Chapter 354: Wipe Them All Out
Chapter 354: Wipe Them All Out
The bald man felt as if he was instantly locked onto by the aura of the Yellow Courtyard Seal, and his face changed slightly.
At this moment, he didn't even have the time to think about killing Chu Ning.
He waved the claw-shaped magical artifacts in his hands frantically, sending a series of claw shadows flying out and merging in the air.
In an instant, these claw shadows formed a gigantic beast in the sky.
It resembled a tiger, with a size of about 50 feet, but it had a pair of wings on its back and a hideous and terrifying appearance.
This demon seemed to be entirely composed of blood mist, and as soon as it appeared, it exuded a nauseatingly pungent bloody aura.
It stood directly in front of the bald man, blocking the Yellow Courtyard Seal that was rushing toward him under Chu Ning's command.
However, what made the bald man's face change slightly was that before the blood tiger could even come into contact with the Yellow Courtyard Seal, it had only just touched the yellow glow surrounding the massive seal.
The red light of the blood tiger began to fade rapidly.
"How can the power of this ancient treasure be so strong? And how can it be wielded by a Golden Core cultivator?"
The bald man's face turned solemn as he continued to wave his hands, sending out more blood-red claw shadows.
With the support of these claw shadows, the blood-colored giant tiger in the air finally withstood the yellow glow of the Yellow Courtyard Seal and stopped fading rapidly.
It collided with the descending giant seal.
From a distance, Chu Ning saw this and quickly made a hand seal, causing the seal to erupt with a dazzling yellow glow once more.
But soon, the bald man realized that the claw shadows he was frantically waving were having no effect.
As the yellow glow of the giant seal pressed down, the blood tiger visibly began to fade and crumble at a rapid pace.
The claw shadows he was sending out were simply unable to compensate for the loss.
In just three breaths' time, the blood tiger completely burst apart in the air, turning into specks of blood-red light.
The Yellow Courtyard Seal, like a bolt of thunder, swiftly slammed toward the bald man!
Sensing the formidable might emanating from it, the bald man's face twitched involuntarily.
However, being locked onto by the aura of this ancient treasure, he had no means of escape at this moment.
Gritting his teeth, the bald man continued to stimulate the demonic powers within his body.
Under the influence of the Blood Killing Pill, his whole body surged with blood energy, resembling the manifestation of a blood demon.
The claw-shaped artifacts in his hands even condensed two bloody clouds.
He faced the descending Yellow Courtyard Seal head-on.
It was at this moment that the Yellow Courtyard Seal slammed down with immense force!
"!!!"
The yellow glow and the bloody clouds made contact, sending out a silent shockwave.
Both the glow and the clouds dissipated immediately afterward.
However, the Yellow Courtyard Seal showed no signs of stopping as it continued to slam into the bald man's body.
The bald man felt as if Mount Tai had just pressed down on him. Under this immense force, his entire body was slammed into the ground!
Incredibly, this Nascent Soul cultivator had been blasted underground by a single strike.
The Yellow Courtyard Seal flew back up, and below, there now lay a man made of blood.
If one could say that the bald man earlier seemed like a blood man due to the influence of the Blood Killing Pill, causing his blood energy to surge and his appearance to resemble blood, then the current state of the bald man was something else entirely.
His seven orifices were bleeding, and his muscles and bones seemed to be seeping blood as well.
He was, without a doubt, a true blood man.
He slowly stood up, his eyes fixated on the ancient yellow seal that had returned to the sky, a horrified expression flashing across his face.
Then, he turned his gaze toward Chu Ning, his eyes glinting with a cold light.
"Good, very good!
If I hadn't taken the Blood Killing Pill just now, that strike would have been enough to destroy my physical body.
However, with the amount of strength you've exerted, such a powerful attack can only be used once, am I right?
Since that's the case, then it's time to gamble your life away!"
There was a hint of ridicule in the bald man's tone as he shouted fiercely.
He could clearly see that Chu Ning had exhausted a significant amount of spiritual power after unleashing that powerful strike with the Yellow Courtyard Seal.
However, just as he finished speaking and before he could even move, he saw Chu Ning take out a jade bottle and pour something into his mouth.
In an instant, the previously evident spiritual power depletion seemed to have been swiftly restored.
"How is this possible? Could this be...Eternal Milk?!"
The bald man suddenly thought of this legendary treasure.
A sense of dread filled his heart.
Eternal Milk, be it the thousand-year or ten-thousand-year variety, was known for its miraculous effect on spiritual power recovery.
While he had heard of the former, even he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, had never laid eyes on the latter.
"Just where did this guy come from?"
At this moment, the bald man was fully convinced that Chu Ning must be the descendant of some great elder from a major sect.
Otherwise, how could a Golden Core cultivator like him possess so many treasures?
However, he didn't have time to ponder this any further, because at that moment, Chu Ning, who had fully recovered his spiritual power, formed intricate hand seals and cast an extraordinarily profound incantation.
In front of him, a illusory seal identical to the Yellow Courtyard Seal appeared.
Along with the incantation, Chu Ning pointed a finger, and the illusory seal flew up, merging with the Yellow Courtyard Seal above.
In the next moment, the Yellow Courtyard Seal, which had just flown back up, descended once more, striking toward the bald man with overwhelming force!
The bald man's face changed drastically as he witnessed this.
Previously, he had exerted all his strength just to barely withstand the strike of the seal, and even then, he had sustained significant injuries.
Now, there was no way he could withstand another strike from the ancient seal.
However, being enveloped by the aura of this ancient treasure, he found himself unable to stop or flee even if he wanted to.
Another silent impact shook the air, but this time, the bald man's body didn't get blasted into the ground.
However, where his body had been seeping blood, it now gushed forth violently.
The next moment, his entire body exploded!
Under the assault of the Yellow Courtyard Seal, the bald man's physical form was instantly obliterated!
Chu Ning swiftly flew towards the scene.
Nascent Soul cultivators were not like Golden Core cultivators; the destruction of their physical bodies didn't necessarily mean their demise.
Indeed, the next moment, Chu Ning saw a tiny figure, resembling an infant, fleeing.
This figure looked exactly like the bald man.
It was his Nascent Soul!
"You little brat, wait for me! The Yin Demon Sect will never rest until we've taken your life!" The Nascent Soul roared as soon as it appeared, its voice filled with rage.
It transformed into a blood-red light and, clutching a storage bag, fled into the distance.
Its speed was astonishing, even faster than the bald man had been before.
"Oh?"
Chu Ning was taken aback by this turn of events.
The speed of this Nascent Soul was almost comparable to that of Qiu Qijun from before.
Such speed was truly beyond Chu Ning's expectations.
Surprised as he was, Chu Ning's own speed was no less impressive.
He quickly recalled the Yellow Courtyard Seal and took out the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel artifact from his storage bag.
Chu Ning transformed into a dazzling streak, swiftly pursuing the fleeing Nascent Soul.
Since this man was from the Yin Demon Sect, and the Yin Demon Sect held significant influence in the Eastern Sacred Continent, Chu Ning couldn't let him escape so easily.
Otherwise, given the Yin Demon Sect's reputation, they would surely seek revenge relentlessly.
Chu Ning was confident in his ability to evade their pursuit, as it would take a powerful expert from the sect to pose any real threat to him.
However, he was concerned about Cen Zijin and the other female cultivators from Yaochi Palace. They would be in grave danger if the Yin Demon Sect decided to take revenge on them.
The two figures, one in pursuit and the other fleeing, moved at lightning speed.
Sensing Chu Ning closing in, the bald man's Nascent Soul wore an expression of fear.
"This guy's speed is unbelievably fast!"
Cursing inwardly, the bald man's Nascent Soul took out a pill and swallowed it, causing his speed to surge once more.
In an instant, he pulled ahead, creating a distance of several hundred miles between himself and Chu Ning.
A relieved expression appeared on the Nascent Soul's small face.
"He's only a Golden Core cultivator. As long as I can put enough distance between us and get out of his spiritual sense range, he won't be able to find me."
With this thought in mind, the bald man continued to increase his speed.
Indeed, he quickly managed to create a gap of several hundred miles.
Chu Ning was astonished by this development. His own speed was already exceptional, yet the bald man had still managed to pull so far ahead.
"It seems he must be using some sort of secret technique," Chu Ning mused.
Recalling how the Yin Demon Sect cultivator had previously enhanced his strength using the Blood Killing Pill, Chu Ning began to form a hypothesis.
However, Chu Ning also guessed that the bald man wouldn't be able to maintain this speed for long.
They were still quite far from the Yin Demon Sect's lair in the Biyu Mountain Range, and he couldn't afford to let the bald man escape back there.
Using his spiritual sense to locate the Nascent Soul, Chu Ning continued the pursuit.
Soon, he sensed the bald man's Nascent Soul changing direction in mid-air.
After flying another hundred miles or so, the bald man's speed began to slow.
"Does he think he can lose me now?"
Chu Ning found this situation amusing.
He had a hunch about what the bald man was up to.
Without hesitation, Chu Ning activated the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel and continued the chase.
Before long, Chu Ning's spiritual sense detected that the bald man's Nascent Soul was descending, hiding within a mountain range below.
"Hmm? A spirit stone mine?"
From a distance, Chu Ning sensed the condition of the mountains and immediately formed a hypothesis.
He had previously attacked a spirit stone mine belonging to the Yin Demon Sect, alongside cultivators from the Purple Moon Sect.
Although he hadn't used his spiritual sense to investigate further, he already had a good idea of what was going on.
Chu Ning was aware that the Yin Demon Sect would likely have guards posted at such a mine.
However, he didn't expect the guards to be of a very high level, perhaps only Golden Core cultivators at most.
"A spirit stone mine of the Yin Demon Sect!"
Chu Ning continued to fly forward, his eyes glinting with determination.
Since the bald man had been kind enough to lead him here, Chu Ning decided it was time to collect some interest on the Yin Demon Sect's debts.
"Bai Ling!"
Chu Ning had previously used the excuse of needing to leave the bone boat to enter his spiritual beast bag, where he had remained hidden until now.
"Wait until we reach the spirit stone mine. I'll take care of the Nascent Soul, while you and Da Jin, Xiao Jin, kill the rest of the Yin Demon Sect cultivators. Show no mercy!"
Chu Ning's voice was cold and ruthless. It was time for the Yin Demon Sect to pay for their previous actions.
"Yes, young master!" Bai Ling replied obediently.
