Chapter 34 Tragic
The wind howled, the thunder rolled, and the surging sea tide crushed all directions with the force of the sky.

puff……

After suppressing the danger under the blood river once again, Lan Qushang finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Old Lan, you've got to hold on!" Elder Xiao supported Lan Qushang. The two men looked extremely embarrassed at this moment, and they didn't look like elders of a noble sect at all.

"Damn it, it is said that the elixirs of the Soul Prison Realm will not kill people even if they burn their souls, but why are our elixirs almost killing us just by burning our blood?"

Lan Qushang spat out the blood foam from his mouth. His current condition was not caused by injuries. With his powerful body in the Rong Shen realm, as long as the foundation was not injured, he could recover in a very short time. His current condition was completely the sequelae of the elixir.

"The Blood Burning Pills from your Qingteng Palace are considered good. If you hadn't held off that lunatic Dongguofu before, we would have become a pile of dry bones in this river of blood."

Before, both of them had taken a lot of self-harming explosive pills that could injure the enemy by 800 and themselves by 1,000. Although their victory was somewhat dramatic in the end, if they had not used the pills to forcibly increase their combat power, they would never have been able to stop Dong Guofu head-on. Just think about what happened to Li Zhuofei.

The medicine of Ruyi Sect is not as good as that of Mengshen Sect. The direct increase in combat effectiveness it can provide is not that exaggerated, so naturally the sequelae are not that serious.

Speaking of alchemy technology, the elixir used to cleanse the body in the Chongming Realm can be said to be the best among the three realms, while the others can only be said to be average.

"I don't know what's going on with Old Wei and Lu Nanshan. We have to repair the formation quickly." There was no trace of blood on Lan Qushang's face. He was as pale as a dead person.

"I don't know if we can survive this disaster! I didn't expect that the Blood Sword Sect could make such a big move right under the noses of the four sects. We were careless!" Elder Xiao knew very well that no matter what the outcome was, the entire Southern Region, and even the entire Chongming Realm, would launch a vigorous operation to eliminate foreign spies.

After all, a blood sacrifice in a city with a population of tens of millions, such a terrible incident has not happened for thousands of years. It is simply a slap in the face of the Chongming Realm.

"Let's just do our best and leave the rest to fate! Back then, I was full of vigor and thought that even if I died, I would definitely die on the battlefield between the two worlds. I never thought that I would be trapped in the small Jueshui City."

It was not known whether it was due to grief and anger or something else, but Lan Qushang spat out two mouthfuls of blood in a row, scaring Elder Xiao so much that he quickly stuffed him with a bunch of blood and qi pills. There was no good way to deal with the side effects of these pills, so the only way a warrior could do was to use the universal method - replenishing qi and blood. As long as the qi and blood were strong enough, he could withstand anything.

"Lao Lan, are you okay?" Elder Xiao asked with concern.

It’s not because he and Lan Qushang have a good relationship, it’s because the two of them are now in the same boat. He is also suffering from the aftereffects of taking drugs, so having more people means more safety.

"We can still hold on for a while. We need to find Lu Nanshan and the others first. We need to repair the formation as soon as possible. I don't think Lu Anping is very promising."

"I don't think highly of him either. The Blood Sword Sect has spent so much money on this, they can't be here just to make fun of him."

……

"Let's get out of here!"

With hope, Jiang Yi's nervousness and anxiety finally subsided a little. Now that he had a target, he might as well take the initiative. Staying here and waiting would be too passive.

"Aren't we going to wait here for the sect elders?" Pang Tianyun and the others didn't have any good ideas. The current situation was beyond their ability to deal with.

"There is no time left. We must give it a try. Whether we can find the elders of the sect or the people of the Lu family, they can always help us. Even if we cannot completely control our fate and die, at least we have tried our best and can close our eyes now!"

"Wait here till death. Once Elder Lu is defeated, that will be the day we die. Are you willing to accept that?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Yi in amazement. You just said this, right? It has changed too fast!

"I agree. I don't want to die so miserably!" Pang Tianyun was the first to agree. As a person who believed that he would rather die on the road to attack, he had almost reached his limit of enduring here until now. His temperament was far from as cold as the martial arts he cultivated.

Are you willing?
How could I be willing to do so!

It has to be said that Jiang Yi's words were very provocative. A warrior controls the power of the law with his own will, which is more or less arrogance and domineering. The higher the realm, the more he would rather break than bend.

"Junior brother is right. As a warrior, how can we entrust our life and death to others? Those who are willing to follow us can come with us. We will not stop those who want to find their own way out." Lin Xiao stood up and made his words clear. He did not want to bring on any more burdens.

"Brother, we..." The surrounding disciples below the first rank all seemed panicked. The fourth rank disciples were all dead except for the young lady of the Jiang family who was heavily guarded in the center. In such a desperate situation, they were not much better than the fourth rank disciples.

"Think carefully before you choose. We may not even be able to protect ourselves, let alone you."

Having said that, it is useless for everyone to pretend to be stupid. Moral kidnapping is even more useless at this time. This may be cruel, but this is the reality.

Find a way out for themselves, or follow the crowd. Surprisingly, almost everyone below the first rank chose to find a way out for themselves. There was no other way. If no one was willing to take care of them, the first rank battle itself was extremely dangerous for them. If they followed, they would probably die in the aftermath of the war before they died in unknown dangers.

For them, this is a gamble with their lives at stake, and life or death depends entirely on fate!
All the people from the Wuhen Sect have left. In their opinion, the next thing to do is to see who has a tougher life. Numbers will not be an advantage, and they prefer to believe in themselves.

"Brother." Jiang Miaomiao tightly grasped the corner of her brother's clothes. At this moment, she finally realized how ignorant she was in the past. The stories in the books were all lies. Many familiar people died in front of her eyes, leaving nothing behind. The disciples of the big sect were no different from ordinary people. Once dead, they were dead. More people would die later, or even her.

No wonder the eldest brother didn’t want to go down the mountain, it turns out it’s so dangerous down the mountain!

"Don't worry, we will leave here and return to Shuangta Mountain." Jiang Yi was encouraging his sister as well as himself.

It will definitely succeed, definitely!
"Those who should leave have all left. Shouldn't we make some distribution? We can't be chaotic, and we can't waste any energy." The previous cynicism was no longer on Meng Laocai's face. Generation after generation of Yuanbao Sect disciples had attempted to grasp the illusory fortune, but their own luck had never been very good.

"I will still lead the attack, but I need someone to protect my sister." If Jiang Yi wants to gain merit, he must grab the head. "That's no problem, let your Junior Sister Pei from the Mengshen Sect protect Little Sister Jiang. Everyone has seen Junior Brother's attack, I believe no one will object."

Once they encounter an enemy above the first rank, Jiang Yi is their only hope, so naturally no one will object.

"Then we from Ruyi Sect will be at the outermost edge, serving as the first layer of defense. Meng Laocai, if you dare to betray us again, I will drag you down with me even if I die!" The people from Ruyi Sect stepped forward and chose a tough job on their own. There was nothing they could do about it as their martial spirit determined their position. If they didn't choose, they could only find their own way out.

"Don't worry, I never joke about life and death." Meng Laocai said seriously. Although the two sects often pit each other in daily life, they have never betrayed each other at the real moment of life and death.

"Then we will be on the second floor. Everyone from Yuanbao Sect should give priority to cooperating with Junior Brother Jiang and everyone from Ruyi Sect. As for Lin Xiao, you can handle it on your own." Pang Tianyun knew very well that Jiang Yi's attack power alone exceeded that of the rest of them combined. Their task was to protect Jiang Yi and deal with some emergencies.

"Okay, let's go!"

The jade plums in the Plum Garden had long been swallowed up by the river of blood, the walls of the garden had been washed away, and the rockery pavilions had also disappeared in the waves that were one higher than the other.

They did not dare to approach the battlefield between Lu Anping and Lu Changge. The battle between the two was probably the only area where they could clearly sense the fluctuations of aura under the suppression of the Blood River Sword Formation. Any aftermath was enough to annihilate them.

From time to time, sword shadows would fall into the blood river from the sky. Each sword shadow would merge with the souls in the blood river, and then use the blood as a temporary body to transform into strange-looking blood monsters, attacking all living beings within the perception range.

These blood monsters are very troublesome. Smashing their bodies does not mean victory, but is just the beginning of trouble. The souls that have merged with the sword shadows will merge with each other again after losing their blood bodies, becoming more powerful individuals, and the cycle will continue.

Therefore, if one wants to truly destroy the blood monsters, after crushing their blood bodies, one must wipe out the sword shadows and the dead souls in a very short time. However, those sword shadows are very strong, and only outstanding warriors like Lin Xiao and Pang Tianyun can do this, and it is very difficult.

What’s more crucial is that in the Blood River Formation, these blood monsters seem to be endless. Even a powerful God-Melting Warrior cannot withstand such consumption.

Jiang Yi also couldn't stand such consumption, so they could only hurry all the way. Their perception was suppressed within a very small range. Under the scouring of the blood river, the Lu family manor had already been completely changed, so they were running around like headless flies.

Blood monsters were wiped out one by one, and waves were smoothed out one by one, but Jiang Yi didn't run into what he was looking for for a long time. There must be not many Sword Domain spies who entered Jueshui City. Infiltration is difficult, and the number of people who can be deployed here with the power of the Blood Sword Sect alone is even less.

Could it be that these people want to drag the outcome to Lu Changge's end?

Jiang Yi was secretly anxious. He didn't know if there were any other strong people from the Sword Domain besides Lu Changge in this formation. If there were, he would most likely be beheaded.

There are too many factors involved, and for him, this is also a gamble with his life at stake!
At this moment, a sound of wind and thunder reached everyone's ears. In this Blood River Sword Formation, compared to the unreliable perception, the sound actually traveled farther.

"Hmm? Jing Tao Wu Yi, it's Master!!" Lin Xiao was overjoyed. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. There were only three people in the entire Jue Shui City who practiced [Jing Tao]. Two of them were here, and the remaining one could only be Lan Qu Shang.

Everyone was very happy. Even though he was not an elder from their own sect, they finally had a Rongshen to rely on.

"Let's go over there quickly and help Palace Master Lan eliminate the strong man."

Fortunately, this Blood River Formation is not a maze. It only suppressed their perception and did not confuse their five senses. They would definitely not go wrong by following the direction of the sound.

When they saw Lan Qushang, they were all stunned. It was because he looked so miserable. His entire body was almost cut open and blood was just slowly flowing out. In addition to Lan Qushang, Elder Xiao from Ruyi Gate was also there, but this time Elder Xiao's left hand and left leg were missing.

You have to know that it is just a routine operation for a strong man of the Molten God to regenerate a limb after it is broken in a war. If he cannot do it, it means that his foundation is likely to have been damaged.

At this time, the two Melting God bosses were surrounded by countless blood monsters. As soon as one of them was destroyed, more blood monsters crawled out of the blood river. Among these blood monsters, there were some individuals that were different from their own kind. These had experienced more than one fusion and their strength was far beyond their own kind.

Obviously, someone is manipulating this!
They had never encountered a scene like a zombie siege along the way, and the horrific wound on Lan Qushang's body that almost split him in half was not caused by the blood monster's attack method.

So the question is, where are the people?

No matter how badly injured they were, they were still Molten Gods. A group of people joined the battle at the same time, wanting to snatch the two Molten Gods out. As long as they were given time, even if they only recovered half way, they would still be much stronger than them.

At once, countless blood exploded, and a large number of blood monsters were destroyed, but they underestimated those monsters that had undergone multiple fusions. In an instant, several first-grade warriors died, their flesh and blood melted, leaving only a skeleton falling into the blood river.

"You guys, go quickly!" Lan Qushang's condition was extremely bad at this moment. He never expected that he would meet his disciples in such a situation.

As for the two from the Jiang family and the others, he was about to die, so he didn't care about them. However, he cared about Lin Xiao, his most valued disciple...

He was already in a very bad state due to the aftereffects of the elixir, and was ambushed by the sword cultivators of the Blood Sword Sect. He could only exert 20% to 30% of his full combat power. Old Xiao from the Ruyi Sect was not much better, not to mention that his realm was already one level lower than his.

A group of first-class people wanted to rescue them, but they were just sending themselves to die in vain! !

go?
It's too late!

A large number of blood monsters were destroyed, but as wave after wave of blood came, more blood monsters gathered together. Several people were hit by the blood waves and dragged into the blood river alive by the blood monsters.

Jiang Yi, who had been unable to find the person in the dark, had no choice but to take action. The Sky-reaching Divine Fire Pillar quickly fixed all directions and enveloped everyone except himself.

After this journey, everyone has gained a certain understanding of the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar. As long as Jiang Yi cooperates, although he cannot protect them from the fire attack, at least they will not die, and they can even cooperate to kill the enemy in the flames.

Since the other party has been hiding and refuses to come out, let's find a way to lure him out!
