Chapter 697: Vanquishing Wang Heng, the Blood Gate Opens!

“Pfft!”

Out of the blue, a pitch-black blade from behind instantly tore through the vulnerable protective Gang Qi and Qi Blood during his life-and-death struggle, the blade piercing through his chest.

“You, you…”

Dugu Lie looked utterly incredulous, his eyes wide in disbelief that Liu Sha, who was supposed to be on the same side, would suddenly turn against him. Could Liu Sha think that by killing him, the couple on the field would spare Liu Sha?

No, Liu Sha shouldn’t be this foolish!

Before Dugu Lie could resist, the blade suddenly twisted, and under Liu Sha’s control, the Gang Force and Qi Blood violently shattered Dugu Lie’s heart along with his Five Viscera, ending the last shred of life from the Sect Leader Xuan She.

“Why…”

“Blame yourselves for being useless. If it weren’t for your incompetence, my grand plan wouldn’t be reduced to this!”

Liu Sha spoke with grim bitterness, then grasped the blood flowing from Dugu Lie into a blood sphere in the air with one hand, while the other hand seized Dugu Lie’s corpse, exploding a thick blood mist that obscured vision, transforming into a blood light and escaping into the fog.

All this happened too suddenly, leaving Su Mu, the Profound Robe woman, and Wang Heng momentarily frozen, a fleeting distraction allowing Liu Sha to escape several yards away using the Secret Technique. The blood light was closing in on the entrance of the dark palace.

“You two have imprinted yourselves on my mind!”

As the blood light stilled for a moment at the entrance, a gnashing voice reached the ears of Su Mu and the Profound Robe woman.

“Damn it, Liu Sha, the old ghost was plotting against us from the start; he never intended to take us into the Secret Realm!”

After a momentary daze, a furious growl erupted from the pit, Wang Heng now realizing Liu Sha had calculated against them all!

“Boom boom boom——!”

Soon after Liu Sha dashed into the dark palace, thunderous sounds constantly echoed, the ground trembling as blood light soared, and bloody symbols hung suspended in the air.

Immediately, a blood-colored Grand Array formed in the air, its patterns lit up, a pungent scent of blood ascended rapidly!

“This… This is the Blood Fiend Grand Array… Such rich Qi Blood requires the blood sacrifice of tens of thousands of beings or a thousand cultivators to achieve.”

Profound Robe woman gazed at the blood-colored array with a solemn expression, her eyes couldn’t hide the flash of anger. She grasped her lance tightly and rushed toward the dark palace.

“Haha, what of it if you kill me? Liu the old ghost’s grand plan is coming to fruition; you’re all going to die. I will wait for you both beneath the Underworld River!”

Wang Heng spoke, biting his teeth, his tone full of mockery mixed with bitter hate.

“My life and death need not concern you!”

Bang!

Su Mu clenched his right fist tightly, the Profound Demon Gang tearing through flesh and bone, a head exploded violently, Wang Heng’s body convulsed before falling silent.

But just then, a maniacal voice suddenly sounded from within the dark palace.

“So much blood feast… Heaven favors me; indeed, treacherous heavens stand on my side!”

In the next instant, the blood-colored Grand Array awakened, its patterns revolving and unleashing a terrifying power, causing Su Mu’s four Martial Momentum within his sea of consciousness to tremble intensely with danger alerts.

“Screech!”

Suddenly from within the dark palace, cries of hundreds, thousands, even more men, women, and children echoed, followed by a horrific scene. The vast palace was abruptly split into two by an unnoticed black light!

Within the multicolored and menacing black light, a blood-colored gateway slowly unfurled, then an unimaginably terrifying suction force engulfed the entire area.

The grand palace roared as it shattered into pieces, broken beams, walls, and even the earth itself rose and flew toward the eerie portal in mid-air.

Everything disappeared without a trace upon entering the gateway, as if never existing in this world.

As Su Mu’s pupils constricted, a blood light actively shot into the portal.

“It’s done, it’s finally done! You both wait; I will repay today’s grudge twice over!”
