Chapter 31
On the side of the Blood Demon Church, the only red-haired man in the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm was already in a half-dead state. The rest of them were only in the middle stage of the Foundation Building Realm. Obviously, they were no match for the Milky Way Battleship.
“I didn’t expect the younger generation of Mini Southern Heaven to be so powerful. It seems that my sect has underestimated you.”
Xu Lu frowned at the Four Heaven’s Favorites in the air. There was no panic evident on her face.
“It’s alright~” Huyan Zan crossed his arms in front of his chest and arrogantly said, “On the other hand, I’m a little disappointed with you, Devil Cultivators. You are late Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but you can’t even take a beating.”
“Why are you wasting so much time talking to her? Let’s get rid of these small fries first,” Liu Qiao of the Divine Hall said impatiently.
“I’m afraid that demoness has a high status in the Blood Demon Church. Try to capture her alive.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Yan. He’s only at the Early Foundation Stage. It’s a piece of cake.” Huyan Zan said with a confident smile.
Then, Yan Changfeng’s sword Qi surged out and surrounded them.
Seeing this, Cheng Xu and the others immediately joined in the siege.
The people of the Bloody Demon Church surrounded Xu Lu and resisted with all their might.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Outside the main hall of the Jade Pure Sect, the battle was very chaotic.
The red-haired man took a few pills listlessly and reminded the girl with difficulty, “Miss, find an opportunity to run away using an escape technique later. You have a noble status, so you must not fall into the hands of these orthodox cultivators.”
“Don’t worry. The show has just begun!” Xu Lu smiled meaningfully and didn’t panic at all.
The red-haired man was a little confused. “Why do you say that?”
“Father contacted me earlier. If nothing unexpected happens, Lord Father should be here by now.” Xu Lu calmly looked around at the chaotic battle, and the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile.
The red-haired man was overjoyed when he learned that the Hierarch was about to arrive. He could finally relax.
In the chaotic battle, the followers of the Blood Demon Church started to take the Blood Demon Elixir crazily, completely ignoring the side effects of it.
The thick blood Qi intertwined and formed a blood Qi wall, guarding Xu Lu.
In the face of the Blood Demon Church’s followers who were fighting to death, the orthodox forces really couldn’t break in for a while.
“Brother Yan, why are these people from the devil path so excited? They don’t even care about their lives!” During the frenzied battle, the Divine Hall’s Liu Qiao couldn’t help but exclaim.
“It’s just futile resistance!” Huyan Zan said with disdain.
“The more it is like this, the more it shows the importance of that demoness!” Yan Changfeng’s pupils shrank. “Watch me!”
Yan Changfeng suddenly rose into the air and raised his sword high. The night sky was instantly filled with thunderclouds.
Then, bolts of lightning fell from the thunderclouds and struck all parts of the enemy formation, including Xu Lu, who was in the middle.
However, the lightning obviously could not hurt Xu Lu. The bronze bell alone easily blocked the attack of the lightning without the red-haired man’s help.
In comparison, the Blood Demon Church’s followers who formed the blood Qi city wall were in a worse state.
As the bolts of lightning struck down, screams of pain rose and fell.
Upon seeing this, Huyan Zan and the others also began to display their own large-scale techniques.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
For a moment, the entire Blood Demon Church’s formation was drowned by spells.
However, what they didn’t expect was that under the effect of the Blood Demon Elixir, the fallen demonic cultivators actually stood up again. Their bodies were burning with blood-colored flames, and their faces were ferocious, like zombies.
“What the hell?” Liu Qiao was shocked. “Why are they all coming back to life?”
“It’s that demoness’s bell!” Xue Lingyu seemed to have noticed something.
Everyone looked over and saw that the bronze bell was floating above their heads under Xu Lu’s control. As it gently shook, it let out a crisp bell sound and released circles of strange light waves.
Under the effect of this light wave, the fallen followers of the Blood Demon Church stood up one after another. Their bodies were burning with strange blood-colored flames, turning them into walking puppets.
The fiendish cultivators who had turned into puppets were even more terrifying than when they were alive. They were not afraid of pain or death at all.
Even if their heads were cut off, they could still fight.
Unknowingly, the attacks of the orthodox cultivators had been blocked.
On the other side, Cheng Xu was also stunned by Xu Lu’s actions. At the same time, he was secretly happy. After all, he had just obtained the same bronze bell from the demon prince who was walking his bird.
Out of curiosity, he took out the bronze bell and shook it, but it was of no use.
“It seems that this thing can only be controlled with a special technique.”
Just as he was about to put the bronze bell back into his storage bag, the bronze bell in his hand suddenly trembled violently. It quickly broke free from Cheng Xu’s hand and flew toward Xu Lu’s bronze bell.
“I’ll go!”
Seeing the bronze bell fly away, Cheng Xu subconsciously wanted to chase after it, but he was blocked by the line of defense of the Blood Demon Church.
He could only watch as the bronze bell fell into Xu Lu’s hands.
“Interesting. You’re an orthodox cultivator, yet you want to use my sect’s Blood Soul Bell.” Xu Lu looked at Cheng Xu with a faint smile. “It’s a pity that brother’s Blood Soul Bell is only a low-level imitation.”
As she spoke, she fused the demon prince’s Blood Soul Bell into her own.
Seeing this, Cheng Xu couldn’t help but feel angry.
It was not easy to get the treasure that he had been drooling over for a long time, but before he could even warm it up, it was snatched away by the demoness.
“Damn it, give me back my bell-!”
The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the angrier he became. With a light breath, an ancient seal character of “Qi” that was more than two meters in size appeared above his head.
In the next second, the blood puppets that were like walking corpses in front of him seemed to have disconnected. The blood-colored flames on their bodies extinguished one after another, and they fell to the ground in groups.
“Holy sh*t, which fellow Daoist did this?”
Huyan Zan, Yan Changfeng, and the others looked around in pleasant surprise, and their eyes finally fell on Cheng Xu.
It was not just the Milky Way Battleship, even Bai CI’er, Tang Xuan, and the others were stunned.
The demoness Xu Lu was even more dumbfounded.
“This …”
Cheng Xu was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground. He had only wanted to use the medicinal mantra to weaken the army of demonic cultivators and then charge in to take back his bronze bell.
He didn’t expect the Qi word mantra to have such a magical effect.
“I was wondering who it was. It’s Brother Cheng!” Liu Qiao of the Divine Hall was both surprised and delighted. “Quick, quick, quick, let’s do it a few more times!”
Yan Changfeng, Huyan Zan, and Xue Lingyu were also astonished.
Seeing the blood puppets fall one after another, the few of them quickly seized the opportunity and tried to break through the defense line in one go.
Looking at Cheng Xu, he seemed to have understood something after a brief moment of shock.
The effect of the Qi word mantra was to disrupt the “Qi” in the enemy’s body. Xu Lu’s Blood Soul Bell should be able to control the blood puppet by controlling the blood Qi in the puppet’s body.
As long as he disrupted the blood Qi circulation in the puppet’s body, he would naturally cut off the control of the Blood Soul Bell.
“As expected of the inheritance left behind by the ancestor. It’s indeed powerful! Senior brother, hurry up and send a few more waves!” Miao Changsheng exclaimed from behind. “Big Brother Yan and the others will be able to charge in soon!”
Then, he looked at Xu Lu’s side, and his expression instantly stiffened.
Xu Lu had never expected that Cheng Xu’s strange mantra spell would be able to block the Blood Soul Bell’s control over the blood puppet.
Seeing that Yan Changfeng and the others were closing in on her with an unstoppable force, Xu Lu quickly rang the Blood Soul Bell again to summon the fallen puppets.
“Detestable!” Xu Lu gritted her teeth in anger.
Although she could still control the fallen puppet again, it would consume a large amount of her true essence and mental energy for nothing.
“Damn, how did he come back to life again?” Seeing this, Liu Qiao hurriedly called out to Cheng Xu, “Brother Cheng, hurry, hurry, hurry, let’s do another round!”
Cheng Xu was also pushing in, so there was naturally no need for him to hesitate.
“Qi!”
As soon as the Qi word was used, a large group of blood puppets collapsed again.
Seeing this, Xu Lu, who was in the line of defense, could only summon the puppets again.
In this way, Xu Lu had consumed a large amount of vital essence. However, the demonic cultivators could recover their vital essence through the Blood Demon Elixir. In addition, there was a red-haired man next to her who was transferring vital essence to Xu Lu. The people of the orthodox path couldn’t kill their way in for a while.
On Cheng Xu’s side, after using the medicinal mantra a few times in a row, he was also exhausted.
“We can’t go on like this. It’ll be great if we can get rid of the blood puppets at their roots.”
