Chapter 49 The Calamity of the Blood Lotus Cult
Ji Lin punched down at the base of the enormous blood lotus.
Bang!
With a loud bang, a spray of blood erupted.
He once again used the skill characteristics of [Shadow Strike] to flash behind a Demon Guard.
Although his skill activation efficiency improved significantly after the breakthrough, he also felt that the series of operations he had just performed caused his energy to drop rapidly.
Only then did he realize that as his level increased, his skill cooldown decreased, his power increased, and he also consumed more energy.
With his powerful attack, the skulls that had been flying around fell to the ground, and several Demon Guards who had been affected by the mental attack began to regain their senses.
Even the red light on the Blood Lotus Saint Mother flickered a few times, as if the attack had momentarily stunned her.
Qin Feng and Zhang Liang were both very surprised. It turned out that the kid's talk about enhancing agility could actually enhance it to this extent.
Moreover, that punch just now was clearly at a transcendent level, and its speed was no less than that of the two of them.
Although his strength is not as good as the two, he is a genuine mid-to-mid-level Awakener.
It turns out they had underestimated the young master of the Ji family.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel admiration; it was astonishing that someone from such a small county could achieve such a level.
To achieve such extraordinary strength is one in ten thousand, even in a prefecture.
Aside from a few high-ranking members of major powers, it's nearly impossible for most people to reach that level in their lifetime.
However, Qin Feng felt that this person was no less dangerous than the Blood Lotus Saintess in front of him, and he had to get rid of him as soon as possible, both for public and private reasons.
"Run! Run!!!"
In the instant the group was stunned, one of the demon-suppressing guards seemed to have lost his mind, suddenly shouted and ran out.
"Don't go out!! It's dangerous!!!" Ji Lin shouted, not daring to stop him.
In the darkness, no one knows what's inside. Those with extensive experience with unusual events would never venture into unknown areas under the watchful eyes of anomalies.
When faced with unusual events, we often act counterintuitively. What seems like a way out to you is often a dead end.
"Pfft!!"
With a tearing sound, the footsteps and silhouettes in the distance vanished instantly.
Ji Lin sighed deeply. If that person hadn't suffered some kind of mental torment, he probably wouldn't have acted so recklessly.
The surroundings have changed. The bewitching array from before was already quite terrifying, but now that the Blood Lotus Saint Mother has appeared, it will only be more dangerous than before.
"Old Wu!!" Qin Feng exclaimed helplessly.
Of the five people brought in, only one Awakened One under Qin Feng's command remained, along with one Awakened One and one martial artist brought by Zhang Liang.
Upon seeing this, the five members of the Demon Suppression Palace felt a chill run down their spines. More than sadness, fear and oppression were their strongest feelings.
"My children, although you have been disrespectful to the Virgin Mary, as long as you give up your resistance and become divine with her, your mother will still forgive you!!"
Just then, the Blood Lotus Mother regained consciousness.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and their bodies trembled slightly.
When Ji Lin heard the words "become a god," his heart skipped a beat.
What? It wants to become a god too? And it can become a god by sucking the blood and flesh of mortals? What a joke! This is outrageous!
No, maybe it's about turning people into abnormal beings first, and then absorbing their energy.
Having this ability, what's the difference between that and cheating?
Blood Lotus Saint Mother extended a blood vessel, covered with thin branches and as thick as three feet, from her roots. It moved with incredible speed and attacked the Awakened one under Zhang Liang's command.
The man couldn't dodge in time and was sucked into the thin branch of the giant blood vessel, being pulled into the blood lotus.
"Old dog, hang in there!!"
Seeing this, Qin Feng, in a moment of desperation, suddenly took out a bronze mirror from his bosom.
With a thought, the mirror rose into the air, emitting a bright golden light that flashed towards the Blood Lotus Saint Mother.
"Ugh!!! This damn mirror!!"
After the Blood Lotus Mother was illuminated by the golden light, the awakened one was thrown to the ground, seemingly unable to open his eyes.
Zhang Liang rushed over and dragged the old dog's body out. "Old dog, you..."
He was about to say something when he saw that his body was covered with blood-red patterns, which emitted a faint red glow, and the glow was getting brighter and brighter.
"Oh no!!" He immediately abandoned the old dog's body and quickly retreated.
boom! !
Almost simultaneously, the old dog's body suddenly swelled up, then quickly exploded, turning into a ball of scalding blood, with wisps of smoke rising from the ground.
The stench of the blood was nothing compared to the stench of the Blood Lotus Saint Mother at the scene.
Although the Blood Lotus Mother was temporarily blinded, she was still able to determine the location of the group by sensing their surroundings.
So the thick blood vessel attacked the most powerful demonic fetus—Ji Lin.
"Young Master Ji, be careful!" Zhang Liang warned, hoping he could hold on a little longer to buy time to come up with a solution.
Ji Lin was startled. He quickly transformed his legs into demonic forms and used [Boiled Blood] to increase his jumping ability, thus dodging the attack.
Blood Lotus Saintess, unable to catch him after several attempts, quickly turned and captured the Awakened one under Zhang Liang's command.
"puff!!"
The awakened one instantly disappeared into the blood lotus.
"That damned Blood Lotus bitch!!!" Zhang Liang shouted.
"Junior brother, stay away from that kid. He's the only demonic fetus left now."
Qin Feng said something and then quickly fled from his original location.
The group snapped out of their daze and stared intently at Ji Lin's position.
Ji Lin was drenched in sweat, and his clenched fists were trembling uncontrollably.
"Young Master Ji, please hold on a little longer! We are sure we can find a way to save you!!"
Zhang Liang aimed his longsword at the slightly pulsating blood vessel.
He felt that they couldn't stand idly by at this time; if Ji Lin couldn't hold on, they would be the ones who would die in the end.
Seeing this, Qin Feng shook his head at him, signaling him not to do anything foolish.
If he can only wait out the cooldown of the bronze mirror, he can activate it again, live a little longer, and perhaps a miracle will occur.
"My children, I know where you are hiding. Come into your mother's arms. Hehehehe." The Blood Lotus Mother let out a chilling laugh.
Then a thick blood vessel suddenly protruded, and Zhang Liang, standing to the side, used the [Phantom Sword] to unleash several sword shadows.
The sword strikes only made a few cuts on the blood vessels; Zhang Liang's remaining true energy was insufficient for him to unleash his full martial arts moves.
To their surprise, the blood vessel actually grabbed at the remaining martial artist.
Qin Feng and Zhang Liang were both dumbfounded.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!" Qin Feng roared.
He had used this bronze mirror many times before, and it had once helped the garrison commander eliminate a high-level anomaly, so he knew best whether it was effective or not.
Suddenly, he remembered a legend about fish in the Huai River.
Because there are many powerful anomalies in the Huai River, the fish in the Huai River also have certain abnormal energy.
Although the Huaihe River fish are not truly abnormal, and their abnormal energy is not high, many ordinary people and those with abnormalities often catch and eat them.
Ordinary people can strive for a sliver of a chance to become an anomaly, while an anomaly can also gradually improve their strength.
Although the effect is mediocre, it's better than nothing, and much better than directly facing those horrific events.
They've eaten plenty of Huai River fish provided by Ji Lin these past two days, and they're finding it increasingly addictive.
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and glared fiercely at Ji Lin.
Qin Feng pretended to change his position, suddenly appeared behind Ji Lin, and kicked him towards the Blood Lotus Saint Mother.
"It was you who did this, you little brat!!!"
"Damn it!! You son of a bitch!!!" Ji Lin cursed loudly.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?!" Zhang Liang stomped his feet in anger.
The blood vessel didn't miss this opportunity either, and quickly reached out to grab Ji Lin...
