Chapter 2294 – Demon Blood Stone
Chapter 2294 – Demon Blood Stone
Ling Qiu was extremely anxious. As an inner disciple of the Azure Demon Sect, he had finally obtained this opportunity to enter the Demon Blood Realm for trials, which he naturally cherished. He had seen the soaring red light on the mountain earlier. And when he arrived, he found Zhao Hai talking to the disciple of the Shadowless Sect. Moreover, it seemed that the two were about to fight. Then he had an idea, he went up the mountain, took the treasure, and left.
Although Ling Qiu was an inner disciple of the Azure Demon Sect, he was not very brave. He had already known that Zhao Hai and the cultivator from the Shadowless Sect were both very strong. He was not confident in facing either of them alone, so he naturally had the idea of taking the treasure and leaving.
In his mind, if Zhao Hai and that cultivator from the Shadowless Sect were to fight, it would take at least several hundred moves to determine a winner. Even if the two of them discovered the treasure was missing, it would still take some time. If he had just a little time, his Green Vine Escape technique would be enough for him to escape far away, and the item would naturally be his.
Ling Qiu never expected that the Shadowless Sect cultivator would die in just a few moves at Zhao Hai’s hands, and that Zhao Hai would immediately catch up with him at a very fast speed.
Ling Qiu inwardly groaned. He hadn’t expected Zhao Hai to arrive so quickly. And judging from Zhao Hai’s speed, even if he used the Green Vine Escape technique, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Although Ling Qiu wasn’t very brave, he was still a member of a demonic cultivation sect. When he realized he couldn’t escape, he coldly snorted, stopped, and stood still, turning his head to look at Zhao Hai who was slowly approaching.
Zhao Hai quickly stopped in front of Ling Qiu, looked at him, and smiled slightly, saying, “So you’re a senior brother from the Azure Demon Sect. Senior brother, how about we make a deal? You give me the treasure you obtained on that mountain, and I’ll give you a treasure in return. What do you say?”
Ling Qiu coldly snorted, “Treasures naturally belong to those with luck. I obtained the treasure first, so it is naturally mine. Besides, who doesn’t know that every treasure produced in this Blood Demon Realm has the ability to absorb the blood energy of others to replenish their own? Other treasures don’t have this ability. Can the treasure you give me have such an ability? Junior brother from the Forbidden Path Sect, I think you should just give up.”
Looking at Ling Qiu’s expression, Zhao Hai sneered, “So, Senior Brother is unwilling? You’re right, treasures belong to those with luck. But I wonder if Senior Brother has that luck.”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Ling Qiu frowned and asked, “Could it be that you intend to steal the treasure?”
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s exactly what I was thinking! Let me witness the Azure Demon Sect’s techniques today!”
The Azure Demon Sect is famous for its Azure Demon Grand Technique, an internal energy cultivation method. During practice, it absorbs the energy of plants and trees, transforming it into spiritual energy to aid cultivators. Upon reaching a high level, each time the energy is channeled, the entire person turns a bluish-green color—this is the origin of the Azure Demon Sect’s name.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Ling Qiu knew that things wouldn’t end well today. He coldly snorted and said, “Then let me show you.” With that, he moved forward and threw a punch at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai laughed loudly and said, “Then I’ll let you see the Arhat Fist of my sect.” With that, he launched an Arhat Punch straight at Ling Qiu.
Upon seeing Zhao Hai’s move, Ling Qiu sneered, “Old Vine Entangling Tree.” With that, his arm seemed to lose its bones, instantly wrapping around Zhao Hai’s arm. He then struck straight at Zhao Hai’s face. Zhao Hai immediately knew that Ling Qiu’s fist technique was extremely special, capable of softening his bones and lengthening his arms, definitely a style that can catch you off-guard.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but become curious about this fist technique. Zhao Hai is currently following the path of body cultivation. Body refinement not only improves your defense, but also your strength and flexibility. And techniques like fist techniques are the favorite of body cultivators.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, and with a shake of his arm, Ling Qiu felt a great force coming from him. His fist, which was aimed at Zhao Hai’s face, suddenly went limp, and his arm slipped off Zhao Hai’s arm.
This move made Ling Qiu feel a chill in his heart. He felt that Zhao Hai’s blood energy was like a river or even the sea, boundless and traceless. And the strength of Zhao Hai was the strongest Ling Qiu has seen in his life, which made him feel even more troubled.
It should be noted that the Azure Demon Sect, to which Ling Qiu belongs to, is not a sect specializing in body cultivation while the Buyun Sect is. Zhao Hai’s strength was already within Ling Qiu’s expectations, but he did not expect Zhao Hai’s strength to be so formidable.
Thinking of this, Ling Qiu moved backward, simultaneously waving his hand. A vine, about three meters long and entirely green, appeared in his grasp. This vine wasn’t entirely soft. In Ling Qiu’s hand, it felt like a wooden stick, yet possessed a flexibility that a wooden stick lacked. This was a signature weapon of the Azure Demon Sect.
As soon as he took out the green vine staff, Ling Qiu roared and attacked Zhao Hai. The vine in his hand was like a live snake, both hard and soft, and the attack was extremely powerful.
Zhao Hai snorted and said, “The Green Vine Staff is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately, you can’t unleash its full power.” After saying that, Zhao Hai unleashed his Arhat Fist and began fighting with Ling Qiu.
Ling Qiu’s staff skills were indeed impressive, but Zhao Hai’s Arhat Fist was no pushover either. Most importantly, the Arhat Fist in Zhao Hai’s hands was incredibly powerful, constantly pressuring Ling Qiu. After only a dozen or so exchanges, Ling Qiu was completely at a disadvantage.
Upon seeing this, Ling Qiu’s face turned pale. He hadn’t expected Zhao Hai to be so strong, forcing him into a disadvantageous position in just over ten moves.
Upon seeing Ling Qiu’s expression, Zhao Hai knew that Ling Qiu still had a trick up his sleeve, and he wanted to see what other methods Ling Qiu still had to show.
All of a sudden, Ling Qiu launched two attacks, then jumped out of the area. He put away the green vine staff in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, a blood-red iron mace appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing the iron mace, Zhao Hai was stunned, then his eyes lit up and he said, “This mace must have been obtained on the mountain, right? I didn’t expect you to be so generous to show it to me. Alright, I’ll take it.”
Ling Qiu sneered, “You’re full of confidence. Although obtaining a weapon from the Blood Demon Realm would be of great benefit to you body cultivators, it is also your greatest nemesis. Body cultivators have strong blood energy, but the weapons from the Blood Demon Realm have the ability to absorb blood energy. When facing such a weapon, your blood energy will continuously drain away. You will become weaker and weaker the more you fight. I’d like to see how you can withstand this iron mace.”
After speaking, Ling Qiu moved and attacked Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai exchanged blows with the iron mace a few times with his bare hands and found that he had indeed lost some of his blood energy. He was stunned for a moment, then coldly snorted. Afterwards, he waved his hand, and a long staff appeared in his hand. This staff was forged by the Forbidden Path Sect before he entered the Blood Demon Realm. Of course, the staff that was forged had already been devoured by liquid silver. The staff that was now formed from liquid silver. At the top of the staff was a tiger’s head biting a cube in its mouth. The cube turned slightly, which looked very magical. This was also the style of the staff that Zhao Hai had the Space designed so that he could still use it after the staff was devoured by liquid silver without anyone noticing anything unusual.
As soon as he took out his long staff, Zhao Hai waved it and attacked Ling Qiu. Zhao Hai was now using the Corpse-Driving Staff Technique, and every swing of the staff was accompanied by the howling of gods and ghosts, making it extremely powerful.
Ling Qiu started to struggle. After a dozen or so moves, Zhao Hai found an opening and struck him on the back with his staff. Ling Qiu coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs and then collapsed to the ground dead.
Zhao Hai glanced at Ling Qiu and sneered, and then sent Ling Qiu to the Space, turning him into an Undead. Zhao Hai then ordered Ling Qiu to take out the iron mace he had obtained. However, he did not expect that Ling Qiu had not obtained a single iron mace, but a pair. The reason he only took out one was because he could only use one, as he did not know how to use a double mace. He used the iron mace as a sword, and he also wanted to use the other iron mace to launch a sneak attack on Zhao Hai if necessary, to give him a severe blow. However, he did not expect that the difference in their strength was too great. Before he could use his counterattack, he was killed by Zhao Hai with a single blow.
Zhao Hai naturally didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately disassembled the two iron maces using the universal processing machine. He then obtained all the materials for the iron maces, and one of them was an ore called Demon Blood Stone, which caught Zhao Hai’s attention. This Demon Blood Stone was a unique stone found only in the Blood Demon Realm. The reason the double iron maces could absorb people’s blood energy to replenish themselves was because of the addition of Demon Blood Stone. Now, Demon Blood Stone ore had been generated in the Space, and it had also been added to the Liquid Silver, turning the entire Liquid Silver blood red. This was somewhat a surprise for Zhao Hai.
However, this was a good thing for Zhao Hai. This kind of thing, which absorbs the blood energy of others to replenish one’s own blood energy, is not common in the True Spirit Realm. It can be said that there are several things that are most precious in the Blood Demon Realm. The first is the secret manuals that appear here from time to time. These manuals are of a very high level and have very unique insights into the use of blood energy. They are very precious.
Secondly, there’s the Demon Blood Stone. Even if they aren’t a body cultivator and don’t value blood energy that much, having enough blood energy is still a good thing for a cultivator. So, obtaining a Demon Blood Stone or a magic weapon infused with it is extremely important for a cultivator.
The magical artifacts that appear in the Blood Demon Realm have always been the focus of competition among all parties. The first one to appear can cause countless people to fight for it. It’s just that the place where these two iron maces appeared is a bit remote, and they appeared not long after Zhao Hai and the others entered the Blood Demon Realm. If they had appeared a little later, these two iron maces would definitely have caused a bloodbath.
Now that the Demon Blood Stone has been added to Liquid Silver, Zhao Hai can absorb the blood energy of others for his own use, which will be of great benefit to him. And the attack power of Liquid Silver will also increase significantly.
