Chapter 223: Blood Rain
The translucent figure of Li Rong bit her lips, looked down, and stared at the disciple and elder.
She shook her head in disappointment.
The disciple and elder bowed even lower, their bodies shaking in fear.
Li Rong sighed, took a deep breath, and said, "Direct the disciples to stop the two men.
"As for Tan Xiao Yao's men, I will render them fully under my control with my blood rain.
"Now, go and execute as instructed.
"We don't have all day."
The elder heard "blood rain" and tried to change Li Rong's mind.
"Lady Saint, wouldn't it be risky for you to use blood rain? You will be significantly weakened from it."
He spoke and waited for her response.
There was a moment of silence.
Drip.
Cold sweat dripped onto the ground from the elder's forehead.
The next moment, Li Rong's voice could be heard.
"As long as there are enough spirits sucked into the light pillars, the Thousand Ghost Elixir will replenish my lost strength."
"Yes, Lady Saint," the elder and disciple said in unison.
The disciple quickly went away and got to work directing the other disciples to try to stop Lin Fan and Ho Ming.
When the disciple was gone, the elder felt his neck tightening, and soon he was gasping for air.
"I'm sorry, Lady Saint. Please forgive me," he quickly begged for his life.
"Next time, don't even think of questioning me."
Thud.
The elder fell onto the ground, and the translucent figure of Li Rong went away.
...
"It's right ahead," Lin Fan pointed at the light pillar a hundred meters away from him and said.
Ho Ming nodded and swallowed a Blood and Qi restoration pill.
Lin Fan did the same with a Heavenly Rejuvenate pill.
Small skirmishes along the journey to the light pillar had depleted their Qi.
Lin Fan and Ho Ming thought they could destroy the light pillar as they had done earlier, but when Lin Fan saw hordes of disciples appear out of nowhere, he knew they were in for a tough battle.
Lin Fan and Ho Ming were facing around five hundred disciples of the Lady Saint in red robes.
"Stop these two men!"
"How dare they desecrate the Lady Saint's plan!"
"Take this, you bastards!"
The disciples, with their bloodshot eyes, screamed at the top of their lungs and lunged at Lin Fan fearlessly.
A sea of crimson red robes came rumbling toward Lin Fan.
Splatter.
He used his spear and thrust at the disciples with the Dragon's Roar Thousand Thrust.
The bodies of the disciples were ripped apart by the slicing wave.
Blood splattered onto the disciples who were next to Lin Fan's victims.
Boom.
Ho Ming thrust his sword with the Thunderous Exploding Sword Technique, and the ground exploded.
The limbs of the disciples who were in the target area were blown off.
However, this was not enough to stop the onslaught of the disciples.
"For the Lady Saint!"
They shouted into the air, smearing blood onto their faces and bodies.
Lin Fan used his Dragon's Roar Thousand Thrust again.
Splatter.
The second wave of attacks coming at him directly turned into a sea of blood and flesh again.
But this time, some of the disciples flanked him and came at him from the side.
Thud.
The disciples got near enough to punch and grab onto Lin Fan.
His Primordial Earth Bastion was too tough for them to do any damage.
Ho Ming, however, wasn't faring better than him.
He was overwhelmed by the number of disciples coming at him.
Frantically, he stabbed and slashed around with his two swords.
Ho Ming finally had enough, and he spun in a circle with his two swords.
Soon after, wind that came out of nowhere started swirling around Ho Ming like a hurricane with him at its center.
The hurricane swirled faster and faster.
It sliced the flesh and limbs of the disciples who were surrounding him. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
A hundred disciples dropped to the ground.
Their spirits appeared soon after, floated into the air, and were sucked into the light pillar.
"Ho Ming, get ready," Lin Fan shouted as he used the amulet and turned into the Ice Tusk Elephant.
Boom.
With the Ice Tusk Elephant's huge feet, he stomped on the disciples getting near Ho Ming.
Ho Ming was weak and exhausted after using the Hurricane Strike.
Splatter.
The disciples immediately became flattened like meat patties.
The other disciples stopped in their tracks and looked up at the huge beast in front of them.
Lin Fan used the trunk of the Ice Tusk Elephant and picked up Ho Ming to put him on his back.
With Ho Ming safe, he then used the Ice Tusk and swept in a circle at the disciples.
The chills and cold froze the disciples, and the ice statues of the disciples were broken into pieces when the Ice Tusk Elephant's feet stomped on them.
Lin Fan then charged toward the light pillar.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
The ground shook with every step he took.
By now, out of the five hundred, there were only around a hundred disciples left.
Lin Fan turned back into human form.
He didn't want to expend all the essence from the Ice Tusk Elephant's demonic beast core.
"Ho Ming, take this."
He passed a Heavenly Rejuvenate pill to Ho Ming.
Ho Ming swallowed it and was able to stand up within the next moment.
"This Guo He Ru is really something," Ho Ming marveled at the effectiveness of the Heavenly Rejuvenate pill.
"Yes, but we have more important things on our hands now," Lin Fan said as he held his spear back.
Getting ready for his Dragon's Roar Thousand Thrust.
Just as he spoke, disciples in red robes charged at him.
Splatter.
The sea of crimson red robes was turned into blood and flesh by the slicing waves.
Drip.
Drip.
Droplets started to pelt from the sky.
Lin Fan wiped the droplets off his face and was surprised to see that the droplets were crimson red.
He looked up and it started to rain.
