When Nangong Hao saw the power of the small yellow sword, his hesitant expression instantly became firm. His hand movements became even faster. When he saw the small sword floating in front of Hu Tiannan, Nangong Hao's expression became ferocious. He suddenly clenched his teeth and did something that none of the cultivators present expected. He actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
This mouthful of blood was clearly extraordinary. As if it had a mind of its own, it actually made various movements in midair.
"Heart's Blood, Nangong Hao must have gone mad!"
Ever since he used the talisman treasure, Hu Tiannan, who had recovered his True Qi, had been observing Nangong Hao's actions. Now that he saw Nangong Hao spit out a mouthful of Heart's Blood, Hu Tiannan was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out.
Heart's Blood, as the name implied, was the blood essence located in the heart. Blood essence was already very precious, let alone the blood essence located in the heart.
Every drop of Heart's Blood could only be obtained after a cultivator had nurtured and accumulated it for many years.
An ordinary cultivator at the peak of Qi Condensation would not have more than ten mouthfuls of Heart's Blood in their body. Losing a mouthful of Heart's Blood would cause great harm to the cultivator's body. Without a long period of cultivation, it would be impossible to recover.
Now, Nangong Hao was actually willing to sacrifice a mouthful of Heart's Blood to completely activate the power of the Soul Devouring Banner in order to escape the danger before him and allow his fellow sect members to escape. From this, it could be seen how ferocious and tyrannical the Soul Devouring Banner's attack would be. If it weren't for the small sword in his hand and Hui Ming's Golden Bell's protection, Hu Tiannan would have already turned around and fled.
"Go." Nangong Hao didn't care about Hu Tiannan's shock. He pointed at the Heart's Blood in front of him and it immediately merged into the black cloud.
As Nangong Hao's Heart's Blood entered the black cloud, the originally pitch-black black cloud suddenly became a strange black with a hint of red. The originally unclear terrifying roars also became clearer and clearer. An extremely bad feeling inexplicably appeared in Hu Tiannan and Hui Ming's hearts.
"Soul Devouring Evil Spirits, Soul Devouring Evil Spirits, appear!"
A somewhat weak voice suddenly rang out beside the ears of Hu Tiannan and the rest. Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked over. The scene before their eyes instantly caused them to be dumbstruck, unable to speak for a long while.
At this moment, the black cloud and the Soul Devouring Gonfalon had disappeared. What appeared in the place of the black cloud was a human skull. The skull's aura was incomparably gloomy, and the power it emitted was abnormally terrifying. The skull was surrounded by black gas, and a powerful aura was like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of everyone present.
What was even more terrifying was that the eye sockets of the skull were blood-red in color. It was very demonic. An oppressive aura was like a smoke signal that shot straight into the sky. The black clouds that were originally somewhat suppressed by the golden bell suddenly forcefully nailed the golden bell in the air. The surface of the golden bell was also densely covered with black energy that intertwined with the golden bell's own energy.
The sudden appearance of the skull only gave the people present a demonic, evil, and other negative feeling.
Seeing that their Eldest Senior Brother had already used his trump card, the other Netherworld Devil Sect disciples no longer hesitated. Among them, Junior Brother Bai was originally prepared to sacrifice himself to buy time for everyone to activate the Blood Escape Technique. At this moment, seeing Nangong Hao's ferocity, he and a few others also took out escape talismans and used the Blood Escape Technique to escape.
Seeing that his fellow disciples had already escaped far away, Nangong Hao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, Hu Tiannan also softly shouted, "Slash!"
As soon as his voice fell, the bright yellow small sword suddenly shot out like an arrow from a bow. It was faster than the speed of sound, slashing straight towards the black skull. The remaining Limitless Dao Sect disciples also made their moves. A group of cultivators joined forces and attacked Nangong Hao fiercely with their small swords.
Nangong Hao originally wanted to escape immediately when he saw that his fellow disciples had successfully activated the escape technique. However, he couldn't help but feel helpless when he sensed the weakness in his body.
One must know that in order to activate the powerful attack power of the Soul Devouring Banner, he had lost a mouthful of his heart's blood. Coupled with the excessive consumption of his True Qi, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to now. The consumption of his True Qi was a bit too great. He could only wait slowly and think about escaping after catching his breath. He swallowed a few Energy Recovery Pills and began to control the Soul Devouring Banner to resist the attack of the talisman treasure. At the same time, he also had to divert his attention to deal with the attacks of the other Limitless Dao Sect disciples and Hui An. As for Hui Ming, because he had to control the golden bell to deal with the attack of the Soul Devouring Banner, he didn't have time to deal with the escaping Netherworld Devil Sect disciples for the time being.
Although Nangong Hao was holding the Soul Devouring Banner, dealing with so many attacks at the same time in addition to the small sword's attack gradually made him feel a little powerless.
Although he knew that the use of the talisman treasure had a strict time limit, as long as he could hold on until the talisman treasure automatically turned into its original form, he would have a chance to activate the escape technique. However, facing the talisman treasure that even Foundation Establishment cultivators had to retreat, Nangong Hao really didn't have much confidence that he could hold on until the talisman treasure's time was up.
"Pu!!"
In order to save his life, he steeled his heart and spat out a mouthful of heart's blood into the Soul Devouring Banner in his hand. After the Soul Devouring Banner absorbed the heart's blood, its aura suddenly skyrocketed. The skull condensed from the black clouds seemed to have eaten a great tonic. It opened its mouth and spat out a dozen black Qi swords at the menacing bright yellow sword. But Nangong Hao didn't seem to be at ease. After releasing the Qi swords, he continuously formed seals with his hands. The skull's blood-red eye sockets once again emitted two fist-sized red lights that were several times more powerful than before.
In the face of Nangong Hao's series of attacks, Hu Tiannan only smiled lightly.
Then, he formed a seal and lightly shouted three times, "Slash, slash, slash."
The bright yellow sword's body flashed with a brilliant light, and it slashed three times at the incoming attacks. Immediately, three Qi swords fell into the black Qi pillar one after another in the blink of an eye.
The black Qi swords that originally shot over couldn't resist the yellow Qi swords at all. With just one Qi, all of Nangong Hao's Qi swords were cleanly destroyed.
As for the remaining two Qi swords, one went to meet the red light emitted by the skull, and the other went straight to Nangong Hao's head.
Seeing this, Hui Ming also made a gesture, and the golden bell blocked the remaining red light. However, when Hui Ming blocked the red light, a crack appeared on the surface of the golden bell. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood essence again. Although it was not his heart's blood, it made his face even paler because of the blood essence.
Nangong Hao saw that he couldn't do anything. He knew that if he didn't leave, he might die here today. He no longer hesitated and spat out another mouthful of heart's blood. After that, he formed a seal, and the Soul Devouring Banner's black Qi surged again. Nangong Hao used it to block in front of him. He didn't care about the Qi swords flying at him. He activated the blood escape and fled outside the cave.
Just as he activated the blood escape technique, the Qi swords pierced through his body. Nangong Hao spat out another mouthful of Qi swords. His whole body turned into a meteor and drilled into the cave behind him.
Seeing this situation, Hu Tiannan also knew that it was hopeless to chase. Hu Tiannan and Hui Ming also didn't chase after him. Although Nangong Hao was seriously injured, God knows if he was waiting to ambush him.
On the other side, after Luo Xiu saw the scene sent back by the system, the battle between the three sides had stopped. Luo Xiu had no interest in killing the disciples of the Limitless Dao Sect who were still alive. It must be known that the thing they were fighting for was made by Luo Xiu himself.
Luo Xiu was also drunk thinking about it. He didn't know if they would vomit blood after breaking the array and finding that the dragon bone grass that so many people died to snatch was fake.
Along the way, Luo Xiu walked out of the cave while thinking about the scene of those people vomiting blood inside. He couldn't help laughing.
