#267 - Blood Qi
Zhang Chen transformed into a vampire bat, soaring through the sky, tracking the vague sense all the way. From afar, he saw the mosquito, as large as a mountain.
The mosquito was thousands of meters tall, landing on the ground like Mount Tai blocking the way.
Its body was carved like jade, shimmering with a crystal-clear light, like white jade, with mysterious flowing light twinkling. Faintly, mysterious symbols flowed on the mosquito's torso.
Although the mosquito was huge, it looked like a work of art, not ferocious at all.
"This is the monster the black-robed man spoke of? It's just that this monster fell into a deep sleep after eating jade dew. And the black-robed man actually wants to seize this mosquito, what wishful thinking."
Zhang Chen sneered inwardly, his eyes full of coldness. Just as he was about to speak and disrupt the situation, his eyes suddenly moved slightly. The crystal core in his heart began to tremble abnormally at this moment, and an unspeakable urgent desire poured into Zhang Chen's heart.
In an instant, Zhang Chen understood the meaning of the crystal core in his body. It wanted him to suck the blood of the huge mosquito. As long as he absorbed the blood of the mosquito, his crystal core would evolve again.
"Old guy, now that you've seen me, why don't you come out and greet me?" Zhang Chen didn't rush to act, but transformed into a human form and stood in front of the huge mosquito, questioning it with a voice full of mockery.
The black-robed man did not answer Zhang Chen's words, but continued to work hard to seize control of the mosquito, hoping to gain a full advantage before Zhang Chen's action alarmed the mosquito's original will.
"Playing dead?" Zhang Chen sneered coldly upon hearing this, his voice full of ridicule.
Now that he was watching at close range, he finally understood why he couldn't pull his soul. The robe on this old guy was very unusual. At this time, the robe had merged with part of the innate mosquito's body, which was equivalent to temporarily merging himself with the innate mosquito using the robe, and then using the power of the innate mosquito to suppress his soul.
"Hehe, no one can gain an advantage in my hands!" Seeing that the other party was unwilling to show up, Zhang Chen transformed into clouds and rose into the air in the next moment, and then landed on the mosquito's body.
Then, Zhang Chen stretched out his palm and attached it to the innate mosquito's body. Then, two sharp fangs drilled out from Zhang Chen's palm, piercing into the innate mosquito's body, and began to devour the innate mosquito's blood. Along with the innate mosquito's blood pouring into Zhang Chen's body, there was also a mysterious and unpredictable power, slowly pouring into Zhang Chen's crystal core from the other party's body along with the blood.
Along with the infusion of that power, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be shocked. He was too familiar with this power. He had absorbed this power when he absorbed the dragon blood warrior before: Qi Luck!
This is the Qi Luck belonging to the innate mosquito!
Along with Zhang Chen absorbing the Qi Luck of the innate mosquito, a world-shaking change was seen in Zhang Chen's crystal core. The sea of blood began to roar, and the ten thousand feet of red light began to boil.
At this time, the black-robed man also noticed Zhang Chen's actions. He had now seized part of the control of the innate mosquito. Of course, Zhang Chen's methods could not be concealed from him. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sneer: "You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You are just a Qi Refiner, a firefly. How dare you absorb the blood of an innate creature? What's more, this creature was born in the sea of blood, and its blood contains the aura of great evil. You will only destroy yourself if you absorb it. What's more, can you, a mere mortal body, break the defense of an innate creature?"
However, as the two fangs in Zhang Chen's palm pierced through the innate mosquito's skin without any hesitation, the black-robed man's expression changed. At this time, he couldn't help but be horrified and said: "Good method! What kind of method is this? You are just a mortal, how can you break through the defense of an innate creature?"
Zhang Chen did not answer, but frantically sucked blood. The black-robed man sneered again when he saw this: "The innate mosquito's law is the image of heaven and earth, and its blood can turn into a lake. How much can you absorb? One drop? Two drops?"
Having said this, the black-robed man ignored Zhang Chen and concentrated on seizing the innate mosquito.
One person concentrated on sucking blood, and the other concentrated on seizing the innate mosquito. It was a pity that the innate mosquito was an innate creature, but it suffered innocently.
At this time, Zhang Chen looked at the innate mosquito that was at his mercy, and was secretly horrified in his heart, constantly reminding himself to be vigilant: "There is always someone better, there are countless strange objects in this world, even such a powerful strangeness, if you are careless, you will overturn the car. I must be more vigilant and prepared in the future."
The two people did their own things. Along with Zhang Chen's devouring of blood, the Qi Luck in the dark frantically poured into Zhang Chen's crystal core. It was seen that the Qi Luck flowing in the sea of blood in Zhang Chen's crystal core gathered and turned into a lotus seed.
Then, along with Zhang Chen's constant devouring of Qi Luck, the lotus seed took root and sprouted under the infusion of Qi Luck, rooted in the endless sea of blood, and then grew blood-red lotus leaves, and then the lotus began to continuously derive, and in a blink of an eye, a flower bud appeared, but a flower bud protruded from the water surface, standing alone in the sea of blood.
As soon as the flower bud appeared, lightning bolts burst out from Zhang Chen's blood-red crystal core, constantly streaking across the sky in the crystal core. It was seen that the space of the crystal core continued to expand, and the space of the sea of blood also began to expand continuously.
When Zhang Chen absorbed 10% of the innate mosquito's blood, the flower bud slowly bloomed, and a petal of the lotus opened. When Zhang Chen absorbed 20% of the innate mosquito's blood, the second petal of the blood-red lotus bloomed again.
When Zhang Chen absorbed 30% of the innate mosquito's blood, the lotus bloomed with three grades. At this time, lotus flowers began to derive continuously around the flower bud, forming a lotus pond the size of a hundred meters.
The petals of the lotus were so strange, and they were engraved with mysterious runes. The runes were arranged according to some wonderful rules, which seemed to be supreme chapters, and people could not help but immerse themselves in them.
While sucking blood, Zhang Chen observed the runes, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Strange, there seem to be countless strange symbols engraved in the lotus petals, and the symbols have become an article, could this be the innate constitution?"
It's a pity that the runes are too strange, Zhang Chen can't understand or comprehend them.
Along with Zhang Chen constantly absorbing the blood and Qi Luck of the innate mosquito, the lotus in Zhang Chen's sea of blood continued to bloom and bloom, blooming with four grades, blooming with five grades...
When it bloomed with five grades, a strange fragrance bloomed from the lotus, spreading throughout the blood sea world in Zhang Chen's crystal core. The fragrance was very peculiar, although it was not as fragrant as osmanthus, it had a power that made people feel calm.
As Zhang Chen absorbed fifty percent of the Innate Mosquito's blood, the black-robed figure attempting to seize the Innate Mosquito's body finally awoke from his trance. He had already sensed something was amiss. Upon realizing that fifty percent of the Innate Mosquito's blood had been absorbed by Zhang Chen, he was utterly shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief: 'This shouldn't be happening! How could he absorb so much blood? He's just a mortal, how can he possess such power?'
At this point, the black-robed figure could no longer remain still and hurriedly shouted:
"Stop! Stop it now! Don't absorb any more!"
How could Zhang Chen listen to him? Upon hearing these words, he unhesitatingly continued to devour the blood and fate within the Innate Mosquito's body.
"Stop it now! The power of the Jade Dew is contained within this monster's blood. As you extract its blood, you are also extracting the power of the Jade Dew. Once you extract more than seventy percent of its blood, it will awaken from its slumber. The power of the Jade Dew will no longer be able to keep it asleep. At that point, we'll both be finished!" The black-robed man's voice was filled with anxiety, revealing his genuine desperation.
He had already made a desperate gamble, and there was no room for regret. If Zhang Chen awakened the Innate Mosquito, he would surely be overturned.
"Heh heh, you treacherous scoundrel are full of tricks. Do you think I'd believe your lies?" Zhang Chen didn't believe a word the black-robed figure said.
"Kid, trust me this once. I'm not trying to trick you this time. Stop it now!" The black-robed figure was on the verge of tears, his voice filled with helplessness.
Zhang Chen ignored him. If he could devour the Innate Mosquito, who knew what skills might be revealed? That would be a great harvest.
"I'll believe you when pigs fly! After I kill this Innate Mosquito, I'll see how I deal with you," Zhang Chen said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure flew into a rage: "Why are you so stubborn, kid? Can't you just trust me once?"
Hearing the black-robed figure's words, Zhang Chen chuckled: "You old fogeys, each one of you speaks so sweetly, each one sounds so sincere. I'll deal with you after I've sucked this monster dry."
"You're messing around! This is an Innate Being! How could it die just from having its blood sucked dry? Stop it now! I don't want to be buried with you!" Seeing Zhang Chen's stubbornness, the black-robed figure directly cursed.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen glanced at the black-robed figure, a strange look in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved up: "Aren't you afraid that I'll absorb all of the mosquito's blood, preventing you from seizing its body and being reborn?"
I, Zhang Chen, have already seen through everything, seen through all your schemes. If that monster were so easily awakened, you would have already seized its body long ago, and besides, I've absorbed so much blood, that monster should have awakened already.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words and seeing his expression, how could the black-robed figure not know what Zhang Chen was thinking?
At this moment, the black-robed figure couldn't help but curse inwardly. Meeting a scoundrel like Zhang Chen, who was impervious to reason and recklessly bold, he was completely helpless.
There was nothing he could do!
Zhang Chen's smug expression, as if he had seen through everything, made the black-robed figure's teeth itch with hatred. But at this crucial moment of body seizure, he couldn't stop Zhang Chen. Seeing that a forceful approach wouldn't work, he could only lower himself and plead again: "Little brother, as long as you're willing to stop, I can guide you to a mystical place where there is a unique wind that you desire, which can help you cultivate supernatural powers. What do you say?"
He was truly helpless and could only beg.
However, facing the old monster's plea, Zhang Chen's heart stirred with greed, but his hands didn't stop, and he continued to accelerate his blood absorption: "Didn't you say before that you didn't know where the unique wind was located? Are you trying to deceive me again to buy time for your body seizure? Which of your words are true and which are false? How can I trust you?"
"This is one situation and that was another, can now be compared with before?" The black-robed figure said with a face full of helplessness, cursing his misfortune in his heart, how could he meet such a freak.
Clearly, he had a mortal body, but he could break through the defenses of an Innate Being and absorb its blood. What was this if not a freak?
What made him most uncomfortable was that he had to lower himself and beg, treat an ant like a grandfather, how could he not feel aggrieved in his heart?
"Tell me first where that strange wind is located. If I determine that it's not a lie, I'll decide whether to stop and let you go," Zhang Chen said unhappily.
"This strange wind is unique to the Netherworld, born in the deepest part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and is best at restraining souls. It is called: Yin Wind. Now that the Transcendent has fallen, that Yin Wind is probably about to disappear as well. If you want to find the Yin Wind, you still need to go to the Yin Mountain in the deepest part of the Netherworld, where you might be able to capture a wisp of wind," The black-robed figure no longer pretended to be mysterious, and didn't even try to create suspense, directly telling Zhang Chen everything.
At this time, as Zhang Chen's flower bloomed to the fifth grade, his crystal core became stronger and stronger, and the speed of absorbing blood and fate became faster and faster. At this moment, as he spoke, the petals in his crystal core had already bloomed to the seventh grade.
"Stop it now! Don't absorb any more! I beg you, if you keep absorbing, once the monster wakes up, we'll both be eaten by this monster!" The black-robed figure kept begging bitterly at this time.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen sneered: "How do I know if what you're saying is true? What if you lie to me, wouldn't I be miserably tricked by you? If I let go and go to find that Yin Wind, you'll take the opportunity to seize this monster, and then chase after me, wouldn't I be dead?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Chen sarcastically said: "After all, you old fogeys have a precedent, haven't you? I, Zhang Chen, am so smart, how could I be fooled by you twice?"
"You son of a bitch… You're smart my ass! If you're smart, then I'm a genius! You're not using your damn smartness in the right place!" The black-robed figure heard that and cursed in anger, his voice full of mania, directly bringing up his mother.
He had never encountered such a stupid, impervious person.
"You still dare to scold me? Heh heh, you're getting anxious, aren't you? You're feeling guilty, aren't you? I knew it, you old fogey are lying to me." Zhang Chen heard the other party's angry scolding, and ridiculed with a smile: "Old fogey, you wait to die! You almost killed me, and you still want to seize my body and be reborn? Keep dreaming."
"Can't you just trust me once? You can't absorb any more, something really bad is going to happen if you keep absorbing!" The black-robed figure was about to collapse at this time.
His mentality had collapsed!
What could he do?
He was so desperate!
He regretted it! He really shouldn't have tricked Zhang Chen before, and as a result, he had tricked himself.
If he had known this would happen, he might as well have developed peacefully at the time. This time, he really lifted a stone and smashed his own foot.
"You old fogeys, claiming to have transcendent wisdom and supreme supernatural powers, treat mortals as ants to be manipulated and played with at will, but I tell you, I, Zhang Chen, am extremely smart and will never be fooled a second time!" Zhang Chen said eloquently at this time.
