Youquan Blood Demon Invades (Second Update)

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Emei Sect, within the enormous Heavenly Pool crater on Tianchi Peak.

"Finally, I’ve forged my first flying sword!"

Li Chuan looked at the little flying sword he had painstakingly refined over three months, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

Though this little flying sword was only three inches long, the restrictions, formations, and various refining techniques embedded within it were hardly any simpler than those required to forge a large flying sword.

Especially since he was still a complete novice at artifact refining. If Dan Chenzi had not patiently guided him, who knew when he would have succeeded.

Dan Chenzi, who had created Heavenly Dragon Slash Flying Knife Wings, one of the finest offensive magic treasures in the world, was not only a powerful Emei sword cultivator but also a foremost artifact-refining master.

"Very good. Once you forge another 9,999 of these, they can be assembled into Flying Sword Wings. When the time comes, you can control them as you wish. They can protect your body and injure your enemies as well."

Dan Chenzi examined the little flying sword Li Chuan had successfully forged and nodded approvingly.

When he had first taught Li Chuan to refine Flying Sword Wings, the most difficult part had not been the refining method. With his guidance and assistance, that had not been a problem. The most troublesome issue had been the metal needed for the Flying Sword Wings.

After all, refining Flying Sword Wings required first forging ten thousand little flying swords, consuming more than ten times the metal of an ordinary flying sword.

Moreover, compared to ordinary flying swords, for Flying Sword Wings to achieve their ideal destructive power, the metal used had to be of exceptional quality. It needed to allow True Essence to flow through it smoothly while also being sufficiently hard and sharp.

Back then, he had spent a long time traveling all over the world before gathering enough suitable metal.

Yet he had not expected the most difficult problem to be solved from the very beginning. Li Chuan’s Uru metal and Vibranium happened to perfectly meet the requirements for refining Flying Sword Wings.

As the finest magical metal in the Nine Realms, Uru metal naturally adapted extremely well to energy, while Vibranium’s hardness went without saying.

"9,999 more!"

Li Chuan could not help twitching the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Dan Chenzi patted him on the shoulder.

"Don’t worry. You were slow at first because you weren’t familiar with it. Once you become proficient, you’ll forge them faster and faster."

"No matter how long it takes, I’ll definitely forge it."

Li Chuan put away the little flying sword he had finished and prepared to forge the second one.

As long as he could refine Flying Knife Wings, spending several more years would be worthwhile. Flying Knife Wings could absolutely be considered one of the finest magic treasures besides the Vast Heaven Mirror and the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords.

Just then, a massive phantom suddenly appeared above Tianchi Peak. It was True Person Bai Mei, the headmaster of Emei.

"Master!"

"True Person!"

Dan Chenzi and Li Chuan both respectfully bowed.

"Youquan Blood Demon has already led the disciples of the Blood Demon Palace toward Emei. This battle will inevitably spread far and wide. Right now, not far below Mount Emei, two mortal armies are engaged in battle.

"Dan Chenzi, you are the fastest. Go evacuate them at once. Have them hide as far away as possible."

True Person Bai Mei gave his orders.

"This disciple accepts!"

With a flap of his Flying Knife Wings, Dan Chenzi was already flying away from Tianchi Peak.

"Li Qingfeng, come to the main peak and prepare to face the enemy at any time!"

After leaving those words behind, True Person Bai Mei’s phantom gradually dissipated.

Li Chuan immediately controlled the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl and flew toward the main peak.

"I’ve been so absorbed in artifact refining that I nearly forgot about Youquan Blood Demon."

For the past three months, he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to learning artifact refining from Dan Chenzi and had even forgotten something as important as Youquan Blood Demon’s attack on Emei.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected had happened.

By the time he arrived at the main peak, the plaza was already filled with people.

Besides the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, Duan Lei, the Seven Sons of the Clouds, and three hundred Qingcheng disciples, there were also his master, his three martial uncles, and two Nascent Soul masters and eight Golden Core Zen masters from Mount Wutai who had come to help.

Regarding Youquan Blood Demon’s attack on Emei, True Person Bai Mei had only notified Master Zunsheng, the abbot of Mount Wutai.

However, Master Zunsheng did not dare come personally to help Emei deal with Youquan Blood Demon. If Youquan Blood Demon was merely using an attack on Emei as a pretense while actually attacking Mount Wutai, Mount Wutai would be in danger.

Still, he had sent several of the sect’s strongest disciples to lend their support.

"Master, Martial Uncles, when the fighting starts, stay behind me."

After landing in the plaza, Li Chuan gave Daoist Qingzhu and his three martial uncles a reminder.

According to the original plot, they were not actually in any danger, but who knew whether his presence might cause some butterfly effect.

"Bai Mei, you despicable, shameless bastard! You actually found two little brats to die in your place! So these are the disciples you taught—people who believe in that hypocritical mask of false benevolence and righteousness!"

Not long after Li Chuan landed in the plaza, a gigantic skull, as large as a small mountain and formed entirely from condensed blood, suddenly appeared in the sky more than ten kilometers away.

The skull opened and closed its mouth, unleashing earth-shaking mockery toward Mount Emei.

"This provocation!"

Li Chuan knew that Dan Chenzi and Xuantian Sect of Kunlun must have encountered Youquan Blood Demon while dispersing the human armies. Youquan Blood Demon was taking the opportunity to mock Bai Mei, hoping to use Bai Mei’s power to open the Blood Cave.

Boom!

The mountain-sized bloody skull spat several times, launching several blood-red masses of energy as large as meteors toward Emei.

If those energies struck, Emei’s main peak would likely be blown apart.

"Vast Heaven Mirror!"

True Person Bai Mei’s primordial spirit instantly expanded to a thousand meters tall. Holding the Vast Heaven Mirror, he easily blocked the meteor-like attack.

"The strength of a peak Earth Immortal truly is terrifying!"

Watching the enormous blood-red energy flying toward them and True Person Bai Mei’s thousand-meter primordial spirit wielding the Vast Heaven Mirror, Li Chuan could not help sighing.

If he had faced Youquan’s casual attack, he probably would have had no way to withstand it other than teleporting away.

Youquan Blood Demon and True Person Bai Mei were both peak Earth Immortals. However, Bai Mei could advance to the Heavenly Immortal realm at any moment but had forcibly suppressed his cultivation. With the Vast Heaven Mirror in hand, he was somewhat stronger.

"Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, Seven Sons of the Clouds, three hundred Qingcheng disciples, and fellow Daoists, follow me to Panluo Valley to subdue demons and vanquish devils!"

After blocking Youquan’s attack, Bai Mei’s primordial spirit returned to his body. With a command to everyone in the plaza, he flew through the air toward Youquan Blood Demon with his hands clasped behind his back.

Even without using a magic treasure, his flying speed was far faster than Dan Chenzi’s Flying Knife Wings.

"Yes!"

Everyone in the plaza immediately released their flying swords and magic treasures and followed closely behind. Li Chuan was no exception.

However, by the time they arrived, Youquan Blood Demon’s blood skull had already been shattered by True Person Bai Mei, his true body immobilized, and he had then escaped using Dan Chenzi’s flying knives.

Thus, everyone could only follow Bai Mei’s Vast Heaven Mirror to track Youquan Blood Demon’s whereabouts.

A moment later, the white light tracked by the Vast Heaven Mirror stopped moving above a small valley, and everyone descended as well.
