistle jade and caught a glimpse of that unusual pale gray, he had already reacted; his physical body became faintly translucent, he utilized the nascent Solid Spirit Manifestation, erupted with full force, and retreated directly to dodge, while simultaneously refreshing and maxing out his Breath Concealment Art.

Send a message.

Only then did Du En stop pretending, and while simply cleaning up the scene, he fell into deep thought.

"The great Supreme Lord brooks no doubt!"

The camp, which was usually calm and peaceful and the only pure land in this desolate and treacherous place, was at this very moment in a state of being blood-washed, with its formation shattered, houses collapsed, and corpses strewn everywhere.

"Fine, regarding the two parties who received the message, Tang Yiping's side wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone from the start, so they will likely ignore it, or at best intentionally delay; as for Xiang Tao's side, he has some inexplicable misunderstanding about me, perhaps treating it as a conspiracy by an evil cultivator."

And now, since Xuesong has already taken action, the other evil cultivators naturally cannot stay quiet.

"This is your true body, isn't it?"

"Hahaha! And what if it is?"

One talisman and one person returned to the outpost camp one after the other.

After fleeing in a hurry for several hundred miles, Du En finally began to slow down.

Du En landed on an earthen cannon pillar, looking down at Xuesong from a high vantage point with six magical artifacts dancing around him; looking around, he saw that, unknowingly, the magical artifacts were already standing by, lined up in order along his bloodstains.

Boom, boom, boom...

Magical artifact self-detonation!

Du En had long since run away.

"Could this evil cultivator just have been talking nonsense earlier? Although I truly didn't sense any fluctuations of evil nature, and he is already dead through and through now..."

Thus, it was not until six hundred of them had self-detonated that the evil cultivator Xuesong finally made no more sound, dying completely.

"The great Supreme Lord brooks no blasphemy!"

"However, even so, relying on the formation, one could hold out for a few days even against the Golden Core stage, waiting for reinforcements from the border city. This is Xiang Tao's confidence, and also the fundamental reason why he likes to wait passively like a rabbit when facing evil cultivator disturbances, yet now it has been broken so easily..."

Du En thought this to himself as he stepped inside, quiet and cautious.
