Chapter 342: Triple Blood Burning_2
"What are you standing there for, kid? Did you hear what I said?"
Lord Taishan impatiently cursed, "If you don't make any progress next time, don't bother coming to see me with a thick face."
"Thank you for your guidance, elder."
Chen Sansi expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
No matter how this person behaves now, if he is willing to teach others sincerely, he is undoubtedly a top-notch mentor.
"Get out, out, out, spare me this nonsense."
Lord Taishan waved his hand to dismiss him, adding, "By the way, don't forget what you promised me! And the Ma Lucao, send it to me as soon as possible!"
"Rest assured, elder, I will not go back on my word."
Chen Sansi clasped his fists in farewell.
Watching him leave, Mu Chutai stared blankly while holding a wine gourd, and after a moment, took a harsh gulp.
...
"Mingquan Lake."
Outside Dragon Elephant City, in a mortal village.
Tavern.
A map of Chaotic Wilderness Yongzhou unfolded before Chen Sansi, and by his side were Dongfang Jingxing and Deng Wuchang.
This Mingquan Lake area is indeed demon cultivator territory.
Those captured daoists, eight or nine out of ten, are likely imprisoned in the nearby city.
The demon cultivator city also has a city protection array, getting in is easy, but if you cause any disturbance and then try to escape, it becomes difficult.
"Your Majesty."
Deng Wuchang, chewing on dog-tail grass, suggested, "Why not dispatch more personnel over there?"
"No."
Chen Sansi rejected the proposal, "Being in their territory, the more people just means more trouble; this matter doesn't require you two, I'll find a way myself."
If all else fails, just abandon the rescue and aim to earn a hundred Copper Coins.
The main concern is someone lurking to shoot cold arrows from the shadows.
"Your Majesty, there's something else that hasn't been reported."
Dongfang Jingxing said, "Two days ago, people from the Demon Slaying Sect sent word. A daoist named Shangguan Siheng wishes to see Your Majesty, claiming to have important matters to discuss."
After the affairs in Beiyang Dao concluded, Chen Sansi and Shangguan parted, but over the years, they occasionally exchanged letters for discretion.
The other party is unaware of his current identity as "Lu Shengzhi," but has heard of him in Si Xue Dao.
"They came here too?"
Chen Sansi nodded.
It's heard that there are Demon Slaying Sect individuals at the Demon-slaying Great Wall; these folks truly are everywhere.
He thought for a moment, and said, "We'll deal with their matter after I return from Mingquan Lake."
"As you command!"
"..."
Chen Sansi returned to Dragon Elephant City, preparing for the final arrangements.
In the clouds, he formed hand seals, practicing once more the Blood Burning Technique learned from Lord Taishan.
With the appearance of a crimson eight-trigram Dharma Seal on his chest, the essence blood within Chen Sansi began to deplete, burning in his Dantian and transforming into special mana, augmenting the flying sword under his feet, doubling his escape speed.
Even though continuous burning of essence blood causes his state to gradually weaken, he endures by taking elixir pills until mastering the technique thoroughly.
[Skill: Sky Control (small achievement)]
[Progress: 0/2000]
[Utility: Triple Blood Burning]
[Triple Blood Burning: Upon enlightenment while practicing Sky Control Technique, successfully fused Wind-splitting Seal with Blood Burning Technique, blood burning thrice, chasing stars and stepping on the moon!]
Chasing stars and stepping on the moon!
Wind-splitting Seal doubles the burning of mana, while Triple Blood Burning naturally doubles the burning of essence blood!
Chen Sansi tested it on the spot.
In an instant, he felt as if a demon cultivator was grabbing his throat and draining his blood.
Yet simultaneously, Chen Sansi's speed soared, with mountains and rivers beneath him blurring completely, and the only sound left in his ears was the sharp whistling of the gale as he almost transformed into a golden light of escape.
The speed...
Even a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator absolutely cannot catch up.
Moreover, currently, there are no Nascent Soul cultivators participating in Dragon Elephant City, meaning that as long as he avoids encirclement, Chen Sansi is very likely to escape unharmed.
The only flaw of this Triple Blood Burning is its massive energy consumption!
In just this short while, he felt that half of the essence blood inside him had been drained. Thus, he quickly returned to normal speed, while continuously stuffing several essence-nurturing elixir pills into his mouth.
If he could kill the enemies, why would he need to cultivate this escape magic skill?
Thinking of this, Chen Sansi couldn't help but feel a bit depressed.
Currently, the situation on Su Xuedao is getting increasingly chaotic. Even with the assistance of the Emperor's Breath Soil, his cultivation speed is still somewhat slow.
If necessary, he might have to resort to some unconventional ancient pill recipes obtained in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land to speed things up.
Returning to the vicinity of Dragon Elephant City, Chen Sansi saw batches of cultivators pouring towards the direction of Star Peak Mountain.
It is said that last night, two Golden Core cultivators teamed up to head to Little Witch Mountain, attempting to retake the mine and form a pincer movement with Dragon Elephant City, but they failed, nearly causing Star Peak Mountain to fall.
Therefore, in the situation where Golden Core cultivators cannot go in person, reclaiming Little Witch Mountain has become a bounty task, handed over to the disciples below to try.
The reward is very generous, a full one thousand copper coins, and if you can kill the resident cultivators inside, the reward can be even higher.
Of course, the corresponding risk is also extremely high.
So far, Chen Sansi is probably not capable of handling it.
Returning to the dojo, he found that the number of copper coins of the leader on the Heavenly Dao Ranking, Loose Cultivator Shen Tuye, had already reached over a thousand.
Even with the help of his senior sister, Chen Sansi only had a total of six hundred, ranking twelfth.
Even Xue Xianrong and others' rankings have reached ninth, over eight hundred coins, with an increasing trend still very strong.
If this continues, Chen Sansi might truly miss out on the Creation Jade Dew, wasting a large amount of time and energy here.
It seems...
He really ought to work hard to try to rescue those collaborators and get the four hundred copper coin reward.
Thinking like this, Chen Sansi returned to the mountain where his cave mansion was, intending to bid farewell to his second senior sister, only to see her disappearing in the distance.
In the direction she was heading, was she going to Star Peak Mountain?
Wait!
Chen Sansi frowned as he noticed several figures shadowing behind the blind woman in the distance.
It was Xue Xianrong's group!
Having received much help from his senior sister recently, he naturally couldn't sit by and do nothing. So he immediately followed them.
"Junior Brother Lu?!"
Lu Zhiyong appeared ahead: "You're in such a hurry, where are you planning to go? I was just about to gather everyone to discuss what we should do after we reach Mingquan Lake."
"Brother Lu can come with me."
Chen Sansi said as he pursued ahead.
...
Under the night sky, beneath the bright moon.
A woman dressed in black stepped on Ice Soul, flying towards Guanghan Immortal Palace.
Beneath her, several figures blended into the darkness, closely following in pursuit.
"Three years, it's been nearly three years!"
Zhang Wuya gritted his teeth and said: "That damned blind woman never gave us any opportunity, but today, we finally caught her alone!"
"Senior Brother Xue."
Song Jing reminded: "This is a great opportunity, we are not far from Star Peak Mountain. As long as we make that female devil reveal her true self, the three Golden Core Elders will soon notice, and then we'll see her try to argue her way out!"
"Rest assured."
Xue Xianrong said in a deep voice: "I have already placed the Moving Mountain Ape, my lifebound spirit beast cultivated secretly for years, on the necessary path ahead.
Once Jiang Xiyue is blocked, we will strike immediately."
"Good!"
"Boom——"
Just as they expected, a thunderous noise erupted from the front.
Beneath the woman traveling through the thunder cloud, a white-haired giant ape, standing at four zhang tall, suddenly soared into the sky, its fists, resembling mountain peaks, fiercely slammed towards her slender frame.
"Clang!"
Ice Soul swung, the two collided.
Under the ambush of such a power-type giant ape, the blind woman was knocked back hundreds of steps before stabilizing her form again.
Simultaneously, Xue Xianrong and others surged forward, surrounding her completely.
Without wasting a word, he took out a wooden box from his bosom, muttering incantations.
As long as the shrine of the Five-way Deity is summoned, it can awaken the devil lurking in her heart, exposing her bloodthirsty nature!
