Chapter 837: Chapter 545: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind (4K)_2

The strongest protector of Blood Sea Palace was killed, and the remaining Blood Sea Palace elders and disciples were no match for the disciples of Lu Changsheng and the group of elders he brought with him.

Lin Qingzhi and the 365 disciples of Mount Taihua Sacred Land formed the Minor Celestial Circulation Star Battle Formation, trapping the entire stronghold, preventing the Blood Sea Palace elders and disciples from escaping.

One by one, the elders and disciples of Blood Sea Palace fell.

Lu Changsheng appeared inside the palace of Blood Sea Palace, waved his hand, and swept away all the cultivation techniques and elixir pills.

The cultivation techniques and elixir pills of Blood Sea Palace were indeed sinister, but like a dagger, it all depended on how they were used.

This stronghold of Blood Sea Palace saw the complete annihilation of several thousand elders and disciples.

...

“Letting them die like this is actually letting them off easy.”

“Take this Blood Sea Palace elder for example; his real name is Chen Fu. Due to practicing demonic skills and going mad, he massacred the living in a hundred cities overnight, leaving a thousand miles without the crowing of a chicken.”

Lin Tianyi released True Qi from his palm, destroying a demon chief’s corpse.

Blood Sea Palace had recruited many demon chiefs wanted by the various Holy Lands, and many were extremely vicious.

Lin Tianyi was indignant.

After the destruction of this Blood Sea Palace stronghold, Lin Qingzhi gathered the 365 Celestial Standard Flags and handed them back to his master, Lu Changsheng: “Master, why would the ancient demon worms devour the internal organs of Lianshan Holy Land’s elders, then choose to control their corpses and even serve Blood Sea Palace?”

“This is also something your teacher finds utterly puzzling. There is something strange about this place; we must leave quickly.”

Lu Changsheng set aside the issues he couldn’t figure out for the moment, prioritizing their safety above all.

“Since you’ve come here, don’t even think about leaving.”

“Ah!!!!!”

An icy voice emerged, followed by the screams of the elders of Mount Taihua Sacred Land.

An elder at the third realm of the Immortal Emperor had an arm broken and couldn’t move.

Above the Valley of Doom, thousands of demon chiefs dressed in blood robes appeared, led by an individual with a terrifying face scarred by severe burns.

But his aura was extremely daunting, and even the forbidden grounds of Valley of Doom trembled, causing the active ancient demon worms to fall back into stillness.

Aside from the leading protector of Blood Sea Palace, the auras of other demon chiefs were also frightening, stronger than those from the Demon Sect’s branch in Valley of Doom!

These demon chiefs surrounded the Mount Taihua team led by Lu Changsheng.

“Three protectors!”

Lin Tianyi was shocked.

Among the demon chiefs surrounding them, there were actually three Divine King Realm Demon Sect powerhouses!

Heretic cultivators of the Divine King Realm held the position of protector in the Blood Sea Palace!

The faces of the elders from Mount Taihua Sacred Land, as well as the many disciples of Lu Changsheng, turned slightly pale.

The reinforcements from Blood Sea Palace arrived too quickly, as if… it was all anticipated!

“More worrisome than this is Song Tianfang.”

Lu Changsheng’s face became exceedingly grave.

The leading protector of Blood Sea Palace was none other than Song Tianfang, demon chief who had pursued Lin Xuantong and others within Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

Song Tianfang was a Great Demon who had been wanted by Kunlun Holy Land for thirty million years, possessing astonishing cultivation. Lin Xuantong, even with the Fourth Sword Realm, couldn’t defeat Song Tianfang and was forced to use the Fifth Sword Realm, severely injuring Song Tianfang before escaping with Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing’er.

Lu Changsheng had no confidence when facing a Demon Sect powerhouse of Song Tianfang’s level.

Although Lu Changsheng had mastered the first chapter of the mnemonic verse of the Fifth Sword Realm, and it was with the sword techniques from the first chapter of the Fifth Sword Realm’s mnemonic verse that Lin Xuantong had inflicted heavy damage on Song Tianfang, Lin Xuantong had used the power of a fifth rank Divine King to execute the Fifth Sword Realm, which was far more powerful than the Sword Qi Lu Changsheng could produce.

Pessimistically speaking, without using other methods, Lu Changsheng’s chances of defeating Song Tianfang were close to zero.

“Song Tianfang!”

Lin Tianyi and the elders of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, had heard of this Great Demon wanted by Kunlun Holy Land.

Song Tianfang had led the experts of Blood Sea Palace in an ambush against Lin Xuantong in Qianyuan Cave Heaven.

Song Tianfang’s cultivation was just slightly higher than Lin Xuantong’s, and it was only by utilizing the exquisite techniques of the Fifth Sword Realm that Lin Xuantong managed to defeat Song Tianfang.

With Song Tianfang leading the ambush against the people of Mount Taihua Sacred Land again, and in the absence of Lin Xuantong, the strongest they had was Lu Changsheng.

However, Lu Changsheng still had an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill that could temporarily grant him the cultivation level of a sixth or even fifth rank Divine King.

But aside from Song Tianfang, there were two protectors from the Blood Sea Palace, one of whom was an eighth rank Divine King, and the other a ninth rank Divine King.

Should he take the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill and engage in a decisive battle to the death with Song Tianfang, if these two protectors of the Blood Sea Palace were to distract him and drag out the effects of the pill, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Elder Lin, are you confident you can hold off the other two protectors of the Blood Sea Palace, allowing me to deal with Song Tianfang?”

Lu Changsheng communicated with Lin Tianyi through a message.

The disciples under his command were not yet at the level where they could restrain a Demon Chief of the Divine King Realm.

At this time, they could only hope for Lin Tianyi, who was also in the Divine King Realm and one of the Supreme Elders.

“You want to face Song Tianfang alone? Do you realize that he is a master of the same caliber as the Saint Lord?”

Lin Tianyi thought Lu Changsheng must have gone mad.

The strength of Song Tianfang was on the same level as Lin Xuantong’s, meaning that Lu Changsheng was intending to battle a master of Lin Xuantong’s caliber; could he possibly be his match?

“I have Elixir Pills that can temporarily boost my strength.”

“So that’s it… Hmm? Could it be that you have a twenty-first rank Divine Pill? If that’s the case, we might have a slim chance. I’ll try my best to hold off the other two protectors of the Blood Sea Palace later.”

Shocked by the revelation, Lin Tianyi understood this was their only chance; as long as Lu Changsheng defeats Song Tianfang, the people of the Blood Sea Palace would flee.

He could only do his best to restrain the other two protectors of the Blood Sea Palace and buy time for Lu Changsheng.

“I want to test his strength first.”

Lu Changsheng channeled a vast amount of True Qi into the Immortal Sword Purple Lightning Clear Frost. The abundant True Qi poured into the sword, causing the Divine Sword to emit a resounding sword cry, and an invisible Sword Sea formed, covering thousands of miles. The roaming Sword Qi left trails on countless Ancient Trees below.

The vast sea of clouds was disrupted and torn apart by the invisible Sword Qi.

“Fifth Sword Realm—Sword Domain?” Song Tianfang was slightly taken aback but remained largely composed. “I didn’t expect that not even Lin Xuantong’s disciple would have reached the Fifth Sword Realm. I’m not sure whether to say Lin Xuantong has a way with disciples, or to say that he’s not even as talented as his own pupil.”

Lu Changsheng caught the expression on Song Tianfang’s face, seeming as if Song Tianfang had known all along that he had mastered the Fifth Sword Realm.

The Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill could instantly restore True Qi and elevate one’s cultivation level; before that, Lu Changsheng wanted to use his current cultivation to probe Song Tianfang’s strength and deplete his True Qi.

The Sword Domain formed, and numerous Sword Qi swept towards Song Tianfang from all directions, intending to obliterate him and the several thousand experts of the Blood Sea Palace!

Song Tianfang clasped his hands in a circular fashion: “However, you and your master are still worlds apart.”

“All is Void!”

The space of ten thousand zhang before Song Tianfang suddenly collapsed, forming a space-time vortex with a diameter of ten thousand zhang, forcibly swallowing the Sword Domain.

Sword Qi was absorbed by the space-time vortex, unable to escape.

The Sword Domain began to disintegrate and quickly was destroyed.

“Very strong.”

Lu Changsheng finally understood the terror of a master of Lin Xuantong’s level.

Without using the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, he would not be able to compete.

Emperor Ku, Yuexi, Chu Wuqing, Tian Chengjian – these unparalleled geniuses from the eight Divine Palaces of the Heavenly Court naturally had higher talent than Song Tianfang but didn’t have as much cultivation time as him.

Song Tianfang’s profound cultivation of over thirty million years was enough to let him defeat numerous geniuses.

There was no choice but to use the precious Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill now.

The Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, a twenty-first rank Divine Pill, was extremely precious, but when compared to one’s life, it was not much.

Just as Lu Changsheng was about to take the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, Lin Xuantong’s voice rang out: “Song Tianfang, you’ve fallen into a trap.”

Lin Xuantong, the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, Jiang Family Ancestor, and a group of Mount Taihua powerhouses appeared on the periphery of Song Tianfang and the other Blood Sea Palace experts!

“Saint Lord?!”

The elders of Mount Taihua Sacred Land were overjoyed; Lin Xuantong had arrived so timely!

The Demon Chiefs of the Blood Sea Palace turned pale.

They had ambushed Lu Changsheng’s team, not expecting that in the end, it would be they who would fall into Lin Xuantong’s trap!
