This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

The majestic Kunlun Mountains are shrouded in mist and filled with spiritual energy.

Zhong Bai, with a calm expression, looked as if a deity had descended upon this place.

He stood tall and straight, his white robe fluttering in the wind.

"If it weren't for the patriarch's reminder, I would have completely forgotten about you. The purpose of releasing you was to kill the Blood Demon, but since you are unwilling, then I will give you some face!"

Zhong Bai spoke calmly, while the Plague Demon's expression was solemn.

This was the second time he had met Zhong Bai. The first time was on the ancient battlefield, when he dared to challenge Zhong Bai, who was still only at the Nascent Soul stage.

And now...

The opponent's aura is in no way weaker than mine!

Zhong Bai stopped. Since he had come with the determination to kill, there was no need to delay...

He circulated his internal energy and blood, and the powerful energy and blood flowed like a surging river.

In an instant, he unleashed his Qi and Blood Divine Power, and his figure began to grow rapidly, gradually taking shape into a 100,000-foot-tall body that resembled the law of heaven and earth.

His body stood tall and firm like a giant, every inch of his skin radiating intense, fiery energy.

At the same time, he ignited the three true fires within his qi and blood.

The Samadhi Fire erupted from his body, instantly filling the heavens and earth.

The flames roared and dyed the surrounding clouds a fiery red.

Wherever the flames reached, the space itself was distorted by the scorching heat.

The Plague Demon sensed Zhong Bai's arrival and emerged from the darkness.

The Plague Demon was hunched over, and its body exuded a putrid stench, a sign of the power of plague.

He was not afraid of Zhong Bai's powerful aura, after all, he was also a Nascent Soul Realm being.

The Plague Demon waved his hands, and his plague power began to gather.

He transformed the power of the plague into a massive, celestial body tens of thousands of feet tall, confronting Zhong Bai.

His physical form, which resembles the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, is like a giant black mountain composed of plague, and the black mist constantly surging around his body is a deadly plague.

Zhong Bai launched the first attack.

He chanted the incantation of the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique and quickly formed hand seals.

Dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and thunder rumbled.

Immediately afterwards, bolts of lightning as thick as buckets blasted towards the Plague Demon.

These lightning bolts flashed with a purple-gold light, containing powerful destructive force.

The Plague Demon remained calm and unhurried, waving his enormous black arm.

The plague power on his arm formed a black shield, and lightning struck the shield, splashing up black ripples.

Although the shield blocked the lightning, the Plague Demon was still forced back a few steps by the impact of the lightning.

Zhong Bai pressed his advantage, picking up his magic weapon, the Kui Niu Drum.

He shook the Kui Niu drum with all his might, and with a loud "thud!" the area within a hundred miles was filled with a sea of ​​thunder.

Within the sea of ​​lightning, bolts danced wildly like silver snakes, surging towards the plague demon.

Sensing the immense power of the sea of ​​lightning, the Plague Demon concentrated its plague power in front of it, transforming it into countless black spikes.

These spikes shot towards the sea of ​​lightning, attempting to break through it.

The spikes collided with the lightning, producing a piercing explosion.

Seeing that the Kui Niu Drum's attack had failed to cause much damage to the Plague Demon, Zhong Bai then summoned four Soul-Guiding Lamps.

The soul-guiding lamp flew into the air, its wick shimmering with a ghostly blue light.

The four soul-guiding lamps quickly arranged themselves into a square formation, sealing off the space around the plague demon.

The Plague Demon attempted to break through the spatial blockade, but he found his power suppressed by the power of the Soul-Guiding Lamp.

He roared angrily, continuously pouring the plague power within him into the body of the Dharma Heaven and Earth.

His physical form, which embodies the laws of heaven and earth, became even larger and more powerful.

Zhong Bai decided to use his Samadhi Fire to fight the Plague Demon.

With a wave of his hands, the Samadhi Fire, which filled the heavens and earth, swept towards the Plague Demon.

The Samadhi Fire, like a raging sea of ​​fire, enveloped the Plague Demon's Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth.

The Plague Demon's physical form, resembling Heaven and Earth, was being scorched by the Samadhi Fire, and his plague power began to burn away with the flames.

The plague demon let out a painful cry as his body struggled in the flames.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Bai once again unleashed the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique. Countless bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, piercing through the Samadhi True Fire, and hurtling towards the Plague Demon.

The combined attack of lightning and fire overwhelmed the Plague Demon.

Knowing that he would surely be killed by Zhong Bai if he continued like this, the Plague Demon gritted his teeth and decided to use his trump card.

He fused his soul power with the power of the plague, and then unleashed a beam of black light at Zhong Bai.

This black beam contained all his power and moved at incredible speed.

Zhong Bai sensed the approaching danger. He quickly shrunk his Heaven and Earth Body and then formed a blood and qi shield in front of him.

The black beam struck the health shield, causing it to tremble.

Zhong Bai felt his blood and qi were somewhat disordered by this force, but since he was a primordial spirit realm body, it didn't matter.

After stabilizing his qi and blood, Zhong Bai picked up the Kui Niu Drum again.

He continuously shook the Kui Niu drum, and wave after wave of thunder surged toward the plague demon.

The Plague Demon's power was almost exhausted, and he could no longer withstand the Thunder Sea's attacks.

Lei Hai completely destroyed the Plague Demon's Heaven and Earth Formation, and the Plague Demon's true form was also struck by Lei Hai.

His body was riddled with holes from the lightning, and black blood kept gushing from his mouth.

Knowing he was no match for Zhong Bai, the Plague Demon took advantage of a lull in Lei Hai's attack and turned to flee towards Xizhou.

How could Zhong Bai let him escape so easily? He put away the Kui Niu Drum and the Soul-Guiding Lamp, and then used his movement technique to chase after the Plague Demon.

The plague demon fled, his heart filled with fear.

He knew that only by finding the Blood Demon and joining forces with him could he possibly deal with Zhong Bai. Even if the Blood Demon was unwilling to get involved and instead shifted the blame elsewhere, they were still of the same kind.

Finally, the plague demon arrived in Xizhou.

He found the Blood Demon in a dark valley.

The Blood Demon was healing his wounds; his million-foot-long true form of blood sea had not yet fully recovered from his previous injuries.

The Plague Demon hurriedly pleaded with the Blood Demon for help: "Blood Demon, the Daoist sect is ruthless and merciless, why don't you engage in battle immediately!"

Blood Demon frowned. He didn't want to get involved in this conflict, but seeing Plague Demon in such a sorry state, he knew that if they didn't join forces, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed either.

Just then, Zhong Bai also arrived in Xizhou. He saw the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon together, but he showed no fear.

Zhong Bai frowned slightly. So that was what the Plague Demon was planning. However, facing both him and the Blood Demon at the same time, Zhong Bai was not afraid at all!

Blood Demon sneered, "Zhong Bai, don't be too arrogant. If the two of us join forces, you may not be our match."

Zhong Bai did not respond; he launched an attack directly.

He once again unleashed his Qi and Blood Divine Power, and a 100,000-foot-tall body appeared, embodying the Dharma of Heaven and Earth.

He ignited the Samadhi Fire, and the flames rushed towards the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon. Upon seeing this, the Blood Demon released his true form, a million-foot-long sea of ​​blood.

The true form of the Blood Sea blotted out the sky, turning the entire sky blood red.

Huge waves of blood surged from the sea of ​​blood, heading straight for the Samadhi Fire.

The Plague Demon had also recovered some of his power, and he once again unleashed his tens of thousands of feet long Heaven and Earth Transformation Body, charging towards Zhong Bai.

He exuded a strong plague energy, attempting to infect Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai calmly responded to the combined attack of the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon.

He unleashed the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique to its fullest extent, and countless bolts of lightning in the sky blasted towards the Blood Demon's Blood Sea True Body and the Plague Demon's Law Heaven and Earth Form Body.

The Blood Demon's true form, the Sea of ​​Blood, was blasted apart by lightning, its blood waves scattering everywhere.

However, the Blood Sea True Body has an extremely strong regenerative ability and quickly reformed.

The Plague Demon's physical form, which resembled the heavens and the earth, began to sway after being struck by lightning several times.

His plague power, restrained by lightning, could not unleash its full potential.

Seeing this, Zhong Bai picked up the Kui Niu drum and shook it forcefully.

The sea of ​​lightning reappeared, surging towards the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon.

The Blood Demon transformed its true form, the Blood Sea, into a massive wall of blood, attempting to block the Sea of ​​Lightning.

The Plague Demon hid behind the Blood Demon, no longer daring to face the Thunder Sea's attacks so easily.

Zhong Bai then summoned four more Soul-Guiding Lamps, whose power sealed off the space around the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon.

The Blood Demon and the Plague Demon found themselves trapped, and they began to panic.

The Blood Demon extracted a portion of the power from its Blood Sea True Body, transforming it into countless blood-red spikes that shot towards the Soul-Guiding Lamp.

He attempted to break the seal of the Soul-Guiding Lamp.

The Plague Demon also condensed its plague power into a ball and blasted it towards the direction of the Soul-Guiding Lamp.

Under the attacks of the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon, the Soul-Guiding Lamp began to flicker.

Zhong Bai knew he couldn't let them break the blockade, so he poured his own vital energy into the Soul-Guiding Lamp. With the support of this vital energy, the Soul-Guiding Lamp stabilized once more.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhong Bai spread the Samadhi Fire towards the feet of the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon.

The Blood Demon and Plague Demon felt the heat beneath their feet and tried to dodge, but the space was sealed off, making it difficult for them to move.

The Blood Demon's true form, the Blood Sea, was burning at the bottom with Samadhi Fire, and his main body was also affected. The Plague Demon's Dharma Body was deformed by the flames.

The Blood Demon roared in fury, concentrating all the power of his Blood Sea True Body and crashing it into Zhong Bai's Dharma Heaven and Earth Form.

The impact seemed to make the entire world tremble.

Zhong Bai felt a tremendous impact, and he gathered all his blood and qi into his body to meet the attack of the Blood Demon.

With a loud "boom!", Zhong Bai and Blood Demon were both jolted back several steps.

Seeing this opportunity, the Plague Demon pounced on Zhong Bai.

His hands transformed into giant claws, reaching for Zhong Bai's head.

Zhong Bai dodged to the side, then kicked the Plague Demon in the stomach.

The Plague Demon was kicked backward and flew into the Blood Demon's Blood Sea True Body.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Blood Demon launched another attack, splitting his Blood Sea True Form into countless blood droplets, which shot towards Zhong Bai.

Each drop of blood contains powerful magic.

Zhong Bai spread the power of the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique throughout his body, and lightning flashed on his body surface.

The blood droplets struck his body and were shattered by lightning.

Zhong Bai knew that this couldn't go on; he had to act quickly.

He fused his soul power with his blood power, and then unleashed a powerful attack on the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon.

This attack was a massive beam of light, containing the power of lightning, Samadhi Fire, and vital energy.

The beam of light shot towards the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon at an extremely high speed.

The Blood Demon and Plague Demon sensed the immense power of the beam and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The beam struck the Blood Demon's Blood Sea True Form and the Plague Demon's Law Heaven and Earth Form.

The Blood Sea True Body was blasted open by the beam of light, creating a huge gap, while the Plague Demon's Heaven and Earth Form was directly destroyed by the beam of light.

The Plague Demon's true form was exposed, and he suffered a fatal injury.

His body began to dissipate, and he kept muttering, "Impossible, how could I have lost to you... You were still a Nascent Soul cultivator just a few years ago!"

Zhong Bai gave the Plague Demon no chance. He once again used the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, and a bolt of lightning struck down, completely annihilating the Plague Demon's true form.

When the Blood Demon saw the Plague Demon slain, he was filled with anger and fear.

He knew he was no match for Zhong Bai, so he turned to flee.

How could Zhong Bai let him escape? He picked up the Kui Niu drum and shook it continuously.

Lei Hai surged towards the Blood Demon, blocking its retreat.

Blood Demon had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge towards Zhong Bai.

He unleashed the full power of his Blood Sea True Body and engaged in a final battle with Zhong Bai.

The battle between Zhong Bai and the Blood Demon has entered a fierce stage.

Their attacks collided with each other, tearing space apart and repairing it time and time again.

Zhong Bai unleashed all his magical treasures and supernatural powers to their fullest extent. His Heavenly Body, Samadhi Fire, Kui Niu Drum, Soul-Guiding Lamp, and Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique worked together to relentlessly attack the Blood Demon.

Although the Blood Demon's Blood Sea True Form was powerful, it gradually fell into a disadvantageous position under Zhong Bai's fierce attacks.

Finally, Zhong Bai unleashed an attack that combined all his power, which struck directly at the core of the Blood Demon's Blood Sea True Form.

The Blood Demon's true form in the Blood Sea was completely destroyed, and his physical body was also severely injured.

The Blood Demon spat out a mouthful of blood, knowing he was no longer able to fight.

Blood Demon glanced at Zhong Bai, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

Then, he tore through space and vanished.

Zhong Bai looked in the direction the Blood Demon had fled, but he did not continue to chase after it.

He knew that he had achieved a great victory today, slaying the Plague Demon and severely wounding the Blood Demon, thus eliminating two great scourges from the world.

Zhong Bai put away his magical artifact, and his Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth slowly shrank.

The divine senses around them were too obvious. The Buddhist sects of Xizhou must have been observing them in secret. However, these guys were just bystanders. If they had attacked together just now, the Blood Demon might have perished.

But since the Buddhist sect chose to remain inactive, Zhong Bai had no interest in cleaning up this mess. After this incident, he believed that the Blood Demon would not dare to enter Dongzhou again, so he let the Buddhist sect and the Blood Demon continue their battle...

After taking a deep look at the land of Xizhou, Zhong Bai tore through space and returned to Maoshan.

The Buddhist masters who were secretly watching were all dumbfounded when Zhong Bai left.

On Mount Jiuhua, Patriarch Lianhua was astonished.

"No, Maoshan is only here to kill a plague demon?"
Is the Blood Demon just going to let things go like this?

"If I had known it would end like this, I should have surrounded and attacked the Blood Demon earlier..."

What's missed is missed, and regret is useless now. (End of Chapter)
