Chapter 42: Four Blood Exchanges, A Lone Hero!
Chapter 42: Four Blood Exchanges, A Lone Hero!
Zhao Chuanxiong had no intention of becoming bait...
The risk was too great, and how could one fish without bait?
Even if the bait was bitten, it would still be severely injured!
"Blood Exchange... You're actually a Blood Exchange..."
Under the terrifying fist wind of the Ox Demon, the boy's mask shattered into pieces, flying and slicing through the air.
Zhao Chuanxiong's face turned crimson, like a wooden stake, as the Ox Demon's punch drove him into the ground. Kneeling on the ground, his kneecaps had already shattered, and the cruciate ligaments of his crossed legs were broken and shattered!
Blood seeped from his chest, and fragments of the shattered fine iron blade were embedded in his sunken chest cavity, with flesh and organs mangled and ribs nearly visible!
Just one move...
Just a single move!
The Ox Demon had become stronger again!
The first time they met, the Ox Demon had just entered the Bone Tempering stage and faced their combined attack with the Bagua Stick, yet he still had to flee to save his life.
The second time, although they didn't see each other, the Bagua Stick had already been brutally killed, proving that the Ox Demon's strength had reached Perfect Bone Tempering...
And now, the Ox Demon had undergone Blood Exchange!
Each time, his strength took a leap!
The Bone Tempering Eightfold Gate!
Many warriors needed eight years to temper their bones before they were eligible to attempt Blood Exchange. Moreover, it was said that the "Thousand-Day Blood Exchange" took a full three years to progress from Perfect Bone Tempering to Blood Exchange.
Even a genius couldn't achieve such a terrifying breakthrough within a year!
"Who are you...?"
"Who are you?!"
Zhao Chuanxiong spat out blood, his eyes fixed on the cute bull mask.
The cuter the mask, the colder his heart became.
He couldn't recognize...
He couldn't recognize him at all! If he were a warrior from Thunderstrike City, such progress couldn't be hidden. The entire city would have known by now, and even the aristocratic families would go crazy over it! But there was no news of this person in the entire Thunderstrike City.
Li Che looked at Zhao Chuanxiong indifferently, without responding. His cold eyes were like two sharp blades on a winter day.
The arm that had smashed Zhao Chuanxiong's chest withdrew, pulling out the blood-soaked blade, and was about to strike again.
The terrifying power of the Blood Exchange warrior, another punch, Zhao Chuanxiong believed would be his death!
"The fish is hooked! Save me!!!"
Zhao Chuanxiong roared, his breath like thunder, as if he wanted to expel all the air he had left in his life!
The sound reverberated around like a thunderclap!
Li Che's eyes beneath the mask showed no emotion.
As expected, Zhao Chuanxiong was just bait, a bait to lure him in, and Si Mu Bai, together with the Spirit Infants Sect... the one they wanted to eliminate the most was actually him.
In Thunderstrike City, under the control of the Spirit Infants Sect, this Ox Demon wanted to take a breath of freedom.
After shouting, Zhao Chuanxiong exhausted all his strength and rolled into the snow, intending to escape.
He was afraid.
The Ox Demon's unmoving eyes made Zhao Chuanxiong fearful.
He knew...
The Ox Demon had known all along... that this was a trap to lure him in!
Damn it!
Zhao Chuanxiong had misjudged the Ox Demon's determination to kill him...
Why was it so intense?
What kind of grudge, what kind of hatred?
Just because they had suppressed him in Liu's courtyard with the Bagua Stick, the Ox Demon held such a grudge?
The Ox Demon's massive and sturdy body, yet his heart held such resentment!
Li Che looked indifferently at Zhao Chuanxiong rolling in the snow, and his bloodstained palm suddenly rose, his fingers curled into a hook, as if chalk was being rubbed harshly on a blackboard, creating an ear-piercing sound like thunder!
In the darkness, the nearly invisible silver threads suddenly snapped.
Between the snap and tremble, the air exploded, wailing like a ghost's cry!
Puchi!
On the ground...
Scalding blood instantly sprayed three feet high!
Zhao Chuanxiong's head and neck... tore apart, his eyes wide with shock and bewilderment.
Why? Why?
Even in death, Zhao Chuanxiong still felt infinite resentment and anger!
At this moment, Zhao Chuanxiong hated Si Mu Bai the most!
He had endured for so long, why force him to his death?!!
You, Si Mu Bai, use Zhao Chuanxiong's life as bait!
Damn it!
Fine threads flowed, carrying round blood beads.
Between the snap and tremble, the blood beads exploded into a blood mist.
Thousand Spider Silks!
The burly Ox Demon's body was surrounded by countless silver threads that intertwined like electric currents, lashing the air and tearing through the drifting snowflakes.
His spine stood tall, like a dragon's angry roar, and his life energy surged forth from his pores, coiling around his body like a fierce python.
Beneath the mask, his eyes were as calm as water.
There, three figures stood on the rooftop, wearing various child masks with different expressions. The air was filled with an intense and chilling atmosphere.
A little further away, a cold and indifferent figure stood without a mask, holding a fine iron bow. The bow was intricately carved with exquisite patterns. His eyes were cold and sharp, and he tilted his head, gazing at the Ox Demon's formidable physique.
The next moment, the bow was drawn to a full moon, the bowstring vibrating, and the life energy surged like a coiled dragon in the dark night sky!
The might was overwhelming!
Li Che recognized this person! It was Si Mu Bai's assistant, whom Li Che had seen when he first met Si Mu Bai at the Golden Radiance Pavilion.
Si Mu Bai's capable assistant, the Blood Exchange Warrior, Guo Zhan!
Four of them! A total of four Blood Exchange Warriors!
Such a lineup showed how much importance they attached to this mission. Among them, the one standing far away, drawing the bow and shooting arrows, was none other than Guo Zhan, a Blood Exchange Perfected Warrior!
Just the act of drawing the bowstring made the air seem to freeze, giving Li Che a chilling feeling. It was as if he had been targeted by a ferocious beast in the wild!
Compared to these four, Zhao Chuanxiong was like a small fry next to a powerful sorcerer.
"Si Mu Bai... He really values me."
Li Che narrowed his eyes, facing the four Blood Exchange Warriors without fear. Instead, he felt a different kind of excitement.
In his chest, the Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit pulsed wildly, like a turbulent heart. It seemed to yearn for this battle.
The next moment, he stomped heavily, causing a mixture of mud and snow to explode and then fall like a curtain. The Dragon Elephant Dao Fruit throbbed, driven to its limit!
With his current body refinement at the Perfect Bone Tempering realm, and under the Vajra Transformation, he could unleash the power of a Blood Exchange Perfected Warrior...
His back arched, and nine thick tendons rose like nine raging serpents, guarding his spine. His bones, tempered by the Tiger Bone Tempering Method, were like the ribs of a ferocious tiger, bursting with infinite strength!
"The battlefield... can't be here."
Behind him was his own compound.
Zhang Ya was still holding Xixi inside, and if the battle affected them, the arrows of the Blood Exchange Perfected Warrior would be like a sweeping machine gun, too dangerous! Li Che's heart raced, and his body shot forward, darting towards another part of Xu Ji's compound.
"You want to run?"
"After killing Zhao Chuanxiong and taking the bait, you still want to leave?"
Three Blood Exchange Warriors from the Spirit Infant Sect, their voices echoing between the walls, sounding both sad and angry.
Inside Xu Ji's compound, as the lights went out one by one, many woodcarvers secretly watched but dared not intervene...
Interfering in a Blood Exchange Warrior's battle meant certain death.
Li Che's speed burst forth with unmatched power. He stomped his feet, shattering the rain and snow and crushing the air! With a few jumps, he was already far away.
But the Blood Exchange Warriors were also extraordinary, quickly catching up to the Ox Demon!
After Zhao Chuanxiong's death, they had to kill the Ox Demon and bring his head to account for their mission; otherwise, they would face the wrath of a Divine Catcher.
In the pitch-black night, rain mixed with snow lashed down. The darkness was deep, and no light could be seen.
Yet, five balls of life energy, like crimson lanterns, raced through the dark sky.
Within the narrow alleys of Xu Ji's compound, a chaotic chase ensued!
...
...
Outside Xu Ji's Woodcarving Shop.
In the dark alley, rain and snow fell, chilling the world.
An old man's ears twitched, listening to the chaotic sounds coming from Xu Ji's Woodcarving Shop, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Ox Demon..."
"A lone hero in this city? Interesting..."
The old man smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.
At the other end of the street, the sound of wind and snow was suddenly drowned out by footsteps on the bluestone ground. The sound of shoes scraping against the bricks was like the beat of a drum.
The old man's eyebrows furrowed in displeasure.
He gently patted the child, Lu Chi, who was standing in the dark alley with his Naozha braids and eyes wide like copper bells.
