The blood coc.o.o.n stone was a unique stone formed of the blood devils' blood essence, a stone with wondrous usages. After the injured Du Xuanhao was placed in the blood coc.o.o.n stone, he absorbed its blood essence, strengthening his bloodline several times over.

On top of that, his body had also undergone a round of cleansing. One could say that his injuries had brought him numerous benefits instead of harm. Currently, a ma.s.sive power was erupting from the blood coc.o.o.n stone, signifying that Du Xuanhao was done absorbing the power contained within the stone.

”Old Du is going to break out of the coc.o.o.n soon,” said Han Pojun in excitement.

”Um,” Xiang Shaoyun was also growing excited. Naturally, he would be happy to see Du Xuanhao grow stronger. After all, Du Xuanhao was on his side. He was confident Du Xuanhao would be a great helper in the future.

Bang!

A m.u.f.fled sound rumbled, and the blood coc.o.o.n stone crumbled apart. From within, a figure soared into the sky. Akin to a breathtaking saber, that figure shot toward the clouds, glorious and dazzling. The sisters paled at the sight. If they weren't under Han Pojun's protection, the shockwave from the energy eruption would have been enough to kill both of them.

”Congratulations, Old Du, for reaching a new height in your cultivation,” said Han Pojun earnestly.

In truth, he was the one who had found the blood coc.o.o.n stone. He had intended to break through using the stone, but now that Du Xuanhao had benefited from the stone instead of him, he had complicated emotions. Even so, he did not bear any sort of grudge toward Du Xuanhao. After all, the Noxious Blood Gang would have killed him if it wasn't for Du Xuanhao.

When Du Xuanhao landed on the ground, he ignored Han Pojun. Rather, he knelt on one knee before Xiang Shaoyun and said, ”Du Xuanhao greets the young master!”

He did so without any sort of hesitation. Not even Xiang Shaoyun and Han Pojun could do anything before he was already on one knee. Han Pojun's mouth was wide agape, his eyes filled with disbelief. He understood Du Xuanhao well. He was a tough man who had comprehended saber intent and possessed a combat prowess no weaker than him. Yet such a person was kneeling before a young man. Seeing how willingly Du Xuanhao had gotten to one knee filled his heart with confusion.

Is this Xiang Shaoyun a successor of some super tier-7 organization? Han Pojun wondered.

The Han Clan sisters were similarly shocked. They had heard from Han Pojun that the person in the blood coc.o.o.n stone was a remarkable hero no weaker than him. And a hero like that was actually bending his knee before Xiang Shaoyun. It gave them a feeling that the gap between them and Xiang Shaoyun had grown even wider.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly reached out and helped Du Xuanhao up. ”Big Brother Du, I told you this is not necessary between us.”

”Proper rites should always be observed. If you had not appeared in time, Old Han and I would have died,” lamented Du Xuanhao.

During his time in the blood coc.o.o.n stone, he had been aware of the things happening around him. Thus, he knew all that had happened, and his admiration for Xiang Shaoyun had only grown as a result. There were so many Emperors among the Noxious Blood Gang group, yet his young master had killed all of them easily. That was a feat not even he himself could accomplish.

”It's good to see that you're fine,” said Xiang Shaoyun earnestly.

Suddenly, Du Xuanhao noticed that Xiang Shaoyun was now a seventh-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. He exclaimed in shock, ”Young master, y-your strength...it's growing so fast!”

”You're doing quite well yourself too. You're now a full ninth-stage Emperor. Before long, you will be able to enter the Soul Foundation Realm. This is worthy of celebration!” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
