Chapter 355 - 192: Blood Girl, Goodbye Green Kru
That was the color of blood.
No, it was blood.
It surged from underground, covering the sky and earth, like a vast ocean pouring in, unstoppable, and swallowed everything around in an instant.
Even Chen Bei, who had issued a warning, couldn’t escape.
It was terrifying.
And the range was enormous.
Bone Wolf, Thunder Lion, Pegasus, Thunder God’s Ship, Black Mountain, and more, were all submerged in blood.
Within a radius of three hundred miles, it had all turned into a sea of blood.
At the critical moment, Jiang Ming instantly teleported to avoid this far- reaching blow, but his face turned extremely pale.
He hadn’t sensed it beforehand.
He only noticed it when Chen Bei reminded him, and there was no time to save the others. He could only teleport and temporarily avoid it.
Looking at the submerged Black Mountain, Wang Qiutong and the others had also disappeared.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed from the Blood Lake, and huge waves occasionally surged. But in just a few moments, the movement vanished without a trace.
Jiang Ming’s face turned even worse. He was about to rush down when he saw fog rolling in the distance, as if something terrible was about to emerge. Then, thunder roared, and the overwhelming oppressive aura swept over, causing his heart to tremble.
“Unstoppable!”
This thought immediately rose in his mind. He soon discovered a mountain peak enveloped in layers of lightning flying toward him.
Though the mountain was only about three hundred feet tall, it contained the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
On one side of the mountain, there are three divine inscriptions: Sky Thunder Mountain!
There were lots of figures on the mountain. A few people were standing at the top, and among them, a burly figure was holding a broad-bladed sword, which was plunged into the ground.
His gaze was as sharp as lightning, and Jiang Ming felt his heart skip a beat when their eyes met.
“Terrifying!”
Jiang Ming immediately made a judgment, quickly concealing his full strength.
The man on the mountain peak merely glanced at Jiang Ming and then ignored him, turning his eyes to the Blood Lake, his eyebrows furrowed like a sharp knife. He waved his long sword, and Sky Thunder Mountain came to hover above the Blood Lake. The oppressive aura poured down, causing the Blood Lake to sink several feet.
On the other side, streaks of light bloomed, piercing through the clouds and fog, as if the moon was descending from the endless sky, driving away the clouds.
That was a vast expanse of holy light, and inside it was a group of Pegasuses.
They formed a strange formation, their breath and power connected, acting as one, no less powerful than Sky Thunder Mountain.
Ahead of the foremost pair of celestial horses, their single horns were exceptionally long, and a bone crown seemed to circle their heads.
“Heavenly Horse King!”
Jiang Ming made a basic judgment, but his heart sank.
This group of Pegasuses numbered in the hundreds, and the weakest among them was of the Eight Realms.
Joined together, they were utterly terrifying.
“Old Ma, you’re here!” the burly middle-aged man on Sky Thunder Mountain shouted like thunder, seemingly triggering the power of order, echoing throughout hundreds of miles of space.
Motes of lightning appeared and leaped over the Blood Lake.
“I’m here!” The Heavenly Horse King nodded, his mouth splitting open to reveal rows of dagger-like teeth that shone brightly and looked terrifying. “Old Thunder, it’s been many years since we last fought side by side.”
“Haha, I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time!” Old Thunder laughed loudly, shaking the heavens. “I’ve been preparing for this battle all this time, and now, finally, the opportunity has arrived.”
“Old Thunder, keep your voice down. If that thing is drawn here, both you and I will be finished!” the Heavenly Horse King scolded.
“Don’t worry, they won’t appear so easily!” Old Thunder waved his hand and then pointed downward. “Isn’t that old man coming out yet? How about we launch a forbidden attack and cripple him first?”
“Let’s do it!” The Heavenly Horse King had already condensed a mile-long Sword Qi above his head, which had completely materialized and shone with holy light, ready to descend.
The sky shook, and the heavens and earth roared. Just as the Blood Lake was about to be split in two, a giant palm appeared from below and shattered the light sword in mid-air.
Blood condensed, forming a human figure.
It was a woman, wearing a large red robe. Even her hair was red, like burning flames or flowing blood.
Her face was fair, and although she seemed mature, she exuded a sense of holiness.
She appeared somewhat strange.
Once in mid-air, she sat on a blood-formed throne behind her. The throne was carved with ninety-nine exotic beasts, such as the True Dragon, God Phoenix, Qilin, Xuanwu, and others.
She sat down gracefully, crossing her legs.
She grabbed at the air and drew forth a tall crystal goblet filled with one-third of a golden liquid and shook it gently.
It seemed she did not take Old Thunder and Old Ma seriously at all. She raised her eyes, a faint sneer in the corner of her mouth.
“The Lost Land is seemingly chaotic, but it is filled with the power of destiny.” the woman in the red robe spoke gently. “My Blood Lake has been developing quietly in the Lost Land, growing peacefully, and only harvesting lives within a thousand-mile radius, never overstepping. If we encountered a powerful force, we would give way and be low-key. Back then, when we moved overnight and encountered you, we showed you respect and backed away. Yet you still foolishly offended my Blood Lake, so I had to unleash a slaughter. Unfortunately, in the end, I couldn’t bear it and let you go. If you weren’t grateful, that’s your prerogative. But now, you’ve run into us again and still want to attack me.”
“Oh, I understand now. This is the correction of fate!”
“You should have died back then, but you didn’t. Now, the hand of fate has brought you before me again. If you hadn’t sought death, you might still have a chance for survival. But you insisted on courting death.”
