Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 541 Profound Blood
On the vast sea.

The void shattered, and the purest blood energy rose up, condensing into auspicious clouds and transforming into a canopy, becoming the purest energy of heaven and earth, the fundamental way of all living beings.

"I am Feng Yan, who are you?"

The white-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, suppressing the entire vast sea and the void. His aura was too terrifying. He was definitely a top figure in the world, enough to be ranked among the great supernatural beings!
Xu Xuan's mind went blank for a moment. He instantly realized who the other party was. It was the Blood Qi cultivator that Guan Quan had mentioned, an important minister under the Liao Emperor, who had now succeeded to the position of the Demon Minister of Greed.

After a moment's thought, he went straight to stating his name, saying in a deep voice:

"Xu Xuan."

"Oh? The Thunder Sword Immortal of Dali, what a coincidence that I bumped into him here."

Feng Yan spoke casually, then suddenly looked up at the sky, seemingly searching for something. He appeared completely unafraid of the sword thrust from the other side. After a short while, he withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu Xuan, and smiled:
“I did not intend to bully the weak, but the Imperial Family appointed me as the General of Fuxuan Jingye. It is my duty, and I cannot pretend I did not see you today.”

"This is Beihai. Take one of my moves and I'll leave."

Xu Xuan's gaze, however, was drawn to the sword wound on the other's chest. He was all too familiar with that sword intent that was the fastest in the world; it was none other than the Heavenly Pivot Sword Intent!
Is this the work of Zhou Shi? Even someone with such a powerful physique suffered a loss under his sword. I wonder what level this Heavenly Pivot Sword Immortal has reached now.

"please."

Xu Xuan grasped Dan Ting, his divine power surged, his aura reached its peak, and a faint tremor stirred within him.

Logically, he should have immediately activated his spiritual artifact to escape. No matter how high his killing power was, his self-protection was still a weakness. Even with the help of the Moon Pool technique, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.

A powerful cultivator facing a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator would almost certainly be crushed. The only way to survive is to use the Void Walk technique to create distance.

But he is unwilling to back down now, because if he does, his swordsmanship will probably decline.

Xu Xuan's gaze sharpened, and he activated his supernatural powers.

Heavy dark clouds gradually rose from the sky, the Calamity Pool hung high, and the Thunder City was majestic. Countless black and white lightning bolts crisscrossed and penetrated the area, beginning to annihilate the blood energy.

Feng Yan's aura rose inch by inch. He had a white jade bracelet on his wrist, which emitted a Taiyin Xuan light to protect him. Moreover, his blood energy had no demonic nature and carried a merit energy, so he was not subject to the punishment of thunder!

'Taiyin Lingbao'

Xu Xuan sensed that this object shared the same origin as the [Moon Patrol Long Su Xuan Talisman] that Guang Shan had offered up in the past. It should also have originated from the ancient Daoist lineage of Xiu Ye and was an artifact of the Taiyin orthodox school.

The Taiyin Dao is inherently about avoiding calamities and preserving one's physical form at the pinnacle. It possesses the wondrous ability to transcend cause and effect and be unrestrained. Right now, the opponent has used this item to block the punishment of thunder.

If it were any other blood qi demon cultivator, even with the protection of Taiyin, they would not be able to withstand the social lightning. However, the opponent cultivates the most original and sacred ancient blood qi, representing the orthodoxy of the human race.

'No wonder even a True Immortal like Mu Wushan fell to him; True Qi subdues demons, yet the opponent was hardly a demon at all.'

The void could no longer withstand the combined energy of the two forces, and shattered like a broken mirror.

Feng Yan slowly assumed an ancient boxing stance, his posture like a bow, as if hundreds of stars were shining simultaneously within his body, or as if countless portals were opening, with a continuous stream of divine blessings upon him.

Fu Yixuan's blood.

If Wen Si'an only refined the basics, then Feng Yan had thoroughly developed every inch of his bones and blood to the extreme. The Fu Yi bloodline, combined with the Blood Qi Orthodox Method, made his physical strength reach a level that was almost unparalleled in the world.

The wind was still, the sea was like a calm mirror, and Xu Xuan felt an immense divine power emanating from the other person, which made him feel a little uneasy. He had no choice but to offer his sword.

As the various phenomena of the Thunder Palace manifested between heaven and earth, calamities struck one after another. One by one, the Thunder Gods stood on the clouds, wielding chains to bind and descend, intending to restrain Feng Yan.

【Si Jie】!
Xu Xuan harbored no contempt whatsoever. As a powerful being, his opponent's abilities were far beyond his comprehension, and he had to deal with him with all his might.

Feng Yan let the lightning chains bind his body, then suddenly exerted his strength, and an extremely terrifying aura spread upwards, tearing the heavenly soldiers and immortal generals to shreds.

He was still pushing his boxing stance, about to make a move.

A pool of lightning suddenly pressed down from the sky, but his spine remained straight, allowing countless black and white lightning bolts to strike his body.

[Primordial Order] was activated, and thunder roared, piercing through the blood energy. Xu Xuan slashed out with his sword again, and two different calamities intertwined and fell suddenly with the sword intent's sure-hit effect.

The calamities of the Big Dipper's curse of death and the exile of spirits descended simultaneously, blasting away the last ray of moonlight.

Hit!

Feng Yan felt the scene before him suddenly change. In an instant, his body was dragged to the ground beneath a celestial guillotine. The blade on it shone brightly and thunder roared when it came into contact with the blood energy.

Xu Xuan's move was far more powerful than before. After breaking through the opponent's Taiyin Spiritual Treasure with two calamities and sword intent, the She Lei's restraint on blood qi finally took effect.

The metal element within Dan Ting began to resonate, and as he unleashed sword strike after sword strike, the Five Elements Punishment gradually appeared on Feng Yan's body, finally coalescing into one point, revealing a red line on his neck.

The miraculous [Heavenly Punishment] is a capital punishment, beheading.

Xu Xuan slashed straight out, and the Immortal Guillotine crashed down. The calamity within the sword intent erupted, striking the opponent's body, tearing through flesh and blood, and clashing with the jade-like white bones. Sparks flew everywhere, but it could not advance even a fraction further.

Feng Yan's hands gleamed with a metallic light as he lifted the celestial guillotine, slowly raising it to his feet, thus ending this ordeal of execution.

The wound on his neck began to heal gradually, leaving only a sliver of dark light, a mixture of sword intent and calamity, which was not easily dispelled.

Streaks of blood energy erupted like dragons and snakes, instantly scattering the clouds in the sky. Feng Yan's momentum remained unaffected; he merely touched his neck and laughed:

"Too shallow."

He was too lazy to put on any more fighting stances. His lower body transformed into a dragon-serpent form, its white scales like jade, its mysterious light flowing around it. He clenched his fist and unleashed a powerful punch. An overwhelming and unstoppable divine intent rose between heaven and earth, overturning the entire vast sea, causing the water to splash everywhere like rain.

The divine intent locked onto Xu Xuan, making him realize that there was no way to avoid it. He had no choice but to summon his feather fan, ride the gale, and escape into the void, where it transformed into a moon pool, its inner essence flowing and washing away the murderous intent.

A punch landed.

Xu Xuan felt as if a divine mountain crashed down on him. His feather fan let out a mournful cry, and the gale above was completely extinguished. The brilliance of the Moon Pool was also constantly fading away. He only managed to ward off the killing intent thanks to the [Lead-Preserving and Essence-Cleansing Order] hidden within.

As the force of the punch dissipated and his divine will vanished, Xu Xuan spat out a mouthful of foul blood, his bones shattered, and his internal energy turbulent.

Feng Yan stopped what he was doing, sighed, and asked:

"Are there any descendants of the Fu Yi bloodline beside you?"

His gaze was complex as he looked over, but Xu Xuan did not respond; instead, he simply turned his sword around again.

"Very well, if war breaks out in the future, I will come looking for you."

Feng Yan's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He punched open the void again and stepped into it. He left decisively, without any intention to kill, leaving Xu Xuan behind.

A layer of demonic light appeared before him, and a woman's voice seemed to rebuke him, urging him to return and capture the sword immortal back to Liao.

With a single punch, he shattered the demonic light, silencing the clamor. Feng Yan's expression turned cold as he slowly said:

"What makes you think you can order me around?"

He touched the dark light on his neck, where lightning emanated and sword intent surged, but it was not as terrifying as the wound on his chest.

"It seems that it is still not as good as Tian Shu."

Feng Yan seemed to be deep in thought, but suddenly his expression changed, and he covered his neck. Only then did that sword intent truly erupt, echoing the lightning tribulation. Black and white lightning crashed down from the sky, aggravating the sword wound.

This Blood Qi Grandmaster was in a rather disheveled state, with the sword wound on his neck beginning to widen.

The sword intent severed his head, leaving only a thin line of skin connecting it to his body, causing blood to gush out like a spring. Meanwhile, the lightning and calamity, amplified by the sword intent, fell straight into his inner world.

The moonlight rose, protecting the wound, but the two calamities merged and actually eroded the moonlight, forcing him to constantly replenish it with his blood energy, thus exhausting his sword intent.

But the divine lightning on his chest continued to surge, and a fierce killing intent suddenly arose. The golden lightning condensed like thousands of immortal swords, piercing through his internal organs.

As Feng Yan exhaled, his body instantly transformed into a pool of blood, from which a single, crystalline drop of precious blood emerged.

The previous injuries were left inside the shed old body, and the pool of blood was completely wiped away in the clash of the two sword intents.

The drop of crystal-clear precious blood rose, and the blood was reborn, taking his form to heal his injuries, but at a great cost.

"If this person had one more supernatural power, we really wouldn't have been able to defeat him, almost causing us to capsize in the gutter."

Feng Yan frowned slightly, but then relaxed in an instant.

"With Tian Shu here, I don't need to exert myself. I should go and find out about my clansmen."

He activated his supernatural powers, and the blood-red light condensed into auspicious clouds, lifting him up and instantly disappearing into the distance.

Yang Hai.

Xu Xuan silently healed his injuries. At this moment, sensing the sword intent left behind, he cleverly concealed his killing intent, keeping it hidden until the very end when he used the Thunder of Exile to trigger it.

"This is Fu Yi Xuan Blood."

His mind calmed down slightly. The opponent's physical body was terrifying, even surpassing that of a Great Sage's bloodline. With the support of blood qi, it could almost quickly kill some Purple Mansion cultivators who lacked protective means.

"Using the Dharmakaya to deal with it might be effective."

The [Taiqing Mysterious Dharma Body] is said to possess the indestructible nature of the Earth element. Xu Xuan is about to refine the first Path of Vertical and Horizontal. Once he achieves it, he will not be in such a sorry state as he is now.

He turned his gaze downwards and saw that Hesin was still lying in the sea, seemingly unharmed, only unconscious.

Feng Yan deliberately avoided this demon.

'He's quite an unusual person.'

Xu Xuan's heart tightened slightly. The other party was Fu Yixuanxue. Perhaps he had used some secret technique to sense the bloodline. He should have already sensed Wen Si'an's presence.

Being targeted by them is not a good thing.

He immediately wrapped Hesin up, sending her a wisp of magical power, which gently roused her. The demon instantly transformed into human form and hurriedly bowed:

"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me."

Xu Xuan's heart stirred. This demonic beast had never eaten a human before, which was quite rare. Now that the sect happened to have that [Gathering Nest], it could create a Foundation Establishment demonic creature and allow it to advance to the next level.

'I'll take her back with me and see if there's anything strange about her. It might be related to the secrets of the Spirit Thunder.'
