The moment Mister Tianji had sensed Cheng Yingtian's Blood River Sword Art, alarm bells had sounded in his heart.
Today's enemy was likely Patriarch Blood River, who he had just fought in Zhengyang City!
After leaving Zhengyang City, Patriarch Blood River had not attacked Eastern Zhou or the Milky Way. Instead, he had come to Southern Chu and ambushed Ying Xiantian.
Patriarch Blood River was one of the top three figures of the Demonic Path in the mortal world. He had been famous for more than a thousand years and was the oldest expert.
Apart from Heavenly Demon Ye, none of the heavyweights of the mortal world could suppress Patriarch Blood River's arrogance. The Milky Way Old Sword Immortal had fought against him for a thousand years without being able to win.
In the sky above Zhengyang City, Mister Tianji knew that Patriarch Chu and the Blackwater Extreme Palace Master Ling Cang could not compare to him.
Thus, when he had reached out to grab Cheng Yingtian, Mister Tianji had been on guard against Patriarch Blood River suddenly appearing.
And so, Patriarch Tianji had really appeared.
But the way he had appeared had caught Mister Tianji off guard.
When the tomb had been broken open, Mister Tianji had not sensed Patriarch Blood River's existence.
Patriarch Tianji had used some special technique to hide from his senses.
And the appearance of that familiar figure had completely stunned Mister Tianji.
In that instant, he had truly believed that his former lover had not died and hated him to the extreme. She had been lying to him all this time, waiting for a chance to kill him with her own hands.
When peak experts fought, there was often only a slight difference.
Mister Tianji had already fought with Bie Donglai to the point where both sides had been injured and was no longer at his peak.
But his opponent had been preparing for an all-out assassination.
In this kind of situation, Mister Tianji had been dazed for a moment and naturally could not react in time.
The one attacking him was no longer the Martial Saint Cheng Yingtian, but an unparalleled old demon that he had had to fight with all his strength even at his peak.
In a hurry, Mister Tianji had already condensed the Eight Trigrams Diagram in front of his chest.
But the terrifying river of blood still pierced through his body like a sharp sword.
A figure rose from the river of blood. It was the current Patriarch Blood River.
The ninth generation Sect Master of the Blood River branch, "Blood Stains the Firmament" Xue Cangqiong.
This person had been famous for more than a thousand years. He was one of the most senior figures in the mortal world. His age was similar to Mister Tianji's, about forty to fifty years old. At this moment, he was quietly looking at Mister Tianji.
At the same time, the Four Symbols appeared on Mister Destiny's chest and back, cutting off the blood river that penetrated his body.
Cheng Yingtian's silhouette floated backwards, catching the white skeleton in mid-air before sending it back into the cracked tomb and burying it.
Mister Tianji looked at Cheng Yingtian with deep disappointment in his eyes.
It wasn't because the other party was colluding with outsiders to kill his father.
It was because the tomb in front of him was not a fake tomb.
That skeleton was really his lover, Cheng Yingtian's birth mother, the former disciple of Xian Tian Palace, He Ning.
Cheng Yingtian waved his hand, and the soil automatically closed up, giving the tomb a new look.
Meeting Mister Tianji's gaze, he smiled and said, "I think mother will be happy to send you to hell with her own hands."
Mister Tianji did not say anything. He took a deep breath.
After being heavily injured by Bie Donglai and Patriarch Blood River, his face was pale and a layer of black Qi could be faintly seen on it.
The huge wound that pierced through his body was even more difficult to heal. Blood continued to gush out.
However, his gaze had completely calmed down at this moment.
Other than Cheng Yingtian and Patriarch Blood River in front of him, Mister Tianji could feel someone approaching from behind.
He did not need to turn around to know that it was Monarch Chu, Cheng Hui.
Monarch Chu stood behind Mister Tianji in Silence, his face expressionless.
Mister Tianji did not turn around, only looking at Cheng Yingtian and Patriarch Blood River in Silence.
After regaining his composure, many of his previous questions were answered.
The enemy had used He Ning's remains as a cover to ambush him, even transforming his flesh and blood into He Ning's appearance when she was alive, causing him to suffer greatly.
But as the person with the highest innate Dao Scripture in the Mortal World, even injured, he would not have mistaken his lover.
The reason why the enemy could imitate He Ning's remains so vividly was that apart from He Ning's remains, Cheng Yingtian had also provided some of his heart's blood essence into the bones and blood.
Due to the interference of the bloodline descendant, Mister Tianji was caught off guard and capsized.
"You should know the consequences of providing him the heart's blood essence." Mister Tianji looked at Cheng Yingtian calmly.
Cheng Yingtian smiled, "I never planned to betray the sect. What consequences?"
Patriarch Blood River also smiled, "Yes, what consequences?"
Mister Tianji nodded, no longer speaking. He no longer looked at Cheng Yingtian, instead staring at Patriarch Blood River.
If it had only been Cheng Yingtian's help, Mister Tianji would not have suffered such a huge loss, almost dying from Patriarch Blood River's sword.
Even with He Ning's remains as a cover, Mister Tianji would not have been able to discover that it was Patriarch Blood River, but before he took action, Mister Tianji would have noticed something strange in the grave.
The enemy still had other means to affect his judgment.
What was it?
Even as he pondered the matter, Patriarch Blood River moved again.
The sharp sword light turned into a surging blood river, slashing at Mister Tianji again.
Mister Tianji faced the battle calmly.
But with his heavily injured body, it was difficult for him to defeat Patriarch Blood River, who was full of energy.
Monarch Chu also attacked at this moment. Golden flames condensed into a golden dragon, pouncing at Mister Tianji from behind.
Mister Tianji spread out the Four Symbols Picture, dealing with the enemy with all his might.
He did not use the 'Great Sun' to defend against the evil Blood River, nor did he use the 'Great Yin' to suppress the blazing Radiant Brilliance.
Instead, he used the 'Lesser Yin' to deal with Blood River, and the 'Lesser Yang' to deal with Radiant Brilliance. He used the strength of both sides for his own use, reducing the pressure on himself.
But the two opponents were extremely strong, and Mister Tianji did not have much room to deal with them.
Given that he was heavily injured, he did not have the confidence to perish together with his opponent.
But Mister Tianji's cultivation was truly exquisite.
After a feint in the sky, he avoided the pincer attack of the two opponents, and his target was Cheng Yingtian, who was in the forest on the ground.
Patriarch Blood River and Monarch Chu's attacks immediately landed.
But Mister Tianji's attack on Cheng Yingtian was still a feint.
At this moment, he expelled the negative emotions that affected him, and calmly dealt with the current situation.
The 'Lesser Yang' circulated the strength of Monarch Chu's Radiant Brilliance, and at this moment, it suddenly turned into a 'Sun', counterattacking Patriarch Blood River with all its might.
Patriarch Blood River had experienced more than a hundred battles. Not only did the torrential Blood River stop Mister Tianji's counterattack, it even counterattacked and regained the initiative to attack.
But at this moment, Mister Tianji made a new discovery.
There seemed to be some treasure on Patriarch Blood River, which was brimming with Heavenly River Sword Qi.
"Why do you have the Heavenly River Sword?" Mister Tianji was shocked.
His opponent had hidden himself earlier, and at such a close distance, he had not been able to detect it. At this moment, he finally found the reason.
That Heavenly River Treasure had clashed with Patriarch Blood River's sword intent, and they had been neutralized.
Everyone in the mortal world knew that Blood River originated from the Heavenly River.
But after so many years of development, they were already two different existences.
Patriarch Blood River no longer had any Heavenly River Treasure, and it was impossible for anyone in Blood River, including Patriarch Blood River, to refine a Heavenly River Treasure.
Then, what was Patriarch Blood River using now?
Mister Tianji was horrified.
Many speculations flashed through his mind.
But he didn't have the time to continue thinking.
Patriarch Blood River raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had sensed Mister Tianji's movements.
The old devil had a faint smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. He just sped up his attack on Mister Tianji with Emperor Chu.
Mister Tianji collected his chaotic thoughts and regained his composure, but his thoughts had already changed.
He had been looking for an opportunity to perish together with his opponent.
Now, it was to break out of the encirclement and escape.
There was something wrong with the Heavenly River.
A treasure of this level wasn't something that anyone in the Heavenly River could refine.
He trusted the old sword immortal, but what about the others in the Heavenly River?
Mister Tianji's expression didn't change as he calmly looked for an opportunity.
He immediately pounced on Emperor Chu with all his might.
It wasn't just because Emperor Chu was weaker than Patriarch Blood River, but also because Emperor Chu definitely cherished his life more.
To be precise, Emperor Chu had to do his best to avoid being injured.
Otherwise, after they really killed Mister Tianji, Patriarch Blood River might immediately turn hostile and kill this ally of his, sending the two brothers on their way.
Mister Tianji took another blow from Patriarch Blood River. While he suffered new injuries, he also borrowed some of Patriarch Blood River's strength to charge at Emperor Chu with all his might.
As expected, Emperor Chu changed his previous fierce momentum and dodged Mister Tianji's attack.
In the end, Mister Tianji made a feint and suddenly changed his previous tenacious appearance. With a flash, he fled far away in the void.
In an instant, Mister Tianji unleashed his full strength. The Connate Four Symbols Diagram exploded in the void. He seemed to ignore the distance between them and instantly disappeared.
Emperor Chu couldn't catch up and could only stop.
Patriarch Blood River looked at Cheng Yingtian.
"Master, don't worry. I've already sent the letter. There shouldn't be a problem." Cheng Yingtian nodded and looked at the sky where Mister Tianji had disappeared. "He's dead."
…
Mister Tianji fled. Suddenly, he felt the surrounding space freeze. It was as if an invisible barrier had formed, blocking his path of escape.
He wasn't unfamiliar with this method.
Ancient God, Divine Martial Demonic Fist, Imperial Sky.
Even the other party's appearance wasn't completely out of his expectations.
Although he really hoped that the other party would never appear …
Mister Tianji's figure stopped in midair.
Previously, when he was heavily injured, his face was pale with a hint of black. Now, it had become an unhealthy dark red.
In the sky ahead, a dark golden light flashed in midair, and a middle-aged man who looked like a Confucian scholar appeared.
It was the Hierarch of the Secular Ancient God Sect, the Reincarnated Fiendgod, Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi smiled gently. "Mister Ying, we meet again."
Previously in Zhengyang City, Mister Tianji rushed to help the old Sword Immortal and scolded Jiang Yi.
After the Empress of East Zhou arrived, she joined forces to drive Patriarch Blood River, Jiang Yi, and Emperor Chu away.
Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, every dog has its day.
At that time, after the three opponents left the Western Qin, they all gathered in the Southern Chu and finally intended to kill Ying Xiantian.
Mister Tianji had a hunch that Jiang Yi and Emperor Chu would take action. But he didn't take into account the relationship between Cheng Yingtian and Patriarch Blood River. It was too late to say anything now.
Although he broke out of the encirclement of Patriarch Blood River and Emperor Chu, his injuries worsened, and he couldn't get past Jiang Yi.
But Mister Tianji was calm at the moment, and didn't feel embarrassed.
"I heard from Elder Yun that the Supreme Master finally came out of his closed-door training and officially accepted a successor named Chen Luoyang. Is he in the Ancient God now?" He asked calmly. "I wonder if I can meet him?"
Jiang Yi's tone was like a spring breeze, without any murderous intent. "If the Supreme Master wants to interfere, Mister Ying, you'll definitely be fine today. If he doesn't want to interfere, Mister Ying, you'd better not disturb him."
Mister Tianji said, "You misunderstand me. I know my fate has come to an end today, and I don't have any hope of survival. I just want to make a deal. I want to ask Chen Luoyang and the Supreme Master's successor to be my witness."
