Chapter 1871: Self-Destruction of the God
As time went on, the battle became more and more brutal. In a blink of an eye, two more people withdrew from the battle. One was the One-Horned Ghost King. He had only broken through to the God Transformation Realm a dozen years ago. His overall strength was slightly worse than that of Xiaoyao Laoxian. He was severely injured by the Bloody Ghost Face. The other was Ming Zhenzi. He was considered to have a relatively strong attack power among the many God Transformation cultivators. However, it was precisely because of his strong attack power that he was targeted by the Bloody Ghost Face, who took the opportunity to seriously injure Ming Zhenzi at the risk of being injured.
On the contrary, Qingyang, who was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, was still insisting on fighting, which made other God Transformation cultivators look at him with new eyes. On the one hand, it was because Qingyang had strong overall strength. Although his cultivation was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, his real strength was stronger than many of the first-level God Transformation cultivators present. On the other hand, it was because he had an extremely rare defensive treasure on him, the Green Lotus Armor of the Lingbao level, which blocked most of the attacks for him, allowing him to persist until now.
By now, there were only seven monks who were still fighting with Bloody Ghost Face, and each of them was injured. Although Bloody Ghost Face was injured, his strength was not affected too much. As a result, Bloody Ghost Face faced less and less pressure, and he actually became more and more courageous.
Everyone was anxious. If this continued, there would be fewer and fewer monks who could continue to fight, and Bloody Ghost Face's chances of winning would become greater and greater. It was estimated that in less than half an hour, all of them would be wiped out. What should they do? Are they really going to die here?
Some of them were smart and had already begun to consider whether to find a chance to escape. Not everyone had the courage to sacrifice for others. Knowing that there was no chance to go to the other world, staying would only lead to death. Who would be willing to stay here and continue to fight? They knew very well that if they let Bloody Ghost Face go, the entire Ancient Continent would be devastated, but what did this have to do with them?
As if the heavens were testing them on purpose, the sloppy Taoist priest next to them let out a scream, and then he flew backwards for more than ten feet, and lay on the ground for a long time without making any sound. It turned out that just now, the bloody ghost face felt that the sloppy Taoist priest was too much of a hindrance, and in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to use a method that only the cultivators of the Refining Void Stage could use to hit the sloppy Taoist priest.
This method is very powerful, but it also requires a lot from the person who performs it. The body of the Xiaoyao old immortal used by the bloody ghost face is only at the stage of transformation of spirit. The risk of using this method will also have a great impact on himself. This almost drained half of his energy, and the effect was of course very obvious, directly making the sloppy Taoist priest, who was the strongest among the cultivators, lose his combat effectiveness.
However, it was precisely because the Bloody Ghost Face was not strong enough that the power of this move was greatly reduced. If it was really used by a cultivator of the Void Refining Sect, it would not only be the sloppy Taoist who would be in trouble. They would probably suffer. Some people were already afraid. Now that they saw the sloppy Taoist leader in trouble, they were even more panicked. Their eyes wandered around and began to look for an opportunity to escape.
Everyone knew that at this point in the battle, unless a miracle happened, they would not have a chance to turn the tables. Even the sloppy Taoist had lost his combat effectiveness. What was the point of them staying? It was better to live than to die. No matter whether the Ancient Wind Continent would suffer a catastrophe, as long as they were careful in the future and did not encounter this Bloody Ghost Face, they could live peacefully for hundreds of years.
Seeing that the hearts of the cultivators were moved, many of them had the intention of retreating on their faces. The whole team was about to fall apart. At this moment, the attack of the Bloody Ghost Face suddenly paused, and then slowed down. Even the power of the attack was greatly weakened, giving people a feeling of lack of strength.
Seeing this, some people felt relieved, finally having a chance to breathe, while others were even more suspicious, wondering if the Bloody Ghost Face was playing hard to get and holding back some big move. But some people vaguely guessed the reason, that the Bloody Ghost Face could not hold on any longer.
This was indeed the case, the Bloody Ghost Face was just a blood shadow formed by the Blood Shadow Divine Art of the main body, with less than one percent of the main body's strength, and the remaining energy was also limited. By this time in the battle, the Bloody Ghost Face's energy had been almost consumed, especially the last big move, which almost exhausted the last bit of the Bloody Ghost Face's energy, so it was normal for him to be weak afterwards.
If the teleportation array was still there, the Bloody Ghost Face's body could still use it to transfer some energy, allowing Blood Shadow to hold on for a little longer. Now that the teleportation array has been destroyed, the body certainly can't bother to transfer energy here, because the difficulty of transferring energy across space is too high. The reason why he didn't hesitate to waste his skills and life to transfer Yu Mengmiao across space last time was because Yu Mengmiao was related to the rise and fall of the Blood Demon Sect. If it was just for a discarded Blood Shadow, it would certainly not be worth it, not to mention that the vitality damaged last time has not been fully recovered.
Although everyone has not figured out the reason why the Bloody Ghost Face is in this state, seeing that the opponent's attack is getting weaker and weaker and can no longer pose a threat to them, everyone gradually stabilized their minds and no longer considered escaping. They are ready to kill the Bloody Ghost Face completely.
As time went by, the blood-red color on the body of Old Immortal Xiaoyao gradually faded, and the remaining energy in the bloody ghost face became less and less. The power of his attack was even inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. His reaction became slower and slower, and he was completely in a passive situation of being beaten. After being hit several times in a row, Old Immortal Xiaoyao's body was already in tatters, and anyone could see that the battle would be over soon.
But at this moment, something strange happened. Immortal Xiaoyao suddenly had a flash of light on his body. The cultivators were shocked. Oh no, this was the Bloody Ghost Face who was going to self-destruct and die with everyone.
The cultivators present were all well-informed. They naturally knew that some cultivators would self-destruct when they were forced into a desperate situation. However, cultivators usually used their own Nascent Soul to self-destruct. They didn't expect that this Bloody Ghost Face, an outsider, could actually control Immortal Xiaoyao's Nascent Soul to self-destruct. It was completely beyond everyone's expectations, so many people were caught off guard.
You have to know that this is the self-explosion of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. It is extremely powerful. Even a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage can be hurt, let alone cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage like them. If they are affected by the self-explosion of the bloody ghost face, it is almost certain death. Everyone could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly used their own means to escape in all directions. Even the sloppy Taoist priest, whose life or death was unknown before, woke up at some point, flew into the air from the ground, and quickly retreated to the rear.
