As Gu Lan's gaze moved forward, a terrifying wave of blood energy surged around him.
The Blood Master, with a dim expression, was filled with murderous intent, closing in on him at an alarming speed. The Blood Master's movements were so fast that the entire world seemed to shatter with each step he took.
The space around them exploded with violent cracks as both Gu Lan and the Blood Master were consumed by a dark void. Surrounded by this abyss, Gu Lan raised his sword and struck.
With a single swing, he shattered the blood light that came toward him. But what shocked Gu Lan was that the Blood Master had prepared an ambush. The attack didn't injure him at all. Instead, Gu Lan was sent flying by a fist, pushed back over a hundred feet.
"Boom!" Gu Lan was forced to steady himself after retreating a hundred feet. Though he was not severely wounded, his body felt a sharp pain. His arm was numb from the impact, and the sword energy he had released earlier had long since dissipated.
