Chapter 208 - Sneak Attack!
Chapter 208 Sneak Attack!
Blood Lord was severely injured due to Jiu You’s sneak attack.
But a wounded beast would only become more intimidating and aggressive!
Even if Jiu You was able to kill Blood Lord, it would have to pay a great cost.
Therefore, Chu Xun chose to run away for the time being.
However, Jiu You did not want to leave so quickly. Since Blood Lord was already injured, it wanted to kill him right now to prevent any more confrontations from happening in the future.
“Chu Xun, this man’s cultivation is at an incredible level, but your cultivation is dropping really fast. He will be a threat to us sooner or later, why don’t we kill him now while he is injured?” Jiu You said in its childlike voice, yet its voice was full of intent to kill.
“Jiu You is actually right. Having a grade-nine Grandmaster will be a big trouble for me sooner or later.” Chu Xun thought.
“Moreover, there could be more enemies hidden in the dark.”
“If we can kill him, we can at least deter those insignificant enemies from attacking.”
“So we should kill him now.” Chu Xun made up his mind.
Jiu You slid down to the ground and approached Blood Lord carefully. It wanted to give him another surprise assault.
Jiu You hid the colorful light around its body and moved in secret. It approached Blood Lord in no time.
Swoosh!
Jiu You bounced to the height of a human being and launched another attack. Its tail whipped towards Blood Lord’s head, creating fierce wind along its path.
Blood Lord was once injured by its attack, so he subconsciously tilted his head after seeing the burst of colorful light.
Slap!
Blood was splattered everywhere, Blood Lord growled furiously.
His head dodged the attack, yet his shoulder took a hit. His shoulder blade was cracked by Jiu You’s attack.
Blood Lord went mad this time. He concentrated energy in his palm and pushed towards Jiu You.
Clang!
His palm signet hit Jiu You hard while it was still in the air. Harsh sounds of metals clashing could be heard and there were sparks in the air.
This was because Jiu You had scales as tough as black iron.
Jiu You was knocked into the bushes and disappeared.
Boom!
Blood Lord was thrust out as well, and he hit and broke a giant tree with a thick trunk.
While nobody was watching, Chu Xun sneaked behind Blood Lord’s back and attacked him while he was attacking Jiu You.
However, Chu Xun’s True Energy was too weak to deal significant damage to him. He merely knocked him to the air.
Blood Lord turned completely mad. He could not accept the fact that a grade-nine Grandmaster kept being surprised by others’ sneak attacks. His head was almost shattered to pieces, and it was still bleeding.
“Die, Chu Xun!”
Blood Lord charged towards Chu Xun like a streak of lightning. He raised his palm and gathered all his strength, leaves rustled in the wind created by his palms.
Chu Xun gritted his teeth and attempted to defend by gathering his True Energy.
Boom!
Blood Lord’s palm hit Chu Xun’s fist heavily.
Chu Xun was knocked back immediately and spat a mouthful of blood. He only stopped after breaking numerous trees on his path.
Meanwhile, there was a burst of colorful light.
Slap!
Blood Lord’s head took a heavy hit right after he knocked Chu Xun away. He was knocked back immediately and his blood splattered across the sky.
“Argh...”
Blood Lord growled while holding his head.
“Head again? Why can’t they hit somewhere else?” Blood Lord thought as he had a strong urge to curse. There was even more blood gushing out of his head. His old wound was a few centimeters’ longer and one could even see the bones through it. He felt that his brain plasma would start oozing out after taking another hit.
The front part of Blood Lord’s clothes was already soaked in blood. His hair was let down in disarray onto his shoulders, he looked just like a ferocious ghost.
It was even weirder when his blood trickled back into Blood Lord’s body through his pores on the skin.
...
Chu Xun struggled before he was able to stand up, he could not help but spit a mouthful of blood.
“Chu Xun...”
Blood Lord’s expression had become twisted as his hatred towards Chu Xun grew to the strongest. He growled and charged towards Chu Xun, disregarding the fact that his head was still bleeding.
Chu Xun smiled bitterly. He tried to gather True Energy but found out that it was almost depleted. He took great effort to forge one Reincarnation Line using the remaining True Energy in his body and hid it behind him.
Blood Lord’s face now looked horrifying and hideous. He pushed out his palm and charged forward with overwhelming energy comparable to a streak of lightning.
Bang!
His palm hit Chu Xun’s chest heavily. Chu Xun spat a blood mist that just happened to cover Blood Lord’s vision.
Meanwhile, the Reincarnation Line was shot out with the speed of light towards Blood Lord’s throat.
Blood Lord’s pupils enlarged upon seeing that streak of light coming towards him with extreme speed. He subconsciously tilted his head to dodge.
Swoosh!
A string covered in blood shot out from the back of Blood Lord’s neck, more of his blood spilled out afterwards.
His neck was penetrated by the Reincarnation Line.
Blood Lord shouted angrily. If he did not react so quickly, his throat would have been penetrated instead.
Chu Xun was knocked back for tens of meters and his body smashed a giant rock. His clothes were already soaked in blood.
“It surely is hard to kill a grade-nine Grandmaster. I took a hit just to attack him with my Reincarnation Line, yet he still dodged that fatal attack.” He looked at the enraged Blood Lord coldly and thought.
“Should he be a grade-seven or grade-eight Grandmaster, his throat would have been penetrated and he would have died.”
When the Reincarnation Line pierced through Blood Lord’s neck, Jiu You launched another attack.
It leaped into the air and whipped its tail.
Slap! Crack!
Blood Lord screamed hysterically for numerous times as he fell from the sky and created a huge pit on the ground upon landing.
Not only was his head bleeding, the bones in his head were also cracked by Jiu You.
Blood Lord growled as he stood up, yet he could not stabilize his body. The pain in his head was giving him blackouts.
“Chu Xun, I will slice you into pieces...”
Slap!
A streak of colorful light slapped onto his face aggressively and knocked him back for at least ten meters.
While Blood Lord was already injured, Jiu You grasped the opportunity to aggravate his injuries.
Jiu You caught up to Blood Lord like his shadow, and got ready to kill him when the opportunity presented itself.
However, Blood Lord bounced into the air once he touched the ground. He attacked with his palm behind his back without even looking.
His blood energy surged and formed a blood skeleton, and it then charged towards Jiu You with blood all over its body.
Bang!
Jiu You was still in the air, so it could not gather any strength. The skeleton hit it and knocked it back right away.
Chu Xun grew anxious immediately. He had spent all his True Energy, so he could not use his divine sense to communicate with Jiu You.
“Don’t worry, Chu Xun. I’m fine... This bastard hit me hard...” Jiu You said in its tender, childlike voice.
“Jiu You is injured! Is it really bad?” Chu Xun thought anxiously.
“Show your face, Chu Xun...”
Blood Lord growled and slapped with his palm.
Boom!
A tree as thick as two people’s arm lengths was broken horizontally in the middle.
Bang!
Another giant rock exploded. Its debris flew all over the place.
The blood energy was still surging and the terrifying blood skeleton was attacking all over the place. One palm signet was released after another.
Boom! Boom!
All plants and rocks around Blood Lord within a hundred meters were destroyed. More pits appeared on the ground after multiple explosions and mud splattered all over the place.
Chu Xun was first shocked, then he turned happy as a thought appeared in his mind, “Blood Lord is blind now.”
“Chu Xun, this guy is blind,” Jiu You said.
Chu Xun was unable to communicate with it, so he nodded even though he did not know if Jiu You could see him.
“Don’t make any sound, Chu Xun. If he continues being like this, his cultivation will eventually be drained no matter how powerful he is. We should fight him then,” Jiu You said in its childlike voice.
Chu Xun nodded again. He shared the same thought as Jiu You.
Boom! Boom!
The forest was filled with Blood Lord’s horrifying screaming. His surroundings kept exploding as he kept attacking with his palms. The entire ground was shaking.
Chu Xun took this chance to calm his mind and recover his True Energy.
He did not figure out why Blood Lord suddenly turned blind, but he was sure that Jiu You caused it. His body is as tough as black iron and a whip of its tail could break the toughest metal. When Jiu You cracked Blood Lord’s skull with its tail, the nerves in his brain that controlled his vision might be broken, rendering him blind.
No matter what, Chu Xun was glad that luck was in his favor again. After all, luck is part of one’s strength.
