Chapter 304: Clash of Red and Black (3k)
The rain intensified slightly, hitting the small street with a “bang bang” sound. Under the eaves, the gurgling accumulated water was suddenly kicked up, splashing everywhere. A black figure darted through, occasionally illuminated by the light of mobile phones.
“Is there about fifteen minutes left? I can only take the side path to the rear and see if I can stop the sacrifice… There are too many mixed auras ahead, it’s people from the Ancient God Sect!”
Instantly, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the Ancient God Sect Bishop in the distant sky, who seemed to be fighting with three other Battle Kings. She silently summoned E Huo, casually made a small sword flourish, and the brilliance of her long sword in the rainy night felt even more chilling.
Su Jiu knew that facing the Black-clad Bishop head-on would not only prevent her from saving anyone, but she might also die. The best way was to approach from the flank to rescue them.
Time waits for no one!
…
A few Ancient God Sect disciples on watch chatted idly, passing the time, their voices particularly noisy amidst the sound of the scattered rain.
For disciples of their lowest rank, coming in was merely for various benefits, hoping that one day they could become War General Level through means like blood sacrifice, then return home with honor and be admired by all.
“Old Mo, I haven’t been home in decades, I’ve been working in the sect.” Suddenly, under the eaves, a middle-aged disciple looked at the drizzling rain outside and sighed with an indescribable tone.
He remembered one winter, his girlfriend ran off with an Advanced Stage Warrior. Unable to bear it any longer, in a fit of rage, he killed her entire family and used it as his pledge of allegiance, entering the Ancient God Sect through connections.
It was precisely because of the Ancient God Sect’s blood sacrifice and cultivation that he, with a D-class bloodline, was able to reach the Advanced Stage Warrior level today. He didn’t regret joining the Ancient God Sect, he just felt a bit regretful.
“Heh heh, after this blood sacrifice is completed, you will also reach the War General Level. At that time, kill everyone around that brat.”
The disciple beside him chuckled slightly, his gaze slightly raised as he looked at the blood-red pillar of light in the sky, his eyes filled with longing.
“Not to mention, I’m also sort of missing my wife back home. After this blood sacrifice of those blood pigs, I’ll ask Master Ying to let me go home.”
“Haha, don’t think about it, your wife has definitely run off.”
“Damn it, can’t you wish me well?”
“Tsk, you were just done playing with a high school student you ransacked, and now you’ve forgotten? You’re being sentimental again.”
“That cheap girl was crying and making a fuss, I just wanted her to listen a bit.”
“Did you take her to Bishop? Heh heh, I want to try too…”
“Nonsense, I don’t want to be eaten by Bishop. I’ll let you try again when I ransack some new good stuff later.”
The few of them became more energetic as they spoke. A pair of blood-red pupils rapidly approached in the distance. They didn’t even notice when a figure suddenly swooped behind them.
The person had slightly damp, shoulder-length green silk hair, a faint chill on her delicate, cold face, and held a three-foot long green sword. The green sword moved at an unhurried pace towards the street entrance guarded by the few people.
It was Su Jiu, who had already arrived.
“Stop! You dare to intrude when the Ancient God Sect is conducting business?”
Old Mo, who was in the lead, felt a shock in his heart as he discovered Su Jiu suddenly appearing behind him and his companion. He quickly shouted out a reprimand.
Su Jiu didn’t speak, continuing to dart towards the street entrance inside. Then, she subtly moved the sleeve of her arm.
“Ching!”
A faint, crimson sword light flashed past!
Old Mo, who had spoken first, felt his heart skip a beat, and then he was unable to draw a breath. He stretched out his hand, but it finally fell powerlessly.
With one step forward! The person had already fallen to the ground dead!
“Someone…”
When the others saw this, their hearts pounded wildly. They quickly wanted to report the current situation inside, but they were met with another sweeping sword light, which directly split them in half.
“You dare to intrude on our Ancient God Sect’s blood sacrifice, you’re courting death!”
Soon, an Ancient God Sect Shadow on guard noticed something was wrong. It transformed into a black afterimage, its dagger emitting faint chills, stabbing directly at Su Jiu’s neck. The attack was extremely vicious.
“Scram!”
Just as the person was about to approach Su Jiu, the latter didn’t stop running. She merely flicked her sleeve forcefully. It was like a blood-red streamer shot out, and the rainy night was instantly illuminated by the bloodlight.
“Plop!”
The Ancient God Sect Shadow was pierced through by the crimson streamer, its eyes losing their divine light. Then, its body heavily fell to the ground.
Glancing at the giant red beam of light in the sky, Su Jiu’s steps didn’t pause at all. She knew she had to hurry.
In the silent small street, the girl in black robes moved swiftly. Her blood-red long sword was extremely eye-catching in the dark night, but there was no one on the street to notice her presence except for a few black shadows.
Those black shadows hid in the darkness, silently observing, their gazes radiating malice, as if they would swarm forward and tear the girl to shreds if Su Jiu made another move.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many Ancient God Sect disciples in such a small alley. I can’t let them go back to report.”
However, a hint of killing intent flashed in Su Jiu’s eyes. Then, wisps of blood energy emanated from her long sword. With a blank expression, she swung her sleeves up and down, and streams of crimson sword energy were rapidly unleashed.
In the black night, infinite crimson slashes erupted. The clash of red and black seemed to reach its climax in advance.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
Although the black shadows were initially watching Su Jiu with mocking eyes, their eyes were soon completely covered by the sudden blood-colored sword energy. They were annihilated by this sword energy without even a chance to beg for mercy.
The sound of splashing water continued. Because of the blood clan’s unique stealthiness in the night, coupled with Su Jiu’s mental power comparable to an Intermediate Battle King, she had actually killed her way through without anyone noticing. This person and sword had pierced through the enemy’s defenses in a “V” shape.
As her figure drew closer, the houses began to become more densely packed. Su Jiu looked up slightly, and what appeared before her was the formation stretching to the sky, like pillars of the Southern Heavenly Gate, shooting straight into the sky.
Around the pillars, many people were tied up, including common people and people from other factions. A glance would reveal over two hundred people, piled up like firewood for a bonfire gathering, with a hint of despair in their eyes.
Around them, a dozen disciples in black robes were moving. Among them, a Shadow, dressed differently from the ordinary disciples, sat cross-legged, with faint gray and white energy emanating from him, as if he were cultivating in advance to prepare for a future promotion.
About a hundred meters outside the formation, Su Jiu covered her aura with her mental power and leaned against a somewhat damp wall. Her gaze cast a sideways glance at the small flag beneath the formation. However, the small flag was protected by a thin-looking ice frost shield. Closing her eyes, she began to slowly charge her long sword.
As long as this was destroyed, the blood sacrifice should be forcibly stopped!
Most likely, a single sword strike would do it. That Bishop was still fighting with those Battle Kings, so she should have enough time!
“Wange!”
After charging for a while, Su Jiu opened her eyes. She brought her two fingers together in the shape of a sword and lightly brushed her crimson sword. She stepped forward, and her aura exploded outwards in an instant, suddenly attracting countless gazes.
However, she seemed to pay no heed. She unleashed a massive crimson strike. The crimson slash materialized into a dragon shape, and then a roaring dragon’s cry erupted, startling everyone.
The low dragon’s roar echoed in the rainy night, causing many people to freeze.
The first to react was the Ancient God Sect Shadow. The Shadow’s eyes snapped open, and with a furious expression, it moved to block the strike, shouting all around:
“Enemy attack, everyone be on guard.”
The Shadow lunged forward, intending to block the crimson strike, but with its level, how could it block such a full-power attack that could even rival a weaker Battle King?
Soon, the crimson slash, under everyone’s gaze, instantly annihilated the Shadow and crashed directly into the flag. The collision between the two unleashed a huge airflow, causing the ice shield to shake continuously before shattering. However, the sword energy was also gradually consumed.
“Is it a Dragon Country Dragon Hunter?! Help!”
“The Dragon Hunters are here!! Quickly kill these Ancient God Sect bastards, I demand that your Dragon Country compensate us mentally!”
The eyes of the foreign factions turned towards Su Jiu, filled with countless expectations. Some even shouted, which made Su Jiu’s expression somewhat unpleasant. She was supposed to be infiltrating, but now…
“This ice shield’s defense is so high? Was it personally set up by that Black-clad Bishop? It’s only a little bit away from breaking.”
Ignoring the common people any longer, Su Jiu’s eyes darkened as she looked at the shattered Frost Blossom shield. Then, her figure suddenly dashed rapidly towards the blood-colored flag. Her three-foot green sword cut through the water puddles, making splashing sounds, with moonlight phantoms constantly shifting on the sword body.
Just as she was only a few meters away from the blood-red pillar of light, a white-haired figure leaped from the sky. One hand held a head, and the other held a large saber. The saber swung towards Su Jiu, stirring up a huge, cold hurricane, turning the scattered rain into fine ice shards.
Su Jiu’s pupils trembled, and she hastily raised her long sword to meet the attack. When the two collided, the powerful force contained within the giant saber caused the slender long sword to be pressed into an extremely thrilling arc.
Pamela, with her black pupils devoid of whites, met Su Jiu’s blood pupils and sighed with a bit of emotion. She said faintly, “I didn’t expect you to be a Night Watcher. It’s truly ironic.”
A grunt sounded, and Su Jiu was repelled dozens of meters by a huge force. She dragged two long lines in the mud, splashing water. Using her long sword, she planted it into the ground to stabilize herself, looking at the white-haired woman blocking the flag. She let out a breath and sneered, “Miss Heather, you are so brazen in our Dragon Country. Aren’t you afraid that someone from our Dragon Country will arrest you later?”
“Boom!” White lightning struck a nearby tall tower, emitting crackling sounds that made people feel a bit frightened.
The rain was getting heavier, and the sound of thunder seemed to add to the momentum. At this point, the clash of red and black had officially reached its climax.
