Chapter 1306: Blood-Robed Corpse
"Kid, today is the day you die!" The longer the battle dragged on, the more ferocious Xue Buyi became. His eyes turned red while his bloodlust turned thicker and thicker. He was wearing a pair of gloves, and as he unleashed his claw attacks, even space itself was ripped apart.
Such claw attacks could instantly rip any human apart. Xiang Shaoyun did not want to waste any more time. He directly moved to Xue Buyi's side with the Phantom Shift technique before releasing three different powers.
Fiery Lightning Storm!
With the Overlord Skyslaying Saber in hand and the three different powers infused into his blade, he swung at Xue Buyi madly. Xue Buyi was naturally surprised by Xiang Shaoyun's speed. When Xue Buyi sensed a suffocating attack descending upon him, his eyes turned cold, and he wrapped the blood-soaked cloth around his entire body. The cloth successfully protected him against the attack.
Nobody would think that a piece of blood-soaked cloth could do anything. However, this was Xue Buyi's blood-soaked cloth, and it had been dyed in the blood of countless experts during the ancient war. It had an extraordinary origin. Without such strength, the saying "When the blood-soaked cloth appears, the Saint retreats" wouldn't have existed.
Sure enough, when Xiang Shaoyun sent a barrage of attacks over, the blood-soaked cloth erupted with an overwhelmingly dreadful power. It was as though a massive army had stepped onto the battlefield, filling the air with roars, screams, and sounds of battle. Scenes from the ancient battlefield appeared, greatly shocking everyone in the area.
The illusion completely erased Xiang Shaoyun's attacks. Sensing a thick bloodlust that belonged to a battlefield, Xiang Shaoyun tried to retreat. Unfortunately, he was too late.
"You can't escape. Die!" Xue Buyi roared with a look of bloodlust.
His entire person shrank as his blood seeped into the cloth around him. The cloth seemed to have transformed into a curtain large enough to cover the sky, surrounding Xiang Shaoyun before wrapping around him.
Blood-Robed Corpse!
This was the most terrifying aspect of the blood-soaked cloth. The moment one was wrapped in it, one wouldn't be able to escape death even if one was a Saint. The blood-soaked cloth had feasted on an immeasurable amount of blood and contained a boundless bloodlust that could instantly kill Saints.
It's over, thought everyone when they saw the cloth wrap around Xiang Shaoyun.
Devil Concubine, Yu Caidie, Han Chenfei, and Ouyang Chuanqi wanted to give Xiang Shaoyun help, but the bloodlust emanated by the blood-soaked cloth was too powerful. They wouldn't be able to provide any help in time.
"If anything happens to the overlord, I'll slaughter your entire family!" Devil Concubine threatened.
"The overlord will be fine," said Yu Caidie with her eyes widened. Despite her confidence in Xiang Shaoyun, she was still worried.
Everyone close to Xiang Shaoyun was worried. None of them could accept that Xiang Shaoyun would be killed so easily. As for Dong Ziwan, she could no longer control herself. She drew her sword, intending to charge into the battlefield. She was already a ninth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. It was no wonder that she could enter the top-100.
But before she could do anything, someone suppressed her and said, "Don't go. You'll die."
"I need to save him," said Dong Ziwan resolutely.
However, the person suppressing her refused to relent. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't move. Meanwhile, the blood-soaked cloth was rippling with power, forming a terrifying force of presence that contained a boundless bloodlust originating from the ancient battlefield. Nobody could stop this presence, whose sole purpose was to eliminate all its enemies.
This wasn't an easy attack for Xue Buyi to launch. He had to exhaust his blood essence for this move. But for the sake of killing Xiang Shaoyun, it was worth it. Wrapped within the blood-soaked cloth, Xiang Shaoyun could feel that the bloodlust was corroding his entire body. Both his mind and physical body seemed to be on the verge of destruction.
Fortunately, his soul was well-protected by the Nether Soul Dragon Headband, allowing him to maintain his clarity. With this clarity, he could still think of a solution for his current predicament.
"Destroy!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as he mustered his willpower and unleashed all his lightning energy, attempting to blast apart the cloth around him.
However, the blood-soaked cloth completely erased his lightning energy. He also tried using Yun Flame's energy, but the same thing happened. The bloodlust was powered by the blood of Saints. His lightning and flame weren't powerful enough to deal with this bloodlust. He needed an even more powerful energy.
The bloodlust was invading his entire body. If it wasn't for the fact that his body had been tempered by the Limit Stimulation Technique, he would have already turned into a pile of mincemeat. Of course, the devil blood that had reforged his body had also played a big role in his survival.
Nevertheless, it would only be a matter of time before he was killed if this continued. He went through all his trump cards and concluded that apart from the Yin Mother Sword, he didn't have anything that could damage the blood-soaked cloth.
"Stop struggling. You'll be a part of the blood-soaked cloth soon. Hahaha!" Xue Buyi was astonished to see that Xiang Shaoyun was still alive, but he was confident that Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't be able to survive for long.
Not far away, Di Mie had a look of disappointment as he muttered, "So that's all he amounts to."
Elsewhere, Di Lin was staring at the blood-soaked cloth with a sinister gaze. He muttered, "Die already. Stop struggling."
Nobody believed that Xiang Shaoyun would survive. Only Song Tiandao was confident as he muttered, "I don't believe that you'll be defeated so easily. You wouldn't be worthy of being my rival otherwise."
Suddenly, the blood-soaked cloth shone with a golden radiance. The radiance grew in intensity, slowly weakening the bloodlust around the cloth. Xue Buyi was alarmed. He hurriedly mustered all his strength and roared, "You won't be able to escape! Stop struggling!"
He channeled more energy into his blood-soaked cloth while extracting more and more of his blood essence, causing his vitality to drop rapidly. He was determined to not stop before killing Xiang Shaoyun.
