Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Sudden Shift in Circumstances
As for Cao Chen, Zhu Fei was actually already somewhat impatient with him.
Before, for the sake of the bigger picture and everyone involved, even if he felt a bit unpleasant, he hadn’t truly acted out.
However, now with Cao Chen repeatedly targeting him, not to mention Zhu Fei’s naturally fiery temperament, even a more patient person would likely be unable to endure.
"You...!"
Cao Chen obviously didn’t expect Zhu Fei to turn against him face to face, and upon hearing this, his face immediately flushed red, his eyes filled with a look of resentment.
But Zhu Fei didn’t care about any of this and couldn’t help but sneer again: "Why? Does Sect Master Cao think I’m wrong, or do you have some grievances in your heart?"
Zhu Fei had already decided that if Cao Chen claimed he was dissatisfied or accused him again, Zhu Fei would immediately take action.
What a joke, Zhu Fei was not a nice person, and patience was not part of his style either.
If Cao Chen was truly so oblivious, insisting on opposing him, then Zhu Fei wouldn’t mind sending him directly to meet the Pavilion Master of the Sky Sea Pavilion.
As if sensing that trace of killing intent deep in Zhu Fei’s eyes, after being ’pressed’ by Zhu Fei, Cao Chen not only didn’t say another word but also turned his head to the side, showing a posture of not wanting to argue.
Seeing this, Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch exchanged a glance and immediately stepped forward to change the subject:
"Master Zhu, according to your second method, what should we do to minimize the damage here?"
By saying this, Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch had already made clear their stance, showing no significant objection to the plan Zhu Fei proposed earlier.
Everyone present was not ’stupid’ and obviously knew what choice to make in such a situation.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze, except for Cao Chen, was involuntarily focused on Zhu Fei.
This scene made Cao Chen’s heart bleed, his face felt as though it had been fiercely slapped and was painfully hot.
He knew that his attempt to provoke and unite everyone against Zhu Fei had utterly failed.
However, in Zhu Fei’s heart, the situation wasn’t as optimistic as one might think.
Because, according to his own thoughts, he didn’t want to implement the second method.
But he also knew that human nature, at the end of the day, is selfish.
Before the problem becomes severely serious, expecting everyone to take risks seemed a very naive notion, so Zhu Fei could only silently sigh in his heart.
However, just when Zhu Fei was about to speak again, the sky above everyone suddenly darkened.
Then, massive swathes of crimson spread instantly miles and miles wide.
An extremely thick, extremely bloody, extremely evil aura suddenly descended upon this world!
"Not good! That is...?"
Someone suddenly exclaimed.
As everyone looked around, their pupils involuntarily contracted.
They saw at the blood-colored path, massive amounts of black Demonic Qi surging out from the vortex.
Before everyone could react, nearly dozens of Blood Demons rushed out from within.
These Blood Demons, upon making contact with the emerging black Demonic Qi, each of their auras began to skyrocket.
Terrifying fluctuations, focusing on these Blood Demons, began to spread in all directions.
"Sigh—"
Zhu Fei let out a long sigh.
He knew that this situation had really gotten out of hand.
Judging from the current situation, the area covered by the Central Sky Wilderness was obviously several times larger than before.
Trying to solve the matter of the Central Sky Wilderness with his previously mentioned second method was clearly impossible.
Not to mention the large-scale boundary stripping, relying on even the Great Success Earth Immortals among them, whether they could truly accomplish it, even if possible, no one would dare do it now.
Because there’d be only one consequence, and that is completely damaging the foundation of the Xuanhuang Continent.
By then, let alone ascending, whether they could continue to cultivate smoothly on the Xuanhuang Continent would likely be a very serious issue.
Moreover, besides the previously appeared black Demonic Qi, there were now so many high-level Blood Demons present before them.
Facing so many Blood Demons, further empowered by black Demonic Qi, they now had only one option, and that was to fight!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
In an instant, Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch were the first to strike.
Without any wasted words, upon recognizing the situation, they immediately launched a fierce assault on the empowered Blood Demons!
In no time, Divine Skills and Mana raged, engaging other Great Success Earth Immortals as they too joined this life-or-death battle.
Watching the sudden eruption of battle in the sky, Zhu Fei finally raised his hand and lightly pointed to the center of his forehead, abruptly uttering four words, "Teleportation!"
"Buzz—"
As Zhu Fei’s words fell, his Skyfire Avatar suddenly burst into flames.
A pale blue flame roiled within its core.
In no time, amid the roiling pale blue flame, a new figure leaped out.
Zhu Fei’s true self had finally fully descended at this moment!
As soon as Zhu Fei’s true self arrived, an extremely potent mana storm violently swept across the entire battlefield.
Two Blood Demon Kings attempting to ambush Elder Qiankun from behind suddenly sensed an intense threat and abruptly turned their heads.
Immediately, a dazzling sword light rapidly enlarged in their pupils.
With a "puff," the sword light swiftly sliced through the heads of the two Blood Demon Kings, directly annihilating them in the void!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"
Yet that’s not all, the Star Dream Moon Sword in Zhu Fei’s hand suddenly flew out from his palm, weaving back and forth among the Blood Demons.
Wherever it passed, no Blood Demon could withstand it, either directly beheaded by it or shredded into a mist of blood by its sword light.
In just a brief moment, the Blood Demons that died under the Star Dream Moon Sword already numbered more than seven or eight.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present, including Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch, couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.
They knew Zhu Fei’s strength was formidable, but no matter how strong, it was always hearsay, and they hadn’t truly seen Zhu Fei in action.
Even in their hearts, Zhu Fei’s strength was merely placed on the same level as theirs.
But now it seemed their original thoughts were clearly mistaken.
Not only mistaken, but gravely so!
Such strength, compared to theirs, was vastly superior, not even on the same level.
Thinking of this, when they looked at Zhu Fei, there was an involuntary hint of reverence in their eyes.
"Ah!"
However, at this moment, a sudden scream echoed from somewhere among them!
