Boom boom boom boom boom...
That hundred-ter-high black water pillar was driven to its extre and suddenly collapsed, and from within it flashed out one figure after another. Each of these figures was wrapped in a thick layer of Death Qi, making it impossible to see their true faces, but at this mont, even if you only used your toes to think, you could figure out who they were.
They were clearly Grim Reapers.
And the number of Grim Reapers erging from the depths this ti was not small—there were actually more than twenty of them. The instant they appeared, they imdiately made their move. Their bodies shook all at once, and that dense Death Qi erupted outward.
The various Earth Immortal experts were already wary of the Grim Reapers and all knew how terrifying Death Qi was. Seeing the Grim Reapers appear one after another and wildly unleash their Spell Techniques, they turned and fled in terror. At this point, who still had any mind left to think about Wang Xiaoqiang?
Wang Xiaoqiang was the first to run, because he was prepared. When he entered the airspace above the Sea of Death he had already set up his defenses, and the mont that black water pillar surged up, he had already stepped on the Immortal Stepping Disk and turned tail to flee.
Once the teor Chasing Moon Technique was activated, his speed soared abruptly, swift as a shooting star. So at this ti, he was the one fleeing at the very front. Those who ran slower were invaded by the Death Qi, and their bodies imdiately took on a lifeless ashen-grey hue.
Grim Reapers condense Death Qi to cultivate; Death Qi is of paramount importance to them, just like Spiritual Energy is to Cultivators. But for Cultivators, Death Qi is a terrifying existence. Once contaminated by Death Qi, the body falls into a state of deathly stagnation. If only a tiny bit or a small patch is tainted, there is still hope of rescue; if the entire body is invaded, there is only one road left—death.
The Earth Immortal experts who were tainted by Death Qi scread in terror and fled for their lives, but before they could escape the Sea of Death, the Grim Reapers behind them struck again. Their fingers tapped repeatedly as they spat out a single word from their mouths... "Die."
Death Curse Technique!
Boom boom boom boom~~~~~
A series of terrifying sounds of bodies exploding rang out. The Cultivators who were struck—Earth Immortals below the Second Plate—had their bodies directly blown apart, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Those below Earth Immortal Three Plates had their heads explode, turning into blood mist.
Cultivators at Earth Immortal Five Plates and above who were struck by the Death Curse Technique trembled under the Curse Power and spat fresh blood, clearly heavily injured as well. In an instant, above the black ocean, flesh and blood flew, as if gigantic blood flowers blood one after another—brilliant yet desolate.
Wang Xiaoqiang, who was fleeing at the very front, did not escape unscathed either. When he was struck by the Death Curse Technique, his body trembled violently as well. Although he only had the Cultivation Base of Earth Immortal Three Plates, with the protection of the Fear Shield Plate and his powerful Physical Body, he forcibly endured the attack of the Death Curse Technique.
Over a hundred people collapsed entirely under the Grim Reapers' assault. Only experts like Blood Fiend could contend with the Grim Reapers at all. But shrouded in panic, no one dared resist. Furthermore, the Sea of Death was itself a place saturated with Death Qi, the most advantageous battlefield for Grim Reapers to harvest Death Qi and fight, whereas the extrely dense Death Qi was extrely detrintal to Cultivators.
After losing more than half their lives, only a small portion managed to escape. Of course, those who escaped were all experts with Cultivation Base at Earth Immortal Five Plates and above, though every one of them was wounded.
The Grim Reapers did not let them go. With every death, a massive amount of Death Qi would be released, which the Grim Reapers could harvest in abundance. Especially from Cultivators with deep Cultivation Base—the Death Qi in their bodies was of higher quality and more useful to the Grim Reapers' cultivation. With such a pri opportunity to slaughter Cultivators, the Grim Reapers naturally would not let it slip by.
On the Cultivators' side, they fled for their lives; behind them, the Grim Reapers pursued like bone-piercing awls, relentlessly hunting them down.
Wang Xiaoqiang was also filled with terror. These Grim Reapers were far too frightening—their strength was on par with an Earth Immortal Nine Plates Blood Fiend, and their Spell Techniques were eerie and unpredictable, impossible to guard against. As fear grew in his heart, the sixteen Fear Shield Plates around him continued to expand...
In the midst of the chase, another dozen-plus lives were lost on the Cultivators' side, until finally only nine experts remained, including Blood Fiend. These nine were all at Earth Immortal Seven Plates and above and could stand against the Grim Reapers.
Adding Wang Xiaoqiang, there were ten in total.
Only, Wang Xiaoqiang had no intention of confronting the Grim Reapers, because there was no need. All he cared about was running, the farther the better.
But the Grim Reapers were very fast. In the end, not only did those nine experts fail to escape, Wang Xiaoqiang was also entangled by the Grim Reapers. A dozen Grim Reapers fought with the nine experts, while three other Grim Reapers ford a triangular encirclent, tightly surrounding Wang Xiaoqiang.
"This little guy's Cultivation Base isn't high, but he sure runs fast. And he actually dared to snatch the Hundred-Day Demon Extermination Order—seems he has so skills," the Grim Reaper in front stared fixedly at the "Kill" character above Wang Xiaoqiang's head and spoke in a cold, sinister tone.
"Kid, I think highly of you. Want to change your cultivation path and join us?" that Grim Reaper spoke again, his tone laced with a hint of expectation and temptation.
The Grim Reapers lurked within the Sea of Death, yet every day they plotted grand designs. They had always wanted to turn the Ancient Immortal Realm into a world of Grim Reapers, but they were also intimidated by the Heavenly Immortals of the Ancient Immortal Realm and dared not openly stir up trouble. In secret, however, they had long been drawing in Cultivators to serve as their spies.
"Join you?" Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed; he spoke with a hint of surprise.
"That's right, join the ranks of us Grim Reapers," the Grim Reaper's tone sounded quite amiable. "I guarantee you a great future..."
"Do you have Spell Techniques for ?" Wang Xiaoqiang put on a clueless look.
"Of course." The Grim Reaper thought Wang Xiaoqiang was willing to join them and looked extrely pleased. "You saw it just now—our Grim Reapers' Death Curse Technique, how powerful it is... If you join us, not only can I pass you the Death Curse Technique, I can even teach you a Supre Cultivation Technique..."
Wang Xiaoqiang hesitated.
"Kid, you can't get away,"
"Kid, with a Kill Order over your head, even if we don't kill you, can you uphold the Guarding Decree for a hundred days?"
Wang Xiaoqiang did not answer. At this point, it was almost impossible for him to escape from between these three Grim Reapers. After a mont of silence, he said, "You want to join the Grim Reaper ranks, you have to show so sincerity first..."
The three Grim Reapers exchanged looks, then the one in front waved his hand. A sheepskin scroll flew out from his sleeve and was tossed toward Wang Xiaoqiang. "Here, this is the Secret Manual of the Death Curse Technique. Consider it a greeting gift."
Wang Xiaoqiang caught it and glanced at it. On it, three words were written in black script: "Death Curse Technique", and above the characters was a drawn ghost face. On that ghost face, a single "Curse" character was written in blood-red strokes.
That "Curse" character flickered on and off, giving Wang Xiaoqiang a feeling as if his Soul and Spirit were being torn apart. It was extrely eerie and terrifying.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang staring intently at the Death Curse Technique Secret Manual, the three Grim Reapers laughed secretly to themselves. They were not afraid of Wang Xiaoqiang cultivating the Death Curse Technique, because the Grim Reapers' cultivation thod was completely at odds with that of Cultivators. Once Wang Xiaoqiang cultivated the Death Curse Technique, he would be utterly incompatible with orthodox Cultivators and rejected by the entire Cultivation Realm, leaving him no choice but to join the ranks of the Grim Reapers.
