CHAPTER 920: BLOOD ESSENCE SOUL REFINEMENT

Translator: CinderTL

Mi He’s hands moved like phantoms, her fingertips flashing with spiritual light as several complex magic seals instantly materialized.

Using the three Rainbow Skirt Grass plants she had obtained from the Silver Wolf Clan, she had concocted a batch of Bloodthirsty Frenzied Beast Pills.

These pills could stimulate a demon beast’s primal instincts, driving it into an uncontrollable frenzy.

She had placed one Bloodthirsty Frenzied Beast Pill inside each of the two demon beast corpses she had fed to the Ice Soul Spider and the Blood Wraith Beast.

The corpses had been refined with a Secret Art, making them difficult for the two Spirit Beasts to digest quickly. The magic seals she was currently forming were meant to dismember the corpses, allowing the medicinal pill’s effects to explode.

Suddenly, the Ice Soul Spider guarding Yang Yu erupted into a frenzy.

Its eyes turned blood red, filled with savage fury, and it hissed sharply.

Its massive mouth snapped open, revealing razor-sharp fangs, and it spewed out icy cold air.

Its eight long legs thrashed wildly, tearing through the air with a piercing screech. One of its spear-like front limbs lunged directly at Yang Yu.

Yang Yu’s expression changed drastically as he hastily dodged the attack.

"Mi He, how dare you scheme against me! I, Yang Yu, swear by the heavens that I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!" Yang Yu roared, his fury threatening to consume the entire world.

"Yang Yu, you’ve run out of chances," Song Wen’s voice drifted through the air. "Today is your day of reckoning!"

As the words fell, the sky above churned with wind and clouds, and another bolt of purple lightning descended from the heavens.

Mi He gazed up at the thunderbolt piercing through the clouds and illuminating the sky, her eyes filled with deep shock. She muttered to herself, "How can Ji Yin’s Thunder Magic be so powerful? I fear I wouldn’t survive even a single strike. No wonder he managed to escape unscathed from the combined assault of Yang Yu, Gui Ni, and Xue Mei."

Lan Chen, standing nearby, said, "Fellow Daoist Mi He, not even a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator like myself could withstand this thunder. Without his Spirit Beast’s aid, Yang Yu’s strength has been severely weakened. He’s doomed to suffer a devastating blow!"

Meanwhile, as the target of the thunderbolt, Yang Yu felt the full force of the Purple Mansion Divine Thunder’s world-shattering power. Yet, his face remained devoid of panic. His eyes, cold as stars, were fixed on Song Wen.

"Ji Yin, you were nothing more than a traitor to the Beastmaster Sect back then. You groveled before me, wagging your tail like a beggar. You’re not worthy to kill me."

Yang Yu opened his mouth and spat out two streams of blood essence like arrows, each striking the Ice Soul Spider and the Blood Wraith Beast.

"Mi He, do you really think such petty tricks can sever my connection with these two Spirit Beasts? You’re utterly ignorant!"

As the blood arrows pierced their flesh, the blood essence instantly merged into their bodies.

Their frenzied states ceased abruptly, replaced by a numb, vacant stillness. Like puppets controlled by invisible strings, they returned to Yang Yu’s control.

The Ice Soul Spider’s massive maw opened wide, spewing forth a torrent of icy mist to meet the thunderbolts crashing down from the heavens.

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Yu merged once more with the Blood Wraith Beast, transforming into a monstrous, ten-foot-tall abomination.

With a thought, he summoned back the shield, gathering all his strength to hurl it forward.

The shield spun like a giant flying wheel, slicing through the sky and hurtling towards the thunderbolts.

The combined assault of the icy mist and the shield shattered the thunderbolts, scattering them into countless tiny sparks of lightning that drifted through the heavens and earth.

"Blood Essence Soul Refinement Art! This... this is impossible!"

Mi He cried out in shock, her voice filled with disbelief and a hint of anger.

"Yang Yu, the Ice Soul Spider and the Blood Wraith Beast were cultivated over many years by several generations of Grand Elders of the Beastmaster Sect. They are the shared property of the entire sect. Yet you’ve refined their Demon Souls, making them subservient only to you. When you die, they will perish with you. How utterly despicable!"

"Every man for himself! What use are they if they can’t truly submit to me?" Yang Yu retorted.

Mi He turned to Lan Chen, her voice urgent. "Immortal Maiden Lan Chen, please intervene and kill Yang Yu. If he escapes, he will become an endless source of trouble."

Lan Chen nodded slightly, and a Jade Ruyi suddenly appeared in her hand.

Just as Lan Chen was about to activate the Jade Ruyi, Song Wen’s voice cut through the air.

"Lan Chen, you don’t need to intervene. Just hold the line and prevent Yang Yu from escaping. I alone am enough to kill him!"

"Hmph!" Yang Yu snorted coldly. "Ji Yin brat, how dare you speak such arrogant words!"

"Spouting nonsense, Yang Yu? You’ll soon change your tune," Song Wen said calmly.

As Song Wen’s words faded, a Blood Wall hundreds of miles wide suddenly rose from the dense forest below, blocking Yang Yu’s path back to the Beastmaster Sect.

However, the Blood Wall also trapped Lan Chen and Mi He, preventing them from attacking Yang Yu.

While Yang Yu was using the Blood Essence Soul Refinement Art to withstand the second bolt of Purple Mansion Divine Thunder, Song Wen secretly activated the Blood Sea Seal, concealing himself within the forest.

This location was too close to the Beastmaster Sect, and Yang Yu could escape back at any moment. Song Wen had to be cautious.

Yang Yu stared at the crimson Blood Wall, his face as dark as a deep pool.

Thirty years ago, he had participated in the ambush against Song Wen, giving him a far deeper understanding of Song Wen’s strength than Lan Chen and Mi He possessed.

Compared to that time, Song Wen’s power had advanced significantly. Yang Yu knew he was no match for him.

Moreover, Lan Chen, a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator skilled in Spirit Sense control, was watching him like a hawk, posing a significant threat.

Therefore, Yang Yu had never intended to fight head-on. His plan was to have the Ice Soul Spider stall Song Wen while the Blood Wraith Beast shielded him from Lan Chen’s Spirit Sense control, allowing him to escape back to the Beastmaster Sect.

With his cultivation, personally controlling the Beastmaster Sect’s Sect Protection Array, Song Wen and Lan Chen had no chance of breaking through it.

However, the sudden rise of the blood wall shattered that hope entirely.

In the current situation, his only chance of survival lay in defeating Song Wen.

"Ji Yin, don’t think you’ve already won. I, Yang Yu, will not be slaughtered like a lamb!"

Yang Yu recalled his flying sword and shield, holding the sword in one hand and the shield in the other. He charged at Song Wen with a ferocious lunge.

The monster he had transformed into possessed immense strength and formidable physical defenses, making it a formidable close-combatant.

The Ice Soul Spider followed closely behind him, its tail spewing a vast white web that spanned several miles, descending upon Song Wen like a shroud.

Song Wen’s form flickered, transforming into a three-zhang Giant Corpse shrouded in eerie Corpse Qi.

The Corpse Qi coalesced into a roaring black dragon that surged toward the web.

The web shattered instantly, disintegrating into countless floating fragments that scattered through the air.

But the Corpse Qi dragon was also torn apart by the web, its fragments scattering in all directions.
