I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1495 - 1494: Exchanging the Pearl for the Box
Roar roar roar!!!
The Blood Transformation Lotus vanished without a trace. The beast linked to its life immediately sensed that it had been taken by thieves, and roared furiously.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Blood-red lines continuously emerged from its three bodies. These lines intersected and formed a miniature western-style killing formation in the air. Accompanied by its furious roars, the formation descended fiercely from the sky, enveloping the surrounding three miles.
Roar roar roar!!!
As its frenzied roars echoed again, within the blood-red killing formation, blood-red flames rose. These flames, upon their appearance, emitted terrifying power. Even the space itself crackled under the burning force of this horrifying flame power.
"Ah! No, I am still young, I don’t want to die..."
"Master, save me!"
"Ah! My arm, my arm is gone..."
Under the burning of these terrifying blood-red flames, the forces from the City Lord Mansion and City Guardian Mansion, except for the two leaders, were all slaughtered and incinerated completely, with even their storage bags burnt away, leaving no trace or residue.
"Break it for me!" Seeing this scene, although the white-clothed masked man desperately wanted to devour the black-clothed young woman, the terrifying scene before him couldn’t be borne even with protective talismans. He exerted all his strength, commanding the crescent-shaped jade pendant in the air to cleave forward.
Crack!
A six-foot opening appeared. The white-clothed masked man ignored everything else, rolled up the crescent-shaped talisman treasure, and using a certain escape skill, rushed in one direction.
Roar!
Seeing the white-clothed masked man fleeing in a panic, the three beasts roared, their blood-red eyes fixated on the black-clothed young woman, exuding murderous intent. Their figures blurred briefly, rapidly attacking the black-clothed young woman.
"Humph! You think you can kill me? You are not qualified!" The black-clothed young woman snorted coldly.
With a sweep of the gold long spear in hand, nine mystical runes unfurled from the spear and seemed to fly out backward. Finishing this, she didn’t even glance at the three beasts rushing toward her, merely flipped her palm, and with an invisible smile tugging at her lips beneath her mask, adhered a white Wind Escape Talisman to her body.
Whiz!
Her figure flashed swiftly, speeding through the opening created by the white-clothed masked man, disappearing in a few blinks.
Roar roar roar!!!
Seeing the thief who stole their life-bound Spiritual Medicine escape, the three beasts roared in unison, pounding their two fist-sized fists against their chests intensely. In a flash, the three figures merged into an enormous giant two zhang tall, their bodies surrounded by flashing blood-red radiance, transforming into a streak of blood light that chased after the disappearing black-clothed young woman.
"So it is!" Zhang Xiaohao frowned, saying.
"Brother Xu, what’s wrong?" Zi Wuling asked curiously.
Just a moment ago, she was continuously using her Innate Divine Ability, not daring to send her Divine Thought out to explore the situation outside. She was unaware of everything happening outside, hence her question.
"The Blood Transformation Lotus was snatched by people from the City Guardian Mansion! The beast guarding the Blood Transformation Lotus has already chased after them!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"Ah! Brother Xu, what should we do? Should we go after them?" Zi Wuling asked urgently.
"Hm? Wait a moment, someone seems to be coming back." Zhang Xiaohao furrowed his brow, retracting his intended step.
After a while, the figure of the white-clothed masked man flashed back to the vicinity of the lotus pond, face pale.
"Hahaha—! A bunch of fools, no matter how they fight over it, it’s just a counterfeit Blood Transformation Lotus, not even having one-tenth the medicinal power of the genuine one! The true Blood Transformation Lotus is hidden at the bottom of the lotus pond, and only when the counterfeit above is taken away will it truly emerge! By then, it will be time for its genuine metamorphosis!" The white-clothed masked man laughed proudly to the sky.
After laughing, the white-clothed masked man turned around, looking at the direction behind him.
"I know you haven’t left, come out!" The white-clothed masked man sneered.
"Brother Xu, he noticed us, what should we do now?" Zi Wuling inquired.
"Let’s go! It’s time to meet him face to face." Zhang Xiaohao replied.
Saying so, he cast Wind Spirit Technique upon himself and Zi Wuling, and the two walked outside.
A moment later, Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling’s figures stopped ten steps away from the white-clothed masked man.
"Just as I suspected, you hid nearby!" The white-clothed masked man sneered coldly upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling.
"I didn’t expect you to hide so deeply; if I am correct, it was intentional, wasn’t it?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"Humph! A bunch of useless ones. Without employing some tactics to lead them away, how could I, Bai Yi, acquire the true Blood Transformation Lotus!" The white-clothed masked man scoffed.
"I am curious, how did you know about the Blood Transformation Lotus?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Since you are about to die, I’ll tell you. When I was at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, I was fortunate enough to acquire an unusual book. Although incomplete, it introduced some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including the Blood Transformation Lotus, which is how I found out!" The white-clothed masked man explained.
After finishing, his gaze flickered onto Zi Wuling, retreating three steps in shock.
"You, you are Lady Wuling?" The white-clothed masked man exclaimed in disbelief.
"I, I am not!" Zi Wuling quickly denied.
"Lady Wuling, don’t rush to deny it. You should know that while we Mu Ye Clan members might not have as strong innate abilities as the Spirit Clan, some are born with mutation, possessing peculiar talents. My innate divine ability happens to be remembering a person’s aura! No matter how they change, I can recognize them!" The white-clothed masked man explained.
"Since you recognize me, why aren’t you kneeling? Do you dare to defy me?" Zi Wuling’s demeanor changed, transforming from a fragile maiden to a commanding princess.
"Hahaha—! Lady Wuling, I think your sweet dreams aren’t waking just yet! If this were Ming Han Snow City, I wouldn’t dare disrespect you even if I had ten times the courage! But here in the Grotto Heaven of the Blood Domain Cold Pond, if I want to do something, as long as it’s beautifully executed, who would know afterward? Besides, Lady Wuling is alluring, a beauty without match, the number one beauty within ten thousand miles of Ming Han Snow City, and I am just a normal man long yearning to savor such grace!" The white-clothed masked man laughed slily.
