Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

As the words left his mouth, the youth’s face suddenly distorted. His jaw shrank while his nose and ears rapidly elongated. His eyeballs bulged, the green light within them intensifying, until his face resembled that of a beast.

As if some threshold had been crossed, the transformation was accompanied by a powerful and terrifying aura that burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam, surging out to fill the canyon.

"What is this monster?" Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed. ’I can’t believe this youth can transform. In just a few moments, not only have his aura and strength increased, but his face has also changed. It looks a bit like a fox’s, doesn’t it?’

"You all must die! Become my nourishment!" The youth stared at the group and let out a strange roar. It was a low, bloodthirsty, animalistic sound.

Immediately after, a bone-chilling energy erupted from the youth’s body, sweeping through the air as he lunged madly toward Ye Wushuang.

The youth’s cold eyes were fixed on Ye Wushuang. His speed was even greater now, and his Body Technique was bizarre. Like a streak of light leaving a trail of gray afterimages, he closed the distance with Ye Wushuang in the blink of an eye.

BOOM!

A massive claw swiped down, its talons as sharp as an eagle’s, piercing at extreme speed toward the top of Ye Wushuang’s head.

Even before the claws reached him, the tearing force they emitted left Ye Wushuang with no doubt that he would die instantly if they struck his head. There was no question about it.

This youth was very strong, and Ye Wushuang didn’t dare to be careless. He pushed his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their absolute peak as torrential Dragon Spirit True Qi surged from his eighty-one Qi Vortexes, pouring madly into his saber.

Instantly, the Inscriptions on the blade shone brilliantly. The Dragon Blood Battle Saber sensed Ye Wushuang’s slaughterous intent and let out a draconic roar.

Slash!

Ye Wushuang roared and swept his saber out. The blade flashed, blazing with blood-red light. A wave of dragon-shaped Saber Qi, imbued with endless killing power, tore through the void and crashed against the youth’s claws.

Seizing the opportunity, the youth’s figure flashed forward. As if completely disregarding his own body, he forced his way through the shockwave of the impact, appearing right before Ye Wushuang. His sharp claws aimed straight for Ye Wushuang’s heart—every move was a fatal strike.

At the same time, Jian Bufan stepped into the air, thrusting his Flying Snow Sword forward. A flurry of snowflakes filled the void, masking the sword’s brilliance. The attack was simple and unadorned, yet its killing power was absolutely shocking.

SWOOSH!

The Flying Snow Sword shot forward gracefully, its razor-sharp aura condensed into a single point as it pierced relentlessly toward the youth.

That fatal Sword Dao Slaughter made even the youth feel a touch of fear, and he thrust out a claw to block it.

However, the Sword Aura was too sharp, and it pierced through his arm in an instant!

With no other choice, the youth had to retreat, abandoning his attack on Ye Wushuang.

But Ye Wushuang swiftly gave chase, unleashing a torrent of saber flashes. He hacked away relentlessly, and many of the strikes landed on the youth.

But the youth seemed to feel no pain. Just as he had claimed before, it was as if he couldn’t be killed!

Their combined attacks had failed to cause him any real harm!

Seeing this from a distance, Ye Rou immediately shouted to Ye Wushuang and Jian Bufan, "Xiaoshuang, Senior Brother Jian, keep him busy!"

Hearing her, Ye Wushuang and Jian Bufan glanced back. They saw Ye Rou holding the Grand Emperor’s Bow of Destruction, channeling energy into a terrifying arrow.

The two exchanged a look, instantly understanding Ye Rou’s plan. They immediately unleashed a storm of blades, attacking from left and right to quickly entangle the youth.

SWOOSH!

Finding the right opportunity, Ye Rou poured all her strength into drawing the bowstring. She fired a streak of black light that pierced through the void. Howling with Holy Destruction Killing Power, it shot toward the youth.

Seeing this, a green light flashed in the youth’s eyes, and he tried to make a hasty retreat.

Ye Wushuang seized the chance to use the Dragon Emperor Mountain Sealing Stamp, manifesting an Immortal Dragon Mountain that descended from the sky to pin the youth down.

In just half a breath’s time, the Holy Destruction Killing Arrow arrived as expected, piercing straight through the youth’s head with perfect accuracy.

BANG!

The head exploded on impact, and the powerful backlash sent the headless torso flying.

"It hit!"

Yang Qing’er and the others were overjoyed.

However, high in the air, Ye Wushuang and Jian Bufan’s brows were tightly furrowed. They felt no joy, because the intense sense of crisis in their hearts had not faded in the slightest.

CRACK! CRACK!

The headless torso bizarrely stood up, hovering in the void. It continuously spurted blood and bits of flesh—a sight that would make one’s hair stand on end!

"It’s still not dead!"

Everyone was utterly stunned. Its head had been blown to pieces, yet this monster was somehow still not dead!

"Damn you, woman! You’ve destroyed another one of my bodies!" A cold, evil voice emanated from the torso.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The body trembled violently to the sound of splintering bones.

BANG!

The next second, the body exploded. A ray of light shot out from it, rapidly expanding in the void to reveal its true form.

Everyone looked over to see a massive, illusory fox appear in the void. It had three tails that writhed in the air like serpents, and its entire being exuded a bizarre aura.

"A Shadow Demonic Fox!"

Jian Bufan uttered the three words, his expression turning grave.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang turned to look at Jian Bufan, who explained, "The Shadow Demonic Fox is a Demon King-level master from the Endless Wilderness. They use bizarre techniques and can possess the bodies of Cultivators. A Six-Tailed Level Demonic Fox has strength on par with an expert of the Yin Yang Realm. However, this one only has three tails, so it isn’t at the Demon King Level."

"You’re quite knowledgeable!" Hearing this, the Shadow Demonic Fox in the void gave a sinister laugh. "But you’re wrong about one thing. Shadow Demonic Foxes are born with six tails. There’s no such thing as a three-tailed one."

"That’s not right!" Jian Bufan realized, his gaze turning cold. "You are a Demon King! This is just one of your remnant souls!"

"Wrong again," the Shadow Demonic Fox said. "This isn’t a remnant soul, but a mere clone of mine! My true body isn’t here. This is nothing more than one of my Cultivation grounds."

"A Demon King-level clone!" The group’s expressions darkened. ’No wonder it’s so hard to deal with!’ they all thought.

The Shadow Demonic Fox continued, "Perhaps you don’t know this, but I was the one who first discovered the Cangyun Secret Realm. I didn’t touch a single thing, however. I left it as it was and secretly leaked the news to attract Cultivators to come hunt for treasure."

"And then you possess and slaughter them here," Ye Wushuang finished.

"Heheheh, that’s right!" The Shadow Demonic Fox gave a cold, bloodthirsty laugh. "Human bodies contain unique bloodline powers. By constantly possessing them and devouring those bloodlines, I can grow stronger. That’s why I’ve been lying in wait here, possessing batch after batch of Cultivators. Once I devour all of you, I’ll be able to evolve and return to my true body. Then, my Cultivation will increase dramatically."

’Using treasure as bait and the Secret Realm as a slaughterhouse, luring and killing batch after batch of human Cultivators to steal their bloodlines for your own Cultivation... What a vicious scheme!’ A chill ran through Ye Wushuang’s heart. ’The skeletons in the Ancient Forest must have been his doing, too.’

"Alright, that’s the last time I’m explaining myself. Once I’ve taken your bloodlines, I can return to my true body. Let’s start with this woman! Without this constraint, we’ll see how you stop me!"

The Shadow Demonic Fox sneered. Its three enormous tails swept across the sky, powerful enough to crush the Firmament itself, as they chopped down toward Ye Rou.

"You fucking dare!" Ye Wushuang flew into a rage, his Dragon Blood Battle Saber lashing out in a mad frenzy. Its blood-red light dyed the canyon red as a terrifying storm of Killing Power echoed all around.

BOOM!

However, in that same instant, the Shadow Demonic Fox’s figure vanished from the void without a trace. The Dragon Blood Battle Saber struck nothing but air!

At the same time, an intense premonition of death washed over Ye Rou!
