This b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art is slightly similar to the Demonic Heavengorging Art. They both involve devouring external sources of energy and turning them into my own. However, the Demonic Heavengorging Art can devour all types of energy while the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art can only can only devour the blood essence of cultivators or yao beasts. Even so, they both share the same overbearing quality. Comparison wise, the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art is more like an offensive type technique.
Chen Feng utilized the Longevity Tower to speed up time for himself so that he could practice the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art. One hour in the outside world was the equivalent of 100 hours for him.
However, he was aware that it would be impossible for him to learn everything about the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art in such a short amount of time. Thus, he swiftly browsed through the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art and found the secret techniques that were useful for him at the moment and practiced them.
As Chen Feng had practiced the Heavengulping Absorption Technique and the Demonic Heavengorging Art before, his practice of the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art went much smoother than he had expected.
There is a relatively high soul power requirement for practicing the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art. Thankfully, I have already cultivated out my Lifebound Flame, otherwise the blood and killing energies' a.s.sault on my sea of wisdom will be a problem. As Chen Feng began his cultivation practice, his blood began roiling, a.s.sailing his blood vessels with great force. Chen Feng could feel a faint sensation of pain from the process.
At the same time, his roiling blood energy was also a.s.sailing his sea of wisdom and it did not take long for Chen Feng to sense his sea of wisdom becoming engulfed by a sea of blood. A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, torn limbs and a path of b.l.o.o.d.y carnage. All of that a.s.sailed Chen Feng's sea of wisdom non-stop as inner demons and illusions began emerging.
Illusions, all of them. Break! Chen Feng released a hushed shout and his Lifebound Flame burned. At the same time, his soul power took the form of a soul vortex. Soon enough, all the streams of blood energy there were broken apart and refined by Chen Feng. The illusions disappeared and Chen Feng felt his soul power growing a notch stronger again.
“What is Brother Chen doing?”
By then, Wen Shaoxiu and the others had put a distance between them and Chen Feng. Since Chen Feng began practicing the b.l.o.o.d.y Netherguide Art, strands of blood energy had begun emerging from his body, growing ever thicker to cover an increasingly large area. When they were enveloped by the strands of blood energy, Wen Shaoxiu and the others felt their minds affected by them. Situ Nan and Ma Tianfang's eyes ended up becoming blood-red in colour.
They knew then that they could not stay too close to Chen Feng. Reflexively, they put some distance between them and Chen Feng.
“He should be practicing a type of secret technique. However, this secret technique is somewhat b.l.o.o.d.y. It doesn't feel like an orthodox technique,” Wen Shaoxiu said.
“Could it be a demonic technique?”
“Possibly. However, the power of demonic techniques is usually stronger than others. Whether or not we can succeed this time around will depend on Brother Chen.”
“With a Dao artefact, this will surely not be an issue, right?”
Two hours later, Li s.h.i.+long and Jian Zhiqiu returned, their faces pale.
“We've really put too much into this. In order to set up the array, we used up practically all of the spirit stones on us. No matter what, we must succeed,” Li s.h.i.+long said, gasping as he did.
“They did not discover what you are doing, right?” Wen Shaoxiu asked.
“Don't worry, they didn't. Even if they did, they will need some time to charge out,” Li s.h.i.+long said.
“You two rest up first. When night falls, we'll attack.”
Another two hours went by and the sky finally turned dark. Dark clouds covered the sky and it looked as though rain was about to fall.
Suddenly, Li s.h.i.+long jerked to attention. “Not good! They discovered us!”
“What happened?”
“It's Wu Huai's team of three. They triggered the magic arrays as they were leaving. All of the a.s.sa.s.sins inside the outpost are now in a state of alarm.”
“The other party is already prepared. If we don't attack soon, it will be problematic for us.”
Everyone turned to look at Chen Feng, who was still in the midst of his cultivation practice. Although they were feeling anxious, none of them said a word.
“The rate at which they are breaking the array is rising. I need to go protect the array,” said Li s.h.i.+long, who hurriedly flew away. While flying, he sent out hand seals towards the array.
Jian Zhiqiu was not doing nothing either. Both his eyes shone with sword light. It was obvious that he was mobilizing the sword array to stop the other party.
“Huh!” Chen Feng released a lengthy breath and finally opened his eyes. All of the blood energy radiating out from his body was retracted as well.
“Brother Chen, how is it? Are you confident you can do it?” Wen Shaoxiu quickly asked.
“70 %.” Chen Feng nodded.
“I will send you fellows in right now. There is no need to go all out against them. Just leave an open wound on the enemy,” Chen Feng said, empowering the Blood Mustering Bead. Rays of b.l.o.o.d.y light shone out from the Blood Mustering Bead to s.h.i.+ne on Wen Shaoxiu and the others.
Next, the b.l.o.o.d.y light flashed and the five of them disappeared. At the very next moment, all five re-appeared inside Killer Palace's outpost.
By utilizing the Blood Mustering Bead, Chen Feng was able to observe everything happening within Mulberry Scholar City, let alone a small courtyard there.
Li s.h.i.+long and Jian Zhiqiu controlled their magic arrays to battle their opponents while Chen Feng remained seated cross-legged, not moving at all. For Chen Feng, a distance of tens of li made no difference to him.
Wen Shaoxiu, Liu Quan, Situ Nan, Jian Luobo and Ma Tianfang swiftly attacked.
Chen Feng had placed them in the most perfect location.
The five of them had appeared – occupying the positions for a Five Elemental Array – around two a.s.sa.s.sins. The sudden appearance of the five cultivators shocked the two a.s.sa.s.sins. However, they were quick to react. Instantly, they displayed their evasive techniques in an attempt to escape.
