Chapter 41 - Bloodbath City
Bloody Mountain, before a gorge.
Ten plus cultivators crowded around them, and the skinny middle aged man in the lead suggested. “Fellow Daoists, please wait. There’s an entire pack of over 100 baleful beasts concealed within this Bloodbath Gorge. How about we team up to hunt them and share the baleful pearls we obtain?”
Du Qingxi didn’t have any intention of stopping as she said coldly, “I’m sorry, we still have matters to attend to.”
“Haha, Miss, don’t refuse so quickly. What matters could be more important than earning money? After all, with our strength, hunting that pack of baleful beasts is nothing difficult. Fellow Daoists, all of you seem heroic and extraordinary. If you join us, you’ll surely be able to obtain considerable returns.” The skinny middle aged man continued to guide them patiently.
Pity couldn’t help but arise within Chen Xi’s heart as he gazed at the cultivators that crowded over.
Du Qingxi didn’t say anything else; Duanmu Ze who wore white clothes and had a smile on his face walked forward, then beamed as he said, “Everyone, unfortunately, I have to tell all of you that you’ve chosen the wrong target to raid this time.”
“Bah! What the hell? Comply or die!” The skinny middle aged man’s face went grim, then he sneered as he snapped his fingers. The expression of those cultivators that had crowded over all suddenly went vicious and their eyes emitted a fierce light.
“I’ll give all of you one last chance, hand over all your baleful pearls and scram! Right, leave that woman, she’s just nice for us to vent some steam.” The skinny middle aged man let out a strange laugh as he gave the last ultimatum.
“You actually dare insult Qingxi? Truly courting death!” Duanmu Ze’s face went cold when he saw the skinny middle aged man actually coveting Du Qingxi, and a rainbow colored sword appeared out of thin air within his hand.
Om!
The Sevenstar Rainbow Sword that contained oppressive spirit energy emitted an unparalleled fierce aura, and it lightly vibrated in Duanmu Ze’s hand; it seemed to desperately want to fly out and drink the blood of its enemies.
In an instant, the disposition of Duanmu Ze who held a sword changed. The slight smile at the corners of his mouth transformed into a wisp of an icy cold sneer, and he seemed to become an unsheathed sharp sword that leaped forward!
“Go! Let’s kill this kid first!” The pupils of the skinny middle aged man constricted when he felt that change in Duanmu Ze’s aura, and he knew he’d encountered a formidable foe. He didn’t dare hesitate and shouted out explosively, then he held his dual sabers in his hands to whip out balls of sword ripples that enveloped right towards Duanmu Ze’s head.
“Kill!” The other cultivators brandished their weapons as well and crowded over towards Duanmu Ze.
When faced with such a situation, Du Qingxi’s expression was calm and Song Lin looked dazed and sleepy. Chen Xi instead gazed at those raiding cultivators with pity.
Aren’t these kids companions? They actually allowed him to give away his life alone? The skinny middle aged man glanced over at them with the corners of his vision, and when he saw Du Qingxi and the others looking on unconcerned, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
“Alkaid!” The moment when the skinny middle aged man was briefly dazed, a low chant abruptly sounded within his ears. When he recovered from his shock, he saw 100,000 unparalleled fierce sword lights had enveloped his surroundings and billowing baleful qi assaulted his face.
