My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 117 Beheading
The tall, burly man's expression changed drastically at that moment.

Although the Blood Fiend Gourd is very powerful,

Even a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining could suffer a serious setback if they accidentally get involved!
However, the malevolence of this magical artifact far surpasses that of other ordinary magical artifacts!

As a user,
While using magic to activate the Blood Fiend Gourd's own power, one will also suffer the backlash from the impact of countless vengeful spirits.

Therefore, when using the Blood Fiend Gourd, cultivators must concentrate fully, focusing almost all their energy on resisting the backlash and controlling the eerie blood fiend smoke to launch attacks.

This cost seems too high.

In the midst of battle, it turns the tables and takes control of the user.

Leaving a huge vulnerability that allows for easy attack could lead to a disastrous fall into an abyss from which there is no redemption.

If people found out that such a thing existed, they would probably curse it as some idiot's magical artifact.

However, since the Three Demons of Blood Slaughter regarded the Blood Fiend Gourd as their strongest trump card, they were bound to use it.
It's obviously not that simple.

The Blood Fiend Gourd's attack has two aspects.
One was the red light emanating from the gourd, accompanied by blood-red, malevolent smoke and clouds.

Bathed in that red light,
The enemy cultivator's soul and mind will also be affected at the same time, and even the magic power in their body will be slowed down, making the enemy feel as if they are stuck in a quagmire.

It can control the enemy almost instantly.

Secondly, there was the rapidly expanding, corrosive, and extremely terrifying blood-red smoke cloud!

This thing's expansion attack speed is by no means slow.

Just like the distance between Shen Changchuan and two of the three Blood Slaughter Demons not far away was over a hundred meters.

But when the tall, thin figure opened the cap of the Blood Fiend Gourd, the cloud of blood-red smoke rapidly expanded, enveloping him in just a breath or two!
Such a rapid attack speed, coupled with the control of that crimson light,

For cultivators below the ninth level,

It's practically guaranteed to hit!
But the power of the Blood Fiend Smoke Clouds doesn't stop there.
It has a strong corrosive effect on magical power.

Once shrouded in blood-red smoke and mist
If a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining simply uses their magical shield for protection, the power of the Blood Fiend Smoke Cloud can erode it completely within two or three breaths!

Then it drills into various parts of the enemy's body, corroding their skin and flowing back into their body through their meridians, thus trapping and killing them.

Even if the enemy desperately unleashes their inner power and temporarily forces the blood-red smoke out of their body,

However, during that process, the meridians in the body will still be left with indelible erosion damage!

This is precisely why a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining was injured by them, and his path to enlightenment was cut off!

Even if the enemy releases a protective magic weapon,

The blood-red smoke and mist will continue to erode the magical artifact.

At most, having magical artifacts to protect oneself and provide defense is only slightly better than ordinary spiritual energy shields.

But as time went by,
The user can control the Blood Fiend Smoke to continuously gather towards the enemy, constantly increasing its concentration and power, thereby quickly depleting the enemy's mana.

It can be said that the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes!
of course,

Even cultivators trapped in the blood-red smoke and clouds are not entirely without the ability to fight back.

He could easily do two things at once.
While casting spells to protect himself,
At the same time, it launched an attack on the user of the Blood Fiend Gourd.

But the same problem of bloodthirsty smoke still applies.

Due to the slowing effect of the Blood Fiend Smoke, the speed of the attack spells will be significantly reduced.
This means that before the attack spells even reach the user of the Blood Fiend Gourd, they will likely be completely eroded and obliterated by the Blood Fiend Smoke!
Even if you use magical artifacts to attack...
It still retains some power when it reaches the user.

But clearly, the tall, burly man standing beside him was no pushover; facing the greatly weakened attack of the magical weapon, a single slap would be enough to send him flying. And it was precisely for this reason...
This Blood Fiend Gourd appears to have a huge, irreparable flaw.
But in fact,

Its excellent mechanism, coupled with the cooperation of others, is enough to completely cover up this flaw!

This,

This also became the basis for the Blood Slaughter Three Demons to remain at large and act recklessly for many years!

With the help of this Blood Fiend Gourd,
The three of them were even confident that they could go toe-to-toe with cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining!

But as the saying goes, "He who hunts geese all day long will eventually be pecked blind by them."

Right now,

Facing Shen Changchuan and Si Houqing,
The two of them,

They've tasted the consequences of relying too much on the Blood Fiend Gourd!
Zheng!
Between heaven and earth,

It sounded like the clear ringing of a sword, as if it had ripped through space.
A ray of light streaked across the screen.

The protective barrier formed by the tall, burly man's full-force unleashing of the power of his gauntlet-like magical artifact offered no resistance whatsoever; it was as fragile as paper, as the sliver of cyan sword light swept past him.
He passed right through the tall, thin figure behind him, who was intently controlling the Blood Fiend Gourd and continuously channeling his magical power into it!

The world froze for a moment.
Then,

With these two as the center,

Within a radius of ten zhang,

The houses that had never collapsed, the remaining ruins, and the tall vegetation growing all around.
They were all cut in half in the middle, slowly sliding down with a series of cracking sounds and kicking up clouds of dust.

At this moment, all vision became clear.
The cut on its side,
Smooth as a mirror!

at the same time!

The tall, burly man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and then his body fell to the ground.

He was cut in half at the waist.

Just before consciousness was about to sink into endless darkness,
He also saw his lower body standing there.
And behind them,

The eldest brother, who was also cut in two and fell to the ground,
His wide eyes were fixed on the scene.
Don't rest your eyes!

Without the infusion of magic, the red light on the Blood Fiend Gourd faded.

The surrounding blood-red clouds and mist also began to thin out.

Although these diffuse blood-red smoke clouds still possess extremely strong corrosive properties,
But since no one was controlling it, it no longer gathered in one direction. Instead, it quickly dispersed in all directions, and its concentration was rapidly reduced. Its corrosiveness to magic power was also reduced by more than ten times!
it's over!
Shen Changchuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

His complexion was also somewhat pale.
Just now,
When using the bronze jar to create a defense, a significant amount of mana was consumed by the bloody smoke and mist outside.

Then, the ultimate killing move, the Green Wood Sword Light, erupted.

It's important to know that the power of a spell is directly proportional to the amount of mana it consumes. The mana consumption of the Azure Wood Sword Light is far greater than that of ordinary basic spells.

Also because of this,

At this moment, the magical power within his body was almost completely exhausted!
Fortunately, before the battle, he took advantage of the moment when the opponent was grieving to recover some of his magic power.

Otherwise, a small mistake can lead to a huge error.

They might not be able to turn the tables and succeed.
