Ch 332: The Bright Moon Envoy’s Conjecture
Li Hanzhou’s fingertips brushed against the sword sheath. A sky-blue long sword was drawn, causing a faint blue water mist to rise in the void. The second wave of poison arrows spewed by the blood demon entered the mist, only to make a brittle sound like ice blocks falling to the ground!
The poison, at some point, had been solidified into ice crystals, which clattered to the ground.
“What sword technique is this?” The blood demon’s pupils constricted, and it spat out grayish-brown poisonous miasma: “Mist Blood Formation!”
Purple smoke began to seep from the surface of the entire forest, and the plants withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The tree demon took advantage of the opportunity to swell enormously. Spiderweb-like mucus sprayed from its vines, causing a hissing sound even on rocks wherever it passed.
Li Hanzhou, however, walked toward the tree demon as if unaware of the crisis. He casually swept the Cold Sparrow Sword, and the sword wind rolled up the morning dew on the ground, forming a water curtain.
The moment the blood mist collided with the water curtain, the sound of a rising tide echoed through the woods.
Those ordinary dewdrops suddenly became as heavy as a thousand jun, and countless holes were smashed into the tree demon’s many vines by the water droplets. The tree demon sensed something was amiss. Countless roots burst from its body, inserting themselves into the ground to activate Earth Evasion, but it discovered that the soil had been soaked with Water Spirit at some point; every piece of rubble became an extension of the Cold Sparrow Sword.
“That’s all you’ve got?” Li Hanzhou sneered.
The moment the sword edge touched the ground, the water vapor within a hundred zhang radius suddenly gathered.
The third wave of poison that the blood demon was spraying flowed back into its mouth. The blood demon frantically scratched its throat in terror, but its body swelled up like a waterlogged skin bag.
The tree demon screamed as it severed the roots eroded by the Water Spirit, but it saw Li Hanzhou lightly flick his sword tip, and the scattered blood mist was compressed into water balls, sticking its roots to the ground.
The Cold Sparrow Sword drew a half-circle arc, and the morning mist in the forest turned into a drizzle.
Raindrops falling on the tree demon made a sizzling sound like a branding iron. The tree demon screamed, black smoke rising from its body, and every part of its skin touched by the rain was corroding.
“Run!”
Seeing the bad situation, the blood demon instantly turned into blood and burrowed into the ground to escape.
Li Hanzhou didn’t chase, only the frost particles falling from the tip of his Cold Sparrow Sword gleamed blue in the sunlight. He lightly stepped on a nearby ancient tree, startling three red leaves that were still falling, but the sword edge had already touched the vein of the last leaf.
“Crack.”
With the ancient tree as the center, white frost spread backward along the blood lines on the ground. The blood demon let out a shrill cry like a baby’s wail from underground, but a three-foot-thick layer of ice had already sealed all the cracks. The blood plasma struggling in the rock crevices was frozen into coral-like ice sculptures, and the mist rising from the surface of the mountain stream suddenly condensed into ice crystals and fell.
A pile of rocks thirty zhang away to the southeast suddenly exploded, and the blood demon’s main body, along with the rubble, soared into the sky. However, the rocks were stuck in mid-air by an invisible cold air, freezing into hailstones along with the splashing blood droplets. The blood demon’s remaining body barely formed a human shape, half its body already covered in frost.
The Cold Sparrow Sword moved.
The sword edge only rose three inches, but the mountain wind suddenly became as sharp as a knife.
The blood demon’s head flew off directly.
Li Hanzhou killed with one sword.
Looking at the corpses of the blood demon and the tree demon, Li Hanzhou guessed that these two Demon Venerables were not accidentally here.
“Hmm?”
The Haoyue Envoy, who was searching for the King of Northern Qi with Xiao Wenxin, suddenly turned his head to look in the direction they had come from.
An incredible expression appeared on his face.
“Envoy Haoyue, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Wenxin curiously looked at the Haoyue Envoy.
“Two Demon Venerables were killed.”
The Haoyue Envoy didn’t hide it: “It seems I really underestimated your younger brother.”
Hearing this, Xiao Wenxin’s face turned pale.
Although he had thought that these two Demon Venerables might not be able to defeat Li Hanzhou, he hadn’t expected Li Hanzhou to be able to kill the two Demon Venerables so quickly.
How could this be?
Why did his useless younger brother suddenly become so strong?
“What realm is your younger brother in?”
“Um, probably Seventh Rank?” Even Xiao Wenxin himself lacked confidence when he said it.
Who’s Seventh Rank is like this?
Even the Haoyue Envoy was stunned after hearing this, Seventh Rank Realm?
Isn’t that trash that can be killed with a breath of air?
A Seventh Rank Realm cultivator can kill two Demon Venerables?
Even Xiao Wenxin felt absurd when he said it. He was even worried that the Haoyue Envoy thought he was lying to him.
He quickly explained: “It’s really Seventh Rank Realm. My younger brother was originally a good-for-nothing, but recently he suddenly seemed to awaken. He quickly rose from Third Rank Realm to Seventh Rank, and his strength is frighteningly strong.”
“Is there such a thing?”
The Haoyue Envoy stroked his chin, seemingly interested in Li Hanzhou.
“It seems he must be a body-seizer.” After all, the Haoyue Envoy had seen the world. A Seventh Rank cultivator killing a Demon Venerable was impossible.
Unless he was already an expert and then seized someone else’s body.
“But the seized body was only at the Third Rank Realm, and now a Seventh Rank Realm cultivator can kill a Demon Venerable. It seems that the body-seizer was at least an Immortal Realm expert before!” The Haoyue Envoy’s eyes lit up as if he had discovered some treasure.
“Can the realm and comprehension be retained after body seizure?”
“No, ordinary body seizure cannot do this.”
“Unless…”
The Haoyue Envoy stopped at this moment. Xiao Wenxin, seeing the Haoyue Envoy muttering something and then suddenly stopping, cautiously looked at the Haoyue Envoy and was about to ask.
The Haoyue Envoy suddenly said to himself: “Unless it’s the Reincarnation Disk.”
“Stay here.”
The Haoyue Envoy casually threw Xiao Wenxin to the ground, then pointed with a gesture, and actually drew a circle around Xiao Wenxin with True Qi.
This circle was glistening golden, and there were also flickering saber light phantoms in the golden light.
That saber light aura felt incredibly sharp, as if anything that approached would be killed by the blade.
Xiao Wenxin in the circle could feel the horror of this blade.
Even a Demon Venerable would die here.
“Don’t leave this circle; nothing can hurt you. I’ll be back to find you later.”
After saying this, the Haoyue Envoy’s figure instantly disappeared into the sky.
Leaving Xiao Wenxin alone in the circle, dumbfounded.
Didn’t he say he was going to help find his father?
Why did he suddenly leave?
Did he say something wrong?
Xiao Wenxin was very uneasy. The Haoyue Envoy left after hearing about his seventh brother’s matter, wouldn’t he suddenly regret it and want his seventh brother to become the King of Northern Qi?
Just as Xiao Wenxin was lost in thought, a low growl suddenly reached his ears.
He looked sideways, and several giant demon foxes had appeared around him at some point.
These demon foxes had six tails each. They stared intently at Xiao Wenxin as if looking at a delicacy. From their drooling gazes, it was clear that they hadn’t eaten human flesh for many years.
“Transcendent Realm!”
Feeling the aura of these demon foxes, Xiao Wenxin’s heart was filled with anxiety.
Looking around, there were more than sixty of them. He couldn’t fight so many demon foxes alone.
With a roar, a green demon fox pounced on him.
