Everyone present looked at Gu Shuyu. Seeing that he was injured, their expressions kept changing.
Lei Qianren finally could not help but frown. He said worriedly, “Is Gu Shuyu going to let go of Shen Ran just like that?”
Zhou Ziran sensed a hint of uneasiness.
Shen Ran looked coldly at these people with ulterior motives and glanced at Gu Shuyu. He said indifferently, “Move aside.”
Gu Shuyu was filled with hatred, and his face was twisted.
Shen Ran’s expression was indifferent as he glanced at everyone again.
He naturally saw some fear in their eyes and sneered. “You still won’t move aside?”
No one answered.
The palace remained silent.
These people refused to leave, but no one dared to attack either. The two sides were in a deadlock.
Gu Shuyu finally recovered some internal energy and stood up straight. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he said in a low voice, “You’re the first person who forced me to use a forbidden technique.”
“It seems that you do have something that lives up to the name of the Empyrean Sword Sect’s Dao Seed.” Gu Shuyu’s tone was flat and filled with coldness. Then he said word by word, “However, you still have to die when you meet me.”
As soon as Gu Shuyu finished speaking, a pale hand stretched out. His well-defined fingers suddenly exerted strength and grabbed at the void.
A black gourd appeared in Gu Shuyu’s hand.
The moment the gourd appeared, the surrounding aura was instantly suppressed.
Everyone felt a tightness in their chests and their expressions changed.
Zhou Ziran quickly recognized the thing in Gu Shuyu’s hand. His eyes widened and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s a Blood Gourd.”
“An Emperor-Realm artifact that only the King Realm experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect possess! The Blood Gourd is refined with endless resentment and vengeful spirits. There are blood demons condensed from endless resentment and baleful aura inside. Once it’s used, blood will definitely be seen. It’s extremely troublesome. Once it’s entangled, even an Emperor Realm cultivator will die from exhaustion.”
When Zhou Ziran saw the Blood Gourd, his shock turned to surprise, and then he gradually revealed an excited expression.
Once he took out the Blood Gourd, Shen Ran would definitely die this time!
Since the Heavenly Demon Sect had invested so much in Gu Shuyu, they actually gave him a king-level Dharma treasure!
Zhou Ziran’s eyes burned. He was completely at ease with the current situation.
Although Shen Ran had a trump card to resist Gu Shuyu, he could not escape this time.
Once the Blood Demon refined in the Blood Gourd was used, Shen Ran would either be strangled on the spot or exhausted to death.
Even if he escaped from the mystic realm, the Blood Demon would go after him all the way.
Lei Qianren had also heard a little about the Blood Gourd. Although it was completely black, he could see through the light that it was actually covered in many complicated array formations.
Rather than calling this Blood Gourd a Dharma treasure, it was more appropriate to say that it was a supreme suppression divine artifact.
Endless fanatical flames burned in Lei Qianren’s eyes.
Xu Liangfeng and Zhao Shiqiu were shocked when they saw the Blood Gourd.
They had only heard of the strange and powerful Blood Gourd but had never really seen it.
With just a glance, the two of them felt an illusion appear in front of them. A blood demon rushed at them, making them shiver.
“Is this a king-level artifact? How powerful…” Xu Liangfeng couldn’t help but mutter.
“This time, Shen Ran won’t be able to escape death,” Zhao Shiqiu said in an unstable tone.
Chen Beixuan, who had nowhere to vent his anger, immediately felt relieved when he saw the Blood Gourd Gu Shuyu took out.
In his previous life, not long after Gu Shuyu left the mystic realm and advanced to the Emperor Realm, he led the Heavenly Demon Sect to sweep through all the cultivators who disobeyed the Heavenly Demon Sect.
At that time, Gu Shuyu was mighty. Even a ninth level Emperor Realm cultivator was tortured to death by the Blood Demons released.
It was obvious how powerful and strange this Dharma treasure was.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shuyu took out this Dharma treasure so early.
Chen Beixuan was completely relieved. Shen Ran, aren’t you going to die this time?!
Chen Beixuan had a smug expression on his face, waiting to see Shen Ran refined into this Blood Gourd and reduced to a wisp of resentment.
Only then could he resolve the hatred in his heart.
Shen Ran also felt the horror of the Blood Gourd. He frowned and looked solemn.
He quickly opened the Ancient Immortal Eyes and saw the Blood Demon refined in the black gourd.
This Blood Demon was an unconscious ball of vengeful aura. From the day the Heavenly Demon Sect was born, countless souls had been refined into it. It was unknown if there were hundreds of millions or hundreds of thousands of souls inside.
The baleful aura was similar to the Netherworld True Scripture.
However, there was still a gap between the two.
One was refined, and the other vibrated with the power of heaven and earth.
Gu Shuyu grabbed the Blood Gourd tightly with one pale hand, his expression extremely strange. He looked at Shen Ran with a sinister smile and quickly chanted an incantation.
The Blood Gourd began to shake violently, and the array formation covering it was crazily smashed, producing images.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
The blood demons inside had been awakened and became violent.
Sensing that the Blood Demon was about to appear, everyone turned pale and retreated.
The Blood Demon was dangerous enough to stop them from taking risks.
Gu Shuyu sneered again and said word by word, “Shen Ran, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the Heavenly Flame and kowtow to apologize. Otherwise, you’ll die a miserable death.”
Shen Ran’s eyes narrowed. He had already used his eye technique to see the situation inside the gourd clearly.
The Blood Demon inside was an intersecting black and red baleful mass, already half-activated. That was what made it so terrifying.
Beside him, Xiao Han’s eyes widened when he saw the Blood Gourd.
“Elder Yan, is this Blood Gourd really so powerful?” Xiao Han couldn’t help but ask.
Elder Yan nodded and said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect Gu Shuyu to stoop to taking out the Blood Gourd directly to defeat Shen Ran.”
“How powerful is it?” Xiao Han didn’t know much about the Blood Gourd.
However, he was a little curious when he saw that the surrounding people were afraid.
Elder Yan continued to explain, “This Blood Gourd is a king-level Dharma treasure that has been refined every day since the birth of the Heavenly Demon Sect. It has been at least 100,000 years. Moreover, the resentful aura refined inside is the most ferocious and violent in the world. Every master has to be fed with blood essence to make him stronger and subsequently it would acknowledge him as its master.”
“Normally, this kind of Dharma treasure is used to deal with stronger Emperor Realm experts. Even ninth level Emperor Realm experts would retreat when they see it.”
Elder Yan couldn’t help but sigh again. “I didn’t expect it to be used to deal with Shen Ran.”
This was enough to show Shen Ran’s true ability.
A mere fifth level Illumination Realm cultivator could actually force the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect into such a state.
Elder Yan’s expression was complicated. For a moment, his judgment of Shen Ran was vague.
At this moment, everyone in the palace was holding their breaths and looking extremely nervous.
Gu Shuyu did not waste any more time. “Since you’re unwilling to hand over the Heavenly Flame, then you have to die.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Demon in the gourd quickly broke the array formation seal like a ghost. A streak of bloody light flashed.
