Chapter 206 Reencounter with the Crimson Demon
At the Shuihuacheng Wharf, piles of corpses of civilians were stacked together. All of them had been drained of their blood and gathered in the large fishpond in the middle of the wharf.
Blood gushed forth, and dozens of White Lotus followers knelt and worshipped around the pool of blood.
In the very center of the blood pool, the red-haired old man sat quietly, receiving a bath in the blood.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the main road ahead, and revealed a sinister smile.
"You've come quite quickly. I've only been here a short time, and you've already broken through."
A man in black standing beside the blood pool hurriedly cried out, "Demon Lord! I'll go kill the intruder!"
"No rush. Since the person who came here was able to break through all the way, it proves that they are quite strong. With your cultivation level, going up would only be suicide."
"But Demon Lord... we can't let them disturb your cultivation of divine arts!"
"Hmph, do you think I would grovel and beg Black Bat Protector to let me pass?"
"Naturally, it's because the Demon Lord had already ordered us to prepare blood sacrifice materials for your cultivation," the man in black said devoutly.
That's right. The reason why this red-haired old man volunteered to kill Ye Kang was not because he was truly loyal, but because he wanted to find an opportunity to cultivate here.
The doctrines and beliefs of the White Lotus Sect held no appeal whatsoever for him, who had only joined a few months prior.
This person was none other than the Crimson Demon, who was severely wounded by the Eagle Guard during the Battle of Tiansun Mountain and only managed to escape at a great cost.
No one expected that this old devil, who once dominated the Jinling area, would join the White Lotus Sect by a twist of fate.
Of course, it's impossible to win over such a demon.
Joining the White Lotus Sect was merely a temporary measure; the real purpose was to break through to the ninth rank and master the Blood-Damaging Demonic Art.
Now, he is using the White Lotus Sect to cause trouble, secretly cultivating his own power, having them help him massacre the city, and then finding an opportunity to absorb the blood of the city's inhabitants in order to refine his demonic arts!
"Sky Eagle, even if I lose my demonic powers, I can still break through to the ninth rank. I have never forgotten the blood feud from back then."
The Crimson Demon's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his hatred transforming into black mist that swirled around the dock.
With so much blood being absorbed and contaminated by the Blood Damage Demon Art, his strength increased once again, and he had stabilized his initial ninth-grade realm.
So what if the experts from the Azure Scale Guard arrived a step earlier!
I can still fight!
Without hesitation, he looked towards the end of the road, where two large horses slowly approached.
Upon seeing the sky filled with black mist, Ye Kang was immediately flooded with memories.
It's exactly the same as Yan Huan's technique!
Blood-Draining Demonic Technique!
The person's identity is now obvious.
Although Ye Kang had never met the Crimson Demon, he was still certain that it was him.
I really didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance here.
Although the other party did not recognize him, nor did they know that he was the one who killed his son.
What was the name of the Crimson Darkness Demon again?
Forget it, I won't dwell on it anyway, since my surname is Yan.
Ye Kang gave a strange smile and reached out to stop Gu Lingwei from continuing forward.
"Wait here, that guy up ahead is a bit dangerous."
"Then be careful."
Gu Lingwei reined in her horse and turned around without saying a word.
She was well aware that her abilities were too limited; she would not only be unable to help but would also become a burden. Therefore, obediently following orders was the best way to help.
Ye Kang also dismounted, flattered the horse, and let it follow Gu Lingwei away.
He walked slowly forward, and before he had gone far, the system sounded.
【Ding】
[Mission issued: Slay the Crimson Demon]
[Task Reward: Comprehension]
……
Ye Kang's face darkened, and he shouted from afar, "I am Song Xian of the Azure Scale Guard! You traitors have slaughtered civilians, and your crimes are unforgivable!"
The White Lotus cult members exchanged glances, drew their weapons, and, at the behest of the Crimson Demon, took their positions behind the blood pool.
The Crimson Demon slowly rose to his feet, his blood transforming into streaks of black blood that circled his body, as if they had come to life.
Barefoot, he stepped out of the blood pool, and a few drops of black blood fell, causing the ground to sizzle—the most potent corrosive property of the Blood Loss Demon Art.
"Lord Song Xian, you've arrived so quickly. This wasn't part of our plan."
The Crimson Demon sneered, summoning countless blood orbs with one hand, surrounded by black energy, his power far surpassing that of Yan Huan back then.
Ye Kang stopped in his tracks and suddenly said, "What right do you, a man of perverse virtue, have to address me by my name!"
"What did you say!"
The old demon Chi Ming narrowed his eyes, a surge of anger rising in his heart. Then, he swept his pressure, and endless blood energy transformed into blood spheres, rushing straight towards Ye Kang.
In an instant, the wind swept through the streets and alleys, and the powerful true energy belonging to the ninth-grade innate level pressed down from the sky. Ye Kang remained unmoved, took out the demon sword with his left hand, and slashed in mid-air.
The white tiger pounced out and collided with the blood sphere, but the sword energy was shattered in an instant. Ye Kang had no choice but to use the demon sword to slash continuously and cut the blood sphere that was close to him to pieces.
Black blood stained the blade, and the Crimson Demon revealed a triumphant smile.
Sure enough, the next second, the Blood Loss Demon Art was activated, and the highly corrosive true energy wrapped around the demon blade, instantly corroding it and creating dozens of gaps.
The demon sword was not of high grade to begin with, and now it had lost all its spirituality and had become nothing more than scrap metal.
Ye Kang frowned and quickly used his Imperial True Qi to shake off the black energy. He then wrapped the blade with a strip of cloth and threw it into the Moyu Ancient Treasure.
He sighed inwardly; the knife that had been with him for so long had finally come to the end.
Ye Kang couldn't help but grit his teeth, a surge of anger rising in his heart.
The Crimson Demon laughed, "So you're just a peak eighth-rank cultivator. I wonder what methods you used to kill those trash in front of you. But you came here alone, so it's time to go your way. How does it feel? Your weapon was destroyed by me, you must be feeling pretty bad, right?"
He burst into laughter, and the group of White Lotus followers behind him joined in the mockery.
Ye Kang was silent for a moment, then pulled out his Frostwood Bow and laughed, "Old man, what I'm good at is actually archery. I wonder if you've ever been shot?"
After speaking, Ye Kang drew his bow, pulled back halfway, and shot out the piercing arrow!
The old demon Chi Ming's expression immediately changed, his entire face contorted with rage.
"You brat, how dare you show off your archery skills in front of me!"
He was furious.
What he hated most in his life was archery. The shadow of the past suddenly resurfaced in his mind, causing him to lose his mind.
Ye Kang knew, of course, that this guy had been shot, and shot badly, so it was intentional.
It's not just anger, it's humiliation.
The arrow shot out with all its might, instantly arriving in front of the old demon Chi Ming. He raised his hand and activated rings of protective true energy to block the arrow in front of him. The arrowhead collided with the force of the impact, and it actually pierced through several layers of true energy, heading straight for his brow!
"how come!"
The Crimson Demon was shocked; this was actually an arrow shot by an ordinary peak eighth-rank cultivator!
Its power even surpassed that of the arrows that Sky Eagle had shot back then!
how can that be!
He quickly circulated his true energy again, directly activating the blood pool behind him. Endless blood surged in, reinforcing his protective true energy, which allowed the arrow to stop steadily in front of him.
Even so, he was already greatly shocked, his expression turning extremely cold.
"With such archery skills, who are you, Sky Eagle?"
