Seven Deadly Sins System

Chapter 54 The Power of the Blood Flag

"Boom!"

Chu Wuyao dodged one of the transparent figure's attacks, then stepped lightly on the ground and her figure appeared in front of another figure.

Her eyes glowed with a strange light, causing the transparent figure in front of her to fall into an illusion, making it unable to put up any resistance whatsoever.

"Swoosh!"

She swung the black flaming sword that she held in her hand, cutting the figure into two, still burning pieces, that soon turned into a mist that merged with the surrounding mist that was everywhere around her.

Even then, Chu Wuyao didn't have any time to relax, as she had to dodge the many attacks that were about to land on her.

She wasn't surprised by this and had gone through this exact same thing hundreds of times over the past half an hour.

However, despite the current "dangerous" situation, Chu Wuyao didn't show any panic and remained completely calm.

"It seems that even if I don't use 100% of my strength, I'm still slightly stronger than the average cultivator at the 9th Level of Qi Accumulation.", she thought inwardly and felt that now that she had confirmed the full extent of her combat power, it was about time she put an end this farce.

Over the past half hour, she had killed countless figures, only to find them appearing again after a certain amount of time.

By now, Chu Wuyao had realized that to leave this place, she either had to find that white-haired young man and kill him, or find a flaw in this world that was covered in white mist.

The first way was clearly impossible at the moment, and the second one was way harder than it seemed to.

With the knowledge she currently possessed, Chu Wuyao didn't even know where to start from in order to find flaws in this world.

If this had happened before her arrival in the Waterflower City, Chu Wuyao might have been in a dangerous situation.

But now, she felt that it was quite simple to get out of here.

After all, her style had always been to face challenges straight-forwardly rather than go in circles.

With a move of her mind, an item flashed out Chu Wuyao's space ring and appeared in right her hand.

This item was a black flagpole that was covered in twisted golden runes, while a pitch red flag was hung on own of its ends.

Just by holding it in her hand, Chu Wuyao almost felt that her strength was increasing out of nothing.

Her gray eyes reflected the red color of the flag, making her look slightly evil, as she sensed the creatures inside her Mist Domain and saw the white mist that covered everything.

"Other people might be afraid to use magic weapons at the Qi Accumulation Realm, but with my Devil Body, I should be able to bear some of the backlash.", she judged.

Even if her guess was wrong, she could still heal the injuries with Sin Points afterwards.

Feeling that more and more invisible creatures were gathering, Chu Wuyao no longer hesitated.

Clenching her jaw, she bit her tongue, causing it to bleed, then spat out a mouthful of blood on the Blood Flag.

The moment her blood landed on the flagpole, it was quickly absorbed and the aura of the Blood Flag surged, oppressing everything around it.

2 meters, 4 meters, 10 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters.

Soon, under the young man's stunned eyes, the ocean had appeared right under him, ready to submerge him too.

"Wha-what is this?", the man struggled to speak, as the evil, metallic smell of the blood below assaulted his nose and almost drove him crazy.

Even as the member of an evil force, it was the first time for him to become witness to something like this.

Instantly, he made the decision to escape, abandoning this world and setting Chu Wuyao free.

Compared to his life, the mission by the organization was nothing.

Unfortunately, when the young man recovered and made the decision, he found that it was already too late.

Hundreds if not thousands of thin, human hands stuck out of the blood ocean and grabbed at his feet, his abdomen and hands, pulling him underground with all their strength.

The man's aura surged and he waved his hands, cutting a few of those hands, but their large number was not something he could deal with.

Moreover, every time he cut a hand, it would turn into blood, fall into the ocean and then turn into a hand again, reaching towards him.

His eyes flashed with panic and his hands' movements started to slow down due to his intense emotions, showing some flaws from time to time.

"NO! Spa...re me! I'm-I'm just following o...rders!", the young man tried to beg for mercy, but the hands didn't even spare his mouth, grabbing his tongue and pulling it downwards.

Not long after, amidst the cries of the man and the shouts for mercy, the thousands of hands finally managed to pull him underground.

Even so, the ocean made out of blood shook and shouting reverberated throughout this whole world, evidence of his struggle and his unwillingness to die.

Thankfully, this struggle didn't last for long.

Soon, only the sound of biting and the sound of bones cracking could be heard in the whole world.

"Crack...Crack!"

With the death of its owner, the surrounding space seemed unable to hold on any longer, showing cracks everywhere, as if this entire world was made out of glass.

"Crash!"

After a loud, shattering noise, the whole world shattered into countless tiny pieces.

Chu Wuyao felt her head spinning and had a strange feeling of motion sickness, as if she was traveling through a wormhole.

The next second, when she recovered from this feeling and regained her senses, she discovered that she had returned to the "real" world, to the place near the Waterflower City where she previously was.

There was grass, trees and colorful flowers everywhere around her, while in front of her, a young man with white hair, white eyebrows and white eyes was standing, supported by a wooden cane.

Nothing seemed to have changed before, as if everything that Chu Wuyao had gone through was just a dream.

That was of course, if you were to ignore the countless wounds, blood and bite marks on the young man's body, as well as the horrified expression that remained on his face even after his eyes had become entirely lifeless.
