I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 41: White Lotus Blood Infant! Li Yanran’s Terror!

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: White Lotus Blood Infant! Li Yanran’s Terror!

With the mountain stronghold’s gate gone, the scene inside came into view.

The inside of the stronghold was deserted, with chaotic footprints on the ground and some bloodstains that had yet to dry.

The thick smell of blood permeated the air, causing a nauseating feeling of revulsion.

At first, Li Yanran didn’t care much about it, but her expression changed drastically when she saw the eerie sight.

"Oh no!"

The next second, Li Yanran rushed towards the interior of the stronghold at great speed.

Su Tianqi and Chen Lingfeng saw this and hurriedly followed.

The hall inside the stronghold.

At this moment, the floor of the hall was covered with cleanly gnawed white bones, and the ground seemed to be stained a garish blood red by some liquid.

An old and emaciated figure, Fang Sheng, was holding something in his hands.

He desperately stuffed his mouth, the unknown red liquid dripping from his hands onto the ground.

"Not enough!"

"Still not enough!"

"Where is everyone, where did they all go?"

Fang Sheng threw away the bones in his hands, his crazed eyes scanning around to find nothing edible in sight.

"No!"

"Pure World White Lotus Sect!"

"You bastards, monsters!"

"You deceived me!"

Fang Sheng howled madly at the sky, finally regaining his senses.

Looking at the bones scattered all over, Fang Sheng realized what he had just done.

A line of blood tears flowed from his sunken eye sockets; he was overcome with nausea and boundless hatred for the Pure World White Lotus Sect.

All he wanted now was to vomit out what he’d already ingested but found it impossible to do so.

Because everything he had consumed had been completely absorbed by the white lotus on his chest.

The flesh-and-blood embryo resting on the white lotus had grown to an abnormal size.

The embryo had dropped to the floor from Fang Sheng’s chest, merely connected to him by a slender white lotus stem.

Through the thin membrane of the embryo, a grimacing, twisted face appeared, as if it were about to burst out at any moment.

"Stop, I don’t want to die!"

"Pure World White Lotus Sect!"

"Even as a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Fang Sheng could clearly feel his vital essence being unreservedly absorbed by the white lotus on his chest.

His already emaciated body shriveled even more, leaving just skin wrapping around bones, a terrifying sight.

Just then, a shadow shot in like lightning from outside the hall.

The newcomer was Li Yanran, and she looked at the blood-and-flesh embryo with a horrified gaze.

"White Lotus Blood Infant!"

"How is this possible, Fang Sheng, you actually used the Purifying World White Lotus Sacred Seed."

In response to Li Yanran’s arrival, Fang Sheng lifted his head, unwillingly giving one last look at the people outside the door.

"Profound Bird Guard, hehehe!"

Before Fang Sheng could finish his laugh, the flesh on his entire body vanished instantly, leaving just a skin-wrapped skeleton to fall to the ground.

Fang Sheng! Dead!

Thus, the Black Wind Stronghold leader, who had been relentlessly pursued by the Profound Bird Guard, died without causing even a ripple.

However, Li Yanran felt no joy.

At this moment, she stood as if facing a formidable enemy, staring at the blood-and-flesh embryo on the ground.

The White Lotus Blood Infant, an eerie creature incubated by the Purifying World White Lotus Sacred Seed, possessed terrifying strength comparable to a Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist.

The most troublesome aspect was that the White Lotus Blood Infant contained a bizarre white lotus aura that could repel the terrifying energy of the Blood Refining Realm, making it extremely difficult to kill.

If a lone Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist encountered the White Lotus Blood Infant, direct confrontation would lead to nothing but death; the only way to survive was to run!

Only with multiple Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists releasing terrifying energy could it be barely worn down.

Or by a martial master of that particular realm.

An Elder of the Inner Qi Realm!

With the heavenly energy within, it could easily eradicate the strange white lotus aura within the White Lotus Blood Infant, cutting off its source of power, causing it to naturally die.

This was why the Profound Bird Guard had been relentlessly pursuing the Black Wind Stronghold leader.

And why the Pure World White Lotus Sect was intolerable to the Great Xia court.

This strange White Lotus Blood Infant was a man-made anomaly, akin to a weakened version of the extraordinary anomalies.

Luckily, the incubation of the White Lotus Blood Infant was extremely challenging, requiring the energy of Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists for nurturing.

Furthermore, it required the cooperation of Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists during the initial parasitism of the Purifying World White Lotus Sacred Seed, or else the terrifying energy of the Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists would instantly incinerate it.

Just as Li Yanran was about to turn and leave.

At this moment, two more figures ran in from outside the hall, it was the pursuing Su Tianqi and Chen Lingfeng.

"Mr. Li, what’s going on?"

Of course, this question didn’t need Li Yanran to answer.

The two of them had already noticed the blood-and-flesh embryo on the ground, and the eerie white lotus above it.

The usually reticent Chen Lingfeng was now panicking, while Su Tianqi’s face showed fear as he took several steps back.

"This is?"

"This is the White Lotus Blood Infant!"

Li Yanran instantly realized, urgently shouting to Chen Lingfeng and Su Tianqi, "Run!"

As soon as her voice fell, the blood-and-flesh embryo on the ground suddenly exploded.

A humanoid monster the size of a newborn infant, covered in fresh blood with eerie white-glowing eyes, appeared.

The next instant, a gust of wind roared past.

Chen Lingfeng, who was the first to run outside the hall, suddenly had a large hole burst open in his tall, burly torso.

Looking through the hole in Chen Lingfeng’s chest.

The White Lotus Blood Infant was already standing there, its terrifyingly pale little hands clutching a beating heart, which it shoved into its mouth and swallowed.

As soon as the White Lotus Blood Infant swallowed, several flashes of cold light appeared, slicing its body into several pieces.

It was Li Yanran who struck, holding a long sword in her hand that gleamed brightly.

Li Yanran looked at the White Lotus Blood Infant in fury, an overwhelming force of energy surging from her body.

Predictably, the White Lotus Blood Infant’s wounds healed at a rapid pace, visible to the naked eye.

Then, its eyes, glowing with an eerie white light, fixed on Li Yanran.

The next second, the White Lotus Blood Infant’s body transformed into a blur, darting toward Li Yanran.

Swish!

A blur flew by, and Li Yanran was sent flying backward, her long sword clattering to the ground.

When Li Yanran stood up again, a small scratch on her left thigh, deep to the bone, was sizzling and smoking.

It seemed that her body’s overwhelming energy was struggling against the invasive weird white lotus aura.

Li Yanran endured the agony, fearfully watching the White Lotus Blood Infant not far ahead.

Su Tianqi, witnessing this, didn’t hesitate to make a run for it, dashing for the stronghold’s gate.

But at this moment, the White Lotus Blood Infant abandoned its attack on Li Yanran, chasing after Su Tianqi instead.

Outside the stronghold gate, a figure appeared—it was Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan had not returned directly to the county town but wanted to ensure the bandits were exterminated before he could put his mind at ease.
