Embers of Sword

Chapter 42 Scarlet Cave (Please read!)
The blood mist exploded, and then a man in black rushed out from the blood mist.

Whoosh!
Xie Xuanyi didn't look happy.

After entering the cave heaven realm, the strength of the practitioner will undergo a "qualitative change", because the cave heaven of each practitioner has different characteristics corresponding to the great way... If I am not mistaken, the blood-red vertical pupil that appeared between Jialiu's eyebrows is the cave heaven she has condensed!
This cave corresponds to the "Blood Refining Way" of the Tiangui Sect!
When the flying sword pierced Jialiu's shoulder, Jialiu took the opportunity to leave his blood on the sword, waiting for Xie Xuanyi to recall the flying sword.

The blood refining technique is extremely powerful, but it also comes at a high price!

This technique is somewhat similar to the famous "Seven Injury Fist" in the martial arts world. Every time the caster launches an attack, he needs to consume his own blood... All the cultivators who practice this way are identified as "evil cultivators" by Da Chu! In order to make up for the lack of blood, they often suck human blood to feed themselves!

Xie Xuanyi knew from the beginning that Jia Liu was a ruthless person.

But I didn’t expect... this crazy woman to be so decisive!
As soon as the blood refining technique was used, it completely covered the area within a radius of ten feet. She didn't even care about the zombie that she had worked so hard to refine!

Xie Xuanyi escaped successfully.

But the burly zombie was directly blown into countless pieces!
The tall and swaying thick bamboos in the purple bamboo forest were covered with a faint scarlet color, and the air was also filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Your body movements are very good..."

Jialiu sniffed excitedly.

Although her face was pale, her expression became increasingly excited.

The wound that was previously pierced by the flying sword was still bleeding... After the zombie puppet was blown to pieces, the bloody smell in the air almost solidified.

Jialiu slowly raised one slender arm.

As he raised his hand, countless scarlet auras flew and gathered in the air, transforming into blood-red fireballs.

Blood-red stars are suspended above the purple bamboo forest.

"go with!"

A quick shout.

The blood-red vertical pupil on Jialiu's forehead suddenly widened, and dozens of scarlet fireballs hanging in the sky above the bamboo forest fell down with a bang——

Xie Xuanyi turned around and ran without any hesitation, running so cleanly and neatly. This woman from the Tiangui Sect had profound cultivation and her attacks were ruthless. The most important thing was that this scarlet cave... was really weird!
In an instant, the bamboo forest turned into a sea of fire.

One after another, huge red fireballs whistled and smashed down, just like the siege shells developed by the Da Chu Imperial City Bureau, each one carrying the momentum of destroying the world.

The scorching hot wind hit me from behind.

Xie Xuanyi, who was fleeing in a "miserable" manner, took the time to glance back. As expected, he saw Jialiu's hideous and ugly face with a hint of sarcasm and sneer.

This evil cave-heaven cultivator probably thought that the outcome was already decided, and now he just regarded himself as a prey with nowhere to escape, playing the final game of "cat and mouse".

"You probably think you are a smart person, knowing to wear a mask and hide your identity when you go out."

"But in my opinion, complete idiot."

Jia Liu folded her arms and followed slowly behind. The corners of her lips curled up as she watched with interest that Xie Xuanyi was bombarded by fireballs and fled in a panic, as if she was giving Xie Xuanyi a beating when he was down.

She smiled and said, "I was worried that you wouldn't dare to come to the appointment at Chenqing Mountain."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

Through this period of mediation, he has been able to determine...

The scarlet cave where Jia Liu practiced cultivation corresponds to the "Blood Refining Way" of the Tiangui Sect.

There were pits everywhere and blood and fire everywhere.

Every flame burning here is fueled by Jialiu's own blood and essence, but judging from Jialiu's reaction, she seems to be in a state of "sufficient blood"?
"That's about enough fun."

Jia Liu immediately stopped smiling and said coldly, "I'll send you on your way."

She clasped her hands together.

The last blood-red fireball no longer "just brushed past" but instead accelerated and hit directly on top of Xie Xuanyi's head.

The violent sound of breaking through the air resounded through the eardrums.

Xie Xuanyi drew his sword subconsciously, but the sword he had bought casually in Lichao City had been shattered by the Scarlet Cave. Even if he used his Yuanli to summon it, it was nothing more than a pile of fragments... Xie Xuanyi leaned over and ran, stretched out his hand to grab a sturdy purple bamboo, exerted force with his palm, and the five-meter-long purple bamboo was bent and pressed to the ground in an instant.

The next moment, the sound of breaking under the weight was heard, and the purple bamboo was broken into two!
Xie Xuanyi stopped running away and grabbed the slender purple bamboo. He twisted his waist and turned around, then shot it out like throwing a spear!

The moment you turn around.

Xie Xuanyi's entire vision was filled with falling blood and fire!
"boom!"

The next moment, the huge fireball was pierced through by the purple bamboo and exploded. The unparalleled explosive power of the physical body directly broke the "Blood Refining Method" of the Scarlet Cave Heaven with brute force!
Xie Xuanyi raised his sleeves to cover his face, and as he shot the fireball with the purple bamboo spear he pulled back, and fire rain fell from the sky.

He retreated to a safe distance...

The purple bamboo that he threw with all his strength did not slow down after shooting out the fireball, and rushed towards the direction of Jialiu.

It all happened so fast.

Jialiu's pupils contracted, and the seal of the palm of hand was forcibly broken. She was forced to stretch out her hands to block the fierce purple bamboo spear. Fire and blood gathered towards her sleeves, like a dragon drawing water, instantly dyeing her black robe blood red. With just a shake of her palm, the purple bamboo was shattered from top to bottom!
Ding Deng Deng.

Jia Liu took three steps back, his face looking a little ugly, and looked at Xie Xuanyi again with hesitation.

There are actually only a few sects that focus on body refinement.

The guy in front of him was also ruthless when he started to attack, and was no more "merciful" than himself. This method of killing obviously had nothing to do with Buddhism!
Why did she feel that the person in front of her was also a "fellow practitioner" who was practicing evil ways?
……

...Chenqing Mountain fell into a brief silence.

After the previous confrontation, no one chose to attack rashly.

"I don't seem to be able to fight against Dong Tian right now..."

Xie Xuanyi murmured softly in his heart.

As expected.

With less than half of the acupoints lit up, it is difficult to compete with the Cave Heaven Realm.

After condensing the cave heaven, the power of the blood refining technique is far beyond the reach of Xu You and his ilk.

The peak of Qi control and the cave heaven realm seem to be blocked by only a thin bottleneck.

But this is actually a natural barrier.

The existence of "Dongtian" itself is a symbol of the Tao.

If it was only at the Qi Controlling Stage, Jia Liu's "Blood Refining Technique" would not have been able to be performed for such a long time... This cave provided her with extremely rich reserves of Qi and blood, allowing her to squander them without restraint.

Let’s put aside the difference in realm.

There is another very important factor...

That is the "Blood Refining Technique", which is really too weird and too vicious.

Xie Xuanyi looked down at his palms. Golden energy flowed through the acupoints, covering his palms, but a faint bloody and dirty aura could be seen flowing on the surface of his skin.

There was a hissing sound of burning in the air.

Although I have been careful everywhere.

But Jialiu's "Blood Refining Technique" still splashed onto himself.

The evil cultivators who practice this kind of magic often do something crazy... that is, they inject poison into their own blood.

Yes, they would take different poisons on their own.

This way.

The "blood" spilled during normal sacrifices is also highly poisonous!
This is also the reason why normal cultivators are unwilling to fight against evil cultivators. Who wants to fight with such a madman?

In this situation, even a drop of blood would be a very bad thing.

"You are much more capable than I thought."

After a moment of silence.

Jia Liu spoke again, and the look she gave Xie Xuanyi changed. It was no longer the extremely contemptuous look she had before.

"He was hit by the 'Blood Refining Technique', but he can still stand."

Jia Liu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Is there a treasure to protect him, or is this body really so strong that it can resist the poisonous blood?"

neither.

Xie Xuanyi remained silent. He knew very well why he was able to stand.

It's the Fountain of Immortality...

To be precise, it was the golden energy that had not yet condensed into the "Fountain of Immortality". It was originally entrenched inside the Dantian, in a free form. After he was poisoned by the Gu blood, the golden energy began to actively move around on the surface of his body. The "Gu blood" containing a strange poison had just invaded his skin when it was found by the golden energy.

Then they react to each other and cancel each other out.

This is the reason for the constant "hissing" sound.

"Whatever it is, it's a good thing."

Jialiu was not angry when he didn't get a response.

"If you have a treasure that can resist the poisonous blood, after tonight, this treasure will be mine..."

"If you can rely on your physical body to resist, that would be even better. I just need a strong enough puppet."

She smiled, stretched out her hands, and made a strange hand seal gesture again.

A scarlet cave was hovering above his head, with enchanting red light falling like a waterfall. If one ignored this hideous and ugly face and only looked at the hazy and dreamy aura of Jialiu illuminated by the red light... one would actually have the illusion of "seeing a compassionate Bodhisattva".

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.

He saw that Jialiu, who was illuminated by the scarlet light of the cave, had a second pair of arms slowly extending from his back.

This is not an illusion.

Jialiu really grew a second pair of hands. Although they were slender and thin, they were covered in blood!

The second pair of hands, in the Buddhist seal of the pure vase, makes the precious appearance even more dignified.

Bathed in blood, the woman who treated the scarlet cave as a veil spoke softly, "Meeting is fate. Tonight, the mountains are high and the moon is full. It's quiet all around. Why don't you and I have fun?"
