Chapter 396 - 285: Deep Red Cold Forest, Fierce Battle of Bone Marrow Cleansing!

At the critical moment, a black figure descended from the sky, landing precisely in front of the Blood Shadow.

Just when the Blood Shadow was about to pierce through, the black-clad youth casually reached out to grab it.

Clang!

The sound of gold and iron clashing rang out, and the unstoppable Blood Shadow was caught barehanded by the black-clad youth—it was a small arrow.

"Oh?" The Blood Evil Sect’s Meridian Unlocking Realm member was slightly surprised, but quickly shot three more arrows in succession.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The outcome remained unchanged; the three arrows were easily caught by the black-clad youth.

However, this time, the black-clad youth did not give the Blood Evil Sect another chance to act. The moment he blocked the arrows, his figure vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was standing amidst the three Blood Evil Sect Meridian Unlocking Realm members and the three Martial Immortal Alliance members.

"Courting death!" The three from the Blood Evil Sect charged together, while the three from the Martial Immortal Alliance also rushed to attack.

Although both sides were engaged in a bloody battle, they shared the same mission—to ensure no one escaped the inn alive.

Chu Ming’s face remained calm. A black blade artifact appeared in his hand, and he slashed with a roar, the blade light like an abyss.

This blade, known as the Black Abyss Saber, was crafted by him.

As the blade light swept out, the three Blood Evil Sect members instantly felt their Heart Spirit tremble, wanting to flee.

But given the disparity in strength, how could they possibly escape?

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The blade light dissipated, and the inn’s three formidable Meridian Unlocking Realm enforcers became three corpses.

The faces of the three Martial Immortal Alliance members turned pale, not daring to move.

Chu Ming turned to look at them, his calm gaze seemingly harboring endless terror as it fell upon them.

With just one look, the three turned and fled in panic, unable to muster even a slight thought of fighting back.

Chu Ming didn’t chase after them; he simply glanced back at the terrified crowd in the inn before disappearing through the exit.

"Run! Run quickly!"

The crowd inside was briefly in chaos, then flooded out of the inn like a breached dam.

Chu Ming stood in the shadows not far away, his eyes deep and unperturbed.

"Still not showing yourself?"

He murmured, then vanished.

"Then let’s kill a few more."

Slaughtering the Blood Evil Sect was to force the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm hidden in the north to appear.

Once the Blood Evil Sect’s Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm appeared, the other Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm would surely appear too.

Instigating a battle between Bone Marrow Cleansing Realms, such opportunities are rare.

At the western exit of the inn, the Blood Evil Sect and Martial Immortal Alliance each had two Upper Meridian Unlocking Realms battling.

Suddenly, the black-clad youth charged in, killing the two from the Blood Evil Sect with lightning speed.

Then it was on to the next location...

When Chu Ming single-handedly slaughtered seven Blood Evil Sect Meridian Unlocking Realm members, a figure swiftly approached from the inn’s north.

"Finally arrived."

Chu Ming’s lips curved into a smile as he slashed a few Blood Evil Sect Refining the Internal Organs Realm members to death, his figure disappearing immediately afterward.

Around the same time, in the south of the inn, another Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, Tang Guang, made his move.

At the inn’s east gate, the Blood Evil Sect’s Mo Sha, Split Evil, Cold Blade, and Soul Devourer, four Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm members, were battling Yang Rong and Xi Peng.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

"Evil Moon Lord! It’s the Evil Moon Lord!"

A blood-colored figure floated down, a blood robe covering the sky and moon, making even tonight’s moon seem blood-red.

Within the blood robe was a blood-colored long veil; upon seeing the face, with blood-red hair and blood-red eyes, it was a stunning yet chilling visage.

Seeing the newcomer, Yang Rong and Xi Peng’s hearts instantly raced.

Not just due to the eerie beauty of the face, but because of the invisible coldness.

Both, along with several members of the Martial Immortal Alliance present, were locked onto by the blood veil woman.

At that moment, Evil Moon raised her blood-red eyes, gazing afar, her eyebrows slightly furrowing.

Soon after, the coldness enveloping Yang Rong, Xi Peng, and others scattered as if melting under the warm sun, a deep blue figure stepping forward.

"Tang... Master Tang." Yang Rong and Xi Peng recognized the newcomer, their faces blooming with delight.

The two Bone Marrow Cleansing Realms exchanged looks without words.

Suddenly.

Boom!

The building between them inexplicably exploded.

Evil Moon smiled charmingly: "A mere girl, Evil Moon."

Tang Guang remained silent.

"Your Excellency is truly dull," Evil Moon smiled coyly, "In that case, let’s fight. It’s been a long, long time since this little girl moved her body."

As soon as she spoke, the blood veil spread across the sky, the blood moon hanging in the heavens.

"Hmph!"

Tang Guang snorted coldly, a cold light blossoming in his palm.

Boom!

The blood veil and cold light collided, instantly shattering the building between them.

Then, the ground collapsed, setting off terrifying shockwaves.

The Blood Evil Sect and Martial Immortal Alliance members scattered in panic.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battlefield quickly expanded, the buildings in the affected area all collapsing.

Those too weak to escape in time died in the aftermath; the luckier ones were severely injured or maimed.

In less than half a stick of incense, the entire inn became a battlefield for the two Bone Marrow Cleansing Realms.

Meanwhile, the Blood Evil Sect’s Mo Sha, Split Evil, and others resumed their battle with Yang Rong, Xi Peng, and others.

In the midst of the battle, southwest of the inn, on the rooftop of a certain pavilion, a black figure stood calmly.

By Chu Ming’s side, a total of three silver-gray shield pieces were suspended.

He raised his right hand and flicked his fingers.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six shield pieces tore through the night sky, shooting out.

At the southern part of the inn, the Blood Evil Sect’s Mo Sha was battling Yang Rong.

Suddenly, all three simultaneously retreated, sharply turning their gaze aside.

Over there, buildings toppled, flames soared high.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Amidst the fire curtain, three silver-gray shield pieces shot out, piercing the flames.

"Primordial Qi Warrior!"

Yang Rong instantly panicked, crossing a spear to block.

The Blood Evil Sect’s Mo Sha, Split Evil reacted swiftly, each deploying weapons to parry.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three crisp sounds echoed throughout the shattered inn.

The strongest, Yang Rong, stood on two half-meter-long trenches, a result of the shield piece’s force dissipation.
