Chapter 219: It's you!

In the blood light, the black-clothed man's face was pale, and blood aura was constantly escaping from his skin; his originally plump skin was shrinking and wrinkling, as if leaves were withering.

This black-clothed man is none other than Tuoba Kui of the Black Fiend Hall, who was arrogant and domineering at the passage entrance.

In this battle, he was also specially cared for by the dragon fish demon.

In the great battle, the powerful demon art bombardment not only injured the meridians in his body but also cut off half of his arm with an Ice Demon Blade art.

However, the True Dragon Blood Pearl is related to his Jin Dan Great Dao, so no matter how heavy the injury, he had no regrets.

Now, Tuoba Kui saw Shi Tianji about to take the True Dragon Blood Pearl far away; once he lost sight of him, it would be very difficult to find him again in this vast sea.

How could Tuoba Kui be willing to give up?

He spared no cost to perform the Blood Fiend Escape!

This escape technique is a self-mutilating escape secret method of the Black Fiend Hall, and the price is heavy.

However, the speed is extremely terrifying, and it is a secret method used when fleeing for one's life.

The longer it is performed, the more blood aura and vitality are lost.

Above the sea, a streak of blood light flashed like lightning, approaching the group of starlight in front in the blink of an eye.

Shi Tianji felt the blood light attacking from behind, his face became paler, and the true essence mana in his body poured out like a bursting flood, performing the Star Escape technique regardless of the consequences.

A streak of blood light and a group of starlight chased and fled, leaving the rest of the people far behind.

Soon, the blood light approached the starlight to within thirty zhang.

A blood blade broke through the air, changing into a sky full of blood-colored blade light, with surging blood aura, catching up to that group of starlight in the blink of an eye and enveloping it.

"Damn it!"

Shi Tianji saw the sky full of cold blood-colored blade light falling, blocking his path, and his face couldn't help but turn pale, but his eyes projected a crazy and decisive look.

A flying sword rushed out, and a mouthful of essence blood almost simultaneously spurted out.

The flying sword's starlight was dazzling, rushing toward the front with rainbow-like momentum, wanting to break through the blood-colored blade light net; as for the rear, Shi Tianji actually ignored it completely, but sacrificed a silver shield to block the blood blade's hacking.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing sounded densely, and groups of starlight and blood light exploded.

Shi Tianji failed to rush out in one go.

Tuoba Kui also failed to kill Shi Tianji in one fell swoop and seize the True Dragon Blood Pearl.

Both of them were fighting with their lives, every move a life-and-death struggle.

Shi Tianji wanted to rush out as soon as possible; otherwise, once the people behind caught up, he would have no possibility of escaping.

Tuoba Kui had to kill as soon as possible; otherwise, once the people behind caught up, it would be another tragic battle for the prize, and he was seriously injured and had performed the Blood Escape technique, so his strength was greatly reduced; once the people behind caught up, his chance of seizing the True Dragon Blood Pearl would be very small.

The two fought to the death.

The people behind were overjoyed to see this, their true essence mana pouring out crazily, urging their magic tools, rushing on the road desperately.

Fighting life for life.

The Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator ultimately could not fight the Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator.

"Clang!"

A loud noise.

The silver shield finally could not block the blood blade's crazy hacking, its light dimmed, and it fell toward the sea.

"Rip!"

The blood blade hacked down on the silver shield, paused slightly, and then fiercely stabbed forward, piercing through Shi Tianji's back.

Shi Tianji looked down at his bleeding chest, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Rip!"

Another blade swept across.

Shi Tianji's head shot into the sky, then smashed into the sea, losing his life completely.

When his head smashed into the sea, Tuoba Kui had already raised his hand to take his headless corpse from across the air.

A storage ring cannot be like a nesting doll, collecting other storage magic tools.

On which finger Shi Tianji's storage ring was worn, and whether there were extra storage bags or storage rings on his body, Tuoba Kui had no way to check at this time.

He could only grab the corpse first and run away quickly.

Tuoba Kui grabbed the corpse, rolled up a streak of blood light, and was about to run away when several streaks of brilliant light fell around him one after another, magic tools hanging in the air, emitting killing intent, surrounding him.

But no one made a move first.

The person had already run away, and now no one wanted to have a snipe-and-clam fight with Tuoba Kui, only to let others be the fisherman.

"Brother Tuoba, the True Dragon Blood Pearl was obtained by everyone fighting together; isn't it a bit ungracious for you to want to swallow it alone?" Soon, a Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator with protruding cheekbones, a hooked nose, and looking like an old man in his seventies, stared at Tuoba Kui with eyes like knives and said coldly.

"Then according to Brother Shentu's meaning, could it be that you want me to hand over the True Dragon Blood Pearl with both hands?" Tuoba Kui asked with a gloomy face.

The hooked-nose man is exactly Shentu Xiao of the Shentu family.

"I would like to, but other fellow Daoists certainly won't agree. Our strength is not much different; if we really start fighting, I don't know how many people will die. So in my opinion, the True Dragon Blood that this True Dragon Blood Pearl refines should be split equally among us Foundation Establishment perfection cultivators." Shentu Xiao said.

"This pearl was obtained by me paying a heavy price; why should I split it equally with you?" Tuoba Kui sneered.

"Just because you can't run away anymore!" A charming woman said coldly.

This woman is exactly the woman Xia Daoming met halfway.

"Haha, I can't run away?" Tuoba Kui suddenly laughed loudly, his laughter full of mockery.

The laughter was still echoing in the air when the space around him suddenly twisted, and before anyone could come to their senses, Tuoba Kui disappeared into thin air.

"Damn it, instant teleportation, how could he have a teleportation talisman?" Shentu Xiao's face turned livid.

"It must be a Small Teleportation Talisman! It must be a Small Teleportation Talisman!"

"That's right, it must be a Small Teleportation Talisman!"

"The range of the Small Teleportation Talisman's instant teleportation is about a hundred miles; he can't run far!" The charming woman said.

Once this was said, everyone seemed to remember something and scattered simultaneously, flying while looking around, searching everywhere.

Just now, everyone gathered together, and no one was willing to make a move first, fearing that they and Tuoba Kui would become the snipe and clam, and in the end, let others benefit, so they were willing to accept Shentu Xiao's proposal.

At least this proposal would allow them to get great benefits without needing to pay any more price.

But in reality, everyone in their hearts wanted to swallow the True Dragon Blood Pearl alone.

Now that Tuoba Kui had escaped with a small teleportation, although it was not a good thing, it also gave them a chance to swallow it alone.

Now it depends on who finds Tuoba Kui first, and then kills him to seize the treasure.

Tuoba Kui is just an ordinary Foundation Establishment perfection cultivator, and this time he was seriously injured again; if they could find him, the chance of killing him to seize the treasure would be very high.

Seeing the Foundation Establishment perfection cultivators scatter, each flying toward the distance, the twenty or thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators who chased from behind soon formed small teams of three or five, and also separated, flying toward the distance.

——

Outer perimeter of the forbidden zone, the small island where Xia Daoming was.

Under a cliff rock, the space suddenly rippled.

Tuoba Kui, still retaining the smug, ferocious smile from just now, walked out from inside.

As soon as he walked out, his face changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to roll up blood light to escape again.

He was seriously injured now and could absolutely no longer withstand a fight.

And the distance of the Small Teleportation Talisman was only about a hundred miles; once a fierce fight unfolded, it would soon attract people.

So naturally, running away again as soon as possible was the best strategy.

Dozens of zhang away, Xia Daoming, who was just about to step forward to collect the Blood-Lin Dragon Breath Grass over three thousand years old that he had finally found, saw someone suddenly flash out from under the cliff rock, and his face also changed abruptly.

"It's you!" Tuoba Kui, who was just about to roll up blood light to escape again, suddenly paused and exclaimed.

As he exclaimed, the blood light had already dissipated, revealing his pale, wrinkled face that seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and the headless corpse he was holding under his single arm.

"It's you!" Xia Daoming naturally recognized the other party at this time and couldn't help but look surprised.

"That's right, it seems you still remember me!" Tuoba Kui showed his white teeth to Xia Daoming.

Since he was just such a small character, naturally there was no need to worry; one blade would solve it.

With a flip of his palm, the Blood Fiend Blade had already broken through the air, drawing a blood-colored rainbow, and killed Xia Daoming through the air.

However, just as the Blood Fiend Blade broke through the air, Tuoba Kui saw a figure flash, and Xia Daoming's figure had already disappeared from where he was; the next moment, he had already appeared ten zhang away from him.

Xia Daoming had already taken a step ahead of him, urging the Wind-Chasing Boots and exploding with strength.

With the two forces combined, the speed was astonishing.

If Tuoba Kui were still in his prime, he could have changed the Blood Fiend Blade to block his path the moment Xia Daoming moved.

But now he had less than two-tenths of his full strength, and he was also careless and underestimated the enemy, thinking that killing a Qi Refinement ninth-layer cultivator who practiced both Dao and Martial Arts would be easy; as a result, this carelessness completely buried his last hope of escape.

A black blade flashing with cold blade light hacked toward Tuoba Kui through the air.

In the blade light, a black tiger was vaguely revealed, full of killing and fierce aura.

Before the blade arrived, the cold blade aura had already penetrated his body.

Tuoba Kui's eyes widened abruptly, his liver and gallbladder split.

A palm-sized shield was instantly sacrificed by him.

The shield bloomed with blood light, condensing into layers of blood clouds, wanting to protect Tuoba Kui.

"Boom!"

It was just that the blood clouds had only just been hurriedly condensed when the giant blade hacked down.

The blood clouds exploded, the shield fell, and returned to palm size.

"Rip!"

The giant blade swept, and Tuoba Kui's head shot into the sky.

Fresh blood spurted out from the broken neck.

In the air, Tuoba Kui's eyeballs were wide open, full of horror, disbelief, and extreme unwillingness.

"Boom!"

The head hit the ground.

The headless corpse fell to the ground with a crash, just happening to be side by side with the other headless corpse.

Xia Daoming looked at the two headless corpses on the ground, almost subconsciously connecting them to the True Dragon Blood Pearl, his heartbeat slightly accelerated, and his spirit was highly alert.

At the same time, he had already very skillfully searched the corpses, took off the storage magic tools, and then, regardless of destroying the corpses and erasing the traces, he directly collected both corpses, including the head, into an empty storage ring.

Then, Xia Daoming went to dig for the Blood-Lin Dragon Breath Grass.

After digging for the Blood-Lin Dragon Breath Grass, Xia Daoming specially performed a technique, drawing seawater to wash away some traces around.

In this way, even if someone found this place, they would not think that Tuoba Kui had stayed here.

After doing all this, Xia Daoming then set up the flying boat and left.

The Blood-Lin Dragon Breath Grass had been obtained, and this place was a place of right and wrong, so naturally, it was better to stay away.

His realm was low, and he had done things so cleanly, leaving no trace; even if someone saw him flying nearby, they would not connect him with Tuoba Kui.
