Chapter 179 The Terrifying Power of the Blood Fiend Technique
Blood Shadow unleashed the Blood Fiend Technique, and instantly, the scene was controlled by a powerful evil aura.
Those with profound internal strength withstood this wave of attack.
Then, for those with weak internal strength and mediocre martial arts skills, this evil force was like a raging flood, instantly penetrating their defenses.
Before many people could react, they were struck by the blood curse, collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then lay still.
A blood-red rune—a blood rune—faintly appeared on their foreheads.
Zhao Wanqing was shocked to see this and quickly used her profound internal strength to protect herself and Xiao Wan.
She was extremely anxious, knowing that she had to find a solution, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
As the power of the Blood Fiend Technique gradually increased, more and more people were implanted with the Blood Talisman.
Those who had the blood talisman implanted in their eyes became vacant and lifeless, their faces showing expressions of pain, and then they died suddenly.
In an instant, cries of agony rose from outside the entrance of Beitun Village, and the scene was too horrific to bear.
Fengyunniang gritted her teeth:
"Blood Shadow, how dare you be so ruthless!"
Xueying sneered: "For the Blood Fiend Sect, any price is worth paying."
Huo Lengxiong roared angrily:
We will never let you succeed!
Shui Jiangshan, Lei Xinzhen, Tie Yiqing, and others surrounded Xueying, trying to stop her from continuing to cast spells.
But Blood Shadow was already prepared. The blood talisman fragment in his hand emitted a dazzling red light again, forming a blood-red barrier that blocked everyone's attack.
Zhao Wanqing knew the situation was urgent and that immediate action was necessary.
She quickly calmed down and carefully observed the operating rules of the Blood Fiend Technique, trying to find a way to break it.
Suddenly, she remembered seeing a record about blood talismans in an ancient book.
It is said that although the blood talisman is powerful, it is not invincible.
If a specific spiritual object can be found, combined with profound internal energy cultivation, it might be possible to dispel this evil power.
"Xiao Wan, you stay here and protect the others. I'll go find a solution."
Zhao Wanqing said decisively.
Although Xiao Wan was worried, she still nodded: "Miss, be careful!"
Zhao Wanqing vanished into the night in a flash, beginning her search.
After a difficult search, Zhao Wanqing finally found the legendary magical object—the seven-leaf clover—in a hidden cave.
This herb possesses extremely strong purifying power and can neutralize all kinds of evil magic.
Zhao Wanqing carefully picked a few horse chestnuts and quickly returned to the entrance of Beitun Village.
Several days and nights later, the situation became increasingly critical, with more people being infected with blood talismans, and the situation was extremely precarious.
Without hesitation, Zhao Wanqing crushed the seven-leaf clover, smeared its juice on her palm, and then channeled her inner energy to transform it into a pure form of energy.
She shouted:
"Everyone, pay attention! I'm going to try and break the blood talisman!"
After saying that, Zhao Wanqing formed a hand seal and performed an ancient purification technique.
A soft light emanated from her, gradually enveloping the members of the five major gangs at the village entrance.
Those who had been afflicted with the blood talisman felt a warm power surge into their bodies, rewriting their fate of sudden death. Many survived, but were still severely injured and unable to get up.
The tense atmosphere at the entrance of Beitun Village eased slightly.
Feng Yunniang and the others breathed a sigh of relief and were extremely grateful to Zhao Wanqing.
"Thanks to you, little girl, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable," Feng Yunniang said sincerely.
Zhao Wanqing smiled slightly: "If the Blood Fiend Sect succeeds, we will all be doomed. I, Zhao Wanqing, can weigh the pros and cons."
Seeing this, Bloodstain and Snow Shadow, who were also seriously injured, knew that continuing would be futile and had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
They secretly vowed that one day they would make Beitun Village completely submit to the Blood Fiend Sect.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ziyue, who was in Beitun Village, had already gone into a cellar with Liu Xu to recuperate from her injuries.
Qi Yuxuan stood guard outside the cellar.
Although the sounds of fighting and killing at the village entrance reached Qiu Tianya and the others, they acted as if nothing had happened and continued to rest inside the house.
As night deepened, Xueying and Xuehen hurriedly returned to the Blood Fiend Sect.
Their hearts were heavy, knowing full well the consequences of the mission's failure.
The two walked silently along the familiar road toward the secret chamber where the Blood Fiend Sect Master was located.
The Blood Fiend Sect's architectural style is gloomy and cold, with a repressive atmosphere permeating the surroundings.
The Blood Fiend Sect is situated atop a solitary peak, surrounded by dense forests and steep cliffs, seemingly isolated from the world.
The outer walls of the Blood Fiend Sect are made of huge black stones, and a cold aura can be faintly seen from between the stones.
The gate soared into the clouds, with a stone guardian beast on each side. Their ferocious appearance and piercing eyes seemed to be watching everyone who approached.
The three large characters “Blood Fiend Gate” are engraved on the lintel, the characters twisted and winding like flowing blood.
Upon entering the Blood Fiend Gate, one is greeted by a straight bluestone avenue, lined with withered trees whose branches are twisted like claws, as if they might grab passersby at any moment.
At the end of the avenue stood a magnificent palace with a pointed roof and upturned eaves, resembling a sharp blade pointing towards the sky.
On both sides of the main hall are corridors, at the end of which are rows of tightly closed doors, each engraved with different runes. It is said that these runes contain powerful magic that can ward off foreign invaders.
Upon entering the main hall, a bone-chilling cold immediately hit you.
The main hall was dimly lit, with only a few flickering oil lamps illuminating the surroundings.
In the very center was a huge altar, upon which sat a blood-red statue. The statue's face was indistinct, yet it exuded an indescribable aura of evil.
Many candlesticks were placed around the altar, their flickering flames casting shadows on the walls, making it seem as if countless ghosts were dancing.
The walls of the main hall are carved with various bloody scenes, with flashing swords and flowing blood, as if telling the story of the glorious and cruel history of the Blood Fiend Sect.
Some ancient weapons still hang on the wall, with withered vines wrapped around their hilts and their blades gleaming with a cold, eerie light. Each weapon has seen countless battles and witnessed the rise and glory of the Blood Fiend Sect.
Following the secret passage down one side of the main hall, one enters the Blood Fiend Sect's secret underground space.
The light was even dimmer here, and a putrid stench filled the air. The passage was narrow and winding, with a torch every so often, its faint light illuminating the path ahead.
The underground chambers are laid out in a complex and intricate manner, resembling a maze.
The stone chamber was filled with a strong stench of blood. The floor was covered with dried bloodstains, and the walls were inlaid with countless skulls, their eyes empty and lifeless, as if silently accusing the tragedy that had once taken place here.
In the center of the stone chamber was a huge stone platform, on which sat a blood-red crystal that emitted an eerie light.
This crystal is the source of the Blood Fiend Sect's power and the key to the sect leader's control over everything.
Moonlight filtered through the clouds and fell upon the ancient buildings, adding a touch of desolation to this mysterious sect.
Occasionally, the cawing of crows broke the silence of the night, sending chills down one's spine.
After passing through layers of guards, the two finally arrived outside the secret room.
They exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the heavy stone door.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master's secret chamber was dimly lit, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master sat upright in the main seat, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the two of them like a knife.
“You’re back.”
The Blood Fiend Sect Master's voice was deep and cold.
"Is the mission complete?"
Xueying and Xuehen knelt on the ground, bowing their heads and not daring to look directly into the sect leader's eyes.
"Reporting to the sect leader, we... failed." Xueying's voice trembled slightly.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master's face instantly turned ashen, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
"what?!"
He suddenly stood up, shattering the teacup on the table.
"You dare tell me the mission failed?!"
The entire secret chamber seemed to tremble with his anger.
Bloodstain and Snow Shadow were filled with fear, but they knew they had to remain calm.
"What exactly happened?" the Blood Fiend Sect Master demanded sternly.
"Beitun Village is just a small place, why can't you even break through a barrier?"
Xueying mustered her courage and explained in a low voice:
"Sect Leader, the five major gangs have also arrived at Beitun Village. We were ambushed by them as soon as we reached the village entrance. Moreover..."
"And what?"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master impatiently interrupted her.
"Moreover, we encountered a woman during the spellcasting process. She used a special spiritual object to block the attack of the Blood Fiend Technique."
Xueying continued, "Otherwise, we could have successfully planted the blood talisman."
The Blood Fiend Sect Master gave a cold laugh:
"Five major gangs? One woman? Hmph, in all these years, when has my Blood Fiend Sect ever feared anyone?"
He walked around the main seat, slowly approached the two men, and looked down at them.
"Your mission was not only to open the barrier, but also to intimidate those so-called righteous martial arts factions. Now, not only have you failed in your mission, but you have also revealed our true strength to them. This is an unforgivable mistake!"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike that directly hit Xueying and Xuehen on the shoulders.
The two cried out in pain and fell heavily to the ground.
"Remember, disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect must never show the slightest weakness or hesitation."
The Blood Fiend Sect Master said coldly, "I want you to remember this defeat."
