Chapter 1037 - Blood River Patriarch (2/2)

On top of that, both Gu Jingman’s battle style and techniques were rather unique. The secret techniques of her cultivation were mostly unseen before and she moved very quickly, so quickly it was unbelievable. When she moved at full speed, it seemed as if she was not beneath the Supreme Profundity Realm.

Even if it was Old Man Xuan You, it was difficult to capture Gu Jingman in an instant.

“Battlefield of Blood Souls.”

Gu Jingman’s figure morphed into innumerable crimson shadows that covered the sky. It was difficult to tell which shadow was real and which was not; perhaps all of them were real, or maybe all of them were fake.

Spear shadow after spear shadow flew out from the crimson shadows as if infinite in number. It was difficult to tell at all how many there were because all of the spear shadows gathered to form a single, large vortex that surrounded Old Man Xuan You. They seemed to be trying to turn Old Man Xuan You and the space around him into a honeycomb-like structure.

“Giant Hand of Hollows.”

With a wave of his hand, a huge hand appeared in front of Old Man Xuan You in an instant. It covered the entire sky, and there was no way of telling how big it was. It was almost as if the entire heaven and earth had been enveloped in that hand, and the hand was like the core of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be gathering aggressively around the hand in the center.

All of the blood-colored spear shadows had been suppressed by the palm. With a gentle smack, they turned to ash.

All of the blood shadows had also been destroyed. But in the far distance, a figure stood unharmed, as if it had not been injured at all.

Old Man Xuan You was becoming increasingly shocked. Although he had only been playing around with this woman, the power she had demonstrated had shocked him greatly. It had even forced him to pull out his remarkable power secret technique. The Giant Hand of Hollows was a small path remarkable power of the Sword Valley, a Fifth Rank small path. It was even higher than Zhang Poxiao’s The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

“What’s your relationship with the Blood River Patriarch?” Old Man Xuan You probed with a serious face.

He had suddenly thought of that person. He had never met the person, nor had anyone in ancient times. It was just legend that someone like that had existed, and his name had been a rather popular one.

This woman’s strength and remarkable power were rather similar to that of the legendary Blood River Patriarch.

Legend had it that the Blood River Patriarch was an ancient monster born from the Hades Blood River. He had cultivated the mysterious Blood God’s Bible and had a billion incarnations. Those incarnations were called the Blood God’s children and every single one of them was terrifying beyond comparison. Not only were they the Blood River Patriarch’s incarnations, but their battle strength was also rather high. Furthermore, they were impossible to wipe out and were capable of swallowing the power of heaven and earth.

The records had a section on the legends of the Immemorial Age which recorded the deeds of the Blood River Patriarch. During the Immemorial Age, this person was rumored to have been a menace who destroyed everything he touched. His billions of incarnations could swallow an entire world in an instant, and he could destroy the surface of the earth with just a wave of his hand.

Old Man Xuan You had naturally never seen the Blood River Patriarch’s remarkable power, but the remarkable power secret technique that Gu Jingman had demonstrated was simply too extraordinary. He had never before seen that, and it was too different from the traditional remarkable power secret techniques of the Immortal Cultivator’s world but rather similar to the legend of the Blood God’s Bible, which was why he had this hunch.

“You’re right, you really managed to guess it. The Blood River Patriarch is my master,” Gu Jingman said seriously.

Old Man Xuan You rolled his eyes. The more Gu Jingman acted this way, the less he believed it. The Blood River Patriarch was a figure from the Immemorial Age, and he had only been making a random guess when he thought the patriarch had some sort of connection with her.

“Well, then I’d like to see for myself the power of the Blood God’s Bible.” Old Man Xuan You laughed coldly. As long as I catch you, little lady, there are no secrets you can guard against me.

“You old fool, hurry and see for yourself what the great magical power of the Blood God’s Bible is like, then.” Gu Jingman looked towards Old Man Xuan You as if she were looking at an idiot.

“You’re asking for death.”

Old Man Xuan You’s faced turned red. He believed his earlier guess had been mocked by her—to think she was mocking him so openly… The fool!

Anger flared in Old Man Xuan You’s chest and his blows became ever more vicious. The Giant Hand of Hollows seemed to sweep across the entire heaven and earth, crushing Gu Jingman firmly beneath itself.

The giant hand quaked, then morphed into three palm shadows that knocked directly into Gu Jingman, easily wounding her.

Old Man Xuan You’s strength was too overwhelming and it was impossible for someone whose achievement was only at the great achievement of the Tide Changing Realm to deflect his blows.

It was a good thing Gu Jingman’s blood-colored battle armor was magical. It was able to automatically reduce a good portion of the power that hit her body. Although Gu Jingman was still injured, she recovered quickly.

“That blood-colored spear and battle armor are definitely treasures. How did Gu Jingman get those?” Mo Wen was rather curious. There were so many secrets Gu Jingman had—just what had she encountered in the seventh space of the Goddess’ World?

“Gu Jingman might really be taken alive by Old Man Xuan You if we don’t intervene now, Mo Wen,” the Ink Scaled King said with a frown on his face.

Everyone could tell that Old Man Xuan You was just playing around with Gu Jingman and he wanted to take her alive. After all, as the Sword Valley Leader, Old Man Xuan You was most adept at the sword path. Up till now, Old Man Xuan You had not pulled out his sword yet but the moment he did, it was likely that even Gu Jingman would die under his sword.
