Chapter 2281: Chapter 2328: Library Book

A cup of tea’s time later.

A Blood Moon, noticeably smaller by a fraction, arrived via Instantaneous Movement.

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis stared at the jade plate before him. The dot of light representing Jiang Fan remained a cup of tea’s distance away from him. He had burned the Blood Moon at all costs, yet still failed to catch up.

He glared into the distance, a cold voice sounding from beneath his mask, "Who dares to make an enemy of this Marquis?"

Sweeping the Blood Spear in his hand, he carved a long, profound trajectory through the Void. The trajectory sparkled, as if tearing through space and time, dragging out scenes from the long river of time. The projected images were exactly the scenes of Du Xiyuan helping Jiang Fan destroy the enemy, and the Snow Maiden appearing to force back the Three Calamities Realm expert of the Seven Night Realm.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph..." The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis let out a long sneer. "Nanqian, the World of Darkness...

"It has been too long since we last destroyed a world. Some have already forgotten how we, the Seven Lords of Chaotic Ancient, earned our titles!"

He shot a sharp glare, wisps of bloodlust bursting from his eyes, and continued, "Isn’t the world about to fall into chaos?

"Then, let this Marquis kick off this chaotic era!

"Jiang Fan, Du Xiyuan, Snow Maiden, I shall start by annihilating your worlds!"

He clenched his fingers, gripping the Blood Spear so tightly it creaked. His icy gaze looked toward Jiang Fan’s direction. "Fine! This Marquis wants to see just where you can run to!"

The Blood Moon beneath his feet ignited once again! He would catch up to Jiang Fan at all costs!

In the distance.

The three people on the paper crane also sensed that something was wrong; the blood light was faintly closing the distance. Du Xiyuan and the Snow Maiden, who had been at odds, both wore heavy expressions.

The Snow Maiden said deeply, "He will catch up in two days at most."

Du Xiyuan looked at Jiang Fan and asked, "How much longer until we reach your destination?"

Jiang Fan shook his head, remaining silent. He didn’t know where the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation had directed him to go either. He could only let the paper crane fly on its own. Perhaps the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis would catch up to them before any small worlds along the way could block him.

After a long time, he murmured with a sigh, "Let’s leave it to fate!"

Time trickled by. The blood light in the trio’s line of sight grew increasingly dense.

A day later, the world seemed steeped in viscous blood; everywhere they looked was a sea of crimson. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s overwhelming vicious aura had already invaded the paper crane, making their hair stand on end. If Jiang Fan hadn’t possessed the World Embryo, which could block a cross-realm strike from the Blood Spear, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis would have already made his move.

Another day later.

They were completely submerged in the blood light, their bodies covered by it. As the three looked at each other, it was as if they were looking at three figures made of blood. And the source of it all, that Blood Moon which had shrunk to merely ten feet in size, had already appeared in their field of vision.

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis rode his warhorse, consuming the final portion of the Blood Moon. The warhorse’s vitality erupted. Transforming into a streak of blood light, it leapt past the paper crane and blocked the path ahead of them.

The suffocating, vicious aura emanating from the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis drowned the world.

Du Xiyuan’s throat bobbed as she swallowed nervously. This was her first time facing the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis from such a close distance. She had only ever felt this kind of oppression from the Prime Minister in her entire life. Though both were in the Three Calamities Realm, they were entirely different levels of beings.

The Snow Maiden also felt suffocated, her crystalline eyes trembling slightly. Only by personally facing the legendary Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis did she realize the legends held not a hint of falsehood. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis truly possessed the invincible strength to crush all experts of the current era!

She touched the Life Space Storage Device at her waist, feeling somewhat regretful about bringing her two daughters along. But, now that things had come to this, what was the point of regret?

Taking a deep breath, she said in a low voice, "We couldn’t avoid him in the end!"

Jiang Fan didn’t say a word. He merely watched the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis quietly, then looked at the Snow Maiden and Du Xiyuan. Against the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis in his peak state, he had zero chance of winning. Any resistance was futile. He was just curious about how he would die. Would the heavenly secret intercepted by the Heavenly Mechanism Elder come true, meaning he would die at the hands of the woman he trusted most? However, he couldn’t exactly say that the Snow Maiden and Du Xiyuan were the people he trusted the most, could he? Or perhaps a Half-step Saint Realm expert like the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis could shatter the fate of his death and forcefully kill him?

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis fixed his gaze on Jiang Fan. Slowly raising the Blood Spear in his hand, he pointed it at Jiang Fan from afar and declared, "You are the hardest person to kill that this Marquis has ever encountered, bar none!"

Jiang Fan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis said coldly, "It is your epitaph!

"I will allow you to leave those words on your tombstone after you die!"

With that said, the Blood Spear in his hand flickered with a terrifying blood light, and waves of bloodthirsty intent erupted from it.

Du Xiyuan and the Snow Maiden’s expressions became grim to the extreme. However, they did not back down. Instead, they flew out from the paper crane one after another to stand in front of Jiang Fan.

Du Xiyuan took out her Alchemy Furnace, a cold light flashing in her eyes. "Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, I’ve heard that you slaughter those in the Three Calamities Realm as easily as butchering dogs. This Commander will now experience it for herself!"

The Snow Maiden was also fearless. With a mysterious bloodline circulating within her body, she said indifferently, "Thanks to Fan’s help, I have awakened a brand-new bloodline.

"Today, I might as well test it out on you!"

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s gaze bypassed the two women, still fixed on Jiang Fan. Completely ignoring them, he said apathetically, "There is no need for such trouble. You can all just die together!"

Looking at the two figures standing in front of him, Jiang Fan was filled with guilt. He had ended up dragging them down with him after all. But he was utterly powerless to change it...

Wait!

Jiang Fan suddenly remembered something. The Void Feather Robe on his back vibrated, and he used Instantaneous Movement to appear in front of the two women.

A book hovered in front of his chest. It was none other than one of the books he had taken from the library. Once this book was opened, everyone present would be sucked into it to play the roles of the characters inside. This was exactly how Jiang Fan and Jian Sankuang had put on the drama of a rebellious disciple coveting his master.

As for what the book before him was about, it was unknown. But it could temporarily trap the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis! Just like how the Great Wine Sacrifices had constantly trapped the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis in the library back then.

Moreover, Jiang Fan speculated that once this book was opened, it was very likely to teleport them back to the library! Because when the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis took advantage of the chaos to attack Central Earth, he ultimately appeared in the library. It was obviously not because the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis went to the library voluntarily. It was highly likely that the Great Wine Sacrifice had prepared a Library Book to teleport him away in order to prevent him from interfering with the grand expedition to the Heavenly Realm.

And once they reached the library, there would be countless books there. He might also be able to imitate the Great Wine Sacrifices and stall the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis for several days.

With this thought in mind, he moved to open the book without hesitation.

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s pupils trembled slightly. He clearly hadn’t expected Jiang Fan to still have a forbidden book from the library!

Harboring no more hesitation, he released the Blood Spear from his hand. It shot toward Jiang Fan across time, attempting to stop him!

But Jiang Fan was well-prepared; the Time Sword appeared in his embrace. Under its effect, time in the outside world slowed down by half. This gave him enough time to successfully open the Library Book and teleport everyone away before the Blood Spear could strike!
