The blood-robed youth's lips curved into a cold sneer. "Today, I will let you know the consequences of offending me."
As the words fell, his figure flickered, transforming into a crimson streak of light, blasting towards the Blood Demon with murderous intent.
The two clashed in mid-air. The strength displayed by the blood-robed youth far surpassed that of the Blood Demon.
"Hm?"
The Blood Demon's brows furrowed, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He could clearly sense that the blood-robed youth's power was not weaker than his own.
"While your bloodline is potent, you have not cultivated its power. Your combat strength is merely a notch above that of an ordinary warrior."
The Blood Demon's gaze towards the blood-robed youth was filled with mockery and disdain.
He was of the Blood Race, possessing the Blood Demon bloodline. Its power was enough to rival that of a half-step Void God realm expert.
The blood-robed youth, however, was merely a common human, utterly incomparable to him.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan let out a cold snort. His body expanded once more, reaching a height of about four meters. A pair of wings, as black as ink, flapped wildly behind him, tearing apart the surrounding air.
"This fellow actually controls wind elemental energy. But, so what? He's still no match for this King."
A mocking glint appeared in the Blood Demon's eyes.
He was a supreme being, an undisputed ruler in this star domain. Anyone who saw him had no choice but to bow down in submission!
He raised a blood-red claw, and a terrifying beam of blood-red light shot out, soaring towards the heavens and transforming into a sharp blade.
"Swish!"
The blade sliced through the void, aiming for the blood-robed youth's chest.
A cold killing intent surfaced in Zhou Yan's eyes. His body twisted, and he hurled a punch towards the blade.
Blood-red light collided with the fist. Both combatants were forced back a few steps.
"This Blood Demon bloodline is quite strong."
A flicker of interest appeared in Zhou Yan's eyes. Then, his figure flickered, turning into a blood-red glow as he charged at the Blood Demon again.
The blood-robed youth swung his long sword, slashing at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's figure paused, dodging the attack. His feet moved like the wind as he charged at the Blood Demon once more.
His fist burned with raging flames, like a blazing sun, emitting a dazzling radiance.
The fireball and the blade collided, emitting dull explosions. The Blood Demon's claws directly struck Zhou Yan's fist.
However, Zhou Yan's attack did not cease. Instead, it continued to crash against the blade.
The blade shattered directly, and a spurt of blood erupted from Zhou Yan's fist, spraying wildly.
Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of surprise appearing within them. The Blood Demon before him was indeed powerful.
The Blood Demon let out a cold snort, his arms bending slightly. He grabbed Zhou Yan's neck and flung him away fiercely.
Zhou Yan's body slammed onto the ground, his bones completely pulverized. He had clearly sustained severe injuries.
A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes, followed by a resolute expression. With a flick of his wrist, a dagger appeared out of thin air.
"Blood Shadow Saber Technique, Blood Shadow Clone!"
Nine blood-red phantoms materialized beside him.
Each phantom contained a dense aura of malevolent energy.
Blades of light shot out from the phantoms, hurtling towards the Blood Demon.
"Hmph! Petty tricks!"
A disdainful glint crossed the Blood Demon's eyes.
The blood-red phantoms were sliced apart by the blood-red blades, instantly turning into fragments.
The Blood Demon raised his right claw and swiped at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan, wielding the Blood Shadow Clone, charged fiercely towards the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon raised his claw and grabbed at Zhou Yan.
The Blood Shadow Clone was directly smashed into pieces by the blood-red claw, scattering on the ground.
"What?"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened, his face a mask of shock.
He had never expected his Blood Shadow Clone to be so easily defeated by the Blood Demon.
As expected of someone with the Blood Demon bloodline, his strength was terrifyingly formidable.
A layer of crimson light suddenly appeared on his body.
"Whoosh!"
The blood-red light converged, and the blood shadow reappeared. A crimson beam of light erupted from it, shooting straight into the sky.
"Explode for me!"
Zhou Yan let out a low roar, pointing a finger at the crimson light beam.
A terrifying roar echoed as the crimson light beam exploded, transforming into a vast expanse of blood mist.
The blood mist spread, engulfing an area of a hundred miles.
Nearby, some martial artists who were on their way were also enveloped by the blood mist.
"This blood mist is so potent, it can even corrode the soul."
"Could this be the legendary Blood Mist Fog?"
"That's right, it must be this Blood Mist Fog. It can obscure soul detection and trap us in illusions."
"What a pity. I just broke through to the Void God realm and can't withstand this Blood Mist Fog. Otherwise, I could have hunted this Blood Demon and obtained his bloodline."
The surrounding martial artists discussed amongst themselves.
"Hmph! Ants, is this all the skill you possess to deal with me? You're too naive, utterly worthless!"
The Blood Demon spoke coldly. His figure flickered, transforming into a streak of blood-red light, and instantly darted into the Blood Mist Fog.
"You think you can trap me? Delusional!"
The Blood Demon sneered repeatedly, his blood-red light flashing as he vanished from his spot.
The blood-colored mist churned and surged. Zhou Yan, within it, immediately felt a dangerous aura approaching.
He hastily mobilized his vital energy to protect his body.
Suddenly, a crimson claw mark emerged from the void, piercing the Blood Mist Fog and heading straight for Zhou Yan.
A shocking wound was inflicted on Zhou Yan's shoulder.
"Roar..."
Zhou Yan let out an angry roar, and a ball of crimson flame erupted from his body, burning fiercely.
Zhou Yan's shoulder quickly recovered, leaving only a faint mark.
"Eh? It can actually burn flesh and blood?"
The Blood Demon's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with shock.
This blood-robed youth actually possessed such a secret treasure!
"Die!"
Zhou Yan roared, wielding the Blood Shadow Clone, and charged at the Blood Demon once more.
The Blood Demon dared not delay, his figure flashing as he dodged.
Two fist-shaped energies exploded within the blood mist, stirring up monstrous waves of blood.
A cold smile crept onto Zhou Yan's lips. Deep within his eyes, a hint of amusement flickered. Then, his form suddenly changed, transforming into a colossal blood-red beast, which lunged at the Blood Demon.
"Blood Winged Bat!"
The Blood Demon's pupils trembled violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
The Blood Winged Bat was a beast of emperor-level bloodline. Its power was such that it could even rival a Void God realm expert.
"Boom!"
The Blood Winged Bat flapped its wings and slammed down fiercely on the Blood Demon, unleashing a terrifying force.
The Blood Demon's expression became extremely grim.
Although the Blood Winged Bat was merely an ordinary emperor-level bloodline, it could already rival a Void God realm existence. Furthermore, it had now advanced to a top-tier bloodline among the Blood Race.
The Blood Winged Bat's claws brutally tore at the Blood Demon's body, causing blood to gush out.
The Blood Demon let out an enraged roar, and his entire body radiated a monstrous blood-red glow.
