Chapter 318: Chapter 281: The Power of the Demon Suppressing Four Spirit Seal_2

“Let’s just wait at North Business Village. Having devoured the fresh blood of so many, including over ten Heaven Gods, that Blood Tribe member must be hiding somewhere refining. We’ll lie in wait for him.” Li Cheng said.

Arriving at the vicinity of North Business Village without alarming the villagers, Li Cheng activated the Hidden Spirit Array to completely conceal their presence and quietly began their wait.

If the Blood Tribe member appeared elsewhere, the city lord would notify them immediately, so there was no need to worry about missing him.

Sitting cross-legged in the Formation, Li Cheng began forming Seals with his hands, occasionally conjuring Big Seals which then dissipated.

These were the Nine Seals of Demon Purging obtained from within the Demon Suppression Bell, possessing extremely strong suppression against demon creatures and evil cultivators.

All Demon-suppressing Envoys would master the first, the Heavenly Seal. Often, this first seal was the key Divine Skill in a Demon-suppressing Envoy’s victory.

Kong Lianqing watched as Li Cheng repeatedly cast the Nine Seals of Demon Purging, her beautiful eyes filled with amazement, for she knew well the difficulty of mastering these Divine Skills. Even after many years as a Demon-suppressing Envoy, she still couldn’t skillfully wield even the first Heavenly Seal.

Yet Li Cheng, who had just become a Demon-suppressing Envoy, or rather had just received the Nine Seals of Demon Purging, was already able to use each seal proficiently!

Kong Lianqing couldn’t help but wonder if this guy had already known the Nine Seals of Demon Purging for quite some time.

After practicing several times, Li Cheng started researching the Four Spirits Seal of Demon Suppressing.

The Four Spirits Seal of Demon Suppressing was far stronger than the Nine Seals of Demon Purging, but the cultivation of the Four Spirits Seal was troublesome as it required the Essence Blood of the Four Spirits to condense actual Big Seals.

In combat, there was no need to form Seals; one could directly activate the Big Seals.

But where could one easily find the Essence Blood of the Four Spirits? One could only substitute it with similar types of Essence Blood.

Doing so, naturally, the power of the Four Spirits Seal of Demon Suppressing would be greatly reduced.

“Azure Dragon Seal, Xuanwu Seal, Vermillion Seal, White Tiger Seal—if only the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle were here, I could borrow its Essence Blood to refine the Xuanwu Seal into a Divine Turtle Seal.”

The Four Spirits Seal of Demon Suppressing required the Essence Blood of the Divine Beasts, something Li Cheng didn’t even dare to contemplate. However, cultivating with the Essence Blood of other similar Divine Beasts would undoubtedly be much stronger than the Nine Seals of Demon Purging.

Otherwise, why would the Four Spirits Seal of Demon Suppressing be hidden behind the Nine Seals of Demon Purging?

Suddenly, Li Cheng’s heart stirred, and he took out a bead.

“I almost forgot, this is a bead condensed from the White Tiger Essence Blood!”

Li Cheng was overjoyed. He had obtained this Essence Blood Bead on the ancient battlefield and had never found a use for it until now—at last, it would serve a significant purpose!

Looking at the bead, Li Cheng seemed to think of something and abruptly raised his eyebrows, “How foolish of me!”

If this bead, condensed from the Essence Blood of Divine Beasts, could bring someone to the Divine Realm, then the Divine Beasts should be able to do so as well!

Why hadn’t he tried bringing the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and the Mole with him? They were both Divine Beasts.

He sighed silently and pushed aside the thought, beginning to cultivate the White Tiger Seal.

To cultivate the Four Spirits Seal of Demon Suppressing, one needed to Refine the Four Spirits Essence Blood into the body, combine it with Divine Power, and use Seals to condense it.

Kong Lianqing did not disturb Li Cheng and watched him quietly. Suddenly, a tremendously strong battle intent burst forth from Li Cheng, startling Kong Lianqing into retreating again and again.

“The battle intent of the Western Metal White Tiger, a Divine Beast? Is he refining the White Tiger Essence Blood?” Kong Lianqing’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

She was very curious about how Li Cheng had gotten hold of the White Tiger Essence Blood, as it was the guardian deity of the great world.

What she wanted to know even more was whether Li Cheng could handle the overwhelming Essence Blood. The mere aura escaping from the Essence Blood Bead gave her a feeling as if she had plunged into an icy cave. As Li Cheng was only at the early stages of the Heaven God State, could he be killed by such a fierce battle intent?

Looking over, Li Cheng appeared calm, seemingly unaffected. Instead, he used the surge of battle intent to quickly form Seals, drawing upon his Divine Power to slowly condense a White Tiger phantom around him.

The presence of the phantom was incredibly formidable, making even Kong Lianqing, a peak Heaven God State powerhouse, feel difficulty standing. If it were to coalesce further…

Kong Lianqing’s eyes brightened, but just at that moment, she sensed something and turned to look outside the Formation.

In the night sky, a dark figure was speeding toward North Business Village.

Kong Lianqing saw it clearly—it was a handsome young man who, concealing his breath, silently landed in North Business Village.

The moment he landed, a glint of bloodthirsty light flashed in the youth’s eyes.

“Damn it, it really is the Blood Tribe!” Kong Lianqing retracted her gaze only to see Li Cheng still concentrating on the White Tiger Seal, not a good time to interrupt.

After a moment of contemplation, Kong Lianqing stepped out of the Formation, his figure flickering as he hurried toward North Business Village.

The Blood Tribe youth sensed something and snickered dismissively, paying no mind to Kong Lianqing. As he opened his mouth, his tiger fangs rapidly grew!

The next moment, every single person in North Business Village trembled all over, feeling their blood suddenly boiling as if it were about to burst forth from their bodies!

Some villagers with lower Cultivation leaked blood from all their pores, the blood not falling to the ground but instead flying towards the night sky!

“You dare!”

Kong Lianqing’s cold shout rang out, followed immediately by a sword light whooshing in, aimed straight at the Blood Tribe youth.

The youth didn’t even turn his head, continuing to absorb the blood while he casually pressed back with his hand, unleashing a torrent of power that shattered the sword light!

“Heaven God Complete!”

As the youth made his move, Kong Lianqing raised an eyebrow without a trace, realizing that the Blood Tribe member before him was at the complete stage of the Heaven God, but clearly on a completely different level of combat prowess compared to Blade.

“Hehe, no need to hurry. I’ll devour these people first, then I’ll devour you!” the youth sneered coldly, continuing his feast.

Beneath, the villagers of North Business Village were unable to move, forced to watch helplessly as their blood drained away, their faces filled with terror, yet finding they couldn’t even make a sound.

Even the village head, who was at the early stage of the Heaven God State, started to bleed out.

But he was resolute, forcibly circulating his Divine Power to break free from the restraints, shooting up into the sky, rushing towards the youth.

“Back off!”

Kong Lianqing spoke once more, his hands forming Seals, and a rich golden light suddenly appeared in front of him. The golden light gathered into a Big Seal, radiating a surging presence that charged fiercely at the youth.

“Heavenly Seal! Demon-suppressing Envoy!” the youth frowned, hurriedly ceasing his bloodsucking and turning to face the threat.

The Heavenly Seal glowed like a blazing sun in the night, illuminating the darkness as its formidable power surged towards the youth like a tidal wave.

The youth’s face darkened slightly, and as he raised his hand, he pulled out a Bone Blade and furiously slashed at the Heavenly Seal.

The blade’s light cut through the air like a hot knife through butter, slicing the Heavenly Seal in two, but the two halves kept on coming undeterred!

“Heavenly Rui Seal!”

Kong Lianqing had already formed another seal, invoking the second of the Nine Seals of Demon Purging to protect herself, easily blocking the youth’s blade light. Her hands formed another Seal, and under her control, the two halves of the Heavenly Seal instantly enveloped the youth.

Under the wrath of the Heavenly Seal, the youth’s body began to decay, with green smoke billowing from him.

This was the might of the Nine Seals of Demon Purging; even with the youth’s superior cultivation, he couldn’t withstand it.

Kong Lianqing flew forward, bathed in the light of the Heavenly Rui Seal that encased her, radiating an incomparable holiness.

“Impressive, a Demon-suppressing Envoy, eh? I will devour you eventually!” The youth bellowed, his Bone Blade shattering with a thunderous noise, turning into countless fragments that enveloped him. He burst through the Heavenly Seal and, with a flicker of his form, attempted to escape into the distance.

The speed of the Blood Tribe was alarmingly fast, and with a Cultivation high by an entire Minor realm compared to Kong Lianqing, if he chose to flee, she couldn’t catch up.

But Kong Lianqing’s demeanor remained calm. She took out a Soul Extinguishing Needle, “Although it’s a bit wasteful, it’s better than letting you escape!”

Just as she was about to activate the Soul Extinguishing Needle, far away, a burst of extremely strong killing intent suddenly erupted.

Looking intently, in the black of night, a streak of white light soared into the sky, bringing with it a terrifying killing intent.

That white light was unmistakably a half-real, half-illusory White Tiger!

Upon the White Tiger’s appearance, its massive body, hundreds of feet in size, blocked the youth’s path. With a raise of its head, an intimidating roar that made one’s scalp tingle echoed through the heavens!

The youth felt a chill run through his body and, without hesitation, soared high, planning to escape in another direction.

But the White Tiger was faster, shadowing him closely, extending a paw to swat him down like a cannonball.

Boom!

The ground shook, and dust billowed.

Before the youth could catch his breath, the White Tiger, now reduced to about ten feet in size and more solid in form, appeared above him.

With a swipe of its claws, flesh and blood flew from the youth’s chest, revealing jade-like white bones. What terrified him even more was that the paw carried an immense killing intent; this force entered his body as if to freeze him, instantly stripping him of the power to resist!
