Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 241: Blood Pool Turbulence

Zhao Yifu's experience in the eighth heaven prison was not very good. He always felt that the monsters and demons here were particularly boring.

He quickly finished his work here and went to the ninth floor.

Aurora felt his scalp tingling as he watched Zhao Yifu go to the ninth floor so neatly... The ninth floor was not a fun place. The demons imprisoned there were all extremely ancient and powerful beings... In fact, they were beings that ordinary people could not understand.

Aurora was wearing the White Tiger Armor and had a White Tiger Order on his waist, which made him look very heroic.

But unfortunately, no matter how fancy and beautiful her clothes were, she couldn't stop her trembling heart at this moment.

"How ignorant and fearless! You are trying to kill me!"

She groaned inwardly.

But there was no other way. Since the White Tiger Lord had given the order and she had accepted it, she could only bite the bullet and do it... although she didn't know what her small body could do in the Ninth Heaven Prison.

……

The Nine-Layered Prison, this is the top of the prison.

There is no roof, and it faces the continuous thunder bombardment from the sky.

When Zhao Yifu appeared at the top, he was somewhat surprised to find that the thunder seemed to have paused for a moment.

Then he remembered something...

The thunder in this heavenly prison is not formed naturally, but is carried out by the special prison punishment god of the Thunder Department.

So he raised his fist to the sky and said, "Are you a senior from the Thunder Department? I am Fu Yinzi, and I am honored to meet you."

No matter whether it helps or not, it's definitely a good idea to be polite when you arrive in a strange place.

Of course, the gods from the Ministry of Thunder and Prison ignored him...it seemed that it was not Marshal Xin.

Zhao Yifu began to wonder about the identity of the god of thunder who controlled the heavenly prison thunder tribulation above his head.

Behind him, Fairy Aurora watched this scene silently, sneering in her heart: The God of Thunder has a job here, how could he possibly care about him?
Then Zhao Yifu said, "I heard there's a Marshal Liu in the Thunder Department, in charge of the Thunder Prison's punishments... Could it be that you, Senior, are Marshal Liu?"

He spoke without waiting for any reaction from above him, "I, Fu Yinzi, have just come down from the human world and brought with me a good deal of fine wine. I hope to have a drink with you sometime. It would be an honor."

Fairy Aurora felt like she was looking at a clown. Would the Lord of Thunder lower his pride and chat with you just because of something like this?
Is not the nectar of heaven better than the wine of mortals?
however……

The thunder in the sky subsided slightly, and a voice came down: "Focus on your work, don't waste time here."

Zhao Yifu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, thank you, Marshal Liu, for your advice."

So polite.

Marshal Liu actually showed his face above the thunderclouds. He looked at Zhao Yifu and said in a slightly slower tone, "Hurry up. I will control the thunder so it won't fall on you."

Zhao Yifu hurriedly thanked him again.

Even the Aurora Fairy was stunned.

It seems that there is nothing special in the communication between Marshal Liu and Zhao Yifu, but the problem is that there is a back-and-forth dialogue between the two sides!
This is different.

This means that we can make friends now!

Fairy Aurora was extremely upset. Why had she been serving as the warden here for three hundred years, and Marshal Liu still ignored her? And Zhao Yifu came and just exchanged a few words and he was already hooking up with her?

This is very annoying.

At this time, Zhao Yifu was working honestly.

The ground of this Nine-Layered Prison is like white jade, without a dome, and the strong wind is stronger than a knife edge.

Therefore, the punishment of the Nine Heavens Prison is the continuous bombardment of thunder and the lingering punishment of the strong wind from the Nine Heavens!
This punishment was so severe that Zhao Yifu dared not touch it.

Therefore, he decided not to meddle in other people's business and just complete his duties to avoid causing trouble for Marshal Liu.

To be honest, there are only three prisoners held in the Jiuchongtian Prison.

In a corner of the Nine-Layered Heaven Prison, there was an old dragon that looked to be on its last legs… Its body was so huge that it directly occupied half of the Nine-Layered Heaven Prison.

Zhao Yifu didn't know who this old dragon was, and it never once looked up at him. The lightning that struck it was like a tickle, and it felt nothing.

Zhao Yi Fu just quietly came to Lao Long and checked the restrictions. After finding that there was no problem, he left.

Then he thought of the sea creatures imprisoned in the seventh level...

He already had a story line in his mind.

Could it be that this old dragon and his sirens are trying to rebel against heaven?
As a result, he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and tortured.

He quickly checked the restrictions, and found that they were so strong and strict that he couldn't adjust them.

It's really just a check to see if there are any omissions.

Then there was a headless body!

The body was wrapped in five chains, four of which locked the limbs, and the thickest one was tied around the waist.

This posture, as if he could jump up and do something at any time...

Zhao Yi Fu took a look at its condition and felt that the heavenly thunder washing its body and the strong wind cutting its body seemed to have no effect on it. Anyway, it just stayed there quietly without moving.

Zhao Yifu completed the restriction check at the farthest place that his spiritual thoughts could reach, then turned and left.

This thing is too dangerous. He can feel a murderous aura from afar, which is much stronger than the murderous aura brought by his limited experience on the battlefield.

Sure enough, none of those imprisoned in the Nine Heavens Prison are simple people.

There is one last prisoner that has not been checked.

Zhao Yifu walked towards a place closer to the center.

In fact, the scene there can be seen from afar. Dozens of stone pillars of punishment stand there, and nine chains hang from each pillar.

The chains kept shaking, as if the trapped beings were constantly struggling.

When Zhao Yifu walked forward, he discovered that under the large area covered by the punishment stone pillar was actually a pool of blood!
The blood pool continued to surge under the punishment of thunder, and there was even a faint tendency for it to expand.

Good man, could it be that some ancient great being is imprisoned here?
Zhao Yifu stood far away at the edge of the blood pool, sensing with his spiritual sense, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

In his spiritual perception, he vaguely touched upon a very terrifying and huge idea, which was actually trying to penetrate into his mind and control his thinking!

At this moment, Zhao Yifu recalled his helplessness when facing Mo Luo, and he could only resist by repeatedly self-destructing his golden elixir.

But fortunately, the demon at that time did not take it seriously, and now the existence in the blood pool is extremely weak.

His will did not waver. The foundation he had painstakingly laid had taken effect. This body, without any impurities or stagnation, merged with his soul and suddenly repelled the invading will.

At the same time, he retreated quickly and raised his head in alarm, "Marshal Liu, the restrictions have loosened. What should we do?"

He thought about stabilizing the existence in the blood pool first and then secretly reporting it.

But he didn't dare to gamble. Who knew what would happen during the delay?
At least the creature in the blood pool is still weak now, and at least the loosened restriction should still be effective.

The thunder tribulation above his head paused slightly.

At this moment, the blood in the pool suddenly boiled up and formed a blood chain that wanted to encircle Zhao Yifu. In fact, Zhao Yifu had already reacted.

He had already activated the 'Taixu Forbidden Book' and suddenly transformed it into three small prison chains that were entangled with the blood chain.

This is his hidden self-defense trick. The "Taixu Forbidden Book" seems to have been strengthened a lot in this Heavenly Prison. The most important thing is that it can mobilize some of the power in the Heavenly Prison.

He succeeded. His cultivation was insignificant to the being in the blood pool, but 99% of this being's strength had been suppressed by the Heavenly Prison. The remaining strength was what Zhao Yifu borrowed from the Heavenly Prison to resist for a moment...

This moment also gave Marshal Liu in the thunderclouds in the sky time to react.

The thunder in the sky came crashing down the next moment, and the mighty momentum even seemed to cover the entire upper three levels of the Heavenly Prison.

The thunder poured down into the blood pool like a rainstorm, causing the already restless blood pool to explode into blood flowers.

Only then did Zhao Yifu feel his strength weaken... The stalemate just now almost drained all his cultivation.

You have to know that he is now an immortal, but he couldn't withstand that brief contact... It is conceivable how powerful the accumulation of existence in this blood pool is.

Fortunately, his foundation is solid and his whole body is integrated. Apart from excessive consumption, there are no other hidden dangers.

Then he hurriedly used the Ether Forbidden Book to speed up his breathing and refine the spiritual energy, not caring whether there would be any problems after refining the spiritual energy here.

I can't care about so many things at this moment.

In fact, the Nine Heavens Prison was just filled with thunder and lightning spiritual energy. When Zhao Yifu took a breath, the entire Taixu Forbidden Book was entangled with lightning, and he himself was also entangled in thunder, and it seemed that some of the lightning was sucked into his body.

The pure Yang fire in Zhao Yifu's body was running at full power, refining the calamity energy as much as possible to restore his own cultivation.

At this moment, the blood pool suddenly swelled again, and the terrifying blood wave covered the sky and earth, and it seemed that it was about to engulf Zhao Yifu...

Seeing this, Fairy Aurora did not retreat. She gritted her teeth and prepared to go forward and pull Zhao Yifu away.

But before she could reach Zhao Yifu, she was suddenly swallowed by another wave of blood...

"what!"

She screamed.

Zhao Yifu moved his ears in confusion. Was he hallucinating just now?
But at this time he had no time to think about other things. He raised the Taixu Forbidden Book again and pushed it to the limit of his ability. The green light released from it barely delayed the spread of the blood wave.

Then Zhao Yi Fu spat out a mouthful of true fire and raised the killing knife.

He now had no way of guessing.

Anyway, his Killing Sword can be made stronger by blood sacrifice, and there is so much blood here, so if he can reduce it a little, the better. As for what effect the blood sacrifice will have on the Killing Sword?
This is not something you should think about right now. Let’s talk about it after you get through this stage.

It turned out that his operation worked.

The blood sacrifice begins.

A bloody vortex quickly formed around the Killing Knife, and countless blood plasmas flowed into it under the burning of the true fire, and then became part of the Killing Knife.

At the same time, the original texture of the Killing Knife began to be replaced in the blood sacrifice. What was visible to the naked eye was a lot of gray impurities and dust floating around it... These were the spiritual materials it used in the mortal world, which were eliminated as its own texture continued to improve.

There is no doubt that the Killing Sword is getting stronger.

But what is worrying is that as it grows stronger, the aura of resentment and hatred increases exponentially.

At this moment, Zhao Yifu could only mobilize the Yang core in the blade to suppress it...

He even had to use his own spirit to help suppress it and prevent the killing knife from getting out of control.

Fortunately, his "sacrifice instead of defense" was very successful. After he resolved this wave of counterattacks from the blood pool, it finally calmed down.

It seemed that what happened just now was indeed the last blow of the Blood Pool.

Zhao Yifu's situation is very bad now. His soul is resisting the crazy information transmitted from the killing knife. The crazy voice makes him very irritated.

How long has it been since he experienced this feeling?

It's been a long time. The last time was when I had an argument with Mu Lu [Yang] from the Taixu Forbidden Book.

When Zhao Yifu thought of this, he suddenly had an idea. Why not let Mu Luyang bear the madness of the killing knife for him?

Anyway, both of them are crazy, so there should be no problem for crazy people to quarrel with each other, right?
He thought there was no problem, the logic was smooth and the loop was closed.

So he held the Killing Knife in one hand and the Taixu Forbidden Book in the other, and used his own soul as a bridge in the middle... connecting the two sides!

At that moment, Zhao Yifu felt as if his soul was being bombarded with horrific spam messages.

Very noisy, very, very noisy.

But the noise did not come from a single sound, but from two sources, emitting different sounds that conflicted with each other, all mixed together into a chaotic mess.

This almost drives me crazy...

But after Zhao Yifu got through the most difficult stage, he suddenly felt relieved.

For example, imagine your wife is on your left, your mother-in-law is on your right. They're caught in the middle, arguing. If you listen intently to what's going on, you'll likely find yourself completely suffocated. Assisting either side seems wrong and unnecessary. The best approach is to simply let go of everything...and then the world will seem incredibly peaceful.

This metaphor may be a bit inappropriate, but Zhao Yifu is probably in this relatively balanced state now.

But in the end, it is a balance in the noise, and some of the upper limit of the soul is sacrificed.

But at least it's peaceful, which is really nice.

He gathered his courage and took two steps forward, only to find a red-stained kitten emerging from the receding blood. It was lying weakly at his feet, its mouth opening and closing constantly, as if it was chirping something.

Zhao Yifu was shocked when he saw this. How could there be a cat in the pool of blood?

No, where did this cat come from?

He was at a loss.

But he could still see that the cat was not in good condition, so he quickly picked it up.

The blood all over his body looked extremely filthy, but he didn't have the time to deal with it right now, so he could only hold it in his arms for the time being.

At this time, under the continuous bombardment of thunder, the blood pool had completely disappeared and slowly shrank into a small corner.

"It finally stopped."

He sighed.

At this time, the calamity clouds above his head dispersed, revealing the figure of Marshal Liu wearing the armor of the God of Thunder.

He said, "Good boy, if you hadn't reported it in time, I'm afraid this thing would have caused trouble again."

Zhao Yifu was curious, but he still greeted politely, "Meet Marshal Liu."

Marshal Liu nodded and smiled, "Well done. Go and have a rest. We'll have a drink when you're free."

Zhao Yifu nodded happily after hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Look, isn’t this relationship about to be established?
After drinking a cup with Marshal Liu, he would take the opportunity to bring up the "agreement" with Marshal Xin. Gradually, he would have his own network of contacts in the Ministry of Thunder.

Although managing interpersonal relationships in this way is what Zhao Yifu dislikes most, he has changed to an unfamiliar environment after all. If he wants to survive well in this new environment, he has to turn on the "socialite mode".
