The Blood Demon Elder stood in the void, his wrinkled face displaying a hint of surprise as he observed the young man before him, who had not only survived but had shattered his attack. Although he had not used his full strength, delivering only a light blow, his power had already reached the Late Stage of the True Realm. It was impossible for someone at the True Realm Late Stage to withstand such an attack, let alone break it.
This young man was undoubtedly extraordinary; he must have cultivated a powerful Gongfa, otherwise, he could not possess such terrifying strength. With this thought, excitement flickered in the Elder's eyes. If he could obtain this Gongfa, his own strength would surely increase significantly.
In an instant, the Blood Demon Elder vanished from the void and reappeared before Yun Fan. Lying on the ground, Yun Fan felt a shiver run through him at the sight of such terrifying speed. Even with his Thunderous Step pushed to its limits, escape was impossible. With a bitter smile on his face, he realized that fighting was futile and running was out of the question; it seemed he was destined to die here.
The blood-robed elder regarded Yun Fan with a sinister smile, nodding repeatedly in admiration. "You, Ji Qingqing, have reached the True Realm Late Stage and comprehended the legendary Sword Intent. Truly remarkable! You are bound to become a top Heavenly Talent in the Great Qin Kingdom." Even the Old Man felt reluctant to kill him.
Hearing this, Yun Fan offered no resistance; after all, that would only hasten his demise. With a troubled expression and deep in thought, he gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee, declaring loudly, "I have drifted through life for half my days, regretting not having met a master. If you do not reject me, I wish to take you as my teacher. From now on, I will follow you into mountains or seas of fire without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Elder's lips twitched slightly, and a flicker of emotion crossed his wrinkled face. After all, this young man's talent was exceptional; he appeared to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old and had already reached the True Realm Late Stage while also being a Formation Master. If he could take him as a disciple and nurture him, he could indeed become a formidable force in the future and possibly break through to the Heavenly Realm—such a story would spread far and wide.
However, there was a fierce glint in Cang Lao's eyes. Having navigated through the Great Qin Kingdom for so long, how could he be swayed by mere words? This young man was clearly using flattery to save his own life; he did not genuinely wish to become his disciple. But Cang Lao had his own methods for dealing with this boy.
The Blood Demon Elder's fierce gaze quickly dissipated as he replaced it with a seemingly kind smile that still carried an air of menace.
"Take your time to think about it," the Blood Demon Elder said slowly. "Accepting you as my disciple is not out of the question, but you must first swallow this pill."
After speaking, he pulled out a blood-red pill from his robe and handed it over. Yun Fan took it and examined it closely for a moment, but couldn't discern anything unusual about it. However, a sense of dread crept into his heart; the pill given by the Blood Demon Elder was surely not something benign.
As if confirming his fears, the Blood Demon Elder's voice echoed ominously. "This pill is called the Bloodthirsty Pill. After taking it, you must seek the antidote from Old Man every half day. If you fail to obtain the antidote, your organs will begin to rot, spreading throughout your body until you are reduced to a puddle of blood."
"Don't think there’s any antidote that can save you if the effects of the Bloodthirsty Pill are triggered. The toxin will erupt prematurely, and your death will come even faster."
After delivering this chilling warning, the Blood Demon Elder fixed his sinister gaze on Yun Fan, urging him to take the pill immediately. It was clear that refusing would result in dire consequences.
