Even though Li Feng had withdrawn his spiritual sense, he was still looking at the golden core realm powerhouse with his eyes. He was only doing that because the golden core was not trying to hide his presence and many other people were also looking at him. So he should not be able to find Li Feng with just his gaze.
The golden core powerhouse who came looked like a middle aged man in his mid forties. He was standing on a large snake made of blood and was travelling at a very fast speed. Judging his aura, Li Feng guessed that he was most probably in the early stage Golden Core realm.
As he got closer, the furious demon beasts started to calm down. Feeling his aura, they all started to shake in fear. Some of the weaker demon beasts who were lower than rank 3 outright died as soon as they were hit with the aura of a golden core.
His momentum was extremely powerful and all the trapped elders became confident of their survival. But at that exact moment, another extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared at the distance. The place where this aura had suddenly appeared was quite far away. Li Feng's spiritual sense was unable to reach that location. So he had no idea about this person's presence.
As soon as that aura appeared, an arrow made of blue light also appeared before the golden core elder of the Blood Sea sect. He tried his best to somehow avoid it but the arrow was too fast and he was not able to dodge it.
The arrow was shot toward the middle of his chest where his golden core was located. But at the very last moment, the Blood Sea sect elder was able to move his body slightly to avoid getting his golden core pierced. But instead it was his heart that got pierced.
After reaching the golden core realm with the Malevolent Blood Art, a cultivator would not have any weak points in their body except for the golden core. So even though his heart was pierced, Zhu Lang was not worried too much.
But then he noticed that the the arrow that had hit him was not normal. It was high grade spirit item that specialised in supression. As soon as this arrow hit his body, his spiritual energy circulation became slower.
As soon as Zhu Lang noticed this, he tried to take the arrow out of his body. But before he could do that, the person who shot the arrow attacked him again. That was not all. A new person had also appeared and this newcomer was also in the golden core realm.
Zhu Lang tried to best to defend against the attack of the two golden core realm cultivators but with his sluggish spiritual energy flow, he was unable to master much strength. In just a few exchanges, his body of blood was destroyed several times and three more arrows pierced various parts of his body.
Seeing this scene, the hope that had appeared in the hearts of the foundation establishment realm elders completely disappeared. The golden core elder also started cursing. From his words, Li Feng learnt that the two people who were attacking the elder were from the righteous sect called "Radiant Sun Temple".
The Radiant Sun Temple was one of the strongest righteous sects once upon a time. But now it had declined and only a single Nascent Soul realm powerhouse remained in it. It looked like they were the only ones who had planned to this whole situation to target the Blood Sea sect.
...
As the golden core elder started to become weaker and weaker, he suddenly stopped fighting and started flying toward the barrier that was saving the foundation establishment realm elders. Before leaving, he created seven blood serpents and the other two golden core were busy getting rid of them.
During that time, Zhu Lang entered the protective barrier and even before the other elders could react, their bodies turned into blood and merged with his body. Immediately some of his wounds started healing rapidly.
Seeing this, the two golden cores from the righteous sects quickly destroyed the blood serpents and started to attack the barrier. The formation present at the centre of the mine was just a rank 2 formation and was powerless to resist even a casual attack of a golden core realm cultivator. So it immediately broke.
But by then, Zhu Lang had managed to absorb and digest all the other foundation establishment realm cultivator. That had not increased his strength by much but most of his wounds had healed and all the arrows had came out of his body. So he was again back to his top form.
...
The fight started again and without the effect of the sneak attack, it looked like this elder from the Blood Sea sect was stronger than the elders from the Radiant Sun Temple individually. But with their superior numbers, they still managed to maintain their advantageous position.
As the battle continued, Zhu Lang started getting pushed back again and again. This frustrated him a lot and his face started to turn red in anger. Seeing this, the two elders from the Radiant Sun Temple started to mock him. From their words, the whole picture behind this crisis became clear to Li Feng.
It turned out that one of the core disciples of the Blood Sea sect had extracted origin blood from one of the holy sons of the Radiant Sun Temple. This effected the holy son badly and his realm had fallen greatly. So the Radiant Sun Temple were angry and wanted revenge by killing a golden core of the Blood Sea sect.
This mocking actually had big effect and soon Zhu Lang started to show verious flaws with his raging mind. The person who was using the bow was very proficient in taking advantage of these openings and soon Zhu Lang found two arrows of previous kind inside his body again.
If this continued, Zhu Lang was sure that he would soon die. So as a last ditch effort, he decided to risk his everything. His eyes turned red and all the blood in his body started to burn with a crimson flame. This was secret technique called the blood burning technique. After using this, he realm would definitely fall and he might even injured his original and golden core. But in a life and death situation like this, he had no other way but to use this technique.
So would it be enough to save his life ?
