Chapter 112: The Blood Demon Luo Cheng
At an altitude of two thousand zhang, a black shadow plummeted down rapidly, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart and blood-curdling screams.
Although Xu Hua had also flown through the air many times, they were all with Luo Cheng bringing him along, and he himself did not know how to fly. At this moment, falling from a height of two thousand zhang, he was completely helpless.
Looking at the distance from the ground was less than a thousand feet, Xu Hua was horrified. If he really fell down like this, even if his body was strong, he would probably be smashed to pieces!
"Am I going to escape the sea of flames only to become a meat pie again?" Xu Hua was extremely unwilling. He had just escaped, hadn't seen Xiaoying yet, hadn't seen Luo Cheng, and hadn't avenged his great hatred. He didn't dare die like this, dying so miserably. "I don't want to die!!"
Of course, shouting loudly was useless. At this time, Xu Hua discovered a large water pool below him, but he wasn't sure if he could fall into it. He began to concentrate his true energy and continuously struck downwards. With each strike, Xu Hua's speed slowed down some more. When he was less than two hundred zhang away from the ground, his speed had decreased significantly. It was only then that he discovered he had deviated from the pool. Immediately, he activated his true energy to strike horizontally, and indeed it had a great effect.
Plop!
Xu Hua heavily fell into the water pool, splashing dozens of feet high white waves, and even more shocking layers of overlapping waves, extending throughout the entire pool.
Rumble...!
"Wo, wo"
Under the sudden attack, Xu Hua swallowed a few mouthfuls of water from the pond. His mouth and nose were full of water, which was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, it only lasted for an instant, and he immediately used his true energy to disperse the water in his mouth and nose.
This pool of water was at least thirty zhang deep, but Xu Hua still sank very quickly to the bottom. After shedding that downward force, Xu Hua immediately headed towards the surface of the water.
"Cough, cough!"
He surfaced, and with his right hand, Xu Hua wiped away the water marks from the corner of his eye. He squinted and started coughing violently. Looking at the still turbulent lake surface and the mountain top in the distance where flames were still erupting, Xu Hua said softly: "I'm still alive!"
Xu Hua swam towards the shore and soon reached it. As soon as he did, the 'spark' within him stirred, and all the water in his body immediately dispersed. If someone had been present at that moment, they would have surely cried out in surprise.
At this time, Xu Hua was not only without clothes, but even his eyebrows and hair were gone, with a completely bald body, not a single strand of hair.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Xu Hua let out a long sigh towards the sky, his voice echoing into the distance, he was venting the frustration and loneliness of nearly two years!
After a long sigh, he indeed felt more comfortable in his heart. It was only then that he discovered he wasn't wearing any clothes. For nearly two years, Xu Hua had not worn any clothes while being roasted by the earth's flames, and he almost got used to it! He immediately took out several pieces of clothing from his spatial ring and put them on, finding that his old clothes were a bit small, but he could only make do with them for now.
After dressing up, Xu Hua looked at the remaining half of the nameless mountain again. "It's been almost two years. With my current strength, although I'm not yet a Martial Emperor, I'm considered a top-notch expert among the Martial Sovereigns. I wonder what kind of strength Luo Cheng, Luo Lie, and those Blood God Palace members have now." He thought for a moment and said, "I've reached this level of strength now, Luo Cheng won't be far behind either. After all, his combat power two years ago was comparable to that of a late-stage Martial Sovereign. Two years later, he should at least be close to the strength of a Martial Emperor! I've worked hard for two years and still have a significant gap with Luo Cheng!"
"Let's get out of this place first!" Xu Hua wanted to see Luo Cheng, Zhou Ying and others immediately, but here was already the middle of the Taihang Mountains. He didn't know the way, he only had a general direction to leave the Taihang Mountains, but didn't know where he would end up after leaving, after all, the Taihang Mountains were really too big.
Xu Huaru disappeared into thin air in this mountain forest!
Luocheng, it has changed a lot in the past six months. The original Luocheng was also quite prosperous, but at this moment, there are not many people in Luocheng, except for Xiao Se, and it is even more desolate.
During this time, many people have quietly left Luocheng, while others have joined the Wu Ding and Niu families. The culprit behind this phenomenon is none other than the Blood Emperor Luo Cheng, who now exists in Luocheng like a demon god.
Six months after returning from Qingyang Town, Luo Cheng has changed a lot. Before, he was just apathetic, with no color in his eyes, too bland. Now, he is completely crazy, bloodthirsty and murderous. The first thing he did after returning to Luocheng was to slaughter, single-handedly killing his way into the Luosheng Sect, catching them off guard and causing heavy losses.
That battle was earth-shattering, with many deaths. In the end, Luo Sheng's ancestor stepped forward to fight against Luo Cheng. The two sides fought for hundreds of rounds, and in the end, Luo Cheng left severely injured. However, after he left, Luo Sheng's ancestor also spat out a mouthful of blood and could only watch as Blood Emperor Luo Cheng departed.
After Luo Cheng left, the killing did not stop. He killed his way into Luocheng again, and many innocent people were killed by him. If it weren't for the last Wuding and Niu clans' several old ancestors coming out, at least half of the people in Luocheng would have been killed by Luo Cheng.
It was also because of this war that the Blood Emperor Luo Cheng was also known as the Blood Demon! In Luocheng, you may not know those few powerful old ancestors, but you will definitely know the Blood Demon.
As the battle between the two sides became more intense, it was no longer limited to Luocheng. Even people outside of Luocheng had received news of it. However, at present, Shanguo is at war with Dayan, and those major powers are busy participating in the war without paying much attention. Nevertheless, several major powers within Qingcheng have been closely monitoring this great war.
Iron Mountain, Jiuzhaigou forbidden land, thirteen people sat in a circle, motionless, yet gave off an irresistible aura.
At this time, a figure emerged from the water pool, and thirteen gazes opened at the same time, forming an extremely great deterrent.
"Luōu, you've finally returned? What's the reaction from Tianfeng Merchant House?" The young man in red clothes among the thirteen people spoke softly, his crimson eyes hiding a hint of murderous intent, apparently having killed too many times.
Falling to the side of these thirteen people, the other twelve immediately paid their respects, "Second Leader!"
"The head of the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce, Feng Tian Shang, did not give a clear answer. He only said that he would make his move at the right time!" Luo Hui was already very satisfied with this result, after all, the Tianfeng Chamber of Commerce also had its own concerns. "Luo Cheng, you've been killing too much lately, be careful that your consciousness is invaded by the aura of slaughter!"
Luo Cheng smiled slyly and said, "You don't have to worry about this anymore. My divine sense is extremely powerful, and this killing intent isn't a big deal. After calming down and adjusting my breath for a few days, I'll be able to control it perfectly. On the other hand, your recent strength has actually declined. If you continue like this, you'll be caught up by the Blood God Guards soon. At that time, as the Second Leader, you won't have any face left!"
"Lu Cheng, you've changed a lot." Lu Wei said after a moment of silence.
"Of course! The young master is dead, and Miss Zhou Ying is also dead! This world is too cruel, good people never live long. To survive better, one must become even more ruthless than reality! The young master once told me that people live to enjoy themselves. For me, if the young master were still alive, I would have devoted myself wholeheartedly to assisting him. But since he's dead, I'll live according to my own will. The young master died because of his kindness, and I swear not to be like him. I want everyone to fear me, to cower at my feet!" Luo Cheng's crimson eyes flashed with an extremely sharp light.
Luoyi soon came to his senses, but for a moment he couldn't accept Luo Cheng's transformation. He was equally ruthless and cruel, which was the law of survival in this world. "I used to be like you, but after meeting the young master, I changed a lot. It seems that from now on, I will have to go back to being my old self."
"After you avenge your family's grievance and I avenge my own, let's roam the world together!" Luo Cheng looked at Luo Hou, now that Gongzi was gone, if he had to say who was closest to him in this world, it would be Luo Hou.
The road of the strong is a lonely one, and it's hard to find someone suitable to share the journey to the top.
"Aren't you afraid I won't be able to keep up with you and become a burden?"
Luo Cheng smiled slyly and said, "As long as I exist, you will too! At the very least, it's not a problem for you to become the Martial Emperor! When the time comes, we'll sit together at the pinnacle of all living beings, looking down on them with disdain, pointing out the mountains and rivers. What a delightful feeling that is!"
"I hope so! There are too many unpredictable things in life, and although the young master was talented, he still fell on his journey!" Luo Hui sighed lightly.
"True power is the foundation of everything, cultivate well! The 'Killing Devil Scripture' is not inferior to the 'Blood God Scripture'. The young master has already gone, I don't want you to go too...". Luo Cheng also started cultivating the 'Killing Devil Scripture' during this period. This 'Killing Devil Scripture' was indeed extraordinary. Thinking back, Blood Saint had obtained the 'Killing Devil Scripture' but didn't have a chance to cultivate it before he died. If Blood Saint had cultivated the 'Killing Devil Scripture', perhaps he wouldn't have had to die in the end.
"We are willing to follow the two leaders and conquer all corners of the world!" The twelve Blood God Guards said in unison.
"Alright! Alright! Alright! Don't worry, I won't let you down, as long as you all stay alive! If you die, then everything will be beyond salvation!" Luo Cheng declared loudly.
"Lu Cheng, what should we do now? Shouldn't we unify the Branding Iron Mountain first? It's not far from Luocheng and it's a good place! With our current strength, we don't have to fear Heifeng Gang and Baigu Cave at all!" Although Luo Hou rarely handled matters in Jiuzhaigou, this was after all his first established force, and he still occupied a considerable amount of space in his heart.
"Brand Iron Mountain?" Luo Cheng understood Luo Hua's thoughts, and this Brand Iron Mountain was actually not of much use to the two of them. However, since Luo Hua wanted to do so, he naturally wouldn't refuse. "Then let's go! I also want to know how strong the Black Wind Fortress and White Bone Fortress really are."
"Great leader, take us with you! We've been sitting here for two months and have already refined the gains from last time. It's time to venture out again!" Xue didn't want to miss this opportunity either.
