"Dead?"
The girl in red stared at the scene before her, her eyes filled with extre astonishnt. This powerful will of the fang had been overwhelming, effortlessly defeating the two, and now it was easily killed!
Xiao Zheng’s face suddenly turned pale, his body teetered, and he fell toward the ground. Seeing this, the girl in red hurried forward to support him and asked softly, "How are you?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m just ntally exhausted, so I’m a bit tired. I just need to rest for a while, and I’ll be fine."
The girl in red thought of the scene just now and asked, "Did you use spiritual power to attack the fang then?" After asking this, the girl in red continued, "If it’s your secret, then you don’t need to answer."
In Xiao Zheng’s mind, the scene where the girl in red was willing to stay behind for him flashed back. At that ti, the girl knew nothing about his spiritual power cultivation technique, staying behind with the determination to sacrifice herself. Facing soone who had shared life and death with him, what was there to hide?
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and said, "It’s nothing, really. Back then, when my spiritual power was materialized, I sought out a reclusive elder at Kongtong Palace who taught a cultivation secret technique. Since then, I’ve had this trump card, able to attack with spiritual power."
The girl in red was astonished: "Spiritual power materialization?" She couldn’t help but exclaim, "You are truly a genius!"
Being the Netherworld King of the Blood Clan, she loved reading various ancient books and naturally knew a lot, including spiritual power. Those who could materialize spiritual power were extrely rare throughout the ages!
"Haha, being praised by the Netherworld King makes a bit embarrassed." Xiao Zheng laughed. Despite his words, he felt a bit proud, as the one praising him was the Netherworld King!
Standing at the peak of Martial Arts!
The girl in red suddenly sighed: "Compared to you, I’m far inferior. Although my combat power is now stronger, it’s only because I’ve been cultivating longer. If we were the sa age, you would be much stronger than ."
Xiao Zheng nodded, rembering that the Blood Clan seed to have a very long lifespan; this Netherworld King, despite appearing as a girl in red, was actually several hundred years old.
"Nod to what!"
The girl in red suddenly got angry.
Xiao Zheng was puzzled, asking, "What did I do wrong by nodding?"
The girl in red’s face darkened, letting out a cold snort, and said nothing further.
Xiao Zheng was even more confused, wondering what had made her upset. It was so sudden, he couldn’t react. He didn’t realize this gesture reminded the girl of her age, and won, whether human or Blood Clan, were invariably sensitive about their age.
Seeing the awkward silence, Xiao Zheng helplessly shrugged, as a gentleman, he could only humble himself first, laughed awkwardly, and pointed to the fang fallen on the ground, saying, "Speaking of which, this fang is sothing left behind by the Netherworld King. Perhaps it has so use."
Indeed, the girl in red was distracted, turning her gaze toward the bone and said, "Earlier, the will within the fang wanted to unleash the power contained in it, which ans the fang itself should possess terrifying might!"
The girl’s eyes burned slightly, "If it can be used, it would be an extrely powerful weapon, capable of hurting soone of my own tier."
Xiao Zheng said, "Then keep it."
The girl in red glanced at Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng smiled faintly, saying, "This is an item of your Blood Clan, I certainly won’t fight for it."
The girl in red said, "Then I won’t be pretentious, consider it as you doing a favor."
Xiao Zheng teased, "Getting a favor from the Netherworld King is not easy."
The girl picked up the fang, observing it carefully in her palm.
The fang was large, about thirty centiters long, hard to imagine the size of the creature possessing it.
It lay there quietly, exuding a subtle ominous aura, bringing imnse pressure, as if a fierce beast lay dormant.
The girl observed for a while, then stored the fang and said, "I can’t figure it out in a short ti, I’ll slowly explore it when I return."
Xiao Zheng naturally had no objection. He took out three fruits from his pouch, vivid red, crystal clear, like agate or gemstones, "Next, we should examine these."
Blood Essence Fruit!
This was the key to opening the ancient blood pool, their purpose in this expedition was to gather these fruits.
The girl smiled imdiately, "After turning back, once the blood pool is opened, half for you, half for , we’ll share equally."
This ti Xiao Zheng did not refuse, it was rightfully his. Thinking of the blood pool’s transformative powers, Xiao Zheng’s eyes displayed a hint of fervor; perhaps he could break through to Late Stage Martial Saint!
Once breaking through to Late Stage Martial Saint, his combat power would significantly increase, by then, he might be able to contend with or even defeat those at the Peak of Martial Saint and higher!
"Let’s go."
Soon, the two traced their path back, through the entire secret realm, and returned in front of the huge eye. Naturally, they encountered so beasts in the secret realm along the way, but the will of the fang was already dealt with, making these beasts insignificant, not even a real obstacle, just a minor hassle.
The girl in red cut her palm, her blood flowed into the eye, a pathway reappeared, and the two walked through it, returning to the magnificent hall they had been in before.
Boom!
Back in the hall, the giant eye shuddered, then dissipated in the air.
"Do you know how to use the Blood Essence Fruit to open the ancient blood pool?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Yes."
The girl nodded, saying, "There’s a record at the edge of the blood pool, as long as my blood is used as a catalyst and the Blood Essence Fruit is placed in the pool, a pool of blood will imdiately gush forth."
Xiao Zheng turned to look at the bronze door entering the hall, "But now, I think I should ponder how to leave here. If soaking in the pool is done, and the exit is blocked, then we’re trapped."
The girl laughed, "Don’t worry about that, the sealed bronze door is to prevent outsiders from disturbing the blood pool soaking process. Once the soaking is finished, it will naturally reopen."
"I see." Xiao Zheng suddenly mused, "I wonder, in ancient tis, what kind of beings built these structures, created these blood pools; what level did their realms reach?"
