CHAPTER 572: CHAPTER 572: KILLING INTENT

Boom!

When the fire waves once again covered the Undying Sea, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, as many Martial Artists had been swallowed by the Undying Sea due to their carelessness.

"The Undying Sea is indeed perilous!"

Huang Ning said with lingering fear, sighing slightly.

"The dangers of the Undying Sea are far from just this. The allure of the Undying Flower attracts many Martial Artists. Our greatest enemies are likely to be these Martial Artists."

Upon hearing Huang Ning’s words, Wang Feng warned.

Hearing this, the newly joined members were no fools. They had all cultivated to the Guiyuan Realm and naturally understood the implication. To kill and rob for the Undying Flower was a common occurrence.

"Keep moving!"

The group flew deeper into the Undying Sea. As they continued forward, the surrounding temperature grew increasingly higher, the sweat soaking through their clothes.

For half a month, the Blood Cloud Squad searched the Undying Sea for the Undying Flower, but perhaps due to bad luck, they didn’t even catch a shadow of the flower, leaving everyone feeling downcast and dejected.

They searched in multiple directions, flying all over the Undying Sea. In half a month, they had covered nearly a tenth of its total area.

Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink...

At this moment, the sound of intense blade clashes rang out continuously, accompanied by shouts, causing the hearts of the Blood Cloud Squad to jolt.

"Find out!"

A gleam flashed in Wei Hu’s eyes as he led the way, flying toward the source of the battle. Generally, Martial Artists in the Undying Sea would avoid conflict since they all came for the Undying Flower. But once a fight broke out, it meant the Undying Flower had appeared.

Huang Ning and Elder Bai Yue were eager to try, even though they knew they wouldn’t get the Undying Flower. Witnessing the legendary artifact would still be a valuable experience.

When the Blood Cloud Squad members arrived at the battleground, they saw over a dozen Demon Beasts fighting each other. Blood streamed from their bodies, dripping into the flames, making hissing sounds. The violent energy made the fire waves toss endlessly.

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes. These Demon Beasts were strong, especially one black-eyed demonic eagle, which was a Tier Eight Overlord Demon Beast.

Its wings covered the sky, its eyes were a cold black-red, and its black feathers were like countless sharp swords piercing the sky. With a light flap, it could blow the other Demon Beasts away a hundred meters, leaving them in disarray.

Wei Hu didn’t hide his presence. The moment he appeared, his powerful aura burst out directly toward the black-eyed demonic eagle.

"Take action!"

Wei Hu roared, and a fist thrust toward the black-eyed demonic eagle. Phantom images filled the air, and the fierce fist force made the entire space tremble slightly.

Chu Ming’s gaze swept over and fell not far from the Demon Beasts, where on the surface of the Undying Sea, a palm-sized fire-red flower floated. Despite being in the flames, the scorching sea of fire didn’t burn it at all. Instead, it made its color even more vibrant. A rich undying quality surrounded the flower. If Chu Ming wasn’t mistaken, this was their target—the Undying Flower.

Chu Ming wasn’t the only one who noticed the Undying Flower. North Sea’s Demon Saber Liu Dan, Iron Swordsman Xue Wuhen, and others also saw it, their eyes bursting with intense light.

Boom!

The nine members of the Blood Cloud Squad instantly clashed with the dozen Demon Beasts. The terrifying sound waves spread crazily around, and Chu Ming, with a calm expression, directly faced a Two-headed Demon Lion, killing it with one punch, blood spraying everywhere.

Wei Hu had his reasons for ordering an immediate attack. With the Blood Cloud Squad’s strength, as long as Wei Hu could hold off the black-eyed demonic eagle, the others could handle the rest. Also, attacking immediately prevented other Martial Artists from noticing the Undying Flower and meddling in their business.

Boom!

Long Yuan, adept at leg techniques, made the void tremble slightly with each kick, as if it could shatter at any moment. Facing the siege of five Demon Beasts, he showed no fear, killing one in just a few breaths.

In the Blood Cloud Squad, Huang Ning and Elder Bai Yue were clearly the weakest, but they still handled the Demon Beasts with ease.

Whoosh...

In just a dozen breaths, except for the black-eyed demonic eagle fighting Wei Hu, all the other Demon Beasts were butchered into bloody pulp. Among the Blood Cloud Squad, only North Sea’s Demon Saber Liu Dan was slightly injured.

Boom!

Facing the avid gazes of the group, the black-eyed demonic eagle hesitated, glanced at the Undying Flower nearby, then decided to respond to Wei Hu’s attack, turning into a black dot and vanishing.

Phew!

Wei Hu breathed a sigh of relief. If the black-eyed demonic eagle had fought to the end, it would have been a mutual destruction scenario, which he didn’t want to see.

Swoosh!

A gray figure swiftly flew toward the Undying Flower. It was the elder who joined the Blood Cloud Squad with Chu Ming and the others, named Daoist Thousand Crane.

With a slight wave of his arm, the Undying Flower floated to him. A look of intense fervor appeared in his eyes, with his limited life span, the Undying Flower meant everything to him.

Boom!

A terrifying noise echoed in the air, and then a horrid purple light streaked across the void. Wei Hu’s body turned into a blur, and before Daoist Thousand Crane could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a blood-red fist pierce through his chest, blood dripping.

Boom!

With a gentle clench of his fist, the terrifying force shattered Daoist Thousand Crane’s body to pieces.

Hiss!

Huang Ning and Elder Bai Yue’s expressions changed dramatically, an icy chill surging from their hearts to their heads.

Splat!

Wei Hu’s face was cold and indifferent, almost as if he had become a different person. He sliced through the sea of fire with his hand, plucking the Undying Flower.

Chu Ming’s eyes narrowed. It wasn’t right for Daoist Thousand Crane to silently try and pick the Undying Flower, but Wei Hu slaughtering him outright was even harder to understand. The underlying tension was fascinating.

Wei Hu took out a Jade Box, placed the Undying Flower inside, then turned and signaled to Wang Feng and Long Yuan. The two nodded slightly and immediately blocked Chu Ming and the others from two directions.

North Sea’s Demon Saber Liu Dan’s face twisted with confusion and then anger as he questioned Wei Hu, "Wei Hu, what do you mean by this?"

Wei Hu’s expression remained cold and he glanced at everyone with eyes filled with murderous intent, as if looking at dead people.

"You all must die!"

Wei Hu’s voice was icy as he responded.
