Chapter 550: Attack
"Master, the one in the middle of the four islands surrounded by blood mist is Blood Cloud Island. The three islands surrounding it are Blood Nether, Blood Phantom, and Blood Skull. Blood Cloud Island has always been ruled by the Great Elder Hou Li and the Second Elder Luan Shirong, while Blood Nether, Blood Phantom, and Blood Bone are ruled by three elders, Tu Liao and others. However, Tu Liao and his men have been killed, and now no one knows who is in control of the three islands of Blood Nether, Blood Phantom, and Blood Bone.
There are Blood Prison Formations on the three islands including Xueming. When the three Blood Prison Formations are combined, they evolve into the Three Absolute Blood Claw Formations, which can transform into three blood claws to guard the three sides. The power of each claw is not inferior to that of a quasi-true immortal, and when all three claws are out together, they have the power of a true immortal.
This is the second line of defense for Blood Cloud Island. The first line of defense is the more than 100 islands scattered around. However, those islands are no longer a threat to us and can be ignored. The Four Symbols Blood Demon Formation on Blood Cloud Fairy Island is the third line of defense for Blood Cloud Island.
The disciples had never seen the Four Blood Demon Formation activated, but several elders had mentioned that once it was activated, it could summon and condense four blood demons. Each blood demon was comparable to a quasi-true immortal, and if the four blood demons attacked together, even a first-grade true immortal could be trapped inside. "Xiong Xiaoli stood behind Qin Ziling, pointing to the four islands in the distance that were filled with blood and introduced them.
"I wonder how many lives the old demon Xueyun has sacrificed for these magic arrays!" Qin Ziling said calmly, but an extremely cold aura emanated from his body.
Xiong Xiaoli lowered his head and remained silent when he heard this.
He used to be the guardian of Blood Cloud Island. Although he was untainted by the world, sometimes his hands were inevitably stained with the blood of innocent people.
"Who are you? This is the territory of Blood Cloud Fairy Island. You must leave quickly, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!" Soon, a patrol soldier riding on a ferocious bird discovered that the Sky-piercing Fairy Shuttle was flying straight towards the Blood Cloud Fairy Island without any pause, and he immediately came up to it and shouted loudly.
As he shouted, a sword had already flown out, emitting cold light, pointing at the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle in the distance.
"Get him!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Yes!" Xiong Xiaoli took the order and stepped out of the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle. He raised his hand towards the sky, and a big palm condensed in the void, grabbing the three patrol soldiers riding on ferocious birds in the distance.
Xiong Xiaoli is now a late-stage earth immortal. Those three patrolmen are merely great mystical masters. How could they possibly be his match?
As the giant palm fell, it grabbed the three patrolmen and the ferocious bird under him like an eagle catching a chick, then placed a ban on them, directly imprisoning their magic power, and threw them into the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle.
The patrolmen who were about to charge forward were so frightened that they immediately retreated. One of the leaders in the Jindan stage trembled all over and screamed, "It's the bear guardian!"
"That's right, it's me! I have turned over a new leaf and joined the sect of Master Qin Ziling. You all should surrender immediately, and I can even help plead for you." Xiong Xiaoli said loudly, his voice echoing between heaven and earth.
"Oh no, it's Qin Ziling. It's Qingyun Fairy Island that's coming to attack our Xueyun Fairy Island!" Everyone's faces changed drastically when they heard this, and dazzling signals shot up into the sky.
Then, alarm bells rang one after another on each island.
"Qingyun Fairy Island is coming to attack us!"
"The Immortal Qin is here!"
As the news spread, many islands fell into chaos.
Even the people on the four islands of Xueyun, Xueming, Xueyou and Xuegu started to feel their hearts pounding when they heard the news.
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
The truth was that half a year ago, Qin Ziling led his men to kill many people in succession, even killing Xue Yun, and he had already become notorious.
Even though Qin Ziling is not a true immortal, in the eyes of many people, he is actually a powerful figure who can be compared with true immortals such as Fukong and Nanli.
Over the past six months, the four main islands including the Blood Cloud Fairy Island have been shrouded in blood mist every day. The great formation is always on alert. The earth immortals and guardians of the Blood Cloud Fairy Island are not allowed to go out. In fact, they are mainly on guard against Qin Ziling and the Qingyun Fairy Island.
However, most people still believe that Qin Ziling will not take the initiative to lead people to attack the Blood Cloud Fairy Island.
Because half a year ago he killed Xueyun mainly by relying on the formation, and they suffered heavy losses in that battle.
As a result, they didn't expect that only half a year had passed and Qin Ziling actually brought people to attack Blood Cloud Island.
Suddenly, the shadow of the battle half a year ago enveloped the Blood Cloud Fairy Island and the surrounding islands.
The huge Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle, as big as a battleship, roared and flew low over the affiliated islands of the Blood Cloud Immortal Island. The powerful aura released from the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle frightened the people on the affiliated islands so much that they dared not even breathe. Some of them even lay on the ground, not daring to move, for fear that any unusual movement would cause Qin Xianren, whose notoriety was comparable to that of the Blood Cloud Ancestor, to misunderstand him. He would then send a mountain surrounded by wind and thunder to smash down on them, taking their lives directly.
After the battle on Qingyun Fairy Island, the name of Qin Ziling's Wind and Thunder Mountain Seal became widely known.
It was not until the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle flew past overhead that the monks on the island breathed a sigh of relief.
"I never thought that Qingyun Fairy Island would dare to attack Xueyun Fairy Island!"
"Yes, our Blood Cloud, Blood Dark, Blood Nether, and Blood Bone are all protected by powerful formations. Qin Ziling actually dared to bring people to attack. Isn't he afraid of repeating the mistakes of our ancestors?"
"Yeah, and he's not even a real immortal yet!"
"That's true, but Qin Xianren has never been defeated since his rise to power. He even wins unexpectedly every time. How could he not be confident when he dares to bring people to attack Blood Cloud Fairy Island this time?"
"What you said makes sense. What should we do if Immortal Qin is attacking Blood Cloud Fairy Island?"
"What else can we do? Our cultivation is low, and our foundation is here, so we naturally choose to surrender."
"I heard that Qin Xianren is a man who values friendship. When he saw Lian Changfeng was pitiful, he took him in, accepted him as his disciple, and helped him become the island master. And it is said that he clashed with Duanmusong in order to protect a female subordinate. Maybe, if he attacks the Blood Cloud Fairy Island, it will be an opportunity for us. At least it won't be worse than it is now!"
"Hush, that's not something you can say right now!"
When the cultivators on the islands under the jurisdiction of the Blood Cloud Fairy Island saw that a great war was about to break out and their minds were agitated, the Sky-piercing Fairy Shuttle had already flown across the islands without any concealment and was quickly approaching the Blood Nether Island where Tu Liao had been stationed in the past.
On Xueming Island, under each mountain peak, there are blood-colored chains crisscrossing and connecting them together.
Runes emitting a strange and evil aura were engraved on the blood-red chain.
All the blood chains gathered in a huge blood pool under the Xueming Palace on Xueming Island.
In the middle of the blood pool there is a small blood crystal island made entirely of essence and blood.
This blood crystal island is three acres in radius and is engraved with runes. Three earth immortals in the infant immortal realm are sitting cross-legged on it.
The three earthly immortals suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood towards the runes in front of them, and then continued to make hand gestures and mutter to themselves.
Suddenly, the runes lit up, the blood pool boiled, and the bright red blood spread in all directions along the blood chains.
In the blink of an eye, torrents of blood gushed out from the mountain peaks, gathering above the Blood Cloud Island and forming a huge pool of blood in the void.
The blood pool was gurgling and blood was steaming.
Chains of blood crisscrossed in the void. All kinds of ferocious beasts and evil spirits came and went between the criss-crossing blood chains, making soul-stirring calls. Huge blood claws stretched out from the blood pool, and blood kept rolling down along the claws.
The wind was howling and the sky was dark and bloody.
At this moment, Xueming Island has become a hell on earth.
An earth immortal in the middle stage of the Immortal Infant flew out of the Blood Prison Formation.
"Xiong Xiaoli, how dare you betray our ancestor!" The earthly immortal pointed at Xiong Xiaoli, who was leading the way, and accused him harshly.
"Haha, what ancestor? He's nothing but an old devil! He has slaughtered countless lives for his own benefit. Unfortunately, I am weak and have to submit to him. Now I have met my master and finally escaped from his clutches. This is a great opportunity for me. Cai Huan, if you turn against your own side and make up for your crime, I can spare your life when my master captures the Blood Cloud Fairy Island. Otherwise, it will be too late for you to beg for mercy!" Xiong Xiaoli stepped forward and raised his voice.
"Haha, Xiong Xiaoli, are you out of your mind? Do you think you can capture the Blood Cloud Fairy Island with just your people?" Cai Huan laughed wildly when he heard this.
"Hmph, you are still stubborn. You can't blame me then!" Xiong Xiaoli took another step forward and pointed his hand at Cai Huan. A big knife flew out and chopped at Cai Huan.
There was a large formation behind Cai Huan. Seeing that it was only Xiong Xiaoli, he was not afraid. He raised a flying sword into the sky and met the big knife.
"Haha!" Xiong Xiaoli laughed out loud when he saw this, and his aura suddenly surged.
The big knife in the air also suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling light, slashing through the void, and even made a sonic boom sound. The speed was so fast, the power was so fierce, and the blade was so sharp that even the void seemed to be split in half at once.
"Late stage of Immortal Infant!"
Cai Huan's face changed drastically.
“Dang! Dang!”
Swords clashed and sparks flew.
The flying sword was chopped down by the big knife in two strikes, its light faded and it flew backwards.
The broadsword followed closely behind.
Cai Huan's face turned pale and he retreated rapidly.
With this strike, the difference in strength between the two sides was immediately apparent.
Xiong Xiaoli’s strength is no less than that of the elders of the Blood Cloud Fairy Island, while Cai Huan is only in the middle stage of the Fairy Infant.
"Whoosh!" A blood-red chain whizzed out from the Blood Prison Formation behind Cai Huan.
"when!"
The bloody chain swung onto the broadsword.
The bloody chain broke with a sound, and turned into blood rain.
The broadsword paused slightly in the air, and Cai Huan took the opportunity to transform himself and his sword into a ray of rainbow light and escape back to Xueming Island.
"Activate the formation with all your strength! Activate the formation with all your strength! Immediately notify Xueyou and Xuegu islands to immediately activate the Blood Prison formation with all their strength and jointly set up the Three Absolute Blood Claws formation!" Cai Huan shouted with a pale face as he escaped back to Xueming Island.
Xiong Xiaoli's strength used to be only slightly stronger than his, but now he has made great progress and is no less powerful than Tu Liao back then. Cai Huan has already smelled a strong scent of danger.
