Chapter 1104 - 1101: Life and Death in an Instant, Divine Refining Body

Screech!

From the sky above, a piercing and chilling cry suddenly resonated.

Hmm?

Upon hearing the sound, Luo Feng’s gaze sharpened, and he stretched out his hand to stop Yue Haitang, raising his head to look towards the sky ahead, "Wait."

The voice carried extremely strong Evil Qi, causing a chill to rise from the bottom of his heart.

"Such strong Evil Qi, this is..."

Yue Haitang’s perception was also highly acute; she raised her head and squinted slightly.

In the sky, a gigantic shadow broke through the atmosphere, under the glow of the splendid evening sky, one could see the huge shadow is a monster bird with four pairs of wings.

The monster bird’s entire body was composed of bones, devoid of flesh, enveloped in a bizarre blood-red aura, wings expanding up to a hundred meters, a single horn atop its head, its eyes blazing with blood-red intensity, hiding a ferocious, ruthless spirit.

On the back of the monster bird, a figure wearing a black robe could be faintly seen.

"This is..."

Upon seeing the monster bird, Yue Haitang frowned, fine sweat beading on her smooth forehead, as if pondering over something.

Just then, the blood-red gleam in the unicorn monster bird’s eyes suddenly shot in their direction, exploding in brightness, as brilliant as a torch.

"Careful!"

Luo Feng frowned, grabbing Yue Haitang, his figure unfolded, speed soaring to its limit, transforming into a stream of light retreating backwards, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

The next moment!

The unicorn monster bird suddenly flapped its wings.

Whoosh!

Immediately, a storm arose, two blood-colored streaks shot forth, forming into countless blood-colored light blades, each over a dozen meters long, enveloping the space where Luo Feng and Yue Haitang had just been.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom...

The ground trembled, dust rose to the sky, blood-colored light blades raged like a storm, covering a kilometer radius, Luo Feng and Yue Haitang’s afterimages constantly shattered.

Luo Feng’s sharp gaze drove his soul power to its limit, taking Yue Haitang along, his body transformed into a whirlwind, skimming across the ground, weaving through the light blades, narrowly escaping the range of their coverage.

He took a deep breath upon looking up.

In the kilometer radius ahead, the sandland was marred by numerous slash marks, each over a dozen meters long, with not a trace of intact ground visible, shocking to behold.

Oh!

The black-robed elder atop the unicorn monster bird gazed at Luo Feng, the blood-red gleam in his eyes flickering eerily.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

The sound of cutting wind rose, and three Demon Generals had already caught up, stopping before the black-robed elder.

"Corpse Ghost Taoist."

Respectfully, three Blood Demon Generals with True Yuan Realm cultivation greeted the black-robed elder.

One of them pointed at Luo Feng, saying coldly:

"Sir, this is the disciple of Linglong Hall, Luo Feng. Earlier, he killed the Black Wind Demon General."

"Oh!"

The blood-red gleam in Corpse Ghost Taoist’s eyes flashed slightly.

"Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, he is Corpse Ghost Taoist..."

Recalling who it was, Yue Haitang’s lips pursed tight, her bright eyes revealing endless fear, her body trembling lightly and uncontrollably.

"Haitang, who is he?"

Luo Feng’s expression was more serious than ever.

Unable to discern the newcomer’s cultivation, but judging by the aura, this mysteriously looking black-robed elder’s cultivation was not beneath that of the Hall Master of Business Alliance Hall in Big Market City, Red Blood Elder, a formidable being close to the Yuan Sea Realm.

Upon hearing Luo Feng’s calm voice, Yue Haitang’s mind settled slightly, glancing fearfully at Corpse Ghost Taoist, she explained:

"He is Corpse Ghost Taoist, ranked seventy-second among the one hundred and eight Blood Demon Generals. According to my father, the Blood Poison Demonic General is his disciple. His cultivation is infinitely close to the Yuan Sea Realm, and the bone bird beneath him is called the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, a demon cultivated through a secret technique involving bone refining by Corpse Ghost Taoist, brutal and bloodthirsty, its strength equivalent to a Martial Artist at the early True Yuan Realm."

After saying this in one breath, Yue Haitang gently bite her lips, laughing sadly:

"I never expected Corpse Ghost Taoist to appear here. Luo Feng, it seems we won’t be leaving the Red Flame Desert alive today."

Blood Poison Demonic General’s mentor...

Luo Feng frowned deeply, pondered briefly, then held Yue Haitang’s shoulder, speaking:

"Haitang, this matter arose because of me, and they are targeting me. I will attract their attention, and you take advantage of the chaos to leave."

"You..."

Meeting Luo Feng’s eyes, Yue Haitang’s brows quivered lightly.

"No need to say more, I know what I’m doing. The opponent is close to the Yuan Sea Realm, you staying here will not help me and will be a burden instead."

Luo Feng’s tone was decisively grim, then he smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, you know my Qinggong skills. After you leave, I will find an opportunity to escape."

Yue Haitang was silent; Luo Feng’s Qinggong skills were indeed outstanding, even invincible at the same level.

But, their opponent was the notorious Corpse Ghost Taoist, and as far as she knew, the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon was a demon particularly adept at flying, to imagine leaving quietly with Qinggong would be akin to daydreaming.

"Luo Feng..."

Gently biting her lips, Yue Haitang gazed at Luo Feng, her eyes suddenly softened, as the bright pupils reflected the evening glow, radiating a mysterious allure, she spoke slowly: "There’s something I’ve been keeping from you."

"Whatever it is, we can talk about it later. You must leave now."

"No!"

Yue Haitang’s gaze was exceedingly firm, she took hold of Luo Feng, shaking her head.

She knew if she didn’t speak now, there might not be a chance again, her bright eyes fixed on Luo Feng, she began: "I..."

Boom!

At that moment, Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly, Yuan Qi fluctuated, and he palm-struck Yue Haitang away.

Crash!

Almost simultaneously, a gigantic shadow descended from the sky, with a thunderous sound, the ground sank three feet, sand scattered like a waterfall, soaring skywards, obscuring the heavens.

Chest simmering with turbulent energy, Luo Feng looked up to see a shadow as vast as a mountain, and eyes exuding a chilling blood-red aura.

"Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon!"

Luo Feng’s heart was filled with dread; the mere proximity of this blow bore such power, facing it directly would be unimaginable in terror.

Corpse Ghost Taoist stood in the void, gazing at Luo Feng, the ghostly fire in his eyes slightly flickering, coldly speaking:

Sure, here is the translated text:

"Daring to kill the beloved disciple of the Corpse Ghost Taoist, Luo Feng, I will refine you into a Blood Corpse, making you never reincarnate through eternity!"

Screech!

With a wave of Corpse Ghost Taoist’s hand, the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon let out a piercing screech, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, then transforming into a blood-colored stream of light, diving down, with a pair of massive blood-colored claws looming towards Luo Feng.

Slash!

The speed of the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon was unbelievably fast, creating transparent ripples in the air wherever it passed, arriving above Luo Feng’s head in the blink of an eye.

"So fast!"

Luo Feng wanted to use Sky Cloud Step to evade, but found it impossible to escape.

"Thirty percent release!"

Narrowing his eyes, Luo Feng pushed the Demon Form Technique to its limits, unleashing a massive saber Qi with a slash.

Hiss!

The saber Qi resisted for a moment before being effortlessly torn apart by the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, its gigantic blood claws seemingly about to pierce and shred Luo Feng.

"Not good!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Luo Feng’s Grand Momentum burst forth automatically, with his Spiral Demonic Qi surging, matching the ferocity of the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon.

Buzz!

Vaguely, Luo Feng felt a strange restlessness rising within him, with a furious blaze erupting from the nine-tail whirlwinds in his Dantian, simultaneously, his flaming fox tails behind him increased from three to four.

Under immense pressure, he unexpectedly broke through amidst combat, stepping into the second level of the Demon Form Technique!

At this moment, the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon’s claws descended upon Luo Feng’s head.

"Slash!"

Luo Feng shouted fiercely, slashing out.

Clang!

The clash between saber and claw sounded like a great hammer shaking a mountain, with the massive saber Qi holding for a moment before collapsing with a bang.

Thud!

Luo Feng spat out a mouthful of blood arrows, his feet sinking deep into the ground.

"Such terrifying power, I couldn’t expect that my breakthrough to the second level of the Demon Form Technique would still be unable to withstand it..."

Feeling the immense pressure transmitted from the blade, Luo Feng felt heavy-hearted.

"Huh, this Luo Feng exhibits such strong demon Qi, could he be a member of the Demon Race from the East Ridge Demon Region?"

In the sky, a Blood Demon General stared at the four flaming fox tails behind Luo Feng with a look of surprise.

Corpse Ghost Taoist scrutinized Luo Feng, suppressed by the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, slightly shaking his head, "If he were a four-tailed fox demon among the Twelve Heavenly Demons, he should be able to easily slay the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon. He must have cultivated some sort of secret technique..."

While speaking, Corpse Ghost Taoist’s eyes sparkled with bloodlight, extending a hand to seize a sword Qi refined to the extreme.

"Oh?"

Looking at the sword Qi vibrating incessantly in his hand, Corpse Ghost Taoist’s eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

"Release him now!"

Yue Haitang stood holding his sword, with a cold gaze, expressionlessly observing Corpse Ghost Taoist.

Corpse Ghost Taoist glanced at Yue Haitang, the ghostly flames in his eyes flickering, he clenched his fingers, and with a bang, the sword Qi in his hand dissipated, looking at Yue Haitang, he laughed oddly:

"He’s undoubtedly doomed today, if you flee now, perhaps a glimmer of hope for survival remains."

"Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword!"

A cold voice rang out, as Yue Haitang’s precious sword disappeared into the void.

Slash!

An extremely refined transparent sword gleam appeared instantly in front of Corpse Ghost Taoist, emitting endless sharpness.

Corpse Ghost Taoist pointed a finger in mid-air, blocking a blood glow in front of the sword Qi.

In that instant, the sword Qi vanished, reappearing behind the Corpse Ghost Taoist the next moment, piercing downward.

Corpse Ghost Taoist didn’t even look, bloodlight surged from his body, giving rise to an eerie scene, with a bone claw growing from his nape, crushing the sword Qi in one strike.

"How could this be..."

Yue Haitang gazed at Corpse Ghost Taoist, shock in his eyes, a hint of crimson blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He had driven the Sword Heart Heaven Jade’s sword intent, putting great strain on his body, previously able to use the Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword twice at most, first was this third attempt.

The bone claw vanished, Corpse Ghost Taoist looked at Yue Haitang, and said menacingly: "Hehe... I won’t kill you now, you’ll just stay here, watch as Luo Feng steps towards destruction step by step."

"Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword!"

Yue Haitang’s face turned cold, and gritting his teeth, he slashed once more.

Yet again, this sword gleam was effortlessly crushed by Corpse Ghost Taoist.

"The Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword from the Sword Tomb is indeed a supreme skill, it’s said that when this sword technique is cultivated to its peak, the speed of sword Qi can reach a thousand times the speed of sound. With one sword strike, the world changes color, ghosts and gods vanish. If your Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword could reach a hundred times the speed of sound, I might fear it. Unfortunately, your Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword is less than ten times the speed of sound, just barely grazed the surface..."

Corpse Ghost Taoist spoke eloquently, during which his gaze fell toward the direction where Luo Feng was located, casually saying:

"Alright, it’s time to end this."

Bang!

With his words concluded, the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon’s ferocity surged, its wings flapping, a claw fiercely slammed onto the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber.

Boom!

Luo Feng’s body sank, a powerful shockwave spread out centered around him, causing a sand layer spanning several hundred meters to collapse, exposing a semi-circular pit several meters deep.

Thud!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the skin on Luo Feng’s arms began to ooze fine streams of blood.

"Could it be that my fate is to perish here?"

Feeling the immense pressure from the saber, Luo Feng’s gaze turned fierce, a strong unwillingness rose within him.

There were still many things he hadn’t done, this shouldn’t be his final resting place.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away.

Linglong Hall, East Spirit Peak, Water Cloud Hall.

Deep in the hall, Shui Qingcheng, who was meditating, suddenly frowned and opened her eyes, with bright Seven-Colored Mysterious Light emitting from her pupils, resembling a boundless, magnificent star sea in the night sky.
