Chapter 167: Self-Destruction

High in the sky, Chen Xuanxin, emanating golden light all over, had transformed into a golden giant sword several zhang long, having beaten Yang Wuqi, that demon, to the point where he only had a trace of strength left to parry.

At this moment, Yang Wuqi looked very miserable, with sword wounds everywhere on his body, and even a section of his right hand had been severed by Chen Xuanxin.

Yang Wuqi had cultivated bitterly for twenty years and refined the demonic saber in his hand to perfection. He originally thought he had the strength to take revenge on Chen Xuanxin, but after fighting a battle, he discovered that he had used all his strength and used all the various methods he had prepared over the years, yet he was still no match for Chen Xuanxin.

Looking at Chen Xuanxin, who was like a sharp precious sword in front of him, Yang Wuqi felt as if he were looking at a high mountain that was difficult to cross, completely unable to see any hope of winning.

Hearing the miserable shriek coming from Han Tongshan below, Yang Wuqi already knew that this revenge was hopeless. Of the two helpers, Han Tongshan had been killed by Song Qingming, and the somewhat mysterious red-robed man was also trapped by Lu Yuanfeng and the other three, already unable to take care of himself, and even less to be counted on.

After scanning the surroundings, Yang Wuqi immediately made a decision in his heart.

"As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood." Since there was no hope of winning, he could only prioritize saving his life.

Having made up his mind, Yang Wuqi did not hesitate anymore, quickly put away the demonic saber that was resisting Chen Xuanxin’s sharp attack, opened his mouth wide, and spat out a mass of blood mist that attached to his body. Without a word, he transformed into a red light and left the entire battlefield.

The speed of this red light was astonishing, far exceeding that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was precisely a secret technique that Yang Wuqi had practiced many years ago, used to save his life at a critical moment. The reason he was able to escape from Chen Xuanxin’s hands several times back then was precisely by relying on this supernatural power on his body.

Seeing Yang Wuqi, that demon, trying to slip away again, Chen Xuanxin sneered, "Want to run? You shouldn't think that I didn't make any preparations when I came to find you this time."

After speaking, Chen Xuanxin took out a white jade shuttle from his storage bag. With a flash of spiritual light on his body, he immediately disappeared from the spot, transforming into a white light and chasing directly in the direction of Yang Wuqi’s escape. Relying on this magic tool, the flight speed Chen Xuanxin used was no less than that of Yang Wuqi, who was blessed by the blood mist secret technique. After the two flickered a few times in the air, they soon disappeared from the eyes of Song Qingming and the others.

Seeing Yang Wuqi and Chen Xuanxin chase out one after another, Song Qingming could only take out the Golden Light Mirror and join the battle to besiege the remaining red-robed man.

"You guys, what kind of ability is it to bully the few with the many? If you have the ability, let’s fight one-on-one again." Seeing another person surrounding him, the red-robed man, whose figure had already turned into a big fat man, couldn't help but mock everyone.

Hearing this, Ye Tan, who was full of pride, replied with a light smile, "To deal with you evil demons who slaughter cultivators and mortals at every turn, do you still need to talk about morality? Since you met us today, you can only blame your bad luck."

The demonic cultivation technique practiced by this red-robed man was very strange. Not only could he control his body shape at will during battle, but the blood-colored skin and flesh on his body were also extremely hard. The golden spiritual light emitted from Song Qingming’s Golden Light Mirror, which could pierce Han Tongshan’s shoulder at once just now, fell on the red-robed man but was like scratching an itch for him, only leaving some pitch-black marks.

Being able to resist so many magic tool attacks with his own flesh and blood, and also being able to continuously release the blood poison in his body to counterattack everyone, the strength of this demon was truly unimaginable. No wonder this demon could fight Lu Yuanfeng and the other three for so long single-handedly.

At this moment, the red-robed man did not appear to have suffered any injuries on the surface, but he was actually at the end of his rope. After using the demonic technique to transform, although he could increase his strength quite a bit in a short time, it was not something that could be used all the time.

Seeing Yang Wuqi abandon him and escape alone, the red-robed man naturally did not want to entangle with Song Qingming and the others too much. He had just seen Chen Xuanxin’s power, and if he didn't escape quickly, he would definitely be planted here once Chen Xuanxin returned.

Thinking of this, the red-robed man hardened his heart, forcibly took several attacks, and exerted his strength to inhale the blood poison surrounding him. His already very fat body grew a few sizes larger.

"Quickly interrupt his spell-casting."

Seeing this guy starting to use secret techniques to change his body shape again, Lu Yuanfeng shouted loudly, calling everyone to attack the red-robed man who was transforming with all their might.

Unexpectedly, before everyone’s attacks hit him, a violent explosion sound suddenly rang out. The red-robed man, who had already turned into a giant meatball, suddenly self-destructed his body, transforming into a burst of blood mist containing highly toxic poison that splashed toward the crowd besieging him.

"Everyone be careful, this blood mist is poisonous."

Just after hearing a reminder, Song Qingming, although he had quickly used the Xuan Light Armor on his body, still had several blood mists pass through the protection of the Xuan Light Armor and splash directly onto his left arm. After a sizzling sound, Song Qingming suddenly felt a sense of numbness in his left arm and hurriedly retreated to the side to take a detoxifying pill.

Not knowing whether the detoxifying pill on his body had any effect, Song Qingming did not dare to use his own magic power rashly, lest the blood poison on his left arm flow quickly into his five internal organs along the meridians.

As the blood mist slowly dissipated, there was no trace of the red-robed man in the middle of the battlefield. Lu Yuanfeng and Rao Xinghai, supporting Ye Tan, who had also been hit, saw Song Qingming’s position and walked toward him.

"Fellow Daoist Song, are you also poisoned by the blood poison?"

After walking closer, Lu Yuanfeng saw that a piece of Song Qingming’s left arm had turned a strange purple color and hurriedly asked him.

Song Qingming nodded helplessly, raised his left hand, and sighed, "This blood poison is indeed somewhat powerful. The detoxifying pill on me seems to have no effect."

Unexpectedly, the red-robed man wasn't transforming just now, but chose to directly self-destruct his body. This guy clearly still had a chance to escape, but suddenly chose to use this kind of suicidal tactic of both sides suffering, which really deceived the crowd besieging him.

Except for Lu Yuanfeng and Rao Xinghai, who had higher cultivation bases and forcibly blocked it, Song Qingming and Ye Tan both failed to defend against this wave of attacks and were hit by his blood poison.

"This, Wind Jade Pill, can temporarily suppress these blood poisons and will not affect your mobilization of magic power. Fellow Daoist Song, you should take one first. Later, when Senior Brother Chen returns, we will see if he has any way to undo the blood poison on you." After Lu Yuanfeng finished speaking, he smiled and threw a blue pill to Song Qingming.

After taking this pill, it didn't take long for Song Qingming to feel that the toxicity in his body had weakened a lot, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The effect of this second-grade detoxifying pill was indeed extraordinary.

After the four rested on the spot for a while, a white escape light suddenly appeared in the sky. It was precisely Chen Xuanxin, who had gone to pursue Yang Wuqi, returning.

Sleep early.
