Chapter 2344 Saint Bloody Shadow
The song was pleasant to the ear, like the sound of nature.
However, Zhang Ruochen could not determine which direction it came from. He only knew that it was getting closer and closer, which made his hair stand on end. However, he could not block his hearing. Once he lost his hearing, it would only give the Bloody Shadowseed a greater opportunity to take advantage of him.
Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind blocked their hearing at once. However, they felt even more tormented when they could not hear anything.
The song contained powerful illusions. Gradually, it affected Zhang Ruochen.
As the song changed, Zhang Ruochen recalled all kinds of scenes in his mind.
There were scenes from his assassination by Chi Yao 800 years ago. Another scene occurred 800 years later when he encountered a white-haired Kong Lanyou in the bamboo forest. When he first saw Chi Yao’s statue, this was the scene. Another scene involved him standing in front of Ziwei Palace. Then there was the scene where he saw Huang Yanchen sever her robe.
Every image and memory hit a weak spot in his heart.
“What a brilliant illusion. It merged with the song and made me lose myself,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual will was so strong that he woke up in an instant. He roared, “Break!”
His voice combined with his 65th level spiritual power and exploded with a powerful force.
The song disappeared. All the images in his mind faded away.
The underground river suddenly became extremely quiet. Only the sound of water flowing could be heard.
‘Has the Bloody Shadowseed retreated? The underground is indeed terrifying. It’s not a place to stay for long,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
“Supreme Saint Ruochen, what’s wrong?” asked Lady Wind.
Lady Wind’s swaying figure walked toward Zhang Ruochen in the Profound Spatial Dimension like a swaying willow. Her eyes showed concern and tenderness. Her gaze seemed to be able to melt everything in the world, including men’s hearts. Zhang Ruochen did not have much psychological fluctuation. Lady Wind only cared about him because of his strength.
Otherwise, even if Zhang Ruochen died here, she would not give him a second look.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where is Lord Bladehell?”
Lady Wind shook her head and said, “I don’t know. He suddenly disappeared. could he have been taken away by the Bloody Shadowseed?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and immediately released his spiritual power to investigate.
But he found nothing.
It shouldn’t be. Even the Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint could escape. How could Lord Bladehell be taken down so easily with his cultivation?
And even if he was taken away, he should have left his presence and traces.
‘Could it be that Lord Bladehell has been completely swallowed by the Bloody Shadowseed?’ Zhang Ruochen thought.
Zhang Ruochen’s face became even more unattractive as a result of that.
Lady Wind’s cultivation wasn’t much higher than Lord Bladehell’s. She was clearly terrified. She showed her frail and delicate appearance. Zhang Ruochen’s arm was grabbed by her slender hands. Her tall and delicate body squeezed into his arms. She said, “We must have encountered the Saint Bloody Shadow of the Bloody Shadowseed. The Saint Bloody Shadow is the scariest. It has already gained wisdom.”
Zhang Ruochen felt the warm and fragrant body of hers in his arms. He lowered his head and glanced at Lady Wind. A flash of doubt appeared in his eyes and said, “You are a candidate for the Scioness and a powerhouse among the Supreme Saints. You should have some courage and bravery. Isn’t it just the Saint Bloody Shadow? Why are you so afraid?”
“Windy is just a girl after all. There will be times when Windy feels afraid and timid. Supreme Saint Ruochen, aren’t you afraid that Windy will get angry at you for making fun of Windy?” said Lady Wind.
Lady Wind raised her snow-white neck. Her eyes were sparkling and full of resentment.
Zhang Ruochen said, “We can’t stay here for long. Let’s leave first.” “But… Windy wants to refine another Bloody Shadowseed. Supreme Saint Ruochen, please help Windy.”
Lady Wind kept calling herself “Windy”. She wasn’t as noble and sacred as before. Instead, she had a gentleness that could seduce a man’s heartstrings.
Fortunately, it was Zhang Ruochen who was standing here. If it were any other man who was still so affectionate after being embraced by Lady Wind, he would have surrendered long ago. Let alone a Bloody Shadowseed, he would do anything for her, including dying for her.
Zhang Ruochen looked at her closely and said, “Refining a Bloody Shadowseed has greatly increased your Blood Qi. Can you bear refining another one?”
“Of course, I can. If you are willing to help, Windy can satisfy you in everything,” said Lady Wind.
Lady Wind smiled and took off her golden mask, revealing an exquisite and flawless face. Her long eyelashes fluttered and her red lips were full of seductive luster, she said charmingly, “I will be your woman sooner or later. I don’t mind giving myself to you sooner.”
She untied her blood-red robe, revealing a crystal-clear snow-white body, as she spoke. Her curves were stunning, more enticing than any other scenery.
At the same time, her fragrant lips moved closer to Zhang Ruochen’s face.
“Do you really think that I’ll fall for that?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression did not change. He reached out a hand and pressed it roughly on Lady Wind’s face. He exerted force on his wrist and crushed her head with a bang, turning it into a cloud of blood mist.
A painful and sharp cry resounded throughout the Profound Spatial Domain.
Lady Wind’s headless body turned into a liquid and turned into a stream of blood that circled around Zhang Ruochen’s body.
The stream of blood flowed to Zhang Ruochen’s head and extended out a woman’s head. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, but her facial features and face could not be seen clearly. She said coldly, “So what if you have seen through me? I will still devour all your blood.”
The blood-red liquid woman’s head was very close to Zhang Ruochen. If she stuck out her tongue, she could lick his face.
However, Zhang Ruochen remained calm and said, “You must be the Saint Bloody Shadow, right? You’re indeed powerful. In the beginning, I was fooled by you and completely fell into your illusion. It’s a pity that you don’t know me well enough. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have lost everything.
“Also, don’t be so arrogant in my Profound Spatial Dimension.”
The stream of blood snorted and contracted violently. Like a blood-red iron chain, it tried to entangle Zhang Ruochen.
At the same time, the liquid head bit Zhang Ruochen’s neck.
“Freeze!” Zhang Ruochen shouted.
The space in the Profound Spatial Dimension froze.
The stream of blood and liquid head became motionless in an instant.
Zhang Ruochen’s body shrank to the size of a thumb. He flew out of the confinement of the stream of blood and became a normal person again.
“Moyin, can you absorb the Bloody Shadowseed?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Master, Moyin is more than willing,” said Moyin.
The Saint Devourer extended from Zhang Ruochen’s back and separated dozens of roots. It pierced into the stream of blood and directly refined and absorbed it.
Obviously, this Bloody Shadowseed was much stronger than the one given to Lady Wind. Zhang Ruochen almost fell into its hands.
Zhang Ruochen certainly didn’t want to give such a powerful Bloody Shadowseed to Lord Bladehell.
“It seems that the Bloody Shadowseed prefers spiritual power attacks. Its physical attacks aren’t strong. Once it’s frozen in space, it can’t break through space and escape.” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen had a certain understanding of the Bloody Shadowseed. This kind of soul-like and liquid-like creature was similar to Ye Changzai of the Ghost. Both were good at hiding, making it impossible to guard against.
However, their weaknesses were also obvious.
Once they were found, they were no longer terrifying
Of course, each Bloody Shadowseed was different. Zhang Ruochen had only encountered two. He could not guarantee that the other Bloody Shadowseeds had the same weakness.
Furthermore, even if the Bloody Shadowseeds had obvious flaws, he would be extremely dangerous if he came into contact with someone with greater spiritual power and illusion attainments.
Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind were still in the area covered by Zhang Ruochen’s Profound Spatial Dimension.
Lord Bladehell looked at the stream of blood being absorbed by Moyin and said, “It was so easy. Did you take down another one?”
“Easy? I almost died at its hands just now. The spiritual power and illusion attacks of the Bloody Shadowseeds are very terrifying. You should be careful. Don’t let your guard down,” Zhang Ruochen said seriously.
Lady Wind asked, “Did you fall into an illusion just now?”
Zhang Ruochen stared at Lady Wind. He couldn’t help but think of the beautiful and seductive scene just now.
He said, “Yes! In the illusion, the Bloody Shadowseed turned into you. It used all kinds of tricks to lure me. I still remember it. Unfortunately, the illusion is just an illusion.”
“Haha!”
Lord Bladehell let out a clear laugh. He only controlled the muscles on his face when he saw the cold eyes of Lady Wind staring at him, he said solemnly, “It was indeed very dangerous. The Bloody Shadowseed could actually choose cultivators’ weaknesses to cause hallucination. It seems that it has very high intelligence. Moreover, it must have heard our previous conversation and thus did so.”
“Your conversation? What did you say?” Lady Wind asked.
Lord Bladehell shrugged and said. “Nothing. Zhang Ruochen didn’t tell me anything. I don’t know anything.”
Lady Wind’s Blood Qi increased significantly after refining and absorbing the Bloody Shadowseed. The power waves from her body were stronger than before. With such strength, she didn’t think she would lose to Lord Lei, who was ranked sixth on the list of Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.
The coldness in Lady Wind’s eyes disappeared. She said softly, “Supreme Saint Ruochen, can you help me capture another Bloody Shadowseed?”
Zhang Ruochen had heard this before in the illusion.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You can refine and absorb it?”
more
“I have to try. The stronger I am, the more helpful I will be in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. Besides, you haven’t forgotten my promise to you, have you? Whether I become a Scioness or not, we are all on the same side.”
There was a charming smile in Lady Wind’s eyes.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen understood what she meant. He thought to himself, ‘So she also thinks that she can use me to work for her with her beauty.’
If it weren’t for the fact that Lady Wind was still valuable, Zhang Ruochen would have slapped her hard in the face with the method he used to deal with the Bloody Shadowseed.
There was no such thing as a free meal in this world. He didn’t want to give anything, but he wanted to take everything. Even Lord Bladehell knew better than her what a deal was.
If he wanted to take something, he had to give something.
