Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System - Chapter 167: Blood Sacrifice!

Chapter 167: Blood Sacrifice!

“Blood Sacrifice.”

The chilling words had barely left the Blood Zombie Young Master’s lips when a savage and unrestrained madness spread across his face. He raised both hands and waved them through the air, sending out strange ripples of energy that spread across the hall.

A series of violent explosions followed.

The Blood Zombies who had been maintaining the Extreme Blood Demon Qi Formation were struck by those eerie fluctuations. Their bodies swelled unnaturally as the energy within them spiraled out of control. Before any of them could even scream, their bodies burst apart and turned into thick clouds of blood mist.

“This man is truly ruthless.”

Zhu Ximen and the others could not help but feel a chill run down their spines as they witnessed the Blood Zombie Young Master slaughter his own subordinates without hesitation. The sheer cruelty of such an act caused their expressions to shift with unease.

Li Yun, however, remained calm. His face showed little change, yet his eyes narrowed slightly as a serious glint appeared within them. He could sense an unmistakable hint of danger. Whatever the Blood Zombie Young Master intended to unleash next would undoubtedly be terrifying.

“Blood Demon Art. Blood Demon Transformation.”

The Blood Zombie Young Master looked at the thick blood mist filling the hall and revealed a sinister smile. He then threw his head back and released a long and chilling howl.

A powerful suction force suddenly erupted from his body. The dense blood mist that filled the hall was immediately drawn toward him. The crimson vapor surged together and gathered behind his back, gradually forming the outline of a towering demonic shadow made entirely of blood.

The moment the crimson demonic figure fully condensed, a terrifying aura erupted from it and swept across the entire hall. The air trembled under the pressure of that overwhelming presence.

“Blood Demon Hand. Blood Annihilation of All Beings.”

The Blood Zombie Young Master roared once more and struck his palm forward.

The massive crimson shadow behind him seemed to possess a will of its own. As soon as the Young Master launched his strike, the demonic figure released a series of eerie and sinister laughs that echoed throughout the hall.

The demonic shadow raised its enormous crimson hand and slammed it downward toward Li Yun.

A sharp sizzling sound filled the air as the palm descended. The energy within the hand seemed to contain an extremely corrosive poison. Even the air itself appeared to corrode and distort as the attack moved forward.

If such a strike were to land on a person’s body, even a powerful martial artist at the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm would likely be dissolved into a pool of blood within moments.

The viciousness of the technique was beyond doubt.

It was no wonder the Blood Zombie Young Master had been so confident that he could kill Li Yun with a single move.

“Crimson Lotus Flame Art.”

Li Yun immediately activated his defensive martial technique. In an instant, blazing red flames surged outward and gathered around him, forming a massive lotus made entirely of fire. The fiery petals unfolded layer by layer until the enormous crimson lotus completely enclosed him within its protective barrier.

At that very moment, the giant crimson hand descended from above.

A thunderous impact erupted as the demonic hand slammed against the blazing lotus.

The collision released violent waves of Qi that exploded outward in every direction like a raging storm.

“Fall back. Everyone retreat!”

Zhu Ximen shouted urgently as the shockwaves rushed toward them. He immediately withdrew with the others, knowing how dangerous those waves of energy were. Even a martial artist at the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm would be easily killed if caught within such violent fluctuations.

The Blood Zombie Young Master stared in disbelief at the sight before him.

“How is this possible? How can my attack fail to destroy that lotus?”

His expression turned twisted with shock and anger. Even after unleashing the full force of the gigantic crimson hand, the blazing lotus protecting Li Yun remained intact.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Fury surged within him as he began striking the lotus repeatedly. Each blow landed with explosive force as he hammered down again and again. The violent impacts sent terrifying waves of Qi crashing across the hall, shattering stone and tearing apart the surrounding space.

Inside the protective lotus, Li Yun frowned slightly.

The strength of the Blood Zombie Young Master’s attack was indeed formidable. If this relentless assault continued for too long, the lotus barrier would not be able to endure indefinitely.

Realizing this, Li Yun slowly drew out his sword.

At the same moment, he released the full extent of his ten percent sword intent. The instant the sword intent spread outward, the atmosphere around him changed dramatically. Fierce sword Qi filled the surrounding space and caused the very air to tremble.

What was even more astonishing was that faint cracks began to appear on the inner surface of the crimson lotus itself simply from the pressure of his released sword intent.

This clearly demonstrated the terrifying power contained within that ten percent sword intent. Even the continuous pounding of the Blood Zombie Young Master’s massive demonic hand had failed to leave a single mark upon the lotus, yet the mere release of Li Yun’s sword intent had begun to fracture it from within.

Li Yun raised the sword high above his head.

“Overlord Sword Art. Tyrant Crushing Slash.”

With those words, he unleashed the first strike of the Overlord Sword Art.

A sharp whistle tore through the air as Li Yun’s sword moved.

A terrifying wave of sword Qi burst forth from the blade and surged forward with unstoppable momentum. The power of the strike was so overwhelming that the crimson lotus surrounding Li Yun was sliced apart from the inside as though it were made of fragile tofu. The blazing petals split open instantly under the pressure of the sword Qi.

The attack did not stop there.

The surging wave of sword energy continued forward and collided directly with the gigantic crimson hand summoned by the Blood Zombie Young Master. The demonic hand shattered under the impact, breaking apart as the violent sword Qi tore through it.

A thunderous explosion followed.

The moment the crimson hand was destroyed, the backlash of the energy struck the Blood Zombie Young Master with immense force. His body was blasted backward like a ragged doll thrown through the air.

Li Yun did not allow him even a moment to recover.

His figure blurred as he moved once again, his speed resembling a raging wind tiger leaping across the battlefield. Using the Raging Wind Tiger Art, he closed the distance in the blink of an eye and appeared directly in front of the Blood Zombie Young Master before the latter could even finish falling.

“Die.”

Li Yun spoke the single word calmly as he thrust his sword forward.

The blade pierced straight through the Blood Zombie Young Master’s chest, tearing open a massive hole through his body. The force of the strike sent the Blood Zombie Young Master flying once more as blood sprayed through the air.
