Furthermore.
Being able to mooch off others is Chen Ye’s skill, and there are countless people in the world who wish they could but can’t.
During the conversation,
the black-robed cultivator shook his sleeve, releasing an endless blood mist that transformed the area into a sea of corpses and blood.
The thick Blood Evil Qi was not an illusion but a tangible manifestation of spiritual power with strong corrosive properties. If an ordinary cultivator touched even a trace, they would instantly turn into a pool of blood.
"Die!"
The black-robed cultivator let out a harsh cry, formed seals with his hands, and the pervasive bloody air surged in, cutting off all of Chen Ye’s escape routes and struck down fiercely!
This time, he was serious and attacked with full force.
"Ningyuan!"
Chen Ye dared not to be complacent as the Yucang flew out.
The spiritual power within him surged like a raging river, pouring into the Yucang, transforming into a sword Qi as deep and dark as an abyss, shooting out!
"Screech!"
The sharp sound was like a blade tearing through fabric.
The black light flashed and surprisingly split the thick, viscous blood-red wave apart!
With the appearance of the Yucang, all techniques fell!
The pitch-black sword light advanced implacably, crushing the blood mist ahead, and with its lethal intent unyielded, it charged straight toward the black-robed cultivator’s face.
"Interesting..."
The black-robed cultivator looked grim. With a flick of his wrist, the dissected blood sea twitched like a living creature and gathered into a thick blood shield before him.
"Clang!!"
The Yucang crashed into the blood shield, spraying spiritual flames and rolling airwaves.
The indestructible sword Qi was unexpectedly obstructed by this bizarre blood shield, causing the sword body to tremble lightly, buzzing continuously.
"Break for me!"
Chen Ye’s gaze was sharp as he formed a seal with one hand.
Life and Death Profound Light!
The pure, sharp sword Qi now carried an aura of decay and wither.
The once indestructible blood shield, tainted with the Life and Death Qi, began to crumble visibly, as if undergoing a hundred years of weathering in a single breath.
"What kind of demon technique is this?!"
The black-robed cultivator was shocked. This power of life and death was extremely effective against his blood Qi magic.
But as a battle-hardened Evil Cultivator, a glint of malice flickered in his eyes. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, causing the blood shield to explode and transform into flying needles, covering the sky as they shot toward Chen Ye.
"King of Vines!"
Chen Ye stomped his foot, and the ground roared.
Thick green vines, as robust as pythons, burst forth from the ground, weaving together into a tightly knit wall before him.
"Puff, puff, puff, puff!"
The blood needles penetrated deep into the vines, causing sizzling corrosion, but the vine wall firmly blocked this wave of counterattack.
At the same time, the remaining vines, like raging dragons, surged in from both sides and fiercely whipped toward the black-robed cultivator.
The two clashed back and forth, with spiritual light flashing, fighting from the sky to the ground. Within mere moments, they exchanged dozens of blows.
Chen Ye displayed a multitude of techniques: Life and Death Profound Light weakened the opponent’s defenses, King of Vines constrained his movements, and Yucang was lethal with every strike.
Meanwhile, the black-robed cultivator displayed depth and resilience, with blood path secret techniques emerging endlessly, always turning peril into safety, and sometimes even counterattacking fiercely.
"Boy, though your spiritual power is strong, your realm is ultimately inferior to mine! Once your spiritual power is exhausted, I will use your living soul to light the heavenly lamp!"
At this moment, the black-robed cultivator looked rather disheveled, his clothing torn, but his gaze was venomous, having discerned that although Chen Ye’s onslaught was fierce, it was also consuming a great deal of energy.
This boy is merely a Foundation Establishment Fourth-Layer cultivator, surely he cannot hold on!
"Heh..."
Chen Ye’s expression was indifferent, and he sneered secretly.
The cultivation technique he practiced was the Life and Death Profound Light Scripture, and he wasn’t afraid of prolonged battles.
Since forming the great cycle within his body, spiritual power flowed endlessly.
However, Chen Ye was concerned about unexpected developments on Bai Susu’s side, so he had no intention of continuing to tangle.
With a flip of his palm, a bizarrely shaped bell appeared.
The bell was entirely bone white, resembling a miniature skull—precisely the Top Grade Second Tier Magical Treasure, Cangming Aperture!
"Ding—"
The ethereal ringing suddenly echoed, bewitching the mind.
The black-robed cultivator, who was about to press on with his advantage, heard this sound and his expression turned furious: "So it’s the Cangming Aperture temporarily lent to Mei Suxin by the Divine Venerable! You really killed Suxin!"
Cangming Aperture, originally lent by the Divine Venerable to assist Mei Suxin in slaying Bai Susu, was an unparalleled treasure.
Once Mei Suxin was killed, the whereabouts of this treasure became unknown, even displeasing the Divine Venerable, which implicated the black-robed cultivator—he was sent by the sect to assassinate Bai Susu because of this!
"Since you recognize it, go and accompany her below."
Chen Ye’s face was cold, giving no chance for respite, as he lightly shook the Cangming Aperture.
"Roar—"
The hollow eye sockets of the skull bell spewed rolling gray mist.
The gray mist swelled with the wind, transforming into an entirely bone-white flood dragon in the blink of an eye!
The dragon opened its massive maw and, with a bellow, charged toward the blood sea.
"Boom!"
The flood dragon rolled in the blood sea, and its colossal head thrust forward, biting into a flagpole!
Having tangled with the black-robed cultivator for a long time, Chen Ye, with his potent divine sense, had during this period discerned his foundation, understanding that this overwhelming blood sea was manifested by the black-robed cultivator using this flag!
"Crack!"
The flood dragon seized the flagpole, devouring the Second Tier Upper-Grade Blood Soul Banner along with the boundless blood Qi, drawing it entirely into its belly, then shrank and retreated back into the skull bell in Chen Ye’s hand.
"What a treasure!"
Chen Ye caressed the bell, exclaiming in admiration.
Truly deserving of the top-tier Second-Tier Magical Treasure!
In the past,
the Cangming Aperture had similarly swallowed his Yucang.
"Puff!"
With the Blood Soul Banner snatched away, the blood sea dispersed instantly.
The black-robed cultivator’s eyes gaped with fury, suffering backlash as he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Finally, a flaw emerges..."
