Chapter 483 - 483 Members of the Demonic Race
483 Members of the Demonic Race
There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Gu Xi decided to give up the idea of looking for the next teleportation portal. He sniffed a few more times until he confirmed that there was a faint smell of blood in the air. He turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
“You’d better not let me run into you.” Gu Xi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He turned around and walked slowly in the direction of the smell of blood. He went deep into the forest again, and it did not take long for the smell of blood in the air to become more and more obvious.
He was clear that he was about to reach his destination.
At a certain moment, he stopped again. Looking around, he saw a figure sitting cross-legged under a towering tree not far away. The figure was covered in blood, and because of the distance, his appearance could not be seen clearly. Beside him was the corpse of a huge demon beast, which had obviously fallen in the hands of a man.
Gu Xi did not choose to approach rashly, but used his majestic divine sense to quietly approach the man’s position. In just a few breaths, he was already close to the man’s body. Feeling the unconcealed strong Blood Qi on the man’s body, his face completely sank.
This man must be from one of the outer realm demonic race!
Although he was not sure if this guy was a member of the Blood Spirit Society, Gu Xi had a conclusion in his heart based on the familiar and strong Blood Qi and evil aura on his body.
“Eh?” Perhaps it was because of the emotional fluctuation, Gu Xi’s revealed a trace of his divine sense, which woke the man who was cultivating.
“Who’s there!?”
The man shouted and threw a sharp blood-red ribbon at Gu Xi’s hiding place.
Boom–
After the sound of an explosion, the flowers and trees where Gu Xi was hiding were almost instantly eroded, and his figure had long disappeared.
“Could it be an illusion?” The man frowned when he saw that no one was around.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect that I would be lucky enough to see a cultivator from the demonic race in the deep mountains and forests. It’s really a great fortune!”
At this moment, Gu Xi’s voice suddenly sounded. The man stood up like a bird startled by the twang of a bow and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice. He saw Gu Xi standing on the branch of a towering tree, looking down at the man below.
“Who are you?” The man squinted his eyes slightly, obviously surprised that Gu Xi had exposed his identity. At the same time, a strong killing intent towards Gu Xi had already risen in his heart.
For the forerunners of the outer realm demonic race, the identity that they had tried so hard to hide was undoubtedly the most important thing. Over the years, it was not that no one had accidentally discovered or suspected their identity, but all of them were no longer alive.
“Who I am is not important. What’s important is… why are you here?” Gu Xi’s expression gradually became serious. Although he had roughly guessed the man’s purpose here, he still wanted a definite answer.
“What’s wrong? Do you think this barren mountain range is your family’s land?” The man smiled disdainfully, obviously not intending to answer the question.
“Although it doesn’t belong to my family, it belongs to everyone in the Eastern Continent. It definitely doesn’t belong to your people from the outer realm.”
Gu Xi jumped and landed not far from the man. He stared at the man with cold eyes and continued, “Tell me your plan, and I’ll let you die a quick death.”
Hearing this, the man could not help but laugh out loud. However, his smile quickly disappeared and was replaced by an undisguised killing intent. He said in a deep voice, “After so many years, you’re the first person I’ve met who can directly expose my identity. You’re also the first person who has the guts to challenge me.”
“Believe me, you’re the first, but you will also be the last.”
“Although I don’t know how you found this place, or what kind of strength you have to make you so confident, you’re going to be a dead man soon.”
As soon as the man finished speaking, a scarlet spiritual power filled the air around the man. A strong and nauseating smell of blood hit Gu Xi’s face, making him frown.
“It seems like you won’t open your mouth so easily if I don’t teach you a lesson.” Gu Xi smiled, and a vast spiritual power surged out of his body, forming an equal stand with the Blood Qi that filled the sky. “I hope that when I break your legs later, you can still be as tough as you are now.”
As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, the space around him suddenly began to churn. The next moment, a long crack was torn open, and the gray space swallowed Gu Xi whole like a big mouth.
“Spatial power? A Great Saint cultivator?”
The man’s pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip at this sight, and he could not help but cry out in surprise. However, he quickly calmed himself down, and at the same time, the Blood Qi in a radius of several kilometers quickly shrank toward him, forming a blood-colored barrier that tightly enveloped him.
“Your reaction is not bad, but your little tricks are useless.” Just as the man was looking around vigilantly, ready to face Gu Xi’s sneak attack at any time, Gu Xi’s voice rang out from all directions.
“Damn it! How can there be such a young Great Saint in the Eastern Continent?!”
A large amount of blood-colored spiritual energy gushed out from the man’s body, and even his pupils were bloodshot under the influence of the Blood Qi, making him look a little terrifying at this time.
“There are still many things you can’t imagine.” Gu Xi’s voice sounded again, and the man’s body instantly straightened.
A strong hand landed firmly on the man’s shoulder. The man’s eyes were wide open, filled with fear and disbelief.
He had never thought that Gu Xi would be able to get so close to him without him noticing it, despite him putting in all his effort to defend himself!
“Die!” Without time to think, the man roared and forcefully turned his body around. He suddenly slammed his palm at Gu Xi’s position, only to see that his palm was constantly oozing thick blood, and almost instantly, his entire palm was covered in blood.
Whoosh–
With a whooshing sound, the palm strike was unleashed, but it did not hit anything.
The man looked up and saw that there was no one behind him, as if everything that had happened earlier was an illusion.
