Chapter 713: Blood Evil Begins, Corpses Lie All Over the Ground
As we went deeper into the heart of Qingming Mountain, the road became increasingly rugged and difficult to travel. The smell of blood in the air became increasingly strong and nauseating.
The disciples of the Righteous Alliance advanced cautiously, each step taken with great composure. They knew that Lin Wei was best at sneak attacks from the shadows, using poison and poison, making her impossible to defend against.
Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the front, followed by the clash of weapons and shouts of terror.
"It's the direction of Dian Cang Sect!" someone shouted.
Taoist Qingsong's expression changed: "Not good! Speed up!"
Everyone immediately quickened their pace and turned a corner. The scene before them made everyone gasp.
Dozens of corpses lay scattered across the ground, their deaths gruesome. Some had been drained of their essence and blood, reduced to mummies; others were blackened, evidently poisoned; others were swollen, with worms faintly visible beneath their skin, evidently poisoned by Gu. Their deaths were horrific. Among the dead were casual cultivators in various attire, as well as several disciples of the Dian Cang Sect.
And in the middle of the corpses, stood a slender figure.
It was a woman, seemingly no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. Her emerald green leather armor and triangle leather shorts outlined her graceful yet powerful curves. Her face was extremely beautiful, even stunning, with skin as white as snow and features as picturesque as a painting. However, her eyes were a cold crimson, and a faint, cruel smile lingered at the corners of her mouth. A frightening, bloody aura emanated from her.
She held no weapon, simply standing there casually, stepping on a corpse that wasn't yet completely cold. Blood stained her leather armor like a blooming flower of death.
It was the "Blood Witch" Lin Wei!
Around her, there were more than a dozen corpses with similarly miserable deaths. They were obviously some righteous disciples and wandering cultivators who had tried to encircle and suppress her but were killed in return.
"Witch Lin Wei! It's you!" When Lu Da saw the corpse of the Dian Cang Sect disciple on the ground, his eyes were bloodshot. He roared angrily, and with both palms out, he rushed towards Lin Wei with an extremely strong gust of wind.
Lin Wei's eyes were cold, and she didn't even look at him. She just shook her body slightly and disappeared on the spot like a ghost.
"Bang!" Luda's palms missed and hit the ground heavily, gravel flying and leaving two deep palm prints.
"Huh?" Lu Da was stunned. Before he could react, a biting chill came from behind.
"Be careful!" The head of Hengshan, "Master Jingxuan", screamed, and the whisk in her hand flew out, and the silver thread shot towards Lin Wei like lightning.
Lin Wei snorted coldly, not dodging or evading. Her right hand, fingers joined like claws, radiating a faint blood-red glow, she grasped directly at the silver threads of the whisk. Her fingertips collided with the silver threads, creating a clanging sound. Nun Jingxuan felt a chilling, overbearing internal energy emanating from the whisk, numbing her arm and nearly causing her to drop it.
"What a domineering Blood Killing Skill!" Master Jingxuan was shocked and quickly retracted her whisk and retreated quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Wei had passed behind Lu Da and patted him on the back with her left hand seemingly casually.
Lu Da only felt an extremely cold force invading his body instantly, as if countless tiny ice needles were piercing his meridians, accompanied by a strong suction force that seemed to suck away all the blood and essence in his body!
"Ah!" Lu Da roared in pain, turned around, and slapped Lin Wei with his iron palm with all his strength. But his internal energy was blocked, and his strength was much weaker than before.
Lin Wei dodged the attack easily, her figure weaving through the crowd like a ghost. Her speed was so swift that only a trace of shadow remained. Screams echoed everywhere she passed. Though the righteous disciples were numerous, they were like chickens and dogs in front of her, unable to stop them.
Her Tang Clan poison skills had been perfected to perfection, and every move carried the aura of blood and death. Anyone struck by her suffered a chaotic internal energy breakdown, their essence and blood drained, resulting in severe injuries at best, and instant death at worst, a gruesome death. Even more terrifying, she seemed to be able to manipulate tiny, blood-colored insects to silently penetrate the human body, catching them off guard and instantly rendering them incapable of combat.
"Form a formation! Form a formation quickly!" Taoist Qingsong shouted loudly, and at the same time he drew his sword and used Tai Chi sword techniques to try to entangle Lin Wei.
Master Xuanci also moved. He clasped his hands together and chanted a mantra. Behind him, a gigantic Buddha figure appeared, radiating a Buddha's light, attempting to purify the bloody and evil aura from Lin Wei. "Shaolin Arhat Formation!" With a command, dozens of Shaolin disciples quickly formed a formation, wielding long staffs, casting shadows that surrounded Lin Wei.
Masters from all the major sects also took action, using swords and knives, and displaying all kinds of magic weapons. For a moment, the true energy spread and the vigor overflowed, and the entire mountain forest seemed to be stirred.
Lin Wei was surrounded, yet she showed no fear. She raised her head to the heavens and let out a long, shrill cry, filled with endless resentment and madness. The blood-red aura around her grew increasingly intense, her eyes crimson, and she seemed to have transformed into an Asura returned from hell.
"You hypocrites! You talk all about morality and justice, but you're actually selfish and hypocritical!" Lin Wei's voice was icy and chilling, echoing across the battlefield. "Where were you when my entire Lin family was wiped out? Where were you when I was hunted by my enemies and suffered humiliation? Now, you're here to 'enforce justice'? Hahaha... How ridiculous!"
She laughed wildly as she attacked frantically. She pushed her Blood Evil Power to its limit, sending blood-colored energy emanating from everywhere. Wherever it passed, grass withered and rocks changed color. Though the Shaolin Arhat Formation was exquisite, it began to falter under her ferocious attacks. Disciples were repeatedly sent flying, spitting blood, their lives unknown.
"Witch, stop being so arrogant!" Taoist Qingsong shouted angrily, and simplified the Tai Chi sword. He stabbed the sword at Lin Wei's eyebrows. It seemed slow, but it contained infinite changes, blocking all her retreat routes.
Master Xuanci also attacked simultaneously, his "Vajra Palm" striking Lin Wei's back with compassion and authority. The combined might of these two top masters was formidable.
Lin Wei's eyes glared as she felt unprecedented pressure. She suddenly ducked and slammed her right hand to the ground.
"Blood Evil Gu Explosion!"
Following her sharp shout, a subtle crackling sound suddenly erupted from beneath the ground. Immediately afterwards, countless tiny, blood-colored poisonous insects emerged from the ground, spreading like a tide. These insects were extremely corrosive, and once contaminated, clothing and flesh would be instantly corroded.
"Ah! My hand!"
"It's poisonous! Retreat!"
Screams rang out again, and the Arhat Formation was instantly disrupted by the poisonous insects. Xuanci and Qingsong's attacks also missed.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Wei soared into the sky and flew towards the Cliff of Broken Souls.
"Chase! We can't let her get away!" Taoist Qingsong was furious and took the lead in chasing after her. Master Xuanci and others also hurriedly followed.
The group chased all the way to the Cliff of Broken Souls, an extremely steep cliff with swirling clouds and mist below. It was a bottomless pit.
Lin Wei stood at the edge of the cliff, her back to the pursuing righteous people. Her clothes rustled in the mountain breeze, her long black hair flowing. She seemed to be at the end of her strength, panting slightly.
The righteous forces surrounded her, forming the final encirclement. Xuanci, Qingsong, Jingxuan, Li Changkong, Lu Da (who, despite being injured, still persevered), and other top masters stood at the front, their expressions solemn.
They all breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the woman before them, covered in blood and emitting the aura of death. Finally, they had cornered her.
"Lin Wei, you have no way to escape!" Taoist Qingsong held a long sword, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lin Wei, "Put down the butcher knife, and perhaps I can leave you with an intact body!"
Lin Wei slowly turned around, her face expressionless except for her scarlet eyes, which flickered eerily in the dim light like two will-o'-the-wisp flames. She looked at the crowd that had gathered around her, her eyes filled with mockery and... a kind of determination.
"Put down your butcher knife?" she repeated softly, then suddenly burst into a shrill laugh. The sound echoed across the empty cliffside, filled with sadness and madness. "Hahahaha... Put down your butcher knife... You've forced my knife to drink so much blood, how can I put it down?!"
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Xuanci and Qingsong.
"Do you think... you can trap me like this? Do you think... you can kill me after paying such a huge price?"
Her voice was filled with a frightening calm, a terrifying calm.
Master Xuanci looked at her, and the feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He had a vague feeling that things might not end so easily.
