I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 637 - 347: Ambush Battle (Part 2)

The sound was deafening, as if thunder from the Nine Heavens instinctively instilled fear in people.

Immediately, a powerful energy fluctuation spread instantly, causing the entire space to tremble.

An invisible force descended from the sky, bringing with it an immense pressure, as if it were going to crush their spirits completely.

The sky suddenly became gloomy at that moment, thick ominous clouds roiling, accompanied by intense energy explosions, and blood-colored raindrops drifting down from the sky.

Each droplet of blood rain carried an eerie aura, as if the tears of the Grim Reaper, each infused with a spooky feeling.

Hong Shuang and Hong San’s faces turned abnormally pale, as they looked up at the abnormal phenomena in the sky, their heart’s fear intensifying, filling them with helplessness and despair.

With Li Mu steering the Earth Element Spirit Ship swiftly out of the blood rain’s scope, simultaneously, he expanded the Magnetic Element Shield to its maximum, protecting himself and the ship from the blood rain’s corrosion.

Li Mu watched the blood rain in the sky vigilantly, feeling incredibly tense, his heart filled with anxiety.

This phenomenon was far from ordinary and could not be underestimated. Li Mu stretched his Divine Thought fully, controlling the Earth Element Spirit Ship, always ready to respond to any possible crisis.

Amid the blood rain, a phantom figure quietly condensed, emerging before Hong San, emanating an extremely powerful and terrifying aura, as if a Demon God from the abyss had descended.

With the appearance of this figure, Hong San’s body suddenly shivered, as if he saw some horrifying existence, his entire body enveloped by an invisible force, a power he couldn’t resist, rendering his fingers and limbs immobile.

Hong San’s body turned rigid; in the next moment, the illusory blood shadow swiftly burrowed into his body.

Soon, Hong San’s aura surged rapidly, exuding formidable oppression, as if transformed into an indomitable Demon God, filled with malevolent energy, as if about to unleash every grievance.

The next moment, a blood shadow was squeezed out of Hong San’s body by a weird force, this blood shadow was indeed Hong San’s primordial spirit, his face grimacing, filled with pain and fear, struggling frantically, yet unable to escape his own clutches.

At this moment, "Hong San," with eyes white and a calm demeanor, his essence completely transformed, was clutching a clump of blood-colored primordial spirit with both hands, muttering under his breath, his hands weaving eerie techniques, his voice cold and low, laden with resentful tones, sending a chill down one’s spine.

Hong San’s primordial spirit, with eyes wide and filled with terror, looked towards Hong Shuang, struggling painfully, silently seeking help, as if conscious of his destiny, yet powerless against this evil force.

"Demon Lord, no! Please don’t!"

Hong Shuang, witnessing the scene, cried out in despair. She already knew Hong San was possessed by the Blood Demon Lord - Dana! Not only had he taken over Hong San’s body, but he was also using Hong San’s primordial spirit to perform evil techniques. Once this secret technique was successfully enacted, Hong San would have no chance of revival.

Hong Shuang’s eyes were filled with fear and despair, her heart surging with indescribable sadness. She and Hong San had grown together, endured countless life-and-death trials together, yet now she witnessed her brother being controlled by the Blood Demon Lord, facing inevitable doom.

Nevertheless, Hong Shuang’s plea proved to be ineffective. With a single glance from ’Hong San’, her throat was instantly clutched, preventing her from uttering any sound. Her vision turned black, and she fainted.

Soon, "Hong San" let out an evil cold laugh, his entire body surged with an eerie force, his hands swiftly performing seals, mouths uttering whispers; with the utterance of the final syllable, his hands suddenly thrust, condensing a malevolent aura into a blood-colored spell.

Hong San’s primordial spirit shattered subsequently, transforming into a force of the soul curse filled with malevolent aura, instantly pursuing the Earth Element Spirit Ship, tightly adhering to the hull.

Inside the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Li Mu sensed the change with his Divine Thought, his countenance turning extremely unpleasant, promptly summoning the Yin Yang Thunder Flame to attack the blood curse.

However, the blood-colored spell was intangible, remaining unscathed even under the Tier Seven Celestial Fire - Yin Yang Thunder Flame’s bombardment.

In a "whoosh," it plunged into Li Mu’s body.

"Lord Li!"

Xue’Er, looking at Li Mu with a pale face, filled with dread, also clearly felt the presence of the blood curse aura.

"Master Li, are you alright?"

"Master Li!"

...

The figures of Fang Yunjian, Tianshang Supreme, and others appeared around the Earth Element Spirit Ship, anxiously asking.

They also witnessed the Blood Demon Lord’s handiwork, yet it was too late for assistance. As for the Blood Demon Lord - Dana, he had already taken away his injured subordinates and disappeared without a trace.

A sword shadow hurriedly arrived, landing on the Primordial Spirit Ship’s deck, revealing Sword Master Feng’s figure. Observing Li Mu’s condition, his tense expression relaxed slightly.

"This is the Bloodline Soul Curse Art, invisible and traceless, only with tracking and positioning effects, without other damaging attributes. It’s an Innate Divine Technique of the Blood Demon Race. Aside from killing the spellcaster, there’s no other way to remove it." Watching Li Mu, who was marked by the blood curse, activating his inner Yin Yang Thunder Flame to remove the blood curse, Sword Master Feng immediately explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mu furrowed his brows, reluctantly retracting the Yin Yang Thunder Flame. As Sword Master Feng said, this blood curse merely marked his divine soul, its soul power quite weak and causing little negative impact.

When it comes to soul power, perhaps Xiaobai might have a way to remove it. However, given the current crowd, it was not appropriate to summon Xiaobai.

"This Blood Demon Lord - Dana seems to truly harbor extreme hatred towards Master Li! Not only did he personally intervene, but he also set up this maneuver before leaving. How on earth did you offend him?" Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu curiously and asked, his words filled with astonishment and confusion, apparently baffled by Dana’s actions.

At his words, everyone also looked at Li Mu, their eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. In their understanding, Li Mu was merely a Junior Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, having just overcome the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation. Such a minor character shouldn’t warrant attention from a Integration Realm Demon Lord, much less direct retaliation from the Blood Demon Lord, risking curses.

"Even I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with the Celestial Secret Inference!" Li Mu chuckled bitterly, shaking his head helplessly, sighing to indicate he didn’t know.

In truth, Li Mu was well aware of the real reason why the Blood Demon Lord - Dana personally acted against him, aiming surely for the Water Mansion Key. However, concerning the secret of the Daoist Monarch’s Cave Mansion Key, this matter could not be revealed.

If this secret were leaked, the entire Cultivation Realm would be shaken, attracting countless powerful contenders and a myriad of troubles. Therefore, Li Mu could only find a seemingly plausible excuse to temporarily dispel everyone’s curiosity.

Upon hearing Li Mu’s response, Sword Master Feng furrowed his brow, showing signs of doubt.

Li Mu’s capabilities and Talent were evident; if allowed to continue growing, his future prospects were indeed limitless. Perhaps the Demon Abyssal Forces over there inferred this variable about Li Mu through the Celestial Secret Inference, aiming to extinguish him before he fully matured. For this reason, Blood Demon Lord - Dana took such measures against him?

However, this reasoning was a bit far-fetched and unreasonable. It’s apparent Li Mu was not an ordinary figure, hiding some secrets, but since he didn’t want to divulge them, probing further was inappropriate, Sword Master Feng immediately abandoned further investigation.

"Hmm, Dana has been severely injured by me, he shouldn’t be attacking the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region anytime soon," Sword Master Feng said, turning his gaze to Fang Yunjian and the others, "Yunjian, you take everyone back to guard the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, I will personally accompany Master Li back to the sect."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yunjian promptly agreed, "Yes! Sword Master!"

Then, Fang Yunjian turned to lead Tianshang Supreme, Chen Xuanzi, and others back.

Li Mu quickly retracted the Earth Element Spirit Ship, stored Xue’Er in the Spirit-Taming Treasure Bracelet, then boarded Sword Master Feng’s Flying Sword, transforming into a Flowing Light, and headed swiftly towards the Central State Spirit Realm.
