Chapter 255: Blood Refinement Sword Qi Enters the Body
“Hey, how could I miss out on picking up money with this bunch of guys?”
Through the Military Telescope, Ye Huan clearly saw the movements of Weiyang and the others. A green light flickered in his eyes as he muttered and rushed toward their direction. He didn’t seem like a Cultivator who had just gone through a fierce battle and exhausted all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in his Summoning Book. Instead, he resembled a hungry beast, moving with incredible speed, his legs alternating rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he covered over a hundred meters, completely oblivious to the three corpses lying on the Ground between him and Weiyang.
As he got closer, when Ye Huan finally noticed the three bodies on the Ground with his naked eye, he was unable to stop in time due to his speed. His legs kept moving like clockwork; there was no complete braking system like that of a military Hummer. Just as he intended to leap over the distance, a flash of crimson suddenly caught Ye Huan’s attention.
“What is that…”
His face filled with confusion, Ye Huan initially thought he was mistaken upon seeing the red color on the Ground. Instinctively, he reached out to rub his eyes. However, in that moment of distraction, he ended up kicking one of the corpses hard in the waist while running at high speed. He lost his balance and fell heavily onto the Ground, rolling over in a spectacular 1080-degree flip—exactly three times.
Due to the absence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in his body, after such a fall and several rolls, Ye Huan felt dizzy and disoriented. It took him quite some time to gather himself and rise from the Ground.
Shaking his still-dizzy head and ignoring any potential injuries on his body, Ye Huan struggled to stand up and quickly returned to where he had fallen, meticulously searching for that flash of crimson he had seen earlier.
“Found it! It really is Blood Refinement Sword Qi! It truly is Blood Refinement Sword Qi…”
Thanks to the fact that red is an extremely conspicuous color, it didn’t take long for Ye Huan to find what he had seen earlier next to one of the female corpses. That flash of crimson belonged to Luo Yufeng’s Blood Refinement Sword Qi used during their earlier confrontation.
Staring intently at the blood-red long sword that was indistinguishable from a real Flying Sword, Ye Huan felt an unusual excitement at the thought of the power of Blood Refinement Sword Qi. Just as he reached out to touch it, a question popped into his mind, causing his hand to hover in place. He murmured to himself, "How strange, how could Blood Refinement Sword Qi appear here? Luo Yufeng should be dead! Could it be..."
Doubting whether Luo Yufeng was truly dead, Ye Huan hurriedly glanced around and soon realized that what had tripped him was indeed the corpse of Luo Yufeng. Aside from a complete head and skeleton, all that remained was a pile of minced flesh, making it impossible to discern her original figure. It was no wonder Ye Huan hadn't recognized her immediately.
He cautiously extended two fingers to check for any breath from Luo Yufeng. After confirming that she was utterly lifeless, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and without thinking, moved next to the Blood Refinement Sword Qi and grasped the hilt of the Flying Sword formed from it.
Bang! As if an object formed from some kind of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy had been crushed by sheer force, the moment Ye Huan tightened his grip on the Flying Sword made from Blood Refinement Sword Qi, there was a loud explosion, and the Flying Sword shattered into pieces, transforming into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that surged into Ye Huan's body.
"Ahhh!!"
A scream erupted as Ye Huan felt a sensation akin to being pricked by needles coursing through him. His meridians felt as if they were being torn apart. If he weren't a Cultivator and also a Summoner, he would have been torn to shreds by the Blood Refinement Sword Qi. Yet even with his extraordinary physique, large beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he gritted his teeth and endured.
At the same time, Weiyang and others who were rummaging through the corpses of Nine Yin Cave disciples heard Ye Huan's scream. They hurriedly dropped what they were doing and rushed toward the source of the sound. Among them, Weiyang, a Quadruple Element Mage, was the fastest. In just a moment, he reached Ye Huan's side and exclaimed, "Ye Huan, are you okay?"
"Do I look okay to you? Can't you use your eyes?"
Rolling his eyes at Weiyang, Ye Huan cursed out loud in pain, wishing he could just pass out right then and there; feeling no pain would surely be better than this agony.
Embarrassedly scratching his head, it was unclear whether Weiyang was genuinely clueless or taking revenge. Regardless, after Ye Huan's outburst, Weiyang conjured a level six wind magic spell that formed a giant blue hand. He struck hard at the back of Ye Huan's neck, knocking him unconscious.
As Ye Huan fell into another deep sleep after three months of unconsciousness, sensing the bloody aura emanating from him, Weiyang wasted no time. He hoisted Ye Huan and returned to where the bodies of the Nine Yin Cave disciples lay. At that moment, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon had just flown into midair with Zhao Ziyu.
Carefully laying Ye Huan down on the ground, everyone noticed something different about him without Weiyang needing to say a word. To put it metaphorically, three months ago before absorbing Holy Dragon blood, Ye Huan was like water—calm yet occasionally stirring up ripples. But now, after waking up from three months of slumber, he resembled mist—impossible to discern his thoughts. Currently, the bloody aura radiating from him made him feel like ice; anyone near him would feel as if they had fallen into an icy abyss. The only one unaffected by this chill was likely the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon hatched from Ye Huan's blood.
After carefully examining Ye Huan, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon pondered for a moment before turning to Weiyang and asking, "Weiyang, what happened to Ye Huan?"
"I don't know either. When I heard Ye Huan's scream and rushed over, he was emanating a strong smell of blood all over his body..."
Weiyang recounted everything that had transpired during his encounter with Ye Huan in detail, even admitting that he had knocked Ye Huan unconscious without holding anything back. He concluded with, "By the way, at the place where I knocked Ye Huan out, there were also the bodies of Luo Yufeng, Jiang Tingyu, and Wen Ziran."
"Luo Yufeng?"
As soon as the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon heard the name 'Luo Yufeng,' he immediately connected it with Blood Refinement Sword Qi. His brow furrowed as he uttered two words: "This is bad..."
