Chapter 70: Bloodline condensation

Gu Lin Fang naturally heard Yan Li's scream and noticed her contorted face, it was obvious her mental health was far from stable. He couldn't help sneering at this kind of opponent, based on the memory he just got, he now knew the in's and out of the matter.

Based on what the world's system had set up, He had been using the party from the very beginning.

To state it more clearly, his target was Yang Shou, her elder brother. He had found out about Yan Shou holding an item that passively locates the passage of the ruins in the yellow plains.

This was an information Ma Xiao had found by accident, even the young Yan Li had no idea of her brother's secret.

At the time, he slowly warmed his way into the young girls heart and used it as a breakthrough point to attach himself to Yan Shou.

During their adventure in the ruin, the party was separated after he jumped to 'save' the falling Yan Shou, who happened to have fallen into a rather steep looking hole.

Of course before jumping, he was confident in saving himself.

Yan Li's cries could be heard from above as they 'fell'. Upon landing lightly, he ignored the groaning Yan Shou because his attention was drawn to something else.

It was a massive underground battlefield, shriveled corpses, webs and skeletons, but the most mysterious was the pure white skeleton at the center with it's left hand facing the sky, a folded sheepskin scroll in it's palms was rather conspicuous.

It was as though they had fought a bloody for the scroll, even the victor wasn't able to survive in the end.

After much inspection, he and Yan Shou decided to approach the unusually white skeleton and took the sheepskin scroll.

Upon studying it, they found it was containing some demonic cultivation method [Blood Demon Tao]!.

After a fierce argument they finally decided to settle accounts when they escape the ruins, too bad Yan Shou stupidly left the scroll with him.

As they tried to find the other two, he secretly began learning the technique.

By the time they all escaped from 'Red back' SI Chul, he was somewhat proficient in it's practice despite only being in the 2nd stage of the foundation building realm.

At the Inn, Yan Li had left to get some supplies when Yan Shou confronted him concerning the scroll. He didn't bother explaining or sharing and decided to use everyone's blood in the Inn as supplements with the help of Ma Xiao.

It was at this time that Yan Li walked in.

'Ma Xiao, where did such a useful tool go?'.

"Yan Li o Yan Li, I finally remember you... This is truly surprising, really surprising" Gu Lin Fang's laughter came suddenly, making Yan Li's actions stagnate. It was like she could see the scholarly youth from all those years ago.

Dazed for a second, she suddenly became angrier than ever but it was mostly because of her own feelings.

"Yan Li, why the long face? I know you must miss him very much... come!! Let me send you on your way!!!" Gu Lin Fang's expression got more twisted with every word, his eyes glowed with red ominous light and crazy grin played across his lips.

His cultivation pressure suddenly felt much thicker to those around him, it gave them a suffocating feeling.

"Ah!" The crowd gasped in shock, Sun Wu Tang fell to the ground upon feeling the [intimidating aura] that was subconsciously flowing out of Gu Lin Fang.

Yan Li burst out with a terrifying palm attack, her attack speed has always been her fort and it didn't take time for her to arrive in front of Gu Lin Fang.

Boom!!

No one saw what happened but the force of collision knocked them away, sand and debris flew everywhere.

Uah!!

Ugh!!

Unsurprisingly Gu Lin Ju and the carriage weren't affected, She was the first to recover as she was aware her safety must have been taken care of by her father. She charged at Sun Wu Tang, the latter squealed unnaturally and ran away with his tail between his legs.

Same went for the few other weaker ones that participated in the ambush, but their fate had long been decided.

Gu Yu Xing and his men chased after them with murderous intent, even Gu Qin Feng found his blood boiling, he brought out his flute and began to play. A mysterious force floated out and spread out slowly, all the friendly units around him felt the force heal them slowly and increase their attack speed, albeit a little.

But it didn't stop Yu Xing's shock.

Gu Ji Wan was too focused on his battle with Song Ruyong and didn't bother to chase after the bloodthirsty girl. Luckily, Yu Xing chased after her shortly after, this made him sigh in relief as he could now fight comfortably.

The Cultivation Base of himself and his opponent, happened to be the same and almost felt evenly matched.

Song Ruyong slashed out with a saber, there was no fancy movement just a pure physical attack, but Gu Ji Wan palmed the side of the blade and it rang out loud like two swords clashing!.

Both parties retreated a few steps back, Song Ruyong's face changed drastically. He's someone who was confident to say that he knew the Gu clan's martial arts like the back of his hands but he couldn't find this in Gu Ji Wan, the latter just used simple brute force and he doesn't seem to be doing his best.

The battle of the four Nascent soul figures fought against each other in the air and land, the battle wasn't limited at all.

from time to time you could hear the sound of earth-shattering power collision, various lights shining, making people dazzled.

This attracted the attention of people in the city but unsurprisingly, no one came there.

Gu Qin Feng and others watched the battle from a very far distance without turning their eyes away from them, his expressions was filled with excitement.

Fatty Zhu turned his head and looked into the distance in a certain direction, his eyes flickering strangely, no one knew what he was thinking.

While thinking, he found that Jiang Qin's eyes were looking at him, and when the two of them made contact, the teenager nodded slightly.

Fatty Zhu smiled lightly, and then disappeared in a flash with his bloody Butcher knife.

"There are two Nascent soul experts in the Gu family?!!?!"

On a small Hill, deeper in the bamboo forest, two figures were hidden as they laid down on their tummy, discussing with muffled voices, they were watching the epic battle in the distance.

The man's eyes widened and his face was muttering to his female partner in disbelief.

Suddenly, they felt something on the back of their heads, and lost consciousness.

Fatty Zhu picked them up with a gleeful expression before moving towards another direction.

After a while, fatty Zhu was looking at three corpses and a sleeping lady on the ground, he then wiped the blood on his pants before opening the small papers he had seized during his interrogation.

These are just small pieces of intelligence gathered from this battle, It was as if the people from today were sacrificial lambs, to test the Gu clan.

Amongst the people he caught, two were from the Lu family, one from the Cui clan and another from Wu.

Unfortunately for them, fatty Zhu felt that things weren't that simple and decided to scout the area.

After setting the three corpses ablaze, he carefully inspected the surrounding area again, before heading back to the group with the female spy on his shoulder.

"BoOm!!!"

At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from the battle ground, Gu Yu Xing's expression changed slightly, and he looked behind him, and saw a Blood red mist in the shape of a giant snake descending from the sky.

It's arrogance was there for all to see as it's roar spread out wildly.

He could feel his blood pump widely, asking him to submit!!.

'Bloodline condensation?!!, So huge?...where is our bloodline from?' Just as he was feeling shock and trepidation, he heard Gu Lin Ju screaming 'Sun Wu Tang!! You Wudang filth!! Stop if you are a man?!! Stop for your mother!'.

This reminded him of what he had set out to do.

_____________

On a boat crossing the Qinshui lake, a middle aged man sat under the canopy of the boat's half ribs. He had a gentle smile on his face as he listened to the humming girl by his side.

This middle aged man was none other than Patriarch Bai, presently, he was headed to the Sun Desert faction's gathering ground on the island.

There were several other boats heading in the same direction at the moment.

He watched the scenery calmly as the boats moved at a slow pace, although there was no sign of the Gu clan yet.

News of the ambush had reached his ears at noon but he chose not to say anything because he also wished to know the Clan's depth.

Suddenly there was a huge explosion, accompanied by the views of a giant snake made of blood mist.

"Bloodline condensation?!!, What bloodline are they from?!! This is by no means one of those mediocre ..."

"Father?! What's that" Bai Fu Mei was shocked.

Seeing this, Patriarch Bai's eyes glinted strangely as he couldn't help thinking 'How deep is the Gu family's background really...so many things don't add up, but I guess they're worth the trouble now'.

Sitting atop the serpent's Head, Gu Lin Fang glared at the pale faced Yan Li as he sneered at her.

"Yan Li, that was exactly the face that Yan Shou had that very day...ah it brings back memories.

Feel honored that you would be the first person to die through this" honestly, Gu Lin Fang could have ended the battle long ago but he has been pulling his punches in order to bid time but gaining reputation has always been top priority.

He didn't even look like he had been in a fight and had barely used 20% of his Qi. All she has was her speed which was still very visible in Gu Lin Fang's eyes.

He was really disappointed this time, he was hoping for a tough fight, so he could test the full extent of his skills.

But from her first move, he knew that it was useless. A month ago, he might have been flustered but not now, with the amount of meridians he has unlocked added with the quality of his Martial arts, cultivation method and boost from his spirit roots?, She was never an opponent.

This allowed to understand more about this world's combat.

In the end, he decided to use this chance to test the newly unlocked bloodline skill he got upon reaching Mid Nascent soul realm.

This took another 60% of his Qi and a portion of his health as well.

Perhaps making an important decision, Yan Li brought out a black pill and attempted to swallow it.

"Mad woman!!" Song Ruyong was appalled and began making preparation to escape. He cursed himself for trying to show off, that's why he accepted the Lu clan's suggestions.

The massive size of the snake's body had the ground vibrating as it moved in Yan Li's direction.

It roared and the air vibrated, Yan Li's actions stagnated immediately and the pill fell to the ground.

She bent down quickly and scrambled to pick it up, It was obvious she wasn't in the right frame of mind. She kept shaking as she continued to pick and drop the pill.

'seems like her spirit stats is very low, so the impact is this much... interesting' the snake's massive head was now right above Yan Li.

She quickly noticed the shadow around and immediately felt her hairs stand on end. Looking up slowly, she saw the cold looking eyes of the snake as well as Gu Lin Fang's cold indifference.

The last thing she heard him say before she was swallowed up was,

"Know Despair"
