Chapter 181. By an odd twist (Long Chapter) | Reverend Insanity

"Lady Tie, what do you mean?" Fang Zheng did not understand.Tie Ruo Nan stretched out her finger, pointing at the wall, "Look at him, Gu Yue Fang Yuan! Don't you think he looks way too calm? When finding out that he has C grade talent, while his blood related brother has A grade talent, normal people would definitely have some reaction to it. But him? Not a trace of emotion! The surrounding praises and mockery cannot move his heart. Don't you find this strange? Throughout the process, he is too calm."Tie Ruo Nan's words, attracted everyone's gaze.As this scene replayed, all the gazes on the wall landed on Fang Yuan's silhouette.Fang Yuan stood among the crowd, standing alone, upright. A dark shadow engulfed half his body.And this scenario, was a huge contrast to the other side.His own brother, Gu Yue Fang Zheng, was moving step by step, his body bathed in the Hope Gu's pure white light.At this moment, the elder and younger brother had a swap of identities. The former fell from grace, falling to the lowest point in his life, engulfed by shadows. The latter being blessed by fate, shining in brilliance, climbing his way to the top."A fifteen year old youngster, going through such a catastrophic change in his life. But yet, on his body there is no trace of disappointment, perplexity or jealousy. Only calmness, he stood among the crowd, silently watching like he was an outsider, like he was watching a show," Tie Ruo Nan's voice came appropriately.Yes.Fang Yuan watched silently.As the shadows engulfed half his body, his face was expressionless, except the pale colour of a youngster's skin.Gu Yue Bo stared at the wall, solemn.Fang Zheng felt a strong chill emerging from deep within his body.Brother, what in the world are you..."Even if he had a prediction towards the Awakening Ceremony's results, his heart would definitely feel a change in emotions, and he definitely won't be as calm as this. I used the Cactus Pointer earlier, and always thought that the word 'aptitude' was referring to Gu Yue Chi Cheng. But now that I think about it, it might not refer to Chi Cheng, but most likely Fang Yuan!" Tie Ruo Nan said."Lady Tie, what do you mean? I don't understand it at all?" Fang Zheng was more confused.Tie Ruo Nan raised a finger. "Only one type of situation would cause Fang Yuan to be so calm. That is, he has a trump card that no one knows. Only one situation would cause him to not be jealous, and that is because he has something greater. If two people walked together and one person finds a primeval stone, only if the other finds ten or a hundred would they not be jealous, and have a calm emotion. Fang Yuan is like that.""You are saying, Fang Yuan cheated and concealed his true aptitude? He is not a C grade talent?" Gu Yue Bo understood Tie Ruo Nan's words, "But if he is A or B grade, why would he not display it outright?""Fang Yuan had great wisdom since young!" Tie Ruo Nan's lips curled, her expression confident as she radiated utter confidence. "These few days, I've read some of his poems. With such visions and aspirations, even father was full of praise for him. Such a genius, he naturally has his own schemes."Gu Yue Bo shook his head, "Just with this alone, it still doesn't confirm anything. Concealing aptitude and revealing his aptitude gives two completely different treatment. Even if Fang Yuan didn't know this, after a year in the academy, he should be clear of it.""Of course he knew, that's why he did not dare to reveal it." Tie Ruo Nan did not beat about the bush, saying confidently."What do you mean?" Gu Yue Bo was also lost now."Gu Yue clan leader." Tie Ruo Nan turned around, looking at Gu Yue Bo solemnly. "Do you know about Ren Zu's ten children?"Gu Yue Bo was first stunned, before he immediately reacted, understanding Tie Ruo Nan's true meaning.HE WAS SHOCKED!His iris expanded, his mouth agape, not having any of his clan leader disposition.This was the first time Fang Zheng saw Gu Yue Bo in such a state.Ren Zu's ten children, eldest son Verdant Great Sun, second daughter Desolate Ancient Moon… the ten children's aptitude defied heaven, thus heaven was wary and did not give them a long lifespan. In the Gu world, the ten children also represented the top ten most extreme aptitudes!That is — the ten extreme physiques!"Ren Zu's ten children died one by one, and Ren Zu was about to die of old age. But at the end, Ren Zu gathered the corpse of his ten children and sacrificed himself, all going into the stomach of the Derivation Gu. Derivation Gu's stomach burst, exploding and countless life spreading across the land, creating the first batch of mortals. These mortals did not have Ren Zu or the ten children's talent, but they could cultivate after awakening their aperture. Humanity thus grew and developed, forming today's size. Of course, that is all a mythological story.""But according to the story, every one of us has Ren Zu and his ten children's bloodline in us!" Tie Ruo Nan continued, "The only thing is that most people have diluted bloodlines, or due to intermarriage, restricted each other and caused it to remain dormant. But some people when born have stronger bloodlines, and as they aged or cultivated, they would start going towards the extreme, with one bloodline dominating the rest. When it appears, that is the ten extreme physiques!""What is this ten extreme physique?" Fang Zheng asked."Don't tell me, Fang Yuan has one of the ten extreme aptitudes?!" Gu Yue Bo was stunned."Very likely so! Only the ten extreme physique would cause Fang Yuan to be so calm, and does not have much need for cultivation resources. And only the ten extreme physique that dominates the A grade talent can cause Fang Yuan to not have a hint of jealousy or envy, and only the ten extreme physique can cause Fang Yuan to not reveal his aptitude, as he fears being killed earlier, thus choosing to conceal the truth!" Tie Ruo Nan spoke quickly.Even Tie Xue Leng would not think of rebirth. Not to mention the young girl. Under all sorts of coincidences, she managed to conjecture a conclusion that was completely the opposite of the truth.Hearing so, everyone was dumbfounded.Tie Ruo Nan's analysis had proof and evidence, causing others to believe it. If not for this reason, what other explanation is there?"Yes, yes! The ten extreme physiques, ten extreme physiques… It has to be the Ancient Moon Desolate Yin physique!"Gu Yue Bo's heart was in turmoil, so excited that his body shuddered.Others might not know this, but he had the clan's secret history and knew many ancient secrets.Hundreds of years ago, the first generation ancestor established the village at this spot and named it Gu Yue village. The truth is, the first Gen was not named Gu Yue at all!Why did he pick the name 'Gu Yue'? It was a mystery.But before Gen 1 died, he once sighed, "The bloodlines shall be passed down, there will be a great plan of centuries, Ancient Moon Desolate Yin, the world shall shudder!"He left behind those parting words, and in his will, it predicted that the Gu Yue clan would one day in the future produce a Gu Master with one of the ten extreme aptitudes, the Ancient Moon Desolate Yin body! He would cause the world to tremble and bring the Gu Yue clan towards a new golden age! He also mentioned to his descendants that if one day such a physique appeared, they had to be brought into the blood pond graveyard.As the clan leader, Gu Yue Bo knew the weakness of the ten extreme physiques, but he had studied this will deeply, and found that the first generation ancestor seemed to know a method to curb this weakness. And this method was kept in his coffin in the graveyard, in an eternal slumber with him.If the Ancient Moon Desolate Yin physique really appeared, bring him to the coffin..."To think that Gu Yue Fang Yuan is that prophesied genius — the Ancient Moon Desolate Yin physique!" Gu Yue Bo screamed in his heart."This cannot be. Under everyone's watchful eye, how can big brother cheat under everyone's gaze?" Fang Zheng was completely taken aback, shaking his head, unable to accept this theory.Tie Ruo Nan looked at him in pity. "If even Chi Cheng could cheat, why couldn't Fang Yuan? The ten extreme physiques have endless potential, unlimited possibilities. Maybe Fang Yuan awakened early, and maybe he deceived the bamboo gentleman, due to the ten extreme physique. Or maybe Jia Jin Sheng was killed by Fang Yuan, because he found out this secret of Fang Yuan's.""Tie family young lady, speak with caution." Gu Yue Bo's expression was unhappy, speaking in a low tone, "Words cannot be spoken mindlessly. Whether Jia Jin Sheng is killed by Fang Yuan, that is not confirmed yet. Fang Yuan is my clan's member, and even if he did commit the act, how we are going to answer to the Jia family is also our matter. You are only here to investigate the case."Gu Yue clan leader's attitude had changed 180 degrees.Before, he had thought Fang Yuan was a C grade talent with no possibility of investment. But now, Fang Yuan was the Ancient Moon Desolate Yin physique?!Once it involved the first gen's prophecy and will, his value completely changed.He had to be protected, and even if the Jia family was offended, there will be no regret!"Oh crap. This Gu Yue clan leader just turned on his words. How shameless is he, changing his attitude so quickly! I should not have revealed the truth of the ten extreme physiques so soon. The ten extreme aptitudes rule over the A grade talent, so it seems the Gu Yue clan leader wants to protect Fang Yuan now. This will bring great obstruction to solving the case. What do I do now, father?"Tie Ruo Nan's heart sank, and gritting her teeth, she subconsciously looked for her father's figure."Eh, where's father?" The young girl was stunned.Divine investigator Tie was still around earlier, but in the blink of an eye he was gone.This discovery caused Gu Yue Bo to tense up.Where could Tie Xue Leng have gone at this time? Gu Yue clan leader naturally related it to Fang Yuan."Fang Zheng, I am going to look for your big brother. Go inform the other clan elders, and quickly assemble to look for me!" Leaving behind his instructions, Gu Yue Bo activated his Gu worm and flew out from the window.Tie Ruo Nan snorted, running out of the room towards Fang Yuan's residence.In the entire hall, only Fang Zheng was left."How… how can this be?!"Fang Zheng's current state was not optimistic. His face was pale, his body on the verge of falling over, his spine devoid of all strength.He felt that his world was covered in darkness.He felt his world collapsing!How could it become like this?"Brother's aptitude is the ten extreme physique? My A grade talent is nothing compared to him, a complete failure compared to him!"As he thought and thought, Fang Zheng's tears fell down.At this moment, all of his spirit was dampened.All this time, his greatest achievement was beating Fang Yuan in aptitude. All his confidence was built upon this. But right now, he was told this cruel fact — his aptitude was nothing compared to his brother!His proudest and most confident area had been suppressed by Fang Yuan.The confidence he had built up after so long, collapsed in an instant."BIG BROTHER!" He raised his head, allowing his tears to flow like a river.He screamed in his heart, "From start to end, you've been watching a show all along! Seeing me jump up and down, looking at my clown-like performance?"The corners of his eye looked at the wall again.The images turned and moved, and people moved all over the place with countless voices praising Fang Zheng's performance. However, Fang Yuan alone stood among the people, his face calm as he watched.Peacefully watching just like that...Fang Zheng suddenly felt that in this image, he who was covered in this light of hope, was so childish, so eye-piercing. In his heart, Fang Yuan's calm dark irises showed a divine expression.His image was gradually enlarged, getting taller and taller until he was unable to climb over, as high as a mountain reaching into the clouds.Those calm eyes looked at him from that mountain high up in the sky, staring at Fang Zheng's pathetic appearance who was at the foot of the mountain.Those eyes were like they were saying — Fang Zheng, my laughable little brother, you won't do, you won't do, won't do…Like the echoes in a valley, reverbing in Fang Zheng's heart.He felt a strong depression.Unimaginable depression, suppressing him until he could not breathe properly.He thought he had gotten rid of this feeling, but to think that that today this feeling assaulted his heart again.In fact, it was more intense than before by a hundred times!"AHHHHHH! I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Fang Zheng's face twitched, veins popping on his forehead. He was drowning in his delusions, gripping his own throat tightly.With a plop, he fell onto the ground kneeling.Because he lacked oxygen, his face went red and his tongue stretched out, his eyes gradually popping out."No! I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!!" His other hand grabbed the tile on the ground, but as he used too much strength, even his nails broke and blood bled. The intense pain increased Fang Zheng's desire to live!His body had no injuries, but in his heart, he had received a fatal injury.He could not get up, for the pride sustaining him had already shattered.He felt that he did not have the face to see anyone; he was unable to face up to reality, to his older brother. He had become a huge joke, an ironic clown.He was heart was like dying ash, but this ash still had small embers burning."So what if he is the ten extreme aptitude? Brother, you did something wrong. You killed someone, you should not have done so! Right, that's right! You have to pay for your sins of murdering, big brother, Jia Jin Sheng was killed by you right? You walked on the wrong path, you did something wrong, so what if your aptitude is better than me?!"Ring...Something seemed to have sounded off near his ear.A lump of fire started to burn in Fang Zheng's heart.The dying ember resurrected!The hand gripping his throat, gradually let go.Fang Zheng's body was covered in sweat as he kneeled on the ground, one hand sustaining himself as the hand was full of injuries from grabbing the tile.Droplets of sweat flowed down his face and nose, and onto the file.His distorted horrifying face had gradually calmed down.A gust of wind blew along the door and windows, into this hall.The cold wind of the night sky stimulated his body as he shuddered."HEHEHEHEHEHEHE…" Fang Zheng half laid on the ground as he laughed, his voice shrill and eerie.The light of the fire danced around his face along with the wind. As it shone on the young man's face, it was not of warmth and brightness, but it resembled the devil's dance.

Chapter 182. Blood pond graveyard | Reverend Insanity

"There's no one here!" Turning the house upside down, Gu Yue Bo did not find Fang Yuan anywhere. A huge rock weighed on his heart. With Fang Yuan and Tie Xue Leng's sudden disappearance, it easily caused him to relate them together."Speak, where is Fang Yuan?" Gu Yue Bo's face was grim like water, as he screamed at Tie Ruo Nan who just arrived."How would I know where Fang Yuan is?" Tie Ruo Nan's attitude was tough. Even against a Rank four expert, she did not relent."Hmph, why did Tie Xue Leng go missing? Tie family's young lady, can you give me an explanation?" Gu Yue Bo said as he got closer to Tie Ruo Nan.The young girl's expression was slightly stunned. The truth was, this matter had been very peculiar from the start.The original plan was that her father and her would come here next year. Back then, Tie Xue Leng was solving another case when a white crane suddenly descended from the sky.The white crane carried a letter, and passed it to Tie Xue Leng.After seeing this letter, Tie Xue Leng changed his plans and put down the case at hand, heading immediately towards Qing Mao mountain.If not for the letter, the Tie family father and daughter would not have gotten here so early.As his daughter, Tie Ruo Nan knew her father well. Normally, only exceptional cases would cause Tie Xue Leng to make such a decision.But, what caused her to not understand was that this Qing Mao mountain case was only about Jia Jin Sheng's death.Although Jia Jin Sheng's death involved the asset struggle of the Jia family, its severity level was merely average, and was far below the point where the divine investigator has to put so much emphasis on.Towards this, Tie Ruo Nan was always doubtful.And now, Tie Xue Leng mysteriously disappeared, not even telling his own daughter.Where did he go? What did he do?"Father, you have an injury, please take care of your body." Tie Ruo Nan was worried.This situation had happened several times before. Every time, it was when Tie Xue Leng was fighting against a strong foe and could not distract himself to protect Tie Ruo Nan, thus choosing to battle alone.His injuries right now were caused by a strong foe under such circumstances previously."Although father is injured, he is after all a Rank five expert. Ordinary Rank four Gu Masters are not his match. Father, I believe in you, I will wait for you to return!" Tie Ruo Nan's eyes shone with light as she encouraged herself.Gu Yue Bo got closer as the young girl raised her head, staring right at the Gu Yue clan leader. "Explanation? You want an explanation, but does it mean I need to give you one?"Gu Yue Bo's face grew even grimmer as he said, "Little wretch, you sure talk tough, it seems I can only take you captive and use you to exchange for our clan's Fang Yuan!""Hehehe." Tie Ruo Nan laughed instead. "Gu Yue clan leader, would you really dare to do such a thing? My uncle is the current Tie clan leader, do you want to cross swords with my Tie family?"Gu Yue Bo stopped in his tracks.He was anxious and almost forgot.Tie family!It was but a super clan, having thousands of years of legacy, standing strong even today. Standing tall in the Tie clan mountain fort was the Demon Suppression Tower, imprisoning countless demonic Gu Masters, the symbol of the righteous faction.Gu Yue clan was only a slightly average clan, and was smaller than Jia clan. But Jia clan was also merely a young clan, unable to compare with the Tie clan.Even in the entire Southern border, the Tie clan is a first class powerhouse, a large clan with strong foundations!Tie Ruo Nan's words softened. "Gu Yue clan leader, I am not here to be enemies with you. But please believe in my sincerity. I do not know where father went, but I will not leave or secretly run away. The Tie family only dies in battle, there are no cowards that run from battle. Not only will I stay here, I will also arrest the criminal that killed Jia Jin Sheng!""Fang Yuan might not be the murderer!" Gu Yue Bo frowned, showing a fierce expression."But he might be!" Tie Ruo Nan stared, her heroism overflowing; at this point she was refusing to relent.Both sides stared for a long time.Tie Ruo Nan continued, "Fang Yuan went missing, so it is very likely that he is escaping for his crimes, thus he has greater suspicion. But I will definitely not malign an innocent party!""Hmph, I hope so." Gu Yue Bo swung his sleeve and left.Fifteen minutes later….Gurgle gurgle.The spirit spring's whirlpool moved violently as a lotus image flickered above the spring water like an image.Pieces of primeval stones were thrown in by Fang Yuan, causing the appearance of the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus to become clearer."Earlier at the classmate gathering, they gave me around ten thousand primeval stones. Together with Gu Yue Mo Chen's forty thousand, I've already thrown them all in. Why is it that this Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus still hasn't shown its true body?"Fang Yuan stared intently through the crystal walls, glaring at the center of the spirit spring, feeling uncertain.The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus was very precious. After continuous advancing and reaching Rank six, its value would be no less than the Spring Autumn Cicada.Even in his previous life, Fang Yuan had only heard of it, and never interacted with it.Thus right now, it was his first time seeing one, and so he was slightly unsure.But he soon calmed himself, laughing, "Around fifty thousand primeval stones, it's more than enough. Why am I worrying over nothing here? So what if the refinement fails? Hehehe."Thinking so, he no longer hesitated. Taking in a deep breath, he jumped up, knocking onto the crystal wall.This wall was formed by the Moat Gu.When Fang Yuan knocked onto it, it was like jumping into the water. There was a ripple in the walls as he was instantly swallowed up.Water surrounded Fang Yuan from all directions.Fang Yuan opened his eyes, but he could not see the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus.The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus could only be seen through the water crystal walls before extraction.Fang Yuan knew this well, and was not surprised. He had already estimated the distance, and even accounted for the refraction of the light due to the water, and grabbed according to his memory.This grab, was like grabbing out of thin air, conjuring a lotus.The lotus was blue and white, its petals closed, looking like a lamp filled with a holy aura. But it had its own consciousness, and even though it was grabbed by Fang Yuan, it resisted.But that was nothing!Just by leaking a little of the Spring Autumn Cicada's aura, this Rank three flower Gu was instantly refined.Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus obtained!In the spring water, Fang Yuan's lips curled into a smile.He willed, and the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus turned into a white blue light, shooting into his aperture.Without the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, the numerous whirlpools in the spirit spring vanished. The spring water that was filled with vitality turned into a puddle of still water without any signs of life."The spirit spring is no more. This place is no longer safe, I have to leave as soon as possible." Fang Yuan's expression turned serious, and just as he was about to leave, something suddenly happened!Deep in the spirit spring, a blinding blood colored light shot out.A large suction force suddenly appeared. Caught off guard, Fang Yuan was sucked deep into the water.The spring water turned red, becoming blood water, wrapping around Fang Yuan completely, dragging him down.Sky Canopy Gu! Thunderwings Gu!In the moment of crisis, Fang Yuan screamed in his heart and a white armor appeared on his body. At the same time, a pair of large lightning wings appeared behind his back.Thunderwings spread, giving Fang Yuan an upward force. But the blood water came endlessly, and its suction force became greater and greater; there was no way to oppose it.Puff...Hearing the water all around him, Fang Yuan was dragged by the currents, along the tunnel, heading straight down.Just when his breath was used up, the surrounding pressure vanished.Fang Yuan took a deep breath. At least he did not die of suffocation, but he found that he was falling from a high spot.He subconsciously activated his wings, but the Thunderwings Gu was in bad shape.The originally strong wings, were tired and soft.Fang Yuan's heart sank. He tried his best to maintain his balance in the air, slowing his descent.This was an area underground. It was not dark, but filled with red light. Fang Yuan was falling from about fifteen metres, and below him, was a pond.But this underground pond was not of the transparent colour; it was red, like blood water.No, it IS blood water!The piercing blood stench assaulted Fang Yuan as he continued to fall.This situation was weird no matter how he looked at it, so for safety, Fang Yuan did not want to land in this bloody pond.Chainsaw Golden Centipede!He activated the Chainsaw Golden Centipede, his palm entering the centipede's mouth and swinging it like a whip.The golden centipede's body stretched to the longest, and its tail stabbed into the mountain wall at the side.Fang Yuan willed with his mind, and the golden centipede's body constricted. This way, it brought his body to the side of the mountain wall.These walls were slippery and did not have a good landing spot. But as Fang Yuan relied on the Chainsaw Golden Centipede, he managed to find an uneven area and placed his feet above."Where the fuck is this?" Stabilizing his body, Fang Yuan immediately observed the surroundings.According to his estimations, this should be in a place deeper underground, even below the underground cave."How can there be such a place?" Fang Yuan was shocked. In his previous life, he was not strong enough to learn about the secrets of the higher-ups.The truth is, this was the blood pond graveyard, the forbidden grounds that buried the first generation's coffin. Even among clan elders, only one or two knew this secret.Fang Yuan looked down. This blood pond shone with a bloody radiance. Its circumference was even larger than the village, emitting an eerie and scary aura.At the top of the cave, there was up to a hundred holes that had water gushing down, bringing the shells, turtles, snakes and fish from the river with it.Swoosh swoosh…Streams of water continued to pour down from the holes, entering into the blood pond.The blood water was turbulent as numerous seafood moved around, entering the pond. However, in a few breaths, all the blood in their bodies were sucked out. They turned into dry corpses and floated on the surface of the water, appearing and disappearing as the waves moved them about.The blood pond's redness only intensified.As Fang Yuan looked on, his iris shrunk a little. If he had landed in this pond, even with the Sky Canopy Gu's protection, he would not be in good shape.He continued to observe, and other than fresh dry corpses, there were also some bones in the water.Some were fish bones, bear bones, and even human skeletons.This was a giant burial ground; it was creepy, and bloody.The ripples and waves in the blood pond raged on and swept into the surrounding walls, the bright red and glowing blood water entering the surrounding soil. This caused the soil to all turn into a bright red color, turning into red soil.

"Wait a second, red soil?"Fang Yuan's mind jolted at the sight.He stretched his hand out and grabbed the wall beside him, taking out a lump of red soil.This red soil was very soft and emitted a faint red light. Fang Yuan merely pressed it lightly, but it crumbled down."So, it was like this." He seemed to have come to a realization.The first time he had entered the secret cave inside the rock crack, he saw that the secret cave was full of this red soil which emitted faint glow; there was no need for any other lighting source.He had felt it weird at the time because Qing Mao mountain's soil was blue-black in color. He had thought this was arranged by the Flower Wine Monk, but now it seemed that the source was this strange blood lake.Fang Yuan felt even more wary; his five hundred years of experience had almost become an intuition."This place is not only strange, but also dangerous. I don't have the time to dilly-dally, I need to think of how to leave here." Fang Yuan raised his head and looked at the cave walls, where hundreds of holes were in the top part of the wall; which was the one connected to the spirit spring?Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment.Water could flow down here, but it didn't mean that the passages were wide enough for a human to pass through."And…." Fang Yuan looked grave as he tried shaking his two wings.However, he couldn't control these thunderwings perfectly like before, and the originally clear blue thunder was now stained with some scarlet; it gave off a contradictory feeling of power and weakness existing at the same time.The Thunderwings Gu had become unreliable, it was very possible for it to screw up and drop Fang Yuan in the middle of flight.Swoosh….An inexplicable undercurrent surged up from within the blood lake, giving off the enormous aura of Rank five gu."That is…." Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk; a long shadow gradually appeared in the blood lake.Its length surpassed forty meters and its width over six meters.This was an enormous python; it dwelled in the depths of the blood lake, but now that it had smelled out the scent of flesh on Fang Yuan, it came out to begin the hunt!"Damn it….." Fang Yuan felt a pressing urge in his heart.Right now, he was relying on the Chainsaw Golden Centipede to puncture the wall, barely managing to hang onto the soft red soil. And with his long hair and black gown, he looked like a black ant compared to the enormous blood lake.Hundreds of black dots appeared in the blood lake and rose up, just like a travelling shoal of fish.Whooshhh…..They were much faster than the giant python and flew out of the blood lake within moments, revealing their appearance.These were not fish, but bats.These blood colored bats had two long pointed ears with two pairs of wings. The main pair of wings were rather big, whereas the secondary pair of wings was on the smaller side and was below the main wings.They didn't have claws, but the edges of the two pairs of wings were as sharp as steel blades."Rank three — bladewing blood bat Gu?" A name immediately appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.These bladewing blood bat groups were directing their intense murderous aura towards him, but the first thing that appeared in his mind was 'that' image.In the image from the Photo-audio Gu, the Flower Wine Monk's whole body was covered with blood, with severe injuries to the point of being near death.Moonshadow Gu was not able to cause such injuries, but these bladewing blood bats were a different matter."Could it be that the Flower Wine Monk had come to this place and was injured by these bladewing blood bats?" Fang Yuan's thoughts revolved rapidly.Flower Wine Monk's death had been shrouded in riddles. Now, it appeared extremely likely that it was due to this place."Bladewing blood bat…." Fang Yuan murmured. In fact, this Gu wasn't a stranger to him.Even though this Gu was a Rank three Gu, it was very easy to feed, its food being blood.In his previous life, he had established the Bloodwing Devil Sect, and the symbol of the sect was precisely the bladewing blood bat. The resources from the devil sect were more than enough to support close to ten thousand bladewing blood bat Gu, allowing the sect to establish a terrifying might and spread terror.More precisely, he owed his success to bladewing blood bats.After over four hundred years in his previous life, he had accidently obtained an inheritance from the Blood Sea Ancestor. With the colonies of bladewing blood bats and his own Rank five cultivation, he became an overlord of a region.This Blood Sea Ancestor was a Rank seven demonic path Gu Master who took lives as easily as cutting grass, and his evil reputation was such that it resounded throughout the world, having his name recorded in history.At the beginning, he was just a mortal, but through luck and destiny, he became a Gu Master of demonic path. He started out from the lowest of levels and rose up in ranks, before becoming an authority of demonic path after eight hundred years.He didn't have high aptitude, thus he had limited primeval essence in his aperture. Therefore, he had a crazed interest towards researching the fusion of Gu worms.Wild Gu worms possessed their own will and could absorb the natural primeval essence in the air by themselves. However, after a Gu worm was refined by a Gu Master, its willpower would be dominated by the Gu Master, and it would lose the ability to absorb the surrounding primeval essence. It would be able to only absorb the primeval essence in the Gu Master's aperture.Blood Sea Ancestor had invested a lot of efforts in researching Gu which could absorb natural primeval essence even after being refined by a Gu Master.The righteous Gu Masters were very afraid of this. They were extremely worried that the Blood Sea Ancestor would succeed in his research. As a result, they organized countless traps before moving in for the kill.In the end, Blood Sea Ancestor wasn't able to succeed, but it also wasn't a complete failure.He succeeded in producing the fusion recipes of bladewing blood bat, blood guillotine and blood frenzy Gu.Rank three bladewing blood bat Gu was his first accomplishment. It was very easy to feed, but it still needed the Gu Master to provide primeval essence. The colony of bladewing blood bats was very special; a Gu Master just needed to control a male bat, and they could indirectly command all the other female bats.Blood frenzy Gu was his second accomplishment. This Gu was formless; as a ball of blood essence, it survived by attaching itself to other beings. It was a Rank four Gu and had a very unusual ability. Every Gu worm infected by its aura could absorb natural primeval essence every now and then. But it had a great disadvantage — the Gu worms affected by the Blood frenzy Gu would gradually leave the control of the Gu Master and would turn into a pool of blood after a period of time.Blood guillotine was the Blood Sea Ancestor's last accomplishment. This Gu was a Rank five Gu and was no doubt more advanced than the previous two. Its usability and feeding were fused into one. Usings wars to sustain itself, it multiplied by swallowing Gu Master's blood. It didn't need the Gu Master to provide it with any primeval essence.Unfortunately, after the Blood Sea Ancestor created the blood guillotine, due to the many battles and the entrapment by the righteous path, he was defeated.He suffered from fatal wounds that could not be healed, and he carved out a bloody escape from the layers of entrapment.The righteous path figures were worried about his final counterattack which could endanger themselves, so they didn't have any inclination to chase after him and looked on as he made his getaway. Since then, these righteous path figures would regret the moment every time they recalled it; they regretted that they let him get away.The Blood Sea Ancestor knew his death was a sure thing, so he started setting up a large scale inheritance. In the limited time before his death, with the strength of his Rank seven cultivation, he unexpectedly set up hundreds of thousands of inheritance grounds; his inheritances extended everywhere from the Middle Continent to the Southern Border and other places.Right before his death, he smiled devilishly, "The blood path is not alone, the legacy will continue for all eternity!"This statement was not in the least false, for countless Gu Masters benefited from his inheritances, and thus the demonic path flourished greatly.No matter the bladewing blood bat Gu, the blood frenzy Gu or the blood guillotine, they were all very easy to raise and multiply. Maybe in some unremarkable valleys, at poor villages, at no-man deserts, or beside some mountain paths, you might find two or three Gu left casually by the Blood Sea Ancestor.These Gu were easy to raise and didn't have a high demand for primeval essence, thus they could easily be used by Gu Masters with ordinary aptitudes.Survival was a difficult thing in this world, so which Gu Master wouldn't thirst for stronger powers? The Gu worms left by the Blood Sea Ancestor represented a whole new strength; this strength was a quick and easy way to rise in power, and it became more welcomed than other Gu worms.Power itself had no sins; it became good in the hands of good, and evil in the hands of evil. But in the world, how many people could have a resolute mind after a sudden increase in strength?A man who got money would often become fickle. A sudden rise in strength would certainly nourish ambitions that weren't there before.As a result, many Gu Masters that obtained the Blood Sea Ancestor's legacy would become a devil that massacred everything. Even many righteous path figures had changed their sides.The inheritances of blood Gu brought great turmoil and danger towards the whole world.In each inheritance of the Blood Sea Ancestor, there were often only two to three Gu. However, these inheritances were like a spark of fire that could cause a prairie fire if left alone!There would be demonic path Gu Masters who would come into possession of the blood Gu every so often and cause chaos. Some of them would fail; killed away in some villages. Some would succeed temporarily and become a huge figure, harming a whole region.No matter if they succeeded temporarily, or failed, at the moment of their exhaustion, they would also leave behind new blood inheritances.Thus, the blood calamity continued endlessly. Not only did it not end with the death of the Blood Sea Ancestor through the combined strength of the righteous path, it instead thrived even more greatly with the foundations left behind, unable to be eliminated as it continued for eternity.It was to the extent that the righteous path figures would frequently curse, "These accursed Blood Gu Masters! We have already killed waves upon waves of them. But if we become even a bit careless, we will see a new one coming up from nowhere!"By now, the Blood Sea Inheritances were already publicly recognized as the most popular in the whole world, with the greatest number of inheritances. There was no competition!In the strictest sense, Fang Yuan had received a favor from the Blood Sea Ancestor."In my previous life, only after over four hundred years, I found a blood sea inheritance and was then able to begin my rule. Now, if I can subdue these blood bats, it will be like completing four hundred years of effort."Blood bats charged at him but Fang Yuan was not afraid.He had the Spring Autumn Cicada, so these bats would submit without question in front of the Rank six aura. The only problem was the Rank five Blood Python that was still concealed, hiding within the blood lake."But this situation is somewhat fishy. The Blood Sea Ancestor's inheritances normally only have two-three Gu worms. How come this place has hundreds of bladewing blood bats? Could it be… that rumor is true?"The rumor said that the Blood Sea Ancestor's hundreds of thousands of inheritances were diversions, and the true inheritances were only a few.In these few inheritances, the Blood Sea Ancestor was said to have concealed his best Gu worms, or research insights or fusion recipes."Could this place be a true inheritance ground of the Blood Sea Ancestor?" When Fang Yuan thought of this, his heart started to beat loudly.His thoughts moved like lightning and although he thought of many things, only a little time had passed in reality.Bladewing blood bats charged at him one after another; Fang Yuan was calm, his long hair and black gown fluttering in the air as he climbed up the wall and was going to summon Spring Autumn Cicada.But right at this time, there was a sudden change!"As expected, this place is hiding the blood calamity!" A deep and firm voice, loud like the clash between iron and stone, came from the top of the cave and echoed within the blood lake.Divine Investigator Tie Xue Leng!

"Tie Xue Leng, why is he suddenly here?" Fang Yuan recognised the voice, feeling shocked.This loud voice echoed above the blood pond, causing intense waves to form."This is… Heaven Earth Magnificent Sound Gu?" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth. As the loud voice hurt his eardrums, he felt his entire brain buzzing.Heaven Earth Magnificent Sound Gu, a Rank five Gu, was from a sound-type Gu. Once activated, it could form soundwave attacks that had a wide range, belonging to an extremely strong area-of-effect attacking-type Gu.The voice that Fang Yuan was hearing now, is only Tie Xue Leng's probing; it was just him slightly shouting and not activating his Gu completely.This intensity was like Fang Yuan using the Moonlight Gu to open the purple gold rock; it was a type of in-depth control of his Gu worm.Of course, the Heaven Earth Magnificent Sound Gu also had its weakness. If used for long, it would cause great strain to the Gu Master's throat and vocal cord. Once his limit is exceeded, the Gu Master would become completely mute, losing his ability to speak.Bam!A loud explosion occurred as blood and water flew everywhere.The top half of the huge python's body appeared in Fang Yuan's vision.Blood river python!Fang Yuan's irises shrunk as he saw the python with its bright smooth blood red scales, and its head around the size of an elephant. Scarlet-gold coloured sharp bone spikes protruded out from above its eyes, showing its ferocious and frenzy aura completely."Blood river python… I remember that in the Gu Yue clan's history, after the first generation clan leader created the village, a blood river python appeared and was a huge threat to the village. Legend says the first gen killed it, but don't tell me…"Fang Yuan's thoughts moved, thinking of something.The blood river python was humongous, snake head high in the air, its purple irises staring right at Fang Yuan with two ruthless glances.It had a ruthless nature, untamable and fed on blood. Even if the Spring Autumn Cicada's aura tried to suppress it, that would only cause it to become more frenzied. Among Rank five Gu worms, it was one of the hardest to refine.But after the blood river python took a look at Fang Yuan up on the walls, it raised its head higher and turned towards the top of the cave.At the top of the cave, there was another tiny shadow, floating down from one of the holes at the ceiling.He wore a bronze mask, his hands behind his back, his gaze cool and calm. Although compared to the blood river python, he was small like an ant, but the imposing aura coming from his body caused a great pressure to emit from him at all directions, like a heavenly being descending down to Earth.Righteous Gu!A mind-type Gu that only someone who upheld justice could activate.People who were villainous or had weak minds and aspirations, were often scared shitless under the influence of the Righteous Gu, afraid of everything as they had a guilty conscience, their battle spirit decreasing in battle and causing them to feel an inability to defeat Tie Xue Leng, thus collapsing without battle.Screech screech….Under the pressure of the righteousness, the bladewing blood bat Gu were frantic and could only scream shrilly as a strong pressure pushed down on their bodies. Their wings could only continue to flap as they struggled to stay in mid-air, floating up and down.They could barely take care of themselves, much less bother about Fang Yuan.Even the ferocious blood river python slightly lowered its head, feeling Tie Xue Leng's supreme presence."What a good Righteous Gu!" Fang Yuan climbed on the wall, smirking.This suppression from the Righteous Gu had no effect on him. Only those with weak minds could be greatly weakened. He was a supreme demonic overlord, his mind strong as steel, how could this illusionary pressure scare him?"Eh?" Fang Yuan's immunity caused Tie Xue Leng to call out in shock, feeling very surprised.The Righteous Gu had been with him for many years, and he was very sure about the Gu's effect.Righteous Gu's effect varied. It attacked the mind directly, sometimes having great effect while other times having no effect.But the times where it did not work, were almost nonexistent. Even righteous people felt a strong suppression in their hearts. After all, their factions did not determine a person's kindness and evil; there are no perfect humans.But Tie Xue Leng knew deeply about Fang Yuan's crimes. The first time they met, he already implanted a Gu on Fang Yuan, using it to track his whereabouts. After that, Tie Xue Leng could faintly discern the changes in the surroundings where Fang Yuan went.Those who committed great sins, under the Righteous Gu, would definitely waver. But Tie Xue Leng also met a good number of demonic Gu Masters, that were unaffected by the righteous aura."There is only one type of person who would be unaffected by the Righteous Gu even after commiting sins. These are the people with real demonic nature, in the deepest parts of their hearts. They are crazy and adamant, not treating their sins as sins, but thinking of it as natural. To think that this Fang Yuan has such an intense demonic nature! Hmph, I'll get rid of this great demon here first. If Fang Yuan manages to survive, I will come and finish him later!"Tie Xue Leng hated evil with a burning passion. With a cold snort, he turned towards the blood river python.Once he appeared, he was locked on by this blood river python. As long as he was distracted in killing Fang Yuan, he would reveal a weakness.Tie Xue Leng had such a severe injury on him, and at the same time there might be a powerful enemy hidden in the background and observing him. Thus, he did not dare to lose focus.He stared at this blood river python for a moment, before looking further into the blood pond.Not long ago, he received a mysterious letter. Inside there was concrete evidence that Gu Yue village held a bloody calamity.This letter was held by a red-crowned crane coming from the sky, with a questionable source.But Tie Xue Leng would rather believe it than miss it. After all, the blood calamity was not ordinary, he could not take it lightly. If he lost focus, it would expand and spread like a plague, harming the world.The best method to deal with it was to eliminate the source before it forms into a strong force.Coincidentally, he already had another request at hand — it was Jia Fu paying a high cost to ask him to investigate Jia Jin Sheng's death.Tie Xue Leng thus brought his daughter and rushed to Qing Mao Mountain.He ordered his daughter to investigate Jia Jin Sheng's case. It was to nurture and train Tie Ruo Nan, but also to act as a red herring, stalling for time and hiding in the background investigating this issue.The first time when he met Fang Yuan, he implanted a Shared-sense Gu on him. Although it was merely at a whim, he did it due to his accumulated experience and instinct.Shared-sense Gu was formless and colorless, like a signet. He had implanted over tens of them, but the only successful one was the first one he implanted."First gen Gu Yue, I know you are not dead. You hid for nearly a thousand years plotting this scheme, but unfortunately, it's all going down the drain." Tie Xue Leng opened his mouth, causing the air to tremble.But there were no changes to the blood pond. Instead, the blood river python opened its mouth, screaming furiously.It was born ferocious, unable to be suppressed. The Righteous Gu triggered its ferocity.Bam.It stretched its body abruptly, the huge snake body rising with the tides of blood, bringing a killing intent that tore through the skies, pouncing towards Tie Xue Leng who was in mid-air.Tie Xue Leng was already wary against the blood river python, and he quickly moved, avoiding the blood river python's bite.The python's body was too long, and its momentum was too strong. It ended up crashing all the way onto the ceiling of the cave.A loud bang ensued as a portion of the ceiling collapsed, and large amounts of debris fell and caused much commotion in the blood lake waves."Hmph, First gen Gu Yue, you think you are safe with just a blood python protecting you? You might as well appear now," Tie Xue Leng snickered. He moved about in the air, and the blood river python's attacks were like a gentle rain pelting on him.The blood river python attacked furiously, getting more worked up as it continued to miss.It had unparalleled strength, able to display it all and cause great damage.The entire space was shaking from its strength like an earthquake, and the blood lake began to raise strong ripples."Fuck!" Fang Yuan was caught by the crossfire, and as the red soil softened, his foothold had been ruined.He could only use the Chainsaw Golden Centipede as well as the Thunderwings Gu to move along the walls. Meanwhile the rock debris was falling down like rain.As he had expected, the Thunderwings Gu was really in bad shape. Fang Yuan's thunderwings were extremely weak and lethargic, unable to provide him much boost in speed.But the strange thing was, the Thunderwings Gu was taking lesser and lesser primeval essence from Fang Yuan. During the period where Fang Yuan moved about, it started to absorb primeval essence from the surrounding air to replenish itself.At first, this situation was uncommon and happened in short intervals.As Fang Yuan continued to dodge, he did not notice initially. But eventually, the intervals got shorter and the duration lengthened.At the same time, the Thunderwings Gu got weaker and weaker."I get it, its the Blood Frenzy Gu!" Fang Yuan's mind shone with inspiration.Only when affected by the Blood Frenzy Gu will such a situation occur.Plop!Fang Yuan put in 100% effort, but eventually still fell into the blood lake.The blood river python was rampaging everywhere, using its thick tail to sweep across the place, causing large debris to fall like rain.Fang Yuan activated the Sky Canopy Gu, covering himself with a white armor. He was good at swimming. In his previous life he had lived in the Eastern Sea for a long time, thus he had sufficient training.The falling rocks were as large as houses, and he tried his best to avoid them. Sometimes he swam underwater, sinking into the lake to use the water to reduce the impact of the rocks.But for the smaller fragments, some were fist-sized while others were like grindstones, and he could not avoid them all.The white light armor was firm like a monolith, but it could not handle the full impact of the rocks, causing him to feel pain when they hit his armor. At the same time, his primeval essence also decreased with each hit endured.Thankfully, the Righteous Gu's power was surrounding the area, causing the group of bladewing blood bat Gu to fly around randomly, not finding trouble with Fang Yuan.But Fang Yuan's expression was solemn.The Thunderwings Gu was half crippled after being corrupted by the Blood Frenzy Gu, and without a special Gu to clean it, it would soon turn into a puddle of blood water, turning into a new pollution origin.How did it get infected by the Blood Frenzy Gu?Fang Yuan considered the previous events, and there was only one explanation — in this blood water, there was a Blood Frenzy Gu inside.The Thunderwings Gu continued to weaken, and started to become uncontrollable.Thankfully he activated the white light armor in time, otherwise if the Blood Frenzy Gu got into his body and entered his aperture, most of his Gu worms would get corrupted.But if his primeval essence was expended, or if this armor was broken, the consequences would be severe!"I have to leave this place as soon as possible!" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, trying to find a way out from the surroundings as he swam around.Large amounts of red soil on the mountain walls collapsed from the battle.The cave ceiling was completely destroyed beyond recognition as well. Tie Xue Leng floated in mid-air, engaging the blood river python in combat.Rank five battles were not something Fang Yuan could interfere in.The more a Gu Master advanced, the larger the difference in battle strength among ranks.Maybe with a sweep of the blood river python's tail, it could break the light armor and cause the Sky Canopy Gu to be gravely injured, breaking all of Fang Yuan's bones in the process. Perhaps with a simple wave of Tie Xue Leng's hands, it could send Fang Yuan falling into an impasse.The situation right now was like two giant elephants fighting, while Fang Yuan was a domestic cat. Although he had tiny claws, there was nothing he could do."Wait, a cave entrance?"

The tunnel entrance wasn't big and should have been buried by the red soil before. But now, as the blood lake surged up in a huge wave, the red soil in the surrounding walls were washed away, sinking down in the lake. As a result, the tunnel entrance cleared up again and became visible.No matter what, this tunnel entrance was like a light of hope. Fang Yuan immediately turned around and started swimming towards it.BOOM!Another intense explosion occurred in the air. The enormous force of the explosion struck the surroundings and violently pushed Fang Yuan forward."Damn it!" He cursed.Great amounts of red soil had fallen down and buried the tunnel entrance again.Iron fist grappling Gu!In the air, Tie Xue Leng took a deep breath and slowly extended his right hand when he felt the time was right.There was a ripple in the air before him and a giant black iron hand appeared; it appeared slow but pressed down on the blood river python's tail within moments.Blood river python struggled fiercely, and with its wet scales and slick body, the iron hand slipped off it and burst out with golden-red light.Tie Xue Leng, however, had plenty of battle experiences and wasn't downcast. He slightly raised his head, puffed up his cheeks and blew strongly towards the Blood River Python.Whoosh!Pitch black oil fell down like waterfall and formed into the shape of a dragon in the air, before plunging towards the Blood River Python.Oil Dragon Gu!The blood River Python was furious. It snarled and started tearing at the Oil Dragon Gu.The black oil dragon was not in the least inferior to Blood River Python in terms of physique, but it was only a Rank four Gu and did not have a physical body; it was soon torn to shreds by Blood River Python.Tie Xue Leng smiled, on the contrary.Beasts were beasts, if a Gu Master had personally controlled it, they would have seen through this classic and ordinary battle tactic. The Blood River Python had been refined and although it had a Gu Master's imprint on it, it didn't have the wisdom of humans.The oil dragon was exterminated, causing backlash to the Oil Dragon Gu in the aperture.Tie Xue Leng didn't care; he stopped using the Oil Dragon Gu then began activating Fire Dragon Gu.He gave a loud shout and his body shook, and then a Gu that looked like a flame shot out of his aperture. The flame quickly formed into a fire snake, winding around its own body.As the fire snake flew, it grew bigger, then it immediately started growing scales, claws, horns and sharp teeth. Its face started becoming more like that of a horse; it had changed into an enormous fire dragon.This Fire Dragon Gu was also a Rank four Gu, but it was able to cause a lot of pain to Blood River Python.This was because of the oil dragon; when it was wiped out, great amounts of black oil stuck to Blood River Python's body, and now the fire dragon was causing the oil to catch fire and roast the Blood River Python.Besides the snake, the black oil had also fallen on the lake surface. Right now, a raging inferno was burning on the bright red blood lake, causing the air temperature to increase rapidly.The fire dragon was not the Blood River Python's match at all, it suffered heavy injuries and kept on shrinking. But every time this happened, it would drill into the raging inferno and recover some of its power.With the raging inferno, the fire dragon had a homeground advantage.Blood River Python was constantly being burned as it fought with the fire dragon, there was even a smell of scorched meat coming off it.Blood River Python had a berserk nature and it would erupt with even stronger counterattack if it got suppressed. But right now, it was actually shrinking back, giving up on the fire dragon and diving deep into the blood lake.Humans were the highest of all living beings and possessed the intelligence to develop new concepts. With Tie Xue Leng's tactics, two Rank four Gu were able to make the Rank five Blood River Python retreat.But Gu were the essence of the world, containing the secrets of heaven and earth, a portion of the natural laws. And Blood River Python's ability was extreme self recovery.As it sank to the bottom of the lake, the blood water continuously nourished it, rapidly healing the wounds on its body. The fire dragon had the field advantage; so did the blood python. As long as the blood lake existed, it was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed.Fang Yuan's situation was even more perilous.The inferno on the surface of the blood lake was constantly spreading, burning even hotter, and the flames were roasting him alive.The pressure on the Sky Canopy Gu was getting bigger and bigger. But the most critical point was not this, but rather it was the increasing difficulty in breathing.The flames used great amounts of air to maintain their combustion, and this place is underground and was originally a half-sealed area, which meant it took more time to replenish the used oxygen. Fang Yuan was gradually starting to feel suffocated."Although Oil Dragon Gu and Fire Dragon Gu sent Blood River Python retreating with their combined efforts, this is only temporary. As long as there are large amounts of blood water, Blood River Python will recover with a terrifying rate. Once it comes out, it will have recovered to its peak state and the Fire Dragon Gu would no longer be its match. But, this is basic knowledge, it is impossible for Tie Xue Leng to not know this. Then he…."Fang Yuan bobbed up and down on the blazing lake; his thoughts were revolving rapidly. And his heart tensed when he thought of this.If he wasn't wrong, Tie Xue Leng should have achieved his intention by making Blood River Python retreat.Tie Xue Leng needed enough time and he needed the situation to be like this to prepare his following killing move.Sure enough, in the next moment, while floating in the air Tie Xue Leng suddenly extended both his arms and a deep roar emerged from his mouth.He withdrew the righteous aura that had been suppressing everything, and whole-heartedly poured his Rank five primeval essence into the copper mask.The copper mask started to brighten up; it was only a glimmer at first but within few breaths of time, it burst out with an extremely dazzling green light, as bright as a fragment of the sun.The green light shone upon everything like a monarch overlooking the heavens and earth. For a moment, the red soil, blood lake and raging inferno were covered with a layer of dark green light.The green light contained a mystical power.Under this power, the mountain rocks began to shake and crumble.From above the cave, huge rocks came crumbling down, flying towards the copper mask. Great amounts of soil and rocks from the top to bottom of the red walls also slowly flew up.Tie Xue Leng's face was already shrouded by the light from the copper mask. Great amounts of mountain rocks gathered around the copper mask and condensed together into a human shape.Debris continuously converged from all around and the rock figure kept on getting bigger.From one meter in the beginning, it rapidly grew to three meters… five meters…eight meters…and finally reached eighteen meters!Giant Mountain Puppet Gu!The giant figure with indomitable spirit descended towards the blood lake.Its two feet touched the bottom of the blood lake, but the water only reached up to about its waist. Its body was very robust and grand; horse chariots could run on its two arms and it could hold an elephant on its fist.Its face looked simple and unadorned; it was the enlarged version of the copper mask."Fire dragon, come." It spoke, and its voice seemed to shake the heavens and earth.The fire dragon which was churning in the fire sea flew up and coiled around the giant puppet's right arm like a snake, and its head rested on the right shoulder of the giant puppet.Next, the Oil Dragon Gu flew out and formed a pitch black oil dragon which coiled around the giant puppet's left arm and its head rested on the left shoulder of the giant puppet.With dragons on his left and right, the giant figure appeared like a heavenly deity descending down!Fang Yuan used all his strength to swim towards the tunnel entrance. When the debris had flown and formed the giant puppet, the red soil covering the tunnel entrance had also gone with it, once again revealing the opening.This battlefield was becoming more dangerous, the tunnel entrance could be buried again at any time; Fang Yuan didn't dare to stay longer.The fire sea gradually died out, and suddenly a huge red wave rose from the blood lake.Blood River Python initiated its attack from the lake; it coiled around the giant puppet and moved upwards. The giant snake head smashed towards the giant puppet's face like a ram.This attack was very powerful and if it really struck, more than half of the giant puppet's head would be destroyed."Iron fist grappling!" The giant puppet shouted; the air split open and an iron hand flew out, grabbing at the snake head.With a loud boom, the iron hand shattered but Blood River Python's attack was also stopped.Tie Xue Leng won a brief respite. The giant puppet's two hands grabbed towards Blood River Python in tandem.Oil dragon and fire dragon seized the chance and climbed Blood River Python. The two snake combined and formed a blazing flame, roasting Blood River Python.Blood River Python kept on hissing in pain and struggled furiously. But why would Tie Xue Leng let it escape so easily? The giant puppet's hands were like pincers as they firmly pressed on the Blood River Python.The Blood River Python was not able to escape. Its body was scorched black, giving off the smell of burnt meat. This stimulated its vicious nature; since it couldn't escape, it coiled around the giant puppet and violently contracted, trying to kill it by constriction.Although the giant puppet was made from condensed mountain rocks, its body had the softness of the red soil. With Blood River Python's constricting force, its waist quickly shrunk by a fold.Cracking sounds emerged, and fragments of rocks flew in all directions.Under the stimulation of death, Blood River Python burst forth with an even greater strength.Fang Yuan finally climbed to the edge of the tunnel entrance, when suddenly the giant puppet gave out coughing sounds.Tie Xue Leng's old illness had reappeared!The giant puppet's hands loosened, and the Blood River Python hissed and its body suddenly jumped ahead.However, the giant puppet's hands tightened again. The Blood River Python opened its mouth wide and revealed its sharp fangs, its head crazily swaying but it still fell short by a distance.It was not able to retaliate and it was gradually losing its strength; it would burn to death soon.But right at this moment, dense bloody fog rose up from the middle of the blood lake."Blood Frenzy Gu!" Fang Yuan's eyes showed a hint of dread; he immediately climbed the tunnel entrance and went inside it.The bloody fog rapidly pervaded the air, and the raging inferno on the bloodlake had completely extinguished.A whirlpool appeared in the middle of the blood lake.The whirlpool had started from the middle of the lake and quickly spread from there, growing bigger until its edges were touching the surrounding walls."Humph, Gu Yue first head, you couldn't endure it anymore?…." The giant puppet coldly snorted.A giant blood wave reaching as high as ten meters gushed out of the middle of the whirlpool.And from within the blood wave, a vertical crimson coffin gradually rose up." Hehehehe …." A hoarse and strange voice was transmitted from inside the coffin, and anyone that heard this voice would feel cold to the bone."Young junior, thou dare spoil my plan, thou court death and I shall give it to thee!" Before the voice had died away, the coffin lid shot out like a catapult, revealing a shrivelled corpse.He had a scarlet face and fangs, his hair red like blood, his eyes deep and contained a fire that seemed about to extinguish.He had no skin, and thin strips of red muscles were clinging onto the white bones, giving him a shrivelled and fierce look."Junior, thou art wounded but yet dare to provoke me. Today, thou shalt die!!" The corpse spoke, but there was no movement in its mouth, the voice had come from its abdomen.He kept on saying ' I ', ' thou '— these were the speech habits of thousand years ago."Rank five Blood Wight Gu! Is he really the first head?" Fang Yuan was flabbergasted, but wasn't surprised.In this magical world, there were plenty of Gu Masters who lived for centuries. Besides using the most orthodox way of increasing lifespan through the Lifespan Gu, there were also some demonic ways to make one live forever.For instance, the Rank two Roaming Zombie Gu.If this Gu was used for too long, the Gu Master would turn completely into a zombie and as long as they sucked blood at specific times, they could live freely forever.The Gu Yue first head in front of him had used such a way.Blood Wight Gu was a major Rank five advancement route of the Roaming Zombie Gu. Along with the Asura zombie, heavenly demon zombie, nightmare zombie and plague zombie, they were called five great flying zombies.The Lifespan Gu was difficult to find. The first head had turned himself into a blood wight flying zombie and buried himself here!
