Fortunately, your father possesses mysterious arts and can actually control life force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Golden Core cultivators may not have this ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little girl Xu Deling is also quite good. Cultivating True Yang techniques perfectly restrains that ghost cultivator. Ordinary Foundation Establishment middle stage facing this person would probably be at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might end up fleeing in disgrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wields two top-tier magical artifacts with ease, quite capable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does your Xu family have methods for training divine sense control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Golden Core families or sects may not have such methods recorded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, though it's Qi Refining battling Foundation Establishment, your Xu family is truly wealthy. Xu Dezhao and Xu Mingqing both have two fine-quality magical artifacts. Xu Mingshu also controls a top-tier magical artifact and can split her consciousness to control insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus the other dozen or so people all have two superior-grade magical artifacts for both offense and defense. That demonic cultivator is quite flustered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pausing, Moyue continued, \"Boy Mingxian, perhaps you won't need to burn your lifespan this time. Your Xu family can still overcome this crisis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Moyue, didn't you always urge me to speed up breaking the array before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This seat isn't worried about your lifespan!\" Moyue raised his dragon head high. \"Half a year, this seat can pass it with a nap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the battle situation was favorable, Xu Mingxian also breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently complained inwardly: This old dragon is such a tsundere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not worried about the others, but that sixth layer of Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator's realm is too much higher. Even if Father, Deling, and Dezhao later join forces to kill the other three,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that battle, they may not be able to handle that demonic cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, the spiritual energy concentration in my Dongxi still can't fully support the Four Symbols Heaven Force Array, a second-rank superior-grade array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling the Four Symbols for annihilation consumes too much spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another incense stick's time, I can only maintain basic defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do as you wish!\" Moyue coldly snorted as if offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Moyue need not worry. Even if I burn my lifespan, as long as I don't burn it all at once, I can still extend my lifespan through Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hope that old boy Xu Chuan can truly help you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxian began burning his lifespan. In moments, he burned five years and used this power for deducing how to break the Three Absolute Dragon Locking Grand Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To forcibly break the Three Absolute Dragon Locking Grand Array would require a Golden Core cultivator on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking with force would have no effect, couldn't even create a ripple in the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through array Dao methods was there hope of gradually expanding the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue transmitted to Xu Chuan via divine sense, \"Boy Mingxian has started burning lifespan to break the array. Hold on a while longer. Once this seat emerges, I'll definitely help your Xu family devour these demonic brats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Senior Moyue. However, they originally came for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I'm not mistaken, either one of them is a descendant of those who sealed you originally, or they learned of your sealing location from such descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They probably think you've definitely died after being sealed for thousands of years and want to take your corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly audacious demonic brats!\" Moyue bared his teeth. \"Dare covet this seat's corpse? Once this seat emerges, I'll make them die horrible deaths!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't expect the Xu family still has someone who understands beast taming!\" Chou Jiu's peripheral vision glanced at the Azure Fire Eagles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Azure Fire Eagles circled high in the air. Their wings trembled. Feathers shot down like arrows, each coiled with azure flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu, wearing black armor condensed from baleful qi, took several feather strikes head-on. Sparks flew from the armor but didn't injure the fundamentals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sneered coldly. Baleful qi churned in his palm. A blood-colored flying sword broke through the air, directly attacking the nearest Azure Fire Eagle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu waved her delicate hand. That pitch-black Black Evil Banner suddenly unfurled. As the banner face churned, countless clouds of black fiend qi rolled, condensing into a black ink flood dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon body circulated, transforming into black light that intercepted the blood-colored flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Fire Eagle immediately spread its wings and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the \"Azure Sky\" sword in Xu Dezhao's hand rang continuously. Circles of azure light rippled outward, condensing into hundreds and thousands of azure sword shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless sword shadows attacked like a sword rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao was originally at Qi Refining perfection, and \"Azure Sky\" was also a fine-quality magical artifact. Its power far exceeded the Azure Fire Eagles' attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu didn't dare take it head-on. His mind moved. A mysterious armor shield flew from his storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield expanded with the wind to a zhang in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding ding ding~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azure sword shadows struck the mysterious armor shield. Immediately, ten thousand sparks burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Xu Mingqing rapidly formed seals. He released a wood-element superior-grade spell almost every breath, three in succession, all binding-type spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three pitch-black vines attacked, wanting to bind Chou Jiu but he released divine sense outward and naturally detected them. His wrist turned. Silver light flashed. He cut all three vines to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzz buzz buzz~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, countless sounds arose around Xu Mingshu. Actually, tens of thousands of Red-Spotted Spirit Insects under her control formed a red cloud charging toward Chou Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mixed within were nearly a thousand Iron-Devouring Flying Ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu thought these spirit insects wanted to get close and immediately urged his mysterious armor shield to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this battle, Xu Dezhao, Xu Mingshu, and Xu Mingqing were the core. Outside were a dozen or so people including Wu Tao, Wu Zhen, Luo Qianshan, Zhou Zongni, Xu Deheng, Xu Deyue, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Xu Dezhao, Xu Mingshu, and Xu Mingqing's blocking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others fundamentally couldn't hold him off. If he got close, they'd be slain within a few moves. Over time, complete slaughter was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Ge family battle, there were no Qi Refining cultivators who could shoulder the burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to use self-detonation one after another to injure Blood Ming and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tao, Xu Deheng, Xu Mingshu, and the others on the outside either controlled magical artifact flying swords, formed spells, or released talismans, continuously causing Chou Jiu considerable trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the baleful qi armor on his body was on the verge of shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the mysterious armor shield trembled. The azure flowing light circulating on its surface visibly dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu's mind also produced an ominous feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you, get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu roared violently. Baleful qi around his body erupted like a volcano. Pitch-black qi waves exploded, sending all the attacking Qi Refining cultivators flying back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao's Azure Sky sword and everyone else's magical artifacts also rolled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand to retrieve the mysterious armor shield. His divine sense swept over it. He discovered many small bite marks on it. He couldn't help but angrily say, \"What kind of spirit insects are these? They can even damage my fine-quality shield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Still chattering during battle is seeking death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu waved the Black Evil Banner again. The ink flood dragon charged toward Chou Jiu. Chou Jiu's face was iron blue. He raised his hand and slashed out a huge blade light that actually split the ink flood dragon in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his form rapidly approached Xu Mingshu. but just as he moved, he felt his body freeze. Actually, Xu Mingqing's vines had already coiled around him. Moreover, the Azure Sky sword transformed into flowing light, directly stabbing his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment families truly couldn't compare to Qi Refining families like the Ge family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their rise was quite recent, their foundation was truly deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu had no time to regret. He immediately burned his natal essence blood, causing the baleful qi around his body to surge again. The originally black baleful qi was actually mixed with a trace of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vines snapped one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long blade swept up. Blade light broke through, instantly sending the Azure Sky sword flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burning natal essence blood, Chou Jiu's strength completely rivaled third layer of Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then after several more moves, he repelled everyone else's magical artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless spirit insects flew over. Chou Jiu again condensed dark red armor covering his body, charging toward Xu Mingshu regardless of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao transmitted to Xu Mingshu. The two immediately used divine consciousness attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two divine consciousness spikes stabbed into Chou Jiu's sea of consciousness. Despite his shock, he forcibly endured the pain. His form arrived before Xu Mingshu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand rose and blade fell in an instant. An azure figure attacked, sending Chou Jiu flying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beast! Ruining my plans!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade light flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azure Fire Eagle Ah Da was slashed in two on the spot, its broken body falling from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Da!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu's eyes turned blood red. He stared death at Xu Mingshu. Another blade light attacked. Azure Fire Eagle Ah Er blocked in front of her, once again allowing Xu Mingshu to escape calamity but Ah Er also died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long cry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azure Fire Eagle Ah San immediately carried Xu Mingshu on its back and rapidly retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu wanted to pursue, but Xu Dezhao, Xu Mingqing, and the others again drove their magical artifacts to attack, forcing him to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Da! Ah Er!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Azure Fire Eagle brothers had accompanied Xu Mingshu for a long time. Their feelings ran deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu's eyes filled with sorrow, but with powerful enemies present, she couldn't allow herself to be dejected. She again drove spirit insects close, entangling at any cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu was forced to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He excelled at close combat, but against spirit insects, the effect was unsatisfactory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao and Xu Mingshu again performed divine consciousness attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu could no longer forcibly endure. Clutching his head, he cried out in pain. In that instant's gap, everyone's attacks all landed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark red armor on his body instantly shattered. He was sent flying, spurting fresh blood violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having burned essence blood to elevate himself, his aura now rapidly declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu spat out essence blood onto the Black Evil Banner, catalyzing this top-tier magical artifact's power to its limit. A seven or eight zhang long black ink flood dragon rushed out, opening its huge mouth to bite Chou Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu barely raised his long blade to block it. However, under its impact force, his form continuously retreated then an azure light pierced through his heart from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Xu Dezhao's Azure Sky sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu was full of unwillingness. A rogue cultivator by origin, he'd schemed and struggled to reach Qi Refining perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, for Foundation Establishment, he even chose the demonic path yet now he died at the hands of a group of Qi Refining cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chou Jiu's fall naturally attracted Blood Ming, Leng Mu, and Qing Ling's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your turn now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faint light appeared at Xu Deling's brow. Immediately, three invisible spikes stabbed into Leng Mu's sea of consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling could catalyze this technique three times in a short period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her divine consciousness was originally stronger than Leng Mu's. Plus, the opponent continuously used secret techniques and his aura declined. So she decisively used this trump card at the moment when Chou Jiu fell and his mind wavered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Mu's scream resounded through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a black awl-shaped magical artifact soundlessly appeared behind Leng Mu's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also pierced through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This magical artifact was a fine-quality artifact. Xu Deling had forged it imitating the Shadow Awl, suitable for sneak attacks. When used, its aura fluctuations were suppressed to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost Leng Mu's support, that ghost general was no longer a match for the True Yang Fire Crow. After being severely injured, it shrieked and transformed into masses of black qi that merged into the soul banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling also had no time to collect Leng Mu's remains. She immediately controlled the True Yang Fire Crow to charge toward Qing Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, save me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Xu Chuan, Qing Ling already felt immense pressure and was at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Yang Fire Crow rapidly approached. She wanted to drive her magical artifact to block, but Xu Chuan still had one or two Spirit Condensing Techniques unused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this excellent opportunity, he used them all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Ling's artifact control was interrupted. Her entire body was burned by the True Yang Fire Crow, though storage pouches and such were preserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, three of the four Demon Flame Bandits perished. Blood Ming also had no time to rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a Xu family! Killing my brothers and Dao companion, then accompany them in death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Blood Ming laughed madly, the blood mist around him churned like boiling lava. Each blood droplet transformed into a fierce ghost face shrieking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura climbed madly, seventh layer of Foundation Establishment, eighth layer... finally settling at ninth layer of Foundation Establishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin cracked inch by inch, exposing blood threads wriggling beneath. His entire person was like an evil ghost crawled from hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Ming spread both arms. Blood mist condensed into nine giant pythons, pouncing in all directions to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Retreat quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan shouted loudly. He immediately urged the Phoenix Furnace. Phoenix Separation flames erupted, transforming into a sea of fire wanting to trap the nine blood-colored giant pythons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Xu Deling also mustered remaining magical power, condensing nine True Yang Fire Crows to attack the blood-colored giant pythons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of you can escape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Ming formed hand seals with both hands, spewing large amounts of essence blood from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under secret techniques, essence blood transformed into thousands of blood-colored bats charging toward Xu Dezhao, Xu Mingshu, Xu Mingqing, and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu drove spirit insects to block most of the blood-colored bats but quite a few still surrounded Xu Dezhao and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These blood-colored bats were extremely strange. Even when split in two, they'd recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use fire-element and ice-element spells!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone hearing this acted accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when Xu Deyue's sword swept past, seven or eight blood-colored bats froze into ice blocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhen and the others performed fire-element spells, but these blood-colored bats weren't afraid. They charged through the flames and approached again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lower-grade spells aren't powerful enough. Use at least middle-grade spells!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhen and the others acted again. Sure enough, blood-colored bats burned by middle-grade fire spells emitted sharp shrieks before transforming into wisps of green smoke in the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't expect you could see through my technique's weakness at a glance. I underestimated you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan complained inwardly: Condensed from blood, naturally fears burning and freezing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If burning doesn't kill them and freezing doesn't break them, it's just insufficient power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Merge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large numbers of blood-colored bats under Blood Ming's control began merging two by two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally thousands of bats were reduced to two or three hundred in moments, but each blood-colored bat now emanated aura comparable to late-stage Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies also swelled to four or five chi in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use superior-grade spells!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone complied, but among those present, only a few could rapidly perform superior-grade spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most could only use magical artifacts to block again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Chuan said again, \"Form arrays of three!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xu Dezhao, Xu Mingshu, Xu Mingqing, Xu Deyue, Xu Deheng, and others as cores, the rest all moved closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all cultivated the Nine Flames Formula and could all rapidly perform superior-grade spells, even having energy to control magical artifacts for attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were responsible for blocking blood-colored bats that got close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using magical artifacts, talismans, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, they actually blocked the blood-colored bats' offensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a Xu family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll act personally!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine blood-colored giant pythons roared ferociously. Wherever they passed, True Yang flames were torn like paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan's pupils contracted sharply. Seeing four blood pythons bite toward him, he immediately swept his sleeve. A crimson-gold treasure bead flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also a top-tier magical artifact forged by Xu Deling, named True Yang Treasure Bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magical power surged in. The True Yang Treasure Bead immediately bloomed with ten-thousand-zhang radiance, as if dispersing the surrounding night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale golden light screen appeared, enveloping Xu Chuan's entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four blood-colored giant pythons crashed into the light screen. For a time, they couldn't break through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling's side was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With top-tier defensive magical artifacts on their bodies, even though Blood Ming's strength surged to ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, he couldn't quickly kill the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he still had to be distracted dealing with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two can hold out, but they may not. Among them are quite a few of your close relatives!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Ming being distracted was precisely calculating this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even one blood python's power equaled Foundation Establishment early stage, let alone Blood Ming gathering all blood-colored bats into the blood python.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shared the same origin, so merging was very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Spirit Transformation, divisible and mergeable, this was the special characteristic of Blood Demon Dao techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood python's aura instantly climbed to third layer of Foundation Establishment level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deyue slashed out sword light. The sword light contained extreme cold power. Striking the blood python, it only froze part of its body, but in a flash, that ice melted clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood python turned to look, spewing several blood arrows. Xu Deyue blocked with her superior-grade defensive magical artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifact's spiritual light instantly dimmed. She was sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu, Xu Dezhao, and Xu Mingqing attacked again. But having experienced a great battle, their magical power was already considerably depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of times they could use Spirit Condensing Technique was also exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even surrounding it, their power wasn't like when dealing with Chou Jiu before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan's face showed worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzz!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately formed seals with both hands. Emerald spiritual light appeared around his body. Life force surged like tides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura climbed steadily, finally settling at fourth layer of Foundation Establishment peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a technique he created himself for burning life force. This technique had minimal aftereffects on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Xu Deling bit her tongue tip, again spewing essence blood onto the Scorching Yang Wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deling...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, it's fine. Ling'er can hold on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using it twice in succession, her momentum also surged to fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, but her complexion visibly turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She split her consciousness to control the Scorching Yang Wheel, condensing a several-zhang-sized True Yang Fire Crow to entangle with four blood pythons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan used the Phoenix Furnace to set up a sea-of-fire formation, then combined with the True Yang Treasure Bead to trap four blood pythons. He himself left the formation and joined forces with Xu Deling to besiege Blood Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Xu family truly is wealthy! Actually, everyone has two top-tier magical artifacts. But I also have a strange treasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Ming opened his mouth and spat out a blood-colored round bead. This bead was evil and strange, blooming with blood light. Being illuminated by it, Xu Chuan and Xu Deling felt their own blood restlessly stirring, as if wanting to break out of their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a Blood Devouring Bead. Originally just a lower-grade magical artifact, but through my constant nurturing plus absorbing large amounts of cultivators' and demon beasts' blood, now its power even exceeds ordinary top-tier magical artifacts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan patted his storage pouch, separating two flying swords, one crystal blue, one crimson. These were precisely the top-tier magical artifacts obtained from Feng Xiuyuan originally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling also took another top-tier magical artifact from her storage pouch, a dark gold hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used it for artifact forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Blood Ming was also dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere fourth-rank family, where did so many top-tier magical artifacts come from?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does your Xu family have an artifact refinement grandmaster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan and Xu Deling didn't respond. The two immediately joined forces. However, the Blood Devouring Bead's power was even stronger than they imagined. In just dozens of moves, both were severely injured and sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Blood Ming also wasn't well off. Taking out the Blood Devouring Bead from within his body made him somewhat unable to suppress the secret technique's backlash. After sending Xu Chuan and Xu Deling flying, his face also turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura also showed signs of declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, \"Family Head, watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tao suddenly appeared behind Xu Dezhao. His chest was pierced by the blood python's tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Tao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao shouted loudly. Holding Azure Sky, he slashed off its tail with one sword but blood light flowed. That severed tail actually recovered as new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the blood python swept horizontally, everyone was sent flying together. All were severely injured and vomited blood. The magical artifacts beside them all dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it spewed blood arrows again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Zhen burned his lifespan, forcibly supporting himself to urge his superior-grade magical artifact, holding up a light screen to protect those beside him but it only lasted moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was pierced through like a sieve by blood arrows. He died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Da and Wu Er had the weakest cultivation. The barriers condensed from magical power couldn't withstand it. They also died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those present, only Xu Dezhao, Xu Mingshu, and Xu Mingqing still had some resistance left. The others, if they endured any more, would face death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three charged forward, but the blood python's tail swept like a long whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, the Azure Sky sword was knocked away. Xu Dezhao was swept away by the snake tail, severely injured and vomiting blood, nearly unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu and Xu Mingqing were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other eight blood pythons also broke free, splitting into two groups to bite toward Xu Chuan and Xu Deling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, \"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flood dragon's roar piercing the nine heavens suddenly exploded. Sound waves swept in all directions like the sky collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nine-plus blood pythons were actually sent flying by this sonic howl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Ming's pupils contracted sharply. He suddenly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw in the night sky a several-dozen-zhang-long flood dragon break through the clouds. Its scales and claws were fierce as cold iron cast. Wherever it passed, frost and snow scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its entire body was covered with ice-crystal diamond-shaped scales that sparkled silver in the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its brow protruded two coral-shaped silver horns. In its eye sockets were embedded two amber vertical pupils. From both sides of its nostrils hung six transparent whiskers like shark silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the dragon's head, a white-robed figure stood with hands behind his back. Silver hair cascaded like a waterfall. As robes fluttered, moonlight seemed to flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue's eyes stared at Blood Ming. The dragon mouth opened, exhaling forest-white cold qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heard you wanted this seat's corpse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Blood Ming's pupils suddenly dilated. \"You... you're the flood dragon from the seal?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thousands of years have passed. How can you possibly still be alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be an illusion!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'd worked so hard to find the flood dragon sealing ground. If the flood dragon was alive, hadn't they been on the path to death all these years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue opened his mouth, revealing clean sharp dragon teeth. His eyes were full of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not right! Sealed for thousands of years, even if you're alive, your strength is less than one-tenth. Today, I, Blood Ming, will slay a dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately drove nine seven or eight zhang long blood pythons to bite toward Moyue but compared to Moyue's body, they were like crawling insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue's current strength was indeed at its low point, but even a dead camel is bigger than a horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one sweep, the nine blood pythons all exploded in mid-air, transforming into foul-smelling blood rain pouring down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Blood Devouring Bead shot from the air was easily knocked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, though his body was aged, it was still as hard as a dharma treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Ming's connection with the Blood Devouring Bead was very close. When the Blood Devouring Bead was injured, he also vomited fresh blood. His aura began declining, falling to seventh layer of Foundation Establishment in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Moyue, kill him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Xu family in such a state, Xu Mingxian's eyes turned cold to the extreme, without the slightest warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue's mouth emitted dragon roars. Before him, countless water vapor condensed into ice spikes emanating astonishing cold qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds and thousands of ice spikes attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Ming forcibly urged the Blood Devouring Bead to raise a blood curtain but it only lasted two breaths before the blood curtain directly shattered. Countless ice spikes pierced him into meat paste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No complete corpse remained!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, immediately after, Moyue's aura also began declining, falling from Foundation Establishment perfection to sixth layer of Foundation Establishment. His body also shrank to seven or eight zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxian leaped down, arriving before Xu Chuan to help him up. \"Father, you worked hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ultimately arrived in time.\" Xu Chuan smiled faintly. With all demonic cultivators killed, he also breathed a sigh of relief but the others' conditions also made him put away his smile, his expression grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifth Uncle, your hair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling asked worriedly. She sensed Xu Mingxian's life aura was extremely weak, as if his end was approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To forcibly break that sealing array always requires paying some price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan patted his storage pouch, taking out two superior-grade Pure Truth Pills. He gave one to Xu Deling. \"Recover your injuries well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then three bottles of superior-grade Spring Return Pills, delivered to Xu Dezhao's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have them take these. Those who died fought for my Xu family. Bury them in the Heroes' Garden to enjoy the Xu clan's incense. Their families and relatives must also be compensated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandson understands. But Wu Tao...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao's voice was low, somewhat hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Life and death are fate. If you feel bad, properly cultivate Chongming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan patted his shoulder and sighed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tao was the Xu family's earliest cultivator, yet now the first to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was perhaps a beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan collected the four demonic cultivators' magical artifacts, storage pouches, etc., then returned to the Jade Cold Pool with Xu Deling, Xu Mingxian, and Moyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao remained to handle aftermath matters. Others also returned to recuperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when Wu Tao and the others died, in both Dongxi and the Guangling branch, in the Life Lamp Pavilion, the life lamps belonging to them all extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards seeing this immediately reported to Family Head Xu Mingyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Wu Tao, Wu Zhen, Wu Da, Wu Er all fell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible? They're all at the Dongxi main lineage. The array defenses there even exceed here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan's pupils contracted sharply, unable to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something happened in Dongxi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All cultivators in the branch, including elders, assemble at the plaza! Anyone absent will be dealt with according to clan rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan's voice exploded above the branch sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All cultivators hearing this immediately rushed to the plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei asked in surprise, \"Mingyuan, what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Brother, something happened in Dongxi! Wu Tao, Wu Zhen, Wu Da, Wu Er, they fell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei's first reaction was also disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was extremely anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all cultivators and Xu clan members assembled, everyone immediately rushed toward Dongxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived at Dongxi, dawn was just breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the gray-white morning mist, everyone stood on the dharma boat. Looking down, their pupils suddenly contracted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand mu of fertile fields were corroded and damaged beyond recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shattered magical artifact fragments scattered in the furrows. A few unburned rice shoots stood lonely in the mud like severed flag poles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everywhere bore traces of spell combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a ten-zhang-long trench cut through the official road. Its edges still bore dark red blood scabs, clearly left by sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An azure light came from afar, it was Xu Dezhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Xiaoyao, you've returned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao'er, what exactly happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao surveyed everyone. \"Those originally from Dongxi, all return home to rest. The others wait at the Immortal Arts Hall plaza.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said again, \"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao recounted what happened last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxuan's forehead dripped cold sweat. \"Damn demonic cultivators! Actually attacking my Xu family. If not for Father, my Xu family probably would have ended up similar to the Ge family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, Second Uncle, Grandfather strictly forbids leaking this matter. Remember to seal mouths well on your branch side too. Violators will be executed, their entire lineage expelled from the Xu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan nodded. \"We understand the importance of this matter. Just the wealth the demonic cultivators accumulated from slaughtering families would be enough to attract covetousness. It would also expose our Xu family's true strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must say demonic Dao techniques are truly strange. That sixth layer of Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator used secret techniques at the end to elevate his strength to ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. He nearly annihilated us all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Fifth Brother arriving with Senior Moyue, now Fifth Brother has a head of white hair. He should have paid an enormous price. Seems he doesn't have much lifespan left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go see Father, Mingxian, and Ling'er.\" Xu Mingwei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately headed to the Jade Cold Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived, Xu Mingxian was not white-haired but had restored his black hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was naturally because Xu Chuan had given him a Verdant Flower Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingwei seeing this, couldn't help but be secretly surprised, \"Father actually still has life-extending pills, truly unfathomable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little ones of the Xu family, have you come to pay respects to this seat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven or eight zhang long flood dragon Moyue coiled by the cold pool's edge. Seeing people arrive, he opened his eyes and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, Moyue will be my Xu family's Grand Elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings to the Grand Elder!\" Xu Mingwei and the others all bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have manners at least.\" Moyue grinned, then lowered his dragon head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling and Xu Mingxian also greeted Xu Mingwei and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mingxian, glad you're alright.\" Xu Mingyuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your concern, Second Brother. With Father here, I'm fine.\" Xu Mingxian smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting a while, Xu Chuan said, \"You all return home to check on things. This afternoon, return to Guangling, lest it arouse suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those battle traces can't be hidden from others. You can tell them about the demonic cultivator attack, but don't let them leak it outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This child understands.\" Xu Mingyuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>",5319,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.416Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b3b50ee2fc05908a33875570aa4766d91aef8ffd68c7acf083672d34ef313c2","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-209","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-207",454,null]
