Chapter 727: Ordinary Blood (First Update)
Fang Yu didn't expect Fred to agree so readily.
He thought it would take more effort.
It was apparent that Fred had been deceived somehow.
Fang Yu laughed and said, "You can't seriously believe that after the Curse Root is gone, you all would die, right? That's really a huge lie, your clansmen are truly irresponsible. In our Huaxia, such tactics are called a 'policy of keeping the public ignorant.'"
Upon hearing this,
Fred's eyes filled with resentment, he said, "I won't believe what you say. I believe this ancient text. The mark and runes on it were left by one of our Blood Clan's ancestors. These runes can only be inscribed and recognized by our clan members... However, I didn't expect that the Blood Emperor would deceive me."
He stood up and said,
"I've lived for nearly two thousand years... For a full two thousand years. I'm tired of living. All I want is to become a normal person, a regular human being. The Blood Emperor said that the Curse Root is the source of our Blood Clan's life. Without the Curse Root, all of us in the Blood Clan would die."
"I just want to live an ordinary life... To be a human for once, eat a flavorful meal, experience a simple romance, and taste the joys and sorrows of life..."
Seeing him so emotional,
Fang Yu asked, "Then why are you after Xu Zhaopei? You know she doesn't like your type."
Fred looked puzzled and said to Fang Yu,
"Don't you know that she has Ordinary Blood running through her veins?"
Ordinary Blood?
Fang Yu was taken aback.
Ordinary Blood, he had indeed heard about it, as it existed in the memory of the Dragon Emperor.
These are special individuals who are not affected by Inner Essence, arrays, or superpowers...
Their blood is so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.
But...
All cultivators or people from different tribes in the Western Regions, who want to harm Xu Zhaopei, could only use the most primitive methods to hurt her. And frustratingly, Xu Zhaopei has entered the Martial Arts and become a Martial Artist. This raises a problem: How could a cultivator not relying on Primordial Qi defeat a Martial Artist?
In other words... Xu Zhaopei is the strongest among cultivators!
Her blood is immune to all Primordial Qi damage.
It's like being immune to spell attacks in a game.
And at the same time—
Those with this type of blood are doomed never to enter the path of cultivation.
However, the current Xu Zhaopei is already a Martial Arts Sixth Layer master! Upon reaching the Ninth Layer, she will scarcely find a match!
With this thought,
Fang Yu turned to look at Xu Zhaopei and muttered to himself: "The revival of Spiritual Energy…Could it be that the blood abilities of modern city dwellers are awakening?"
He increasingly felt that this possibility was becoming more likely.
If that's the case,
The world is really about to change.
There will be more and more superpower users in the cities.
But no matter which type of superpower user, none is as steady and solid as the path of cultivation.
...
"The Blood Emperor said that only by drinking Ordinary Blood could I become a normal person. For this, I spared no effort and approached Miss Xu... I also attacked Miss Xu several times, but was thwarted by the Ordinary Blood! I tried everything... finally resorting to the lengthy strategy of winning her heart... until your arrival," Fred sighed.
"Give me a break, as if you could have succeeded without me..." Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
Xu Zhaopei, who had been holding back, couldn't contain herself anymore and cursed, "Now I know why you could cure those patients, why you suddenly fell down so close to me last time! It turns out you were trying to harm me!"
This caused Fred's face to turn red.
He was left speechless.
"Tell me the location of the Curse Root, and I'll spare your life!"
Fred said, "The Curse Root is located near a castle on Dailan Island... It is heavily guarded. From time to time, the Blood Emperor himself would inspect the area... I acknowledge your strength, but I still advise you not to act recklessly... Near the Curse Root, the strength of the Blood Clan increases by more than half!"
"I know... You don't need to worry about that."
Fang Yu raised his hand... tracing a few tiny arrays in the air.
A flash of light.
With a sweep of his hand, the light entered Fred's body.
"This is a kind of restriction array from the East. If the location you provided is false, I will detonate this restriction... Its power isn't great, it won't kill you Blood Clan members... but it can stay in your body for a long time, causing pain intermittently every day."
Fred's expression changed, "A curse?"
"If that's how you understand it, then yes." Fang Yu said with a smile.
Fred said, "You may go... Since I dared to speak out, there's no need to deceive you. However... if you want to destroy the Curse Root, it won't be easy. Near the Curse Root, there are some restrictions left by the Western shaman wizards, which are extremely powerful. Even if your strength reaches the heavens, breaking through those restrictions will take some time."
"Restrictions left by shaman wizards?" Fang Yu was taken aback.
"I can help you solve this problem..." Fred surprisingly offered.
"Heh, you're so determined to betray the Blood Clan, aren't you afraid they will tear you apart?" Fang Yu asked.
"So... I help you with one thing, and you also need to agree to a request of mine," Fred said.
"Speak, what's your request?"
"I need Ordinary Blood... just 400 milliliters, which is the standard for unpaid fresh blood from a regular person, and Miss Xu doesn't need to pay any price! With Ordinary Blood, I can become an ordinary person or even a martial artist. Miss Xu is a Sixth Layer Martial Artist, meaning I could also become a martial artist. The extraordinary aspect of Ordinary Blood lies here... Then, I will move to the south, to live where the sunlight shines; the southern intense sun, a place where the Blood Clan cannot survive!"
Hearing this.
Fang Yu was taken aback.
He hadn't expected Fred to be willing to do this just to become a normal person.
But thinking about it, it made sense... With so many people having eternal life, enjoying endless years, there are always one or two who detest this dark life.
It's probably like that saying – countless ordinary people desire eternity... while he is thinking of giving it up.
At this moment.
Xu Zhaopei said, "Bring the tools here, it's only 400 milliliters, I can afford it!"
Fang Yu didn't expect Xu Zhaopei to agree so readily.
She is medical personnel, and also very aware that this amount of blood doesn't have a significant impact on a person's body.
Soon, a syringe and blood bag were brought over.
Xu Zhaopei expertly transferred her blood into the bag.
Just as she finished drawing blood...
A figure burst in from outside.
Crash!
The glass shattered.
It was a vampire. Seeing the Ordinary Blood, its nose twitched, wanting to snatch it!
Fang Yu was about to kill him when Xu Zhaopei said, "Let me handle this..."
"Uh!"
In the midst of speaking.
Xu Zhaopei kicked out several times.
Bang, bang.
Bang, bang, bang!
What vampire! What bat! What Baron Level! In front of Xu Zhaopei, they were like children, kicked around all over the place.
"I always thought I was incredible, and never met an opponent... Turns out, I possess Ordinary Blood! Haha, what an irony!" Saying this, Xu Zhaopei kicked even more fiercely!
The vampire screamed in agony.
