Chapter 236: No Path to the Heavens (I)

Run!

The real identities of the undercover trio had not been exposed, but it was obvious that the two people pursuing them would not let them go. It would be a fight to the death the next time they met.

Chu Liang went back the way he came and returned to the place where he and his companions had encountered the family of three Winged Draconic Beasts. However, the only Winged Draconic Beast left in that clearing was the hatchling.

The hatchling was smacking its lips, seemingly still savoring the taste of the Golden Vein Berries. The little beast was thinking that it would be wonderful if it could have two more.

Thud, thud.

Right then, two Golden Vein Berries fell from above out of nowhere and hit the little creature's head, stunning it for a moment.

"Help me call your parents over!" Chu Liang shouted as he rushed past.

He had no idea if the hatchling heard him. Nevertheless, after staring blankly for a moment, the hatchling scooped the berries into its mouth and scampered off.

A second later, Master Mu appeared at the clearing.

The way he moved was extremely strange. It seemed like he was not actually making any movements.

There was a projection of a formation diagram under his feet. It expanded rapidly, spreading a hundred zhang across the ground in all directions. Then he disappeared from the center of the formation and reappeared at the frontmost point of the formation, moving forward over a hundred zhang in a flash.

With him at the center, the formation diagram expanded repeatedly, and he would be shifted to the frontmost point of the formation each time. This method allowed him to move very quickly.

After repeating this process several times, he caught sight of the three people up ahead.

Like Master Mu, Enchantress Liu was at the sixth realm, but she was slower than him. Nevertheless, the difference wasn't significant, and she appeared as a trail of red light following closely behind him.

The pair of sixth-realm cultivators only needed a short time to catch up to Chu Liang's group.

Suddenly, the sky turned dark.

"Raaaar!"

As an angry roar rang out, a Winged Draconic Beast's huge wings that seemed to cover the sky swung down toward Master Mu. The enormous Winged Draconic Beast opened its huge mouth, revealing three rows of terrifying fangs. It intended to devour Master Mu in one bite!

Swoosh—

Master Mu's figure flickered again, disappearing and then reappearing in another corner of the formation. His gaze remained cold and composed as he avoided the sudden attack.

This sixth-realm Winged Draconic Beast might seem extremely fearsome in the eyes of others, but to Master Mu, the Winged Draconic Beast was not a problem at all.

"Raraaaar!" The Winged Draconic Beast's attack struck empty space. Nevertheless, it immediately swung its huge wings again, attempting to strike Master Mu again!

Master Mu formed two-handed hand seals and grasped the empty space.

Two formation diagrams appeared in midair. One was in front of him, blocking the Winged Draconic Beast's wingstrike. The other appeared in front of the Winged Draconic Beast, smashing into it with tremendous force!

Wham!

The formation diagram reflected the force of the Winged Draconic Beast's attack! Master Mu injured the beast by using its own attack! The Winged Draconic Beast was sent staggering backward several tens of zhang.

Right after that brief exchange of moves, Enchantress Liu arrived and sprang into action. She pointed at the Winged Draconic Beast, and a scarlet blood sword materialized out of thin air. It went piercing toward the Winged Draconic Beast.

However, Enchantress Liu suddenly felt a murderous aura surging beneath her feet. It was an ambush!

Alarmed, Enchantress Liu stepped backward, but she failed to avoid the oncoming attack. A mouthful of black dragon breath struck her, shrouding half of her body.

Hiss—

The dragon breath permeated her flesh. It dissolved one of her arms and one of her legs into a pool of blood, leaving her bones bare. It was a gnarly sight.

The pair of Winged Draconic Beasts had used a strategy—one drew the enemy's attention from the front while the other gathered its breath to launch a sneak attack from behind. Coupled with their familiarity with the terrain, this was undoubtedly a tried-and-true strategy!

Enchantress Liu flew up, with blood dripping from her injuries. A red light appeared at the gaping wounds and slowly covered the bare bones of her fleshless arm and leg, gradually wrapping her bones with new muscle and skin.

In the blink of an eye, she had fully recovered and regained her limbs.

Her ruined clothes could not be repaired, so her newly grown arm and leg were left exposed. The limbs were shapely and covered with fair and radiant skin—seemingly even more beautiful than before.

Enchantress Liu had used the Immortal Art: Last Drop of blood!

Legend had it that this immortal art allowed a cultivator to resurrect themself even with just a drop of blood, pretty much giving them a body that could never die. Enchantress Liu's situation was not that extreme, but she used the powerful spiritual energy in her blood to recover her limbs, showing the incredible prowess of Last Drop of Blood.

Enchantress Liu flew over to Master Mu and hovered in midair with him.

The pair of Winged Draconic Beasts converged as well. They crouched down with their fierce gazes locked onto their targets.

A great battle was about to begin.

...

Meanwhile, Chu Liang's group had already fled in another direction and left the jungle. They did not know how long the pair of Winged Draconic Beasts could hold off the two diabolical cultivators, so they did not dare to pause to rest even for a moment.

Compared to demonic beasts, human cultivators had way more tricks up their sleeve, such as divine skills and enchanted tools. Even if Master Mu and Enchantress Liu could not harm the pair of Winged Draconic Beasts, it should not be difficult for them to escape. That meant the Winged Draconic Beasts would not be able to hold off Master Mu and Enchantress Liu for very long.

Yet, not long after Chu Liang's group fled from the jungle, they encountered a new crisis.

"Screeeeee!"

A screech ripped through the air. This was a sign that this crisis was much more dangerous than the one before, and it was thirsty for blood.

A beam of red light suddenly flashed by, almost grazing Monk Pushan. Fortunately, he swung his large hands at just the right time. His fair palms smacked the creature invading his personal space, sending it to the ground easily like he was swatting a mosquito.

The fallen demonic beast's appearance was a bit different after getting hit. Nevertheless, the trio could vaguely tell that the demonic beast looked like a bat covered in scales. It was small in stature, about the size of a child, and had a hideous face.

"Vampire Bat-Dragon! This demonic beast isn't strong alone, but they always live in a colony. Seeing one means there could be hundreds or even thousands more!" Luo Yao said from midair.

Before she even finished talking, three beams of blood-red light shot up from below, attacking her from all sides!

Luo Yao flipped her hand over and summoned her white paper umbrella, opening it immediately. A white ghostly figure appeared and embraced her. It blocked the three Vampire Bat-Dragons from attacking Luo Yao.

Luo Yao suspended two paper umbrellas in the air behind her. Meanwhile, her right hand reached for her large curved saber. In a flash, she struck down the three Vampire Bat-Dragons!

The fight was over in an instant. It appeared that the three Vampire Bat-Dragons had not caused much harm to the trio.

However, the sound of flapping wings then filled the air as a vast expanse of red clouds that seemed to stretch over the sky and the ground rose from the middle of the mountain. There was an oncoming swarm of Vampire Bat-Dragons!

Chu Liang put his full effort into using the Secret Dragon Blood Technique, wanting to block the swarm of Vampire Bat-Dragons for his companions.

Unfortunately, things did not play out as he had expected. These Vampire Bat-Dragons were inferior to the Winged Draconic Beasts in both strength and intelligence. They did not attack Chu Liang, but they still charged at his companions, trying to suck their blood.

"I'll hold them off. The two of you should go first!" Chu Liang yelled.

He wielded the Dustless Sword and performed the Hundred Swords Seal. In an instant, hundreds of glowing swords enshrouded with dragon breath and the Cloud of Determination sword qi flew about, forming a defensive barrier of sword qi!

Swish, swish, swish—

Chu Liang continuously struck down the Vampire Bat-Dragons. Many of them were not fatally wounded, but they were unable to keep pursuing Pushan and Luo Yao.

The Vampire Bat-Dragons outnumbered Chu Liang greatly, yet they did not dare attack him. They just wanted to move around him, just like a sea of blood wanting to flow around a reef.

Chu Liang did not just stay in one spot. As he used the Hundred Swords Seal to kill the Vampire Bat-Dragons, he hurried after Luo Yao and Pushan.

The Vampire Bat-Dragons were chasing after them too. That meant the Vampire Bat-Dragons were constantly in the range of Chu Liang's beams of swordlight, allowing him to kill over a hundred Vampire Bat-Dragons in just a short time.
