Chapter 535: Golden Blood Two (2/2)

Without hesitation, Jian Chen and Ming Dong stood up to follow Tie Ta up a hillside path. It was only after they had walked several kilometers into the depths of the mountains that they stopped.

“Tie Ta, just what in the world happened for you to come so far from your village?” Ming Dong asked out of curiosity.

Tie Ta was in an extremely worried state with his eyebrows pinched together in deep worry. Carefully looking left and then right with a prudent expression, he looked to see if anyone was around before letting out a sigh in relief. After a slight moment of hesitation, he asked Jian Chen a nervous question, “Changyang Xiangtian. What color do you think blood is in humans?”

“Do I even need to answer? Of course it’s red. Why would you ask that?” Jian Chen asked in confusion.

“Aside from red, is there any other colors?” Tie Ta pressed on.

“Yes, but only magical beasts would have such colors.” Jian Chen replied.

“Then would those blood colors be likely to appear within humanity?” Tie Ta was growing even more anxious by this point.

Ming Dong replied with himself as soon as Tie Ta asked. “What? Of course not, or at least, not that I’ve ever heard.” Then, Ming Dong realized something strange. Amazed, he looked back at Tie Ta and asked, “Tie Ta, why would you ask me such a bizarre question unless…”

Jian Chen was becoming aware of the situation and let out an incredulous expression as well.

Clutching at his head in pain, Tie Ta’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper together with concern. “Changyang Xiangtian, Ming Dong, I have said my secret. You can’t tell this to anyone else; not even my parents know about this secret.”

Jian Chen and Ming Dong both nodded their heads together in solidarity.

“You two have guessed it already. My blood is not at all red in color, it has the color of what one might expect to find in a magical beast. Combined with my physique, do you think that I might not be even human?” Tie Ta spoke in anguish.

Ming Dong and Jian Chen looked at each other for a moment with startled eyes between the two. Tie Ta’s words were like a clap of thunder to their minds and stunned them into an unsteady state for a decent amount of time.

Even a three year old would be able to answer with confidence what blood color a human had. It was without a doubt red without any chance of it being something else. Whatever other color appeared in a magical beast was never to be seen in a human before.

“Impossible, how could the blood of a human be any other color but red? Tie Ta, are you sure you saw it right? Perhaps you didn’t see it clearly enough.” After the shock wore off, Ming Dong cried out in utter disbelief.

“I couldn’t have. I am a coarse person, but even I have sharp enough eyes to see my own blood. If you don’t believe me, then cut my arm and see for yourself.” Tie Ta replied in anguish. The color of his blood had clearly been tormenting him something fierce and made him believe he was some sort of monster.

Ming Dong didn’t hesitate to grab a nearby leaf that was falling to the ground. With a sudden movement of his hand, the leaf immediately sliced over Tie Ta’s dark-skinned arms, but the skin remained unbroken.

Dumbfounded, Ming Dong’s mouth dropped open. “Well f*ck me if that’s true. How is your skin so thick?” Although Ming Dong had used a single tree leaf, it contained a large amount of Saint Force that made it incomparably sharper than an iron sword. If such a sharp weapon wasn’t able to cut Tie Ta’s arm, that could only mean his body was far stronger than that.

Even Jian Chen was stunned by Tie Ta’s physique. While he knew since a long time ago that Tie Ta’s physical strength was extremely strong, he didn’t think that it would reach such an obscenely high level.

“Normally when I come across some prey like the wild animals, they wouldn’t be able to harm me no matter how much they bite.” Tie Ta looked rather pleased at that.

“Let me try again!” Ming Dong was determined to try again. With another leaf, he began to pour a lot of Saint Force into the leaf before trying to cut Tie Ta’s arm once more.

This time the cut had more strength put into it than before, but even then, only the superficial part of the skin was broken. Not a single droplet of blood could be seen coming from it.

“Your skin is far too thick. It’s practically the same level of a Class 5 Magical Beast. If I don’t have my Saint Weapon, then I doubt I’d be able to see you spill blood.” Ming Dong exclaimed in shock.

“Let me try then!’ Jian Chen took Tie Ta’s arm into his hand, and allowed a bit of the azure and violet Sword Qi to emanate from his fingertip. He then gently sliced his skin.

In front of the Sword Qi of the azure and violet Sword Spirits, Tie Ta’s tremendously strong body was like a piece of tofu. Without any wasted effort, his skin revealed a cut, and golden blood immediately began to spill from it.

Seeing the golden blood gushing out, Jian Chen and Ming Dong were both dumbfounded. The both of them could only look at the blood with expressions of utter shock. Tie Ta’s blood was indeed not red but golden.
