Chapter 46 begins the process of luring the enemy and hunting down evil spirit masters!
Liu Yuan completed the final tactical deployment in the dense forest, carefully considering the positioning and timing of each person's attack.
Under the cover of moonlight, Long Aotian, Chen Lu, Wang Yanfeng, and the others quickly dispersed and hid behind the pile of rocks in the deserted canyon.
They held their breath, suppressing their soul power fluctuations to the minimum, and quietly waited for their prey to fall into the trap.
Liu Yuan walked alone toward the abandoned manor that reeked of decay and bloodshed.
As they drew closer, the fishy, sweet smell in the air became increasingly strong.
As Liu Yuan stepped into the courtyard, the withered branches beneath his feet made a crisp snapping sound.
His double pupils shifted slightly, and even without deliberately activating his soul power, his eyes still detected the hidden dangers throughout the manor in the darkness.
The intelligence was indeed very accurate.
In the center of the manor's courtyard and in the side hall at the rear, there stand four huge stone pools.
The pool was filled with viscous, dark red blood, and even from a distance, one could feel the violent soul power contained within it.
That is clearly the source of the evil soul master "King of Blood" for survival and combat.
Liu Yuan did not launch an attack directly; instead, he began to execute a plan to lure the enemy.
He toned down his sharp aura and deliberately displayed the naivety of a fledgling Soul Master.
He looked around the blood pool, his expression a perfect blend of panic and curiosity.
He would pause to fiddle with the broken pieces of armor on the ground, then suddenly turn his head as if he had discovered something terrifying, his movements appearing somewhat hurried.
In Liu Yuan's double pupil vision, a figure, emaciated and wrapped in a blood-red robe, was pressed against the crossbeam of the main hall.
Those eyes, like those of a venomous snake, were fixed intently on Liu Yuan's neck.
The "King of Blood" is assessing the intruder's strength.
To completely dispel the other party's concerns, Liu Yuan deliberately stopped when passing the largest blood pool, exposing his entire back to the direction of the main hall without any defenses.
The "King of Blood," lurking in the shadows, finally succumbed to the temptation of living beings.
In his view, the boy in front of him was nothing more than a three-ring Soul Master with extremely unstable Soul Power fluctuations. This kind of prey was the best supply for him.
"Die!"
A hoarse, unpleasant voice rang out within the manor.
Suddenly, the blood in the huge pool of blood began to surge violently.
Driven by the evil spirit's power, several liters of blood instantly congealed, transforming into long, dark red thorns that gleamed with a chilling light.
These blood spikes shot out with incredible speed, aiming precisely at Liu Yuan's heart.
Liu Yuan sensed the killing intent behind him, and his body reacted the instant the blood spike was about to hit him.
But he didn't dodge completely; instead, he turned his body at an extremely dangerous angle.
"Pfft!"
The blood thorn didn't pierce his heart, but it pierced Liu Yuan's right shoulder instead.
Hot blood splattered on the ground, and Liu Yuan let out a sharp, terrified scream.
He clutched his shoulder, not daring to even turn his head, and stumbled as he pushed open the manor gate, desperately fleeing towards the previously planned canyon.
His steps were somewhat disordered, leaving a trail of messy, bloody footprints in the snow.
The figure of the "King of Blood" floated down from the beam. He stuck out his tongue and licked the bloodstains remaining on his fingertips, revealing a ferocious and triumphant smile on his face.
"Trying to run? Once you're in my territory, your flesh and blood are mine."
A thick layer of blood mist surged around the evil soul master, and a pair of huge bat wings vaguely appeared on his back. He turned into a red afterimage and chased closely behind Liu Yuan.
Meanwhile, a hundred meters away in the void, Elder Chen, who had been hiding his figure, watched this scene with a strange smile on his aged face.
He looked at Liu Yuan, who was desperately fleeing ahead, and then at the smug evil spirit master behind him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Who is ultimately destined to escape? These young people these days are quite good at acting."
...
Elder Chen remained motionless, his aura as faint as smoke, continuing to hang behind the two.
Liu Yuan kept pushing his physical strength to the limit. He did not use his full strength to activate the "Qilin Step", but maintained a speed that made the evil soul master feel that he could "catch up soon".
During this process, the evil spirit master launched several more blood arrow attacks in order to block Liu Yuan's retreat.
Liu Yuan was "unfortunate" enough to be hit twice more, and his back and legs were covered in gruesome wounds. He looked like he was at his last gasp.
Finally, Liu Yuan rushed into the ravine filled with jagged rocks.
Just as he stepped into the center of the canyon, the "King of Blood" who was chasing him from behind suddenly launched his final attack.
A blood thorn formed from concentrated essence and blood pierced through Liu Yuan's lower back.
Liu Yuan let out a muffled groan and collapsed onto the cold ground, his body convulsing, seemingly too weak to even get up.
"Run! Why have you stopped running?"
The "King of Blood" landed less than three meters behind Liu Yuan.
He looked down at the blood-covered boy, his eyes filled with greed.
He slowly raised his withered, claw-like hand, a ball of blood-red light gathering at his fingertips, preparing to completely destroy this "work of art."
However, just as he approached Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned his head.
Where was there even a trace of fear or weakness on Liu Yuan's face?
Within those double pupils, the previously hidden crimson light erupted wildly like a volcanic eruption.
"Got you?"
Liu Yuan's voice was as cold as ice in the far north.
Two thick, pillar-like red laser beams shot out from the double pupils without warning at such close range.
"boom!"
This kind of explosive power at point-blank range is something that even a Soul King-level evil Soul Master cannot react to.
The "King of Blood's" already weak defenses collapsed instantly.
The terrifyingly hot beam of light pierced straight through his chest, leaving a huge, charred hole.
"Let's do it!"
Liu Yuan's roar echoed throughout the canyon.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three incredibly powerful fluctuations of soul power erupted almost simultaneously.
Long Aotian, Chen Lu, and Wang Yanfeng, who were lying in ambush behind the rocks, had long been unable to hold back.
The moment they saw the signal, the three of them held nothing back.
Long Aotian transformed into a dark golden war god, descending from the sky. His millstone-sized fist, carrying overwhelming power, slammed heavily into the evil soul master's back.
Chen Lu and Wang Yanfeng, one on the left and one on the right, respectively unleashed the ultimate combat techniques of the Body Sect.
The shadows of fists and the imprints of palms intertwined, carrying an overwhelming momentum that instantly engulfed the evil soul master who had been severely injured by the laser-eyed man.
With a loud explosion, the body of the fifth-ring evil soul master exploded under the combined attack of three top-tier geniuses, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood mist that scattered across the rocks of the canyon.
Long Aotian landed, catching his breath. Looking at the mess on the ground, he hesitated and looked at Liu Yuan: "It's over just like that? That was too easy, wasn't it?"
Liu Yuan slowly stood up from the ground; the wounds on his shoulder and lower back were healing at an alarming rate.
He stared at the eerie bloodstains slowly flowing on the ground. The red light in his double pupils did not fade; instead, it became even more solemn.
"No, it's not over yet."
