Chapter 408: Collapse of the Blood-clothed Tower
Each resurrection of the Blood Demon came with a price; in every resurrection, it would consume a considerable amount of fine blood!
The fine blood was not easy to come by. To build this blood pool, the Blood-clothed Tower had to slaughter several tribes and towns near Central Asia before it was finally completed.
“Palace Lord, be careful!”
Yang Chengsi was about to remind Lu Xuan to be careful, but he saw that Lu Xuan was not even looking at it. Instead, he slashed out with his Dragonslayer, as the sword chopped down.
Pft!
The Blood Demon was hit by the sword again. Before it had time to respond, its body was directly split in half again at an unimaginably fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon was killed by the sword again.
The people of the Heavenly Palace and the spies of the various forces were almost scared to death.
First, Lu Xuan had easily killed General Silverback. Now, he had killed the Blood Demon so quickly.
This kind of success was too shocking!
Roar!
The angry roar of the Blood Demon was heard again from the blood pool, as it was resurrected once again. It was as if the previous scene was still presented before Lu Xuan. The Blood Demon had only just been resurrected, yet he was easily killed by Lu Xuan again.
All of a sudden, countless fresh blood condensed into blood arrows. Like numerous bullets, they headed towards Lu Xuan from all directions.
Countless blood arrows flew through the shadows of Lu Xuan’s body, but none of them was able to hit him.
Lu Xuan slashed down with his sword again, as the light of thunder was wrapped around the sword light. With a vague power consisting of both wind and thunder, he had instantly killed the Blood Demon.
Indeed, the Blood Demon was killed in the blood pool on the spot!
The Blood Demon did not have a chance to even step out of the blood pool before it was killed where it stood!
By then, people seemed to have gone a little numb. They were shocked that Lu Xuan was able to easily kill that Blood Demon, who had stunned everyone just earlier.
Lu Xuan was too strong, but nobody felt strongly about it when everyone was able to accept this fact.
There were no showy martial arts skills or magics. With just a simple downward slash of the sword, it had displayed a great power. Every time the sword descended, the whole underground base would tremble.
This time, when the sword descended, it had even made a crack in the blood pool that had been built with several resources. Fresh blood flowed out from the crack until it soon spread all over the underground base.
Roar!
The Blood Demon came back to life again. Compared to earlier when he was at his peak, however, his aura was obviously much weaker.
Boom!
Without waiting for the Blood Demon to react, another sword light fell down, directly cutting the Blood Demon and making him explode in the air.
Everyone was feeling numb. It was the same sword light and the same killing method, with no additional steps. The Blood Demon was easily killed with the simplest attack.
This terrifying killing method had left many people dumbfounded yet amazed.
“Lu Xuan is so strong. It seems that he has no boundaries!”
“For someone like him, I can’t tell whether that would be considered a good thing or a bad thing for the human race!”
“What kind of inheritance did he get? How can he be so strong?”
At that moment, any people even felt compelled to kneel and shout the number 666.
Although the Blood Demon had still come back to life again, it was obvious that the strength was no longer comparable to that of the peak after it was killed several times in succession. The Blood Demon’s strength had been severely reduced, lowering it to the first tier of the Divine Treasure Realm.
Although the Blood Demon was still very powerful, it was possible to defeat and destroy the Blood Demon even with just the strength of the people from the Heavenly Palace.
Even Yang Chengsi and the others, who learned martial arts skills and magic abilities from Lu Xuan, could destroy the Blood Demon themselves.
After all, the Blood Demon could wreak havoc. He heavily relied on his own realm to be far more powerful than others. Coupled with being in the blood pool where he could receive a continuous supply of blood energy, he was able to be so unscrupulous.
Now, both advantages were gone.
Although the blood demon was fierce, unafraid of death, and extremely tyrannical, he was still a creature with spiritual wisdom. Once he had confirmed that he could no longer defeat Lu Xuan, his first reaction was to escape. However, right after the Blood Demon flew out of the blood pool, he was pinned to the ground by the Dragonslayer that had descended from the sky.
Boom!
The Dragonslayer nailed the newly resurrected Blood Demon to death while it was trying to escape, directly carving a big hole in the ground.
It was not long before the Blood Demon was reborn from the blood pool, and this time the rebirth was not much better.
His strength had deteriorated greatly, and his realm had plummeted. Under such circumstances, he did not have a chance to react at all.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, as the Dragonslayer originally lodged into the ground flew up and turned into an amazing stream of sword light. It then descended from the sky and landed directly on the Blood Demon’s head.
Boom!
This Blood Demon was blown up on the spot. Even after waiting a while, however, he had not been able to resurrect this time.
This was because he had died.
The blood pool was originally filled with fresh blood, but it had turned to nothing; all of the blood had completely dried up.
Although relying on the fine blood, the Blood Demon could continue to be reborn.
However, that fine blood would also be consumed over time. Thus, this Blood Demon no longer had the ability to resurrect itself.
When everyone saw this, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was especially so for those from the Heavenly Palace. This Blood Demon was not only powerful but also incomparably weird, as he was able to absorb fine blood to come back to life.
With such strength, there was nothing people could do about him.
He was so weird that even if he was defeated and killed once, he could come back to life immediately. The people from Heavenly Palace had dealt with so many weird things before, but they had never encountered such a strange situation.
If Lu Xuan had not been in charge this time, they would have probably been defeated. What was even more terrifying was that under the attack of the Blood Demon and the silverback gorilla, it would have been an achievement if even a third of the people were able to escape.
This was exactly what the Blood-clothed Tower wanted!
Fortunately, Lu Xuan had directly suppressed the two experts and ultimately destroyed the Blood-clothed Tower.
After this incident, the originally arrogant atmosphere of the Heavenly Palace suddenly calmed down.
Many people realized that even though they were already the best of the best and were above thousands of creatures, there were still others who were stronger. Even though they had a high level of cultivation, there were still several people at higher levels.
There was no need for such existences to pose a great enough threat. One or two beings were enough to do just that.
Had it not been for Lu Xuan, they would have suffered a big loss this time!
Lu Xuan pointed to Howard, the Lord of the Blood-clothed Tower, and said, “Take him away. After the trial, he will be publicly executed!”
