"My dear granddaughter!"
Just as everyone's attention was on An Ran, a mournful cry echoed in their ears.
The Old Lady was seen collapsing to the ground, wailing, not tears, but fresh red blood flowing out.
"That cursed An Qing, how could I have given birth to such a beast like you!"
She cried out heartbrokenly while beating her chest.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan immediately withdrew, and said playfully, "Do you want to save your granddaughter?"
Hearing this, the Old Lady's crying stopped abruptly, as if clutching at a life-saving straw, she tightly grabbed Fang Yuan's arm and cried, "Save my granddaughter, she is innocent!"
"Stand up and fight alongside me!"
The Old Lady did not doubt him and shakily stood up.
But the next second, her back suddenly sank, and Fang Yuan's excited voice rang in her ear: "Giddy up, charge!"
The Old Lady: "..."
For a moment, she really wanted to die with Fang Yuan.
"Hurry up and charge, if you're late, your granddaughter will be beyond saving."
Fang Yuan waved his long blade, his body constantly shifting on the Old Lady's back.
Everyone's faces were full of black lines; sometimes they really couldn't understand Senior Brother Fang Yuan's thought process.
The Old Lady transformed into an afterimage, ascending against the heavens.
On the other side.
Li Taibai pointed his fingers like a sword, and his spiritual sword flew out from the scabbard on his back, transforming into a sword light that shuttled back and forth between An Qing and the Corpse Demon.
Pfft—
The sword light severed one of An Qing's arms, and fresh blood gushed out. The Corpse Demon beside him pulled An Qing's body and quickly retreated.
It bit its own arm and poured its blood into An Qing's mouth. In a short while, An Qing's arm was seen regrowing.
This was the third time Li Taibai had severed An Qing's body, but each time he was saved by the Corpse Demon.
Fang Yuan, not far away, muttered, "That Corpse Demon wouldn't happen to be his wife, would she?"
Unexpectedly, the Old Lady actually nodded and said, "She is my daughter-in-law."
"My goodness, your family is truly amazing." Fang Yuan gave a thumbs up, then shouted to Li Taibai, "Old Bai, go break the formation, I'll handle this here!"
"Alright."
Li Taibai nodded slightly, retreated to An Ran's side, and using his own spiritual power as a guide, conjured a giant sword that slammed downwards.
"No!"
An Qing's face showed anxiety as he rushed towards An Ran's side.
"Hey, hey, An Mou, you're not giving me much face, are you?"
Fang Yuan twirled his long blade, holding it horizontally in the void.
Bang—
A building below split into two halves.
An Qing was shaken back by the blade energy, and at this moment, the Corpse Demon had already bared its fangs and charged forward, slashing fiercely at the void with its blood-stained claws.
The surrounding air instantly solidified, and ten cracks appeared before Fang Yuan.
"Flash!" Fang Yuan roared.
Without Fang Yuan's reminder, the Old Lady's body moved incredibly fast.
"Mother! What are you doing?!"
An Qing looked at the Old Lady bringing others to deal with him, his eyes filled with anger.
"You unfilial son, look at what you've done?!"
"Devouring people and blood, harming innocent commoners, I don't have a son like you!"
The Old Lady appeared extremely agitated, her voice hoarse and exhausted.
An Qing's face showed mockery, and he sneered, "Mother, if it weren't for me, you would already be a dead person."
"All I've done is to let our family live well, am I wrong?!"
"Bah!" The Old Lady spat, and angrily shouted, "Look at yourselves, neither human nor ghost, what's the point of living?"
"Especially you!" The Old Lady angrily pointed at the Corpse Demon, "If it weren't for you, this monster, meddling, so many people wouldn't have died. Now you even want to turn An Ran into a monster like yourselves, are you still fit to be a mother?!"
The scolding echoed between heaven and earth, everyone looked over, even Qin Hao, who was in battle, curiously raised his head.
"Woo... woo..."
The Corpse Demon made whimpering sounds, seemingly trying to explain desperately, with two lines of blood tears flowing from her eyes.
"Monster, I don't want to hear your explanation!" The Old Lady cursed, then turned her head to look at Fang Yuan, "Daoist priest, please strike them down!"
Fang Yuan was happily watching the show, and hearing the Old Lady's words, he nodded slightly: "Alright, for the sake of your righteousness in eliminating your relatives, I'll help you this once."
As he spoke, Fang Yuan's aura steadily climbed, erupting with all his spiritual power.
On the blade, black flames danced.
A terrifying blade intent shot straight into the sky, all the surrounding gray mist was dispelled, and a phantom of a large blade spanned across the void.
An Qing's heart pounded, and he immediately fled, grabbing the Corpse Demon beside him.
"Slash!!"
A furious roar sounded.
The great blade slammed down.
All the buildings below were destroyed, and black flames covered half the city.
Bang, bang—
Two figures crashed into the deep pit.
At the same time, the formation was forcefully destroyed by Li Taibai, and the surrounding gray mist gradually dispersed.
An Ran, suspended in mid-air, slowly floated down.
Li Taibai was about to reach out to catch her, when suddenly, his heart tightened, and he decisively retreated.
Whoosh—
A tiny blood arrow shot out from the void.
"Hua Xia Sect's Li Taibai, truly lives up to his reputation."
A turbid voice echoed from the void, reaching everyone's ears.
"Who?!"
Fang Yuan quickly jumped off the Old Lady, holding his long blade and looking around.
The next second, a humanoid creature made of blood appeared beside An Ran.
The moment this person appeared, the four disciples of Bi You Sect simultaneously exclaimed, "Blood Demon!"
"Is he very famous?" Huo Sichun asked curiously.
The four disciples' faces were serious, and they nodded solemnly, "A thousand years ago, the Blood Demon wantonly harmed the human world. Wherever he passed, lives were devastated. Later, he was hunted down by various sects, and a world-shaking battle erupted between them."
"At that time, countless cultivators died by his hand. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the Bi You Sect Master personally took action to kill this demon."
"I didn't expect that after more than a thousand years, this person is still alive!"
After listening to the four people's narration, Zhao Mubai and the others' expressions instantly darkened.
But Fang Yuan and the others' eyes lit up, and they immediately relayed the message to Chu Huaian.
"Xian Ge, there's a big boss called the Blood Demon. If we kill it, can the mission reward be increased?"
Xian: "Yes, eliminate the Blood Demon, and each person will be rewarded with 20,000 contribution points."
"The Blood Demon was already at the Yuan Ying Stage a thousand years ago. After such a long period of recuperation, its strength is probably even greater than before. Be careful."
"Remember, to kill the Blood Demon, you must obliterate every drop of blood on its body, otherwise it will come back to life."
Upon receiving Chu Huaian's promise, excitement appeared on their faces.
Fang Yuan waved his hand, "Brothers, time to work!"
The five instantly unleashed their cultivation, their powerful aura breaking through the clouds, dispelling everything around them.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Sun Yiyi and Huo Sichun soared into the sky, Qin Hao cleaved the last wave of Corpse Demons with a single strike, then leaped into the air and landed beside Fang Yuan.
Facing the encirclement of the five, the Blood Demon immediately escaped into An Ran's body.
The next second, An Ran, who had just been sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes, her red pupils flickering with a faint red glow, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"So the so-called sacrifice was nothing but your conspiracy, and the true purpose was to find a host, how hateful!"
Only now did An Qing realize he had been deceived by the Blood Demon, not only destroying Qing Shi Town but also involving his entire family.
In an instant, an overwhelming hatred filled his heart, and disregarding his severe injuries, he rushed out of the deep pit and charged towards the Blood Demon.
"Give me back my daughter!"
But someone was faster than him, to be precise, it was the Corpse Demon beside him.
Facing the Corpse Demon charging at extreme speed, the Blood Demon's eyes showed disdain, and she coldly snorted, "Your power was given by me. To try to devour your master is a very foolish thing."
As she spoke, she slowly raised her arm, then clenched it tightly.
Bang—
The Corpse Demon and An Qing exploded simultaneously, turning into a sky full of blood mist that drifted in all directions.
"My children!"
Watching the couple turn to dust, the Old Lady's face was filled with grief, and she rushed towards the Blood Demon like a madwoman.
"Second Grandmother, you can go with them too."
The Blood Demon said, with two lines of blood tears flowing from her eyes, then clenched her five fingers tightly.
Bang—
The Old Lady exploded into pieces, blood mixed with flesh scattered all over the ground.
Fang Yuan's eyelids twitched, and his gaze gradually solidified.
This was a comrade who had fought alongside him!
"Damn it, you killed my comrade, but have you asked if the blade in my hand is sharp?!"
