Chapter 1272 Bloodlust Struggle
Chapter 1272 Bloodlust Struggle
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan's heart sank; he clearly hadn't expected the lotus platform to rebound.
And judging from his condition, Lao Liu is probably in grave danger.
"Cough...cough..."
Just then, a coughing sound came from the corner of the wall.
The sixth brother actually managed to get up again, albeit unsteadily. Although he was clutching his chest, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.
Clearly, the inner armor blocked most of the impact of the baleful energy.
"You surnamed Jiang...you tricked me?!"
Old Liu cursed as he breathed heavily, the dull pain in his chest forcing him to lean against the wall.
Just as he was about to start cursing, his eyes were suddenly drawn to a mottled sacrificial mural on the wall next to him.
He had been so focused on the female corpse in the coffin that he hadn't noticed the mural in the corner, with its black lotus patterns subtly echoing the red light of the lotus platform.
Lao Liu suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had figured out something crucial, and no longer cared about complaining about Jiang Xiaochuan.
I steadied myself by holding onto the stone wall, and then ran my fingers along the lines on the mural little by little.
Seeing that he could still cause trouble, Jiang Xiaochuan felt a little relieved.
At least the fat man didn't die on the spot, but at this moment there was no time to ask him what he had discovered.
Because of that brief delay, the skeleton's attention was completely locked onto him, and dark red flames suddenly surged in the empty eye sockets.
Just as Jiang Xiaochuan turned around, the skeletal arm raised, and a ball of dark red blood condensed in its palm.
The blood sphere continued to compress, and a terrifying pressure swept over us.
The next second, it went straight for Jiang Xiaochuan's face.
"Not good!"
Alarm bells rang in Jiang Xiaochuan's mind. His intuition told him that he absolutely could not take this hit head-on!
While he was thinking, he shifted his foot and narrowly dodged the attack.
Before Jiang Xiaochuan could even stand up straight, he heard a soft "whoosh" sound behind him.
When the blood sphere hit the stone wall, it didn't blast a hole in it. Instead, it was like water droplets falling into water, leaving only a rapidly spreading dark red erosion mark on the surface.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan felt a chill in his heart.
The wall had clearly been specially reinforced, and even such a fierce attack couldn't budge it an inch. Trying to break through by brute force and escape was simply a pipe dream.
The best course of action now is to destroy the Blood Lotus in order to find a glimmer of hope.
His mind raced. Ordinary methods couldn't harm the lotus platform protected by the evil aura, but there was one thing that might work!
"Bloodthirsty, come out!"
Jiang Xiaochuan flicked his finger and said in a low voice.
A streak of blood-red light shot out and hovered in front of him, buzzing.
"go with!"
Jiang Xiaochuan pointed his finger, and Bloodlust immediately transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, piercing straight into the crimson lotus platform surging with red light!
Just as Bloodlust was about to touch the crimson light barrier of the lotus platform, the dark red flames in the skull's empty eye sockets suddenly leaped.
As if by instinct, the bony hand, glowing with red mist, summoned something in mid-air!
The unstoppable, bloodthirsty dart abruptly stopped in mid-air, its body trembling violently.
The originally sharp, dark red light suddenly dimmed, and even showed signs of changing direction and flying towards the skeleton!
"Oops!"
Jiang Xiaochuan wished he could slap himself.
He was too clever for his own good!
The Bloodthirsty Dart was originally the coffin-guarding artifact of the Blood Marrow Ancestor, and the Demon Moon Cult Leader before them belonged to the Crimson Blood Cult just like the Blood Marrow Ancestor, and both cultivated the pure Blood Fiend Technique.
The dart's body was imprinted with the bloodthirsty aura of past sect leaders, giving it a natural sense of submission to the remnant soul of this sect leader from hundreds of years ago!
Once the skeleton gains control of Bloodlust, this deadly weapon capable of destroying everything, combined with the opponent's Blood Fiend power far exceeding the Nirvana Realm, could kill the two of them in the blink of an eye!
Just as Jiang Xiaochuan was in shock, the Bloodlust suddenly swayed more violently, and the blade emitted a mournful "buzzing" sound, as if it was trying to break free from his mental control!
"Hold on tight!"
Jiang Xiaochuan was shocked and immediately focused all his attention into his mind.
Simultaneously operating the Blood Fiend Technique, using its own meager Blood Fiend Qi as a bond, forcibly establishes a deeper resonance with the Blood Devouring Dart.
He knew that although the skeleton was the original owner of Bloodlust, it was only a remnant soul, without a complete will, and could only be guided by instinct.
As long as he can maintain the mental connection, he can fight for control of Bloodlust.
A man and a skeleton, several feet apart, simultaneously applied the pull of the Bloodthirsty Dart.
The Bloodthirsty Dart hovered in mid-air, trembling violently. Its blade cut through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, swaying back and forth between Jiang Xiaochuan and the skeleton, as if caught in a dilemma.
The stalemate lasted less than a minute before the skeleton seemed to lose patience.
Its head slowly turned, its empty eye sockets facing Jiang Xiaochuan, and with a lift of its bony hand, another blood sphere the size of a fist condensed.
The bloodthirsty aura emanating from it almost solidified the air!
Jiang Xiaochuan sensed something was wrong.
At this moment, all his mind and blood energy were focused on competing for the Bloodthirsty Dart, leaving him no time to defend himself!
They can either abandon Bloodlust and avoid the attack, but if Bloodlust falls into the hands of the skeleton, both of them will surely die.
Either take the hit head-on and seize the opportunity to reclaim Bloodlust, at which point there is a glimmer of hope!
Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes. Instead of withdrawing his thoughts, he circulated his blood and qi throughout his body, pushing the Blood Fiend Technique to its limit.
At the same time, he forcefully twisted his body, using his back to face the deadly blood sphere!
"Oh!"
The blood sphere slammed into Jiang Xiaochuan's back with tremendous force.
The clothes on his back were instantly corroded by the bloodthirsty aura, his skin turned blackish-purple, and a piercing pain spread throughout his body along his spine.
Despite this, Jiang Xiaochuan's consciousness did not waver in the slightest. Taking advantage of the clarity brought on by the intense pain, he suddenly intensified his mental pull and shouted, "Come back!"
Bloodlust seemed to sense Jiang Xiaochuan's resolute determination, or perhaps the skeleton's pull was weakened by the distracted attack.
The dart trembled violently, its dark red light surging, breaking free from the skeleton's pull and transforming into a streak of blood-red light, flying back to Jiang Xiaochuan's hand at lightning speed!
Upon receiving the blood-devouring pill, Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood, his internal energy and blood in complete disarray.
Seeing that his bloodlust had been taken back, the skeleton went into a complete frenzy, and dark red flames surged from its empty eye sockets.
With a series of swift movements of his bone hand, fist-sized blood orbs were unleashed one after another as if they were free, the dense array of dark red orbs blotting out the sky and crashing down on Jiang Xiaochuan.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaochuan dared not take the attack head-on and could only use his spiritual energy to flee in a sorry state.
"Hang in there! I'm about to find a way out!"
Noticing Jiang Xiaochuan's predicament from afar, Lao Liu shouted while enduring the dizziness caused by his churning blood.
"Hurry up!"
Jiang Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and roared.
The sixth brother's response delighted him, but the onslaught of blood spheres forced him to face reality.
There were just too many blood cells; there was no way to dodge them.
As they were talking, a blood sphere flew past their shoulder.
Jiang Xiaochuan lost his balance and slammed his back against the stone wall, reopening his wound.
Without the agility of the Bagua Steps and unable to activate his X-ray vision for prediction, if Lao Liu cannot find an exit within a minute, only death awaits him.
Not far away, Lao Liu was in no better shape, staggering around like a drunkard.
