Chapter 499: Chapter 466: Successive Kills _1
“Five Poisons!”
Shock and incredulity spread across the face of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
He never expected someone to stealthily launch an attack from the shadows, one powerful enough to seriously injure the Five Poisons God Monarch in an instant.
After all, he had cast layers of measures in the vicinity, making it impossible for anyone to sneak in undetected.
Could it be that this was a premeditated plot of theirs? How dare they?
With the myriad measures he put in place, not even five or six cultivators of the same level could defeat him. On the contrary, they might even get backlash. He couldn’t comprehend where they got the audacity to take such a risk.
“It’s you!”
Xu Mu’s figure emerged from behind the Five Poisons God Monarch. Coupled with his signature sky-splitting halberd, the Blood Demon Ancestor could hardly contain his outrage.
At this moment, the Blood Demon Ancestor didn’t dare hesitate. He decisively abandoned his attack on Lu Jingkong and turned to save the Five Poisons God Monarch.
Without the aid of the Five Poisons God Monarch, it would be difficult for him to defeat Lu Jingkong with his current power.
Instead of being entangled with Lu Jingkong without any results, it was better to rescue the Five Poisons God Monarch first and then make a plan.
In any case, it was already impossible to deal with both of them. All he could do now was to mitigate his losses as much as possible.
But before the Blood Demon Ancestor could even reach him, Xu Mu’s sky-splitting halberd swept across, cleaving the Five Poisons God Monarch’s body in two.
The green mist that originally surrounded the Five Poison God Monarch slowly dissipated, revealing his lifeless body.
“How is this possible?”
The Blood Demon Ancestor froze in place, too stunned to speak.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Five Poisons God Monarch, being an old Nascent Soul cultivator, shouldn’t have died so easily even after his body was destroyed. At least his soul should manage to escape.
But now, he was slain as easily as a common mortal.
His death was undeniably too easy.
This was almost beyond his comprehension, leaving the Blood Demon Ancestor in a daze.
“Now it’s your turn.”
Xu Mu smirked and brandished his halberd before charging in.
Those exceptionally tough red strings were as fragile as noodles under his halberd, being cut down one by one.
They posed no obstruction to Xu Mu at all.
“There’s something strange about his magic weapon!”
The Blood Demon Ancestor instantly recognized the problem.
However, for Xu Mu at the moment, whether he realized or not made no difference.
In a blink of an eye, Xu Mu had already charged in.
On the other side, Lu Jingkong also unleashed his hidden power, transforming into a half-fish state. His twenty-four Luoshui swords combined into one that he held in his hand. With one swing, he cut open the obstacles in front of him and charged towards the Blood Demon Ancestor.
“Stop them!”
The Blood Demon Ancestor’s face turned pale.
He thought he had the situation under control, or at the very least, a stalemate. But in an instant, he found himself at an absolute disadvantage, facing danger.
Those Golden Pill disciples he summoned were obviously aware of what was about to transpire.
It was highly likely that their Ancestor was going to die at the hands of these two ruthless assailants.
However, under the ban imposed by the Blood Demon Ancestor, even if they wanted to defy his orders, they had no way to do so. They could only grit their teeth and continue to infuse their Spiritual Power.
Those red threads seemed to come alive and madly entangled around the duo, doing their best to obstruct their path.
The Blood Demon Ancestor, on the other hand, was desperately trying to escape.
At this point, he was no longer optimistic about defeating the two or even negotiating terms with them.
Now, he had only one thing in mind— to escape as far away as possible.
As long as he could run away, he would hide and seek opportunities for revenge against them in the future.
As for killing the two people, he no longer had the opportunity.
Looking at the strength they now displayed, both had far surpassed him. Even if he were to fight them one-on-one, he would not be capable of handling either of them.
But the two had the opportunity to give him a chance, now that they had decided to take action, they couldn’t afford to leave any potential threats.
Behind Xu Mu, a pair of white wings stretched out; his speed reached an ultimate level, unstoppable like a bamboo cutting through the wind, he pursued relentlessly.
The formation restrictions he imposed seemed to have no effect on Xu Mu.
“How can that bastard be so powerful? Just the last time I saw him, I was one level better than him.” The Blood Demon Ancestor roared in his heart.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand how Xu Mu’s strength could have improved so much in less than a century.
“It seems I can only resort to my last resort.”
Defeating Xu Mu was impossible, even if he had a means, he would not want to use it.
Under the present circumstances, defeating Xu Mu would be meaningless, surely he would not disclose his trump card.
The only thing he thought of was to run away first.
Just as he wanted to employ his hard-earned trump card, a beam of blue light suddenly shot towards him.
Instinctively, he produced a scroll of blood red jade to block it.
This was an ancient treasure he had accidentally obtained; he used quite a few methods to cultivate it into his magic weapon, capable not just of withstanding attacks, but also possessing other mysterious uses.
However, he didn’t have the time to use those mysterious means, having to use it only as a simple shield.
As a result, he managed to block it, but his steps were also halted.
Moreover, the beam of light was very strange; the jade scroll shimmered, as if the spiritual power was greatly damaged, giving him the feeling that it was uncontrollable.
What kind of Divine Skill was this?
The Blood Demon Ancestor was greatly shocked.
He knew very well the power of this blood jade scroll.
This beam of light that shot over inexplicably had such great power, could there be another Nascent Soul cultivator hiding nearby?
In his hurry, he glanced back at the source of the light beam. He saw no other cultivators, only a huge white fox.
It was Xu Mu’s puppet, the white fox.
He deliberately had it ambushed around, in order to provide slight resistance should the unexpected occur.
No cultivator who reached the Nascent Soul stage under Loose Cultivator status would be weak; therefore, he had to prepare more moves, just in case.
He himself was not afraid of the other party seeking revenge after escaping; he was worried that in desperation, their hands would reach his family, which would undoubtedly be troublesome to deal with.
As the Blood Demon Ancestor was slightly delayed by the beam, he immediately seized the opportunity to catch up, and his Sky-splitting Halberd swung down like a lightning flash.
The Blood Demon Ancestor, who had no time to summon other magic weapons to block, could only put the blood jade scroll with its greatly damaged spiritual power in front of him, hoping it could buy him some time to breathe.
Splatter!
The Sky-splitting Halberd sliced through the air in front of the Blood Demon Ancestor like a hot knife through butter.
The Blood Demon Ancestor’s wide-open eyes were filled with disbelief.
At the same time, he felt as if his body, along with his soul, had been brutally slashed, causing his entire body to tremble in pain, unable to move for a while.
And Xu Mu followed up with another blow.
Only then did the Blood Demon Ancestor know that Five Poisons God Monarch could not escape, because he simply could not.
The Sky-splitting Halberd in Xu Mu’s hand was simply too overpowering; it easily tore apart his body, and his Nascent Soul was nearly split in half too.
The Nascent Soul was not physical, almost impossible to sever, but now Xu Mu had done it, just like a massive gash had been carved into a body, with the vital Benyuan energy seeping out uncontrollably like blood.
“That’s quite something!”
Two attacks merely gravely injured the Blood Demon Ancestor but didn’t kill him, which somewhat surprised Xu Mu.
This indicated that the Blood Demon Ancestor had various defensive methods that could have a slight effect on the Sky-splitting Halberd.
Before he had time to marvel, the beam from the white fox puppet shot over again. This time, the Blood Demon Ancestor had no ability to resist, and half his body turned into blue crystal.
