Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 249 Bloodsucking
Gu Jingnian bit into the heart of the snake, as if biting into a persimmon and sucking out its juice.

The giant serpent roared and tried to struggle, but it had limited ways to deal with Gu Jingnian. The serpent could only save itself, so it pierced into Gu Jingnian's body with its tentacles and sucked his blood.

Blood began to circulate between them.

Sometimes, Gu Jingnian would suck hard, draining the snake's heart until it was shriveled. Other times, the tentacles would increase their force, filling the snake's heart with Gu Jingnian's blood.

Driven by their shared desire to survive and become stronger, neither of them showed the slightest sign of slackness or soft-heartedness.

"Son."

Yingyao rushed forward to save Gu Jingnian, grabbing the snake's heart and trying to pluck it off so that Gu Jingnian could suck its blood.

However, despite her immense strength, she could only manage to shake the snake's heart a few times, and failed to pluck it off directly.

Instead, two tentacles pierced her heart and began to suck her blood.

In this way, the balance was broken, and the serpent's heart instantly became full and powerful. Gu Jingnian lost too much blood and became weak and powerless, so the speed at which he absorbed the serpent's heart's blood became slower.

Yingyao was in a panic and didn't know what to do when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.

"Suck its blood."

Hu Jingnan cautiously took a few steps forward, observing the situation, and then reminded Yingyao.

Yingyao immediately opened her mouth and bit down on the snake's heart, sucking it fiercely.

She absorbed the blood quickly, but after receiving her blood, the serpent's heart also became stronger, maintaining a delicate balance. As a result, the blood began to circulate among the three of them.

Hu Jingnan stood aside and watched for a moment, then took out a gauze robe from her sleeve, wrapped it around herself, and stepped forward to bite the snake's heart as well.

The snake's heart was only the size of an apple. The three of them took a bite from it at the same time, crowding it so much that their faces were pressed together.

Yan Da also wanted to go up and take a breath, but he was afraid of being hurt by the tentacles and there was no room, so he simply raised his hand and set fire to Liu Yuchuan, who was being held by the snake's head.

Gu Jingnian felt a slight touch on his nose as he was weak. He opened his eyes and met Hu Jingnan's gaze.

He could see a "strategic" look hidden in those gentle eyes, which showed that Hu Jingnan was also there for the various opportunities to improve her cultivation.

That's fine, everyone wants to become stronger, so let's rely on our own abilities.

With a sharp bite, Hu Jingnan finally sucked the blood from the snake's heart. It was cold, but not fishy or foul-smelling; it tasted like pure snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains.

But as the blood entered her stomach, a warm current surged up, quickly making her feel energetic and strong again.

It's truly a cure for heart ailments.

Several tentacles tried to pierce Hu Jingnan, but they couldn't penetrate her gauze dress. It was unknown what material the gauze dress was made of, but it must be a treasure of the Yan Kingdom.

With one more person sucking the giant serpent's heart blood, the balance was broken, and the serpent's heart began to wither away little by little.

Suddenly, a tentacle pierced the back of Hu Jingnan's neck, a part of her body that was not covered by her gauze dress.

A large amount of blood rushed into the snake's heart along the tentacles, and Hu Jingnan's face quickly turned pale. The heart of the snake was filled again, and most of it was Hu Jingnan's blood.

At this time.

"Oh!"

A powerful force, like a giant wave, shoved the three of them away, sending them crashing into the fleshy wall on the other side of the ventricle.

Liu Yuchuan finally broke free from the snake's sharp teeth and walked towards Huixin.

Gu Jingnian looked over and saw that half of Liu Yuchuan's body had been bitten to pieces, torn from his left shoulder to his right chest and heart. His right hand was also broken, with the bloodied bone hanging limply.

Even so, Liu Yuchuan was still able to casually raise his left hand and throw a water ball, sending Yan Da flying to the side.

Liu Yuchuan glanced sideways, staring only at Huixin, seemingly oblivious to the pain he was enduring.

Gu Jingnian saw that his wounds were healing rapidly, his damaged internal organs were gradually healing, and his exposed bones were being covered by skin and flesh.

"Are you also a healer?"

Gu Jingnian tried to stand up, but it was still difficult, so he asked a question, hoping to delay Liu Yuchuan.

"I should have guessed it sooner; I noticed you weren't injured at all."

"So, did you guess? You're my son."

Liu Yuchuan made a sarcastic remark, but did not linger while talking to Gu Jingnian. He walked up to Huixin, whose tentacles stabbed at him, but were controlled by his supernatural abilities and shrank away little by little.

Gu Jingnian pressed further, "Chu Danqing said the same thing. Do you know him?"

Liu Yuchuan did not answer, continuing to entangle with the tentacles.

"Or perhaps you are Gu Beiming in disguise?"

"Ha, a bunch of juniors."

"A junior?" Gu Jingnian finally got a clue and continued to probe, asking, "You don't look like a senior expert either."

“You have no idea how to properly use the 'Hui Xin' (虺心), you are wasting its potential.”

Liu Yuchuan muttered to himself. After all the tentacles drooped down, he grasped the snake's heart and pried it open with force.

During the process, his injuries continued to heal, and healed very quickly.

Gu Jingnian's gaze had already shifted from him, glancing at the snake head behind him.

The snake's head was enormous, and it was unclear how it had been inserted into the ventricle, but Liu Yuchuan had forcefully twisted it off, knocking out a sharp tooth and leaving the mouth full of wounds.

But now, the snake's head is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had gained the ability to heal itself after absorbing Gu Jingnian's blood.

Seeing that Liu Yuchuan had not yet discovered this, Gu Jingnian continued the conversation, asking, "Since you are a senior, do you know Shi Xuandao?"

"How old is Master Xuandao?"

Liu Yuchuan didn't even look up, clutching the snake heart tightly as he retreated outside.

He needs to take the snake's heart out of the ventricle, so that the giant snake will truly die.

Upon reaching the edge of the ventricle, the ventricle began to tremble and tried to pull back with tremendous force, attempting to return to the center of the ventricle. Liu Yuchuan had no choice but to fight back with all his might.

Just then, he noticed something and suddenly turned around.

"Oh!"

The snake's head crashed in, its blade piercing Liu Yuchuan's body and carrying him directly through the other side of his heart.

The giant snake actually pierced itself through.

At the same time, Gu Jingnian and the others were all knocked out of their bodies by it.

Under the long-awaited sunshine and a gentle breeze, Gu Jingnian spread his fiery wings in the air and steadied himself.

The giant serpent's eight heads unfolded in the sky, while another head emerged from its body.

What about the snake's heart?
Looking at Liu Yuchuan, he was hanging on the horn of the snake's head, his hands empty, having not obtained the snake's heart.

The snake head tossed Liu Yuchuan high into the air, and eight snake heads swarmed him. Three snake heads grabbed him at the same time, preparing to tear him apart alive.

As the snake's head slowly withdrew from the giant serpent's body, a huge hole could be seen in the serpent's body, with its heart still inside.

Just now, the snake's heart was protected by the snake's head holding it in its mouth.

This giant snake saved its life in this way.

The snake's heart emitted a red glow, and its body was rapidly repairing itself.

At the same time, the three snake heads that had grabbed Liu Yuchuan in the sky suddenly separated.

Gu Jingnian could almost hear the sound of his body being torn apart.

However, Liu Yuchuan suddenly disappeared.

The giant serpent roared, its nine heads looking in different directions.

The vast expanse of heaven and earth offered no sign of Liu Yuchuan.

In any case, the opportunity to take the snake's heart is gone. The giant snake has escaped its weakest and most vulnerable moment and will only grow stronger.

Gu Jingnian made a quick decision and prepared to lead everyone to escape.

Suddenly, all nine heads of the giant snake turned around and hissed at him.

Surprisingly, this time, Gu Jingnian was able to understand what it was saying.

"How dare you suck my blood!"

"It's talking?" Hu Jingnan was also surprised and turned around.

Gu Jingnian raised his head and shouted at the giant snake, "What? You want to judge me based on morality?!"

"I ate you!"

Nine gaping maws snapped down in an instant.

Gu Jingnian and the others were preparing to use their skills to deal with the giant snake, but as it approached, they had a strange feeling, as if they could smell the same aura in each other's blood.

Just then, a figure appeared in the giant serpent's ventricle; it was Shen Jichi.

More accurately, it is a shadow of Shen Jichi.

Shen Jichi wanted to wait for the best opportunity to strike and take the heart, but the opportunity was fleeting. He was a step too slow. The tentacles that grew from the snake heart attacked him and instantly shattered his teleportation.

After this incident, the giant snake stopped attacking Gu Jingnian and the others, and withdrew its nine heads, which then circled its body to protect it.

Having escaped this calamity, it is destined to become the overlord of this world.

After cultivating for several hundred more years, they may even break free from this cage and return to the Yihai (a region inhabited by foreign lands).

Compared to its promising future, these few people from Zhongzhou are nothing but dust.
