Chapter 551: Chapter 549: Do You Know Who I Am?
"What, is it too much for me to ask for a hundred drops of Divine Demon Blood?"
Xu Yang’s face twisted with mockery, fresh blood dripping from the corner of his mouth without pause, yet the ancient Evil Qi surging from within the divine cauldron grew only stronger, showing no sign of stopping.
A thousandfold Spirit Fires churned within the universe, fifteen Life Fire Elixirs roared endlessly, threatening to tear apart heaven and earth.
The terrifying accumulated might caused cracks to appear in the vast Evil Qi clouds above him.
Chi Ling and Xue Sheng were about to shatter their own teeth in fury!
In this instant, regret finally welled up in Chi Ling’s heart!
The situation had escalated to this point—if it went on, something disastrous would happen.
This Evil Qi cloud was originally something the Chi Xue Lord had casually bestowed, letting the two of them control it.
If trouble came and startled Chi Xue, the two of them couldn’t escape responsibility!
And in truth, they really weren’t in the right this time!
Damn it!
"What now?"
Chi Ling’s face was pale as paper.
Xue Sheng’s eyes blazed with rage—now you want to ask me what to do?
Why didn’t you listen to me before rushing down there?
But now, there was no other choice left.
"A hundred drops of Divine Demon Blood, I do not have."
"I only have forty drops!"
Xue Sheng flicked his sleeve, and forty jade bottles floated into view.
Chi Ling grit her teeth, waved her hand, and threw out thirty-eight jade bottles!
Seventy-eight in total!
Witnessing this, Shi Hu’s eyes burned with fervor.
Seventy-eight drops—just how strong could one’s fleshly body become with that?
Gazing at the seventy-eight drops of Divine Demon Blood, a scorching heat flashed across Xu Yang’s eyes.
If not a hundred drops, seventy-eight would suffice.
"That’s all you’re getting."
"If you think it’s not enough, humph, mutual destruction is fine by me too." Xue Sheng stared coldly at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang’s lips curled into a slight smile as he abruptly withdrew all the Evil Qi.
Waves of Spirit Fire bundled with Evil Elixirs poured into the divine cauldron!
The world-burying, annihilating pressure disappeared without a trace within a few breaths.
Xue Sheng and Chi Ling finally exhaled in relief, dark-faced as they shot into the sky.
As he watched the two disappear, Xu Yang trembled uncontrollably, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood in succession.
His flesh, muscles, and bones all quivered without restraint.
Cracks laced his skin, the blood already congealed.
The impact of the ancient Evil Qi had pushed him to the brink of collapse.
He was hanging on by sheer willpower alone.
Still, the outcome was acceptable!
In the distance, Shi Hu let out a sigh of relief, then, consumed by envy and jealousy, turned to leave at once.
He feared he wouldn’t be able to resist snatching it for himself.
"Seventy-eight drops of Divine Demon Blood—once I withstand my limits and refine them, the strength of my body will at least multiply several times over!"
"By then, even the full brunt of that Evil Qi in the cauldron, I can endure it!"
Xu Yang licked his cracked lips, his expression twisting painfully a moment later.
With trembling hands, he pulled out a pill and forced it down his mouth, silently regulating his breathing.
The condition of his wounds wasn’t any less serious than after a life-and-death battle.
As Xu Yang meditated to recover, an elegant silhouette approached from behind.
"Strange, why are all the puppets gone?"
The maiden’s skin was flawless as jade, her features enchanting, her figure alluring and graceful.
At this moment, her eyes were full of suspicion.
All along the way, she hadn’t encountered a single puppet, which struck her as bizarre.
"Huh?"
"That’s... hiss!"
Spotting seventy-eight floating jade bottles ahead, Yai Ruotong’s delicate body trembled and she couldn’t help but gasp.
"Divine Demon Blood, so much Divine Demon Blood, heavens!"
"What happened here? Why does this man have so much Divine Demon Blood in front of him?"
Yai Ruotong almost couldn’t believe what she was seeing; her gaze fixed on Xu Yang, pupils tightening.
At a glance, she saw how weak Xu Yang was—clearly mortally wounded!
She didn’t know what had happened, but her heart began to burn with excitement.
Divine Demon Blood was a supreme treasure!
"To think I’d have such unbelievable luck!"
Yai Ruotong licked her red lips, her enchanting face aglow with excitement.
Whoosh!
Twisting her waist, she appeared close to Xu Yang.
"Are all these Divine Demon Blood yours?" Yai Ruotong asked curiously, scrutinizing Xu Yang.
Xu Yang frowned and replied indifferently, "Of course they are!"
Yai Ruotong pressed her lips and smiled sweetly, "No, these Divine Demon Blood are mine!"
"..."
Xu Yang’s expression darkened, his voice icy: "You can try."
"Hehe, you’re still so cocky when you’re this wounded?"
"You are a high-tier True Monarch, and so am I. You’re gravely injured, and I’m in peak condition."
Yai Ruotong sneered, "Divine Demon Blood belongs to me now. As for you, considering you brought me such a great fortune, I’ll spare your life!"
Saying this, she strode forward to take the Divine Demon Blood.
Suddenly, her figure flickered and vanished like a ghost.
Boom!
A fierce, violent gold flame sword light erupted above Xu Yang’s head out of nowhere.
Yai Ruotong looked down, sneering, "Actually, it’s better to kill you!"
"Otherwise, if you recover and come looking for revenge, it would be troublesome!"
"Courting death!"
Xu Yang’s eyes went cold as he shouted sternly, "Lock!"
Spiritual seals manifested, sealing the heavens and earth as their power swept forth.
Buzz!
The gold flame sword light was locked rigid in midair.
Yai Ruotong’s lovely body quivered, as if sinking into a quagmire, her eyes wide with shock.
"Impossible!"
"Break for me!"
She screamed hoarsely, the sword light detonating in a frenzy!
Xu Yang turned even paler, blood flowing from his lips, the spiritual marks in him shaking—and in an instant, the binding force vanished without a trace.
"Hmph, so that’s all you’ve got!"
Yai Ruotong snorted coldly, sword light cleaving forward unstoppably.
At that moment, Xu Yang summoned a Life Fire Elixir, hurling it skyward against the oncoming sword light.
"What’s that? A pill?"
Seeing the elixir, Yai Ruotong paused, but mocking disdain quickly flashed in her eyes.
"Explode!"
Boom!
Crack!
The elixir detonated, a black Life Fire surging forth in a tide of fiendish fury. Ancient evil intent, like a primordial beast, roiled through the void, instantly swallowing the brilliant gold flame sword light whole.
At the instant of collision, Yai Ruotong’s expression changed dramatically.
The ancient evil aura made her hair stand up and her scalp tingle.
Bam!
The sword light shattered, and the Spirit Sword in her hands quaked and hummed, as if struck by lightning.
With a muffled moan, Yai Ruotong retreated in sudden terror.
She barely managed to regain her footing before coughing up blood, her face deathly pale.
"Damn it!"
Yai Ruotong gritted her teeth, fear and dread flooding her eyes.
But the sight of so much Divine Demon Blood stoked the fires of greed in her heart even stronger.
Whoosh!
Another Life Fire Elixir shot out in a streak.
Yai Ruotong’s face changed completely.
"I want to see how many more you have!"
Yai Ruotong’s hand formed a curve as she summoned a jade spirit umbrella, dazzling jade light cascading down and enveloping her entire body.
Rumble!
The jade light fractured, the spirit umbrella trembling violently.
Yai Ruotong’s whole body shook, terror unconcealed in her eyes.
She blocked the blast, but the spirit umbrella was already at its limit.
Swish swish swish!!
One after another, Life Fire Elixirs appeared before Xu Yang.
He sneered, "Any more defensive treasures? You’d better take them all out."
Yai Ruotong’s eyelids twitched violently, her legs turning weak!
More than a dozen...
Just thinking about that terrifying might sent a chill down her spine!
Yai Ruotong’s expression shifted again and again, until suddenly she let out a cold laugh, "Let me advise you—be sensible and hand over the Divine Demon Blood, and everything will be fine for both of us."
"Oh?"
"You really think too highly of yourself."
Xu Yang’s surprise dissolved into laughter.
"Do you have any idea who I am?"
Yai Ruotong raised her chin, her face full of arrogance.
