The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 9 Chase Amidst a Night of Blood Rain
As the sun sets, the cool clouds glow red like fire.

A gentle, chilly breeze brushed against a dozen weary faces. Amidst a pile of gruesome corpses, ten wary men in black surrounded three elderly men and one young man, who were barely clinging to life…

Suddenly, a huge heat wave and a shrill wail came from behind, and the entire Weiyun Sect was engulfed in flames!
From a distance, one could see flames shooting into the sky from a mountaintop, with thick black smoke billowing upwards!

"Sect Master Ling, Sect Leader Kuye!"

Blackwater Butcher held a ball of writhing black water in his hand and gave Feng Ling and the other three a wicked smile: "You didn't expect this, did you? You'll all end up dying by my hand!"

Surrounded in the middle were Feng Ling, Ku Ye Yuan, Ling Chen, and Xue Jiu.

"Haha... Old butcher, I've fallen for your trick today, I admit defeat!"

The withered leaf ape's face shifted between purple and black, then it threw its head back and let out a shrill laugh, suddenly gritting its teeth and spitting out a mouthful of black blood: "At worst, I'll wait eighteen years, and I'll still be a hero! But..."

"You have to die! Only by going to the Yellow Springs with you can I die in peace!"

A furious roar erupted, and an aged figure suddenly burst forth, moving everyone present.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A look of horror flashed in Blackwater Butcher's eyes as he dragged his heavily injured body and clashed with the Dry Leaf Ape once more.

"puff!"

Both severely injured men coughed up blood. Blackwater Butcher looked at the blood-stained withered leaf stuck in his chest, his heart filled with shock and anger.

After being poisoned, this old guy is determined to die and is now fighting me to the death!
Just as the two were locked in a life-or-death battle, the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by darkness.

Above the Weiyun Sect, flames soared into the sky, blood-red black clouds churned, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a foul-smelling gale suddenly swept up.

Strange raindrops pattered against the desolate, ruined land.

Despite the gentle rain, the fires within the Weiyun Sect not only did not die out, but burned even more fiercely, rampaging wildly and turning ancient buildings into charred black earth...

"Ah—blood rain!"

A sorcerer looked up in surprise, and a drop of red, foul-smelling liquid landed right in his eye. He instinctively wiped it with his sleeve, filled with fear and unease!

Everyone was shocked by this strange weather change, but no one intended to stop.

"Sect Master, Third Brother is here to help you!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Laosan immediately prepared to lend a hand, but was stopped again by Elder Lingchen, who was watching him.

Feng Ling and Xue Jiu each faced one person, but six figures still managed to break through their defenses.

The ape, already radiating the last rays of light in its life, launched a frenzied sneak attack!

"Sect Leader! Be careful..."

"Brother Kuye..."

"Be careful, Senior Kuye!"

Amidst the rain of blood in mid-air, six figures launched a coordinated attack. The swaying withered leaf ape suddenly coughed up another mouthful of blood, its eyes turning bloodshot.

Feng Ling's eyes also turned bloodshot.

From initially exploiting each other to now fighting to the death, his heart has undoubtedly been touched by the spirit of the Leaf Ape!

Feng Ling made a solemn vow in his heart that he would make Xu Laosan and the others wish they were dead in the future, and repay today's heinous blood debt with every drop of his blood!
"Damn it, who gave you permission to attack? Get the hell out of here... I don't need any help!"

Blackwater Butcher's eyes turned bloodshot, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, angrily shouting at the six evil spirit masters to retreat.

The dead leaf ape immediately rushed forward, and the two trembling old guys engaged in another fierce and bloody battle!
A true warrior! He deserves respect wherever he goes. The Leaf Ape… must die!

He could die from poison, he could die from his own claws, but Blackwater Butcher would never allow him to die from being surrounded and attacked by treacherous people who took advantage of his power!

Xu Laosan has very ulterior motives!

"If he can command everyone, he must have been plotting something all along, right?" Blackwater Butcher muttered to himself, a deeply hidden killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Ah!" Amidst the blood and gore, a heart-wrenching roar echoed through the dark night sky!

The withered leaf ape coughed up mouthfuls of black blood, its face turning completely purple. A terrifying, withered yellow light burst forth from its body, reaching the point of a final, all-encompassing radiance.

Three hundred and sixty-six withered leaves were embedded all over his body, leaving Blackwater Slaughter covered in bloody holes. He weakly looked at the Leaf Ape, not stopping its final attack before death! It could be considered a final respect for an old and powerful elder who was about to fall!
"Drink! Ling Weiyun, at dawn! You and the others must leave quickly..."

A burst of withered yellow light arrived at lightning speed, knocking Xu Laosan and several other men in black backward and causing them to cough up blood. Then, a terrifying force propelled Feng Ling and his two companions away, instantly escaping the encirclement.

Everyone thought that the Leaf Ape's desperate last-ditch attack would surely take a few down with it, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Head..."

"Brother Kuye!"

"Senior Kuye..."

As Feng Ling and the other two retreated at top speed, letting the blood rain pelt their bodies, they looked at the old figure who turned around to greet Hei Shui Tu without hesitation, and a wave of sorrow rose in their hearts.

"Ah! Avenge me... avenge me!"

A piercing scream echoed from the distant hilltop where flames soared into the sky.

A withered leaf pierced through the air, but its force gradually weakened. Blackwater Butcher suddenly coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and his blood-stained ghostly claws slowly withdrew from the head of the Leaf Ape. He staggered back two steps, uttering two words to the two stunned men in black: "A proper burial!"

"Third brother, quickly take men to hunt down Ling Weiyun and the other two. Make sure no one is left alive!" Hei Shui Tu weakly turned to Xu Lao San and gave him instructions. Without waiting for his reaction, he collapsed and sat down in a pool of blood to heal his injuries.

Looking at the dying figure sitting upright in the rain of blood, Xu Laosan's eyes flickered, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"All six of you, come with me!"

Finally, Xu Laosan suppressed his inner turmoil and still didn't dare to use his poison! With a loud shout, the seven of them, braving the disgusting rain of blood, chased after Feng Ling and the other two in the direction they had fled.

After the others left, Blackwater Butcher suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with cold-blooded intent.

Then, he closed his eyes again, focusing all his attention on recovering from his injuries.

Although Blackwater Butcher was seriously injured, he was not without the power to fight back. The reason he was in such a sorry state was just to put on a show for certain people!

If Xu Laosan had made any unusual movements just now,
Now he's probably just a dead body lying in front of Blackwater Butcher!
Amidst the thunderous roar and the blood-soaked, muddy path, Feng Ling and his two companions, their faces contorted in pain and their eyes filled with struggle, couldn't help but look back as they fled at breakneck speed.

Then, the three people with amazing eyesight suddenly narrowed their pupils as several ghostly figures chased after them through the drizzling blood rain!
"Quick, quick! Don't let them escape..."

A series of hurried footsteps approached, mud splashed everywhere, and a group of menacing black figures swept past, leaving deep footprints on the dirt road.

A cold wind howled, and it was pitch black all around. The outlines of the dense vegetation were faintly visible amidst the lightning and thunder, making it eerie and terrifying!
"Brother, Junior Nephew Xue! These evil spirit masters are relentlessly pursuing us; it looks like they won't give up so easily!"

Dragging the heavily injured Feng Ling and his two companions, they fled aimlessly, running for two hours and nearly several miles through the long, dark night filled with blood and rain. The sounds of pursuit behind them not only did not disappear, but became even clearer.

"Uncle Ling, do you have a solution?"

As Xue Jiu, who was usually silent, fled, he asked Elder Ling Chen beside him.

"Second Brother Chen! You want us to scatter and escape, don't you?"

"Brother...I..."

Seeing that Feng Ling had spoken his mind frankly, Elder Ling Chen was immediately embarrassed.

He was afraid that Feng Ling would misunderstand, so he quickly prepared to explain, but unexpectedly, one sentence shut him up.

"No need for that, I understand, brother! Go, you two must survive!"

Feng Ling waved his hand, uttered a single sentence, and turned to flee northeast. Feng Ling knew that "escaping separately" was the best option at the moment; otherwise, if they dragged on, none of them would survive.

Moreover, Feng Ling was also self-aware. Although the two of them didn't say it outright in the early morning, he was indeed a burden to them now.

Feng Ling wouldn't hold a grudge against the two of them. After all, how many people could be willing to sacrifice their lives for others in the face of death?

At least Feng Ling admits he can't do it!
"Big brother!"

Gazing at that aged figure disappearing into the boundless night, a heart-wrenching sadness washed over me.

"metropolitan!"

The two were filled with worry, but they were helpless as they could not even protect themselves!

"Nephew, farewell..."

"Take care, Uncle-Master!"

Hearing the increasingly close shouts of battle behind them, the two, already soaked to the bone, quickly followed their plan. Gritting their teeth, they separated and fled in one direction...

From that moment on, the fate that bound Feng, Ling, and the other two together was completely broken.

Each of the three has their own destiny to overcome, and whether they can escape the clutches of evil depends entirely on fate. All they can do is try their best and leave the rest to destiny!

"Third Elder, it seems they've separated! What should we do?"

Following the trail of blood, Xu Laosan and his men stopped at a three-way intersection.

The group stared in surprise and disbelief at the fresh footprints that had been left on the three roads not long ago.

"Bang!" The men in black closest to Xu Laosan were startled.

A large, old tree, about half a person's thickness, suddenly snapped open. With a crackling sound, countless raindrops hanging from the tree were shaken off and finally smashed into a deep ditch in the muddy dirt road!

"Gui Feng, Gui Yu, you two go left and chase Xue Jiu! The rest of you four go northeast and chase Ling Weiyun. Remember, capture Ling Weiyun alive, and hand him over to me immediately after you catch him!"

"Yes... I will obey the Third Elder's instructions."

The six figures chasing them disappeared in an instant.

He slowly withdrew his bleeding fist.
Looking in the direction Elder Lingchen fled, a hint of violence flashed in Xu Laosan's eyes!
They originally planned to capture all three of them in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, the three of them split up and escaped!

Although Xu Laosan desperately wanted to obtain the Eighth Rank Ghost Spirit Body, he could still distinguish between what was more important and what was less important!
Elder Lingchen's cultivation level is the highest, making him the biggest potential threat. He must go there personally to feel at ease. As for Feng Ling and Xue Jiu, their cultivation levels are relatively low. He believes that a fourth-level cultivator and a fifth-level cultivator are enough to deal with Xue Jiu, who is poisoned and slightly injured. As for the seriously injured Feng Ling, he has three fourth-level cultivators and a fifth-level cultivator to take care of him. How could he not feel at ease? Besides, Hei Shui Tu is not here. Once he captures him alive, he will still get there first with the Ghost Spirit Body!
Thinking this, Xu Laosan let out a loud laugh and dashed in the direction where Elder Lingchen had fled. Although he was soaked in the heavy rain, he felt extremely happy!
The next day, a bombshell piece of news broke between small and medium-sized factions...

The Weiyun Sect and the Kuye Sect were wiped out overnight, and the raging fire burned for three days and three nights!

The entire Blackwater Sect was deserted; all the disciples seemed to have vanished into thin air!
