Blood Explosion Crystal

Rumble!

A terrifying explosion resounded as the Blood Explosion Crystal released a terrifying ball of blood-red light that enveloped Zhuowen.

Yun Zhongyang stomped his foot and hurriedly retreated nearly a hundred steps. His gaze was focused on the ball of blood-red light in front of him, and his expression was one of satisfaction.

When Zhuowen had asked him for the core, he had already planned to give the Blood Explosion Crystal away. He had obtained the Blood Explosion Crystal by chance, and it contained a terrifying amount of violent energy.

When this violent energy erupted, it was extremely terrifying. Even if it was an early-stage Heavenly Venerable martial artist, if caught off guard and enveloped by this explosive energy, their fate would not be any better.

"Hehe!

You deserve to die. You want the core? You're really courting death. "Yun Zhongyang's lips curled up as he spoke coldly.

Boom!

Suddenly, Yun Zhongyang noticed that the ball of light in front of him had started to shrink, as if it was being sucked in by something. Yun Zhongyang's pupils shrank to the size of needles.

"What's going on?" Yun Zhongyang frowned slightly as he muttered in a strange tone.

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump! The crisp sound of footsteps suddenly came out of the ball of light. Yun Zhongyang's expression froze as a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

When he looked over, he saw that the ball of light in front of him had completely shrunk to the size of a palm. Then, the blood-red haired and red-eyed Zhuowen slowly walked out. On his right cheek, a strange demonic tattoo constantly flickered with a pitch-black light.

The explosive energy of the Blood Explosion Crystal had been absorbed by the demonic tattoo on Zhuowen's right cheek. As for Zhuowen, he walked out unscathed. A pair of bloodthirsty eyes stared coldly at Yun Zhongyang, causing the latter to involuntarily shiver.

Cold. Zhuowen's gaze was too cold. It was so cold that Yun Zhongyang could not help but shiver.

"Yun Zhongyang!

You're very good. I originally said that I would spare your life, but you forced me to kill you. "

Zhuowen's voice was extremely cold. He was furious that he had been tricked by Zhuowen.

The Blood Explosion Crystal's energy was extremely violent. If Zhuowen had been hit by it, even if he didn't die, he would've been seriously injured. Fortunately, the magic tattoo hidden on his right cheek suddenly released an extremely powerful suction force, absorbing all of the Blood Explosion Crystal's violent energy.

This was a demonic pattern extracted from a demonic weapon. Its demonic power was terrifying. However, with Zhuowen's current cultivation and realm, he was still unable to tap into the power of this demonic pattern. He could only wait passively for it to be triggered. This made Zhuowen a little depressed.

However, he also knew that this demonic pattern was definitely not ordinary, so he did not pursue the matter. He knew that as his cultivation increased, the power of this demonic pattern would definitely be unearthed and utilized by him, but now was not the time.

"How is that possible?

The Blood Explosion Crystal's energy has been absorbed? "

Yun Zhongyang slowly took a few steps back. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the Devil Tattoo on Zhuowen's right cheek that was constantly flickering with black light.

"Run!"

Yun Zhongyang let out a shrill cry as he took a step forward and fled into the passageway behind him. The demonic youth before him was simply too terrifying. He was clearly only a Supreme-Being, yet the battle prowess he displayed was so terrifying.

Even the violent energy of the Blood Explosion Crystal couldn't do anything to this young man. Yun Zhongyang didn't have any confidence in facing this young man.

The Blue Whale Holy Dynasty's Crown Prince, Yun Zhongyang, who had always been arrogant and unruly, was finally afraid. The demonic young man in front of him was so powerful that he couldn't breathe.

"Want to run?

Do you think that's possible? "

Zhuo Wen sneered. With a stomp of his foot, a violent bloody aura erupted. He shot forward like a bullet, arriving above Yun Zhongyang in an instant. With a push of his right hand, a terrifying demonic power of massacre surged out, slamming heavily into Yun Zhongyang's back.

Puchi!

Yun Zhongyang spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as snow. Under the force of this palm strike, he was sent crashing into the ground, creating a deep crater.

Whoosh!

Zhuowen stomped on Yun Zhongyang's chest, causing him to fall back into the crater. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he looked extremely miserable.

"You dare to kill me?" Yun Zhongyang narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"You think I don't dare?

I originally planned to spare your life, but you didn't seize the opportunity. So, you don't have any more chances now. "

Zhuowen said indifferently. He stretched out his right hand, and the blood spear appeared in his hand. Without any hesitation, he stabbed it towards Yun Zhongyang's forehead. This attack was meant to kill Yun Zhongyang once and for all.

Yun Zhongyang could also sense the dense killing intent in Zhuo Wen's eyes. He knew that the young man before him truly intended to kill him. With a fierce howl, he took out a jade tablet from his bosom and unceremoniously crushed it. Soon after, a terrifying aura enveloped Yun Zhongyang's body. Yun Zhongyang's speed soared to the extreme, and he actually escaped from Zhuo Wen's control.

"You're so fast. But no matter how fast you are, you still have to stay here."

Zhuowen's gaze changed slightly. With a stomp of his foot, he chased after the fleeing Yun Zhongyang.

"You're haunting me!"

Yun Zhongyang's eyes were dark. Another jade tablet appeared in his hand, and he crushed it again. His speed was actually several times faster than before. He turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the corridor.

Zhuowen's expression was ugly. He said coldly, "Do you think you can escape like this?"

As he spoke, a jade leaf appeared in his hand. It was the Wind Control Nine Autumns that he had robbed from Qing Xuzi. This Wind Control Nine Autumns could teleport Zhuowen to any location within a thousand miles.

After crushing the Wind Control Nine Autumns, Zhuowen's figure instantly disappeared from the stone hall.

Whoosh!

In the dark corridor, a figure flashed past like a ghost. It was Yun Zhongyang, who had escaped from the stone hall. At this moment, Yun Zhongyang's face was as pale as snow. He looked extremely weak, but his eyes were filled with hatred.

"I, Yun Zhongyang, have never been in such a sorry state. That bastard actually forced me into this state. It's too hateful. After this assessment, I will definitely not let that bastard go." Yun Zhongyang gritted his teeth and said.

At this moment, in the stone hall, only he and the demonic youth knew about this. If he was defeated by the demonic youth in front of everyone, Yun Zhongyang would be too ashamed to show his face.

"Fortunately, I obtained the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree this time. This thing is quite beneficial to me."

As he spoke, Yun Zhongyang took out a blood-red hexahedral crystal core from his Spiritual Ring. The hatred in his eyes slowly faded and was replaced by a trace of excitement.

"As expected of the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree. What a rich life force. This thing is a sacred healing medicine."

As he spoke, Yun Zhongyang took a deep breath. He immediately felt refreshed and the gloominess in his heart disappeared. Then, he pinched the Heart of the Heart with his right hand and began to absorb the life force within it to heal his injuries.

Puchi!

A blood-red spear suddenly descended from the sky and pierced through Yun Zhongyang's right hand that was holding the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree. Then, blood splattered and the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree soared into the sky.

"Ah!"

Yun Zhongyang suddenly screamed. He covered the wound on his right arm and retreated. His gaze was fixed on the broken arm that was pinned to the ground by the blood-red spear. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He was all too familiar with this blood-red spear. It was the weapon of the demonic youth. However, he was even more puzzled about how the demonic youth had caught up with him. The jade pendant that he had crushed contained the Law of Wind, which greatly increased his speed.

If he had crushed the jade pendant, even a Peak Heavenly Venerable warrior would not have been able to catch up with him. However, not only had the demonic youth caught up with him, but he had also secretly broken his arm.

Whoosh!

A figure covered in a bloody aura slowly walked to the front of the blood spear and pulled it out with his right hand. Under Yun Zhongyang's gloomy gaze, he slowly removed the heart core in the severed arm's hand and the spirit ring on his finger.

After doing all that, Zhuowen turned his head and stared at Yun Zhongyang who was not far away. He said indifferently, "Next, it won't be as simple as just breaking an arm."

Boom!

After saying that, Zhuowen stomped the ground. A terrifying murderous demonic aura surged out and shot out like a cannonball. It was so fast that it was dazzling.

Yun Zhongyang roared and actually took out a jade pendant from his chest. He crushed it without hesitation. His entire body was enveloped by the Law of Wind. With the sound of something breaking through the air, Yun Zhongyang turned into a gentle breeze and instantly disappeared from the passageway.

Boom!

Zhuowen's fist missed and slammed into the stone wall beside the passageway. A powerful force spread out and the entire passageway shook violently.

"He actually has a jade pendant. The jade pendant on Yun Zhongyang's body contains a trace of the Law of Wind. Once it is crushed, Yun Zhongyang can temporarily borrow the power of the Law of Wind to increase his speed to the extreme. Even I would have a hard time catching up to him."

Zhuowen muttered softly and did not chase after Yun Zhongyang. Although he could catch up to Yun Zhongyang if he used another Wind of Nine Autumns, Zhuowen only had four Wind of Nine Autumns. After using one earlier, he only had three left.

The Wind of Nine Autumns was a useful tool for escaping. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhuowen would not use it casually. Now that he had already snatched the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree and Yun Zhongyang's Spiritual Ring, Zhuowen naturally would not waste the Wind of Nine Autumns to chase after Yun Zhongyang.

Sizzle!

Sizzle! Holding the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree and feeling the powerful vitality in his palm, Zhuowen could not help but reveal a relaxed and happy expression. The vitality in the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree was indeed very powerful.

"Kid!

Don't absorb the vitality in the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree first. This is not how you should use it. "

A black light came out from between Zhuowen's eyebrows and turned into the appearance of Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei came to the side of the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree and hooked her right hand. Immediately, a surge of soul power gushed out from the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree and entered Xiao Hei's body.

Zhuowen knew that this should be the soul power contained in the Heart of the Blood Soul Tree. This soul power had undeniable benefits for Xiao Hei. Therefore, Zhuowen did not disturb Xiao Hei and only watched silently.
