Chapter 581: Blade Wheel Cuts Through Crimson Armor

A massive blood-red blade wheel slashed down from the sky, carving deep, jet-black traces through the void, its razor-sharp blade light radiating wildly and cleaving through everything in its path.

The Crimson Armor General's expression changed drastically at this moment.

In his eyes was unmistakable shock, for Li Luo's sudden slash had filled him with a lethal sense of danger.

What the hell did this guy do?!

Filled with shock, the Crimson Armor General dared not hesitate for a moment—he violently opened his mouth and spat out a stream of bloodlight, within which appeared a small crimson bell; the bell grew rapidly with the wind, soon expanding to several zhang in size, and as its chime rang out, concentric rings of crimson sound waves spread outward.

The blood bell was heavy, its surface inscribed with mysterious runes; as it appeared, the energy of heaven and earth roared toward it, thickening the crimson glow upon the bell.

On the body of the blood bell, a golden eye-mark flickered faintly—clearly, this blood bell was also a Golden Eye Treasure.

At this critical moment, the Crimson Armor General dared not hold back even slightly.

As soon as the blood bell appeared, it directly met the ferociously descending blood-red blade wheel.

DONG!

At the instant of impact, a deafening sonic wave exploded outward—a colossal crimson shockwave erupted, and the ruined city below took the full brunt: countless shattered walls and broken pillars were torn apart, and even the distant, damaged crimson city wall was violently severed.

The clouds in the sky were completely swept away.

The residual force of this battle was truly terrifying.

Li Luo sighed inwardly at this—he had no idea when he himself would be able to generate such immense destructive power through his own strength; at the same time, his gaze locked onto the void, where wave after wave of energy impacts continued to explode, their origin the relentless collisions between the blood-red blade wheel and the blood bell.

The blood-red blade wheel spun at high speed, releasing terrifying cutting force, its blade light sharp and formidable.

The blood bell, meanwhile, fought desperately to resist.

But Li Luo could clearly sense that the blood bell's resistance was rapidly weakening—thin strands of sharp blade light had begun to tear through the crimson aura surrounding the bell; once this protective aura was ripped apart, the bell's core would be severely damaged.

"Such immense 'Wang Zhe Yin'!"

Li Luo was stunned—right now, even with the power of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf, he was only on par with the Crimson Armor General's strength; unless he obtained the lower section of the Tian Ji Zhou, he could push the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's power to its absolute limit, and with his peak Da Tian Xiang Jing cultivation, suppressing the Crimson Armor General, who was only at the early stage of Da Tian Xiang Jing, should be no problem.

Yet right now, his overwhelming dominance was clearly due to the "Wang Zhe Yin" within the Jin Yu Zhu Xuan Xiang Dao.

That single strand of mysterious golden energy had elevated the power of his blood-red blade wheel to an astonishing degree.

The power of a Wang-level cultivator was truly terrifying.

DONG DONG DONG!

The urgent, piercing chime of the blood bell rang out continuously; after a moment, the crimson aura was predictably torn apart by the blade light—a single blade light, brimming with formidable cutting force, struck the blood bell, instantly tearing deep gashes across its surface, causing the bell to shake violently.

The Crimson Armor General's face twisted in horror—he stared fixedly at the blood-red blade wheel, and after several breaths, his pupils contracted sharply.

At this moment, he spotted the flowing strand of golden energy within it.

A crushing, oppressive sensation enveloped him.

"That… is Wang Qi?!" The Crimson Armor General's voice suddenly turned shrill.

Wang Qi was something only a Wang-level cultivator could cultivate—how could such a terrifying artifact exist on the body of this mere Xiang Shi Jing cultivator?! Could this boy be the descendant of some Wang-level cultivator?!

No wonder his blade wheel was so terrifyingly powerful—it was because of this rare and potent artifact!

The Crimson Armor General's expression shifted rapidly—he immediately withdrew in a violent retreat; he could not stay here. Originally, he had planned to kill all these academy brats after ascending to Zhen Wo, to vent his rage—but now he saw he had misjudged badly; among these brats lurked a vicious wolf!

"For now, I must only avoid the sharpest edge—I've already transformed into Zhen Wo; next, I need only go to Lei Ming Mountain, devour the Lei Ming Tree, and perhaps then I'll gain the qualification to challenge the Marquis Realm!"

Compared to the temptation of challenging the Marquis Realm, losing Hong Sha County was trivial—now that all the major academies had their eyes on this place, there was no reason for him to linger; leaving quickly after swallowing the Lei Ming Tree was the rational choice.

When Li Luo saw the Crimson Armor General choosing to flee, he was slightly surprised—but his eyes turned icy cold, brimming with killing intent.

He had paid such a heavy price—mobilizing the power of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf, even using the extremely precious "Wang Zhe Yin"—if he let the Crimson Armor General escape now, wouldn't his losses be catastrophic?

Li Luo's face was cracked and scarred by the ferocious energy of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf, exposing raw flesh beneath; streaks of blood made him look grotesque and vicious.

He took a deep breath, trembling fingers extending, pointing downward into the air.

A torrent of bloodlight erupted from his fingertips—his flesh instantly dissolved, leaving behind two white bone fingers.

Cold sweat burst from Li Luo's forehead, dripping down his cheeks.

XIU!

The torrent of bloodlight pierced through the void, merging into the blood-red blade wheel—its momentum surged violently; a slash of crimson blade light cleaved downward, tearing a deep gash across the blood bell, which emitted a piercing, mournful wail as its crimson aura rapidly dimmed, finally plummeting downward.

Li Luo reached out and seized the damaged blood bell, glanced at it, then quickly shoved it into his Spatial Pearl.

Hmm—a Golden Eye Treasure, invaluable; even for me, the Young Master of Luo Lan Mansion, it's a rare item.

As Li Luo took the blood bell, the blood-red blade wheel surged through the sky once more, moving like wind and thunder; as it crossed the void, only a blurred streak of crimson light remained visible.

One breath later, it appeared behind the Crimson Armor General.

The Crimson Armor General was terrified beyond words—his heart was filled with regret; had he known one of these brats was this dangerous, he would have fled immediately after fusing with the Blood Tail Hybrid—why would he have dared to attack, trying to wipe them all out?

But now that it was done, no words could change it.

The Crimson Armor General roared, extending his hand and plunging it directly into the writhing, seductive face on his chest, then

Ripped it out of his flesh with brute force.

The seductive face writhed wildly, emitting piercing shrieks.

His eyes were filled with venom—he had spent years meticulously fusing with the Blood Tail Hybrid, and now, tearing it away meant all his planning was in ruins, and he himself would suffer unimaginable injuries.
