Chapter 217: The Blood Demon Seeking Death
The moment Lu Xueqi sensed the black-clothed man, he also sensed Xiao Yicai's aura.
However, Lu Xueqi had concealed her aura extremely well, so the black-clothed man was unable to perceive her clearly.
Lu Xueqi glanced at the enormous city below and pondered for a moment.
Her hands formed one hand seal after another, as countless intricate seals continuously emerged from her fingertips.
Then, she suddenly pointed forward with a finger.
In an instant, densely packed formation patterns suddenly appeared around the entire city, enveloping it completely.
The expert arriving this time was extraordinarily powerful. Lu Xueqi was worried that when she fought him,
the battle might damage Heyang City and cause the deaths of innocent civilians.
Therefore, she temporarily established a defensive barrier capable of resisting that expert's attacks.
However, the defensive formation she had set up was only temporary and would not be able to withstand many attacks.
Nevertheless, with Lu Xueqi's strength, she should be able to deal with her opponent very quickly.
Just as Lu Xueqi waited quietly, the black-clothed man had already flown above Heyang City.
However, when he arrived above the city and saw Lu Xueqi standing in the sky, calmly watching his arrival from afar, he was momentarily stunned.
Previously, he had not sensed Lu Xueqi's presence at all, so seeing her now left him somewhat surprised.
However, recalling the information they had gathered—that the strongest person on this continent was merely at the Golden Core Realm—
he paid Lu Xueqi no attention whatsoever.
Furthermore, the moment he saw Lu Xueqi, a trace of amazement involuntarily appeared in his eyes as he muttered,
“I never expected such a barren continent to produce such a beauty. It seems I've struck quite the bargain.”
Upon hearing his words and seeing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner behind him, shrouded in black smoke, Lu Xueqi's expression immediately darkened. She coldly asked,
“So it was you who committed all those bloody massacres across the Divine Continent?”
After hearing Lu Xueqi's question, Li Yong merely sneered.
“So what if it was me?”
Lu Xueqi's face darkened as she said,
“I never expected someone could be so cruel, slaughtering innocent civilians at will. Aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution?”
After hearing her words, Li Yong let out another sneer.
“Heavenly retribution? There's no such thing in this world.
Only the strong devouring the weak is the eternal law!
The fact that these ants can help me complete my Hundred Thousand Souls Banner is their greatest honor!
If I ascend to immortality in the future, they'll even be able to ascend alongside me.
What could they possibly be dissatisfied about?
And you, little beauty, who exactly are you? How dare you try to stop me?”
As he spoke, he licked his crimson tongue, as though sizing up his prey.
After hearing his words, Lu Xueqi asked in a deep voice,
“Who exactly are you people? Where did you come from?”
Upon hearing this, Li Yong sneered again.
“Little beauty, you're already trying to find out about me? Don't tell me you're so eager to throw yourself into my arms?”
After saying that, he let out a sinister chuckle.
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi's expression became even colder as she shouted sternly,
“You're courting death!”
Lu Xueqi said nothing further.
She had originally intended to obtain information about their origins from this man's mouth.
However, since he refused to appreciate her leniency, she would simply capture him first and then perform a Soul Search.
She immediately pointed forward.
In an instant, a fireball radiating terrifying flames suddenly appeared.
Under Lu Xueqi's control, the fireball rapidly expanded, growing within moments into an enormous sphere several zhang in diameter, blazing with terrifying heat as it smashed toward the man.
At first, when the black-clothed man saw that Lu Xueqi had merely summoned a small fireball, he looked thoroughly disdainful.
However, as the fireball continued to grow larger and larger, his expression gradually became unsightly.
As it drew nearer, the terrifying heat even caused the tips of his hair to curl slightly.
From the enormous fireball, the black-clothed man sensed a fatal threat.
He knew that if he failed to withstand this attack, he would most likely suffer severe injuries today.
However, upon thinking of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner behind him, he could not help but sneer once again.
With a single point of his finger, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner instantly appeared before him.
Then, as he formed hand seals, black aura surged from the banner, transforming into a boundless mass of terrifying black mist that completely enveloped him.
At the same time, countless vengeful souls poured forth from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Under Li Yong's control, these vengeful souls fearlessly charged toward the fireball created by Lu Xueqi.
Lu Xueqi's expression darkened slightly, but the fireball she had launched did not slow down in the slightest. (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
Thunderous explosions rang out continuously as Lu Xueqi's fireball tore through the air, producing wave after wave of sonic booms.
Then, under the assault of Li Yong's countless vengeful souls, the fireball collided with them head-on.
The two terrifying forces met in an instant.
Under the terrifying heat, Li Yong's vengeful souls were instantly burned into nothingness.
Although Li Yong felt some heartache at the sight,
he still gritted his teeth and continuously released more vengeful souls from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in order to stop the enormous fireball.
Under the relentless assault of countless vengeful souls, Lu Xueqi's fireball gradually shrank.
By the time it reached Li Yong, it had been reduced to the size of a football.
Seeing this, Li Yong suddenly struck out with his palm, directly shattering Lu Xueqi's fireball.
He then looked at Lu Xueqi with a sneer.
“Little girl, was that little fireball just now meant to keep your future master warm? If that's the case, you'd be better off coming over personally. That way the two of us could have a good time together.”
After hearing Li Yong's filthy words, Lu Xueqi's expression became even colder.
Earlier, she had only intended to injure Li Yong with a single strike before capturing him alive for a Soul Search, so she had not used her full strength.
However, she had now already determined Li Yong's true capabilities.
Li Yong's own strength was only around the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
However, the so-called Ten Thousand Souls Banner behind him had already reached the Nascent Soul Grade in power.
Thus, under his control,
it was capable of unleashing combat power comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Even so, to the current Lu Xueqi,
he was still nothing more than an ant.
Lu Xueqi no longer wished to waste any more words with Li Yong.
Her figure flashed,
instantly disappearing from the sky.
Li Yong's expression changed drastically.
Just as he frantically searched for Lu Xueqi's whereabouts, he suddenly heard a cold, clear voice from behind him:
“Restrain!”
