The Hundred Origin Sect was a sect skilled in the water and earth elements.
At this moment, Qiao Huai formed seals with both hands. Four solid yellow stone pillars instantly descended from the sky, embedding themselves around the Blood Robed Youth.
"Four Pillars of Hidden Tiger!"
Sensing danger, the Blood Robed Youth sent numerous bloody hands rushing toward the four stone pillars.
However, with loud "bang" sounds, the bloody hands struck the stone pillars without budging them.
Once the Four Pillars of Hidden Tiger were inserted into the ground, they could absorb Earth Qi to reinforce themselves, making them difficult to destroy!
Qiao Huai changed his seal technique, causing the four pillars to shine brightly. Thick yellow light connected between them, forming a matrix barrier that trapped the Blood Robed Youth inside.
At the same time, Yuan Chao raised his hand and pointed at his sword. The longsword soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
Instantly, the sky shimmered with water light, and clouds surged. Endless water vapor gathered around the sword, transforming into a Rain Dragon King manipulating clouds and rain.
The Rain Dragon King let out an angry roar, blue light swirling in its mouth. Numerous blue Rain Swords fell from the sky like a galaxy, pouring into the barrier formed by the four pillars.
Surprisingly, the thick yellow barrier did not hinder the Rain Swords at all.
In an instant, massive amounts of bloody energy exploded. Numerous bloody hands were shattered under the attack of the sword rain, unable to recover.
The Hundred Origin Sect, Rain Dragon Sword Technique!
Yuan Chao continued channeling Star Power into the descending sword rain with the sword seal in his hand, calling out loudly: "Junior Sister Yun, Junior Brother Xu!"
Li Qiao Yun was on her first mission outside the sect, while Xu Hengzhou was the weakest in terms of pure strength.
Although both were still somewhat nervous facing such an opponent, they did not falter in their actions.
Xu Hengzhou took a deep breath, pinched a seal, and his sword glowed with water light. Then, a dragon’s cry resonated from the sword.
"Poetry Sword·Water Dragon Chant!"
Xu Hengzhou’s eyes lit up with a sharp gleam. With one slash, his longsword transformed into a blue dragon, striking the Blood Robed Youth suppressed by the sword rain, creating a massive blood hole in his chest!
Blood surged in the Blood Robed Youth’s chest, ready to rapidly heal his body using Blood Power.
But this time, Li Qiao Yun, who had been prepared, made her move.
Waving her hands, the shimmering water dragon around her shot out, biting the Blood Robed Youth struggling to regenerate.
This water dragon was neither a beast nor a skill but Li Qiao Yun’s Power of Soul named "Sea Dragon Spirit," capable of both attacking and defending, with powerful purification effects.
Being bitten by the Sea Dragon Spirit, the Blood Robed Youth shuddered, and the regenerating Blood Power in his body collapsed and disintegrated, leaving his entire body to be completely devoured by the Sea Dragon Spirit in several bites!
The Sea Dragon Spirit circled in place, letting out a dragon’s roar to indicate it had fully digested, then flew back into Li Qiao Yun’s body.
"Phew... Finally dealt with!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Hengzhou exclaimed: "Senior Brother Yuan and Brother Qiao are truly formidable. Junior Sister Li’s Sea Dragon Spirit is indeed as mysterious as the sect rumors say."
Li Qiao Yun also sighed in relief, patting her chest with a smile: "Senior Brother Xu, your Water Dragon Chant is so powerful. You must have achieved Great Success, right?"
Speaking of this, Xu Hengzhou couldn’t help but feel proud and smiled: "That’s right."
Beside them, having dealt with the demon cultivator, Yuan Chao also relaxed somewhat but did not lower his guard.
Turning to the group, Yuan Chao spoke: "Since this demon cultivator is dealt with, let’s rest a bit; there are still some enemies in this forest."
Xu Hengzhou and Li Qiao Yun both responded: "Yes, Senior Brother Yuan."
Yuan Chao looked to the side, where Qiao Huai was still frowning, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a flowing array of colors.
Yuan Chao’s heart tensed slightly and asked: "Junior Brother Qiao, what’s wrong? Could the demon cultivator still have backup plans?"
Qiao Huai shook his head: "No, the demon cultivator is indeed dead, but Senior Brother, I can’t shake the feeling that something is approaching..."
"Something else..." Yuan Chao suddenly sensed something sharply and fixed his gaze behind Qiao Huai. "Watch out for the ground!"
Qiao Huai quickly dodged to the side, turning his head to see a trickle of blood flowing from ahead.
In the darkness of night, it was rather creepy!
Everyone tensed up, Xu Hengzhou and Li Qiao Yun also quickly moved away.
In everyone’s gaze, the blood stirred and then gradually took human form.
"What, he’s not dead yet?!"
Watching the blood form into the Blood Robed Youth, everyone’s expressions changed.
He was swallowed by the Sea Dragon Spirit, how could he still be alive!
Just then, sounds of blood flowing suddenly came from behind and around them.
In the next moment, blood surged from the ground, forming several identical, emotionless Blood Robed Youths.
"What the... What’s going on?!"
Xu Hengzhou and Li Qiao Yun were shocked, both stood stunned.
Yuan Chao and Qiao Huai had a sudden realization, their pupils shrinking as their faces turned extremely grim.
"So... it was all just clones!" Yuan Chao spoke with a trembling voice.
Qiao Huai also understood, his face turning pale.
The demon cultivator they had gone to such lengths to surround and kill was just a clone?
And now, there were four clones at once.
Even clones were this strong; how terrifying must the original be!
Instantly, everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom.
The strength of this demon cultivator was beyond their expectations, far exceeding them!
Just then, the four Blood Robed Youths moved, raising their right hands. Countless bloody hands attacked from all four directions.
"There’s no time to think, deal with the situation in front of us." Yuan Chao immediately swung his longsword, saying gravely, "Give it your all... or we’ll all die!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The Black Sky Light and the Demon-Subduing Pestle clashed repeatedly, with Flame Luo Ling and the Buddha statue’s bloody hands in constant combat around them.
There wasn’t much technique between the two giant Outer Path Avatars; it was a straightforward melee!
The Buddha statue could continually recover using Blood Power, while Void Evil Manifesting Saints, being an Undead Evil Fire Divine Fire Skill, could repair itself without consuming energy.
Both parties only attacked without defending, going all out against each other!
Star Power surged, the ground cracked, and a radius of over ten kilometers turned into a shattered, mangled mess due to the battle between these two Outer Paths!
"Such monsters..." The people on the shore were already dumbfounded.
Whether it was the blood-colored Buddha statue or Void Evil Manifesting Saints, they were indeed monstrous beings to ordinary people.
Two nearly simultaneous loud noises echoed.
The Demon-Subduing Pestle smashed into the head of Void Evil Manifesting Saints, caving in most of its head.
Meanwhile, Void Evil Manifesting Saints cleaved the Buddha statue’s shoulder, severing its entire left arm!
Both parties retreated, then Evil Fire rose, and blood surged; Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ head and the Buddha statue’s left arm fully restored in an instant!
"Damn it, why doesn’t his Outer Path Avatar consume energy to regenerate!" The Blood Robed Youth’s eyes were dark, filled with doubt.
Whether for personal regeneration or Outer Path regeneration, energy was required.
With the Blood Sea beneath him for support, he could summon the Bodhi Buddha Statue and attack relentlessly without concern.
But how was the opponent managing it!
Clearly, the Blood Robed Youth didn’t fully understand Divine Fire.
Even so, the Blood Robed Youth could feel that the opponent’s Outer Path Avatar could endlessly regenerate, outstripping his Blood Power’s endurance!
"At this rate, I won’t last long!"
The Blood Robed Youth’s gaze darkened as he narrowed his eyes slightly.
On the other side, Demon Soul’s eyes were filled with heat and excitement. This was the first invigorating battle since its rebirth!
"However, it should end now." Suddenly, Demon Soul’s eyes flickered with dense black Evil Fire...
