Inside the dark cave, a fire blossomed, illuminating the dark space.
After Jiang Huaizhen lit the fire with a wave of his palm, he set Ling Yanshui aside and sat down with a gasp.
Burning his essence blood twice in a short period of time, coupled with running with all his might, had left this close friend of the Jiang family head exhausted.
“For the time being, let’s adjust and recover our true qi. Xu Xing Ying, you stay behind as a god and keep an eye on external movements.” Jiang Huai Zhen ordered as he sat cross-legged on the ground.
Unlike Jiang Huai Chen, the other three in the party, Xu Xing Ying, Xie Qun and Ji Sheng, were not sons of the Jiang family, but members of their own family, so they naturally respected Jiang Huai Chen as their leader.
It is said that the history of the Jiang family goes back to the time of the war between the three generations of human emperors and the war gods of the southern border, at least 5,000 years ago.
With such a long family history, it is only natural that a large number of family members would have branched out and formed a number of sub-families.
Lu, Xu, Xie, Ji, Qiu, Dong Guo, Gao Tang and Zi Ya —— There are seventy-eight lineages in Eastern Zhou that come from the Jiang family. It can be said that the Jiang family is a major source of bloodline in the Eastern State.
With this history and such a huge power, the Jiang family can be considered the uncrowned king of the eastern state.
Xu Xingying heard what he said and got up and walked to the pa*sage towards the entrance of the cave and sat down on his knees. He was the best at lightness, so he had burned the least amount of blood earlier, and now that he was not badly injured, he could take a little rest while keeping a close eye on the movements outside the cave.
However, right after Xu Xing Ying sat down on his knees, he felt a chilling feeling in his heart, and a horror that he had never felt before continued to pour out from deep inside.
“——”
Xu Xing Ying opened his mouth to cry out, but he felt an inexplicable qi controlling his mouth, not allowing him to make a sound.
No, there was more than one Qi machine. There were eight of them, spreading all over his body and firmly controlling his whole body.
“Xu Xing Ying, what’s wrong?” Jiang Huai Zhen called out as he looked at Xu Xing Ying, who was sitting away from the fire and in the dark shadows.
Although Xu Xing Ying had not made a sound, his earlier move of having to puff up his true qi against an unknown threat had made Jiang Huai Zhen wary.
All of them were experts of the True Dan realm, and they were sensitive to the fluttering of qi. Even though Xu Xingying’s aura only trembled for a moment and then stopped immediately, it still caused Jiang Huaizhen to get up immediately and look at the pa*sage warily.
“Xu Xingying.”
Seeing that Xu Xing Ying did not respond, Jiang Huai Zhen called out again.
The darkness did not obscure Jiang Huai Zhen’s vision. For him, the light from the fire at the back was enough for him to see in the dark.
He could see that Xu Xing Ying had fallen to the ground on his knees, his head hanging down, looking as if he were dead. But Jiang Huai Zhen’s senses told him that Xu Xing Ying was still alive.
“Boom…”
Xu Xingying’s shoulder suddenly cracked and a blaze of fire burst out. Immediately afterwards, a dark green qi twisted like a snake poked out of the wound and twisted in the air.
“Save me!!!” Xu Xingying cried out for help as he used his true qi to mutilate himself for a little freedom.
However, in response to Xu Xing Ying’s plea for help, Jiang Huai Zhen ordered coldly, “Kill!”
The enemy was able to control Xu Xingying without a sound. The three of them were all at a low point and were not strong enough to save Xu Xing Ying.
The best thing to do at this moment was to destroy Xu Xing Ying along with the unknown strange qi. Otherwise, any one of the remaining three could be the next to suffer Xu Xing Ying’s fate.
Without hesitation, Xie Qun and Ji Sheng followed Jiang Huai Zhen and waved their blades at the same time, “Three Bing Qi Blasts.”
“Stab-la-”
On the surface of Xu Xing Ying’s body, dark green sword snakes swam, sucking in the essence of his body, and after devouring all of his essence blood, they broke out of his body.
Xuan Yin Twelve Swords – Everything Becomes My Sword.
After absorbing all of Xu Xing Ying’s essence blood, the Xuan Yin Sword Qi became even more fierce, as the eight sword snakes twisted and scurried out, colliding with the flaming sword astral body.
“—”
Without a sound, the sword diaphragm was torn into pieces. Jiang Huaizhen was already at the end of his rope, so how could he compete with the Xuan Yin Sword Qi that had absorbed Xu Xingying’s blood?
The eight swords were in unison – Xuan Yin Devouring Spirit.
The swords twisted and moved in different directions, as if forming a sword formation.
A dark green poisonous scorpion appeared in vivid detail, flying around Jiang Huai Zhen.
First was Xie Qun, then Ji Sheng. Both of them were powerless against the poisonous auger formed by the Xuan Yin sword qi, and their blood was absorbed by it, turning themselves into dried up corpses and falling to the ground.
Finally, it was Jiang Huai Zhen who was the strongest.
The poisonous auger wrapped itself around Jiang Huai Zhen’s arm and quickly scurried towards his head.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Jiang Huai Zhen’s eyes showed his determination, and his “Blazing Dao Armageddon Duel” was running at breakneck speed, and he was about to execute the same death move. But at that moment, his gaze glanced at Ling Yanshui, who was lying quietly by the fire, and his true qi stalled slightly.
“Bare–”
A sword qi poked out from Jiang Huaijin’s chest, and what dripped from the tip of the sword qi as if it were a real sword was none other than Jiang Huaijin’s heart blood.
“Who is Ling Yanshui? Why do you want to protect her?”
A deep voice came into Jiang Huai Zhen’s ears from behind, following which he felt his mind being invaded by a foreign force ——
“Snapping–”
Jiang Huai Zhen, who had only a bit of bone and flesh left in his body, landed on the ground with a somewhat crisp sound.
Eight streams of Xuan Yin sword flowed into Qing Yu’s right hand, and the purified essence blood within it was slowly released to moisten the hitherto unhealed wound.
After the fight with Xuan Du, Qing Yu had used the residual power of the “Tai Wu Xing Cave” to refine another sword qi, and now there were eight Xuan Yin sword qi under Qing Yu’s control.
Qing Yu also discovered a new use for the Xuan Yin Sword Qi, that is, to absorb impurities and purify the essence of blood. The cultivation of “Blood Soul True Solution” could not be done without essence blood, but Qing Yu did not want to spend time to get rid of impurities and purify essence blood.
At this time, the most sinister and evil Xuan Yin Sword Qi came in handy. The Xuan Yin Sword Qi is not afraid of being contaminated by the blood, and can even draw power from it, making it even stronger.
Qing Yu can use the purified essence blood to cultivate the “True Solution of Blood Soul” and heal his injuries, which is a double win.
After absorbing Jiang Huaizhen’s blood and searching his memories, Qing Yu’s eyes were slightly closed as he slowly sorted out his jumbled memories.
After Jiang Huaizhen was hit by the sword, his blood was taken directly from his mouth by the Xuan Yin Sword Qi, and he did not survive more than two breaths. In such a short period of time, Qing Yu could only scour his brain, not picking and choosing carefully.
A short while later, Qing Yu opened his eyes, “This man’s name is ‘Jiang Huai Zhen’ and he is a close friend of Jiang Hao Gang, the head of the Jiang family. This time, he led an attack on the people of the Guang Han Immortal Palace in order to take Ling Yan Shui, Jiang Hao Yun’s own daughter Jiang Yan Yu, captive.
He did not know why he had taken Ling Yanshui captive, rather than killing her. He only knew that Jiang Haogang had instructed him to make sure that Ling Yanshui was safe. Even if it meant sacrificing the lives of Jiang Huai Zhen’s four men.”
