Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 202: Strange Phenomenon from the Sky, Five-Star Blood Cloud
Clusters of orange signal flames rose toward the sky. But soon, even the signal flames could no longer rise.
A blood-red cloud covered the night sky of Tangjiabao, getting lower and lower...
There was no moon or stars in the sky, and in the end, there was only a sea of blood.
"Blood cloud..." Tang Zheng frowned.
The entire Tangjiabao started moving!
However, Tang Xiaotang and the others also stared blankly at the night sky: "How could it be a blood cloud?"
The blood cloud phenomenon should never appear!
Because only those who are strong enough to be above five stars can create blood clouds.
This blood cloud covered the entire Tang Family Castle. Even a five-star primary-level strongman could not do it. Only a five-star mid-level or above strongman could surge out.
For a warrior, there are three most critical hurdles on the road to star cultivation.
Three stars, five stars, seven stars.
Most people cannot pass the three-star level or pass it poorly. Passing three stars means entering the ranks of the strong in the Xingyao Continent and can begin to learn the secret martial arts that truly use their own constellations.
When one reaches five stars, one can fly into the sky and hide underground. Every move of a five-star strongman can cause strange phenomena to fall from the sky. Not only people, but even the appearance of five-star weapons will cause strange phenomena to fall from the sky.
And the Seven Stars... are the pinnacle of a warrior's practice!
For a seven-star warrior, three hundred years is spring and three hundred years is autumn. They can live for a thousand years. They can turn their hands to make clouds and turn their hands to make rain...
If you really get a great opportunity and continue to move up after passing the seven-star level, you will have the hope of reaching the nine-star level, climbing up the Panlong Tower, obtaining a fiefdom order, and establishing a noble family!
"Could it be that... the blood sacrifice of the ancestor of the Lan family was successful?" The younger generations of Tang Family Castle all stared blankly at the night sky, a feeling of frustration and powerlessness rising from the bottom of their hearts.
They have tried their best...
Tang Zheng, Luo Fei and Hua Yingxiu also tried their best to prepare for the battle.
Was the night they spent at Hidden Blue Villa the last battle of their lives?
"Haha... I will kill one person every 10 steps, and I will leave no trace in a thousand miles..." Tang Zixie suddenly raised his head, "I don't regret it!"
So what if I die?
If I could have a battle like that before I die, my life would be worthwhile!
Just as their frustration was growing, Tang Zheng appeared among them: "Five-star blood cloud?"
"Master!" They turned around immediately.
"Master, have we... failed?"
"The blood formation was successful. We almost wiped out the entire Hidden Blue Villa. How could he still succeed in the blood sacrifice?"
"Are the blood ant poisons we planted not enough to destroy the blood sacrifice..."
The disciples of Tangjiabao felt even more desperate as they watched figures in the tents on the martial arts training ground fly away, dragging three or four bright stars with them.
If the old man of the Lan family is at the peak of four stars, then they might be able to fight with the help of the battle group's formation.
But if the old man of the Lan family is promoted to five stars...
Even if there were ten more four-star warriors, they probably wouldn’t be able to win!
"Of course our sabotage was successful." Tang Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the night sky, "Otherwise, would he have come out today?"
"Huh?" The eyes of the children from Tangjiabao suddenly lit up.
"That's right! He came out of retreat early, which means he...can no longer absorb more blood power from the blood formation!"
"But the five-star blood cloud..." Tang Xuan still looked at the night sky worriedly.
Tang Zheng smiled: "How do we know that it's not because he didn't reach five stars, but because the special effects were added later?"
Tang Xiaotang's eyelids jumped: "Add special effects?"
Tang Zheng stopped talking, his eyes turned cold, and he rushed directly to the main entrance: "Let's see first."
…
The bloody stench filled the entire Tang Family Castle with a nauseating smell.
Tang Ququan's strength had not yet fully recovered, and he was vomiting in the yard. His reaction made the children of Tang Family Castle feel that it was very appropriate for Tang Zheng to arrange for him to activate the formation.
A cloud of blood was enough to cover him, a four-star warrior, without any ability to fight back. How could we expect him to protect Tang Family Castle?
On the contrary, the commanders of the independent regiments were already accustomed to the smell of all kinds of blood, and they were so calm that they ignored the blood cloud covering the sky.
An old man with fluttering robes, his whole body looking like he had been soaked in a pool of blood, descended from the blood cloud.
His eyes seemed to be unable to see anything, and his ears seemed to be unable to hear any sound.
On the constellations behind him, the nine major life palaces all looked turbid.
The entire crescent-shaped constellation, five of the nine life palaces, exuded a dark blood red color, but not the bright color of stars, but a very dark, very dark color...
“Hahahahahahaha, kill one person every ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles, leave after the mission is done, hide your merit and fame.” The old man in the air opened his cloudy eyes and looked down at the entire Tang Family Castle as if nothing happened, “Tang—Zheng—! You, have done good things and left good poems! You… have given my Yinlan Mountain Villa a great gift!”
Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles...
It is really a great gift to Yinlan Villa!
With every word he uttered, a blood arrow would surge out of the blood cloud and fall from the sky.
The leader of the Black Flag Regiment swung his sword, and the sword edge and the blood arrow kept colliding, creating dark red sparks!
"Captain..." Ye Ming, the deputy captain of the Black Flag Regiment, also shot down a blood arrow, but asked inexplicably: "The employer said that he is a five-star?"
“Far from it!” Ye Chu, the leader of the Black Flag Regiment, immediately shook his head. His sword flashed violently, and he raised his breath and went straight up against the wind.
Behind him, Ye Ming, wielding a long spear, followed quickly.
The stars behind the ancestor of the Lan family gradually condensed into a shadow that was three times smaller and fell into his hand. The long sword Yueruo was clenched in his hand like a bright crescent moon, and with a "ding" sound, it collided with the long sword in Ye Chu's hand.
"Four stars?" The Lan family ancestor could only see a vague shadow in front of him, but he couldn't see who it was. "Tang Boyuan?"
Afterwards, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind him, and he turned around abruptly, blocking another attack firmly.
His brows furrowed. "Another four-star?"
The strength of Tangjiabao was completely different from what he knew. Even if Tang Boyuan broke through to four stars in one go, it was impossible for Tang Zhongxing and Tang Shuhong to break through to four stars so quickly.
Ye Chu and Ye Ming's swords crossed and they cooperated seamlessly to firmly suppress the ancestor of the Lan family.
Faced with such an unexpected event, the Lan family ancestor's face was as gloomy as water, and the star power around him surged. He roared: "No matter who it is, they will die! "
Two rays of light like thunder suddenly shot out from his eyes, and the moon-like hook in his hand became brighter and brighter. He took Ye Chu's sword head-on and swept it horizontally.
A circle of dazzling moonlight suddenly bloomed, and Ye Chu blocked with the long sword in his hand, which actually made a crackling sound. He quickly stepped back to relieve the force, but was still hit in the chest by the moonlight, blasting him more than ten meters away, and he almost fell from the air.
Ye Ming, who was not as strong as him and had just advanced to the four-star level two days ago, vomited blood and fell from the sky.
The logistics personnel of the Black Flag Regiment quickly caught Ye Ming, checked his injuries and gave him medicine without saying a word...
The entire independent regiment has a clear division of labor and functions as a whole.
Zheng Qian hid aside with a small notebook, holding a charcoal pencil in his hand, and kept writing.
"His martial arts..." Ye Chu rolled twice in the air, raised his sword forward, and stabbed out.
It was a simple sword, but it condensed a large amount of star power. A flash of lightning appeared at the tip of the sword, and it rushed out, directly passing through the Yue Ru Hook in the hand of the ancestor of the Lan family and hitting him head-on in the chest.
The turbid eyes of the Lan family's ancestor suddenly turned red, and the disciples of the Tang Family Fort below could actually hear the sound of his chest skin cracking!
Ye Chu felt that the situation was even more weird.
If the enemy is a five-star warrior, then there is no way he can succeed with this sword.
But if he wasn't a five-star expert, he wouldn't be able to break the cooperation between him and Ye Ming and eliminate Ye Ming directly...
During the battle, he had no time to think. After a successful strike, he immediately gave chase.
After several attacks and defenses, he and the ancestor of the Lan family fought one-on-one, and gradually he felt that he was unable to hold on alone!
"Too weird..." Li Linfeng, the leader of the Red Fish Regiment, frowned and looked for a long time, then turned around and waved, "Captain Ye, you won't be able to survive for long! Set up a formation and be ready to respond at any time!"
Several ace independent regiments have cooperated on the battlefield more than once and know each other very well.
At Li Linfeng's command, twenty warriors of the Red Fish Regiment mounted their horses. Their helmets were as white as snow, and the sound of their horses' footsteps soon shook the ground.
The Red Fish Group's group combat skills rely on the speed of cavalry combat to win, but the narrow space of Tangjiabao is not very suitable for them to perform. However, Li Linfeng and his men took over very promptly. Just when Ye Chu was once again forced back by the Blue Family Patriarch's attack, the sword lights in their hands gradually formed a resonance...
Twenty snow-white war horses kept accelerating.
And the starlight behind each warrior gradually gathered into a ball.
At first, it sounded like the sound of more than twenty war horses. As they ran, it actually sounded like one horse. Then, a group of starlight rose into the sky, and just when Ye Chu turned around to fight again, it directly enveloped the entire ancestor of the Lan family!
boom……
The surging star power almost caused a turmoil.
The Lan family ancestor spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was flipped in the air, spinning several times: "Who... are you? Why are you helping them?"
"I take money from people and help them get rid of disasters." Ling Yu, the leader of the Flame Regiment, was holding a longbow that looked bigger than his. The bright red flame star behind him seemed to flutter and suddenly stained his arrow feathers...
"Secret martial art, the Flame-killing Flying Dragon Arrow." The Red Fish Regiment, which had just retreated like a tide and was preparing for the next charge, subconsciously shouted as they watched Ling Yu shoot an arrow.
Only warriors above three stars can truly use the stars to fight.
However, the shapeless constellations such as water and fire are the easiest to practice. The feather arrows stained with the original power of the constellations flew through the sky with a "whoosh". Ye Chu heard the familiar sound of the feather arrows and immediately dodged, exposing the throat of the ancestor of the Lan family to Ling Yu's Flame Killing Dragon Arrow!
whoosh!
The three-star peak warrior, with the help of secret martial arts, actually shot an arrow accurately through the throat of the Lan family's ancestor.
Tang Xiaotang and the others were all stunned!
“Ao…Ao…” The old ancestor of the Lan family roared like a beast and quickly took two steps back.
His figure in the air was already somewhat unstable, and the dark red in the five life palaces had disappeared...
However, the five-star blood cloud was still surging in the sky above Tangjiabao.
The blockaded dark night can be seen in every corner of Wulong Town, but the entire Wulong Town is surprisingly quiet, and every door and window is closed for fear of making the slightest sound.
However, just when Tang Xiaotang and the others thought they had succeeded, Tang Zheng shouted, "Captain Ling Yu!"
Before Tang Zheng's voice fell, the ancestor of the Lan family actually pulled the strong arrow out of his throat. Blood spurted out of his throat, but he was completely unaware.
Above the blood cloud, the crazy blood seemed to be pouring into his body. He flipped the arrow and slammed his palm on the Moon Hook in his hand. A dazzling blood light from the martial arts, with a majestic star power, followed the route of the Flame Killing Flying Dragon Arrow and quickly pounced on Ling Yu...
The star power fluctuation that pounced on Ling Yu definitely reached five stars, but Ling Yu's arrow could definitely not kill a five-star strongman. Is the ancestor of the Lan family a five-star strongman?
Tang Xiaotang and the others looked anxious...
"I understand!" Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and uttered four words.
