Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Demon Rune Man
Upon hearing the scream, everyone’s hearts tightened slightly.
However, what they saw made all present utter a series of gasps, their pupils contracting continuously.
Too many, simply too many!
Countless blood magic creatures appeared abruptly from all directions, much like a beast tide.
The one who had screamed was a Cultivator unfortunate enough to be amidst the group of blood demons.
He had almost no chance to resist before being dismembered by the blood demons, his Primordial Spirit also becoming their meal.
Such a horrifying scene appeared so suddenly that even Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch paled slightly with fear in their eyes.
"Run!"
Someone suddenly shouted loudly.
Immediately, everyone saw a swift Escape Light separate from the group and fly towards the distant sky.
However, the light had not flown far when an invisible force suddenly dragged it back into the blood demon group!
"Ah!"
With a scream resounding again, Zhu Fei clearly saw that the one who attempted to escape yet met with misfortune first was none other than Cao Chen!
This truly confirmed the saying: don’t seek death and you won’t die.
Zhu Fei felt no ripples of emotion at Cao Chen’s death.
He glanced at Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch, then scanned everyone else before speaking solemnly:
"Everyone, stick close to me, and don’t leave the team at will."
Before anyone could understand Zhu Fei’s words, he had already darted out.
In the void, Zhu Fei pointed a finger, and with a "buzz," the Star Dream Moon Sword suddenly expanded, its sharp sword light spreading nearly a hundred meters.
Then, a vast wave of Divine Blue Netherworld Fire erupted from the tip of the Star Dream Moon Sword, like a raging ocean, sweeping across a large space.
Masses of pale blue flames soared in the sky, accompanied by thick, sharp sword lights. In just the blink of an eye, nearly hundreds of blood magic creatures turned to ash.
And this was only the beginning.
Following Zhu Fei, Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch were shocked to discover that where Zhu Fei’s Flame Sword Light passed, almost no blood demon was a match for him.
Large patches of red were evaporated, transforming into tantalizing Blood Evil Demon Crystals, which Zhu Fei directly collected into his storage ring.
In just over ten seconds, the sky that had been completely occupied by the blood demons became clear again.
Powerful, incredibly powerful!
Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch could not have imagined that Zhu Fei’s strength had reached such a level.
Everyone watched in awe, a feeling of reverence for Zhu Fei rising from their hearts.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, an extremely angry roar came from the original blood-colored passage.
They hadn’t noticed when a large man appeared, his body completely formed of black Demonic Qi, clad in black armor, adorned with two black horns, and a face engraved with strange black demon runes.
"What is this...?"
Zhu Fei’s pupils shrank as he felt a threat from the Demon Rune Man!
With Zhu Fei’s cultivation today, threats to him were few, if any.
Yet presently, this Demon Rune Man formed entirely of black Demonic Qi posed a great danger to him.
"Mr. Qiankun, Zhai Xing, quickly take everyone away and wipe out all blood demons still on Xuanhuang Continent. Leave this one to me."
Zhu Fei suddenly transmitted a message to Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch, surprising them.
Almost in unison, Zhai Xing Monarch and Elder Qiankun sensed something amiss.
From their understanding of Zhu Fei, he was far from selfless or anything akin.
Yet now, Zhu Fei was saying this, which only explained one thing: the current situation was so severe that even Zhu Fei had to be extraordinarily cautious.
Zhu Fei’s transmission to them likely aimed to avoid them being sacrificed by the Demon Rune Man and to preserve some Primordial Qi for Xuanhuang Continent.
What did this imply?
It meant that facing the Demon Rune Man, even Zhu Fei had no certainty of victory.
Regarding themselves, there was no need to think; approaching meant certain death.
Though reluctant to admit and accept the current reality,
facts are facts, and Zhu Fei would not easily deceive them in such matters.
With this thought, Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch’s expressions changed complexly.
Ultimately, Elder Qiankun and Zhai Xing Monarch promised Zhu Fei:
"Master Zhu, rest assured, we will do our utmost in the remaining tasks without letting you down."
"Good, since that’s the case, I’ll entrust everything to you for now."
Zhu Fei nodded lightly to the two, and then the Star Dream Moon Sword in his hand began to hum violently.
With a "clang," a gigantic sword light capable of piercing the sky roared straight towards the Demon Rune Man!
"Boom Boom Boom...!"
In an instant, the battle between Zhu Fei and the Demon Rune Man escalated into a fierce, white-hot stage.
The collapsing spaces, shattered voids, and terrifying Mana fluctuations spreading in all directions left Elder Qiankun and others feeling shocked.
Only at this moment did they realize how truly fearsome Zhu Fei’s adversary was.
If it were them, they would struggle to survive even one move from the enemy, let alone match them.
With such understanding, Zhai Xing Monarch and others dared not linger and rapidly fled backward.
"Demonic Spin, Gun Kill!"
Suddenly, a raspy shout came from the Demon Rune Man.
Soon a massive spear shadow full of Demonic Qi spun rapidly in the Demon Rune Man’s hand and, like a fleeting shadow, rushed towards Zhai Xing Monarch and the others!
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Zhu Fei coldly snorted abruptly.
Then a huge meteor-like star crashed towards the spinning black spear shadow.
With a "boom," the meteor clashed with the black spear shadow, causing a dazzling light column to rise that pierced the sky, producing black holes in the void!
