Having their thoughts exposed, the faces of those people grew cold. They were about to say something when the lady exclaimed coldly, “Why are we wasting time with them? Kill them. We’re running out of time.”
Both parties had a great change in their expressions as these words were spoken.
The people around the lady knew that negotiation was pointless now and retreat wasn’t an option. A decisive action was needed.
Even ants cling to life, let alone humans.
Although the people around Pei Xuanjing were not as powerful as the opposing party, they mustered courage to fight with all their might for survival.
Of those three famous battlefield generals, one stayed with the lady providing her protection. The remaining two continued their fierce challenges with the reinforcements.
These generals-on-the-battlefield were equivalent to the Spirit Realm cultivators in the Daming World. Although they lacked the grandeur of those cultivators who practiced Dao of Qi refining and could casually influence the Heavenly Earthly Force, their frightening strength was gained from the horror of refining Qi.
Besides Pei Xuanjing, the people accompanying him were only a dozen Thousand Leaders, so even if they allied to fight an outnumbered enemy, it was challenging to defeat a general of such high standard.
Those two men entered the battlefield of Pei Xuanjing’s allies like a tiger amongst a pack of wolves. Their fierce attacks killed any who dared to resist even before they had a chance to retaliate.
The Blood Qi of the dead spread across the battlefield, and was absorbed by the Blood Sacrifice Array controlled by the white-haired man. This caused the previously weakening blood pool to boil once again.
Everything was happening in an instant. Even Pei Xuanjing was unable to help.
Pei Xuanjing’s Qi refining and Refining Spirit could be exerted only to the limit of a general, following the tremendous suppression.
As one of the generals leading a sweeping onslaught approached Pei Xuanjing, he carelessly swung his blade at Pei Xuanjing, not hesitating in the slightest.
He remembered that Pei Xuanjing was their guide whom they had invited at a great cost and without him, they could not have accessed the Dragon Cave so effortlessly.
Yet, what did that matter now? At this point, the guide was no longer of any use. It would be more beneficial to sacrifice him to the Blood Sacrifice Array.
Besides, he remembered inviting Pei Xuanjing by offering him a top-tier martial arts skill – something precious to him – which he could retrieve right now.
The general swung his long blade, chopping down terrifyingly, targeting Pei Xuanjing’s head.
Witnessing the situation, a cold smile crept onto Pei Xuanjing’s face. His killing intent overflowed as his aura shot towards the sky. He gripped his sword with five fingers and suddenly thrust it forward.
Gripping the sword, drawing it, unsheathing, and slashing – all the movements were so smooth, without the slightest pause!
A dazzling flash of sword light appeared.
In this world, Pei Xuanjing’s Sword Drawing Skill couldn’t invoke the Heavenly Earthly Force. However, the terrifying physical strength he demonstrated in combination with his violent and dominant sword intent resulted in formidable power. Puff!
Launching later but arriving sooner, the man did not expect the opponent he was facing to be a cultivator on par with him. He did not have time to react to that sudden thrust. The moment he saw the sword being thrust, Pei Xuanjing’s sword had already pierced him!
“Ah!”
He let out a terrifying roar. Although Pei Xuanjing’s sword didn’t kill him, it cut off his arm.
Everyone was startled. No one expected such a thing to happen. They were already overpowering the opponents, but suddenly an expert like Pei Xuanjing appeared.
The agonizing wail of the man made the lady extremely uneasy, causing her to order the general beside her: “Quickly kill him!”
However, it was too late.
Once Pei Xuanjing decided to act, naturally, he wouldn’t hold back.
Before the lady had finished speaking and while the man’s wailing continued, Pei Xuanjing decisively struck again.
Without sheathing his sword, he raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and struck again.
He circulated the Primordial Qi within his body. His bones, flesh, and skin flexed, while his organs and marrow began to vibrate in an unusual rhythm. He threw a punch, and continuous sonic booms rang out in the air. His ferocious power violently slammed into the chest of the man.
The power of this punch was extremely fierce. The man was caught off guard and unable to respond in time. He could only stare as the punch landed.
Boom!
The punch landed and even though he possessed an immensely strong body, the impact shattered his flesh and bones, and displaced his internal organs. He spewed out mouthfuls of blood and was sent flying backwards.
Pei Xuanjing swung his sword, a clean decapitation.
With this, Pei Xuanjing killed a battlefield-general-grade cultivator.
[At the age of twenty: You killed a battlefield-general-grade cultivator, attracting two other generals who then gang up on you.]
Everyone was shocked, the Savage Wilderness fell quiet for a moment. No one could believe Pei Xuanjing’s strength. Three moves were all it took for him to kill his opponent.
“Sixth Brother!”
“Sixth Brother!”
The eyes of the remaining two men reddened, overflowing with killing intent, and they moved to attack Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing had no mercy for such a person. His death was not unjust.
He flicked his wrist, shaking off the blood on his sword, and prepared for the approaching adversaries.
While Pei Xuanjing, with one man’s power, fought a battle against two people, the people who were initially recruited understood that the opportunity to escape had come and scattered to flee.
“You’re certain to die today!”
“Ha ha, those people are running like they lost their homes, and no one is helping you.”
“One general-class cultivator like you is equivalent to a blood essence of theirs.”
The two men unleashed ferocious attacks on Pei Xuanjing while using their words to disrupt him.
Pei Xuanjing ignored them. When he decided to act, he had already taken this situation into consideration and had no intention of relying on these people.
The longsword in his hand moved unpredictably, revealing only flashes of cold light together with ruthless and fierce sword energy sweeping in all directions.
While the three of them were fighting, the essence and blood of the general-class cultivator who was killed by Pei Xuanjing was activated, and it flowed towards the Blood Sacrifice Array’s Blood River.
Boom!
The Blood Qi of a battlefield-general-class cultivator was at least tens of times more abundant than that of ordinary martial artists. This Blood Qi surged into the Blood River, causing the river to boil even more intensely.
“Jiaolong Blood Pill is about to be formed!” The hoarse voice of the white-haired old man spoke.
The lady’s grief over the death of the battlefield-general-class cultivator was suddenly replaced by this joy. For her, as long as she could get the Jiaolong Blood Pill, everything would be worth it.
In an instant, the Blood Qi was combined and spun around. A brilliant, transparent, blood-colored pill appeared in the air, exuding a strange fragrance. Simultaneously, a beam of blood-colored light shot straight into the sky. This phenomenon could be seen in the entire Demon Domain.
Roar!
A beast’s roar that shook the heavens rang out.
“Not good, quickly kill him and let’s get out of here,” the lady’s face changed dramatically.
