Daoist Competition-Chapter 1082 - 281: Sealing Demon and Absolute Yang Sacrificial Ceremony

At this moment, it was not only Zhang Yan who could see that the situation was unfavorable to Chen Qingping; Xun Huaiying, Huo Xuan, Zhou Huang, and others could also judge the same.

No matter what kind of Divine Skills exist in the world, if their depth can be known beforehand, there are always ways to avoid or counter them, or even use Marvelous Techniques to restrain them. Therefore, unless a cultivator is in a life-and-death battle, they are not willing to expose their cards easily.

The earlier probing by Gao Ruowang was precisely to find the flaws and weaknesses in Chen Qingping’s techniques.

However, Chen Qingping, as the outstanding disciple of this generation from Hai Zhen Temple, was not unaware of this point, yet he showed no fear at all.

The Pi Beast hidden in his Dharma Robe was transformed from a drawing of a spirit beast by the Ancestor master when the sect was founded, and it had been worshiped with Hai Zhen Temple’s Dao Technique day and night, gathering thoughts for a hundred years to condense it. It could dispel evil and devour demons, and as soon as any evil spirits approached, it would fly out to resist without needing a command, truly comparable to a Mystical Artifact.

As long as this object remained intact, he stood invincible.

Due to the sect’s spells, Hai Zhen Temple had killed many more people from the evil Demon Sect over thousands of years than the other Nine Sects, and its familiarity with the cultivation techniques of the Blood Essence Sect far surpassed that of other sects, thus he was full of confidence.

After breaking the "Shape Shifting" technique, he reached out to grab the token talisman that had fallen to the ground.

But at that moment, a faint shadow floated in the air, turned from virtual to real, revealing Gao Ruowang appearing. He grasped the token talisman with a laugh, saying, "I cannot let you take this object, fellow Daoist."

Chen Qingping rubbed his eyes with his fingers, opened his Dharma Eye to look, and saw that this figure, though identical in appearance to Gao Ruowang, was just a Blood Essence, albeit much more solid, indicating it had been subject to sacrificial refinement for a long time and was far superior to the other trivial figures he had casually eradicated earlier.

After entering the Hua Dan Realm, Blood Essence Sect cultivators rarely exposed their True Body, instead attaching part of their Divine Soul to the Blood Essence for wandering. Even if one were destroyed, it wouldn’t harm their life.

When reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, they could send their Blood Essence hundreds of miles away to slaughter living beings and capture demons, eventually feeding back to themselves.

Those with profound cultivation could control over a hundred Blood Essences with a single main essence, and if one was lost, it could be replenished immediately by killing a life.

However, if the Divine Soul within that main essence could be wiped out, it would severely damage the person, rendering them incapable of engaging in battle for some time.

With this in mind, Chen Qingping’s spirit was invigorated. He raised his hand, seized a Gang Thunder, and hurled it forward.

Gao Ruowang laughed loudly and swiftly transformed into a Blood Light, flying away.

Without a tangible body, he moved like the wind, making it impossible to catch up as several streaks of Gang Thunder struck nothing but empty space.

Chen Qingping’s expression turned somber. He reached into his sleeve, pulled out a copper mirror, and offered it up above his head. Then, with a gesture of his hand, over a hundred streaks of golden light were emitted from the mirror, illuminating the surroundings back and forth. This mirror was also a treasure, causing any intangible entity illuminated by its Mirror Light to become immobilized.

Seeing the multitude of Mirror Lights and having no way to evade them, Gao Ruowang trembled his body just before the light arrived, instantly scattering into ten thousand thin, long Blood Threads, writhing in the air like a chaotic mass, then descending upon Chen Qingping.

Chen Qingping’s expression changed slightly as he recognized this transformation of Blood Thread Worms from the Blood Essence Skill. These worms could contaminate Dharma Treasures and consume flesh; touching even a bit would render him defenseless. He hurriedly employed the Mysterious Skill to activate his Protective Treasure Light.

Still not reassured, he simultaneously took out a fish-shaped Magical Artifact. With a slight incantation, a Rainbow Light rose up, circling his entire body. The attacking Blood Worms, upon entering the light, sizzled as if burned by flames, disintegrating within a few feet.

However, the Blood Worms seemed endless, surrounding him with hissing and whistling sounds, rendering his field of vision completely blood-red. Alarmed, he amplified his Mysterious Skill.

Yet, after holding on for half an incense’s time, they did not attack again. Doubt arose in his heart, prompting him to use his Dharma Eye, before cursing angrily, "You dare deceive me with a Blinding Technique?"

He patted his chest, releasing the Pi Beast, which roared toward the sky. With a boom, the entire Blood Cloud dispersed, restoring the world to clarity.

But upon seeing the situation on the field, a heaviness settled in his chest.

The Blood Essence had taken advantage of his defense, once again subduing over a hundred cultivators, positioning them in peculiar stances at the four corners, with a Blood Flag in the center, seemingly gathering Spiritual Energy, resembling a Forbidden Array.
