Chapter 1589: Murderous Qi
"What the hell is that? It's moving so damn fast!"
Knowing that he would not be able to dodge it in time, Feng Aotian summoned the sword back to him and channeled his Ethereal Force to create a powerful Wind Shield. To his surprise, the blood-red Yin wind was actually not tangible, as it penetrated the Wind Shield and the sword with ease. It the end, it eventually passed through Feng Aotian's heart.
"What kind of force is this... I'm cold... It's freezing cold..."
Though Feng Aotian was protected by his Ethereal Force, he could still feel the cold piercing his body. Not too long after that, his face started to turn pale and he could feel an agonizing pain running through his body.
"What... What the hell is going on? What happened to Alliance Leader Feng? It seems like he is in pain..."
"That blood-red Yin wind is really something! Even if that was a God-Ascension level Ethereal Ice Force, it's not possible that Alliance Leader Feng would suffer such excruciating pain!"
"This is really scary! Everyone here! Who knows more about that blood-red Yin Wind?"
Upon witnessing the power of the Yin wind, hundreds of them started to back off at least ten meters. Clearly, they had been terrified and wanted nothing to do with such ungodly force.
"If I'm not mistaken, I believe that would be the Murderous Qi of a 1,000 year-old evil spirit!"
Just when everyone was still in shock, Long Zishan stood forward to observe the changes on Feng Aotian. Considering the fact that she was the faction leader of Ancient Tomb Faction and that she had lived over 300 years, she was actually on the same level or higher than Zhou Daoxian. It was evident that her experience in Jianghu was unparalleled amongst all other people.
"Sifu, what do you mean by Murderous Qi? Please tell us quick." asked Liu Xuanxin in a hasty manner.
"I think there should be a great number of evil spirits behind the black door! All those evil spirits were powerful elites before they died! Someone used Blood Essence to place curses on them after they died! As you can imagine, the ground behind the black doors is now an unholy place! The blood-red Yin wind that all of you witnessed just now is the product of evil spirits' Murderous Qi and Blood Curses that are at least thousands of years old. Your normal defensive methods will not be able to block their attack because it's not tangible! Also, the attack cannot be considered as a spiritual attack! That would also mean that Pure Yang Spiritual Items are useless against them!"
Everyone got even more fearful after hearing Long Zishan's explanation. Even Chen Xiaobei could not figure out a way to deal with those evil spirits.
Blargghh...
From far, Feng Aotian spat out a mouthful of warm blood. An interesting feature to note was that the color of the blood was dark red with a sticky texture.
"Alliance Leader Feng!"
Zhou Daoxian wanted to save Feng Aotian but it was all too late.
"It's too late! He refused to listen to my advice and now he is dead!" said Chen Xiaobei while shaking his head.
"Dead? How is that even possible? Alliance Leader Feng is a demigod with God Ascension cultivation! He will not die that easily!"
All the hundreds of people shouted in shock at the same time.
"Just take a look at him!" said Chen Xiaobei in a serious tone.
All of them had activated their Yin Yang Eyes from the very beginning, and they could see Feng Aotian's spirit leaving his body.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
At the same time, the blood-red Yin wind that went into Feng Aotian's body was now making its way out of his head. Like a poisonous serpent, it caught up to Feng Aotian's spirit within seconds. It then devoured his spirit which made Feng Aotian part of the Murderous Qi. Everyone could sense that the Murderous Qi was even more powerful now.
"Alliance Leader Feng is dead! What should we do now?!"
After seeing how Feng Aotian had died in such a horrendous manner, his followers started to fear for their lives. If even Feng Aotian was not powerful enough to deal with the Murderous Qi, then everyone including Chen Xiaobei would not be able to live to see tomorrow!
Swoosh!
At the same time, the Murderous Qi took a turn in the air and began to charge at the crowd. It seemed like it would not stop before everyone in the room was dead.
"Retreat! Everyone leave this room right now!"
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei made a decisive call by asking everyone to retreat to a safe place to figure out a way to deal with the murderous Qi. Without any hesitation, everyone started to turn around and ran like there was no tomorrow.
However!
The portal that they had just come out from was now gone as they returned to the location they came from earlier! And just like that, fear and despair now controlled their bodies completely.
Swoosh!
Behind them, the Murderous Qi had no intention of stopping it's pursuit of them.
"F*ck! Xu Fu! You bastard! He should have known how dangerous this place is! Even a demigod would not be able to survive in this room! Asking his offspring to come in here is no different from asking them to kill themselves!" said a terrified Six-Eared Macaque.
Right now at this moment, Six-Eared Macaque was considered the strongest elite in the room as he had no injuries on him. One could imagine how bad the situation was if even Six-Eared Macaque started to panic.
"Xiaobei! Use your Returning Bracelet!" said Xiangyu.
"No! I need time to activate the Returning Bracelet! And you know that everyone will shove their way through to enter the portal! Can you imagine the chaos? You also need to know that they are my enemies! Who knows what they would do to my friends and family once they enter the portal!" said Chen Xiaobei.
"But! We will all die here if you don't use your Returning Bracelet to save us!" said Six-Eared Macaque.
"Don't worry! I can let them hide inside my Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd first! It's given by Lady Nuwo! I don't think the Murderous Qi is powerful enough to penetrate it!"
"Good idea! Let's do this!" quipped Six-Eared Macaque and Xiangyu at the same time.
"Ah!!!"
Suddenly, Liu Xuanxin let out a loud scream. The Murderous Qi had suddenly sped up and rushed to Liu Xuanxin for no reason. Now, it was just three meters away from her. Not even a demigod would be able to save her from the attack now.
"Penetrate Nine Heavens!"
There was no time for Chen Xiaobei to take out the Verdant Emperor's Divine Gourd to save her. The Witch Dragon Transformation Skill was Chen Xiaobei's final hope to save her. Within seconds, he managed to get to Liu Xuanxin.
But!
As expected, the Murderous Qi went right into Chen Xiaobei's heart. Not even the Ultimate Protective Puppet could save him this time.
