Chapter 275 Blood-Evolving Curved Blade and Void Stone

"this……"

Zhang He looked at Xu Ning with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xu Ning's previous performance had completely convinced Zhang He.

"We can spare his life for now."

Xu Ning said.

If they could truly discover Chu He's weakness, it would allow Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua to temporarily escape danger.

They are now bound by the Force Chains and are facing a life-or-death crisis.

Xu Ning first channeled his Dao Realm power into the Fierce Eagle's body to subdue it.

Throughout the entire process, Lieying offered no resistance whatsoever.

Subsequently, Zhang He used the spatial treasure to allow Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan to emerge.

"Is everything resolved?"

After Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan emerged from the spatial treasure, they saw that Lie Ying, dressed in a gray robe, had already been subdued by Xu Ning.

Both of them had a look of relief on their faces, as if they had survived a disaster.

"The rest of the pursuers have been killed, leaving only this man, who is willing to submit to us."

Zhang He said, "Xu Ning crushed this group of people with overwhelming force."

"A crushing defeat?"

Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan's gazes simultaneously shifted to Xu Ning.

"Brother Zhang is exaggerating a bit."

Xu Ning offered a casual explanation.

Duan Chaofeng smiled, while Mo Lan's gaze swept over Xu Ning, seemingly lost in thought.

"Speak, who are you?"

Xu Ning asked the fierce eagle.

"We are members of the Hermit School."

Fierce Eagle responded truthfully.

"The reclusive sect?"

Xu Ning frowned; he had never heard of this sect before.

At least in Wansheng Prefecture, this sect does not exist.

"So it really is an overseas sect..."

Xu Ning thought to himself.

"The reclusive sect?"

As soon as Lie Ying finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and Mo Lan.

"They're actually from the Hidden Sect."

Zhang He explained to Xu Ning, "This Sanyin Sect is a recently risen overseas sect. This sect has a mysterious origin, and its members often infiltrate Wansheng Prefecture to plunder resources or make arrangements that we cannot understand."

"But overall, this overseas sect is not a positive force and has had many conflicts with the imperial court. The current Hidden Sect is also on the imperial court's list of targets for elimination. If anyone from the Hidden Sect is captured and handed over to the imperial court, they will receive a reward."

"So that's how it is..."

Xu Ning understood and nodded.

"What is the structure of your reclusive sect? How does it operate? And why are you all here?"

At this moment, Zhang He was filled with questions.

Just as Lie Ying was about to answer, Xu Ning interrupted him: "Don't rush to answer those questions. Tell us first, how should we deal with Chu He?"

"Yes, you should say this first!"

Zhang He slapped his forehead, realizing that Dong Ji was in a predicament.

Lie Ying quickly replied, "This Chu He possesses two extremely powerful secret treasures, one of which can conceal his aura. As long as he doesn't actively expose himself, even someone a realm higher than him won't be able to detect him."

"This treasure is mainly for support purposes and doesn't have much direct combat value."

"However, Chu He's other secret treasure is called the Blood-Evolving Curved Blade. This treasure is extremely peculiar; it was bestowed upon Chu He by a high-ranking member of the San Yin Sect."

"When this Blood-Evolving Curved Blade is used in battle, it becomes one with the user. During the battle, it continuously absorbs the user's flesh and blood power and Dao realm power to replenish the Blood-Evolving Curved Blade itself."

"In the end, the user will become the supplier of that Blood-Evolving Scimitar, and with the help of that Blood-Evolving Scimitar, the user can unleash tremendous power."

To save his own life, Lie Ying spoke frankly: "Although Chu He is at the seventh level of the Dao Realm, his strength is not at the top of his level. However, with the Blood-Evolving Curved Blade, he can still hold his own against a peak seventh-level Dao Realm expert."

"However, this Blood-Evolving Curved Blade also has a drawback."

"What I just said is that the Blood-Evolving Curved Blade will become one with the user during use, and that's not an exaggeration. Rather, when the user holds the Blood-Evolving Curved Blade, blood streaks will form between the hilt and the palm."

"If the blood vessels between the hilt and the hand are severed during combat, then to awaken its power again, new Dao Realm power must be drawn upon. By then, the user's flesh and blood will be depleted, unable to continue supporting the use of the Blood-Evolving Curved Blade, and their strength will also weaken."

"In this way, we can take advantage of their weakened state and strike them."

After Lie Ying finished speaking, Xu Ning gained even more knowledge.

"There's such a secret treasure?"

Zhang He and Duan Chaofeng were also hearing about it for the first time.

At this moment, Mo Lan pondered for a moment and then said, "This secret treasure is not unique. Among the members of the Hidden Sect captured by the imperial court before, there were also people who possessed similar secret treasures."

"I heard all of this from Her Majesty the Empress."

Seeing the three looking at him with surprise, Mo Lan added an explanation.

Mo Lan has an excellent relationship with the current empress, a fact that Xu Ning is aware of.

"In other words, if we return immediately and can find a way to sever the connection between the Blood-Derived Curved Blade and Chu He, then Senior Dong and the others will be able to turn the tables and take the initiative."

Zhang He said.

"But how can we get him to release the Bloodstained Scimitar?"

Duan Chaofeng frowned.

He respected Dong Ji very much, so he was genuinely worried about Dong Ji's safety.

"Sneak attack, take him by surprise, and sever his hand."

Mo Lan suggested.

Duan Chaofeng glanced at Mo Lan, his expression displeased.

"A sneak attack on a seventh-level Dao Realm cultivator? How is that possible?"

"If that's possible!"

As he spoke, a pure white stone appeared in Mo Lan's hand.

"The Void Stone!"

Duan Chaofeng also showed a look of surprise.

"The Stone of the Void?"

The moment Mo Lan took out the pure white stone, Xu Ning sensed a sense of familiarity.

The aura emanating from its surface is remarkably similar to the grayish-white power of the void.

This wasn't the first time Xu Ning had seen the Void Stone.

When he was still in Yuanbei, someone used Void Teleportation in front of him when dealing with the outsiders from the Biye Sect.

However, that kind of teleportation did not rely on real void stones, but rather on void sand.

The void sand itself has significant flaws.

If the Void Sand is used, and there is interference from Dao Realm power or other forces nearby, then the Void Teleportation will be unusable.

However, the true Void Stone is different; with its help, one can travel directly through the void, regardless of whether there is any interference.

This ability will also be mastered when Gray White advances to the peak of the Dao Realm.

For this reason, Void Stones are extremely precious items for assassination and survival, and are very rare. Even Duan Chaofeng did not have a Void Stone with him.

At this moment, Mo Lan took out this life-saving item.

Even if her actions were aimed at rescuing Xue Jinghua, this behavior was still quite extravagant.

"With the help of this Void Stone, we can instantly enter the battlefield and, taking them by surprise, sever their wrists."

Mo Lan said.

"How about it? Can you do it?"

Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning and Zhang He.

"Can."

Xu Ning responded.

Xu Ning was fully confident that he could strike the moment he teleported in the void.

Chu He had no chance of reacting at all.

If I can sever his wrist, his strength will decline, and he will be unable to launch a timely counterattack.

"Alright, in that case, let's get started!"

Duan Chaofeng said.

Afterwards, Mo Lan handed the Void Stone to Xu Ning.

……

at this time.

On the sea, the Taoist ship carrying the group had been capsized by the fighting.

Meanwhile, Chu He, Dong Ji, and Xue Jinghua faced off against each other in the void.

"The gray-robed man's treasure is truly bizarre!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua are putting up a difficult fight, on the verge of defeat and death at any moment.

The binding force lock reduces their strength to less than half of their full strength.

"His scimitar treasure seems to have its own life, and it contains an extremely powerful consciousness."

At this moment, Dong Ji realized that Chu He was like a slave to the blood-red scimitar.

The power unleashed from the blood-red scimitar was what they truly could not resist.

"As expected of the experts from the Prince's mansion!"

Chu He's face was pale, but his tone was extremely arrogant: "Even though you're bound by the binding force, it's truly remarkable that you've managed to hold on until now. Once I defeat you, I'll definitely give you a quick and painless victory!"

After saying that, Chu He used his other hand, which was gripping the Blood-Deriving Curved Blade, to stuff a handful of pills into his mouth, which made his complexion look much better.

"Am I really going to die here?"

At this moment, despair was evident on the faces of Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

Now stranded on the endless sea, they are isolated and helpless, with absolutely no chance of survival.

"I wonder if the young master has escaped the pursuers..."

At this moment, Dong Ji was still thinking about Duan Chaofeng.

Xue Jinghua was also worried about Mo Lan's safety.

However, at that moment, a cry rang out.

Duan Chaofeng and his group, who had been being chased, returned on colorful flying birds. Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and Mo Lan were on board, but Xu Ning was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Highness!"

"Princess!"

"Why did you come back?"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were anxious.

Coming back like this is like walking into a trap.

Chu He laughed loudly, "I guess my men caught up with you and you had nowhere to run, so you had no choice but to come back and ask for your help! That's fine, I can take care of you all by myself!"

Chu He was incredibly excited, and his fighting spirit intensified.

He launched an even more frenzied attack against Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

This left Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua completely overwhelmed.

However, at this very moment...

A spatial rift suddenly appeared from Chu He's side.

Xu Ning's figure appeared instantly from the spatial rift.

Swish!

Xu Ning activated the Azure Wolf Will within the Azure Wolf Blade, frantically pouring in Dao Realm power.

He slashed down with his sword!

Before Chu He could react, his hand holding the Blood-Deriving Curved Blade was instantly severed.

Thank you to Brother Wu Liushang and Brother YooAh for the generous donations!
