Chapter 2499 - 2499 Mysterious Malevolent Blood Qi
2499 Mysterious Malevolent Blood Qi
The ancient city in the center of the Asura battlefield.
The ancient city was long dilapidated with only derelict walls left. However, there was still a mysterious power left in the ancient city that shocked the undead on the battlefield.
Be it the Asuras, Yakshas or other demon beast races, all of them who were chasing the cultivators stopped in their tracks when they arrived here. They lingered for a moment before dispersing.
In the ancient city.
The teams managed to break free from the pursuit of the undead after much difficulty. After charging into the ancient city, they did not continue forward and rested around the city gate to recuperate.
Some of them were severely injured, some of them had expended a lot of energy and some of them had horrified expressions with lingering fear, as though they were shocked.
Not only did the malevolent blood qi possess a strange sealing power, it could even invade the bodies of living beings and affect the Dao Hearts of cultivators! ReadNovelFull.com
If they did not recover as soon as possible and compose themselves, there was a high chance that they would be invaded by the malevolent blood qi and their Dao Hearts would be tainted, causing them to enter Qi Deviation and lose their rationality.
After the two days, the difference between them could be seen.
Only a few experts in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction were not affected much when they arrived at the ancient city.
Although the few of them had expended quite a bit of energy as well, they recovered quickly after eating some spirit pills and did not have to focus on recuperating.
“Xie Qingcheng isn’t here yet?”
Xie Tianhuang had a relaxed expression as he chuckled. “Could he have already left the Asura battlefield?”
Yue Hai said in a deep voice, “There are only slightly more than ten people in his group. It’s difficult for them to break through the pursuit of the undead of the various races.”
“He escaped yet another calamity!”
The number one Heaven Execution Guard, Song Ce, had a cold gaze and his tone carried a hint of regret. “If I had known, I would have attacked him back in the Yan Yang Palace and killed him first!”
“What a pity.”
Zong Feiyu pouted as well.
At the same time.
Under Su Zimo’s lead, Xie Qingcheng and the others finally arrived at the ancient city and escaped from danger.
Everyone exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief with joy.
At the very least, they no longer had to be on tenterhooks after entering the ancient city.
“There aren’t many awakened undead in the Asura Battlefield. We encountered a couple of them along the way but they were killed with ease.”
“Yes, as long as Fellow Daoist Su reminds us, we’ll be prepared. There’s nothing to fear.”
“That’s right. We were a little careless at the beginning and were only scared after seeing a few people die before our very eyes.”
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying said, “Actually, the Asura battlefield isn’t as savage as what the outside world claims. If we didn’t take those detours, we could have arrived at the ancient city sooner.”
“Perhaps the other teams have already entered the city.”
As he said that, Xie Qingcheng and the others entered the ancient city.
When Heaven Immortal Yue Ying saw the messy footsteps at the city gate, he shook his head. “Indeed, I was right. We took too many detours and the other princes have already arrived here first.”
Su Zimo had an indifferent expression and remained silent.
As Heaven Immortal Yue Ying spoke, everyone had already entered the ancient city and saw a group of cultivators healing on the spot near the city gate.
Sensing the commotion, the cultivators opened their eyes and looked over as well.
Both parties exchanged glances and were stunned on the spot, dumbfounded!
The city gate fell into a long silence.
“How is that possible?”
A few princes and many cultivators were shocked and their eyes widened in disbelief.
Xie Qingcheng and the others had arrived here alive!
What was even more amazing was that they were only missing one person.
Furthermore, the remaining 17 cultivators, Xie Qingcheng included, were neatly dressed without any bloodstains on their bodies. Their breathings were steady and their faces were rosy.
None of them looked like they had arrived here after experiencing countless life and death battles.
As for Xie Qingcheng, Heaven Immortal Yue Ying and the others, they were shocked when they saw the situation on the other end.
They did not look like teams of Heaven Immortals.
The group of people were scattered, either sitting or lying limply on the ground with dispirited expressions. At first glance, they looked like a group of wretched escapees covered in injuries!
What was even more frightening was that the Heaven Immortal experts under the lead of the princes opposite them suffered immense losses and their numbers were halved.
For example, Prince Xing Yan’s team had lost so many Heaven Immortals that their team had even less people than Prince Qingcheng’s team now!
“What… did they experience?”
“Did we miss something?”
Countless questions flashed through the minds of Heaven Immortal Yue Ying and the others.
Su Zimo was not surprised by this.
He turned to look at Heaven Immortal Yue Ying and patted him on the shoulder, saying earnestly, “From your tone earlier on, you must be upset that I’ve taken us too far off course. If you’re interested, why don’t you take a walk outside yourself?”
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying shuddered and shook his head hurriedly, smiling embarra.s.sedly. “N-No, I’m not interested.”
No matter how slow everyone was, they gradually understood.
If Su Zimo had not led the way, what they had experienced would not have been so simple!
When they saw the tragic state of the cultivators opposite them, everyone had no doubt that they might not even be able to see the shadow of the ancient city if they advanced normally!
Xie Qingcheng did not say much and looked at Su Zimo gratefully.
Unlike the other cultivators, Zong Feiyu, Song Ce and the other experts who were on the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction were initially surprised at the appearance of Su Zimo and the others.
Immediately after, a look of joy flashed through their eyes.
It was the joy of regaining something that was lost!
However, none of them attacked immediately.
Since Su Zimo had already entered the city, there was no need to rush.
Furthermore, it was clear that there was more than one person interested in Su Zimo. All of them were wary and had to look for a suitable opportunity!
Although Su Zimo did not look at Zong Feiyu and the others, he could still sense their hostility.
He was unmoved—what would come would eventually come!
“Let’s check out the ancient city.”
Su Zimo suggested.
Their group was different from the other Heaven Immortals and Immortals. They were not injured and were in no hurry to rest and recuperate.
At that moment, everyone was already convinced by Su Zimo. Even Heaven Immortal Yue Ying nodded in agreement right away.
Xie Qingcheng and more than ten other cultivators entered the depths of the ancient city and disappeared under the complicated gazes of many cultivators.
“Brother Su, you seem to have something on your mind along the way?”
Xie Qingcheng noticed that Su Zimo would often be in deep thought after entering the Asura battlefield.
Su Zimo did not reply immediately.
Along the way, apart from using his spirit perception to lead everyone to avoid danger in advance, he was also secretly channeling a few divine powers and secret skills.
After a few attempts, he discovered something strange.
The malevolent blood qi could indeed seal the Six Tusk Divine Strength. Even his Roc Wings would be sealed and could not be activated.
However, during this period of time, he tried to activate the secret skills of the h.e.l.l Suppression Tripod, the True Dragon Nine Flashes, Heavenly Perfected Water and Southern Mingli Fire. Yet, they were not sealed.
Logically speaking, those three secret skills were related to demon beasts as well.
However, the malevolent blood qi did not have much of a reaction to them.
What made Su Zimo feel even stranger was that his initial discomfort had gradually disappeared under the encirclement of the malevolent blood qi!
Not only that, the malevolent blood qi seemed to be nouris.h.i.+ng his fles.h.!.+
