Chapter 409: Pray (1/2)

The Supreme elder and the peak master could very well tell that the man was insane and would not budge. There was no use in talking with him anymore and the best course of action was a swift death.

~shua~

Gu Yao created a whirling ring of blood that expanded to repel the two elders' back. The wind vortex that the peak master Yi Deng had created was destroyed as well, and the spear of the supreme elder was thrown to the side.

”He still has the support of the blood pool!” The Supreme elder realized.

Lin Mu looked around and saw that even if the explosion of the Bloodline Crystal had destroyed the blood pool, the blood essence was not fully destroyed. Barely ten percent of it was perhaps burned away, but the rest of it had just sprayed around in the chamber.

Under the control of Gu Yao, the blood was slowly gathering together. The blood essence was the fuel behind his technique and how he was able to fight against two nascent soul realm cultivators at once.

”Wait, why isn't he trying to control them again?” Lin Mu suddenly questioned.

All Gu Yao had to do was to control one of them, and then the odds would be flipped again. Lin Mu's eyes darted around, and so did his spirit sense trying to find the irregularity.

”Blink!”

”Flicker!”

”Blink!”

Lin Mu continually dodged the attacks of Gu Yao and tried to find what he was doing. He had already detected that the spirit sense of Gu Yao was split into multiple parts currently, and each one was doing something else. The two elders were busy fighting and could not lose their focus and thus could not tell Thai Gu Yao was seeming something even further.

Lin Mu chanted the severing heart sutra, increasing his perception to the peak. It was then that he discovered the true extent of Gu Yao's spirit sense.

'He has merged it with the blood essence… so that's how he controls it. But after merging it with the blood essence, the presence of his spirit sense is almost impossible to detect.' Lin Mu realized.

He discovered that some of the blood essence streaks were moving into some random locations. But after focusing there, he realized what his ultimate goal was.

”He's creating runes!” Lin Mu exclaimed.

The two elders heard his words and became shocked. Gu Yao had a similar expression and realized that he had nearly forgotten about Lin Mu.

”YOU BRAT! I'll kill you!” Gu Yao chopped his hand in the air like a sword and a long blade made of blood was created.

”HAA!” he shouted as the blade of blood traveled at great speed.

Gu Yao had already given up on Lin Mu's master. He reckoned that the boy was trying to trick him as nothing had happened till now. If he really had a Master that was that strong and was beyond the Immortal Ascension realm, there wouldn't be any delay like this.

A cultivator like that would be all-seeing and would know what was happening where in the world. If his disciple was in trouble, he would merely have to will it and the world itself would kill him. But since nothing like that had happened, he reached the conclusion that he really was being fooled.
