“Nether Spring Sect wins! ”
“Early-stage Foundation Establishment, the second card will compete on the stage.”
The competition continued, and it was still very intense.
On the high platform, however, Wang Zongyan and his two companions were not interested in watching. They were contemplating whether or not to pass on the matter of the Blood God Sect’s intention to form an alliance to their own sect master.
This alliance was not a simple verbal agreement but a solemn oath made under the witness of the Heavenly Dao, a mutual commitment to advance and retreat together.
Although the lips would perish if the teeth were cold, the Blood God Sect intended to drag them down and be the ones to face the blade.
In reality, what they wanted more was to assess the situation or for the Blood God Sect to promise benefits and seek their assistance.
In doing so, they could avoid some losses and gain some benefits, rather than getting involved in the battle from the beginning.
In the Silver Moon Sect, the elders gathered together.
The Sect Master of the Silver Moon Sect spoke slowly, “Previously, disciples from the Blood God Sect were spotted within our sect’s territory, but despite multiple searches, we found nothing. Therefore, we have been keeping a close eye on the Blood God Sect’s movements.
“Today, I received news that the elders of the White Bone Hall, the Corpse
Control Sect, and the Nether Spring Sect brought many Foundation
Establishment disciples to the Blood God Sect. I don’t know why.”
The many elders were shocked and pale, “Could it be that the Blood God Sect has approached the Three Demon Sects and intends to join forces to attack our sect?”
“It’s not impossible.” The Sect Master of the Silver Moon Sect looked grave, clearly considering the possibility.
“Sect Master, do you have any countermeasures?” one of the elders asked.
The Sect Master of the Silver Moon Sect gazed deeply, “Although we can’t be certain what the Four Sects intend to do, we must remain vigilant. Therefore, I plan to seek assistance from the Heavenly Origin Sword Sect and the Spiritual Cloud Sect.”
The elder expressed some concerns, “This conflict was caused by our sect occupying the Blood God Sect’s territory. Will the Heavenly Origin Sword Sect and the Spiritual Cloud Sect help us?”
“Perhaps, this is exactly what they want to see.” The Sect Master of the Silver
Moon Sect’s tone was filled with helplessness. “More than 300 vears ago, the
Blood God Sect, was a super sect that exerted pressure on both the orthodox and demonic paths.
“At that time, the Blood God Sect’s leader, Blood Demon, wanted to devour the blood of all living beings to break through to a higher realm and unleash a
Blood Demon Calamity. In the end, it led to the orthodox sects of the entire Tiannan Province joining forces to defeat his plot, sealing him and putting an end to the disaster.
“The once great Blood God Sect now only has a handful of members left. The reason they weren’t completely eradicated was that the demonic path feared that if the orthodox path annihilated the Blood God Sect, they would take advantage of the situation and attack other demonic sects, so they preserved the Blood God Sect.
“The orthodox path was afraid that the demonic path would break through the seal and release the Blood Demon, so they didn’t completely wipe out the Blood God Sect.”
“Now that 300 years have passed, the Blood God Sect has become much stronger. Many righteous sects have been worried that the Blood God Sect will save the Blood Demon and have been wanting to weaken the Blood God Sect.
“The conflict between us and the Blood God Sect is exactly what they want.”
After hearing the Silver Moon Sect Master’s explanation, the elders were worried. “The other sects will at most send one or two Golden Core elders. We will still be the first to bear the brunt. After this battle, there will probably not be many disciples left in our sect.”
“Sigh…” The Silver Moon Sect sighed. “Now that things have come to this, there’s no other way.”
Cultivators could go without sleep or food for a few days. It would not affect them much.
Therefore, the competition showed no sign of stopping.
After two days, the first round of matches concluded, determining the victories and defeats among the 40 early Foundation Establishment disciples. Only four disciples from the Blood God Sect advanced.
The Blood God Sect Master and the six elders did not show any particular reaction to this.
Next, it was the turn of the mid-Foundation Establishment disciples to take the stage for the first round of matches.
Half a day later, it was finally Zhang Chen’s turn.
“Mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Contestant number five takes the stage.”
The Corpse Control Sect disciple grinned menacingly at Zhang Chen and flew onto the arena.
Expressionless, Zhang Chen also ascended the platform.
As soon as he landed and before he could stabilize himself, the Corpse Control Sect disciple opposite him launched an attack.
A strong stench of decay permeated the air as two silver-armored corpses
comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment Realm pounced on him from
the left and right.
The silver-armored corpses appeared entirely silver-white, except for their inch-long nails, which emitted a dark metallic luster, evidently carrying corpse poison.
“Clang, clang, clang…”
Zhang Chen used the Blood Burst Technique to enhance his legs, swiftly retreating and creating distance.
As his attack missed, the two silver-armored corpses opened their mouths, spewing out corpse qi.
Blood Demon Technique!
A large amount of Blood Demon Qi surged from Zhang Chen’s body, counteracting the Corpse Qi.
Seeing that he couldn’t take down Zhang Chen, the Corpse Control Sect disciple slapped his storage pouch, and four coffins landed on the ground.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The coffin lids forcefully opened, and four copper-armored corpses, equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, leaped out.
Blood God Sons!
Ten blood shadows flew out of Zhang Chen’s body and fought the zombies.
The two copper-armored corpses at the Foundation Establishment stage ignored the Blood God Sons and charged straight at Zhang Chen.
Any Blood God Sons attempting to block them directly were immediately scattered.
Blood Shadow Avatar Technique!
Zhang Chen split into two, becoming two identical versions of himself.
The avatar used the Blood Spirit Technique, with several blood snakes emerging from its body like ropes, attempting to bind the two silver-armored corpses.
“Roar!”
The silver-armored corpses roared, exerting force and breaking the blood snakes.
Zhang Chen immediately changed his strategy, utilizing his speed advantage to launch an attack on the Corpse Control Sect disciple.
“Corpse Transformation!”
The Corpse Control Sect disciple formed hand seals and a large amount of corpse qi surged from his body. His fangs and nails rapidly grew as he transformed into a half-human, half-corpse existence.
This was the unique secret technique of the Corpse Control Sect, using corpse qi to temporarily transform oneself into a pseudo-zombie.
It possessed the strength and defense of a zombie while retaining intellect and agility.
However, the side effect was that each use resulted in irreversible zombification of a part of the body, eventually turning the person into a real zombie.
Among the Mystic Yin Myriad Corpses Array consisting of 10 ,ooo silver-armored corpses, many were disciples of the Corpse Control Sect who had undergone this transformation.
Most of the demonic cultivation techniques were similar, trading the future for present power.
“This Zhang Chen has learned so many techniques. His future path may not be long.” A disciple watching the battle shook their head and sighed lightly.
“No, I think Zhang Chen is a clever person,” someone countered. “As disciples of the Blood God Sect, we have no future anyway. It’s better to exchange for power as much as possible. Perhaps with this power, he can break free from the Blood God Sect.”
The other person remained silent, not offering any retort.
Seeing the Corpse Control Sect disciple transform into a half-corpse, half-human entity, Zhang Chen showed no signs of panic because there was still a significant gap in their speed.
He could fully utilize his speed advantage to maneuver and seek out the opponent’s weaknesses.
Blood Demon Palm, Blood Demon Transformation Blade, Blood Demon Assimilation, Blood Demon Filling the Sky…
The Corpse Control Sect disciple could only endure the continuous dance of blood shadows, unable to land a hit on Zhang Chen, roaring in frustration.
The two silver-armored corpses resembled headless flies, constantly chasing after Zhang Chen in different directions, being toyed around with.
The Corpse Control Sect disciple had initially thought he was lucky to encounter a soft target at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, but he didn’t expect the situation to be so difficult. He found himself in a disadvantageous position, being extremely passive..
