Chapter 18 Blood Demon
"Ah, this, what on earth is..."
The Masked Assassin was utterly shocked by the dramatic changes in the arena, even forgetting his main task of tearing apart the barbarians.
Who could have thought, such a Wolf Demon Giant Beast, an existence that violently dominated the scene, would be instantly killed by a Blood Demon, breaking through and emerging!
What is this Blood Demon exactly...
"Ah! Blood God's Son!"
Suddenly, a scream came from nearby, temporarily regaining the assassin's attention.
Turning his head to look, it was Cheng Dangtou who had spoken.
In this burial mound, where a blood battle raged, the barbarians fighting below were left with broken limbs, blood and flesh tattered, yet this guy, despite being knocked out with a single palm, had survived thanks to the protection of a magic talisman and elixir pills.
"I knew it! Colluding with the demon sect's monsters!!"
Seeing the Blood Man, Cheng Dangtou struggled to pull a talisman from his sleeve, biting his finger to activate it!
The talisman instantly ignited, transforming into a fire arrow that soared into the night sky, vanishing without a trace.
Seeing this eunuch sending a signal for help, the Masked Assassin made no move to stop him.
First, he knew well that distant water won't quench immediate thirst; by the time the eunuch's reinforcements arrived, he would have already killed everyone present, destroyed the bodies, and put the blame on the demon heads.
Secondly, he was shocked by what he heard!
What!
Blood! God's! Son!
So this is the famous Blood God Great Method!
This is the legendary culprit that disturbed the world back then! The Demon Lord who overthrew the Immortal Palace!
The illustrious Ten Extremes Demon Sect!
A person's name, like the shade of a tree!

Even this assassin, who has killed countless people, was momentarily awed by the demon sect's infamous reputation! Sweat pouring like water, teeth chattering, even his breathing stalled!
If he was just a country bumpkin, a Loose Cultivator from the countryside, perhaps he wouldn't be so frightened!
But this assassin, on the contrary, was actually a tribute secretly raised by the Shi family, a Death Soldier among the Guardian Gate, having seen some of the world with his master!
Speaking of the supreme in the Three Realms, it was naturally the Human Clan's first ancestor, Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable back then!
The Three Constellation Immortal Palace established by the Immortal Venerable Emperor's Descendant, held sway like no other!
The Ziwei Star Constellation stood high above! Like the bright sun in the sky, illuminating the Kingdom!
The Twenty-Eight Constellation Guards! The Twelve Royal Families! Suppressing the world for ten thousand years!
Not to mention mere humans and demons submitting, even among the group of cultivators across the world, extraordinary beings, each name was recorded in the Immortal Records and Divine List, managed accordingly!
But in this world, there are uniquely two lineages that have always refused to bow to the Ziwei Emperor Star!
One is, the Nine Great Demon Sects!
The leader of the Demon Sect, Xuan Nu!
Alone with a sword! Slaughtered through the Three Constellations! Challenged the Immortal Palace's Eight Pillars of the Nation with a sword! Single-handedly killed three thousand Beichen Guards! Stabbed the Emperor on his throne!
The other is, the Ten Extremes Demon Sect!
The Sect Hierarch, Divine Lord!
Sweeping across the world! The Blood God's Son not perished! Enacted the Heaven-destroying Earth-exterminating Ten Absolute Array! Attacked cities, conquered countries! Pursued the north into retreat! Entirely annihilated the three Capital Guard armies! Massacred billions of people! Driving the Emperor's Descendant almost to abandon the Capital and flee!
Such Demon Sect, Demon Path, every rise was like a catastrophe to the world! Almost breaking the backbone of the Immortal Palace, overturning the Three Constellations' realm!
But alas, the goddess-like Divine Lord was too powerful, didn't have enough time to completely destroy the Immortal Palace before following the Immortal Venerable, shattering the void, ascending to Otherworld, breaking through to Outer Heaven...
However, the legacy of Demon Sect, Demon Path, has since passed down to mankind, perpetually cultivating those of the two vein Demon Path Cultivators, assassinating kings, causing chaos in the imperial court!
People from the Demon Sect are still better off, though all brutal murderers, they mostly practice in seclusion in mountains or forests, thin in numbers, rarely seen except when a flying sword occasionally takes your head.
By comparison, the members of the demon sect are much more troublesome.
They, hidden in every part of the Twelve Countries, setting up sect temples everywhere, enchanting the masses with demonic words, constantly conspiring to rebel! Truly they are like extinguished wildfires brought back by the spring wind, erupting in cycles, inciting revolts across the Nine Provinces!
However, a centipede dies but never falls apart easily.
The Immortal Palace, almost wiped out twice, relies on the Immortal Venerable's longstanding prestige for uplifting the Human Clan, the Imperial Family's millennia-old accumulation, and the steadfast support of the worldly noble families.
Each time the Three Constellation Immortal Palace was defeated terribly by the Demon Sect, Demon Path, it managed to survive precariously and return to peak!
For instance, the recent emergence of Emperor Wu from the Immortal Palace, rebuilding the Guard Army with gold mountains and silver seas, while the Great General, being a pillar of the nation, sweeping over mountains and rivers, pacified the world, setting unprecedented feats!
Unfortunately later, the Demon Sect's evildoer exploited the internal strife among the Gate, infiltrating the Capital, creating the witchcraft chaos, severely injured Emperor Wu, assassinated the Eastern Palace, and annihilated countless noble families.
Ultimately, the foundation of the Immortal Palace endured, although Demon Sect leaders and Dharma King Venerables battled fiercely with the Great General's Overlord Residence, both sides suffered heavy losses.
Thus, after this war, both the Immortal Palace and Demon Sect temporarily ceased fighting and went into seclusion, staying away from public dueling.
Yet unexpectedly! Now the ferocious Blood Demon resurfaces in the world!
Thinking of this, the assassin was flooded with hesitation, his mind in turmoil, confused with countless threads.
But demons don't have so many distractions!
"Cackle——!"
A white-haired, green-eyed three-eyed fox leaps out!
Now that the Demon Wolf is dead! All strong foes are gone! This treasure is destined for me to take!
Only to see this Great Demon twist its waist and sweep its fox tail! Igniting a tract of Green Lamp Fox Fire! Its fur was set ablaze by the green fire! Forming three Fire Fox clones! In the blink of an eye, four Fire Foxes were flying around the Demon Wolf's corpse! Fire sparks scattered around, quick as light and shadow, hard to tell real from fake!
Tie Dan glanced at it.
Though he didn't know what exactly happened just now, he knew his own body clearly, now reshaped in blood form, all his bones and tendons stretched, his body as light as a swallow, as if every pore was breathing freely, his meridians having expanded countless times over!
Previously circulating Qi felt like traversing a rugged mountain brook, now suddenly opened into an endless grassland! Although just a breakthrough, without enough accumulation of True Qi, yet sword qi and blood breath could now run side by side, freely flying, no longer restrained by the fetters of body revitalization! They no longer conflicted and fought!
"Caw——!"
The fox shrieked sharply! Countless ghostly fireballs! Burned and killed from all directions! All shot toward the Blood Man surrounded by the Fox Fire at the core!
Offering yourself up, then let's use you to practice.
"Boom!"
Demon Fire poured down like torrential rain! The fiery ghostily hot wave! Rushed directly at the Hound carcass on the ground which had lost its protection of Demon Qi, igniting it into a towering bonfire!
In an instant, Demon Fire soared to the sky! Lighting up half the grave mound! And amid this landscape of Green Lamp Ghost Shadow, woven with Demon Wind, spinning between dark and light!
Yet a Blood Shadow neither dodged nor avoided it directly crashed through Demon Flame, emerging through the fire!
"Squawk?!"
The Demon Fox was shocked! How is this possible?! The Fox Fire was ineffective?! Could it be a Martial God with Vigorous Qi protecting the body?! A True Immortal with Dao Breath soaring to the sky?!
The Demon Fox kept spinning, distracted for a moment, but the Masked Assassin saw it clearly!
"Broken open! This! Is sword energy!"
Indeed! The sword breaks all spells!
Exterminating the burning ghost fire! Ravaging Demon Wind! All cut off with one slash!
Like a Blood Wind rising! Accompanied by breathing, the green light blood shadow surged forth, stepping on flames!
That young man held a Red Cone made of fresh blood! The cone tip shone with greenish-white sword energy! Gleaming like star glow!
Beichen Sword Qi, must be wielded this way!!
"Those who block me will die!"
Suddenly accelerating towards the encircling ghostly fox shadows! Charging at full speed!
The Demon Fox thought it could deceive with its clone sorcery, creating Fake Illusions using Deception and allure, never expecting the opponent to detect the true body at once!
And recklessly charged forward! Caught off guard, its forehead was pierced by a sword! Tearing through the brow Demon Eye!
"Squawk aah——!"
The Demon Fox screamed in agony! The brow was pierced by sword energy, the blood spike broke into its pupil, spraying black blood at once!
The thick fluid splattered! Demonic power rampaged! The ghost fire originally attached to its fur surprisingly reversed along its hair! Setting the Demon Fox aflame!
With its Dharma Eye and Dao Meridian ripped open by one sword! The rampant flames lost control instantly! Burning it into shrill wails, rolling on the ground!
Finally, it was burned alive into dried wood! Stench filling the air! Ash and smoke scattered all around! Horrible to see!
"Gulp..."
The Masked Assassin swallowed a mouthful with difficulty.
Unbelievable!
This blood-colored youth, with just one slash killed this Golden Core Realm Great Demon! Completely unscathed!
Tie Dan wasn't surprised at all.
After all, it was a feathered animal, with too many fake moves.
If it had poured all the remaining demonic power into a direct fire assault, it would've been over, messing about with all those clones, running and jumping around, utterly nonsensical...
So he casually slashed the Demon Fox in half, dug out the roasted Demon Core from its gut, and started chewing it raw.
