Chapter 41 Slicing through melons and vegetables, the Blood Demon's Deceitful Child
Having seen through the enemy's true strength and weaknesses, Jiang Jun no longer held back.
With a thought, he enveloped the surroundings with his true energy, protecting Cai Liang and Lin Dingxuan within.
The contamination contained within that blood energy was swept away by the true energy and vanished into nothingness, making it difficult for it to take advantage of the situation.
High in the sky, the "Ghostly Sorrow" shone brightly with purple light, and countless fine needles, as thin as cow's hair, shot out and disappeared into the blood cloud under the enhancement of the firelight.
The continuous "whooshing" sounds made the sea of blood seem to be fading.
"So it was you!" A strange voice came from the blood cloud, overlapping and indistinct, neither male nor female, making people feel nauseous.
The churning blood-red clouds seemed to be enraged, pressing down heavily on Xiaozhu Peak with the force of an earthquake.
Jiang Jun did not respond, but instead used his divine sense to activate the talisman on the Pure Lotus.
The "Mysterious Sorrow" and the "Divine Chicken Talisman" both emitted light.
The next moment, a majestic rooster soared out of the talisman, surrounded by flames, resembling the Pleiades.
On the "Strange Sorrow," the purple light of the jujube branch shone brightly, transforming into streams of light that adhered to the sharp beak and claws, gleaming with a sharp edge.
Then another white light ball transformed into a pearl of light, which the rooster swallowed with its open beak.
"Cluck! Cluck cluck!!!"
Three loud crowings of roosters echoed between heaven and earth.
A powerful aura of warding off evil and restoring righteousness swept across the sky with the sound waves, causing the blood clouds to surge and nearly dissipate.
Immediately, the rooster spread its wings and flew into the blood-red cloud.
With a peck of its sharp beak, it can tear open a large hole; with a swipe of its claws, it can slash open a crack.
Purple flames burst forth within, producing a loud, sizzling sound as if oil were being boiled over, and the blood cloud was scorched, billowing black smoke.
"Ah—" A scream rang out, and the blood cloud dissipated.
A figure fell from the sky, with a dark red lotus flower floating beside it.
Jiang Jun pressed his advantage, the roosters scattered, a light sword materialized, and a flame clung to it, piercing directly through the man's brow.
The dark red lotus flower also dimmed, and with two "thumps," it fell onto the ground in front of Qingzhu Temple along with the corpse.
Jiang Jun was speechless for a moment: "He died just like that? Isn't that a bit too frivolous?"
To prevent any trickery, he used a burst of fire from a distance to incinerate the corpse into ashes, and then used his true energy to pull the red lotus over.
This is a nine-petaled lotus flower. The lotus seedpod is small and has not yet produced seeds. The lotus petals are large, with a dark red base and a pale pink tip.
Perhaps because the original owner was dead, the lotus's energy was not harmonious and had a sense of decay, but its strength was still above all the elite-level monsters that Jiang Jun had ever seen.
Its eerie aura was extremely pure; in Jiang Jun's knowledge, only the Lord-level Azure Fish Eerie Stone could compare.
Without a doubt, this is a Lord-level artifact!
Jiang Jun held the lotus flower in his hands, shook his head and sighed, "Sending someone a thousand miles to their death, the gift is heavy, but the sentiment is even heavier!"

Not far below Xiaozhu Peak, Lin Zhengyang stared at the blood-red clouds that blotted out the sky, and was utterly shocked.
Then the rooster displayed its divine power, dispelling the blood-red clouds, and the old Taoist priest's surprise turned to joy.
Only after the man was killed by the lightsaber did he feel relieved: "I was too worried. With the True Immortal here, what is a mere Blood Demon Child...?"
He didn't turn back, but instead took the spiritual plant given to him by Jiang Jun and went to the Department of Mysteries to complete the negotiations.
The Bureau of Mysteries in Qingjiang City has a profound foundation, possessing both the mystical artifact "Chen Wang Jian" and several extraordinary experts, so it naturally has no shortage of lord-level strange objects.
They have no shortage of means to freely travel to and from the realm of the supernatural. Therefore, the projection of the Department of the Supernatural in the Qingjiang realm of the supernatural is also well managed.
Although the Ghost Cult and Blood Demon Organization caused chaos last time and destroyed many of our facilities, after this period of reconstruction, at least our appearance has been restored.
The Department of Supernatural Affairs was aware of Lin Zhengyang's relationship with Jiang Jun.
The Department of Mysteries had been watching his movements these past few days, but had not interfered.
Now that he has brought these flowers and plants with him, someone immediately came forward to contact him.
Logistics Center Director Liu Yan invited him to the reception room: "Master Lin, did someone give you any instructions this time?"
Lin Zhengyang took out a sunflower and placed it in front of Liu Yan: "Director Liu, please take a look at this first..."
Caught off guard, Liu Yan was immediately drawn to the faint floral fragrance, gradually becoming immersed in it, a hint of infatuation flashing in her eyes.
"Cough cough..." Lin Zhengyang coughed a few times, waking the other person up.
Liu Yan, still shaken, stared at the sunflowers before her and asked, "What is this...?"
Lin Zhengyang didn't keep them in suspense and explained the origin of the spiritual plant and the function of the sunflower.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan felt a surge of emotions, but her expression remained calm.
"This is of great importance. Master Lin, please wait a moment while I report to Director Li."
As she spoke, she quickly got up, and as soon as she stepped out of the meeting room, she stomped her high heels and ran towards Li Ming's office.

In the desolate wilderness of the supernatural realm, Su Tie, the captain of the action squad of the Divine Bureau, is leading a group of police officers to encircle and suppress cultists from the Ghostly Soul Cult, the Five Gu Cult, and the Blood Demon Organization.
His destined magical artifact is a bronze sword covered in verdigris, which appears severely rusted but actually harbors deadly intent.
With a flick of his wrist, the bronze sword transformed into a gray-green blade of light, weaving through the enemies and beheading them one by one.
The main force in this operation was, of course, the police officers at the Refining Realm and Fusion Realm.
However, there are also recently recruited police officers on the periphery, including Tao Li, Liu Qing, and Sun Yijing, who are under Zhao Chen's command.
Holding a string of "Ghostly Sorrow" coins in her hand, Sun Yijing nervously watched the fierce battle: "Aunt Tao, why do you think these cultists are so determined to fight to the death in Qingjiang City?"
Tao Li stood back to back with her, holding a cute and adorable "divine chicken talisman" in her hand.
"The Ghostly Cult hasn't given up yet; they're determined to find their Holy Son. The Five Gu Cult is after the Azure Fish Stone. As for the Blood Demon Organization, who knows what those lunatics are thinking?"
Soon, all the cultists present were either killed or surrendered without any backbone, and the encirclement and suppression was a complete victory.
Zhao Chen scratched his head and looked at Su Tie: "Boss, didn't they say a Blood Demon was coming? Was our operation to lure the enemy a success or a failure?"
Su Tie frowned deeply: "Who knows what happened? Blood Demon Devils are all lunatics who directly contract with Lord-level monsters, without the aid of divine artifacts, and forcefully endure to reach the Refinement Realm. Their minds are not normal to begin with."
Zhou Song, the deputy captain standing next to him, looked worried: "I heard that the Blood Demon who came here refined a Lord-level monster, a Blood Lotus from the Turbid River, which is most good at corrupting others."
"Although it lacks direct lethality, the contamination is like a maggot clinging to a bone, difficult to dispel, and even extraordinary individuals are reluctant to get it on them."
Su Tie looked helpless: "When you encounter an opponent like this, it's like a toad sitting on your foot—it doesn't bite, it's just disgusting."
Zhao Chen asked curiously, "Isn't there any way to cure him? Aren't supernatural objects the best at suppressing this kind of thing?"
Zhou Song shook his head: "We shouldn't handle strange and unusual objects lightly. And this guy is probably like a rat; he's incredibly fast..."
