Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Blood Beast

The blood-colored tendrils coming straight at him registered in Shi Feng’s senses as an overpowering force, not even he could contend with. His figure hastily flashed forward, dodging past it, while the blood-colored tendrils went straight through the afterimage left by Shi Feng in the void and the desiccated corpse of Lingg Sa.

Then, the ground erupted repeatedly with intense booms, as thick blood-colored tendrils kept burrowing out from beneath the earth; at the same time, massive blood-colored pillars, as thick as water barrels, shot skyward.

Amid the dense rain of blood-colored light pillars and tendrils, Shi Feng dodged repeatedly. The blood-colored light pillars were one thing, but the densely packed blood-colored tendrils, as if they had eyes, chased after Shi Feng wildly. Several times, Shi Feng narrowly escaped being struck by these tendrils.

At that moment, Shi Feng finally landed in a blood-colored mire, picked up a Jade Gourd from the blood-soaked soil, and broke through the airspace above with great speed.

"ROAR!" Just then, a beast-like roar echoed across the heavens and earth. Within the Blood-colored Jungle, it seemed as though a blood-colored little mountain rose from the earth. Many giant blood-colored trees toppled over, and soon, the gigantic blood-colored creature revealed its face.

It was a creature as large as a small mountain, with thousands upon thousands of dense, thick, and long blood-colored tendrils on its back, resembling tentacles, swinging and swirling through the void. Its body was also covered with dense, lantern-like blood-colored eyes, from which bursts of thick blood-colored light were emitted, forming the center point from which many blood-colored giant trees continuously fell, and blood-colored lights crisscrossed through the void.

At that moment, the numerous blood-colored eyeballs on the creature shifted, all focusing on a dark figure in the void. Then, from the thousands of blood-colored eyeballs, bursts of thick blood-colored light surged forth, forming a dense blood-colored light barrier that rapidly enveloped the dark figure in the void.

Escaping through the space-breaking technique, Shi Feng sensed the immense waves of energy behind him, turned around abruptly, and saw the massive blood-colored light barrier coming towards him. His eyes widened, his face covered in horror, "Damn it!"

Shi Feng cursed loudly, turned around, and while his body was still rapidly flying backward, he erupted in a Blood-colored Blaze all around him, and billowing Corrosive Gray Mist gushed out furiously. In his hand, the Bloodthirsty Sword also erupted with fiery flames, with wisps of bone-white electric current running through the blood-colored flames.

The blood-colored light barrier swept over towards Shi Feng in an instant, and under it, the Corrosive Gray Mist quickly dispersed tracelessly. Soon after, Shi Feng, who was rapidly flying backward, was quickly overtaken by the blood-colored light barrier, his whole body impacted by it.

"Ah!" Shi Feng let out a painful howl. Within the blood-colored light barrier, he seemed as if he would be torn apart by the impact. The blood-colored flames on his body had already been blown away. Clutching a handful of Healing Pills, he desperately stuffed them into his mouth.

"Nine Nether stands unbroken, eternally enduring!" Shi Feng shouted. His clothes were now completely torn, his skin torn apart by the impact, covered in blood, and his flesh blurred. His crimson bones were exposed, and every time his flesh managed to heal a bit using the Nine Nether Technique, it would be torn apart again by the impact. Gritting his teeth, he endured the extreme pain, keeping himself indestructible.

"Ah! I shall not perish!" Shi Feng shouted once more, forcing his will to stay clear under this excruciating pain. If he passed out, it would all be over.

His blurry body continued to endure the fierce energy impact of the blood-colored light barrier, kept on flying backward. Under such extreme pain, Shi Feng himself didn’t know how long he had gritted his teeth, or how far he had been thrown backward. When he sensed he was out of the blood-colored light barrier, Shi Feng felt a sudden lightness. Instantly, his consciousness receded like a tide from his mind, and his bloodied and blurry body plummeted towards the ground, "Thump!" landing in a dense part of the Blood-colored Jungle.

...

"Ah!" In the Blood-colored Jungle, a young girl’s scream suddenly rang out.

A delicate-faced girl in a red dress, around seventeen or eighteen years old, was walking through the Blood-colored Jungle when she suddenly saw a mass of blood-colored material falling from the sky right in front of her, landing just at her feet.

The girl looked down at the bloody mess, screamed, and stepped back repeatedly until she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"What’s wrong, junior sister?" At that moment, a pleasing voice came from not far from the girl, followed by another woman in a red dress, slightly older and equally charming, around twenty years old, emerging from the jungle behind and walking towards her.

"Sis...senior sister...ghost..." the girl trembled, pointing at the bloody mass ahead, with a trembling voice.

"You silly girl, what’s there to fear about a ghost? We from the Yin Ghost Sect have seen our fair share of ghosts," the woman said as she continued walking forward and soon reached the girl crouching on the ground, following the girl’s pointed direction to see the bloody mass.

Upon seeing the object, the woman also sharply inhaled; it indeed looked terrifying. She then noticed the blood-stained long sword in the hands of the mangled mess.

"Girl, this is a person. I don’t know what happened to him or how he ended up so injured," the woman in red said as she walked over to the bloody mass, crouched down, and checked his breathing.

"He’s still breathing, junior sister, throw me the Healing Pills," the woman in red turned her head and spoke to the younger girl.

"Ah! Senior sister, that’s a person?" the younger girl, upon hearing her senior sister’s words, showed a surprised expression on her adorable face and then climbed up from the ground, patted her bottom, walked forward, and when she reached her senior sister’s side, took out a Jade Bottle from her Storage Ring and handed it over.

The woman in red took the Jade Bottle, poured out a red Healing Pill, crouched down, and fed it into the mouth of the bloody mess.

"Junior sister, water!" said the woman in red.

"Oh, okay, senior sister," the younger girl nodded, then took a water bottle out of her Storage Ring and handed it over, which the woman in red received and then poured into the mouth of the bloody figure.

"Senior sister, she’s in such a state, can she still be saved?" the young girl in red turned her head and asked her senior sister.

"Let’s leave it at this; we’ve met by chance and have done what we could. Whether she lives or dies is up to her own fate," the woman in red replied.

"But... we can’t just leave her be, can we? We’ve encountered several demon beasts up ahead. If we leave her here and a demon beast comes along and eats her, what do we do?" the naive young girl in red looked at the bloody mess, her small face full of worry.
