Chapter 274: Bloodline Spirit_2
Compared to this terrible predicament, the ability to finally regain freedom of movement caused them to let out cries of wild joy.
But at this moment, no one cared about their life or death.
Li Xunxue seemed to be engaged in a silent struggle with Fang Yu, and with a snap, she raised her hand to the arm that was choking her neck and slowly applied force.
-11!
-20!
-15!
As Li Xunxue applied force, scratch-like damage appeared on Fang Yu's arm.
But he just stared at Li Xunxue deathly.
"Just now, I heard Lord Li Baizhen's voice. Why can you produce his voice, where is he exactly!"
-0!
Li Xunxue stopped her movement.
Because she laughed.
She laughed wildly and unrestrainedly!
Releasing her grip, she pointed to her head with her finger.
"I'm right here, dear brother, that traitor is in my brain! Hee hee hee hee hee hee! Giggles! Hahaha... Cough! Cough cough cough cough cough!"
At the height of her maniacal laughter, her neck suddenly tightened from Fang Yu's chokehold, causing her to cough repeatedly.
But still, she grinned wildly and looked at Fang Yu.
"Kill me, and my brother Lord Li Baizhen will die with me! He and I have merged into one, never to be separated! Never to be separated!!!"
"Killing me is the same as killing Lord Li Baizhen, are you sure you want to do it! Are you sure!!!"
She seemed to be holding Fang Yu's lifeline.
As if she could see, using this to threaten him in the future, making this mighty young man sell his life for her.
But obviously, she didn't understand Fang Yu.
Without any warning.
With a crack!
Li Xunxue's neck was directly twisted and broken by Fang Yu.
-325!
Fang Yu said with sorrow.
"It seems, I can only avenge Lord Li Baizhen now."
Li Xunxue was stunned, her neck askew.
The haughty smile that lingered on her face a second ago now looked as ridiculous as a clown's.
All that talk of being close buddies and kin of Lord Li Baizhen turned out to be an act!
I've already merged with him, yet this guy dares to kill me, he dares!!!
He clearly doesn't care about Lord Li Baizhen's life at all!
At this moment, Li Xunxue's feelings were a mix of astonishment and satisfaction.
Although Fang Yu had broken her neck, seeming to have killed her on the spot, in reality, it was only that the Blood Pool around her distorted violently for a moment, its surface area shrinking again, dropping more peripheral Martial Artists to the ground.
[Li Xunxue: 192/1116.]
"Hee hee hee..."
Fang Yu looked at the woman whose neck was broken but was still laughing, and slowly drew his sword.
"Hee hee hee!!!"
Fang Yu slightly furrowed his brows.
"What are you laughing at?"
With her neck broken, she could only tilt her head to look at Fang Yu askew.
That raised corner of her mouth simply couldn't be stopped.
"I'm laughing at how that traitor, despite having escaped from home, didn't gain anything at all! All these years, it's all been for nothing!"
"Is that so."
Fang Yu responded calmly.
Layers of white-scale-like arm armor began to appear on his arm.
"Or maybe, he did indeed gain something."
In Fang Yu's mind flashed the memories of Lord Li Baizhen's old subordinates, the forces he had nurtured over the years, his competitors, his reliable networks, and even the grip he had on the ascent through Yangshen Hall.
All this effort, the traces left behind, they all had meaning, definitely not... in vain!
He released his grip, then grabbed hold of Li Xunxue's hair.
Without waiting for her to speak again, Fang Yu abruptly attacked with his sword.
Slash!!!
Buzz!!!
The piercing sound of the sword ringing almost burst Li Xunxue's eardrums.
At that instant, she clearly saw the moment Fang Yu struck—an odd picture of him nearly covered in white armor from head to toe.
The next moment...
Boom!!!
The entire Blood Wave Pool, as if stimulated, instantly exploded from the middle, as though it had been slashed through by some colossal force, bisected from the top down, split into two with a single stroke!!
-1175!
A four-digit figure appeared above Li Xunxue's head.
Intense pain, like being torn apart, spread from her abdomen.
Her body had been cleaved in half by that sword!
Her upper body was still firmly grasped by Fang Yu by the hair, while her severed lower half sank down with the weight of the Blood Pool.
But...
She was not yet dead.
In fact, in a certain sense, she was completely unharmed.
[Li Xunxue: 192/1116.]
"Ha... ha..."
With only her upper body intact, a normal person would have long since died, but Li Xunxue was panting heavily, blood spewing from her mouth; her form was wretched, yet still... alive.
The exaggerated damage number seemed to hit her body as if it were hitting something else entirely.
The blow was real and struck her body, but the final tally of damage seemed not to apply to her at all.
A clone? Another true body? Or an illusion?
The Bone Powder, washed away by the bloody water, revealed Fang Yu's true appearance.
His gaze swept the surroundings.
The originally enormous Blood Wave Pool had now shrunk to half its size.
Many had been saved by this, even Lin Kuanglong who was about to rush over, stopped in his tracks in astonishment.
Lin Kuanglong probably hadn't expected that Fang Yu alone was close to finishing this woman off.
"So much abundant Qi, how vast is his Qi Sea? To store such a tremendous amount of Qi and still not exhaust it, to move freely in the Blood Pool, and to confront that woman!"
Lin Kuanglong began to look at Fang Yu with new respect.
After all, even he couldn't store such a large quantity of Qi.
"Although this youth's strength may not match mine now, judging by the size of his Qi Sea, his future is promising!"
Fang Yu was unaware that Lin Kuanglong behind him had inexplicably come to appreciate him more.
He was observing Li Xunxue.
"It seems the Blood Pool is your lifeline. Only when the Blood Pool dries up will you truly die."
Li Xunxue responded with a feeble, cold laugh.
"It's also... Lord Li Baizhen's lifeline!"
Fang Yu frowned.
"Twins? Sharing the same body? What is it? Speak up, if your answer pleases me, considering Lord Li Baizhen's sake, I might consider sparing your life."
Li Xunxue's hands were trembling.
Despite being soaked in the Blood Pool, where her injuries and mutilated body could slowly be nourished and heal,
the pain, tearing, and suffering did not lessen in the slightest!
Moreover, the current situation was such that her hopes of escaping from Fang Yu's grasp seemed slim.
"Do you keep your word?"
Li Xunxue directed her gaze at Lin Kuanglong standing behind Fang Yu.
Here, able to take her life, and not limited even by the Blood Pool, but there was still one more person!
Fang Yu glanced sideways, looking at Lin Kuanglong behind him, and said with a smile.
"Brother Lin, can you do me a favor?"
Lin Kuanglong was straightforward.
He shook his head.
"No."
"The enmity of desecrating my wife's corpse cannot coexist under the same sky."
Fang Yu shrugged his shoulders, grabbed Li Xunxue's hair, and whispered in her ear.
"I can kill you, and I can stop Lin Kuanglong if I want to. Satisfy me with your answer, and I will help you escape."
Upon hearing this, Li Xunxue looked deeply at Fang Yu.
"Okay."
After thinking briefly, she began to speak.
"Do you know what a Believer is?"
Ripples of blood spread gently around them.
Looking at Lin Kuanglong's puzzled expression, it seemed as if their conversation was shielded by the blood ripples.
"Reached my level of strength, it would be hard not to know about Believers."
Fang Yu said with a light smile.
"You're aware, then it simplifies the explanation. My father, the head of Li Pincheng, bound by human limitations, researched night and day. Finally, on the path of imitating Believers, he made new progress."
"That is to emulate the power of spirits through the power of bloodline!"
Li Xunxue grinned.
"In some sense, you could say you've been fighting... a Believer! However, my revered father calls those who cultivate this bloodline path Blood Warriors."
"Like Believers need a 'Spirit', Blood Warriors also need a 'spirit', but not a true spirit, rather... a Bloodline Spirit, and that's dear brother! The traitor!"
