Northern Zhou, in the Imperial City.
Two figures clad in blood-coloured cloaks came down in broad daylight to the huge statue of the Tongtian in front of the Taihe Hall.
Walking in the empty square, Ji Tang was a little uncomfortable as he said to Blood Bat No. 1, “What kind of status do you think Mirror Master is now, to let us walk here in broad daylight?”
What was this place, before the Hall of Taihe, the place where the civil and military officials of Northern Zhou had to pa*s every time they went to court. At the other end of the square, the Taihe Hall was where the court meetings were held.
To be able to let them walk here openly and honestly, Ji Tang simply dared not imagine who the Mirror Master could be?
“Cut the talk and cut the questions, is the identity of the Mirror Master also for you and others to explore?” Bloodbat No. 1 scolded in a low voice.
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived under the giant statue of the Tongtian, looking up at the giant statue which was sixty-six feet tall.
“Ji Tang, Blood Bat No. 1 -”
A vast and lofty voice rang out, and the Yuan Qi around the eye of the colossal statue of the Tongtian began to boil, bringing with it a powerful burst of pressure.
“Mirror Master ——”
Ji Tang and Blood Bat No.1 looked at each other, knelt down in unison and saluted, “See Mirror Master!”
“The two of you, you are also my old subordinates, you were also serving me when you went all the way with the Green Dragon Society and established the Blood Cloth House. I ask you, do you want to have even more power?”
The pale, lofty voice struck fear into the hearts of Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1, while the meaning of the words struck straight into their hearts.
In this world, it was getting worse and worse. Ever since Qing Yu faked his own death to escape, he had handed over his a*sa*sin business to Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1.
However, Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1 did not have the same strength as Qing Yu, so they could only take over the business of some ordinary God Yuan realms.
In the past, they were considered experts, and the Blood Cloth House was able to a*sa*sinate them, so their reputation was slowly building up. But as the activities of the True Dan Realm became more and more frequent, the Blood Cloth House gradually began to lose its strength.
Especially recently, the Desperate Life Hall has also started to enter Northern Zhou. The entry of this veteran a*sa*sin organisation, which is also the number one a*sa*sin organisation in the world, has greatly reduced the Blood Cloth’s room for survival.
Compared to the scenery they had in the past when they were in the Green Dragon Society, the current Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1 were really hard to describe.
“It seems that you guys are thinking.”
Qing Yu’s gaze seemed to be everywhere, seeing through the duo’s minds before they could speak.
“In that case, take these two sword qi.”
The sound of breaking air came from above, and Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1 could not help but look up. They could only see the sword lights flying through the air, crossing and swirling, and suddenly they were in front of their eyes.
Before they could see the sword light’s true appearance, they felt a cool sensation flowing down from the sky and instantly filled their bodies.
A powerful force gradually filled their bodies, and along with it came a supreme evil intent of killing.
Silently, Ji Tang and Blood Bat No.1’s pupils, which had turned slightly red as a result of their Blood Dao martial arts training, were filled with a sinister green colour, and their true qi was absorbed by the sword qi, which completely merged into an extremely sinister and evil sword qi.
Endless sword intent gushed out from their minds, and the vast comprehension of the sword dao caused the two to instantly abandon their past martial arts and switch to the sword dao.
Unlike Yun Zheng, Qing Yu had inspired the power of these two Xuan Yin Sword Qi from the very beginning, causing the sword bodies of Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1 to open up and create swiftly and visibly.
In a matter of a few breaths, the transformation of their sword bodies was basically complete, and they were only waiting to grow again in the future, and a long and narrow blood-coloured sword stripe appeared on their eyebrows.
The aura on their bodies also rose rapidly, instantly surpa*sing the peak of the Divine Origin realm, only waiting to adapt to the sword qi before they could bring into play the battle power of the True Dan realm.
“I grant you power, and at the same time, you will once again hold the sword for me and kill my enemies.”
The pale voice caused the two, who were immersed in their sudden and powerful power, to quickly turn back and bow down in unison, “Thank you, Mirror Master.”
“Then go, slaughter the people of Purgatory Peak and strengthen yourself ——”
The white-haired Daoist sitting on his knees within the giant statue whispered to himself, “And strengthen me at the same time ——”
The absorption that had been going on had caused the Xuan Yin Sword Qi to shrink quite a bit as well. The essence of the Tong Shen was still there, but the energy within it was used by Qing Yu to melt the power of the Dragon Yuan and inhale it all together to become his own power.
The two Sword Qi given to Ji Tang and Blood Bat No. 1 just now were quite a lot of energy that had been absorbed.
However, the Xuan Yin Sword Qi is originally a sinister sword, so it can replenish its energy by killing and absorbing evil thoughts. The two of them, Ji Tang, were equivalent to Qing Yu’s scythe, and they would harvest leeks everywhere for Qing Yu, providing powerful sustenance.
“Go ahead and collect energy for me ——”
Qing Yu slowly closed his eyes and rested his hands on the dragon element, golden light and green aura intermingled in his hands, the huge energy was running every moment, yin and yang merging, washing away the hostile and Best*al energy, before being absorbed by the surrounding taiji diagram.
The powerful, solid aura grows at a rate that is difficult to see with the naked eye, but is tangibly present.
————————
Near the Ji’an Mansion, the two warring sides paused in their battle due to the sudden blood shadow.
“The “Blood Shadow Divine Technique”, it really is your Blood Demon Cult people who are up to no good.”
Hua Bai Mei, who had revealed her form, gritted her teeth.
The blood shadow, instead of attacking and killing the Red Lord, was protecting him.
After absorbing the sword energy, the blood-coloured shadow left the body of the Red Lord and flew in a bizarre circle in the air before finally plunging into a blood-clad youth with a bloodthirsty smile.
“Blood Shadow of the Blood Demon Sect, I have met all of you from the Yin Demon Sect.” The Blood Shadow smiled wryly as he looked towards the crowd coming after him, his eyes revealing a thirst for blood.
“Blood Shadow Son ——,” Hua Bai Mei recited the man’s name.
Blood Shadow, the ninth on the Earth Ranking, whose real name was unknown, had received the title Blood Shadow for slaughtering several True Dan realm experts in Ji Zhou, and had simply taken Blood Shadow as his name.
This man’s might has been certified, and the Destiny Altar has given him the seal of approval, ninth on the Earth Ranking. The battle record of slaughtering several True Dan realm experts had also caused Hua Baimei and the others to raise a hundred thousand percent of their guard.
“Blood Demon Sect, is this an attempt to tear up the previous alliance?” Hua Baimei took a deep breath and asked.
“Heh, a bunch of weaklings, tearing up ——”
Overlapping blood-colored shadows suddenly emerged from the Blood Shadow’s body, and the heavy smell of blood filled the crowd’s mouth and nose, “—— so what!”
Blood erupted, countless blood shadows scattered out in all directions, pouncing on the attack.
“Make a move.”
Zhu Zhengyang, the imperial consecrator of the Northern Zhou royal family who had come this time, raised his hand and sent out a fierce palm force, blasting the blood-coloured shadows.
The rest of the crowd also used their own tricks to block these bizarre blood shadows. With the speed of the blood shadows, there was no way to escape, so they could only fight to the death.
