Chapter 807: Chapter 395: Enemy on the Way

Before Jiang Shouzhong could act to intervene, Ran Qingchen had already darted toward the grotesque demon like an arrow leaving its bowstring.

The demon let out a deafening roar.

Its arms, which were originally clutching its head, began to elongate in a twisted and horrifying manner. Veins bulged visibly, and muscles squirmed beneath its skin.

Swish!

The elongated arms whipped through the air, carrying a nauseating stench, aiming fiercely at Ran Qingchen.

Ran Qingchen lightly tapped the tip of her foot, gracefully evading the ferocious attack.

Without delay, her hands moved swiftly, executing her spell-formations like elegant orchids.

Thick black mist, as dark as ink, surged from around her body. These mists intertwined and converged, forming a massive python in an instant.

The black mist python’s eyes gleamed with a blood-red light as it lunged at the demon, coiling tightly around its body.

Amid audible crunching sounds, cracks began to appear across the demon’s body.

Thick blood, as if freshly ladled from Hell’s molten lava, splattered everywhere, dyeing the surroundings a shockingly crimson hue.

However, the splattered blood also corroded and dissolved the black mist python.

As Ran Qingchen grappled with the demon, an eerie red mist had silently begun to envelop the area without anyone noticing.

The mist expanded rapidly, spreading outward and growing increasingly dense.

Soon, it became a heavy, suffocating red curtain, sealing off the entire region tightly.

Several cultivators, who had initially panicked at the sight of the demon and sought to flee, found their vision obstructed by this sudden mist. They lost all sense of direction, scattering aimlessly like disoriented flies.

More horrifyingly, in their disarray, many were accidentally pierced by spikes released by a cactus-like immortal plant. In mere moments, several individuals collapsed into pools of blood.

"Jiang, hurry and go save Ms. Jiang! I’ll assist Ran!"

Qu Hongling rushed toward the demon.

Just as the girl turned away, a sudden gleam of coldness—like lightning—flashed without warning, as a blade streaked fiercely toward her side.

Fortunately, Jiang Shouzhong reacted swiftly. He reached out to grab Qu Hongling and pulled her sharply to safety, narrowly avoiding the abrupt, deadly strike.

Once they regained balance, Qu Hongling finally managed to see her assailant clearly: an emaciated male cultivator.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

Qu Hongling’s voice carried doubt.

In her recollection, she had never crossed paths with this man, let alone had any enmity toward him.

Jiang Shouzhong, however, noticed something peculiar.

He observed the man’s crimson-tinged eyes radiating an unusual aura.

Furthermore, the man’s body trembled subtly at intervals, as if enduring immense pain or struggling fiercely against some invisible force.

"He seems to be under control."

Jiang Shouzhong remarked with a grim expression.

Quickly surveying the area, Jiang Shouzhong noted that anyone contaminated by the eerie red mist displayed reddened eyes and an overwhelming malevolent energy.

It seemed as though they were being consumed by some sinister power, their features twisting into monstrous and terrifying visages.

"Be cautious! This mist is dangerous!"

Jiang Shouzhong warned sternly.

Hearing his words, the others were startled and instinctively covered their mouths and noses, desperate to stave off the mist’s intrusion.

But, it was futile.

The red mist moved as though it possessed a life of its own. Even with mouths and noses covered, it penetrated their skin upon contact, mercilessly invading their bodies and wreaking havoc within.

Those afflicted seemed to lose all reason, their eyes simmering only with madness and bloodlust.

They began to savagely attack their companions around them.

In an instant, blades clashed, screams echoed, and chaos erupted, plunging the scene into utter pandemonium—like a living Hell.

Even Jiang Que did not escape the sinister mist’s reach.

As the mist contacted her for the first time, her eyes swiftly turned crimson. But soon, an apparition of a black Other Shore Flower emerged behind her.

The flower exuded an enigmatic and eerie aura, its petals shimmering with a muted black glow.

As its petals trembled faintly, it radiated waves of invisible energy, forcefully dispersing the nearby red mist, shielding Jiang Que from infection.

This black Other Shore Flower was a gift from the Demon Venerable.

There were three flowers in total.

The other two had been given to Mengniang and Er Liang.

At this moment, aside from Jiang Que, those with higher cultivation were also better able to resist the mist’s effects.

Especially experts like Li Guanshi and Luo Wanqing—they seemed unaffected by the mist’s harm.

Qu Hongling’s circumstances, however, were particularly unique.

When the red mist touched her, it was as though it had encountered its nemesis; it was immediately repelled, creating a strange, mutual rejection.

The young girl appeared largely unaffected by the mist. After swiftly dispatching the mist-controlled attacker in front of her, she hurried toward Ran Qingchen, intent on aiding her in resisting the horrifying demon.

"Why are you here?"

Ran Qingchen furrowed her brows, a trace of displeasure flitting through her eyes.

Qu Hongling, unfazed by Ran Qingchen’s cold demeanor, sweetly replied, "Ran, I’m here to help you."

"I don’t need help. You’ll only be a burden! Get lost!" Ran Qingchen’s tone turned icy.

Before finishing her sentence, she reached out forcefully and shoved Qu Hongling away.

At that moment, an eerie wailing sound erupted behind them—a group of heads shot toward Ran Qingchen like cannonballs.
