Hearing the Scarlet Blood Religion Leader's words, Long Chen was shocked.
All he could do before was stall for time, but it was clear that the Scarlet Blood Religion Leader didn't have much patience. Although four elders had died, to him, the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony couldn't be stopped.
"As long as the Blood Bath is completed, I will be able to step into the early Earth Core realm. With such talent, even if I return to Yuan Emperor City, I will be treated normally!"
Thinking up to here, the Scarlet Blood Religion Leader started laughing crazily.
"Everyone, kill them! Protectors, listen to my orders, stop these three clowns!"
Out of the eight protectors of the Scarlet Blood Religion, four had died, and the remaining four were all early Mortal Core realm warriors. Two of them were blocking Li Cheng, and the other two were restraining Li Jing. As for the rest of the Religion Leader, they all started attacking the defenseless girls!
For this group of tigers and wolves, it would only take a short while for hundreds of girls to die. At that time, even if Li Jing and the other two managed to escape, it would be useless.
For Long Chen, the most important thing was that the elder called Huang Po had already taken out a sharp dagger and was about to slash Yang Lingqing's goose feather-like neck.
"You're very anxious and angry right? But Long Chen, do you think you can escape from my palm?"
The Scarlet Blood Religion Leader chuckled as he stood in front of Long Chen.
Although he was standing there casually, he could still attack at any time. No matter how strong Long Chen was, it was impossible for him to save Yang Lingqing at this moment. As for the others, they were already charging towards the girls!
"Brothers, kill!
As long as we kill these girls, we will become even stronger! "
"Kill!
Haha, after tonight, us brothers will be able to eat and drink well!
Once we kill these girls, won't we be able to get more girls? "
A series of ghostly cries and wolf howls could be heard. When the girls heard that they didn't have long to live, they cried even louder. Some of them turned pale and fainted!
"Bastard!"
Right now, Long Chen's eyes were completely blood red.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body was trembling.
"I promised Grandfather and Second Uncle that I would bring Ling Qing back in one piece. However, there's nothing I can do now!"
"Power!
Power!
I want power! "
Long Chen lowered his head and his body began to violently tremble. An ancient and bloody aura suddenly erupted from his body. The Scarlet Blood Religion Leader was still laughing, but his smile froze at this moment.
"What is this?"
Just as he was feeling puzzled, Long Chen let out a loud roar. This roar shook the entire underground city!
The Scarlet Blood Religion Leader who was standing in front of Long Chen suddenly saw two blood red lights erupt from Long Chen's eyes. Deep red dragon tattoos began to appear on Long Chen's dragon scales, from his face all the way to his feet!
Roar!
This dragon roar was enough to shake the world. It made all the excited people who were about to make a move stop what they were doing and look at Long Chen in a daze.
Within Long Chen's body, countless blood dragons were roaring and surging. A powerful spiritual energy swept into Long Chen's mind!
"This is ….. Refining Blood into Qi?"
Actually, when Yang Lingqing was in danger, Lingxi was preparing to save her. Although she didn't know how weak she would be, she didn't consider this point.
At this time, the angry and powerless Long Chen had an endless thirst for power. The change in his body seemed to satisfy this need of his!
The current Long Chen's body was like a blood red whirlpool. When the whirlpool's power erupted, as long as it was someone from the Scarlet Blood Religion, they were all shocked!
"What's going on?"
Even the Scarlet Blood Religion Leader felt the blood in his body surge, let alone the others. Under the powerful devouring power of Long Chen's blood red whirlpool, several people let out pitiful cries!
These people were all weak, they hadn't even reached the 5th Dragon Vein Realm. What happened to Bai Zhanxiong was happening to each of them. First it was the 5th Dragon Vein Realm, then it kept going up.
As long as it was someone from the Scarlet Blood Religion, they all felt this move.
Endless amounts of blood burst out of their bodies and surged excitedly towards Long Chen. Under the powerful suction and filtration ability of the vortex, the blood was forcibly converted into blood-red true energy, which was then absorbed by Long Chen.
"Bloodline, this is the most basic power of any living being. It is the continuation and inheritance of life."
This was the reason why there was a technique called Refining Blood into Qi. It was because the hidden power contained in the bloodline was too strong.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the people from the Scarlet Blood Religion, as long as they were weak, they all fell to the ground in pain. They were spitting out blood, and the others weren't any better. Even the Late Mortal Core Granny Huang's face was filled with pain. The dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
Li Jing and the other two were completely startled.
Although their current opponents were Early Mortal Core warriors, they couldn't control their own bodies, and their faces were twisting!
Li Jing's eyes turned cold. She threw out three flying daggers and pierced the hearts of the four men. At this moment, it was as if a dam had opened up, and all the blood in their bodies started flowing towards Long Chen!
Although they were shocked, and although they didn't know what was going on, Li Jing, Li Cheng and the other two looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. Therefore, they roared out angrily and charged towards those who hadn't fallen to the ground. As for Li Jing, he charged towards Granny Huang!
"What kind of monster are you?!"
Although his men were being slaughtered, the Scarlet Blood Religion's leader didn't move.
He was still resisting the powerful devouring ability from Long Chen's body. This caused his blood to boil, and he even guessed that if he attacked with too much force, he would end up like the others, and his blood would explode!
At this moment, Long Chen's devouring ability had reached its limit. With the help of Li Jing and the other two, the disciples of the Scarlet Blood Religion were all turned into dried corpses!
When the maidens saw this terrifying scene, they didn't faint from fright. To them, the people who had died were all animals. Seeing how these animals died, they felt a sense of relief in their hearts.
Everyone's gaze shifted to the source of the devouring blood. Those who hadn't seen Long Chen before were all guessing what it was.
"These animals wanted our blood to cultivate, but he sucked their blood instead. This must be their retribution from the heavens!"
Yang Lingqing looked at this scene in a daze. She looked at the man.
This wasn't the first time he had turned the tide like this. Long Chen's body was filled with secrets, and it was these secrets that made him so strong.
Seeing his own followers die one by one, it was obvious that he would soon become a general without an army. The Scarlet Blood Religion leader looked at Long Chen with eyes that were about to spit out flames.
"Granny Huang, kill this Mysterious Yin Body for me!"
The Scarlet Blood Religion leader roared out. He turned around and saw that Li Jing and Granny Huang were already fighting. Both of them were at the Late Mortal Core realm, but Granny Huang was restricted by Long Chen's Blood Refining Qi. In just a few moves, she was stabbed by Li Jing's throwing knives. At this moment, the blood on her body started to pour out and gather towards Long Chen!
Ah!
Granny Huang let out a miserable cry. Her withered body became even more shriveled.
In just a few moves, she had turned into dried corpses just like the other Scarlet Blood Religion disciples!
The people of the Scarlet Blood Religion fell down one by one and turned into dried corpses. This was a magnificent scene. After Granny Huang died, the other Dragon Vein realm followers couldn't hold on any longer and fell down one by one!
The Scarlet Blood Religion leader was stunned. This time, he had really become a general without an army. As long as it was someone from the Scarlet Blood Religion, not a single one of them was left alive!
As long as it was a Dragon Vein realm warrior, they were all killed by Long Chen's Blood Refining Qi. Those who weren't Dragon Vein realm were also killed with the help of Li Jing and the other two. This time, Long Chen had killed more than a thousand people!
He had never thought that one day he would become such a murderous maniac. But, now wasn't the time to worry about it. When he reached the Late Mortal Core realm, and Granny Huang's blood essence had entered his body and turned into his blood red true qi, the boundary between the Early Mortal Core realm and the Late Mortal Core realm had finally loosened!
An endless amount of blood-red True Energy surged within his Dantian. The Mortal Core within his Dantian spun violently as it endured the influx of True Energy. As it spun, it shrank rapidly until the Mortal Core's volume shrank from eight to seven.
"Is this the strength of a Late Mortal Core warrior?
Late Mortal Core warrior, this is the true Mortal Core warrior … "
After dispersing the Blood Refining Qi skill, the underground city finally returned to its original state.
However, the current situation was that besides the leader, everyone from the Scarlet Blood Religion was dead!
The ground was filled with dried corpses. This kind of scene was really terrifying.
Long Chen and the Scarlet Blood Religion leader stood on one side of the blood pool. On the other side, he and Li Cheng went to save the girls, while Li Jing saved Yang Lingqing from the iron pillar and regrouped with the others.
Although such a huge change had occurred, everyone's hearts were still heavy.
Because, the Scarlet Blood Religion leader, who was the strongest among them, was still unharmed.
Long Chen's skill, Blood Refining Qi, could only be used against Dragon Vein warriors. As for Mortal Core warriors like Granny Huang, without Li Jing's attack, they would be able to withstand it easily.
As for the Scarlet Blood Religion leader, although it would restrict his movements, it wouldn't be able to hurt him.
This Blood Refining Qi skill was different from the previous ones. Long Chen had only used it at a critical moment. Different from the previous Blood Refining Qi skill, this skill was used in a large area!
Although this move was still essentially refining blood into Qi, it had a new name — Devouring World of Blood!
At this moment, the Scarlet Blood Religion leader's eyes were filled with blood as he looked at Long Chen.
"This time, all of you will die!"
