Chen Moxuan felt a growing unease in his heart. Even if something truly emerged from within, it couldn't possibly be anything good. Given the style of the Blood Emperor's faction, there was bound to be a trap.
As Chen Moxuan and Tiger Brother whispered to each other, the situation on the battlefield underwent a dramatic change. Di Sha Jiang Jun noticed that General Batu's resolve was wavering, and a glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He knew this was the perfect moment to pursue.
With a swift movement, he darted forward like Gui Mei, chasing after General Batu. Yin Ming Gui Ren cut through the air, leaving behind a sharp whistling sound.
General Batu felt a tightening in his chest; he could sense Di Sha Jiang Jun's fierce killing intent rapidly closing in on him. Not daring to hesitate for even a moment, he quickly swung his long knife. A faint blood light flickered along the blade, as if it could sever any obstacle in its path.
Just as he prepared to fight with all his might, he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye. His subordinates were demoralized by the sudden death of their leader, their morale plummeting. Fear and confusion filled their eyes, as if they had lost the will to fight.
"We can't continue fighting; otherwise, my troops will be annihilated!" General Batu realized that if he persisted in his stubbornness, he might not even have a way to retreat. Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain from his injuries, he began to withdraw with all his strength.
He swung his knife to fend off Di Sha Jiang Jun's pursuit while loudly calling out to maintain order among his troops and urging them to retreat with him.
Di Sha Jiang Jun shouted back, "Don't chase a desperate enemy! Pursuing now will only provoke the Chita Legion into a fierce resistance and cause unnecessary casualties."
Understanding that he had already achieved his goal, Di Sha decided it was unnecessary to take further risks in pursuit. His gaze shifted toward the Blood-red Light at the entrance of the ruins, anticipation glimmering in his eyes.
On the battlefield, the chaotic scene of flashing blades and flying blood began to fade away as General Batu distanced himself from Di Sha Jiang Jun. Di Sha Zhan Bu also refrained from continuing the attack; if Batu were to act dishonorably and use overwhelming force against them, it would only result in needless casualties.
After all, the morale of the Chita Legion had completely collapsed.
At that moment, however, Chen Moxuan suddenly noticed something strange. The Blood-red Light at the entrance of the ruins began to undulate slowly, as if some form of life was struggling within it.
Startled, he quickly grabbed Tiger Brother beside him and whispered, "Look at that red light; something seems off!"
Tiger Brother furrowed his brow at Chen Moxuan's words and stared intently at the Blood-red Light at the entrance of the ruins.
After a moment, he slowly spoke up. I could sense a powerful life force inside, struggling to break free from its restraints. If it managed to escape, it would likely spell trouble for these mortals.
Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow. Clearly, the descendant of the Blood Emperor had left behind a contingency plan. "Can you sense the location of Shen Lan?"
Tiger Brother pointed to the bottom of the pool. "It's at the very bottom, but this life form might have a deep connection with that Wu Lan. To seize the Divine Weapon, we must eliminate that thing."
Chen Moxuan glanced at the remaining group and said, "I feel like this war has only just begun. That woman from the team that came out with Ma Xingyu and Wei Yuanjing is quite formidable. It seems she has noticed my scrutiny."
Tiger Brother nodded. "Indeed, her perception is very sharp; it reminds me of those mystical diviners. However, you should focus on that Fire Serpent Demon; it seems interested in Di Sha Zhan Bu. Don't let your descendant fall in the chaos."
Upon hearing this, Chen Moxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous glint. If someone wanted to kill my distant descendant, they would have to pay with their life!
Tiger Brother laughed heartily. But just after a couple of chuckles, he suddenly pointed at the pool. In the next moment, a grotesque mass surged out from within. The mass instantly absorbed all the remnants on the battlefield, devouring countless pieces of flesh and blood.
To Chen Moxuan and the others' astonishment, the mass gradually began to grow limbs and a head. Eyes, a nose, and a mouth slowly emerged on its head!
Could this be rebirth? Chen Moxuan exclaimed in surprise.
Tiger Brother shook his head in denial. "The Reincarnation Hall is functioning normally; it doesn't even possess the strength of a First Rank. How could it be reborn? Not everyone in this world can be like you, you monster."
Chen Moxuan couldn't help but glance at Tiger Brother, unsure whether he was being praised or insulted. "Well said; next time, just don't say anything."
The two were deep in conversation when the fleshy mass sprouted limbs and formed a shape resembling that of a human. In the next moment, it thrust its hand into its own body, which had yet to develop skin. A blood-colored longsword, reminiscent of a human spine, was pulled from the flesh!
The monstrous mass finally fully developed arms, legs, and a head. Its form gradually became clearer, revealing a giant with bare skin that was blood-red. Its eyes burned like flames, flickering with madness and a thirst for blood. A sinister smile curled at the corners of its mouth, as if the entire world lay prostrate at its feet.
“Hahaha! I, the Blood Demon, have finally been reborn!” It laughed maniacally, its voice booming like thunder, causing those nearby to wince in pain from the sound.
To think that upon awakening I would see you ants! But this is good; you will serve as my blood food and help me reach my peak once more!
With the Blood Demon’s roar, it swung the blood-colored longsword violently, stirring up a storm of blood and gore. The sword seemed to contain endless resentment and hatred. Each slash was accompanied by piercing wails, as if countless souls were struggling within.
Di Sha Jiang Jun’s expression turned grave at this sight. He knew well that the Blood Demon’s power was far from ordinary; it had likely reached the eighth or ninth level of its realm. To be reborn with such strength—if given time to recover, how terrifying would it become?
Yet Di Sha Jiang Jun could not retreat; behind him stood his subordinates. He shouted loudly, wielding Yin Ming Gui Ren, charging toward the Blood Demon like a ghostly shadow.
A mere Blood Demon dares to act so arrogantly here? Watch how I will cleave you with Yin Ming Gui Ren! Di Sha Jiang Jun roared.
The blade shimmered with a ghostly light as it clashed with the Blood Demon’s longsword in mid-air, producing a deafening metallic clang. The Blood Demon merely smiled disdainfully; its blood-colored longsword seemed to possess boundless power. Each swing sent jolts of numbness through Di Sha Jiang Jun’s arms, nearly causing him to lose grip on his weapon.
Hmph! The mere strength of Tai Jiu dares to contend with me? The Blood Demon sneered, clearly this land has long forgotten my legend; today I shall make you remember!
