Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2107 The Enemy In The Mist
The Bloodsoul Clan could be considered a top-tier clan in the Spring of Sin, and its status was roughly equivalent to that of a high-level clan in Primal Chaos Origin.
This handsome man from the Bloodsoul Clan was called Chi Qingying, and he had combat power in the Ninth Star Region Realm God who was on the verge of perfection.
At the same time, Chi Qingying was one of the outstanding figures who had been sent to annihilate the allied forces of the Divine Dao Protective Clan, and he was one of the peak Saints of the Divine Children.
A Saint pinnacle represented someone who had set foot into the Ninth Star Region Divine Region yet was only a single trace away from setting foot into the Daolord Realm.
As soon as he appeared here, blood-red disciple Chi Qingying had descended onto the corpses around the camp site, and her pale, translucent face was covered with indifference.
He seemed to be completely indifferent to all of that but seemed to be thinking of something as well.
A moment later, the blood red glow from the ancient altar had disappeared, and no more figures appeared here.
Meanwhile, several thousand Dao Defiants gathered behind Chi Qingying. However, their strengths vary. The weakest were only in the Enlightened Divine Ancestor Realm, while the strongest were in the Region God Realm.
A few thousand experts was an enormous power! They formed a dense expanse while their respective auras boiled and dissipated, causing the world to be thrown into chaos.
However, no one dared to make a sound when they stayed by Chi Qingying's side, and their silence made her seem even more extraordinary.
“Our squad just got killed not too long ago. It seems the enemy has entered the territory. ” Chi Qingying rubbed her fair and sharp chin while her delicate expression carried the pride and indifference of someone of high status.
“Kang Yun.”
“Good my master.”
The big three-headed Cerberus passed the other and stepped forward before answering in a low voice. The aura throughout his body condensed while he revealed a capable and alert attitude.
“You led an army from the Cerberus Clan and searched for traces left by the attacker.”
“Iya.” Kang Yun received his orders, and he immediately led all the experts from the Cerberus Clan to transform into black light torrents as they shot towards the entirety of the Mist Forest.
The Cerberus Clan did not possess formidable combat power, but they possessed an unparalleled innate ability to track others down.
“Klan others will split up and follow behind the Cerberus Clan. Kill mercilessly once you see the attacker. ” Chi Qingying gave another order, and then thousands of Dao Defiants rumbled as they departed and spread into the surroundings.
Not long after, only Chi Qingying and the two old men standing by her side remained here.
One of the old men wore a white robe while the other wore a black robe, but both of their appearances were actually exactly the same. They had bronze skin, thick eyebrows, large knuckles, and were engulfed by a bloody tyrannical aura.
They were the descendants of the Bronze Demon Clan, and they were skilled in performing sacrifices, inscriptions, making talismans, seal scriptures, and various other secret techniques.
Chi Qingying walked up to the ancient altar and sat down cross-legged, and she raised her chin with both hands while her handsome and pale face was covered with a smooth and calm expression.
“So, how long can this altar be used again?” Chi Qingying turned her gaze towards the two old men.
“10 days.” The black-robed old man arrived beside the altar, and he carefully sized it up for a moment before he spoke.
“10 days? That's too long. ” Chi Qingying frowned, and then she pulled the white handkerchief to wipe her palm and pondered deeply before she said, “5 days. I will use this altar to teleport to the Slaughter Highlands 5 days from now. ”
“5 days? Impossible!” The black-robed old man frowned and shook his head. He was very clearly aware that the altar energy belonged to the Heaven Dao Order. If the Dao Protector Battle had not started yet, then it was extremely difficult for him to utilize the altar with the abilities he possessed, let alone activate it again within 10 days.
“Oh?” Chi Qingying raised her head slowly as her blood-red gem-like pupils had shot towards the old man, and then an invisible and terrifying pressure stalled out. It was like the space here had turned into a sea of blood, and it showed signs of being on the verge of collapse.
The black-robed old man's expression changed while blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and his figure was on the verge of collapse.
The white-robed old man on the other hand hurriedly said, “Yes my Lord, calm down your anger. 5 days is enough! “
Chi Qingying withdrew her gaze while a charming smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she looked extremely delicate and noble as she said, “Alright, I will wait for the good news from you.”
The white-robed old man instantly sighed in relief in his heart, and then he hesitated before he said, “Yes my Lord, I am, there are conditions that must be met to activate the altar within 5 days time.”
“Speaking.” Chi Qingying replied casually.
The white-robed old man hurriedly said, “The ability of the altar to teleport can be activated if you can bring us the heretic head that entered the Mist Forest so we can offer it as a sacrifice to the altar.”
“It's very simple. I concur. However, are you sure you only need a single heretic head? ” Chi Qingying asked indifferently.
“Is there more than one heretic in the forest?” The white-robed old man was stunned.
“Yes, there are at least about 7.” Chi Qingying spoke casually. “Alright, you two can start working. I left Bloodseal to you two. I'm sure there won't be any accidents that happen to you two while you're here. On the other hand, I .. will pluck some heads. ”
The white-robed old man and the black-robed old man exchanged glances, and then they did not say a word when they started working.
…
In the area covered in layer after layer of mist, Chen Xi's toe was on a vine that coiled around a huge ancient tree, and her slender fingers were touched endlessly. Each film caused the otherworldly sword strands to silently tear apart layer after layer of space and disappear.
Pu's! Pu's! Pu's!
The sound of muffled blood being drawn echoed unceasingly from far away in the forest, and this showed that many Dao Defiants had been caught off guard and killed.
After which, waves of ferocious roars sounded endlessly from all directions, and they were even accompanied by miserable and shrill cries.
Clearly, the Dao Defiants had noticed Chen Xi, and they began to gather. However, they were mercilessly slaughtered by strands of sword qi whenever they arrived 10 km away from Chen Xi.
Those sword qi strands were as if they had eyes or like they were waiting there from the very beginning, and every attack would definitely reap life.
In just a short moment, over 20 corpses had fallen to the ground in an area of about 10 km with Chen Xi in the middle.
At this moment, although Chen Xi remained hidden in the place without moving at all, he was like a king of darkness who mercilessly slaughtered the lives of his enemies who dared to approach.
The command token he possessed was slightly warm while numerous specks of light that looked like star dust endlessly appeared within the Chaotic Marks that represented his Battle ability.
They are roughly divided into 3 colors.
The green spots symbolized the death of the Enlightened Ancestral God Realm Dao Defiant.
The red light spots symbolized the death of a Royal Realm Dao Defiant Kingdom.
The golden specks of light represented the Realm Region God Dao Defiants.
Currently, Chen Xi's command token had 19 green light spots, 6 red light spots, and 4 gold light spots on it.
These light spots are then subdivided into different levels based on the darkness of the colors they reveal. The darker they were, the stronger the cultivation of that slain Dao Defiant was, and vice versa.
Chen Xi simply glanced at all of this before she did not notice it. Even if all the rewards in this battle could be exchanged for rewards once he returned to the outside world.
The cause of Chen Xi's current vigilance was that he noticed strands of dark and evil aura would appear on his body with every Dao Defiant he killed. Although it did not affect his combat power, Chen Xi was very clearly aware that it represented that he was starting to be corrupted by the evil aura within the Heaven Dao Order.
When this aura accumulated to a certain level, then he would have to return to the campground to clear it up, otherwise, it would cause unexpected problems for him in the future.
It was not the worse part because Chen Xi was clearly aware of this before he even participated in the Battle of Dao Protector. The main reason for the vigilance was actually because this evil and dark aura appeared in an all too sudden manner. He did not even notice how exactly it entered his body!
It seems that I have started to be affected by the Order of Heaven Dao here unwittingly …. Chen Xi pondered for quite a while before she made a rough conclusion.
Although he thought in that way, his actions did not slow down or stop at all, and strands upon strands of sword qi charged forward and definitely reaped life.
However, to Chen Xi's surprise, the enemies that appeared here seemed as if they were impossible to annihilate. Not only were there Cerberus and Sin Adjudicators, there were even Spider Spiders, Souleaters, Bloodsucker, Sin Executioners, and various other formidable clans in the Spring of Sin.
Clearly, the altar in the campground from before was a teleportation formation, and it could endlessly teleport Dao Defiants descendants within the Spring of Sin.
This made Chen Xi pout. He roughly determined that the enemy definitely did not only have cannon fodder like the enemy he was facing right now. Perhaps their real experts had yet to appear, but such experts would appear on their own, sooner or later.
The Dao Defiants throughout the Fog Forest who were trying to surround Chen Xi became even more horrified as their enemies looked too terrifying, and any attack from their enemies would definitely rob one of their friends of life. Even until now, they could only determine that the enemy was in the area, yet they were completely incapable of locking the enemy's position or approaching the enemy!
This proves beyond a doubt that they are facing an extremely formidable foe who has an unimaginable ability to hide his tracks.
In their minds, even the strongest Ninth Star Region Lord would only be able to sense enemies within an area of about 6 km within the Mist Forest.
However, their current enemy's senses clearly exceeded that limit as the strands of sword qi darted from deep within the fog. No matter how carefully they tried to avoid it, every single strand of sword qi would still cause the death of one of their friends.
Such a dangerous and shocking situation caused Dao Defiant to stir a wisp of terror in their hearts. It made their movements start to become more cautious, and there were even those who started to send out signals for help or instantly turned around and fled.
After about 8 more Dao Defiants were killed yet no enemies approached him, a hint of danger appeared in Chen Xi's heart. He immediately did not hesitate to turn around and leave his hiding place, and then he chose a direction and flashed.
There were too many enemies when he was unaware of their current state, so he refused to ignore everything and continued killing for the sake of gaining more merit in battle.
Chen Xi was like a wisp of mist moving through the forest, and she ran for about 10 minutes before she suddenly saw an immobile executioner at the bottom of the tree in front of her.
This made Chen Xi's eyes instantly narrow because this person had not been killed by him. In other words, there was another participant from the Dao Dao Protective Clan within the Mist Forest!
