Chapter 378: Chapter 163: Massive Brawl! Chen Mo: Sect Master Burning Beauty, No Interjections! (8K)_4
However, at this moment, the blood aura in the air suddenly intensified. The swamp churned, and six more array platforms rose, forming a seven-pointed star pattern with the previous ones.
Red light shot out from the eye sockets of the skull above, weaving into a massive web that spread across the sky, trapping everyone within!
Ji Lianxing sensed the situation and immediately furrowed her brows.
"Even the Five Elements’ aura here has been sealed off; we can’t escape..."
"What on earth is this thing?!"
Fu Li sneered and said, "Even if you are stronger, can you be stronger than the grand array I’ve set with the essence blood of tens of thousands? Stop struggling and accept your fate!"
He sat cross-legged in the air, playing a skin drum with a strange rhythm:
"Flay the skin for a vessel, draw the marrow for paste, light the seven souls, burn incense for the three spirits..."
"Consume the lifespan of all beings, boil my relentless soul!"
Whoosh—
In an instant, the wind rose and clouds surged as the blood moon on the horizon emitted a dazzling red light.
As the all-encompassing blood net descended, everyone could clearly feel the vitality and True Yuan in their bodies rapidly draining away!
Compared to the previous Devouring Element Blood Melting Array, the power of this grand array was incomparable!
If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before they were refined into a pool of blood!
Rumble—
Ji Lianxing and Ling Ningzhi couldn’t afford to continue fighting, constantly channeling Daoist Skill strikes against the blood net, yet it only accelerated the consumption of Primordial Qi without having any effect!
Fu Li was already at the Grandmaster Realm, and with everything laid out in advance, even someone as strong as Ji Lianxing was at a loss for what to do under the suppression of the Erosion Light Hourglass and the essence blood of thousands!
"Fu Li, we had an agreement."
"I’ve already brought you the person, you promised to lend the treasure to me..."
Bai Lingchuan looked up at him and said loudly.
Fu Li nodded slightly and said, "Rest assured, Households Commander Bai, I am always true to my word, and I will do what I promised."
Bai Lingchuan showed a hint of joy upon hearing this.
Just now, he saw Fu Li "come back to life" with his own eyes and knew how powerful this Magical Treasure was. As long as he could use this item, he would certainly be able to rebuild his foundation!
"Alright, let me out quickly then."
"Oh, there’s no need for that."
"?"
Bai Lingchuan was stunned.
Fu Li smiled and said, "I only said I would lend you the Magical Treasure, not that I guarantee you will live... When you are refined into Blood Food and become a part of me, when I use it, isn’t that equivalent to you using it?"
On hearing this, Bai Lingchuan realized he had been tricked, his teeth chattering with fury, and he shouted hoarsely, "Fu Li, how dare you deceive me..."
"Noisy."
Fu Li was somewhat displeased.
He started beating the Human Skin Drum, and a beam of red light from the blood moon fell upon Bai Lingchuan.
After taking the Blood Burning Pill, he was already at the brink of exhaustion. Under the pressure of the blood light, his vitality quickly depleted.
His flesh sagged, his bones cracked, and his flesh and blood turned into blue smoke and dissipated!
In an instant, he was refined into a dark red Blood Pearl!
Death without a trace!
"Old thing, your Qi-Blood is already so depleted, only slightly stronger than a mortal, truly useless." Fu Li shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Seeing Bai Lingchuan’s fate, everyone’s faces turned pale, continuously channeling True Yuan to resist the blood net.
But all they could do was slightly delay its tightening. Among the Sky Scale Guard’s Assistant Officers, some with weaker cultivation were already bleeding from their seven orifices, evidently about to fall.
"I’m really down on my luck!"
Ji Lianxing’s face was extremely ugly.
She originally intended to fish in troubled waters, but ended up being played and fell into this situation!
At this moment, Yu Hongyin spoke up, "The array’s core is the Erosion Light Hourglass; the only way to break the array is to pass through the blood net and forcibly twist the Gnomon Needle..."
"Easy for you to say, why don’t you do it?" Ji Lianxing rolled her eyes at her and snapped, "That blood net is immune to Magic, obliterating the Five Elements. Once the physical body touches it, the vitality will be swiftly drained, and anyone trying to pass through will first be turned into a Blood Pearl!"
"I’m just providing an idea. We’re all in this together; what’s the use of lashing out at me?" Yu Hongyin frowned and said.
Ji Lianxing crossed her arms and coldly said, "Why are you acting innocent? I’ve already figured it out, wouldn’t we be in this situation if it weren’t for your trust in that Bai?"
Yu Hongyin was at a loss for words for a moment.
The other was right; this situation indeed started because of the Netherworld Sect... She brought this upon herself, but harmed these Sky Scale Guard’s Assistant Officers as a result...
Yu Hongyin remained silent for a moment, then nodded, "Fine, I’ll try."
"Holy Daughter!" Qiao Tong hurriedly stopped her, exclaiming, "Don’t be impulsive, as long as we hold out until sect support arrives, there will still be a chance! Even if we try to break the array, it should be me!"
"Alright, enough with the sisterly act, you two’s cultivation will be drained in two breaths, don’t dream of breaking the array..."
Ji Lianxing glanced at Ling Ningzhi and said, "That Daoist Nun, weren’t you not afraid of death? Why don’t you give it a try?"
Ling Ningzhi couldn’t be bothered to respond, looking at Chen Mo, and asking, "What should we do?"
In this crisis, she instinctively placed her hope on Chen Mo.
When the grand array was activated, Chen Mo had already moved out of the control of the Erosion Light Hourglass, his actions unrestricted, and was silently observing the array’s flaws with his Golden Eyes of Truth.
"Yu Hongyin is right; there’s indeed no core point, we can only forcibly break the net..."
"The blood net is essentially composed of essence blood. For me, it might be an opportunity..."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Mo said, "Guard me."
With that, he sat cross-legged as if meditating in cultivation.
"At this critical moment, do you still think you can break through at the last moment? Even if you succeed, you’d only reach the Fourth-Level Divine Sea Stage, which wouldn’t change the situation." Ji Lianxing shook her head, thinking Chen Mo was too naive.
