The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 128 - 113: Strangling the Unexpected!_1

Inside the ship cabin.

Dark Ghosts and Blood Moon Cultivators were slaughtering each other, blood forming rivers while beams of spiritual power and the clashing of artifacts deafened the ears.

Pang Jian entered the fray, standing at the top of the stairs, calmly surveying the battlefield.

Within the spacious cabin, there were array hubs similar to those on the bottom floor of the Heavenly Spirit Tower, with gemstone-like Spirit Jade embedded within.

In a corner, there were many iron cages, imprisoning ferocious beasts that were prepared for processing.

In the center of the cabin were several blood pools, surrounded by cabinets filled with neatly arranged chunks of blood.

Many of those responsible for handling the beasts were huddled near the cages, looking on in terror at the battle between the Dark Ghosts and Blood Moon Cultivators.

These people were not members of the Blood Moon; they only solidified the fresh blood of the beasts to make blood chunks resembling turnips.

"Hong Jian!"

"You killed Fei Zheng?"

"Since you’re here, it means Fei Zheng is dead! Hong Jian, you’re much stronger than Hong Tai!"

Dark Ghost members who saw him suddenly yelled excitedly, their aura surging like a rainbow.

They had all heard about the situation from Fan Liang, and they had personally witnessed Pang Jian intercepting Fei Zheng on Instrument Street. Now that Pang Jian had appeared here, it confirmed that Fei Zheng was most likely dead.

"Fei Zheng, killed by him?"

The cultivators of the Blood Moon turned pale upon hearing this, their defensive strength weakening considerably.

Pang Jian ignored everyone.

He walked straight to the cabinet with the blood chunks, and one by one, the solidified blocks of beast blood vanished into his raised palm.

Beneath his garment on the forearm, there was now a storage armlet that could hold ten times more than a storage pouch, allowing him to stockpile many blood chunks.

Outside.

"Boom!"

After the thunderous explosion, another Marrow Cleansing Realm Blood Moon practitioner had his skull shattered by Zhao Ling with her azure long stick.

Thus, on this beast-catching ship with the heavy task of capturing beasts, there was only one Marrow Cleansing Realm member of the Blood Moon left.

This mid-stage Marrow Cleansing Realm Blood Moon cultivator, seeing Meng Qiulan and Zhao Ling approaching him from both sides, shouted, "You Dark Ghosts must be tired of living! After today, the Blood Moon will surely exterminate the Dark Ghosts!"

Zhao Ling huffed, and the numerous thunderballs in her azure long stick suddenly brightened, enveloping the man in a flash of lightning.

"In the future Fourth Realm, perhaps not even the seven great families will exist, and whether Dark Ghosts survive isn’t up to the Blood Moon to decide!"

Knowing the insider information, she now felt a strong sense of urgency. All she wanted to do was to stockpile as much spiritual material as possible before the disaster fully erupted, seeking to rapidly advance to the Innate Realm.

She was still young; as long as she could advance to the Innate Realm, she would have a chance to survive in the Third Realm.

Also at this moment.

An entrancing figure, hazy in the blood fog, silently appeared at the flagpole of the Unstable Ferry, hovering weightlessly in the void like a night elf.

In front of her, within the pitch-black banner, a crimson crescent moon was releasing deep red blood light.

The crescent moon, like a pupil, branded the scenes happening around the Unstable Ferry to be reviewed by a future Blood Moon powerhouse.

"Still, I can’t let the Blood Moon see too much."

Luo Hongyan chuckled softly, extending an arm as red as crystal and grabbed towards the blood-red crescent moon within the banner.

"Crack!"

The crimson crescent moon, which should have been an illusion within the banner, was forcibly snapped by her like a solid object.

The shattered pieces of blood flakes also vanished into the storage armlet on her arm.

On the deck, Zhao Ling, together with Wu Yi and Meng Qiulan, had just killed the last Marrow Cleansing Realm member

Just as they were about to rush into the cabin, they noticed the crimson light above suddenly dimmed. They looked up to see a hazy, deep red figure, gracefully floating midair.

"Ah!"

The three of them turned pale in an instant.

A figure capable of hovering in midair was definitely not within their capacity to confront. They were immediately gripped by fear, realizing an unexpected event had occurred.

"How can there be such an existence..."

Meng Qiulan’s voice trembled, and she was about to shout "Retreat" to flee the scene without regard for anything else.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m not a person from the Blood Moon."

Luo Hongyan chuckled and shook her head in the air, winking at Meng Qiulan and softly said, "Just like you, I plan to plunder this beast-catching ship for some beast blood and meat."

Meng Qiulan, who was nearly screaming out loud, was stunned at her words.

Zhao Ling, however, was bolder. She quickly moved to the side along with Wu Yi, exposing the staircase leading to the cabin.

"Please, after you. Whatever you leave behind, please just leave some for us."

Zhao Ling bowed slightly.

Her prominent chest curves, because of her bending posture, presented themselves heavily before Luo Hongyan’s eyes.

"Quite a clever girl."

Luo Hongyan smiled sweetly, then descended toward the staircase that Zhao Ling and Wu Yi had cleared for her, saying warmly, "Don’t worry, I’ll leave some soup for you after I eat the meat."

"Many thanks!"

Meng Qiulan also bowed in thanks.

At this time.

The Blood Moon members on deck, seeing all their Marrow Cleansing Realm powerhouses killed, stopped ruthlessly fighting with Dark Ghosts and flung themselves away from the Unstable Ferry, fleeing towards the surrounding streets.

...

Inside the cabin.

Pang Jian, who was frantically scavenging for blood chunks, suddenly heard a strange sound from a huge blood barrel.

He curiously looked at the barrel that was taller and wider than himself, hearing a "sloshing" sound of blood flowing inside.

"In the Lower Realm, you’re still so young, yet you possess a storage armlet..."

In the surging blood, a cold, hard male voice sounded.

A rich stench of blood suddenly burst from the blood bucket, sending the lid that covered it flying!

Immediately after, a twisting shadow of blood sprang into view.

"Playing the supernatural!"

Pang Jian’s face was cold as he aimed the Astonishing Spear at the huge blood shadow, whereupon a sphere of fiery light exploded.

The "Explosive Dance," capable of seriously injuring those in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, completely enveloped the blood shadow. After a series of explosions, the blood shadow managed to reconstitute itself from the blasted blood sparks in an instant!

"Another high-level spiritual artifact? Not bad, not bad!"

The blood shadow grew more astonished.

Pang Jian’s expression darkened slightly.

The monstrous blood shadow’s fierce aura and unknown origin put pressure on him.

—Fei Zheng was nowhere close to this person.

Inside the cabin, the remaining Blood Moon members seemed unaware of the blood shadow’s existence, each of them looking around in confusion.

"Kid, this body of mine was crafted upon request by Blood Moon. You took away the beast blood, which halts the reconstruction of this body, therefore..."

The blood shadow drifted out of the bucket, sculpting its head and face quickly revealing a middle-aged man with a square-shaped face.

"Leave your things behind, place that spear and your storage ring on the ground, and I can pretend as if nothing happened."

The blood shadow said as it floated towards Pang Jian.

Within the cabin, members of Dark Ghost and Blood Moon, including those ordinary people serving Blood Moon, lost control as their blood wildly spurted from their bodies.

"Puh! Puh-puh! Puh-puh-puh!"

All except for Pang Jian began to vomit blood.

Ordinary people, having not stepped onto the path of cultivation, died vomiting blood in a matter of moments, while the Dark Ghosts and the cultivators from Blood Moon also fell to the ground one by one.

Pang Jian was shocked and paled.

He also felt an inexplicable evil force seeping into his limbs and body, gathering his own blood to spurt outward.

He circulated the Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell, forcibly suppressing the evil force and avoiding a bloody death like the others.

He knew all too well that although the blood shadow said to leave his things and go, it had already made a move in secret.

"Not willing to leave?"

The blood shadow, who was leisurely floating over and secretly causing people to bleed to death using a secret skill, stopped and eyed Pang Jian, saying, "Then don’t leave."

The sticky blood on the ground suddenly gained a life-like consciousness and surged towards Pang Jian.

In the blink of an eye, Pang Jian was engulfed by the sticky blood, transformed into a blood pupa standing in the cabin.

"Blood Pupa Skill!"

Luo Hongyan arrived gracefully.

As she entered, she witnessed Pang Jian being submerged by the thick, sticky blood, which solidified rapidly under her gaze.

"Hong Jian!"

Meng Qiulan, Zhao Ling, and Wu Yi rushed in afterward, crying out in shock.

The sight of everyone in the cabin spewing fountains of blood, including Pang Jian wrapped in solidified blood, made the three of them sense trouble.

"Master Meng!"

"Hall Master Zhao!"

Calls from Fan Liang and others arose from the deck outside the cabin as more Dark Ghost members tried to enter.

"Everyone, leave the beast-catching ship at once, and you are absolutely forbidden from entering the cabin!"

Meng Qiulan shouted towards the staircase.

"Who might you be?"

The blood shadow with the appearance of a middle-aged man, upon Luo Hongyan’s arrival, said with a serious tone, "I am not a member of Blood Moon. I’ve simply entrusted them with forging a body for me. I mean no offense..."

"I know."

Luo Hongyan nodded lightly, smiling as she said, "Within this body of yours, there’s a rich vitality I happen to need. So... my apologies."

"Whoosh!"

She turned into a blur of dark red mist and engulfed the enormous blood shadow.

Zhao Ling and the others watched in horror as the blood shadow shattered within the red mist, becoming smaller and smaller.

"Bitch, my True Body will come to seek you out!"

The blood shadow bellowed in anger.

"Come down, and you won’t even know it was me," Luo Hongyan replied with contempt, laughing lightly. "Blood Moon’s Branded Eye was smashed before I came down; no related images will be left. As for you, this soul separated from the True Body, I will erase that as well. Even if your True Body descends, you won’t know who killed you."

Amid her light laughter, the blood shadow was crushed by her terrifying power, and a Soul Spirit was eradicated.

Meng Qiulan, Zhao Ling, and Wu Yi stood at the staircase, watching the battle that ended in the blink of an eye; none dared to descend the stairs.

"Don’t worry, I really will leave a little something for you to drink," Luo Hongyan’s delightful voice emerged from the misty red fog. A bracelet drifted out from the red mist, wrapping around the cupboards with strands of red light.

Blocks of beast blood vanished one by one.

A short time later.

"That should do it."

Luo Hongyan’s beautiful voice echoed again from the dense red blood fog, "The remaining beast meat and the Spirit Jade embedded in the Array are yours to keep."

She quietly floated out.

The three stepped aside quickly, watching her wrapped in the blood fog, flying out through the staircase.
