Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 401-Chapter 500)

He also had to surpass the pressure that Fu Qingjin and Dragonsnail could cause him.

“Blood demon, today is the day you die.” Seeing how the blood demon was close to death, Zhou Tong let out a great laughter.

The leader of the school of Names had already uttered “Freeze” eleven times, having reached his limit. He also eased up at this moment.

Bloodshadow, who had been reduced to a blood-red piece of meat, suddenly began to separate and twist. A sinister face appeared there.

Innate ability, Bloodlight Escape!

With a bang, the chunk of flesh exploded. Violent energy pushed away all the arcane artifacts and techniques. Only a blood-red daemon core revolved about as it took off as a red flash with a swish.

“Stop him!” Liu Zhangqing said in a hurry.

Even if he had not said that, Zhou Tong still would have extended his finger over. A serpentine bolt of lightning shot over.

However, when the blood-red light ran into the formation, it actually passed through directly and sailed across the sky. The lightning slammed against the barrier heavily.

Everyone in the city was left dumbfounded. How had Bloodshadow managed to escape given the current circumstances?



“The blood demon is just a daemon core now. He might be dead already,” Liu Zhangqing said bitterly.

Everyone wanted to believe that, but none of them could believe that! In that instant, the blood demon had clearly abandoned his body and taken off.

Was Bloodshadow dead?

Of course not!

Only after flying five hundred kilometers away did Bloodshadow stop and land. His flesh and blood immediately began to grow, turning into a blood-red bat in the blink of an eye, flapping its wings. A little later, he regained a human form. He seemed perfectly fine, apart from the fact that his face was pale-white, without a shred of blood.

“He actually managed to escape.”

Li Qingshan murmured, and the direction that the blood-red light fled in just happened to be the direction Xiao An had travelled off to. As he thought about the twisted expressions of Zhou Tong and the others right now, he could not help but smile.

“Don’t worry, my Xiao An will help you deal with this great enemy. I can’t accept those True Spirit pills for nothing.”

……

Having undergone a heavenly tribulation and become a Daemon General, Bloodshadow obviously possessed two innate abilities. The first one was a sound wave with an extremely large range of attack.

The second innate ability was the Bloodlight Escape. He could cross five hundred kilometers in a single instant, which was a hundred times more powerful than Li Qingshan’s Escape talisman. Even Golden Core cultivators would struggle to hunt him down.

However, whenever he used it, he would have to abandon all of his flesh and blood, which took a great toll on him. As a result, he would never use it unless he faced life-threatening danger.

As for his ability to control blood and the powerful vitality that allowed him to stay alive even when he was reduced to mince meat, they were the same as Strongboulder’s abilities as a Rock of Slaughter. It was a talent they were born with, not an innate ability.

This was also the reason why daemons with special bloodlines were stronger than regular daemons.

The torrential rain doused Bloodshadow. His face was pale-white, as if he did not even have the power to block the rain with his daemon qi. He leaned against a tree in exhaustion. His face was filled with resentment as he ground his teeth, thinking about revenge.

Suddenly, his face lit up. He sensed a vigorous cluster of vitality. This was the exact supplement he needed right now.

Bloodshadow made his way over to the other side of the tree. A young girl just happened to be sitting there, staring at a sparrow on the tree branch with her head raised. She seemed to be sheltering from the rain. Hearing the noise, she lowered her head and took a look. Her clear eyes reflected Bloodshadow’s figure perfectly. She was completely calm.

“A Foundation Establishment cultivator!”

Bloodshadow shivered inside, having sensed the spiritual qi within the girl. He had already become extremely shaken up. Afraid it was another trap, he wanted to retreat.

The girl did not move at all. The flowing blood under her jade-like skin gave off an intoxicating fragrance. Bloodshadow had never smelled something so tempting before.

The thunder continued to boom. The tree basically held up the surrounding region as the thunderstorm outside formed curtains of rain.

“How dare you come so close to me. This is just your bad luck. I’ll drain your blood first so that I can recover some daemon qi.”

Bloodshadow gradually settled down and sneered. With his speed, a distance of a few meters was basically no distance at all. He opened his pale hand and extended it towards the girl’s heart.

All of the blood in the girl surged and rampaged. With a bang, it erupted from her body.

Bloodshadow gulped down the blood. He immediately felt refreshed. The taste was just far too delicious.

However, to his surprise, the girl did not resist or put up a struggle. She did not even show any pain or fear. She just continued to stare at him calmly, which made him, the blood demon who had killed countless beings, feel strangely uneasy.

He felt like a frog that had caught a snake’s attention. Under the threat of his natural predator, his body stiffened, unable to move.

“What are you looking at!?” Bloodshadow was agitated. He struck with lightning speed, sending his fingers into her clear eyes.

When his fingers were just an inch away from her eyes, Bloodshadow suddenly froze.



W- What’s going on? Why can’t I move anymore?

The frog had yet to notice, but the lethal venom had been injected a long time ago.

Every inch of Bloodshadow’s body that had merged with the blood suddenly burst into flames. It began to burn vigorously.

With a boom, the Samādhi Flames of White Bone oozed out from every single pore on Bloodshadow, setting him alight and turning him into a torch.

The fire swayed and happily set Bloodshadow’s blood, flesh, and bones alight while freezing his soul. All he could do was watch as he burned.

The great vitality he depended on to make a name for himself, the great vitality he took pride in, had now become the perfect fuel for the flames.

In that instant, deep fear filled Bloodshadow’s eyes. “You’re not human…”

The fear vanished as his eyes were burned away. His voice halted as his tongue turned into fire.

With a swish, the blood-red daemon core shot off into the distance.

“You’re the one who’s inhuman.”

TL: An insult in Chinese is to label someone as not a human. It’s basically calling them inhuman, used for cases of inhumane cruelty or savageness. Xiao An is basically retorting Bloodshadow’s (true) statement that she’s not human.

Xiao An’s clear eyes turned, and she grabbed the daemon core. The daemon core trembled and struggled violently in her hands.

Her right hand gripped it firmly, immobilising the blood-red daemon core. Suddenly, it began to shine with dazzling, red light. It had already given up on escaping. Bloodshadow wanted to blow up his daemon core and drag her down with him.

She brought her left hand over the daemon core, forcefully drawing out a half-transparent, mist-like soul. It vaguely resembled Bloodshadow.

The red light dispersed, and the daemon core rested silently in her hand.

Three words naturally appeared in her mind—Blood Sea Banner.

A while later, a bolt of lightning shot over from afar. Zhou Tong did not place his hopes on catching up to Bloodshadow. The reason why he pursued was just to do everything he was capable of.

“Hmm?”

Zhou Tong sensed Xiao An’s aura from extremely far away. He descended from above on the Lightning Slaughter.

“Have you seen Bloodshadow?”

“He’s already dead.” Xiao An told the truth.
