Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 887

Han Li could feel the beast’s menacing aura without turning his head.

‘Damn it!’

Faced with the Nether Lightning Beast’s rapid movement technique, Han Li quickly dyed his pure white wings with five-colored light and disappeared into the void. When he reappeared, he had moved a great distance away.

However, surprisingly, the Nether Lightning Beast was not far behind, keeping pace with Han Li as they vanished into the horizon.

As Han Li disappeared, a green light flashed, and the Six-Legged and Lady Mi appeared.

“Let’s hurry. That Han fellow won’t last long, so we must break the restriction before then,” the Six-Legged urged.

The Demon Kings once again held their blood-colored daggers, and pillars of blood-colored light surged toward the black light barrier. This time, the light pillars transformed into blood-colored snakes, baring sharp claws and teeth as they lunged forward.

KWAANG!

The power was far greater than when they first lured the Nether Lightning Beast. Then, a giant insect shadow appeared above the Six-Legged’s head, opening its mouth and firing a black light pillar.

In response to the Six-Legged’s attack, the Blood Fiends enlarged the Blood Puppet’s body, and Mokcheong, who had been rooted deep in the ground, returned his lower body to its original form.

The Demon Kings gathered their strength and unleashed pillars of blood-colored light.

PACHIK.

The blood-colored light pillars emitted by the Demon Kings connected, transforming into a giant blade that struck the black light barrier.

As blood-colored and black light rained down, the light barrier flickered. A moment later, the Blood Puppet, now thousands of feet tall, raised a purple axe with both hands and cleaved through the black light barrier.

KURURUNG!

Numerous axe blades extended from the axe, continuously striking the black light barrier. The restriction was powerful, but when combined forces of cultivators at the Composite Body Stage [a high cultivation level] attacked, it could not withstand it for long, and a hole about a dozen feet in size was created.

The hole began to shrink again, emitting black light, but that amount of time was enough for the Demon Kings.

“It’s done. I’ll use a secret technique to fix the entrance!” the Six-Legged exclaimed, extending one hand and releasing eight blue light orbs. The eight blue pillar-shaped magical artifacts rapidly grew and entered the opening.

The Six-Legged laughed wildly and shot out in a streak of black light, while the blue light flashed, transforming the torn opening into a neat, rectangular passage. It looked as if the passage had always been there.

“Hahaha! I’ll go in first.”

The Blood Fiends exchanged glances and quickly shrunk the Blood Puppet before entering the passage. However, for some reason, they left one of the Blood Fiends behind. Lady Mi with white hair paused when she saw this.

On one side, Mokcheong gathered the light strands he had scattered around and approached Lady Mi.

“Cultivator Nam, are you taking your disciples in with you? Even if we lured away the Nether Lightning Beast, we don’t know what dangers lie ahead. If they go in with such low cultivation, they will surely meet with disaster. Geumryeong! You stay outside and guard.”

Mokcheong ordered Geumryeong, then rode a golden flower into the passage. Geumryeong bowed slightly and remained in place. Lady Mi with white hair narrowed her eyes and stared blankly at Won-yo and Yeon-ryeo.

“Hmph, it’s more reassuring to leave them outside! You two, follow me inside.”

She formed a hand seal, enveloping the two women in gray yin wind [a type of dark energy], and entered the passage with them.

“Let’s guard the entrance for a while. If things go smoothly, we’ll soon return with the Nether Divine Milk.”

The Blood Fiend said to Geumryeong.

“I hope so too. I will follow your orders for the defense here, Senior.”

“Haha, are you doubting that I am not the Blood Fiend’s main body but an incarnation?”

“How could you say that? The Master said that Senior Blood Fiend has mastered a powerful divine ability to divide his soul. We know that both of you are Senior Blood Fiend’s main body and incarnations at the same time.”

“Cultivator Mok knows quite a bit about this old man’s affairs.”

Geumryeong paused at the Blood Fiend’s words, then laughed it off and scanned the surroundings. Besides them, there were three other high-level demons. The high-level demons, who had already taken human form, were quietly waiting apart from them.

The Blood Fiend was about to say something to the high-level demons when he suddenly grabbed at the air with one hand. A huge, blood-colored hand appeared, reeking of fish, and slashed through the air.

KUNG!

Silver light flashed, and unexpectedly, the giant blood-colored hand was cut in two. Soon, a puppet wearing blood-colored armor appeared from under the silver light, its face expressionless.

“The Floating Clan?” Geumryeong exclaimed in surprise.

“Be careful! It’s not an ordinary Blood Armor Puppet, but a puppet possessed by a high-level member of the Floating Clan,” the Blood Fiend’s voice came from the side. He narrowed his eyes, staring at the silver light. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t tell what was inside.

The Blood Fiend became more vigilant and remained still, while Geumryeong also looked cautious, his eyes flashing with golden light. However, the silver light, which was invisible to the Blood Fiend, was clearly visible to Geumryeong’s spirit eyes [a special vision ability].

Inside, there was something like a silver coiling dragon.

“That is…”

Geumryeong couldn’t identify the treasure, but he guessed it was a sword-type treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to cut through the giant blood-colored hand’s attack.

“Aren’t you just remnants of the Floating Clan? If you had escaped our notice, you should have hidden and tried to survive. Why are you foolishly showing yourselves again? It seems like you’re eager to die,” the Blood Fiend sneered sharply.

“Hide and try to survive? If we hadn’t been fighting in puppets, we wouldn’t have lost. It seems that all but a few of you have entered the pond. You’re like rats in a trap, and all that’s left is to beat you all down.”

“Just you alone?”

“What if I have the Five Dragon Cleaver with me!”

As soon as the Blood Armor Puppet finished speaking, it pointed at the air with one hand. A dragon’s roar was heard, and a mirror-smooth silver cleaver fell into the Blood Armor Puppet’s hand.

“Five Dragon Cleaver! I think I’ve heard of that somewhere…” The Blood Fiend looked at the silver cleaver with a puzzled expression.

“Does it matter? What matters is that you will die by the Five Dragon Cleaver today.”

Having finished speaking, the Blood Armor Puppet immediately raised the silver cleaver and pointed it at the opposite side of the air. Geumryeong and the Blood Fiend didn’t know what kind of treasure it was, but they immediately jumped to the left and right to avoid it.

However, the three cleaver phantoms targeted the three high-level demons who had barely survived until now.

“Ah…”

The high-level demons were unable to dodge because of the speed. After the light passed, the demons who fell to the ground were all cut in two. Then, the light flashed again, and the three cleaver phantoms disappeared.

Geumryeong and the Blood Fiend were shocked by this. Geumryeong turned to run away, and the Blood Fiend shook his sleeves, summoning blood-colored energy.

Seeing this, the Blood Armor Puppet sneered and flashed the silver cleaver in its hand again. This time, four cleaver phantoms fell from above Geumryeong and the Blood Fiend’s heads simultaneously.

Geumryeong, greatly alarmed, shook his shoulders. The two daggers carried by the golden monkey transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the cleaver phantoms.

SWISH!

The two daggers fell to the ground in four pieces.

‘This is bad!’

At that moment, a silver phantom flashed and fell, and sensing an ominous feeling, Geumryeong quickly blurred his form. In the end, the cleaver phantom cut through the air, and Geumryeong appeared about a dozen feet away, flashing with golden light.

However, before he could fully reveal himself, another cleaver phantom flew at him from the front. The next moment, the head of the large monkey was cut off. Geumryeong’s headless corpse staggered and eventually fell to the ground.

Watching this from afar, the Blood Armor Puppet opened the cleaver and shot out a green fireball from within. The fireball flew towards the miniature golden monkey wrapped in green flames.

“Hmph!” The Blood Armor Puppet shook its hand, and silver light flashed on the surface of the cleaver, and Geumryeong’s miserable scream was heard. When the green flames disappeared, the Blood Armor Puppet’s gaze was already directed elsewhere.

The Blood Fiend was releasing a blood-colored mist to defend himself flawlessly. Two cleaver phantoms continued to cut at the Blood Fiend, but he still dodged the attacks with strange movements.

The Blood Armor Puppet’s eyes flashed green, and it suddenly threw the cleaver in its hand forward. Silver light spread greatly from the cleaver, and countless cleaver phantoms appeared in the air.

‘Hah!’

Even the composed Blood Fiend was shocked by this. Without further hesitation, he gathered his blood-colored energy and flew towards the blue passage not far away. He had judged that he could not defeat an opponent wielding the cleaver.

However, the Blood Fiend did not know that the Five Dragon Cleaver was only now beginning to reveal its true power.

KWAGWANG!

The Blood Armor Puppet formed a hand seal with both hands, and the silver cleaver phantoms in the air disappeared. With a thunderous sound, the silver cleaver transformed into five different-colored dragons.

The dragons circled in the air and then, surprisingly, transformed into five giant blades and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, five blades appeared above the blue passage and cut something. And below that was the blood-colored cloud that enveloped the Blood Fiend.

As the giant blades flew in, the Blood Fiend released blood-colored energy from his entire body. However, the five blades rotated outward and disappeared on the spot, then simultaneously struck the side of the blood-colored cloud.

It was as if five silver rivers were swirling. The blood-colored cloud was helplessly pushed back by the cold silver light and could not block the attack at all.

Terrified, the Blood Fiend gave up on the secret technique he was about to unleash and shook his sleeves while opening his mouth. A blue shield, a red cloth, and a round bowl popped out at the same time. The three treasures emitted a great light, and their aura was extraordinary, unlike ordinary treasures.

Soon, blue, red, and white protective barriers spread around the Blood Fiend. However, he did not stop there and spat out several mouthfuls of blood to soak a green talisman.

POONG!

A lump of blood exploded, and a purple mist enveloped him, creating purple armor on his body. It was very elaborate, and lightning flowed on its surface.

At that moment, silver light broke through all the blood-colored mist and approached.

CHWAAK!

The silver light, which had cut through three layers of protective barriers in one go, sharply cleaved the Blood Fiend.

KEUREUNG!

The purple armor emitted energy, briefly stopping the silver light, but it was only for a moment. The five silver lights circled around the armor, and the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed.

SWISH!

The purple armor was cut off at the Blood Fiend’s waist. In despair, he detonated over a hundred talismans and a dozen different treasures in succession.

However, all the talismans and treasures were reduced to dust by the silver light. With a miserable scream, the Blood Fiend was engulfed by the five silver lights and disappeared. There was no time for his nascent soul [a cultivator’s core essence] to escape.

“To try and stop the Five Dragon Cleaver with mere treasures, how pathetic!” He grabbed at the air, and the five giant blades that had been floating far away transformed into dragon phantoms and returned. The five dragons merged into one above the Blood Armor Puppet’s head, transforming into a silver cleaver and falling down.

As he was about to receive the cleaver with a smirk, the Blood Armor Puppet suddenly staggered as if dizzy. Fortunately, he quickly regained his balance, but he looked troubled. He took a deep breath and collected the cleaver.

WOONG!

The cleaver shone brightly and trembled.

“Its power is immense, and the consumption of consciousness is enormous! I must finish this quickly.”

At that moment, an eerie wind blew from afar, and black clouds were approaching from the horizon. Suddenly, the sky above the Blood Armor Puppet was covered with black clouds.

Several high-level ghost creatures, wrapped in yin wind, descended and bowed respectfully in front of the Blood Armor Puppet.

“Did you do as I asked?”

“Rest assured. Once you enter, we will seal the entrance with a formation. Even if the intruders manage to avoid you, they will not be able to get out of here for a while.”

“Half of you will follow me inside, and the rest will stay behind to set up the formation. They may have managed to get past one Nether Lightning Beast, but they would never dream that the Nether Lightning Beast guarding the Nether Divine Milk is a pair!” The Blood Armor Puppet smiled as he looked at the dark clouds above his head.
