Chapter 206 The Blood Sea Consciousness Arrives

"You actually sacrificed the entire imperial capital with blood!" Li Xianglian scolded angrily.

Hou Fangting stretched out his hand and grasped the flagpole. The flag, which was dozens of feet long, suddenly burst into a dazzling blood-red light, and then continued to shrink until it was held in Hou's hand.

"This is the Myriad Souls Banner I refined, specially prepared for your twin swords."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, and suddenly black fog surged. Countless ghosts opened their bloody mouths and pounced on everyone like hungry tigers.

call out!
Zhuxie, wrapped in the Nanming Lihuo and dragging its azure tail, shot out like a meteor. Wherever it passed, ghosts disappeared.

Zheng.
The flying knife was deeply inserted into the ground. On the top of the handle, a ball of azure flame burned fiercely, separating all the evil things around it.

Hou Fangting seemed to have anticipated this. He waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand again, and a force mixed with negative emotions rushed towards him. It was actually a soul attack.

Ao Qin and Li Xianglian suddenly felt dizzy. At the same time, eerie and shrill screams were heard, and thousands of ghosts attacked them madly like a surging tide.

"The two swords combine!" Ye Beixuan shouted softly, and at the same time swung the Riyuan Sword in his hand to break the negative effects of the Wanhun Banner.

In an instant, two golden and silver lights flashed in the sky, and the two people instantly merged into one.

"Then let's decide the winner in one move!" Hou Fangting threw the Ten Thousand Souls Banner into the air, and the entire sky was instantly covered by a blood cloud. In the blood cloud, thousands of ghosts roared, and the sound was terrifying.

"Heaven and earth are one!" Two voices sounded at the same time, accompanied by a huge colorless sword energy that fell down.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner seemed unable to withstand this powerful force and let out a shrill scream. Blood began to seep out of the banner, and then a large amount of blood gushed out.

After using this move, Li Xianglian's face turned as pale as paper. Ye Beixuan knew that she had reached her limit. After all, her cultivation was still shallow.

"Hmph!" Hou Fangting opened his bloody mouth and directly swallowed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

He had never expected that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner that he had painstakingly refined could only barely block this attack.

However, being able to push the Sun and Moon Sword to its limit was not a wasted effort. Next time, they were afraid that they would not be able to use such a deadly move again.

"What other tricks do you have? Feel free to use them! I sacrificed the lives of an entire city to gain the opportunity to block the Sun and Moon Sword's most powerful killing move."

"No, you have forgotten me!" A loud dragon roar resounded through the sky, and Ao Qin spit out a dragon ball from his mouth. A phantom of a divine dragon instantly possessed Li Xianglian. In an instant, her whole body was filled with strength.

"The sun and the moon shine together!" A male and female voice came from the sky.

"Don't even think about it!" Hou Fangting roared, and the blood cloud began to surge and condense violently, and finally condensed into a black and red barrier, trying to block the fatal blow.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black and red barrier exploded instantly, and the sword energy continued to be powerful, piercing straight through Hou Fangting's chest.

"Ah" he let out a shrill scream.

"Impossible! This is impossible. I can't have miscalculated. Could it be that..." Hou Fangting struggled, looking at the frail Li Xianglian, and said, "You are actually willing to lose all your cultivation and destroy your meridians for him?"

Li Xianglian forced herself to hold on, looked at him coldly, and said, "Hou Fangting, you always underestimate the determination to love someone."

At this moment, her face became even paler. Looking inward, she saw that her spiritual energy had been completely depleted, her tendons and veins were broken, and she was afraid...

Hou Fangting was filled with grief and indignation upon hearing this. Determination? The determination to love someone? What about me?

Ye Beixuan noticed something was wrong with Li Xianglian and quickly hugged her gradually weakening body, asking with concern, "How are you?"

Li Xianglian forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I just overexerted myself."

Ye Beixuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly held Li Xianglian's wrist to feel her pulse. He found that her spiritual power was almost exhausted, her breath was weak, and most importantly, her meridians were severely damaged. Without a magic medicine, she was afraid that she would never be able to wield a sword again in her life.

He held her hand tightly and whispered, "Why do you force yourself so much?"

Li Xianglian shook her head slightly and said softly, "I just want to catch up with you as soon as possible so that I can help you share some of the burden."

However, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, something strange happened.

A hand suddenly stretched out from Hou Fangting's chest. He looked at the hand on his chest in disbelief and slowly turned his head to look behind him.

"You" Hou Fangting's face was full of disbelief. The owner of this hand was none other than the former Demon Lord Li Jiuxiao.

"Surprised, aren't you?" Li Jiuxiao said jokingly, "Because my life is your life."

"Is all this your plan?" Hou Fangting was shocked. He could never have imagined that a person he had killed would actually attack him, and that he would eventually die at the hands of a dead man.

"Yes! All of this was my plan. Killing you, turning you into the Demon Lord, and making you stronger to consume the power of their swords—all of this was my plan." Li Jiuxiao laughed triumphantly. "From the moment I taught you cultivation, I used my life-extending technique to exchange my fate with yours. Your current ending should have been mine, hahahaha!"

It turned out that he had calculated that he would have this disaster, so he painstakingly performed the life-extending technique to transfer Hou Fangting's fate to himself, and at the same time transferred his own fate to Hou Fangting.

In this way, Hou Fangting replaced him as the Demon Lord, fought against the two swords, collected the power of the blood demon, was eventually defeated, and was killed by him, thus completing the life-extending technique.

"It turns out that my fate was determined from the very beginning." Hou Fangting couldn't believe it. He lost in the end. Not only was there no hope of revenge, but he also ended up dead.

He couldn't help but think of his once happy life. His father once said that when he was born, all the willows were revived and withered willows were coming back to life in spring. But now he has fallen into such a state. It is really sad and lamentable!

The image of Li Xianglian flashed through his mind. That was all! No matter how hard he tried, she wouldn't even look at him. Perhaps this was the end of his miserable fate, and it would be a relief.

"Don't worry, I will help you get revenge, because we have a common enemy." Li Jiuxiao said sinisterly and proudly: "So before that, contribute all your strength to me!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grasped Hou Fangting's broken heart. The suction force in his hand suddenly burst out, sucking away all of his soul and skills.

Images kept flashing through Hou Fangting's mind.

"Brother Ye, my name is Hou Fangting."

"Miss Li"

Then, the picture gradually dimmed and went out.

Immediately afterwards, a roar was heard, causing ripples in the surrounding air.

"The power of the Blood Demon, the complete power of the Blood Demon!" Li Jiuxiao's eyes were bloodshot, and his face showed a crazy and proud look: "So powerful, I feel extremely powerful now, the feeling of this power is really wonderful"

And on the top of the mountain in the distance, a figure in a black robe stood quietly, watching all this with cold eyes.

"Is it finally complete?" she murmured to herself, flipping through a yellowed booklet in her hand. The booklet contained a picture of two little men practicing swords for the first time. The boy often took the opportunity to pat her buttocks.

the other side.

Ye Beixuan and the other two frowned. This guy was not dead. Everything Hou Fangting did was just to make things difficult for him.

"I didn't expect that the famous Demon Lord, once the twin stars of Tianji Pavilion, would become the new Blood Demon. It's really sad." Ao Qin's tone was full of indignation.

"So what?" Li Jiuxiao laughed arrogantly. "The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. Without the combined power of my two swords, who can stand against me? The entire world will be polluted by my blood!"

Compared to Hou Fangting, Li Jiuxiao is now even more powerful. Ye Beixuan felt his head buzzing! Why does he always encounter such a difficult situation? He could have completed the mission by returning to the capital, but now he has provoked such a great demon for no reason.

Li Xianglian struggled to stand up, but ultimately failed, her heart filled with self-blame and regret! If only she were stronger, why would she be so useless?
Li Jiuxiao's wild laughter spread throughout the world, as if everything was under his control. The entire world was shrouded in blood, and blood energy continued to surge and overflow like turbulent waves, spreading wildly in all directions.

the other side.

Feeling this surging blood energy, the righteous masters who received the message from Li Xianglian finally arrived.

However, the entire Beiliang Imperial City was shrouded in blood and energy, and they were unable to enter for a while.

In the sky, several rays of light shot out like meteors. It was Nanmao, Beima, Jintian, Huikong, and Chen Qianru, the five great masters gathered here.

"What should we do? The blood and energy are overflowing and we can't get in." Ma Rufeng said with a worried tone.

"Damn it, if you keep going on like this, the entire world will be polluted." Chen Qianru said angrily.

"I don't think so. Although a little blood energy has leaked out, the central area is surging violently. It's obvious that masters are fighting." Jin Tian said firmly, "I think it must be that person fighting. Why don't we all confine the blood energy here so that he doesn't have to worry about anything?"

"Amitabha." Huikong put his hands together, and a golden Buddha appeared out of thin air above his head, suppressing the overflowing blood and energy. It was obvious that he agreed with Jintian's proposal.

at the same time.

Li Jiuxiao stood opposite Ye Beixuan, and at this moment he was full of confidence.

Suddenly, a huge cage appeared outside the imperial capital, imprisoning the blood and energy inside. Everyone present was stunned.

Ye Beixuan looked at the scene in front of him and cursed in his heart, damn it! Instead of coming to help, he actually suppressed the blood and anger first. Do you really think I am a god?

"Help me take care of her!" Ye Beixuan said softly to Ao Qin. Although the Blood Demon was powerful, he still had a trump card to play, so it was not impossible to escape.

"Hahaha! Just you?" Li Jiuxiao laughed wildly, his eyes full of contempt.

"Today I will let you witness the true power of the Blood Demon!"

Before he finished speaking, he slapped out with his palm, and a blood cloud surged instantly, and a flash of blood disappeared.

Ye Beixuan swung the Riyuan Sword in his hand, and a huge golden sword energy collided violently with the blood light.

boom!
There was a deafening roar, and Ye Beixuan was shocked and retreated repeatedly.

With just one move, if he hadn't relied on the pig skin to defend himself, he would have been seriously injured.

In a head-on confrontation, without special means, the gap in strength would be as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm.

Ao Qin spit out the dragon ball, and the shadow of the dragon instantly tumbled in the blood cloud, trying to disperse the blood cloud.

"You can't do anything to me even if you're alive." Li Jiuxiao sneered. A flash of blood flashed, and the dragon shadow was instantly suppressed. He laughed wildly and said, "Now that you've been dead for so long, you have even less chance."

Ao Qin's face suddenly changed. The dragon ball was imprisoned. When she was about to take it back, Li Jiuxiao dodged and slapped her with a palm. She couldn't react in time and was about to be hit.

"Swish!" A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the flying knife, with its azure tail, shot towards Li Jiuxiao like lightning. Li Jiuxiao was stunned to find himself locked in.

A blood-red barrier quickly emerged, blocking the flying knife, but also slowing down his movements.

Ye Beixuan seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and he also swung out a palm, and the two of them collided head-on with each other.

He was so shocked that his blood boiled, and a lot of thoughts were going on in his mind. It seemed that the gap in their realms was too big. If this continued, his pig skin defense would not be able to withstand it and would be broken sooner or later.

"Without the combined power of two swords, you can't do anything to me!" Li Jiuxiao laughed arrogantly and jokingly.

However, before he could feel proud for long, a cold light broke through the blood-colored barrier and, with a blue tail, instantly pierced Li Jiuxiao's chest. The blue flames spread rapidly and began to evaporate the blood in his body.

However, before Ye Beixuan could be happy, Li Jiuxiao burst into laughter and the flying knife began to change color.

"Hahaha! If I were the incomplete me before, I might be afraid of this flying knife and this flame, but now..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jiuxiao pulled out the flying knife that was stained blood red and was stuck in his chest, and smashed it heavily to the ground. Sparks flew everywhere, and the flying knife that had always been invincible was broken.

Damn! Seeing this, Ye Beixuan cursed in his heart, this is his own magic weapon! Just like that?
Li Jiuxiao drew out his flying knife, snorted coldly, and then grabbed Li Xianglian in mid-air, saying, "You and she do look alike. It's a pity you must die. Without you, the twin swords can no longer threaten me."

Li Xianglian's face changed, and before she could react, she felt a suffocating sensation, and someone was pinching her throat in the air.

She turned her head with difficulty to look at Ao Qin and found that her throat was also pinched.

Seeing this, Ye Beixuan hurried forward, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword came out of his body. The Riyuan Sword and the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hands slashed down at the same time, breaking the empty palms that controlled Li Xianglian and Ao Qin.

However, the Blood Demon's power was too strong. Even though Ye Beixuan was holding a magic weapon, the recoil force caused his blood to surge and he almost vomited blood.

"That's all!" Li Jiuxiao sneered, "I really don't understand why the Samsara Mirror chose you, but it doesn't matter anymore. As long as I kill you, all problems will be solved."

After he finished speaking, a blood-red beam of light shot towards Ye Beixuan. His pupils shrank and he quickly raised his sword to block it.

boom!
With a loud bang, Ye Beixuan was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground from a high altitude, his life or death unknown.

"Beixuan!" Li Xianglian rolled and crawled towards the direction where he landed.

"Hahaha!" Li Jiuxiao laughed wildly, "My Lord will be here soon."

Just when everyone was in despair.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the sky: "The two swords combine."

Ao Qin and Li Xianglian looked up at the same time, and saw a man in black robe standing in the air. She grabbed the air, and the Yueshuang Sword turned into a silver light and flew into her hand.

"Junior sister?" Li Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You finally showed up."

The man in black robe slowly lifted his hood, revealing a peerless face. It was Zhao Yunge, who had disappeared for a long time and had been making plans in secret.

"Who are you!" Ao Qin exclaimed. Li Xianglian was also shocked. She had never seen him before, but he felt so familiar. Why?
"Have you forgotten who defeated you five hundred years ago?" Zhao Yunge said coldly, pointing the Moon Frost Sword in his hand directly at Li Jiuxiao.

Li Jiuxiao's face changed and he shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can you unleash the power of two swords by yourself? I don't believe it!"

"Don't believe it?" Zhao Yunge said calmly towards where Ye Beixuan fell, "Don't play dead! You only have one chance."

Before he finished speaking, there was a muffled thud, and Ye Beixuan, whose life or death was unknown just now, jumped out of the pit.

Damn! I almost died.

"Is this your purpose?" After getting out of the pit, Ye Beixuan asked Zhao Yunge in a light tone.

"The blood demons are like centipedes, which are still alive even after death. Only by fusing them all together and then killing them in one fell swoop can we completely eliminate them." Zhao Yunge said in a flat tone.

"So, you were the one behind all this?" Ye Beixuan frowned.

"Yes." Zhao Yunge responded calmly.

She looked at the weak Li Xianglian and Ao Qin, and felt emotional, it's my turn to protect you in this life.

Without further hesitation, two sword lights, one gold and one silver, flashed, as if people were seeing the scene five hundred years ago.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Li Jiuxiao roared, his blood boiling wildly. This was their first time working together, how could they possibly succeed?

However, the facts slapped him in the face. The two people who had joined forces disappeared in an instant and entered a colorless state. A huge colorless sword energy slashed towards Li Jiuxiao.

Li Xianglian and Ao Qin were both surprised. For the two swords to be combined, they had to be a couple or close relatives. These two obviously did not meet the requirements, so how could they be combined?

In the sky, the blood cloud compressed rapidly and soon formed a barrier to block the sword, but the sword energy instantly dispersed the blood cloud.

"Ah!" Li Jiuxiao let out a shrill scream, his body almost shattered by the sword.

Zhao Yunge's strength far exceeds that of Li Xianglian, and the power of the two swords combined is naturally much stronger than before.

"Hmm?..." They both snorted at the same time! This sword actually failed to kill Li Jiuxiao.

"My Lord, come!"

The hearts of several people instantly rose to their throats, and in the sky, a ball of blood quietly surged like a whirlpool.

Li Jiuxiao, who had just retained his thoughts and emotions, suddenly had a faint blood light lingering around him. Although the amount of blood light was extremely small, it contained extremely terrifying power that far exceeded this world.

Li Jiuxiao's eyes suddenly became empty and cold. He raised his head and made a sound that was not human, as if it penetrated the time and space era.

Immediately afterwards, his body began to twist and swell, and his entire body turned blood red.

His body was surrounded by blood, and the blood color in his pupils was as deep as the sea and sky.

The will of the sea of blood actually used Li Jiuxiao's body to bypass the isolated immortal and mortal passage and descended across the era.

The Blood Demon's real purpose is to use Li Jiuxiao as a container for cultivation after he becomes complete.

"Everything is nothingness and returns to the starting point." His voice seemed to come from ancient times.

There were no blood clouds covering the sky, no gorgeous and dazzling special effects, only Li Jiuxiao standing in the air like a mortal, but there was no trace of human emotion in his eyes.

"Submit to me! My fellow human." Li Jiuxiao looked at Ye Beixuan indifferently, his tone not like that of a human.

Zhao Yunge whispered, "You finally showed up..."

Then, she said to Li Xianglian in a gentle tone, "Can I borrow your body for a moment?"

Li Xianglian was stunned, nodded slowly, then closed her eyes and stopped resisting.

Zhao Yunge flashed and his soul entered Li Xianglian's body directly. She was so weak just now, but her eyes suddenly opened and burst into dazzling light.

"The two swords combine!" An echoing voice sounded, as if the two people shouted it at the same time.

"Immortal Sword?" Xuehai looked at the two swords indifferently, muttering, "But this is not enough to compete with me."

However, just when he felt that the power was not enough, a disc suddenly flew out from his chest, gradually expanding and covering the sky.

At this moment, the broken Samsara Mirror on Ye Beixuan's chest, which had collected most of the broken pieces, suddenly flew into the air.

The mirror and the disc gradually approached each other and were perfectly embedded in the disc, emitting a dazzling white light that dispelled all the haze between heaven and earth.

"Mirror of Reincarnation." Li Jiuxiao could no longer maintain his previous composure, and his face finally showed emotion.

It turned out that this so-called Heavenly Secret Disk was actually the frame of the Samsara Mirror. Now that the two were combined into one, the power suddenly increased dramatically.

Although the Samsara Mirror is still damaged, the gap is no longer big.

It emitted a dazzling white light, like a bright lamp hanging high in the sky.

Under the white light, the blood and energy in Li Jiuxiao's body gradually disintegrated, and his body also began to become nothingness.

"It's a pity that you are just a broken mirror after all. It is far from enough to trap me." Xuehai's consciousness shook his head slightly, and glanced at the two people in the air who were about to complete the combination of double swords, preparing to break free from the shackles of the Samsara Mirror.

However, something unexpected happened. A willow branch suddenly pierced through Li Jiuxiao's heart from the inside out. Then, the willow branch quickly grew longer and instantly tied him up tightly.

"Liu Divine Body, Fuliu Tianjun—Mu Fuliu?" Li Jiuxiao's tone was calm, but he couldn't hide his surprise. He asked, "As the Immortal God of War, why would you do this? If you do this, I'm afraid you will end up reduced to ashes. Is it worth it?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, you'll know after you do it." Another voice came from Li Jiuxiao's body, it was Fu Liu Tianjun.

"The so-called emotions you humans talk about are really strange. For a woman who doesn't love you, you are willing to be destroyed both physically and spiritually, and even reincarnate into the lower world in disguise to merge with me, just to deceive me and die together with the consciousness that came here with me?" Another voice that did not sound human came from Li Jiuxiao's body, full of doubt and disdain.

"Whether Wu Gou knows or not, and whether he cares about what I do, I just want to do what I think I should do. Whether it is for Wu Gou or for Sui Feng, I just hope that I can have a clear conscience." Fu Liu Tianjun said calmly and looked relieved.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see. Are you really ready to face the annihilation of both body and soul? Don't forget, your soul is also in this body." Xuehai's voice finally fluctuated a little, as if he was moved.

Fu Liu Tianjun did not respond, but just cast his gaze towards the two people who had already completed the combination of their swords.

Looking at the two of them entwined like spirit snakes, he felt an immense sense of relief! You two are truly the most suitable couple in the world.

At this moment, the two swords were attached with the power of the divine dragon and the power of the divine phoenix's Nanming Lihuo, and their power was astonishing.

Boom! A powerful sword energy slashed down. Li Jiuxiao's expression was calm, calmly welcoming his own demise.

In a trance, his memory seemed to go back to several eras ago.

In the memory, the handsome man's eyes were full of tenderness, and he whispered softly: "Wuqiu, I..."

Wuqiu's eyes were red and two crystal tears rolled down. She shook her head gently to reject his love.

Then he looked towards the blood-stained area of the fairyland with a sad expression.
