Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

If the opponent turns and flees the moment they see her, they might be able to cling to life a little longer.

The Blood River surged with huge waves, Blood Crows swooped down rapidly, and Ji An at that moment looked like a small reef, seemingly about to be swallowed by the torrent.

The next instant, a fierce phoenix cry echoed through the clouds, everything nearby seemed to stall for a moment.

The Earth-Departing Flame Banner transformed into a fiery torrent and collided head-on with the Blood River.

This was Ji An’s first move; on the other side, he pushed the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword, channeling magical power into it.

A pale golden radiance dazzled like the sun, countless small flying swords ascended against the current like dense raindrops, synchronizing with the movements of the Spiritual Artifact.

A sharp and lethal aura instantly spread, a soul-freezing silence enveloped this void.

The Blood River and the fiery torrent collided head-on, a booming sound exploded, like a waterfall crashing onto rock.

Flowing flames scattered, blood flowers splashed, the momentum of the Blood River was immediately halted, steam filled the air with a nauseating stench.

The radiance of the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword Formation composed of Gold Element Spiritual Qi gradually dissipated, Blood Crows scattered, turning into clusters of blood rain, then burned into ash in the boiling flames.

’How is this possible!’

Yun Nianrong felt the Yin Souls within the Blood Crows rapidly weakening, continuously collapsing.

Normally, magic techniques shouldn’t cause such immense damage to Yin Souls.

Now the Blood River was endlessly boiling, Blood Crows were collapsing, her losses were significant, at least half a year’s accumulation destroyed in an instant.

She gathered the Blood River, a humanoid blood shadow emerged in the air.

Sensing the weight of the Blood River at this moment, Yun Nianrong felt even more furious.

Just the impact earlier cost her a tenth; since her rebirth, she hadn’t suffered such a loss.

Today, no matter what, she must kill this enemy to compensate for her losses.

The Earth-Departing Flame Banner flew back, having depleted nearly half of its stored magical power earlier, urgently needing replenishment.

Ji An flew upward on the clouds, simultaneously injecting magical power into the Spiritual Artifact.

The previous battle had given him great confidence, the enemy’s attack was imposing, but its actual effect wasn’t as strong as he’d anticipated.

After a series of attacks, the enemy hadn’t even touched him.

Although he hadn’t hit the enemy’s entity either, it was clear the opponent had suffered more.

Demon Cultivators are known for manipulating Yin Souls and bones; the enemy before him was quite unconventional, using the Blood River for attacks.

If he could boil the Blood River dry, the opponent’s methods would naturally be ineffective.

A giant blood human phantom roared, numerous blood pythons extending several yards from its back surrounded Ji An from all directions, quickly catching up to him,

A massive amount of black mist escaped from the blood pythons’ bodies, spreading slowly yet swiftly, the sky turned dark in an instant.

Yun Nianrong changed her strategy, the enemy’s attacks were forceful; she chose to avoid its edge, breaking into pieces.

The Blood River contained blood poison, if the opponent was touched by a single drop, they would be harmed.

Blood poison quickly seeps into the skin, merging with the opponent’s blood, spreading throughout the body with the flow.

Soon it would affect the enemy’s state, reducing their resistance.

The black mist could obstruct the opponent’s vision, making them lose judgment, but she could see through it, gaining the upper hand during the attack.

Yun Nianrong quickly chanted incantations, her hands changed Dharma Seals, a giant white bone hand as big as a house fiercely grasped at the target, if caught, the opponent’s flesh and bones would be crushed into a ball.

After the attack was unleashed, she spun, once more transforming into the Blood River, surging high against the sky.

With the attack triad, she concealed a hidden killer move; this attack was desperate, the opponent’s blood and flesh divine soul, she was determined to seize.

Ji An held his breath, coldly watching the incoming attack, his eyes able to see through everything.

After the Earth-Departing Flame Banner was filled with magical power, under his control, it condensed into a fireball, then like a blooming red lotus, instantly engulfed the blood pythons within dozens of yards.

Under attack from all sides, his defense might not hold up; even with many blood pythons yet to enter the attack range, he had to strike preemptively.

The magical power stored in the Spiritual Artifact could sustain two similar attacks, so he was confident in fighting this way.

He had assessed the situation, the opponent still hiding within the Blood River, they must feel the Great Perfection Level of the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword!

He pinched the spell, his gaze cold and silent, his right index and middle fingers together swiped downward, seemingly casual and carefree, but in reality, he was infusing magical power wildly.

The first time he released the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword, he held back; this time, he was going all out.

Golden light like threads, all edges converging, like a ray of morning sunlight, slicing out not only with magic intent but also with his determination!

This was his strongest strike at present; if there were no results, he would have to consider escaping.

In the black mist, light bloomed, the golden light silently collided with the giant bone hand, its momentum unabated, the Blood River was split in half, its upward momentum sharply declined.

Ji An suddenly felt a sharp cry in his Sea of Consciousness, as if struck on the back of his head by a large hammer, he couldn’t help but groan, the taste of blood surfaced in his throat, a look of confusion emerged in his eyes.

’It’s actually a Spirit Soul Attack!’

His gaze was intense, enduring the piercing pain in his head, steering the clouds sideways to evade.

The nearby blood pythons closed in, the Earth-Departing Flame Banner tossed out thousands of fire clouds, the black mist and blood pythons were instantly burned to ash.

Yun Nianrong unleashed a spirit roar, but simultaneously felt a sharp aura cut through her body, instantly losing sensation in half her body.

Coincidentally, the Blood Beast was also split, instantly losing most of its combat strength.

The speed of that golden light was too fast; her spirit roar needed a certain distance to achieve maximum effect; when quickly approached, she couldn’t dodge in time.

A deadly aura spread from the wound, she recalled the despair of being chased by several Golden Core Cultivators.

’How could I encounter a Sect Cultivator this strong by chance!’

The aura of extinction continued to spread, Yun Nianrong felt as if she was in an ice cave; the earlier attack had lingering harm.

Ji An gritted his teeth and pulled through the Spirit Soul Attack, only to see the giant bone hand shatter inch by inch after the magic attack.

In the distance, the blood pythons desperately surged toward him, but their numbers were now few; he chose not to care, leaving defense to the Wuji Xinghuang Banner.

He pinched the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword again; at this moment, the enemy mustn’t unleash another Spirit Soul Attack; otherwise, he wasn’t sure he could withstand it.

Seeing the enemy’s eyes regain clarity, Yun Nianrong immediately abandoned the thought of killing him to recover her losses.

The opponent could withstand her Spirit Soul Attack without fainting; his spiritual strength must be much stronger than hers.

Even hidden in the Blood River, she was harmed, and after the Blood River was split by the golden light, she lost even more; she realized she had lost the capital to contend with the enemy.

If attacks like this come a few more times, she feared she would meet her end here!

"You wait, I’ve remembered your scent; someday..."

The air reverberated with an irate voice; she would surely return for revenge, and upon meeting again, she would definitely crush the enemy with the power at the Blood Pill level.

Golden light appeared once more, the world seemed to darken; only that light remained, cold and dead stillness enveloping the heart.

Yun Nianrong didn’t care to speak harsh words anymore, burning the Blood River without regard to trigger the Blood Escape Technique, her heart bled, her hatred deepened.

The Blood River quickly retracted, fleeing into the distance, the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword in relentless pursuit; she flew nearly a hundred yards before escaping the magic’s lock.

Ji An saw the enemy flee rapidly, knowing he couldn’t catch up; he breathed a sigh of relief.

Spirit Soul Attacks couldn’t be blocked by magic techniques or Five Elements Spiritual Artifacts; now, his Sea of Consciousness was swirling with countless golden stars.

’It seems the opponent can’t release Spirit Soul Attacks continuously; otherwise, I’d be finished.’

A trace of fear flashed in his heart; Ji An steered the clouds to leave, but suddenly noticed a glimmer in his eyes.

He immediately halted, squinting to find the source of the flash and discovered a black ink-like object on the ground reflecting the sunlight.

Curious, Ji An landed near the object; he recognized it as a black Jade Slip.
