Royal Road

Chapter 49
Li Xiaobai was overjoyed. At this crucial moment, the little scrappy dog actually helped block the attack from the straw-cloaked man.
Although he didn’t understand the principle behind it, it seemed that there was some connection between the little scrappy dog and the totem on his senior sister’s hammer; it even managed to meld into the hammer to block an attack from a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator.
It was truly extraordinary.
The huge beast in the void roared at the straw-cloaked man for a while before dissipating into specks of light.
With a slight ripple in the void, the little scrappy dog quietly returned to the chest of Li Xiaobai.
He patted the fluffy tuft on his chest.
“Incredible, incredible, a scrappy dog I picked up casually possesses such strength. I can’t call you a little scrappy dog anymore; I’ll find an auspicious day to give you a mighty name!”
Li Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed as he murmured to himself.
This expedition to the mountains was really a windfall.
“This is an ancient Divine Beast, a Kylin species!”
“Are you disciples of the Fire Qilin Cave?”
The straw-cloaked man’s tone was one of surprise. To manifest an ancient totem with only a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation level, such talent was outstanding even in Central Province.
Moreover, if he had not seen wrongly just now, that was definitely a Qilin. He could think of no other power besides the Huo Yun Cave that could call forth a Qilin Divine Beast.
The straw-cloaked man felt it was a bit tricky, as he did not wish to offend the forces of Central Province.
He was on a mission and could not afford to get too entangled in other matters.
However, the people from Misty Peak apparently had no intention of stopping there. After a brief pause, they quickly recovered.
The six people once again launched a coordinated and ferocious attack on the straw-cloaked man.
Yang Chen shook his Double Sided Halberd, and a dragon soared out of the void, entwining around the straw-cloaked man’s body, while Su Yunbing’s giant hammer radiated golden light, exerting a formidable pressure that caused the ground to shatter inch by inch.
Ye Wushuang continuously formed seals with her hands, turning the ground into patches of dark green Poison Realm to restrain the straw-cloaked man’s movements.
“Enough. What does it matter if they are disciples of the Huo Yun Cave? As long as I eradicate them completely, who would know that it was my doing?”
“I have already given you many chances. Since you are so persistent in your folly, then die!”
Watching the offensive from the few in front of him, the straw-cloaked man’s heart hardened, and his gaze suddenly turned sharp.
With a twist of his wrist, a flag array appeared in his hand. The small flag was deep red, and as soon as it emerged, everyone felt an increase in pressure, their movements becoming somewhat hindered.
“This is the Yin Soul Banner, which has accompanied me for many years. It has been blood-sacrificed with countless souls. To die under my Life-bound Spirit Treasure is your good fortune!”
Having said that, the straw-cloaked man shook the small flag, frantically stimulating his Cultivation Technique. The Spiritual Energy around his body trembled.
The blood-colored flag swelled in the wind, turning into a massive blood-red wave that furiously rolled towards everyone present.
“Brothers and sisters, do not panic. Let me help you block this attack!”
Li Xiaobai watched the huge waves strike and, stepping forward swiftly, rushed to defend against the blood-colored flag’s assault.
However, the others did not intend to stop. They kept holding their Magic Treasures, crazily operating their Cultivation Techniques against the towering blood wave; killing intent intertwined in the area with sword light and escape light responding to each other, various special effect Cultivation Techniques dazzled the eyes.
Li Xiaobai almost lost sight of the wave’s direction.
“Are all my brothers and sisters ready?”
Su Yunbing swung her giant hammer and shouted angrily.
“We are ready!”
“The big move is ready to go!”
“We can activate our ultimate technique at any time!”
“…”
“Good. Evil Cultivator on the other side, listen well. We brothers and sisters still have one last move. Just you watch if it can kill us!”
“Junior brother, get ready. In today’s battle, we must teach this guy a painful lesson!”
Su Yunbing shouted crisply, a splendid light radiating from her body, displaying her overwhelming power.
“Heh, mere clowns. How absurd. Do you really think you can escape from me?”
The straw-cloaked man let out a cold laugh, clearly not taking Su Yunbing’s words seriously.
“Brothers and sisters, you shouldn’t be like this…”
Li Xiaobai felt very puzzled; his brothers and sisters seemed to be really off their game today.
Why were they charging forward as if they were injected with adrenaline, seeking their own deaths?
And what about the stack of Thousand Mile Transmission Talismans I just gave to Liu Jinshui?
Weren’t they supposed to be for the other senior brothers and sisters?
Why is even sixth senior brother rushing upward with bloodshot eyes?
Could it be that the straw-cloaked man has used some method, so many senior brothers and sisters are being controlled?
Hmm, it’s very likely so.
The more Li Xiaobai thought about it, the more he felt this was the case, and with a shift in his tone, his shape flickered as he charged once more into the towering blood-colored tidal wave.
“Senior brothers and sisters, I’m hardly capable, but let me lend you a hand!”
As the thick scent of blood rushed towards him, Li Xiaobai realized only when he got closer that the pressure facing the enemy was this immense.
“Brothers and sisters, let this ignorant evil cultivator witness our true power, take action!”
“Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman!”
“Bye-bye now!”
“Little junior brother, we’ll make a move first as a courtesy!”
“In wealth and honor, let’s not forget each other!”
“…”
The six from Misty Peak simultaneously pinched the talismans in their hands, which burned up, and their bodies instantly disappeared in the tidal wave.
Leaving only a confused Li Xiaobai, standing dumbstruck on the spot.
This scene feels so familiar…
Watching the blood-colored tidal wave thundering down with an unstoppable force in front of him, Li Xiaobai felt somewhat on the verge of tears.
I’ve been tricked again.
At this point, how could Li Xiaobai not understand what had happened? Just like the group of bigwigs from before, their threats were louder than the actions; they had all run off in an instant, only leaving him standing there alone.
And to fall into one trap right after another, it felt so embarrassing.
My cultivation level is still not there, being unable to see through the performances of others twice in a row.
But now was not the time for self-reflection.
The blood-colored wave instantly engulfed Li Xiaobai, soaking him in the blood sea, and he felt an immense torture on both his body and soul.
His flesh was continuously eroded by the blood, with wisps of blue smoke rising up, and Li Xiaobai felt a strong burning pain.
At the same time, he heard mournful wails echoing in his ears; these were the spiritual attacks, the cries of the millions of souls who had died within this blood-flag.
[Attribute Points +100…]
[Attribute Points +100…]
Heart-wrenching, bone-corroding pain swept throughout his body; in just a few breaths’ time, Li Xiaobai’s body had visibly thinned.
A layer of flesh had been eroded away.
Bare bones, exposed on the outside, radiated a faint golden glow.
Add defense!
Add all to defense!
Li Xiaobai cried out in his heart, feeling pain and pleasure at the same time; this Blood Pool brought him double Attribute Points, an attack on both the flesh and spirit, and it was thrilling beyond words.
But after all, the Transcendance Tribulation Stage senior had overwhelming power; the Blood Pool was not something he could withstand now. He’d have to hold on for a little longer before retreating.
“Where is everyone!”
“Where have all of you gone!”
“Why is there only you left!”
“What were those talismans just now that allowed for instant movement!”
“You youngsters are truly brash as newborn calves, utterly defying my power.”
“Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I, Liu Mang, will find you and chop you into pieces!”
“Blood Evil Soul-searching Technique!”
