Chapter 73: The blood-sucking old demon

In the quiet cave, the Demonic Sect members stepped back slowly, evidently planning to flee.

"None of you can escape!!"

An enraged voice emerged from the mouth of the hideous demon. He stared intently at Lin Xing and asked, "Was it you who killed my disciple?"

"How many times do I have to say it? Stop being so naggy. If you want to fight, then fight!" Lin Xing brandished his sword, advanced, his steps moving erratically, left and right. In a blink of an eye, he had already reached the Blood - Sucking Demon.

"Although I don't know why you're here, I don't want to waste words with a dead man!"

If there had to be a reason, Lin Xing could only think of Nian Laoda. In the original story, Nian Laoda was here, but he had been killed by Lin Xing in advance. If this had drawn the attention of the Blood - Sucking Demon, it would make sense.

Lin Xing unleashed his sword, like a sudden downpour!!

Dots of sword light covered most of the Blood - Sucking Demon's body. The speed of each sword strike was Extreme,leaving no time for reaction!

"Damn you!"

The Blood - Sucking Demon let out a furious roar and retreated rapidly. A closer look revealed that there were over a dozen gashes around his body, bleeding profusely.

"You brat, courting death!"

The Blood - Sucking Demon was well - known even among the older generation. Now, being carelessly injured by a youth who seemed less than twenty years old, he was even more enraged. With a thunderous shout, he sacrificed a red skull. A cold wind blew, and black smoke billowed. The Blood - Sucking Demon's hideous face became even more eerie!

Lin Xing thrust his sword again, but unexpectedly, he was sent flying. The Blood - Sucking Demon was equally puzzled. He hadn't exerted much force. Why did his opponent fly out?

Without thinking much, the Blood - Sucking Demon continued his attack.

Lin Xing was pushed back again and again, gradually moving away from the others...

And without the leader's suppression, the small minions also scattered one after another...

"Kid, there's something strange about you!" the Blood - Sucking Demon said to Lin Xing, his expression becoming more cautious.

Lin Xing's clothes were a bit disheveled. Hearing this, he grinned and said, "Not bad. You actually noticed!" Then, the immortal sword in his hand suddenly disappeared, replaced by a red fire - attribute immortal sword.

The Blood - Sucking Demon remained silent, and the caution on his face deepened. What on earth was this young man up to?

"Actually, it's not impossible for me to defeat you in front of those people. It would just take more time."

"And I have some matters to attend to on this trip. I don't want to expose myself in front of my fellow disciples."

"As for you, Hum!If it weren't for your decent cultivation and some use to me, I'd really kill you with one sword!"

After saying this, Lin Xing looked at the Blood - Sucking Demon with anger.

Originally, Lin Xing's plan was to use his water - controlling ability to bind Miss Lu and himself together when that fool using the Mountain - River Fan summoned water, and then fall into the Dead Spirit Abyss, being close to each other. What a beautiful scene... But then this old demon showed up! Damn it! Such bad luck!

Although the Blood - Sucking Demon was a bit cautious, in his opinion, even if Lin Xing had started practicing from the womb, he couldn't have much ability. Killing him? It was simply a joke!

"You ignorant brat, let you see my 'Five - Ghost Spirit Control'!"

From the blood - red skull, five gloomy figures emerged, exuding a fierce murderous aura. And since they were in the place of concentrated spiritual energy near the Dead Spirit Abyss, the effect was even better.

Lin Xing drew his sword and launched an attack, not yet planning to reveal his trump card.

His steps were disorderly, and the tip of his sword trembled wildly, like a lightning bolt splitting the sky, majestic and solemn!

It was more suitable to display the artistic conception of thunder with a fire - attribute immortal sword than with water. This was why Lin Xing changed his sword. Moreover, "thunder" had a restraining effect on the Blood - Sucking Demon's kind of sorcery, giving it an advantage over "water"!

Lin Xing made hand gestures with his left hand, and a tiny bolt of lightning blasted out, colliding with the gloomy shadow in front. As his long sword danced, he pierced through the blockade of the shadows and thrust his sword towards the Blood - Sucking Demon.

With another wave of his left hand, several more strands of lightning wrapped around the immortal sword and crashed towards the skull. The blood - light and lightning intertwined, evenly matched!

Suddenly, the Blood - Sucking Demon shouted, "No! Why hasn't the thunder you used before dissipated!!"

Lin Xing seized the opportunity and stabbed the Blood - Sucking Demon in the shoulder with a "poof". The lightning continuously passed through, causing the Blood - Sucking Demon to stagger and almost fall. Then, a surge of blood - qi around him dispelled the lightning.

With a thought, Lin Xing gathered the lightning scattered in the air, forming a belt - like object that circled around him. "Can't you see? I can control lightning!"

The Blood - Sucking Demon stared in disbelief. "How, how is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible? Seeing is believing. You old demon, don't you even believe what you see!" As he spoke, Lin Xing raised his hand, and thousands of bolts of lightning burst out from his body, finally condensing into a huge thunder - ball in his palm. The "zi zi" crackling of the lightning made the Blood - Sucking Demon turn pale.

Being able to control lightning was one thing, but being able to perform such a massive thunder - based Taoist magic?The Blood - Sucking Demon finally started to believe Lin Xing's previous "boastful words"!

However, the Blood - Sucking Demon was mistaken. Controlling lightning was true, but performing such a huge thunder - based Taoist magic was false!

Although Lin Xing's spiritual energy and chakra had merged at present, the Lightning Release ninjutsu he performed had been greatly enhanced. However, after all, in terms of operation methods and generation principles, Taoist magic and ninjutsu were different! It was like using the same ingredients to make dishes of different deliciousness levels!

This thunder - ball of Lin Xing was just a ninjutsu. Due to the relationship of the original energy, in terms of power, it might be comparable to the Taoism practice by an ordinary person. But compared with Lin Xing's own thunder - based Taoist magic,there was still a big gap.

In terms of power, heavenly thunder was the strongest, thunder - based Taoist magic came second, and thunder - based ninjutsu was the weakest.

And Lin Xing's thunder - based ninjutsu was equivalent to the thunder - based Taoist magic of an ordinary cultivator.

This wasn't that Lin Xing was neglecting the fundamental and pursuing the trivial by practicing ninjutsu. It was just that there were really too few thunder - based Taoist magic,and the few available ones didn't have satisfactory power. Presumably, after the Qingyun Sect had the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art, they no longer paid much attention to the research of other thunder - based spells.

"Actually, this is just the tip of the iceberg of my trump card. I know that just this alone might not make you submit to me." Lin Xing said with a smile.

"Submit?" The Blood - Sucking Demon laughed in surprise. "You want me to submit to the Qingyun Sect? Ridiculous! I, the Blood - Sucking Old Ancestor, am no good person, but I still have some backbone. You little brat, you're going too far - "

"Who said submit to the Qingyun Sect? I didn't say that." Lin Xing said with a hint of annoyance. After a barely perceptible twist in space, a dazzling blood - red bead emerged. It was filled with murderous aura, as if countless wronged souls were roaring. In comparison, the Blood - Sucking Demon's blood - red skull seemed like a child's toy!

"The Blood - Devouring Pearl!"

The Blood - Sucking Demon looked at Lin Xing with even more fear! That Blood - Devouring Pearl was simply, simply ten times more powerful than in the legends! From such a distance, the blood in his body was already being drawn. It was terrifying! How much blood had it absorbed!!

Lin Xing stroked the Blood - Devouring Pearl. The strange red light flickered rhythmically, as if responding to Lin Xing's caress.

"What do you think, Blood - Sucking Old Ancestor? Does my strength meet your standards?"

The Blood - Sucking Demon remained silent.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I won't hide it from you. I intend to unify the Holy Sect, and I'm in need of talents like you. Look at you. Although you're part of the Holy Sect, everyone speaks ill of you behind your back. Even taking in a disciple is full of difficulties. Don't you want to change this?"

"In the future, if I unify the Holy Sect, who would care about these things? And who would dare to? You would be a founding hero, a senior of the Holy Sect. Honor, wealth, and a position of great respect would be within your reach! With just a word from you, there would be countless talented people vying to be your disciple. Why be so attached to Jiang Laosan? Even after a thousand years, you could be as famous as the Black - Hearted Old Man!"

"Don't you really want this?"

The Blood - Sucking Demon pondered for a moment and then chuckled. "If I don't agree, I'm afraid I'll become its nourishment!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the bead in Lin Xing's hand.

"No! I never do such things." Lin Xing said with a serious expression.

"I'll just modify your memory slightly, making you willing to serve me wholeheartedly."
