Chapter 95 - 94: Celestial Blood Eye
While there were people in the Jianghu who cultivated two Cultivation Techniques with completely different Attributes, they were few and far between.
If one failed to properly manage the balance, it was easy for their Yin and Yang to fall out of sync, leading to cultivation deviation.
This was especially true for the Cultivation Techniques of the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Dao, which were as incompatible as fire and water.
But Chen Yuan had no such worries.
The Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon Secret Manual was incredibly strange, capable of converting Demonic Buddha Power, completely eliminating any concern of a conflict between the two.
"Compared to Gu Hongyuan, your strength is indeed far superior."
When Chen Yuan fought Gu Hongyuan before, she had also used this Silk Blood Net.
However, the power Feng Xieyun unleashed was several times greater than Gu Hongyuan’s.
"How could that piece of trash possibly compare to me?"
Feng Xieyun snorted coldly. With a flash, his body transformed into a blood-colored shadow and shot straight toward Chen Yuan.
Halfway there, this blood shadow instantly split into four, each one condensing a Blood Sword to stab at Chen Yuan.
These weren’t clones, but avatars condensed by Feng Xieyun using the Blood God Sect’s Secret Technique, Blood Shadow Escape.
The four figures were incredibly fast, but three of them were merely avatars. They reached Chen Yuan in the blink of an eye.
He was fast, but Chen Yuan was faster.
The power of the Fish Dragon Transformation erupted. A formidable True Qi Power was suddenly compressed, and Chen Yuan effortlessly dodged Feng Xieyun’s four-pronged sword attack in an instant.
With a backhand strike, he brought down the Great Celestial Demon Seal. As the Demon Sound vibrated through the air, three of the blood shadows wavered.
Then, a massive wave of Demonic Qi erupted, exposing Feng Xieyun’s true form.
The cry of a saber instantly resounded through the heavens and the earth. Feng Xieyun’s expression changed dramatically. He executed his Blood Shadow Escape, transforming into a blood shadow and retreating rapidly.
The moment he dodged, Chen Yuan’s Shocking Swan Slash descended, grazing past his body. The Saber Qi collided with his protective Blood Qi, producing a deafening boom of True Qi.
’What a fast slash!’
A look of horror appeared in Feng Xieyun’s eyes.
For years, the Blood God Sect had hidden in the shadows. Whenever someone discovered their true identity, they would kill them at all costs.
Therefore, Feng Xieyun had experienced countless life-and-death battles over the years, fighting against young prodigies from Major Sects and renowned Loose Cultivator masters of the Jianghu.
But none had been as difficult to deal with, as impregnable, as Chen Yuan!
Whether it was power, speed, or mastery of Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts, Feng Xieyun could find no flaw in Chen Yuan.
Feng Xieyun didn’t know how many people from Zhenwu Hall had come, but the longer he delayed, the greater the risk.
Forming a Seal Technique with his hands, the Blood Qi around Feng Xieyun suddenly began to boil violently.
A bloody light shot into the sky, its color so red it was almost purple. Even Feng Xieyun’s eyes were tinged with a deep crimson.
Blood Secret Technique, Purple Blood Technique!
Uncle Kou, who was currently locked in battle with Wu Bingjian and the other two, looked toward Feng Xieyun in horror.
’The Young Master was forced to use the Purple Blood Technique so soon?’
Among the various Secret Techniques of the Blood God Sect, the Purple Blood Technique was one of the most powerful, capable of pushing one’s Qi and Blood Power to its absolute limit.
However, this Secret Technique was extremely damaging to the body, requiring a large amount of Qi Blood to recover afterward.
Even when Feng Xieyun had fought Du Tianfeng of the Condensing Truth Realm, he hadn’t used the Purple Blood Technique this quickly.
Empowered by the Purple Blood Technique, the aura of power around Feng Xieyun surged instantly.
The immense purple Blood Qi around him condensed, forming numerous blood-colored Long Swords that circled his body.
With a flash of a blood shadow, countless sword images stabbed at Chen Yuan from all directions!
Wu Bingjian and the other two were also horrified when they saw this.
Now they understood why Lord Du Tianfeng had been so severely injured by this Feng Xieyun.
An ordinary Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist, no matter how strong their True Qi Power, could only project it one to three zhang from their body. Any further and the True Qi Power would easily dissipate.
Only upon reaching the Condensing Truth Realm, after converting True Qi into True Essence, could one use True Essence Power to maintain a solidified projection of energy over a distance.
And yet, every one of the densely packed Blood Swords that Feng Xieyun had just condensed was incredibly solid. What profound reserves of power were needed to achieve this?
In the next moment, an even more powerful Blood Fiend Qi erupted from Chen Yuan’s body.
As the Killing Intent Origin entered his body, the dense Blood Fiend Qi around Chen Yuan was so thick it almost solidified.
A single slash descended, intertwining endless Blood Fiend Qi with surging Demonic Qi.
Blood Demon Devouring the Sun, annihilating the long sky!
Black and red light intertwined in mid-air, tearing apart the dense swarm of Blood Swords.
Feng Xieyun stared at Chen Yuan in disbelief. But in the next instant, the Blood Qi around him boiled once more as he pushed the Purple Blood Technique to an even greater limit.
The torn Blood Swords reformed into a dense web of blood threads that coiled around Chen Yuan’s Cyan Dragon Blood Drink, spreading rapidly toward his arm.
The Blood Fiend Qi erupted, its tyrannical power tearing the blood threads apart. However, fueled by Feng Xieyun’s reckless expenditure of Blood Qi, they continued to surge toward Chen Yuan, one wave after another.
Letting go of his saber, Chen Yuan pointed a finger forward. Nine Heavens Descent, the Profound Celestial Finger Strength erupted with a bang.
In an instant, countless blood threads shattered, and Feng Xieyun was sent flying backward.
But Feng Xieyun used the force of the impact to transform into a purple blood shadow and charge down the mountain.
"Uncle Kou! Escape in the other direction!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Feng Xieyun vanished.
Chen Yuan turned his head to Wu Bingjian and the other two. "Keep him busy!"
After speaking, Chen Yuan retracted his Blood Fiend Qi, suppressed his Qi Blood, and used the Fish Dragon Transformation to burst forward at extreme speed in pursuit of Feng Xieyun.
The Blood God Sect’s Blood Shadow Escape was extremely fast. Chen Yuan could only vaguely make out a blood shadow fleeing ahead.
At the base of Yanhui Mountain, the White Tiger Guards of Zhenwu Hall had set up a blockade. A Guard had just spotted a blood shadow descending from the mountain when, before he could even react, the shadow slammed into him, blasting him into a pile of mangled flesh!
Seeing this, the other White Tiger Guards stopped in their tracks, horrified.
Chen Yuan followed closely behind, frowning slightly.
’It’s a good thing I didn’t let these White Tiger Guards come up the mountain with me. They would have all been fodder.’
The Fish Dragon Transformation was not a Lightweight Skill, but its unique Attribute allowed Chen Yuan to unleash a speed that was no slower than the Blood Shadow Escape.
Although the True Qi consumption was enormous, Chen Yuan’s profound foundation could easily sustain it.
Especially after stepping into the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, the True Qi within his Reincarnation Sea was endless. Even if he used the Fish Dragon Transformation for long-distance travel, Chen Yuan could maintain it for a very long time.
However, Feng Xieyun, fleeing up ahead, was beginning to falter.
The Purple Blood Technique consumed a huge amount of power, and the Blood Shadow Escape also drained a large amount of Qi Blood.
After fleeing for more than ten li, Feng Xieyun stopped and spun around abruptly.
"How much is Zhenwu Hall paying you to risk your life like this? With your strength, you could join any Sect and immediately become a Direct Lineage Disciple."
Chen Yuan looked at Feng Xieyun with a half-smile. "What, are you trying to persuade me to join the Blood God Sect?"
Feng Xieyun shook his head. "Of course not. The Blood God Sect is reviled by everyone in the Jianghu. I wouldn’t have joined myself if I hadn’t been forced to."
"Do you think I enjoy living like a rat hiding in the sewers? If I had the chance, I’d naturally want to join a top-tier Major Sect like the Blazing Sect or the Forgotten Heaven Pavilion!"
"Zhenwu Hall promotes based on merit. Without merit, you can’t advance to a high position, no matter how talented you are. It’s still following the old ways of the Seven Alliances of the World."
"Even if you kill me, you won’t be promoted directly to Inspector."
"So you might as well let me go. I can tell you the locations of the other Blood God Sect Saint Heirs, their weaknesses, and more."
"Trading one Blood God Sect Saint Heir for several. What do you say to that deal?"
"Tsk, tsk. These are all the prodigies of your Blood God Sect, and you’d sell them out just like that?"
Feng Xieyun sneered. "Those who aspire to greatness don’t sweat the small stuff. They’re my competitors anyway. If they don’t die by your hand, I’ll have to kill them in the future. It’s better to let their deaths have some value now."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "Your proposal is certainly tempting, but unfortunately, I’m not interested in the other Blood God Saint Heirs. I’m only interested in you."
’Killing the other Blood God Saint Heirs would be time-consuming and difficult, and all I’d get is some merit points.’
’But if I kill Feng Xieyun, he has the original version of the Blood God Sect’s Blood Spirit Scripture. That’s what I truly want.’
"You’re courting death!"
A flash of Evil Qi appeared in Feng Xieyun’s eyes.
He didn’t want a life-or-death struggle with Chen Yuan, which was why he had proposed a deal.
But he never expected Chen Yuan to be so ungrateful, forcing him to play his trump card!
The Purple Blood Technique was activated once more. Endless Blood Qi erupted from Feng Xieyun’s body as he transformed into a streak of light and charged at Chen Yuan.
The moment Feng Xieyun came within three zhang of Chen Yuan, he abruptly pointed his index finger at his own Forehead Ancestral Acupoint, and a large stream of purple Blood Qi poured into it.
In that instant, the red mark on his forehead split open, revealing a blinding, bloody light from within.
The next moment, that bloody light erupted, piercing toward Chen Yuan with ultimate power!
Blood Secret Technique, Celestial Blood Eye!
This Secret Technique was not from the current Blood God Sect’s arts, but a Secret Technique recorded in the original version of the Blood Spirit Scripture.
It involved opening a blood pupil in the Forehead Ancestral Acupoint, which required constantly compressing Blood Qi into it to nourish the Blood Pupil Power.
Furthermore, one had to constantly endure the pressure from the blood pupil. A single misstep could trigger a backlash, and the immense Blood Qi within would instantly blow one’s head apart like a smashed watermelon.
Activating it required mobilizing all the Blood Qi in one’s body as a power source to stimulate the Blood Pupil Power, an incredibly draining process.
Feng Xieyun had used this very move to catch Du Tianfeng off guard, severely injuring him.
The moment Feng Xieyun made his move, Chen Yuan was already on guard.
In a flash, the Killing Intent Origin entered his body, and endless Blood Fiend Qi condensed in mid-air.
The Blood Killing Heaven-Seizing Hand came crashing down. A killing calamity descended, annihilating all things!
The power of the Celestial Blood Eye collided with the Blood Killing Heaven-Seizing Hand. The two forces intertwined and clashed in mid-air, causing a massive explosion of True Qi. Earth and stone flew everywhere within a radius of several zhang, creating a scene of utter chaos.
After both Feng Xieyun and Chen Yuan played their trump cards, the destructive power they unleashed had nearly reached the limit of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
Feng Xieyun’s face was now as pale as paper, but he still gathered his last shred of Qi Blood to condense a slender blood thread in his hand, preparing to deliver a finishing blow to Chen Yuan.
In his view, under the power of the Celestial Blood Eye, Chen Yuan would be crippled, if not dead.
’Even Du Tianfeng couldn’t withstand this attack, so Chen Yuan naturally can’t either.’
But before Feng Xieyun could locate Chen Yuan amidst the violent blast wave, a flash of Shocking Swan Saber Light abruptly appeared before him.
With his Qi Blood almost completely depleted, Feng Xieyun could no longer dodge. He subconsciously raised the blood thread, but the saber light had already flashed past his eyes.
In an instant, a head fell to the ground, and the blood thread dissipated.
The headless corpse fell, but strangely, no blood flowed out—only a small amount of viscous, dark purple fluid.
Chen Yuan’s face was also slightly pale. He immediately suppressed the raging Blood Fiend Qi in his body and began to search Feng Xieyun’s corpse.
Aside from some miscellaneous Elixirs, Chen Yuan finally found an ancient, blood-colored Jade Pendant.
This was the Spiritual Jade that recorded the original version of the Blood Spirit Scripture!
