Dragon Blood Saint Emperor
Chapter 247 - 248: Will to Die
At the center of the vast grasslands stood a Heaven-Reaching Tower that pierced the clouds!
It was so tall it could be seen clearly even from ten thousand miles away.
At this moment, groups of Disciples were excitedly converging on the Heaven-Reaching Tower from all directions across the grasslands.
That towering pagoda was the Divine Communication Tower!
It was the place where all the Disciples could exchange their points for treasures.
Of course, it wasn’t a matter of simple luck to obtain a powerful treasure.
The treasures within the Divine Communication Tower were tied to one’s strength. The stronger you were, the more points you could earn, and thus the more precious and heaven-defying the rewards you could obtain would be.
For everyone, points were the most important thing!
Therefore, this process was inevitably filled with slaughter—killing others to seize their points.
Bloody battles erupted across the grasslands at regular intervals, resulting in countless casualties. The victor lived, the vanquished died, and all their hard-earned points went to someone else.
RUMBLE!
Tens of thousands of miles southeast of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, entire hills were being flattened by a terrifying energy. The scene was horrifying.
Three figures could be seen clashing high in the sky.
One man and two women!
The man was shrouded in a bloody mist. Peering through it, one could vaguely see a figure bathed in fresh blood, like a god of carnage.
Terrifying streams of Sword Qi shot out from the bloody mist. The Sword Qi was razor-sharp and reeked of unconcealed killing intent as it slashed toward the two women.
One of the women was tall with long, shapely legs. Clad in a purple dress, she was as stunningly beautiful as a violet Fairy.
The other was a uniquely beautiful woman with silver hair and blue eyes.
These two were none other than Ye Rou and Qianling.
They were in trouble.
And that trouble was the man before them, Liuu Yifei.
The moment he appeared and confirmed their identities, he had attacked without warning. Every move was vicious and filled with a palpable, intense killing intent.
Moreover, Liuu Yifei was far too powerful; the two women were no match for him.
"Killing you will surely make Ye Wushuang suffer, won’t it? I can’t wait to deliver your heads to him and see the look of utter despair on his face."
Liuu Yifei sneered coldly.
The two women were merely at the True Essence Eighth Layer. To him, they were hardly difficult opponents.
"You monster! In your dreams!"
Ye Rou cried out, her body clad in a Treasure Robe that made her incredibly fast.
She had obtained this Treasure Robe in the Demon Abyss Cave. Not only did it have astonishing Defense Power, but it also multiplied her speed several times over. She had been refining it ever since.
The power it now displayed had helped her dodge Liuu Yifei’s fatal attacks several times.
BOOM!
As her graceful figure flickered, the Grand Emperor’s Bow of Destruction appeared in her hands. She looked like a Female Arrow God, relentlessly firing at Liuu Yifei. The destructive power of the Arrows of Holy Destruction was not to be underestimated.
"Monster?"
The single word from Ye Rou’s lips struck Liuu Yifei’s heart like a sharp blade.
Everyone he had met along the way had called him a monster.
Their strange looks had twisted something inside him, making his hatred for Ye Wushuang burn even more intensely.
’This is all Ye Wushuang’s fault. It’s all because of him.’
He would kill anyone connected to Ye Wushuang. Especially Ye Rou. He had to capture her and kill her with his own hands right in front of him.
"You damn bitch! Once I catch you, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be treated like a monster!" Liuu Yifei’s face contorted in a savage snarl. Wreathed in a ball of bloody light, he swooped down from the sky, thinking about how he would disfigure Ye Rou’s face.
His rampaging Sword Aura continuously cut down the incoming Arrows of Holy Destruction.
Qianling seized the opportunity to attack. A Treasure Sword rose into the air, slashing at Liuu Yifei from the side.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Liuu Yifei gave a savage laugh. The bloody light around him flared, spreading out like a vast sea. It blocked Qianling’s Treasure Sword, and the light crashed against her like wild waves.
BAM!
Qianling coughed up a mouthful of blood as her body was sent flying backward.
"Qianling." Ye Rou glanced over, worried, her anger intensifying. She poured a formidable power into the Grand Emperor’s Bow of Destruction. As a Spirit Communication Level Treasure Artifact, its killing power was extraordinary.
The power of the Arrows of Holy Destruction multiplied several times over, piercing through the sky in an endless, overwhelming torrent toward Liuu Yifei.
"Not bad, but it’s not enough!"
With a single-handed gesture, Liuu Yifei formed a diamond-shaped shield from the Ghostly Killing Qi surrounding him, which absorbed the attack from the Arrows of Holy Destruction.
Its Defense Power was so terrifying that even Ye Rou’s face paled in shock.
SWOOSH!
Ye Rou knew she was no match for Liuu Yifei. With a flash, she pulled the injured Qianling to her feet and fled into the distance.
"If I let you two escape and run into Ye Wushuang, wouldn’t that spoil all the fun?"
Liuu Yifei chuckled coldly. He crossed the distance in just a few strides, his blood cloud moving even faster than Ye Rou with her speed-enhancing Treasure Robe.
Die!
BOOM!
Liuu Yifei brought a palm down with crushing force.
BAM!
BAM!
The two women were blasted away, crashing to the ground and spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
"Hahaha! Ye Wushuang, do you see this? Your family, the people you care about most, are being crushed by me like ants! You’d be in so much pain if you saw this, wouldn’t you?"
Liuu Yifei roared with laughter, his face twisting until he resembled a humanoid monster.
"Ye Rou, run!" Qianling coughed up blood. After taking two consecutive hits, she was gravely injured and couldn’t escape.
"Bitch, trying to run!"
Liuu Yifei sent a palm strike flying toward Qianling. With a deafening crash, it slammed into her.
"Qianling!"
Ye Rou’s beautiful eyes turned bloodshot as she roared, "You animal! If you have any guts, then kill us!"
"Kill you?" Liuu Yifei smirked viciously. "Don’t worry, I won’t let you die so quickly. I’m going to return all the pain Ye Wushuang gave me right back onto you."
BOOM!
As he spoke, Liuu Yifei launched another palm strike at Ye Rou.
Protected by her Treasure Robe, Ye Rou had only sustained minor injuries from the previous blow.
Seeing Liuu Yifei attack again, she activated the Treasure Robe. It glowed with a brilliant light, and with the boost of speed, she dodged the attack. At the same time, she rushed to Qianling’s side, helped her up, and continued to flee.
"Run. I love watching people die in helpless despair!"
Liuu Yifei had no intention of killing them in one blow. He wanted to torture them, to vent all his overflowing hatred for Ye Wushuang onto these two women.
BOOM!
The blood cloud erupted once more, extending a bloody palm that swatted at the two fleeing women.
"Ye Rou, just run! I can’t go on! You still have a chance, don’t worry about me!" Qianling’s pretty face was stained with blood, and her aura was fading. Her injuries were clearly too severe.
"I won’t abandon you!"
Ye Rou was resolute, refusing to let go.
BOOM!
As the massive palm descended, she could only use her Treasure Robe to defend and endure the attack.
However, although the Treasure Robe’s Defense Power was strong, Liuu Yifei’s attack was even more terrifying. When it struck Ye Rou, it forced another spray of crimson blood from her lips.
Qianling could feel Ye Rou’s delicate body trembling.
But Ye Rou continued to hold on, struggling desperately.
"Let’s see how many hits you can take!" Liuu Yifei laughed maniacally. Seeing the two women spit up blood again and again filled his heart with a sense of glee.
’If you must blame someone, blame Ye Wushuang!’
Liuu Yifei slapped out with his palm once more.
Ye Rou’s body trembled violently, and her heart filled with despair.
It would have been better if Liuu Yifei had just killed them with a single strike, but instead, he was toying with them, driving them to despair!
"Qianling, we’re not getting out of this today," Ye Rou said defiantly. "But even if we die, I refuse to be toyed with and trampled on by that monster any longer."
If Liuu Yifei truly intended to use this to make Ye Wushuang suffer, she would not allow it.
"Me too!"
Qianling, though utterly weakened, took out a Treasure Sword.
They would rather take their own lives than suffer Liuu Yifei’s perverse humiliation!
’Xiaoshuang, goodbye forever. Your big sister really wanted to see you one last time!’
Ye Rou’s heart was filled with reluctance. She gazed into the distance with her blood-red eyes, as if she could see that familiar figure in white robes waving at her.
She gave a desolate smile.
’Is this a hallucination?’
’But even if it is, I’m content!’
