Chapter 1712 - 1709: If Not Now, Then When?

Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable has roamed the cultivation world for many years, and the maxim "existence is reason" is naturally something he has heard.

But now.

When such an absurd thing truly happened to himself, the resistance in his heart surged like a roaring tide, instantly drowning that thread of rationality, making it impossible to accept the reality before him.

Thinking of how he had clawed his way through years on that dark path of cultivation, enduring countless trials and tribulations, only to finally achieve the peak cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage today, standing above many other cultivators.

This cultivation to him was not just a symbol of power but also his greatest asset, the proud fortress he meticulously built over the years which allowed him to traverse the world and look down upon his peers.

However.

Destiny seemed to have played a colossal joke on him.

Who could have predicted that on what seemed an ordinary day,

he would find himself retreating in disgrace before a "ant" at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The terrifying power displayed by that Foundation Establishment cultivator was like an invisible giant hand, crushing his pride, leaving only shock and indignation.

Zhang Nian stood to the side, equally shocked by Xu Wendong’s current invincible presence as if a War God had descended.

Her beautiful eyes widened, lips slightly parted, as she couldn’t help but recall the scene earlier when Xu Wendong instantly killed Master Wudao.

At that time, Master Wudao, although a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, was seen as a figure by ordinary people.

Yet compared to the Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable now, his strength was like heaven and earth apart, under the overwhelming oppressive force of the Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable, the abilities of Master Wudao truly seemed like the light of a firefly, insignificant and not worth mentioning.

After a moment of distraction, Zhang Nian was the first to recover, keenly aware of the current critical point in the battle situation.

Her eyes shifted, looking towards those loose cultivators of Qingyuan City hidden in the darkness, blending with the night, her red lips opened, and she shouted, "If not now, when?"

The voice was crisp and pleasant, yet carried an undeniable authority, like a military order, breaking the silence of the night instantly.

Hearing Zhang Nian’s command, those more than twenty loose cultivators of Qingyuan City, who seemed like leopards long awaiting their moment, rejuvenated and moved together.

They appeared phantom-like under the cover of night, launching a sudden storm-like attack on the unprepared disciples of the Blood Sect.

In the past, these loose cultivators were mere fringe figures in the cultivation world; before the fearsome name of the Blood Sect, they were like startled birds.

Even to speak of attacking proactively, just seeing the hem of the Blood Sect disciples’ clothing from afar would scare them to take detours, not having the slightest courage to provoke the Blood Sect.

But now things were different, their morale skyrocketed as if infused with boundless courage.

Firstly, Xu Wendong had previously used a superb formation to display his might, slaughtering many Blood Sect disciples like cutting melons and vegetables, that bloody yet inspiring scene showing them the dawn of victory.

Secondly, Xu Wendong, with just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level, had outrightly crushed the peak Nascent Soul Stage Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable.

This feat was like a calming pill for them, making them believe that under Xu Wendong’s leadership, they would surely win this battle today.

Of course.

There’s also the most critical aspect, as they are now within the extraordinary formation set up by Xu Wendong, like donning an indestructible invisible armor.

This formation as cover not only concealed their own aura but also boosted their attack power, allowing them to slaughter the disciples of the Blood Sect without restraint.

A loose cultivator named Lin Yu at the Golden Core Stage Initial, usually gathering herbs and practicing alchemy in the mountains, rarely engaging in combat, now had a resolute expression.

Holding an ancient horsetail whisk in hand, after the formation’s light poured in, the silver threads of the horsetail whisk stood upright like steel needles, glistening with a blinding light.

With a loud shout, he charged into the group of Blood Sect disciples, waving the horsetail whisk. Wherever the silver threads reached, the protective spiritual power of the Blood Sect disciples tore like thin paper, screaming as they fell.

On another side, Zhao Lan, adept at the Water Manipulation Technique, was enveloped in water vapor, which, under the catalysis of the formation’s power, turned into ice blades that shot towards the enemies like sharp arrows.

The Blood Sect disciples hurriedly defended, only to find these ice blades not only exceptionally sharp but also carrying a strange chill. Once hit, their bodies seemed frozen, movements slowed, able only to watch as other attacks followed, resulting in immediate heavy casualties.

Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable glanced sideways at the miserable state of his disciples, growing increasingly anxious and furious, his sword technique becoming more chaotic and violent.

He leapt high, gathering spiritual power into his long blade, slashing out in a giant arc in the air towards Xu Wendong with a blood-colored crescent blade that seemed able to cleave the heavens and earth.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong was not flustered. He placed the longsword before his chest, the sword rotating rapidly, forming a spiritual power vortex that absorbed the blood-colored crescent blade entirely.

Then, he flung his hand back, shooting a sword qi imbued with the power of the formation towards the Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable like a long rainbow piercing the sun.

The Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable, unable to dodge, was hit on the shoulder by the sword qi. Blood spurted wildly, but he seemed unaware of the pain, roaring as he charged once more.

Xu Wendong retreated, forming hand seals with both hands, chanting under his breath, causing the formation to change shape instantly, transforming into a field of thorn bushes, with vines writhing like pythons, wrapping towards the Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable.

The Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable slashed wildly, but the vines were endless, and he gradually fell into a predicament.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Qingyuan loose cultivators, their cooperation became increasingly seamless.

Li Feng wielded the Fireball Technique, and under the amplification of the formation, the fireball grew immensely large, crashing into the Blood Sect disciples like a burning meteor, completely blocking their retreat.

Wang Yue used Earth Magic to suddenly raise earthen walls from the ground, trapping the Blood Sect disciples within, leaving them struggling to escape.

Under the united efforts of all, most of the Blood Sect disciples perished or were wounded. The remaining began to flee in all directions, only to be blocked one by one by the formation’s restrictions, eventually falling one by one in a pool of blood.

"I will fight you with my life!" Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable, looking like a thoroughly enraged lion, stormed in rage, his eyes bloodshot as if bleeding.

His hands moved quickly, fingers weaving hand seals like nimble flood dragons, the spiritual power around him surged wildly like a stormy sea.

At this moment, he appeared as an ancient fierce beast suddenly awakened from endless sleep, every muscle tensed, exuding a suffocatingly terrifying aura that seemed almost tangible.

This aura was like a towering black beam, shooting straight to the sky, causing ripples in space wherever it passed.

For a moment.

The stars originally twinkling in the night sky seemed to lose their light under this vast aura, dimming as if frightened by this extreme ferocity, refraining from shining to avoid competing with it.

Xu Wendong also frowned, filled with curiosity, not knowing what means the Blood Slaughter Demon Venerable was going to deploy!
