My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1598: What Unexpected Change Occurred?
The red-clad girl quickly noticed Xiao Zheng’s anomaly. She opened her eyes to see that the entire pool of blood was in chaos, and Xiao Zheng’s whole body was trembling, his face pale, breaking out in cold sweat, with his brows tightly knitted in pain.
"Hmm?"
The red-clad girl frowned, asking, "What’s happening? Did something unexpected occur while he was absorbing the blood pool’s energy?"
The red-clad girl pondered for a moment, "It must be due to the absorption of the blood pool’s energy. Otherwise, why would he turn out this way when he was fine before? Moreover, this has nothing to do with a breakthrough in realm."
Being someone who had ascended step by step from the Martial Saint Realm herself, the red-clad girl knew very well what a breakthrough looked like. Xiao Zheng’s current state was definitely not a breakthrough but an encounter with some danger.
"How can I help him?" the red-clad girl wondered inwardly. Finally, seeing that the energy in the blood pool was still chaotically surging into Xiao Zheng’s body, a decisive look flashed in her eyes.
"Block his absorption of the blood pool’s energy!"
"No matter what situation he is in, the blood pool’s energy is definitely the key issue. Right now, externally, the only way to perhaps help him is to block the absorption of the blood pool’s energy."
The red-clad girl was decisive by nature. After making her decision, she focused on starting to absorb the energy from the blood pool. In an instant, with a booming sound, the entire blood pool began to boil, and the energy from the blood pool, seemingly endowed with its own will, joyfully surged into her body.
Inside Xiao Zheng, the black shadow was devouring the blood pool’s energy in large gulps. Perceiving the change occurring outside, it was startled and wanted to snatch the energy with the red-clad girl, but failed.
Through the red-clad girl’s absorption, the blood pool’s energy gained immense strength. Even though the black shadow displayed extremely strong suction, the energy could easily break free and rush toward the red-clad girl.
Thus, within just a moment, the entire situation in the blood pool changed dramatically. All of the energy left Xiao Zheng and surged toward the red-clad girl.
Even with both the black shadow and a golden sphere within him, there was no way to interrupt this process.
"As expected."
The red-clad girl murmured softly.
As the Netherworld King of the Blood Clan, the opening of this ancient blood pool used her blood as the medium. Naturally, the energy in the blood pool had a sense of affinity toward her.
Once she made up her mind to actively absorb it, the energy in the blood pool obeyed her command, eagerly rushing to her like soldiers rallying to a general’s call.
"I hope I didn’t judge incorrectly," the red-clad girl thought to herself.
At this moment, to handle the blood pool energy surging toward her frantically, she couldn’t afford to be distracted by anything else. She focused entirely, immersing herself within her own body.
When Xiao Zheng sensed the change outside, he was overjoyed!
"Great!"
"What perfect timing, hahaha." Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. Now, the blood pool’s energy could no longer be absorbed, rendering the black shadow unable to expand further and forcing it to remain as it was.
"No wonder she’s the Netherworld King, her judgment and decisiveness are unlike anyone else’s," Xiao Zheng secretly admired in his heart.
Recalling earlier, when he was absorbing the blood pool energy, the Netherworld King never competed with him. Yet, when he encountered danger and couldn’t control the blood pool energy, the Netherworld King expended effort to divert all the energy; he was genuinely moved.
Moreover—
"Now that she has started absorbing the blood pool energy, even with the black shadow and the golden sphere inside me, they can’t compete with her. This shows that earlier, when she didn’t compete with me, it wasn’t that she couldn’t—she simply chose not to."
Xiao Zheng thought to himself, "She’s genuinely looking out for me..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng’s heart was even more moved. However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on these thoughts; after pondering for a moment, he focused all his attention on the black shadow, his expression sharpening.
"Hmph, Legacy Wound, since you’ve appeared this time, how could I let you escape again? This time, I’ll obliterate you completely!"
Boom!
With those words, Xiao Zheng mobilized all his strength, the golden torrent roared, and the gang qi within him surged, all rushing toward the black shadow.
Boom boom!
In an instant, all the energy Xiao Zheng could muster concentrated around the black shadow, enveloping it from all directions.
The black shadow was extremely furious, intending to take this opportunity to develop and expand itself. Unexpectedly, just moments later, all the blood pool’s energy was taken away.
Roar!
The black shadow couldn’t help but let out a furious roar.
Xiao Zheng was startled, "I originally suspected this black shadow had its own consciousness; now it seems its intelligence level is becoming higher and higher." With that thought, Xiao Zheng’s killing intent intensified.
Boom boom!
The golden torrent, like monstrous waves, surged toward the black shadow. The gang qi within him howled, encircling the black shadow’s gang qi and cutting off its retreat.
The black shadow took on a humanoid form, and when a golden fist came crashing towards it, it struck back with its own punch, instantly shattering the golden torrent. When the gang qi within Xiao Zheng blocked its retreat, it chopped it down with a vertical kick, splitting the gang qi!
Whoosh!
Breaking through the encirclement, the black shadow no longer lingered. It rushed outward, clearly unwilling to continue the battle and instead sought to retreat back into the depths of Xiao Zheng’s body to hide.
"Trying to escape?"
Xiao Zheng sneered, "You’ve already manifested, and you still want to run? I’m not the same as I was before!"
With a thought, the gang liquid within Xiao Zheng began rotating rapidly. A majestic gang qi burst forth from the gang liquid, reaching the black shadow’s position and transforming into a giant sword, radiating brilliant golden light and sharp sword qi, slashing down suddenly!
The black shadow roared in anger, forced to raise its hands to block. The collision resulted in an earth-shattering noise, causing the black shadow to be thrown backward while the golden greatsword shattered into pieces.
"Golden Bone!"
Xiao Zheng shouted.
The power from the Golden Bone turned into a golden torrent, now transforming into a form similar to the black shadow, charging toward it, and exhibiting exquisite moves to engage it in combat.
Xiao Zheng was momentarily stunned to see this. He had never fully mastered the Golden Bone yet didn’t expect it to exhibit such supernatural power, comparable to the black shadow!
