Chapter 102: The Demonic Wolves Colluding Together

Deep underground in Black Wind City, there was an ominous blood pool.

The stench of blood filled the air, and the previously captured Qin Fei, Jiang Ting, and others were all hanging helplessly above the blood pool.

Even Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie wasn’t spared.

And the Knife Demon Li Kuang had brazenly barged in here.

He stood on a large rock beside the blood pool, looking indifferently at the still surface of the blood.

“Blood Demon, if you don’t show yourself soon, I’ll completely destroy your Blood River Devouring Spirit Array, cutting you off from the path to becoming a saint forever.”

Li Kuang’s words caused the calm surface of the blood pool to ripple violently.

In no time, a head emerged from the blood pool.

A figure rose from the depths, standing suspended above the blood pool.

Li Kuang scrutinized the creature before him.

This blood demon was a tall man, with unnaturally pale skin, almost as if he hadn’t seen sunlight in years.

His blood-red eyes were fixed firmly on Li Kuang, his upper jaw adorned with two long tusks, and bat-like wings unfurled from his back, streaks of blood light darting over them.

His heart had a gaping wound, flesh and blood in tatters, the injury emitting a faint aura of destruction.

If it were any other major demon, such injuries would have spelled their doom long ago.

“You’re a member of the Demon Sect?” the Blood Demon stared cautiously at Li Kuang.

“What does it feel like to be pierced by the True Thunder Sword?” Li Kuang replied, completely dodging the question.

“Are you in cahoots with this guy?”

The Blood Demon suddenly seized Lei Lie by the neck, his sharp claws glowing with hints of blood light.

“This man is Lei Lie, Law Enforcement Elder of the True Yang Sword Sect. I am a member of the Holy Sect; we are sworn enemies,” Li Kuang explained.

“Then what are you doing here?” The Blood Demon released Lei Lie.

He sensed a dangerous aura from Li Kuang.

This guy was much stronger than the one named Lei Lie.

Having already been injured in battle with Lei Lie, the Blood Demon knew he stood no chance against Li Kuang.

All members of the True Yang Sword Sect hung unconscious above the blood pool, awaiting their fate of being completely drained of their life force by the Blood Demon.

And besides Jiang Ting, Qin Fei, and the others, there were several other human cultivators suspended here as well.

Unless something unexpected occurred, they would all become nutrients for the Blood Demon, absorbed into the pool.

Just as Li Kuang was about to speak, a figure burst through the entrance of the blood pool.

“Master, bad news! There’s an enemy invasion…”

The newcomer was Hu Xian’er.

“Shut up!”

With a wave of his right hand, a blade of light shot from Li Kuang’s palm straight into Hu Xian’er’s body.

With incredible force, Hu Xian’er was propelled backward, pinned against the stone wall outside the entrance.

She never dreamed she would meet her end here.

At that moment, a figure silently approached from the distant passage, standing by the blood pool entrance.

It was Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang had tracked them down.

Hu Xian’er saw Xiao Yang, her lips moving weakly.

“Mas… Master…”

She desperately tried to warn her master that someone was outside.

But in the next moment, her head drooped down, revealing her true form, and just like that, she perished.

She was a blood fox, her entire body covered in crimson fur.

Xiao Yang stood quietly at the entrance.

Neither the Blood Demon nor Li Kuang could sense his presence.

Xiao Yang had already employed a concealment technique, completely cloaking his aura.

“You dare kill my subordinate?” the Blood Demon roared in fury.

Hu Xian’er had been his right arm, bringing in numerous human cultivators over the years.

“Just a fox demon; kill it and be done,” Li Kuang replied nonchalantly.

“You…” The Blood Demon was livid.

Li Kuang reached into the air towards the Demon Blade outside the blood pool.

“Clang!”

The Demon Blade flew out from the wall, soaring toward Li Kuang.

He caught the blade in his hand.

“You think because I’m injured I won’t dare take you on?” the Blood Demon gritted his teeth.

“I can help you become a saint,” Li Kuang said casually, sheathing his blade.

“What?”

The Blood Demon paused, “You can help me become a saint?”

The Blood Demon stared at Li Kuang in disbelief.

At that moment, Xiao Yang, standing beside the blood pool entrance, was equally surprised.

What was Li Kuang up to?

Before long, he found out what Li Kuang had in mind.

Li Kuang flipped his right hand, revealing a blood-colored pearl.

A powerful wave of life force erupted from the pearl, stirring the air in the blood pool as all the energy was drawn toward it.

“Blood Dan? How do you have a Blood Dan?” the Blood Demon was exhilarated.

He sensed the unimaginable life force within the Blood Dan.

If he had this Blood Dan to assist him, he could repair the blood pool array and once again strive for the rank of Demonic Saint.

“All I need is for you to put on a show, and the Blood Dan is yours,” Li Kuang said as he pocketed the Blood Dan.

“Deal!”

The Blood Demon agreed instantly.

Nothing was more important than becoming a saint.

Once he became a saint, he would no longer have to live in fear, hiding in this dark place.

He wanted to sweep across the world, to dominate a realm.

He wished to be the protagonist of this world, not scurrying like a rat in a sewer.

Li Kuang laid out his plan.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang’s expression turned grave.

Indeed, Li Kuang wanted to mold Qin Fei into a hero who would save them.

Li Kuang intended to help Qin Fei gain Jiang Ting and the others’ favor, making them believe he was their savior.

In doing so, everyone would be grateful to him, supporting and believing in Qin Fei.

In his previous life, Qin Fei had built his heroic image step by step, earning the admiration of countless disciples in his sect.

However, that same Qin Fei had ruthlessly besmirched his name, turned sect members against him, leaving him abandoned.

In his last life, Qin Fei succeeded.

But now, did he really think he could pull the same stunt again?

The Blood Demon promptly released Qin Fei.

In no time, Qin Fei regained consciousness.

“Uncle, what are you doing here?”

Qin Fei was astonished to see Li Kuang.

“Uncle?”

Xiao Yang, standing quietly by the blood pool entrance, was taken aback.

He hadn’t realized there was this connection between Qin Fei and Li Kuang.

No wonder in his last life, Li Kuang had desperately saved Qin Fei.

In that life, he had several opportunities to eliminate Qin Fei, but each time, Qin Fei managed to escape.

One such time was when the Knife Demon Li Kuang had risked everything to protect Qin Fei, even sacrificing himself to stop anyone from pursuing him.

In that previous life, the Knife Demon Li Kuang met his end by Qin Fei’s sword.

Right now, Qin Fei was dumbfounded by the scene before him.

When he saw Jiang Ting and Lei Lie hanging above the blood pool, his mind went blank.

However, when Li Kuang revealed the plan to Qin Fei, he was ecstatic.

Just as Qin Fei was filled with excitement, the Blood Demon suddenly injected a cursed insect into his body.

“What is this? What have you done to me?” Qin Fei exclaimed, alarmed.

“What do you mean?”

Li Kuang glared furiously at the Blood Demon.

“What could it mean? This is a blood curse. Our agreement is not enough. If you retract your word later, I can’t do anything about it, can I?” The Blood Demon sneered.

“Do you even know who he is? How dare you place a curse on him?” Li Kuang was both shocked and enraged.

“I don’t care who he is, I just want my Blood Dan,” the Blood Demon coldly replied. As long as he could become a saint, who would he need to fear?

“Everything will proceed as planned. Once it’s done, the Blood Dan will belong to me, and then I will lift the blood curse from him. But let me remind you, if you dare to breach our agreement, your precious nephew will die in agony, drained of his life force, experiencing pain like never before.”

The Blood Demon said coldly.

“You…”

Li Kuang was furious, yet found himself powerless to act.
