Chapter 288: Chapter 164: Who is the Villain, Martial Saint Secret Treasure_2

Boom boom boom!!

After a series of self-detonations.

The intense power of flesh and blood roared out once more, converging into a Blood River around the Blood Demon.

In an instant.

The chaotic aura of the Blood Demon finally stabilized. It let out a skyward howl, releasing a majestic breath that exploded in the void, forming terrifying shockwaves. With the help of the flesh and blood of over a dozen Celestial Human Realm beings, it finally resisted the eighty thousand Sword Qi it had swallowed.

However, it merely discharged them in a different manner rather than absorbing them into its body as before.

Moreover.

The shockwaves emitted shattered palace after palace, and the Demon Sect’s servants hiding in various places turned to dust, without the slightest resistance.

The Thousand Stars Sword Array and the Blood Demon Array clashed fiercely, and the superior was apparent at a glance.

Ning Qi remained unscathed.

But on the Demon Sect side, more than thirty Celestial Human Realm members had been lost.

This was an unprecedented massive loss!

Most of the Demon Sect’s accumulated power over the years had been significantly diminished by Ning Qi. These people were the essence of the Demon Sect, both powerful and loyal, but now, only around ten remained.

The remaining ones were either new forces of the Demon Sect, like the two candidate Saint Heirs, or core figures, like Vice Sect Leader Xiang Tianxing and the Grand Elder, or powerful beings comparable to those on the Celestial Being List.

All were filled with shock and anger.

The True Man Tianjian before them was terrifyingly powerful, clearly surpassing the Celestial Human Realm. They even wondered if True Man Tianjian had stepped into the Martial Saint Realm.

But the crisis before them was not yet over.

The suspended Celestial Swords exuded sharp auras that made them shudder.

At this moment.

The Blood Demon monster dared not charge again. It had charged once before but didn’t even touch the corner of Ning Qi’s clothes, losing over a dozen Celestial Human Realm beings instead. Although its aura was stronger now, it dared not risk further.

It stood towering like a blood mountain before the many experts of the Demon Sect.

The Grand Elder wiped away bloody tears and opened his eyes, looking at Ning Qi and said solemnly: ”True Man Tianjian, how about ending this here? Your True Martial Sect has suffered no loss. There’s no need to fight to mutual destruction for Great Yan and us. I can assure you that henceforth, my Holy Sect will not harm the True Martial Sect, and all past grievances will be written off!”

The people of the Demon Sect felt frustrated and unwilling, clenching their fists tightly, but had no choice.

True Man Tianjian was too strong!

If they didn’t stop, fought to the death heedlessly, even winning might not lead to better outcomes.

All eyes fell on Ning Qi, the golden pupils swept across each of them, leaving their hearts uneasy.

Ning Qi spoke calmly: ”If you have any means, just use them.”

Coming here today without achieving his goal, how could he leave, relying on others’ promises was not Ning Qi’s way. Retreating now would only mean that when the Demon Sect births a Martial Saint in the future, the first to be exterminated would likely be the True Martial Sect.

His Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking remained focused on the Grand Elder. Only this person held an unfathomable aura, which should be the Grand Elder’s confidence. Others were not to be feared. Yet, using this confidence might come at a great price, hence the Grand Elder’s low pleas for peace.

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and said coldly: ”True Man Tianjian, do you really intend to do this?”

Ning Qi did not answer.

In those brief moments, the Celestial Swords once again brimming with energy, sharpness at its peak. ”Very well! Hope you don’t regret it!” The Grand Elder gave Ning Qi a deep look and then said in a low voice, ”Tianxing, you take charge of the formation!”

Xiang Tianxing’s body shook, then nodded forcefully.

The remaining dozen Celestial Human Realm beings, led by Xiang Tianxing, tightly guarded the Grand Elder.

The Blood Demon roared angrily, its whole body bursting with blood light, locked onto Ning Qi, seemingly provoking. Naturally, Ning Qi wouldn’t let it off; he took a moment to adjust his state, not one for idle talk. The previous clash had allowed him to see through the Blood Demon’s strengths and weaknesses completely.

Now he would not hold back any longer.

Once again, the starry sea fell.

Eighty thousand Sword Qi like a reversed Milky Way rushed towards the many in the Demon Sect.

The Blood Demon monster roared skyward, taking the initiative to face the attack. This time, it was on the defensive. Having learned a lesson from before, Xiang Tianxing dared not recklessly swallow the eighty thousand Sword Qi again, focusing on defense instead, to avoid disturbing the Grand Elder.

The blood power transformed into giant hands, continuously slapping, dispersing Sword Qi into waves. Especially those six blood arms, savagely crushing one Sword Qi after another, though it was evident the Blood Demon could barely hold on, completely suppressed.

Ning Qi’s Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking saw through the Blood Demon’s vulnerabilities, with each Sword Qi exerting stronger suppression.

The earth shook, resembling the end of the world.

Ning Qi saw, after the Grand Elder adjusted his breath, he slowly offered a certain object.

It was a translucent Treasure Pearl.

The moment the Treasure Pearl appeared, Ning Qi’s heart skipped a beat. He realized that perhaps the Grand Elder’s confidence stemmed from this. ”What is that?”

As Ning Qi’s thought just moved.

He saw the Grand Elder’s wild hair flying, the Treasure Pearl suspended in the air radiating a great brilliance, then waves spread in all directions. Subsequently, numerous hidden servants suddenly began to contort all over, and with a bang turned into a blood mist.

The Demon Sect servants in the Underground Palace world numbered over a hundred thousand at least. As the Treasure Pearl was activated, they exploded into blood mist amidst fearful wails.

Streams of blood mist converged, not entering the Blood Demon but flowing into the Treasure Pearl before the Grand Elder.
