Chapter 398 - 285: Battle in the Red Cold Forest, Defying a Bone Marrow Cleansing Expert!

The other three shield fragments had already taken out the remaining members of the Blood Evil Sect; he needed to go over and collect the spoils.

In the center of the station.

During the fierce battle with the Astronomical Bureau’s Tang Guang, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Evil Moon sensed someone slaughtering the Blood Evil Sect’s experts, causing the anger in her heart to rise steadily.

Unfortunately, Tang Guang wouldn’t allow her to spare a hand to save anyone, forcing her to watch helplessly as her people were slaughtered.

After several exchanges, Evil Moon realized she couldn’t overcome Tang Guang. With her men nearly wiped out, continuing the fight held no meaning and might risk her own safety.

"Tang Guang!!"

A roar echoed, and blood mist filled the sky.

The blood mist trapped Tang Guang, allowing Evil Moon to seize the chance and flee northward.

By the time Tang Guang broke free from the mist’s shadow, he could no longer sense Evil Moon.

After pursuing several miles without results, he returned to the station.

Inside the station, those who could escape had done so; those who didn’t escape were mostly unable to.

Cavalry Captain Yang Rong led three Meridian Unlocking Realm individuals before Tang Guang.

Out of seventeen who came, two were from the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm, and fifteen were from the Upper Meridian Unlocking Realm; only four remained now, indicating a brutal battle.

"Kill them; leave no one alive." Tang Guang glanced around coldly, "Tonight’s events must not leave survivors!"

"Yes!"

Yang Rong waved his hand, leading Zhuge Rui and the others in pursuit.

Tang Guang first headed to the station’s west and south positions, where there were considerable Blood Evil Sect corpses.

Examining the bodies, his expression grew serious.

Even though he wasn’t a Primordial Qi Warrior, he had special methods to investigate the cause of death among the Blood Evil Sect members.

"Primordial Qi Warrior..."

In the Great Qin Dynasty, the Primordial Qi Cultivation Method was mostly exclusive to the Divine Mystery Bureau, and Primordial Qi Warriors were usually registered there.

The Astronomical Bureau and the Divine Mystery Bureau were the Great Qin Dynasty’s most powerful organizations, and Tang Guang had substantial knowledge of the Divine Mystery Bureau, almost knowing all Primordial Qi Warriors’ details.

Yet... the Primordial Qi Warrior who appeared tonight at the station, killing Blood Evil Sect members, couldn’t be identified.

"Judging from the wounds, a single strike killed them."

"This headless corpse had already reached the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm’s Sixth Meridian, yet its head was still severed directly..."

"The Fifth Realm, Primordial Qi Seed Realm?"

His brows furrowed, his figure flickering constantly, probing around.

No trace of a suspected Primordial Qi Warrior was found, but he could conclude that the warrior’s strength had definitely reached the Fifth Realm!

"Primordial Qi Seed Realm..."

Tang Guang collected the evidence, glanced north, pondered briefly, and then turned to run south.

The Fifth Realm is equivalent to a Martial Artist’s Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm; the appearance of such an unregistered expert required urgent reporting to the capital.

...

North of the station, a blood-colored figure fled quickly.

Suddenly, in a red forest area, the figure stopped and looked around.

This place, named the Red Cold Forest, was filled with red cold-resistant trees.

Evil Moon scanned her surroundings, a flash of doubt passing across her cold and intriguing face.

She distinctly felt someone tracking her, yet now upon careful sensing, found nothing.

"You, esteemed Primordial Qi Warrior, why hide and sneak around?" She tried calling out.

She feared that the mysterious expert who killed the Blood Evil Sect members at the station was following her.

The cold wind swept through, red leaves fell, but only responded with silence.

Her brows knitted tighter, secretly deploying the blood mist, as she again fled north.

Ten miles into the Red Cold Forest, halfway through.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air shot towards her.

Swish!

Already alert, Evil Moon instantly deployed her blood mist to block the silver-gray attack.

Yet in the next moment, several more gray beams shot towards her from the red forest.

Evil Moon’s expression shifted slightly, her blood mist swiftly unfurling like a blood-red banner, blocking the attack.

Clang clang clang!

All six gray beams were blocked by the blood mist.

"I hold no grudge against you, esteemed one, why attack from hiding?"

Evil Moon knew she couldn’t shake off the opponent, so after preparing her defenses, she waited for the mysterious figure to appear.

Outside the Red Cold Forest, five miles away from Evil Moon, Chu Ming strolled along a mountain path, a smile on his face.

The Sword Gourd Spirit covered a twenty-mile range, making it his hunting ground.

Such a Blood Evil Sect member from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, he couldn’t let go easily, even if he couldn’t win, he had to test and verify his current capabilities.

Taking a few steps forward, he picked up a few stones from the roadside, leisurely observing them.

Meanwhile, three shield fragments and one black and one gold beam shot into the Red Cold Forest.

The center of the Red Cold Forest.

Clang clang clang!

Nine gray beams, one gold beam, one black beam shot towards Evil Moon from all sides.

The surrounding large red cold trees toppled, while Evil Moon, like a dancer clad in red on stage, manipulated the blood mist.

The nature of the blood mist weapon was unknown, and Evil Moon wielded it densely to block all attacks.

"It seems solely relying on Primordial Artifacts can’t break the defenses of Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm experts."

After several attempts, Chu Ming gained a general understanding of his Primordial Qi Warrior methods.

The Shield Shuttle could easily take down any strong opponent within the Meridian Unlocking Realm, but it had difficulty against Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Even against an early-stage Blood Evil Sect expert from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, it was challenging.

He held onto a smoother stone, gazing at it under moonlight.

"Let’s try other methods."

While looking at the stone, he contemplated engaging in close combat.

The thought arose, and a golden beam glowed from his palm.

Within the golden glow, there was a somewhat worn Wolf Map Clan Crown and a Red Pendant.

The Qi and Blood Power within his body burned, donning the crown, and the Red Pendant pressed against his chest.

His body emitted a silver glow, his palms turned crimson.

Facing a high-level confrontation with the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm for the first time, he almost deployed all his techniques.

The moonlight was hazy, as cold fog engulfed the moon.
