Chapter 131 Bloody Flame

"It's time to say goodbye!"

Ju Jingyu sensed the sea area where he had set up a dragnet, and for the first time he reached out his hand and grabbed the Soul-Calming Banner floating in front of his chest. He swung it vigorously as his spiritual energy surged.

In an instant, groups of black mist emerged from all around Cao Ze and quickly formed into warriors wearing armor and holding long spears, flying towards Cao Ze from all directions.

puff puff puff...

Cao Ze swung his sword quickly, chopping up these ghostly spirits.

The sword light enveloped him like snowflakes, making it impossible for many ghosts and spirits to take even a single step beyond the line.

But the scattered mist soon gathered again in the distance, and condensed into ghosts and ghosts, which continued to pounce on Cao Ze.

Soon, Cao Ze was out of breath, and every swing of the sword became more and more difficult.

Of course it was not because of the overwhelming attack of these ghosts and spirits. At this time, the liver that had integrated the wood spirit heart core was constantly absorbing the faint light from the bottom of the sea, emitting emerald green life energy to make up for Cao Ze's lost physical strength.

At the same time, the kidneys that have been integrated with the Water Spirit Pearl continuously absorb energy from the sea water and integrate it into the circulation of the five internal organs.

Although he is not a perpetual motion machine now, it is not easy to exhaust him to death in the deep sea.

The reason for this is that there are too many lines of the great trends of heaven and earth left by the Snowfall Knife around him, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to control them. He has already reached the limit of his accumulated power.

But after all, it was the first time he faced a Qi-refining master with unpredictable methods, so he could not be too careful.

If Snowfall Blade's charged attack failed to kill the opponent, he could only use the Magic Heart Ferry and the immature potential of Nature's Wrath to make a last stand.

This way, even if you win, you will put yourself in danger.

“You are so tenacious!”

Ju Jingyu looked at Cao Ze who was panting.

He was confident that he could wear down the opponent if he continued like this, but for such a respectable opponent, he decided to let him see the powerful methods of the Qi Refiner before he died.

He raised his hand and waved the soul-calming banner again. In an instant, it was as if the pause button was suddenly pressed. All the ghosts and spirits rushing towards Cao Ze stopped in mid-air, and then the next moment they all rushed towards Ju Jingyu.

In the blink of an eye, all the ghosts and generals disappeared instantly, and the entire sea area was empty. Instead, a tall ghost general about ten feet tall appeared in front of Cao Ze.

The armor of this ghost general seemed to be forged from deep black iron, shining with a cold luster. Each piece of armor was engraved with complex and strange runes, as if it contained endless power.

There was a faint blue light flickering in its eyes, as if the flames of the underworld were dancing, and it seemed to be staring at Cao Ze.

In his hand he held a huge ghost-head knife, the blade was ten feet long, a cold light flickered on the blade, and runes also flickered on the back of the knife, as if outlining an evil ghost that was choosing its prey.

It is completely different from the illusory texture of those ghosts and spirits before!

The next moment, the ghost-head knife chopped down at Cao Ze's head. As it was swung, Cao Ze seemed to hear the wailing of thousands of ghosts. Before the knife even reached his body, he had the urge to turn around and run away.

"It's time too!"

Cao Ze took a deep breath, and the Meteoric Blade in his hand seemed to sense something and began to tremble violently again. The vengeful spirit in the blade actually conveyed a feeling of excitement to Cao Ze.

Swish!
The Meteoric Blade faced the Ghost Head Blade.

The expected collision sound did not occur, and the tall ghost general was cut like cheese the moment of contact.

The Falling Star Blade continued to move forward with its momentum towards the Soul-Suppressing Banner in the back.

puff……

The Soul-Suppressing Banner resisted for a moment before shattering into pieces.

Then, the knife light fell on Ju Jingyu, as if it had cut through the air, passing through Ju Jingyu, and creating a blank area in the sea behind him that lasted for a long time.

That's cool!

This is not the first time that Cao Ze has used the Snow Falling Blade to build up momentum, but the feeling of holding on to the limit and finally exploding with a bang is really cool!
Finally, the dense forces of heaven and earth gathered together, and as he chopped them all out with his sword, it was like a waterfall breaking through a dam, instantly falling from the sky with a loud bang, and there was really a sense of pleasure of rushing down.

This kind of pleasure cannot be felt during normal practice. If it weren't for the huge external pressure from Ju Jingyu, Cao Ze would not have been able to hold on until now and would have exploded long ago.

Ju Jingyu's attack was like a hand grabbing a bowstring, pulling the bowstring back and forth continuously. He couldn't break the bowstring, so when he let go, the bowstring burst out with terrifying power!

"how is this possible?"

Ju Jingyu thought of many possibilities, but he never thought it would be like this.

What kind of move is this?
How could it be so powerful?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the strangeness he felt between heaven and earth when he was mobilizing the Soul-Suppressing Banner to set up the ghost field. It turned out that the other party was also setting it up!

Where is this kid from?

How could there be such a powerful method?

It all happened so suddenly, so suddenly that he didn't even have time to feel any more emotions.

Ju Jingyu had many questions in his mind, but unfortunately, he was destined not to get answers.

Cao Ze looked towards the location of the gloomy young man with vigilance, raised his hand and swung out another knife, splitting Ju Jingyu's body in half. Although the opponent had been split in half, he had long heard of some of the strange methods of Qi Refiners.

Sure enough, when Cao Ze chopped with his knife, a black shadow emerged from the corpse and condensed into a blurry figure of a young man. At this time, he was looking at Cao Ze with a ferocious face, "You are dead!"

"My master will avenge me!"

The next moment, the black shadow turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Cao Ze's body in the blink of an eye.

Ju Jingyu did not expect Cao Ze to be so cautious. He had originally prepared to give up this body and the treasures he had accumulated over the years. When Cao Ze left, he would leave his body as a ghost. As long as he could find his master, his master would definitely be able to find a suitable body for him.

But now, he has been discovered by Cao Ze, so he naturally can't leave.

Since Cao Ze had snuffed out his last bit of life, he turned himself into the most vicious curse and let this kid be buried with him.

fast!
too fast!
Cao Ze swung his knife to split the ghost of the gloomy young man, but the moment he raised his hand, the ghost had already sunk into his body.

In his sea-viewing vision, Cao Ze could see a bright blood-red streak on his forehead. This blood-red streak was like a jumping flame, constantly baking the surrounding heaven and earth, emitting circles of ripples and spreading in all directions.

It's like a fat fish constantly wagging its tail in the sea, creating ripples and telling the hunter that it is here!
Cao Ze's face turned ugly. He had been careful enough, but the Qi Refiner's methods were hard to guard against, so he had to kill this guy.

When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will swallow it with earth!
Cao Ze did not hesitate for too long. He came to the body of the gloomy young man and after searching, he found a bronze ring, which was a storage ring. Cao Ze was now very familiar with this kind of items.

The qi and blood surge, and the mind sinks into it.

Even though he was well-informed, he still stood there in a daze.

Hundreds of square meters of storage space!

Is this the arrogance of a Qi Refiner?

Although the space was several hundred square meters, there were not many things inside. There were some secret manuals of Qi-refining masters, some porcelain bottles of unknown purpose, and some strange elixirs in the bottles, but Cao Ze had never seen them before.

There are also some strange medicinal herbs and minerals that Cao Ze cannot use at the moment.

Looking back at the Soul-Suppressing Banner that had been broken into two pieces, Cao Ze did not feel much regret. Although it was a spiritual weapon of extraordinary quality, he had already seen how this spiritual weapon was refined.

If it was intact, he would naturally not strengthen it through blood sacrifice or collecting souls, but he would not mind using it, or utilizing the power of the souls to strengthen the Meteorite Knife.

But now that it is ruined, he won't feel any pity.

But at this moment, the Soul-Suppressing Banner that was broken into two pieces suddenly began to emit thick black mist, and as the black mist emerged, the Soul-Suppressing Banner began to slowly melt and completely disappeared in a very short time.

At the same time, the black fog gathered over the sea in front of Cao Ze, like a dark cloud, covering the sky and the sun, completely extinguishing all the light in the deep sea. Although all the light had disappeared, Cao Ze could still feel that the dark cloud was filled with densely packed figures, probably no less than hundreds of thousands.

Cao Ze knew that these were the wronged souls captured by the Soul-Suppressing Banner during the refining process.

A soul-calming banner of this quality requires the blood sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people. So how many innocent people died when they saw the soul-calming banner of the old Taoist priest?
Cao Ze couldn't help but feel a chill in his spine.

He could feel that these wronged souls were looking at him.

This feeling of being watched is so clear!
But Cao Ze could sense that they had no ill will towards him.

The next moment, the figures in the dark clouds were seen bowing in the direction of Cao Ze.

Then, a wave came, and all the figures dissipated with the waves, disappearing completely without a trace.

Also disappearing was the dark cloud that carried them.

The unidentified luminous objects on the seabed reappeared in the field of vision, giving Cao Ze a feeling of finally seeing the light after the clouds had cleared.

buzzing...

The Meteorite Knife in his hand trembled violently and flew towards the place where the dark cloud dissipated.

Only then did Cao Ze discover that there was a ball of golden light as thin as a hair. He had previously thought that this was also a luminous body under the sea.

A ball of black mist emerged from the Meteoric Blade, greedily absorbing the golden energy. It was only a strand the size of a hair, but the Meteoric Blade absorbed it with great effort, and it even felt like a snake swallowing an elephant.

After a quarter of an hour, the Falling Star Blade stopped trembling and no longer absorbed the golden energy. Like a docile little animal that had eaten its fill, it obediently returned to the scabbard in Cao Ze's hand and stopped moving, just like a well-fed wild beast that began to digest its food through sleep.

Look at the remaining half ray of golden energy in front.

As if sensing Cao Ze's gaze, this ray of golden energy floated to Cao Ze's side happily like a puppy that had found its owner. It circled around him for several times before diving into Cao Ze's forehead.

However, Cao Ze did not feel anything unusual.

The panel was called out, but the data on it did not change at all.

Everything seemed normal from Guan Hai's perspective, as if the golden energy had never existed.

After some investigation, nothing was found. Cao Zeye no longer worried about it. Judging from the situation of the Falling Star Knife, this golden energy should not be of any harm to him.

Instead, it was the flickering blood-red flame between the eyebrows!
After swinging his knife again to turn the gloomy young man's body into mud and blending it with the seabed mud, Cao Ze began to float towards the surface of the sea.

After determining the direction, he sped towards the island again.

The sounds of fighting had disappeared, and it was obvious that the battle there was over. Going there at this time would undoubtedly be a very dangerous act.

But the flickering blood-red flame between his eyebrows left him with no choice. He had to go over and take a look. If the other party won and the old Taoist died, then everyone would be happy.

But if the Taoist wins, now would be his best chance!

The man who fought with the Taoist priest was quite powerful. Even if the Taoist priest won, it would not be too easy. With his vision of the sea and perfect water skills, he had a certain confidence that he could escape from the injured Taoist priest even if things went wrong.

He didn't want to take the risk, but he had no choice.

The choice without choice is the best choice!

An hour later, Cao Ze had returned to the location of the island.

However, looking at the calm sea ahead, Cao Ze thought he had gone to the wrong place.

What about such a big island?
He knew that he couldn't be in the wrong place.

Just a few hours ago, there was indeed a large island there.

But now, the island has disappeared!
How it disappeared is self-evident.

What level of strength is that old Taoist priest?
Cao Ze couldn't help but wonder again.

The battle between the two actually destroyed the island!
Soon, Cao Ze narrowed his eyes and looked below the sea to where the island was originally located.

The island was not completely destroyed, and the underwater part still remained.

On the base of an island hundreds of meters below the sea, two old men were sitting cross-legged. They were the Taoist priest who presided over the blood sacrifice.

The other person should be the strong man who fought with the old Taoist!
"Disciple, are you back?"

As soon as Cao Ze landed on the water, the skinny old Taoist suddenly opened his eyes and shouted happily, "Kill this villain quickly! He has been devoured by my ghost and can't move for a short time!"

"Humph!"

Li Changji snorted coldly. Although his face was stern, he thought to himself that it was bad.

Originally, he was even stronger than the evil Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest was cunning and threatened the islanders, causing him to lose sight of the big picture and fall into the trap.

But the old Taoist was also feeling uncomfortable, being attacked by his sword energy. He could only suppress the sword energy in his body with all his strength and was unable to move.

But I never thought that this evil Taoist priest had another disciple outside.

Hearing this, Cao Ze felt relieved. With such old strength, he actually recognized the wrong person, which showed that his injuries were extremely serious and he had no energy to take care of other things.

He dived into the water and cautiously approached the island, his abdomen bulging at the same time, "Your apprentice is dead!"

At this time, the two people on the island also saw Cao Ze.

"It's you?!"

The old Taoist immediately remembered who this person was. He never expected that an ant-like character would become the key to turning the tide of the battle.

At this distance, he could already sense the blood curse his disciple had placed on Cao Ze.

He knew that the other party was not lying and his disciple was really dead!

"waste!"

He cursed his useless disciple in his heart, but said, "It doesn't matter, he is just a useless waste, so I can kill him."

"Little brother, if you help me kill that old thief on the other side, you will be my apprentice from now on."

"I think you also understand what it means to be a disciple of a Qi Refiner. I can swear to the Heaven that whether it is elixirs or resources, what you get will not be worse than those geniuses in Donghai County!"

"I killed your apprentice, but instead of avenging him, you want to take me in as your apprentice?"

Cao Ze looked at the old Taoist with interest, "If someone kills me someday, I'm afraid it will be the same outcome, right?"

Hahahaha...

The old man on the opposite side laughed heartily, "Those who do evil will eventually perish. The law of nature will always prevail. Retribution will come. Hahahaha, retribution will come!"

"you……"

The old Taoist was speechless for a moment, "I can swear to the Heavenly Dao. Do you know what the Heavenly Dao means to a Qi Refiner?"

If the situation wasn't stronger than the person, he would even want to curse, "You bumpkin, I swear to the Heaven, that is the Heaven, and you still don't believe me?"

"The way of heaven?"

Cao Ze shook his head, "I only believe in myself!"
