64 Resistance (1/2)
”Seeing how things are, it seems that both Shi Yutong and the Five Ghosts Sect have their own ideas on how to defeat each other, and both had managed to get assistance...”
At the sound of the flute, the Blood Killer escaped and Fang Yuan managed to retreat as well.
”The only difference is that Shi Yutong's reinforcement came from outside the city, and only arrived after Lady Yan was discovered, and therefore Shi Yutong was forced to reveal herself to lure the head of Five Ghosts Sect out of the city....”
”Shi Yutong's skill was above that of the head of the Five Ghosts Sect, and her assistant could scare away the Blood Killer. She was totally in control of the situation, and they had no chance of retaliating!”
”Lieyang County will be very different from this day onwards...”
Fang Yuan witnessed how the Blood Killer betrayed head of the Five Ghosts Sect and used him as a bait for him to escape, and knew that the head of the Five Ghosts Sect was unlikely to walk out alive under the attack of Shi Yutong and her strong assistant.
The Five Ghost Sect would crumble without their head, and other sects would take advantage of them once they were at their downfall.
...
”Whoosh!”
Fang Yuan flew into the woods, his eyes filled with fury.
”The Blood Killer is only strong in his spiritual spells. As for his martial arts cultivation, he is only equivalent to that of a [Martial Artist (5th Gate)]... Furthermore, he was hurt by the emerald flashes...”
”And as for me? I've recovered from eating the bamboo fruit, and although my external wounds look terrifying, my internal wounds have already recovered quite a bit, and I can even fight!”
Fang Yuan was unwilling to risk his life for a treasure map he knew little about.
But it's different about the Blood Killer!
This person was a spiritual knight! ... Alright, according to Shi Yutong he was a spiritual knight-to-be, and badly hurt too. This was attractive to Fang Yuan, who wanted to observe spiritual spells in action.
With the intention to stalk the Blood Killer, the Blood Killer could not run away from Fang Yuan.
Indeed, after an hour, the Blood Killer stopped near a mountain spring to take a rest.
The bandage over his wound on his chest was red. He twitched and felt suspicious. ”The spiritual weapon does not seem to be the widely-known Spiritual Emerald Silk! If the Spiritual Emerald Silk attacked me personally, I would never have the chance to escape... Could it be that someone is tricking me?”
After thinking, he felt extremely regretful.
He knew that with him and the head of the Five Ghosts Sect teaming up, they would just be able to take down Shi Yutong, but the moment her ally arrived, even if it was a young disciple, they would have won. This was the main reason why he escaped without a doubt.
The only thing was that betraying the head of the Five Ghosts Sect was akin to burning a bridge, and felt that it was a pity.
”Curse you! After I have officially become a spiritual knight, I will peel all your skins alive to vent out my anger and take my revenge...”
Blood Killer sighed, bent down and drank the spring water.
After quenching his thirst, he opened his robes, looked at the blood-red bandage, clenched his teeth and tore it apart.
”Piak!”
As the bandage fell apart, blood spurt out of the wound.
”Mm...”
He bit his teeth and was sweating profusely. His right arm was shivering as he retrieved a dark-green bottle from his pocket. He scattered some white powder onto his wound and began to bandage it.
Fang Yuan came out of hiding and took a few steps forward.
”Who's that?”
As the Blood Killer looked up, his eyes revealed an emerald flash, as though he was an injured wolf.
'I was discovered?'
Fang Yuan changed his mind, stood up and acted as though he was afraid. ”Don't... Don't kill me...”
”Mmm?”
Blood Killer noticed his rotting arm and was perplexed. ”You were that martial artist, but why are you still alive? How is this possible?”
He knew Fang Yuan was a [Martial Artist (6th/7th Gate)] and therefore was not on guard. Unknowingly, he took a few steps towards him as though he was a weak martial artist who was easily affected by his blood elemental force. He was suspicious as to how Fang Yuan survived his attack.
”This is the moment!”
Fang Yuan stood his ground and struck.
”Whoosh!”
He rushed forward and felt the air rush over his claws, as he made an eagle's cry. He appeared next to the Blood Killer as his claws emerged, with a black spot on his palm; the poison from the mutated Pearl Tail Snake harnessed in his palms.
”Hmm?”
Even though he was injured, he remained calm as he looked at Fang Yuan attacking him, as though he was extremely confident.
”Mind Calming Spell!”
He bit his tongue and spit out blood towards Fang Yuan, and shouted.
”Wung!”
A weird vibration was felt as it travelled onto Fang Yuan's body.
Fang Yuan was shocked, and at the moment his stood at where he was, maintaining his pouncing posture.
”Hehe... This Mind Calming Spell is indeed useful when dealing with normal people... Cough Cough...”
After two coughs, he examined Fang Yuan. ”This person could survive my Bloody Python attack, it seems he is somewhat special. He would be a good ingredient for me to make a blood corpse... And while I am injured, I will need protection...”
”Dementor!”
He took two steps forward, and in his right hand was a dark-red pill. Mischief filled his eyes, as he exclaimed, ”From today onwards, I am your master, and now, eat this!”
