Chapter 77
The True Leader of the Black Fiend Cult
"Junior Brother Li, what nonsense are you talking about? This person has no spiritual energy at all. How could he possibly be the leader of the Black Fiend Sect who cultivates the Blood Sacrifice Evil Art?" One of Qian Qiaoqian's senior brothers frowned slightly, unable to believe Li Yunfan's words.
Even his fellow disciples, including Liu Jing, looked at him with strange expressions, clearly not believing what he was saying.
"Junior brother, you..."
Just as Liu Jing was about to ask for clarification, a pitiful scream suddenly interrupted him.
Everyone was startled by the sound and immediately looked warily in the direction from which it came.
Behind the Xuehong Daoist couple, a black-robed man who had appeared out of nowhere was seen pulling his glowing red arm from the other's chest. The corpse then fell straight to the ground, lifeless.
"No!"
Standing with the others, Xue Hong's face turned deathly pale upon seeing her Daoist partner die like that. She cried out in extreme grief, then unleashed her magical weapon, fueled by resentment, and fiercely attacked the man in black robes.
The man in black simply raised his hand, releasing a burst of bloody light, which blocked the sharp magical weapon.
"Hehe! Don't worry, none of you will escape today!"
Hearing the black-robed man's relaxed words, a chill ran through everyone.
"It seems you are the true leader of the Black Fiend Cult!"
Liu Jing spoke cautiously, glancing at Li Yunfan as he finished.
Li Yunfan naturally understood the meaning in the other person's eyes and couldn't help but secretly purse his lips.
"You're quite clever. I did indeed found the Black Fiend Sect, so you must be their leader!" the black-robed man said calmly.
Upon hearing the other party admit their identity, everyone's expression changed drastically. They gripped their magical artifacts tightly and stared intently at the other party as if facing a formidable enemy.
According to intelligence, shouldn't the other party be in seclusion? How come they suddenly appeared here?
Upon hearing this, Liu Jing's expression changed slightly. He took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, secretly made a cautious gesture to the others, and then coldly asked.
"Indeed, I led the effort to wipe out your Black Fiend Cult. Now you're all alone, yet you still dare to commit murder. You've really got some nerve!"
Liu Jing spoke these words with righteous indignation, his momentum growing stronger with each word, showing no sign of fear.
"Who said I'm the only one left?" the man in black robes said with a strange smile.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jing was taken aback. Then, he suddenly remembered what Li Yunfan had just said. But before he could react, he heard Zhong Weiniang's urgent shout.
"Be careful, senior brother!"
Even after hearing the other party's reminder, Liu Jing only had time to erect a spiritual energy shield and couldn't make any other effective defensive measures.
Just as Liu Jing was secretly regretting why he hadn't carefully considered what Li Yunfan had said, his vision suddenly blurred, and then he heard Zhong Weiniang's anxious and concerned voice again.
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
As soon as Liu Jing's vision returned, he saw that he had returned to Zhong Weiniang's side.
"Wei Niang, did you save me?"
"It wasn't me, it was Junior Brother Han who rescued you from the Yue Emperor," Zhong Weiniang said, shaking her head.
Liu Jing turned his head and saw Li Yunfan and Han Li fighting with the Yue Emperor, while the others stood guard vigilantly to the side, still keeping a close eye on the Black Fiend Sect leader to prevent him from making a sudden move.
When the leader of the Black Fiend Sect saw that Emperor Yue had failed, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He guessed that Li Yunfan and his companion must be the ones who killed Tie Luo and Bing Yao.
"It seems not all of you are useless. But even if I could save you, it would only prolong your life a little longer!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd became even more cautious, because the Black Fiend Sect leader's last words were clearly not directed at them, and they had no idea what he meant.
"Bang!"
A muffled explosion rang out, and the Yue Emperor, dressed in golden robes, appeared silently before the Black Fiend Sect Leader.
"These two little rascals are quite clever. It seems you'll have to sacrifice yourself sooner!" Emperor Yue said with a slight smile.
"What's mine is yours, take it!"
After the Black Fiend Sect leader finished speaking, he raised his arms with a smile, while Yue Huang directly inserted his arms into the Black Fiend Sect leader's chest.
This sudden scene startled Liu Jing and the others, but what sent chills down their spines was that the Black Fiend Sect leader did not struggle at all, and the smile on his face did not even fade.
Then, dazzling blood-red light emanated from both of them simultaneously, connecting them through the arm that had pierced the Black Fiend Cult Leader's chest, and the blood-red light began to surge towards the Yue Emperor.
As the blood-red aura emanating from the Black Fiend Cult leader gradually diminished, his flesh also withered away little by little, as if it had been drained dry by the Yue Emperor.
Looking at Emperor Yue again, after absorbing the blood light of the Black Fiend Sect leader, his face gradually became younger, and the blood light on his body became stronger and stronger.
Just as everyone was staring in shock at the bizarre scene before them, Han Li suddenly raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Li Yunfan, then flicked his right hand across the storage bag at his waist and flung it sharply toward the Yue Emperor.
Countless fireballs and fire serpent-like fire-type talismans surged forth from Han Li's hands, and a massive wave of fire rushed menacingly toward Emperor Yue.
This powerful attack startled Liu Jing, Song Meng, and the others, who initially thought the other side possessed some real treasures. However, once they realized that these were just some low-level spells, they dismissed them with disdain.
After all, no matter how many low-level spells there are, they are still just low-level spells. How could they possibly cause any harm to Emperor Yue, the true leader of the Black Fiend Cult?
As expected, the Yue Emperor didn't take the massive attack seriously and showed no intention of stopping it. He knew that his protective blood aura alone could easily withstand it.
The next moment, flames engulfed Emperor Yue and the leader of the Black Fiend Cult, and deafening explosions followed.
However, the next second, a blinding white light suddenly burst out from the Yue Emperor's body, followed by a deafening roar. The white light expanded and contracted, engulfing the two of them and raising a cloud of dust.
Everyone felt the terrifying spiritual power contained in the white light and saw the terrified look on Emperor Yue's face. They were both surprised and delighted, and all looked at Han Li at the same time.
"Don't be too happy yet, the other party is not dead yet!" Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.
Upon hearing this, everyone released their divine senses to sense the situation and indeed found that Emperor Yue's spiritual energy was still faintly present in the smoke, as if his spiritual power had been greatly diminished.
"Cough... What did you hide in those talismans? They couldn't even stop my protective blood aura!" The cold voice of the Yue Emperor rang out from the smoke.
