Chapter 202: Killing the Great Khan of the Mongol-Yuan Empire and the Sudden Mutation
As the number of deaths below continued to rise, a vast amount of Spiritual Power gradually began to gather.
It was as though Lu Xueqi had discovered something. Her attention instantly fell upon Ogedei, who was hiding within the Mongol-Yuan Army.
Seeing this, she immediately sent a Voice Transmission to Xiong Ba below.
“Guild Leader Xiong, I've found the Great Khan of the Mongol-Yuan Army. Go and capture him.”
After hearing Lu Xueqi's words, Xiong Ba naturally nodded and replied, “Alright!”
Then, Lu Xueqi transmitted Ogedei's location and appearance to Xiong Ba.
After learning this, Xiong Ba did not hesitate. His figure instantly moved, transforming into a phantom as he rushed toward Ogedei's location.
Along the way, whenever Mongol-Yuan soldiers attempted to block him, every palm strike and every move he unleashed slaughtered large numbers of them.
Meanwhile, Ogedei, who was hiding in the shadows, was greatly alarmed as he watched Xiong Ba's movements.
He knew that his location had most likely been exposed and immediately retreated rapidly toward the rear.
At the same time, he seemed to be communicating with some unknown existence within his mind.
As he retreated, countless streams of Blood Energy began to surge forth from the earth below.
The Blood Energy transformed into terrifying blood-colored giants several Zhang tall, charging toward Xiong Ba.
Upon seeing these blood-colored giants, Xiong Ba's expression also changed drastically.
He could sense an extremely powerful force emanating from them, one that was actually capable of posing a slight threat to him.
However, Xiong Ba showed no fear and sneered,
“You think these blood-colored giants alone can stop me?”
At this moment, Xiong Ba had already spotted Ogedei hiding behind the Mongol-Yuan Army. His eyes flashed with ridicule, as though Ogedei were nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, while these blood beast giants were not worth his attention at all.
As the blood beast giants lunged toward him, Xiong Ba's figure moved continuously around them like a gentle breeze before unleashing one terrifying attack after another.
Although these blood-colored giants possessed enormous bodies and tremendous strength, with every move capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, and every strike slaughtering large numbers of Mongol-Yuan soldiers too slow to escape,
they found it difficult to inflict much harm upon the exceptionally agile Xiong Ba.
While darting through the battlefield, Xiong Ba continuously unleashed the Wind God Leg Technique, each strike landing upon the blood-colored giants and blasting away large portions of their bodies.
However, to Xiong Ba's surprise, the blood-colored giants seemed to possess an endless supply of energy. The shattered portions of their bodies condensed once more and rapidly returned to normal.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi's brows furrowed slightly, and she prepared to make her move.
She fixed her gaze upon Ogedei's location and stepped forward.
In an instant, her figure passed through the Void.
When she reappeared, she was already standing behind Ogedei.
Without Ogedei noticing in the slightest, Lu Xueqi reached out and seized his neck.
Only then did Ogedei notice something behind him.
Feeling the suffocating pressure around his neck, terror filled his heart.
His limbs flailed wildly in midair as he desperately struggled to escape, but Lu Xueqi gave him no opportunity whatsoever.
She merely tightened her right hand slightly.
With a crisp “Crack,” Ogedei's neck was crushed directly in her grasp.
After Ogedei died, Lu Xueqi had originally thought the blood-colored giants would cease their attacks.
Instead, she discovered that they showed not the slightest change.
At the same time, countless blood threads suddenly burst forth from Ogedei's corpse in her grasp, coiling toward her right hand.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi was slightly startled.
She immediately swung her arm violently, hurling Ogedei's corpse away.
With a loud “Bang,” Ogedei's body crashed heavily onto the ground.
Just as Lu Xueqi believed that killing Ogedei would cause the blood-colored giants to stop attacking, she discovered that they remained completely unaffected.
The blood-colored giants continued attacking Xiong Ba, Xiaolongnü, and the others without pause.
Lu Xueqi froze slightly before looking toward Ogedei's corpse.
She saw that the corpse had become wrapped in countless blood threads and was slowly rising into the air, transforming into an immensely terrifying blood-colored cocoon.
At the same time, Blood Energy gushed forth from the earth, outlining a vast sea of blood between the heavens and the ground, layer upon layer surrounding the blood-colored cocoon as endless streams of Blood Energy poured into it.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.
She had never expected that Ogedei's death would still trigger such a mutation.
Then she let out a cold laugh.
“A centipede dies but never stiffens. Do you really think you can escape death with such tricks?”
As soon as her words fell, Lu Xueqi flicked a finger.
A terrifying strand of golden lightning instantly condensed at her fingertip.
The lightning surged wildly and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a golden sphere radiating an Aura of Annihilation.
Lu Xueqi gave a soft shout.
“Go!”
Like a streak of flowing light, the sphere shot directly toward Ogedei's cocoon.
By now, Ogedei, who had transformed into the cocoon, seemed to still possess consciousness.
Before the golden sphere could reach him, Blood Energy around him surged frantically, condensing into a blood-colored energy barrier that enveloped him protectively.
The golden sphere collided violently with the blood-colored barrier.
With a tremendous “Boom,” dazzling light erupted from the point of impact, accompanied by endless sizzling sounds.
The sphere of lightning unleashed terrifying power, relentlessly bombarding the blood-colored barrier.
Yet the barrier proved astonishingly resilient.
Although it consumed an enormous amount of Blood Energy, it was continuously replenished with fresh power, remaining as immovable as a mountain.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi frowned once more as she stared at the blood-colored barrier and the blood-colored cocoon before coldly shouting,
“Explode!”
In an instant, the sphere of lightning locked in stalemate with the barrier erupted with brilliant golden radiance before exploding violently amid a thunderous roar.
The terrifying power crashed against the blood-colored barrier like tidal waves.
Countless strands of Lightning Power spread outward in every direction as continuous “Crack! Crack!” sounds rang through the air.
Everything within a hundred-meter radius was engulfed by the Lightning Power and annihilated.
Lu Xueqi gazed toward the center of the lightning, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes.
With her powerful Spiritual Power, she discovered that the blood-colored barrier had actually withstood the Lightning Power without being shattered.
This truly exceeded her expectations.
It seemed she had underestimated the blood-colored barrier.
When the lightning finally dissipated, Lu Xueqi indeed discovered that the blood-colored energy barrier remained intact.
Although the terrifying Blood Energy surrounding the blood-colored cocoon had been worn down considerably, leaving behind only a thin layer, the blood-colored barrier remained as sturdy as ever.
Just as Lu Xueqi was feeling surprised, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from within the blood-colored cocoon.
“Heh heh heh... Woman, although your strength is formidable, you're still far from capable of breaking through my blood-colored barrier!
I don't know where you all came from, but once This King completes my transformation, I'll make every one of you die!”
The voice, as shrill as the cry of a night owl, instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield.
The Mongol-Yuan Army, which had originally begun retreating after Ogedei's death, immediately had their eyes become dazed after hearing the voice.
In the next instant, their eyes turned blood-red, as though they had been controlled by some mysterious force.
