Blood Path Gu Immortal!
Due to historical reasons such as the Blood Sea Ancestor, and the distinctive characteristics of the Blood Path school, anyone who cultivated the Blood Path within the Five Regions was invariably classified as a member of the Demonic Path.
Previously, when the Chu Sect and the Hundred Legs Family formed an alliance to resist the joint punitive expedition of the Golden Family, Chu Du's side could have potentially secured a powerful ally. Unfortunately, this individual practiced the Blood Path. Chu Du rejected him immediately, his attitude utterly decisive, without a shred of hesitation.
That was because Chu Du wished to establish a Righteous Path force. Once affiliated with the Blood Path, he would inevitably be labeled as part of the Demonic Path, rendering all his efforts fruitless.
However, for the Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land, there were no such concerns.
Because the Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land itself was the gathering place for Northern Plains Demonic Path Gu Immortals. It was neither a family nor a sect. Both families and sects possessed characteristics of nurturing members, including mortal members. The Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land was purely a union of interests.
After leaving the Twelve Snow Peaks, Zhao Lianyun arrived at the Tenth Snow Peak.
The one guarding this place was a Demonic Path Gu Immortal surnamed Zhao, named Pu. He wore hemp cloth robes and cloth shoes, his head was bald, his features ordinary, and his height neither tall nor short.
He stood in the center of the great hall, while Yu Yiyizi was retreating repeatedly, backed up to the very edge of the hall.
The latter was covered in blood, his injuries extremely severe.
When Zhao Lianyun saw her companion, she almost didn't recognize him. Yu Yiyizi was normally a delicate and good-looking youth, but right now he looked as though he had just rolled through a sea of blood and been fished out of an endless crimson tide.
"This Gu Immortal's other abilities are mediocre, but he possesses a Blood Path Immortal-level killing move that is incredibly powerful! When activated, first blood erupts from his entire body, then transforms into a torrent of blood that shoots forth. Once that blood torrent touches your skin, you're hit. After that, you will bleed ceaselessly, and as time passes, the bleeding will worsen! You must be extremely careful." Yu Yiyizi had been fighting a bitter battle. Seeing Zhao Lianyun, he hastily warned her.
"Got it! You rest first, I'll deal with him." Zhao Lianyun stepped forward.
"Good, another one comes to die." Zhao Pu stood in place, motionless, arms crossed over his chest. He let out a savage laugh, revealing cold, sharp teeth. Instantly, an aura of demonic nature and slaughter surged forward.
Immortal Path Killing Move—Life-Locking Silver Chains.
Zhao Lianyun had been preparing this move since earlier. Now, a massive wave of Gu insect aura surged from her body. Her Immortal Essence was consumed, and a film of silver light enveloped her from head to toe.
Clang-a-lang…
A series of clashing chain sounds echoed from within the silver light film.
Then, six lengthy chains shot out from the silver film. The six chains gleamed with brilliant silver light, incredibly agile, circling around Zhao Lianyun—front, back, left, right—spinning in protective orbits, forming a solid defense.
Having undergone extensive training, and having recently fought a desperate battle against Zhao Daniu, Zhao Lianyun seemed reborn. Every movement in combat now carried a decisive, killing aura, far removed from her former novice appearance.
The Tenth Peak Master, Blood Path Demonic Immortal Zhao Pu, however, watched Zhao Lianyun activate her killing move without making any move to stop her. He stood there, seemingly indifferent, letting her do as she pleased.
Seeing this, Zhao Lianyun immediately activated another Immortal Path Killing Move.
Meteor Rain Descend!
More Immortal Essence was expended. High above Zhao Lianyun's head, near the lofty vaulted ceiling of the great hall, a deep blue expanse suddenly formed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Countless meteors shot forth and erupted from that patch of deep blue, raining down across the sky like a thousand cavalry and ten thousand soldiers loosing arrows simultaneously. The spectacle was magnificent!
These meteors were very fine, like countless hidden projectiles. Once fired, their momentum was overwhelming, like a torrential downpour pounding down upon one's head, leaving nowhere to dodge.
If Zhao Pu made no move now, he would surely be riddled with holes by these tiny meteors.
He indeed dared not underestimate them further. A vast blood cloud suddenly materialized above his head, unfurling like a great umbrella to shield him firmly. The meteors struck the blood cloud and were completely blocked, the cloud's volume shrinking visibly at a rapid pace.
Zhao Pu gritted his teeth inwardly, stomped his feet, and his body shot toward Zhao Lianyun like a red streak.
Zhao Lianyun's mind wavered, and she instinctively took a step back.
But the silver chains swirling around her reacted even faster than she did. One of them shot toward Zhao Pu like a striking flood dragon.
Zhao Pu hastily dodged, veering away from that direction and choosing another angle to assault.
But almost simultaneously, another silver chain lanced toward him.
Left with no choice, Zhao Pu had to retreat again, selecting yet another direction.
