Chapter 190
"Damn it! Golden Eagle!!"
Xue Ling cried out in pain and turned to attack the golden eagle.
This made Zhongli and Alice stare in a daze.
They truly couldn't understand the thoughts of these two demons.
Clearly, it was demon against human, two against two.
Why did they have to turn their offensive to attack their own people?
Although they had a feud, couldn't they see the importance of the situation?
Wasn't it that the two Shushan disciples were more important enemies?
But for now, Zhongli and Alice couldn't care about thinking, since Xue Ling was temporarily not attacking them.
Simply put, solve the weakest one first!
Venti was eager to try, but Zhongli suddenly transmitted his voice:
"Don't come out! The situation is unclear, lest there be a trap!"
Venti immediately suppressed his impulse and watched the battlefield while hiding his aura nervously.
"Damn Golden Eagle! Since that's the case, you go to die first!"
Xue Ling attacked with hatred, and another Blood Evil Seal appeared out of thin air.
The golden eagle was shocked and stretched out its hands to tear it apart quickly.
Two illusory claw prints appeared, forcibly tearing the Blood Evil Seal apart.
But Zhongli's three-pointed, two-edged sword had already turned into a streak of light and stabbed at it.
The golden eagle couldn't dodge in time and was pierced through.
Zhongli seized the opportunity, pinched the seal with both hands, and countless flying swords appeared, covered with a layer of golden light.
They pressed toward the golden eagle overwhelmingly.
"Destroy Mountain! Shake!"
Zhongli shouted, and the immeasurable flying swords turned into a river that couldn't be looked up to, crashing into the golden eagle.
Each drop of water in this river seemed to be composed of flying swords; at first, the golden eagle could still resist for a while.
But as Alice's Separation and Union Divine Light Buddha fire ignited its demonic power, the golden eagle immediately lost its ability to resist.
It was pierced into a hornet's nest by the dense flying swords.
Then, its pupils scattered, and it fell toward the ground unwillingly, smashing up a cloud of dust.
Success!
Venti, hiding in the dark, waved his fist fiercely.
Although the situation of the two demons turning against each other was strange, for now, as long as one was solved, it was a good thing.
But he still didn't rush out to collect the spoils.
It was very strange that Xue Ling and the golden eagle suddenly attacked each other at a critical node.
These Great Demons were all old monsters; it was impossible for them to do such brainless things.
Venti made up his mind to continue lurking, the Wine God Art had already been activated, and his aura was repeatedly condensed into a point.
Zhongli gasped for breath and didn't care about checking the wounds on his body caused by the golden eagle.
He lifted the three-pointed, two-edged sword and stared at Xue Ling.
"It's your turn..."
Xue Ling looked at the two with a calm gaze, and after a while, suddenly laughed out loud.
"Truly stupid... the biggest mistake you made was not listening to that dead bird and joining forces to deal with me first."
"If you had listened, maybe you would have had a way to live just now."
Zhongli frowned slightly, feeling that he had been used again.
But after glancing at Alice, who still seemed to have some strength left, Zhongli still felt the advantage was his.
"Just two fellows who have only just entered the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation and have unstable foundations, and you want to take me down?"
Behind the Blood Spirit, the blood-colored bead from earlier appeared out of nowhere.
The blood bead suddenly shattered, transforming into endless blood Qi that surged into her body.
The severed arm and the demonic Qi consumed just moments ago were all fully restored.
Zhongli was greatly alarmed and subconsciously gripped his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear tightly.
Perhaps because her scheme had succeeded and she had eliminated a thousand-year rival, the Blood Spirit now seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Curious why I helped you deal with the Golden Eagle?"
The Blood Spirit wore a satisfied smile; seeing that Zhongli and the other did not respond, she was not annoyed and continued speaking to herself.
"The cultivation world is truly decadent; even people like you without common sense can achieve the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation."
"Very well, before you die, I will let you broaden your horizons."
"I myself am only a step away from the Demon King realm."
"Three hundred years ago, I accidentally obtained the Blood Fiend Great Art of the Ghost Brake Sect. Over these three hundred years, I have secretly slaughtered tens of millions of minor demons, absorbing their blood Qi to condense the Blood Fiend Bead."
"I only lack the blood Qi of a peak Great Demon existence to break through to the Demon King realm. When that time comes, I shall be the new king of this Nine Nether!"
Zhongli stared at the Blood Spirit with a cold, sharp gaze.
"So... that is why you were determined to entangle him!"
"Not stupid yet."
The Blood Spirit gave Zhongli a mocking look.
"I should actually thank you. If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have been able to kill him without sustaining some injuries."
"Oh! Almost forgot!"
"You even delivered yourselves to my door; what a bountiful harvest. Once I take you down and absorb the Golden Eagle's blood Qi, I will break through to Demon King."
"I... no! This King will then be able to learn the method to leave the Nine Nether from you. By then, the currently decadent cultivation world..."
"Will welcome a brand new overlord!!!"
The Blood Spirit's gaze was fanatical, and she raised her hands high with a ferocious expression.
It was as if she had already seen her future of reigning over the cultivation world.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Zhongli's forehead.
These Great Demons were truly more insidious than he had imagined; he had seriously underestimated these fellows.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the hidden Venti, who was still continuously accumulating the power of the Wine God Art.
Zhongli had no choice but to continue buying time for him.
"No matter how strong you are, you are only one person. How dare you be so arrogant as to deal with both of us?"
"Even if you could win, we would never let you know the method to leave the Nine Nether."
The Blood Spirit sneered.
"Just by relying on you two late-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivators with unstable foundations and huge consumption of True Essence? It is as easy as turning over my hand for this King to deal with you!"
"As for the method to leave the Nine Nether..."
"How childish! Don't you know that there is a technique in the cultivation world called the Soul-Searching Art?"
"Oh! I forgot, the cultivation world you are in has already decayed. Since that is the case, I suppose that Mo Yixi's seal has already loosened, right?"
"Rest assured, as helpers who assisted this King in reigning over the cultivation world, this King will treat you well."
The Blood Spirit looked at Zhongli and the other playfully and chuckled:
"After I search your souls, I will send all your relatives and friends related to you down to keep you company."
"Damn thing!!"
Alice was furious.
Anything could be done to her, but only...
She could not accept anyone targeting Keli.
Immediately, she unleashed her Separation-Union Divine Light without holding back, and Zhongli, unable to wait any longer, fully activated his Heavenly Eye to strike at the Blood Spirit.
"Hmph! Overestimating your own abilities!"
The Blood Spirit waved her hand ferociously, and boundless blood Qi transformed into a long river, obscuring everything in the sky.
In an instant, the long river of blood Qi washed over Zhongli and Alice.
This move was like a clay ox entering the sea; the two of them were completely unable to continue advancing.
They could only struggle to mobilize their True Essence to resist the Blood Spirit's attack.
