Chapter 3116 - Bloodsoul Storm
Chapter 3116 - Bloodsoul Storm
"It’s still your man who’s the most handsome, right?" Sun Xiaoyue confidently said.
"You? Forget it, Big Brother Cang Jue is the most handsome!" Jiang Xiu'er said with a flirtatious tone.
Her remark made the other three furrow their brows. Sun Xiaoyue was speechless, thinking to himself, Jiang Xiu'er, are you really trying to set your sister up with Cang Jue?
The four of them chatted along the way, their attention focused on Tianming, but they weren’t nervous.
However, the Bluemaple Swordvalley sword cultivators ahead of them were already sweating buckets and grew more and more pale-faced as they delved deeper.
The blood-red hairs near them all continuously wriggled, emitting a bloody aura. Other than that, there was no movement, making the entire path eerily quiet. The more silent it was, the more frightening it became.
"Something’s off...."
"Senior Brother, we can't go any deeper."
"Should we tell those Myriadpath Valley lords that this is already the limit?"
They looked at the blood-red abyss below them, their scalps already tingling with fear.
Yue Lanfeng shook his head and said, "You're na?ve. When we say it's dangerous, it doesn't count."
"What’ll count then?"
"Danger!" Yue Lanfeng said.
"So Senior Brother means that we have to encounter danger, and only when they see it with their own eyes will they leave, right?" a female sword cultivator sorrowfully said.
"Yes," Yue Lanfeng confirmed.
"This is Myriadpath Valley, the place where all paths converge! For thousands of years, not only have they not helped us, but every time someone comes, they plunder us, making our situation even worse!" A younger cultivator's eyes turned red.
"Junior Brother, you shouldn't say that. There’s still good people in Myriadpath Valley, like Lord Li. It wasn’t that he didn’t take an interest in the darkfiend eyes, but that he really didn't want to take our spoils. He came in for us," another cultivator said.
Yue Lanfeng smiled and said, "Didn't you hear? He's just joined Myriadpath Valley and hasn't been influenced by their ways yet. Myriadpath Valley's beliefs enter every disciple. Even if there are people like Lord Li, they are a rare species!"
"Yeah."
What could they do besides feel helpless?
"Everyone, even if we die this time, we mustn’t bring any risk to Bluemaple Swordvalley, understand?" Yue Lanfeng reminded.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded.
As long as nothing happened, they had to go deeper. The deeper they went, the denser the blood mist around them grew. Unlike the red dust on the Sun and Ebonia, this kind of blood mist would invade the brain, affecting people's minds.
Before long, the Bluemaple Swordvalley people's eyes were all red, and they had to constantly shake their heads to keep themselves clear-minded.
Yue Lanfeng turned back and said, "Lords! We're already very deep! If we go further, the soul confusion will affect you."
"Are you dead yet?" Jiang Xiu'er impatiently asked.
Yue Lanfeng was taken aback and shook his head.
"If you aren’t dead, make yourself useful and keep going down!" Jiang Xiu'er said.
"Yes!"
At the highest point, Tianming's eyes grew colder as he heard this. He had assumed that those four fellows would just play around a bit and would retreat when they got scared. But unexpectedly, they actually believed the rumors and insisted on pushing the Bluemaple Swordvalley people into the abyss. How much further did they want to go?
He looked down and saw the swirling blood mist below, which felt like a giant, blood-red eye staring back at them!
"Hmm?" As he looked, Tianming noticed that something seemed to be moving. "What’s that?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Not good, it's a bloodsoul storm!"
"It only happens once every hundred years, how could it—"
For a moment, the sorrowful voices of Yue Lanfeng and the others rang out.
"A bloodsoul storm?" Tianming saw that the blood mist below had suddenly become denser by a hundredfold, changing into a terrifying soul storm that rushed up from below!
"Don't move! Moving will allow the soul storm to invade!" Yue Lanfeng shouted with all his might.
At the moment, they wanted to escape from the blood path, but it was obviously impossible. The experienced Bluemaple Swordvalley sword cultivators all shrank into the blood-colored hair on the cave walls, then suppressed their cosmoforce one by one, held their breath, and entered a state of dormancy without moving.
"You can't move?" Tianming and Jian Qinghe followed suit, quickly pressing themselves to the cave wall, trying to hide as much as possible and contracting their cosmoforce.
In moments like these, experienced people were undoubtedly the greatest treasure.
The next moment, the soul storm billowed up. Even though Tianming didn't move, the blood soulstorm still entered his body and rushed toward his brain. The Skysoul Tower lit up, blocking a large part of the assault.
"Ah!" Even so, Tianming still suffered a very lethal pain. It was the kind of pain that would bring confusion similar to the effect of the evil impulses, but more insidious and ferocious.
"Darkfiend City!" Tianming remembered it; it was the feeling of turning into a darkfiend in the Skydome Battlefield, losing himself and becoming a killing machine.
"I have to keep my mind steady!" At that critical moment, he could only rely on the Skysoul Tower. It was indeed good; however, what surprised Tianming was that the evil impulses left by the dark mirror spirit had actually merged into his brain. When the soul storm invaded, the evil impulses instantly surged out to expel the intruder.
"I can only say that they’re the same type of powers, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!"
Fortunately, evil impulses were relatively easy to control. Although Tianming's eyes turned black, it was only a surge of killing intent, which made him more angry at those four disgusting troublemakers who kept causing problems.
The difference between the bloodsoul storm and evil impulses was that the bloodsoul storm would turn people into beasts and darkfiends that indiscriminately killed. Evil impulses, on the other hand, only magnified emotions. At least Tianming's hatred was directed at specific individuals and he wouldn’t attack his own people. Being controlled by evil impulses was better than being controlled by bloodsoul storms!
So his situation was the best.
He quickly used the Sky Plundering Eye to check the situation of others.
First was Jian Qinghe beside him.
She leaned against the cave wall, her hands embedded in it. Her body slightly trembled, and because she had a veil on her face, it wasn’t clear how she was doing. However, she should be in a relatively better condition among the people there.
Besides her, the Bluemaple Swordvalley people had experience. They acted quickly and resolutely. Although they were now in the middle of the worst of the bloodsoul storm, at least they were still on the cave wall, indicating that they could still bear it.
Finally, there were the so-called 'Four Eminents'.
Among them, Sun Xiaoyue and Jiang Xiu'er weren’t very bright people and liked to argue about everything. Precisely because of their personalities, they didn't believe Yue Lanfeng's words at all when the bloodsoul storm came.
