"Bang!"
As the violent Origin Power fell, Su Lei's life aura also rapidly dissipated. In the end, he unwillingly closed his eyes, his corpse falling directly onto the earth in the forest, emitting a dull sound.
This abrupt sound directly alarmed Yao Ling, who was in the midst of fighting, as well as a group of other Demon Seal Crowd experts. They subconsciously turned their heads to look, and when they saw Su Lei's corpse falling, each of them revealed a hint of horror in their eyes.
The Dao Sect disciples, seeing this, were greatly encouraged, and their attacks became even more ruthless. The Fire Crystal Ape King roared even louder, commanding the group of Fire Crystal Demon Apes to kill the Demon Seal Crowd.
With Su Lei killed, the Demon Seal Crowd was undoubtedly in a state of decline. Facing the joint siege of the Dao Sect disciples and dozens of Fire Crystal Demon Apes, people were constantly being forcefully killed. Yao Ling, who was entangled by Lin Dong, watched from the side, his eyes splitting with rage. His cold gaze instantly locked onto Lin Dong, and he roared.
"Boy, you're courting death!"
Yao Ling looked at Lin Dong, who was entangling him again, and actually ignored the zither music. His hands rapidly transformed into a strange hand seal, and then formed a palm print, directly striking towards Lin Dong.
"Origin Curse Seal!"
Vast Origin Power surged out, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a palm print that was almost tangible. It howled through the air, directly striking towards Lin Dong head-on.
Lin Dong, who originally wanted to continue engaging in close combat with Yao Ling, after seeing the palm print containing terrifying Origin Power fluctuations, the gentle power within his body also surged into the wings on his back. In the next moment, the pair of huge Azure Dragon Wings overlapped in front of him, completely enveloping Lin Dong within them.
"Roar!"
The Azure Dragon Wings shone with a great azure light. Immediately afterwards, under the infusion of that gentle power, a massive Azure Dragon phantom instantly took shape, coiling around Lin Dong's body, which was wrapped into an egg shape by the Azure Dragon Wings, protecting him within.
The coiling Azure Dragon vaguely resembled an ancient bronze giant bell. The Azure Dragon was like a relief sculpture on the bell, exuding an indestructible sense of stability.
"Immovable Azure Dragon Bell!"
The moment the ancient Azure Dragon Bell formed, the howling giant palm print finally arrived, slamming fiercely onto the giant azure ancient bell.
"Clang!!!"
The melodious chime of the bell constantly echoed throughout this scarlet mountain forest, attracting everyone's attention.
Amidst the worried gazes of the many Dao Sect disciples, the ancient Azure Dragon Bell trembled for a long time before finally, a tiny crack appeared.
"Crack!"
The appearance of that crack was like a signal. As the power on the palm print continued to burst out, one after another, cracks appeared on the surface of the bell.
Looking at the precarious azure bell, the corners of Yao Ling's mouth slowly curved into a ferocious smile, but the next moment, it froze on his face. Because, after the Azure Dragon Bell shattered, a deep azure stream of light directly pierced through the illusory palm print and headed straight for Yao Ling.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and Yao Ling hurriedly raised a palm, once again fiercely striking towards Lin Dong, who was attacking head-on.
"Bang!"
Violent Origin Power burst out once again. Yao Ling managed to force Lin Dong back with a palm, but immediately afterwards, his expression suddenly changed. Then, without any warning, streaks of fresh blood burst out from his body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As those wounds appeared, Yao Ling, who was originally more than twice the size of an ordinary person, was like a punctured balloon, his figure rapidly shrinking. At the same time, the aura on his body was constantly decreasing.
"Pfft!"
Yao Ling spat out another mouthful of blood. After glancing at Lin Dong, in the next instant, he directly locked his gaze onto Ying Huanhuan. Looking at the smiling girl, Yao Ling only felt a burst of dizziness in his brain.
"You!"
At this moment, Yao Ling finally realized just how terrifying this girl, whom he had previously ignored in order to deal with Lin Dong, was. She was actually able to silently affect the operation of the Origin Power within his Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm body, directly forcibly breaking his Demon Origin Curse Body and causing him to suffer a backlash.
However, Lin Dong was different from Yao Ling, he liked to say a few harsh words every now and then. Seeing that Yao Ling's Demon Origin Curse Body had been broken, Lin Dong quickly used the less than half of his remaining special power, his fingers flickering with a faint light.
"Old dog, eat my finger!"
Pointing out again, the power within Lin Dong's body surged out continuously, condensing a huge finger in front of him. Then, carrying the momentum of suppressing the heavens and the earth, it fell fiercely towards Yao Ling, whose aura had greatly diminished.
Facing Lin Dong's another finger, Yao Ling's face changed slightly. Feeling the power that was even stronger than before, a hint of ruthlessness and ferocity flashed in Yao Ling's eyes in the next moment.
Immediately afterwards, Yao Ling bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of blood essence spurted out instantly. At the same time, his hands formed seals rapidly. As the hand seals took shape, the Origin Power in his body roared out again, pouring into that blood essence.
Under the enormous Origin Power, that mouthful of blood essence instantly transformed into a phantom-like blood-colored armor, appearing on Yao Ling's body. Then, the hand seals in Yao Ling's hand changed again, and those strange, dark, ancient runes that originally appeared on the surface of his body appeared once again on the surface of the blood-colored armor.
"Blood Sacrifice, Demon Blood Armor!"
Looking at the blood-colored armor with the strange black runes, a dignified look could not help but flash in Lin Dong's eyes. That thing actually had a trace of similarity to the Demon Emperor Armor that Yan had taken away back then.
The moment the blood-colored armor appeared, the ancient yellow, enormous giant finger also happened to strike. In the next instant, under the gaze of Lin Dong and Yao Ling, they collided with a bang.
However, what made Lin Dong feel strange was that when the ancient yellow giant finger, condensed from the special gentle power provided by the Ancestral Stone, landed on the blood-colored Demon Armor, it did not erupt with extremely powerful energy fluctuations. Instead, it entered a state of wrestling, consuming each other.
Lin Dong clearly saw that within the ancient yellow giant finger, strands of gentle power were constantly dissolving with those black runes.
As the purification power of the Ancestral Stone and the ancient black runes dissolved, the energy fluctuations in the ancient yellow giant finger and the blood-colored Demon Armor also continued to decrease.
A look of horror and solemnity flashed across Yao Ling's pale face, because he discovered that in this strange consumption, it did not seem like he was gaining the upper hand.
"Chichi!"
While Lin Dong and Yao Ling were in a stalemate, Ying Huanhuan once again plucked the strings of her zither. However, this time, she was no longer attacking Yao Ling, but directly strangling the Demon Seal Crowd with the Dao Sect disciples.
In just a short while, all of the Demon Seal Crowd, except for Yao Ling, the lone commander, had been left behind in this scarlet mountain forest.
"Chichi!"
The giant finger, which had become dim and lightless, was still in a stalemate with the blood-colored Demon Armor that was on the verge of shattering. However, judging from this posture, Lin Dong should be able to win soon.
Suddenly, Ying Huanhuan's gaze froze. In the next moment, her slender hand plucked the strings of the zither fiercely, and several sound waves flew out from the emerald green ancient zither. The target of the attack was actually Lin Dong.
After sensing the movement, Lin Dong quickly turned his head to look. Immediately afterwards, his pupils shrank instantly. He saw that several sound waves flew directly past his scalp. Lin Dong even saw several strands of hair falling down.
But in the next instant, Lin Dong's face changed, and he immediately flew back. At the same time, he looked towards the direction where he had originally been standing.
"Boom!"
The space suddenly fluctuated for a while. Immediately afterwards, a large hand appeared out of thin air. In the palm of the hand, terrifying Origin Power swept out, directly shattering those sound waves.
After shattering those sound waves with one palm, a figure slowly appeared in front of Lin Dong and the others. It was an old man wearing a brown robe. His gloomy face did not look like someone easy to get along with.
At this moment, the brown-robed old man was looking at Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan with great interest. After scanning them, he said with a chuckle.
"Hehe, interesting. I didn't expect that this time, while carrying out a mission, I would actually encounter two genius disciples of Dao Sect. If I kill you two, especially you, if you die, Ying Xuanzi and that madman should be so angry that they vomit blood, right?"
Lin Dong, who had retreated to Ying Huanhuan's side, almost narrowed his eyes into a dot. There was even more horror in his gaze as he looked at the old man. He said to Ying Huanhuan in a low voice.
"Senior Sister, leave quickly, this guy..."
"He is a Great Accomplishment Life Profound Realm expert, indeed very strong. However, we are not without helpers!"
There was no panic on Ying Huanhuan's face at all, which made Lin Dong feel slightly relieved. At this time, the other Dao Sect disciples also gathered, staring vigilantly at the brown-robed old man.
Under the gaze of many Dao Sect disciples, the brown-robed old man smiled indifferently, glanced at Ying Huanhuan, and then turned his gaze to Lin Dong, chuckling.
"You must be Lin Dong, right? Tsk tsk, you've even learned the Dragon Clan's body refining martial arts, no wonder you can become brothers with those two demon beasts. If we capture you, I think that Sky Demon Marten won't continue to run, will he?"
Hearing the brown-robed old man's words, Lin Dong's eyes narrowed. The brown-robed old man's meaning seemed to be that he was searching for Little Marten.
"Some time ago, Lord Marten and Lord Tiger appeared in the Blood Rock Land and killed many people from the Yuan Gate, and then disappeared."
At this moment, the Fire Crystal Ape King's voice suddenly rang out, causing Lin Dong and the others to turn their gazes over. The brown-robed old man also looked at the Fire Crystal Ape King, sneering.
"Heh, you vile creature, you're quite cunning. You promised to obey us, but suddenly turned against us. What, the Sword Saint can kill you, but the Yuan Gate can't?"
"Roar! Old monkey, stop barking! Lord Marten left unscathed from the hands of the Yuan Gate's three Sect Leaders back then. Some time ago, Lord Marten killed dozens of Yuan Gate disciples on the border of the Yuan Gate's Yuan Region, and we didn't see the Yuan Gate dare to fart!"
The Fire Crystal Ape King said with great disdain, but Lin Dong and the others could see that this spineless ape was completely bluffing, putting on a brave front to conceal its cowardice, simply because it had previously sided with Dao Sect and knew that if it defected to the Yuan Gate, the brown-robed old man would not let it go.
The matter had to start from when Little Marten left.
Little Marten and Little Flame did not leave alone, but took with them Zhou Tong, who was at the Revolving Wheel Realm in his peak state and possessed the Space Ancestor Symbol.
The Eastern Xuan Region was vast and boundless, and the distance between the eight super sects was not short. Normally speaking, using the Space Ancestor Symbol would naturally be the fastest way to travel, but this would easily expose their whereabouts and secrets. Secondly, it would not be conducive to Little Marten and Zhou Tong recovering from their injuries.
Therefore, along the way, the three of them traveled while Little Flame trained, and Little Marten and Zhou Tong continuously recovered their strength.
And this Blood Rock Land, although a chaotic place, was also considered an important location, connecting all directions. Moreover, because this place was a mixed bag, it was excellent for collecting information.
Therefore, the three of Little Marten naturally regarded this place as a transit station. In addition, Little Marten's nature could be described as extremely vengeful, and Zhou Tong also had a deep-seated hatred for the Yuan Gate. Sometimes, in order to make things easier when traveling, they would carefully sneak into the edge of the Yuan Gate's territory and directly cross a section, which made the killing even more enjoyable.
Little Marten enjoyed the killing, but the Yuan Gate was furious and directly sent experts to search for Little Marten's whereabouts.
The reason why the Fire Crystal Ape King was so afraid of Lin Xuan was because this guy had led the way for Little Marten and had personally witnessed Little Marten using the Sword Saint's name to directly suppress a Death Profound Realm expert, scaring the Death Profound Realm expert so much that his face changed drastically and he panicked. Little Marten took the opportunity to slip away.
At that time, the Fire Crystal Ape King hid directly because he was afraid of death, and he happened to see everything.
That was a name that directly frightened a Death Profound Realm expert. The Fire Crystal Ape King was only a Nirvana Realm, and it was estimated that the Sword Saint's strength was enough to kill him with a single glance. How dare he offend him?
In addition, the Blood Rock Land was originally a chaotic place, with a near-fanatical pursuit of experts. The Sword Saint, a person who suppressed the Yuan Gate's three Sect Leaders, a fierce man who could continue to wield his sword without changing his expression even if the flesh and blood of one hand disappeared, it could be said that this name had unparalleled deterrent power in the Blood Rock Land.
Many of these desperadoes might not fear Dao Sect, the Yuan Gate, or the Revolving Wheel Realm experts of the eight super sects, because they did not believe that the other party would trouble them for some small matter. Even if they wanted to, they could just run away.
However, if that person was replaced by the Sword Saint, who would dare to bet their life? That was someone who, once he had decided on something, would not even give face to Revolving Wheel Realm experts. Back then, if it hadn't been for that Reincarnation Realm expert coming forward, perhaps the Sword Saint would have forcibly kept the Yuan Gate's three Sect Leaders.
After hearing the Fire Crystal Ape King's words, the corners of the brown-robed old man's mouth twitched involuntarily. Was it that the Yuan Gate didn't dare to make a move? It was that they couldn't make a move at all.
Not long ago, after the end of the Hundred Dynasty War, the three Sect Leaders were severely injured by the Sword Saint alone and directly announced that they were going into seclusion to recuperate. Almost all of the remaining Death Profound Realm experts also announced that they were going into seclusion to cultivate. Within the sect, only some Life Profound Realm experts were left in charge. Who dared to make any moves? Were they really not afraid of the Sword Saint blocking the Yuan Gate's Yuan Region and killing them?
As for the Death Profound Realm expert who encountered that Sky Demon Marten, he was just an old ancestor of a super dynasty. He happened to be on his way back to the sect after receiving orders when he ran into him and was directly panicked by the Sky Demon Marten with a name.
Afterwards, the Yuan Gate's experts investigated for a long time and found that the Sword Saint had been staying in Dao Sect before they began to move around outside, searching for the Sky Demon Marten and his companions.
This brown-robed old man surnamed Jiang was one of the elders who was ordered to go out to handle affairs.
However, the Yuan Gate was afraid, that was their Yuan Gate's business, how could you outsiders arbitrarily arrange it? Besides, the Yuan Gate, the head of the dignified eight super sects, was that called fear? That was called respecting the Sword Saint, that was awe of the strong.
"Humph! You dare to arrange my Yuan Gate, you vile creature, you are really courting death!"
Elder Jiang's face immediately sank, and his aura swept out, causing Lin Dong and the others' faces to change slightly.
However, the next moment, a chuckle rang out, causing Lin Dong's face to show a bit of a smile.
"Tsk tsk, you old geezer, why are you yelling so happily? Aren't you afraid of the Sword Saint anymore?"
As that casual, playful voice rang out, Elder Jiang's expression instantly turned gloomy, his face alternating between green and white, showcasing his superb face-changing skills.
Under Elder Jiang's cold gaze, two figures rapidly flew over from the distance, then stopped not far away, blocking Elder Jiang and Yao Ling's retreat.
"Humph, this old man is a Yuan Gate Elder, why would I fear a junior who has just broken through to the Life Profound Realm? What a joke!"
Facing Little Marten's mockery, a hint of guilty conscience flashed in Elder Jiang's eyes, but he sternly shouted, and after seeing Little Marten's mocking gaze, he couldn't help but speak again.
"Back then, if he hadn't relied on the power of that Ancient Battlefield, with his mere Lesser Life Profound Realm cultivation, why would my Yuan Gate's three Sect Leaders need to take action? This Elder could have captured him and made him kneel in my Yuan Gate Ancestral Land to be punished!"
"Oh? Really? Last time, who was it that, in the Yuan Region, upon hearing the Sword Saint's name, immediately turned tail and ran?"
Little Marten didn't refute upon hearing this, but instead smiled and asked, causing Elder Jiang, who originally had a face full of anger, to blush with shame, but he still stubbornly said.
"Last time was because this Elder was summoned by the sect, so I let you off. Today, this Elder will definitely capture all of you and bring you back to my Yuan Gate!"
Facing Elder Jiang's stubbornness, Little Marten still didn't refute, but simply folded his arms and watched the other party leisurely, and then even gestured behind Elder Jiang.
Ying Huanhuan, who was holding the zither to the side, also widened her eyes, and with a bit of surprise, shouted.
"Senior Brother, you're here!"
As soon as the words 'Senior Brother' came out, Elder Jiang's face instantly turned pale, and then, without paying any attention to Yao Ling beside him, he directly used his movement technique martial arts and slipped away to the flank without looking back.
