The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 430 Blood Pool

Li Jingxiao paid no attention to the admiring looks that Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, and Zhang Guolao gave him.

In his eyes, the Eight Immortals were actually minor figures.

The three most powerful figures—Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, and Lü Dongbin—were perhaps only at the level of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

It might not even be as good as that.

In Journey to the West, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was extremely polite and humble in front of Sun Wukong.

However, when Ao Guang and the soldiers of the East Sea Dragon Palace faced off against the Eight Immortals, their battle was evenly matched.

If it were Sun Wukong, one charge would be enough to defeat Ao Guang and the Dragon Palace soldiers.

Moreover, the strength of Lan Caihe and Han Xiangzi among the Eight Immortals is probably only at the level of human immortals.

According to the five levels of immortals in Journey to the West: Heavenly Immortal, Earthly Immortal, Divine Immortal, Human Immortal, and Ghost Immortal.

Earthly immortals are not necessarily weaker than celestial immortals.

The strength of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, far surpasses that of most Heavenly Immortals.

But human immortals are definitely not as good as celestial immortals and earth immortals.

Lan Caihe and Han Xiangzi's strength is probably considered weak among human immortals.

Li Jingxiao looked down on even his junior brother Tieguai Li, so naturally he had little interest in Han Zhongli and Zhang Guolao.

Moreover, Zhang Guolao attained enlightenment by secretly consuming a thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum).

He looked down on Li Jingxiao even more.

However, the appearance of the Eight Immortals was part of Laozi's pre-arranged plan.

They represent men and women, young and old, rich and poor, respectively, and are therefore very popular among the people.

It greatly helps to spread the reputation and fame of the Taoist sect.

So even though Li Jingxiao dislikes it, he would never cause trouble behind the scenes.

This ruined Laozi's plan.

Moreover, giving Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, and Zhang Guolao the Five-Turn Golden Elixir can be considered an investment in advance.

At Li Jingxiao's age and with his experience, he would no longer intentionally antagonize the Eight Immortals simply because he disliked them.

At this point, Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, and Zhang Guolao were so fond of Li Jingxiao that they were practically ready to kneel down in worship.

Of course, besides the fact that he had a five-stage Golden Elixir, it was also because Li Jingxiao's status was high enough.

Their strength is also considerable.

Otherwise, who would want to be someone's lackey?

No, Tieguai Li is destined to be Li Jingxiao's junior brother in this lifetime.

Given Tieguai Li's status and strength among the Eight Immortals, the other seven would likely also be thinking about how to curry favor with Li Jingxiao.

But Li Jingxiao didn't care much about these things.

Anyway, ever since he was able to refine the Golden Elixir, there have been plenty of immortals and gods in the world who want to curry favor with him.

Didn't you see how the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother have been trying to win him over?

Seeing that the three had recovered, Li Jingxiao took out a talisman.

With a breath, the talisman automatically split into ten small paper figures.

With another breath, ten paper figures can transform into hundreds or even thousands of paper figure clones in just a few breaths.

Upon seeing this, Han Zhongli and Zhang Guolao couldn't help but exclaim, "The technique of creating an avatar outside the body?"
The ability to create avatars has been overused by Sun Wukong, yet it remains a well-known and powerful spell in the Three Realms.

Generally, immortals and gods can create several or a dozen clones.

At most, dozens or hundreds.

However, when the monkey used its avatars, it created several thousand at most, which blocked 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.

Moreover, when people with different strengths use their external avatars, the strength of the clones will also be different.

Sun Wukong's clones were enough to defeat the heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as the little demons on the journey to the West, who all fled in terror.

Li Jingxiao's incarnation was taught to him personally by Sun Wukong when he met Golden Horn and Silver Horn on Lotus Mountain.

When Li Jingxiao unlocked "72 Transformations" in the game, his understanding of avatars deepened.

Laozi passed down his "Heavenly Book" in 108 volumes, divided into 36 Heavenly Spirits and 72 Earthly Fiends.

Many of them didn't learn at Tiangang Thirty-Six Middle School.

However, the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends were much easier for Li Jingxiao.

The technique of creating clones is naturally even more powerful. At this moment, thousands of paper figures were flashing with wisps of lightning.

As the paper figures slowly drifted down from the sky to the cave at the foot of the mountain, they easily passed through the restrictions set up by Tieguai Li and his companions.

Then, ignoring the thousand-year-old corpse demon's obstruction, he rushed straight into the depths of the cave.

Even if it were torn apart and shredded by that corpse demon, it would only be a drop in the ocean.

Even more paper figures, continuously splitting off more paper figures.

On the contrary, the number is increasing.

As more and more paper figures rushed into the cave, the corpse demon became increasingly panicked.

Li Jingxiao quickly discovered through the paper figure that there was actually a huge pool of blood inside the cave.

Around the pool of blood were countless skeletons.

There are monsters and humans.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao immediately cursed.

I hate these evil cultivators and demonic cultivators the most.

It involves either cultivating the spirits of humans and animals, or cultivating with flesh and blood.

There is no technology at all.

Under Li Jingxiao's command, thousands of paper figures quickly formed a "Divine Firmament Five Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation".

This formation was originally used by Li Jingxiao when he sought out Yuanshi Tianzun to preach to him.

After the Celestial Venerable gave him special pointers, he finally understood and created the Thunder Array.

As soon as the formation was completed, dark clouds immediately filled the sky.

Then, bolts of lightning roared and flashed.

As for the thousand-year-old corpse demon, it was also taken away by the Yin-Yang Two Qi Gourd that Li Jingxiao threw out.

Otherwise, they would have been turned to ashes long ago by the chaotic lightning bolts surging across the lightning array formed by the paper figures.

Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, and Zhang Guolao were so frightened by the dense thunder in the sky that they dared not stay on the three peaks any longer.

He hurriedly retreated, running for more than ten miles before stopping.

Then, looking at Li Jingxiao, who was suspended above the mountain peak, it was as if he were looking at the god of thunder descending to earth.

No, even the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess are no match for Li Jingxiao at this moment.

After all, the Divine Thunder of the Nine Heavens combines the Five Thunder Orthodox Method with the Jade Purity Divine Thunder Technique and the Supreme Purity Divine Thunder Technique.

In terms of power, it is definitely much stronger than the thunder released by the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess.

With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of purple lightning suddenly descended from the sky.

They easily cleaved the mountain where the cave was located.

After the pool of blood was revealed, thunder from the sky poured down like rain.

It kept crashing down with a thunderous roar.

The blood pool suddenly began to boil, with large amounts of blood constantly gushing out of it.

It canceled out the incoming lightning.

Countless animal and human spirits also emerged from the blood pool, howling and screaming as they tried to break free and scatter.

Unfortunately, as soon as it broke through the blood pool, it was electrocuted to ashes by the lightning released by the 'Divine Firmament Five Thunder Demon Extermination Formation' composed of thousands of paper figures around it.

In Li Jingxiao's mind, there were also constant notifications of hundreds or thousands of experience points.

Although a single ghost does not provide much experience.

But the number is enormous.

Moreover, this number far exceeded Li Jingxiao's expectations.

After thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of ghosts were killed.

It actually consumed most of the energy of the 'Divine Firmament Five Thunder Demon Extermination Formation'.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao frowned.

After a few seconds of thought, the two level 170 Golden Crow Treasure Rings on his hands suddenly emerged from their invisible state.

It even lit up the sun with real fire.
