Chapter 157: Bloodborne Poison (2/2)
Before I could say anything else, White charged at the Guardian once again. This time, he already had his sword out. He just needs to swing it and hope that his attack would be effective.
Just hang in there for a little longer, White. Once I'm done, I'll be able to help you with my activated Berserk Mode.
The main problem in creating the Bloodborne poison is that you need at least two pints of blood when creating it. The two pints of blood will then be condensed until it's as hard as a rock, and then one has to inject a mixture of herbs that would corrode the inner portion of the rock-hard blood. And once all these are over, the Bloodborne poison should be eaten by the victim for it to be effective. These two criteria are two of the hardest to pull off when it comes to poison. Because one— how would you condense the blood until it's hard enough? And two— no sane person would swallow an unknown substance by their own volition.
But once I managed to do it, the Bloodborne poison would melt in the mouth of the victim, and the mixture of herbs that reacted to the condensed blood would be released, corroding everything in its path. It won't take long before the head will completely get corroded and then the victim will die just like that.
Easier said than done, to be honest.
Once I finished the herbs I was mixing, I immediately cut a portion of my wrist and let my blood flow freely from it. Even until now, I still can't believe that I have blood. I mean, I died five years ago and if I had blood, then it would've been drained long ago. And yet, right now, I'm right here, seeing the thick and viscous red liquid dripping from my wrist.
”ARGH!” White suddenly screamed as a White Light erupted in the room. When the light finally dissipated, I saw White, floating in mid-air as blue lightning surrounded him. He looked like that certain person in ultra instinct mode but the only difference was there was lightning with him. And adding to that, his eyes were bright white as well.
My adrenalin suddenly reacted to White as it detected a life-threatening situation. Right now, White has stepped into a different Realm altogether and his strength was on par with the Guardian, if not stronger. And as for his Qi Energy, it was so vast that I couldn't even fathom the greatness of it.
So this is the true strength of a cultivator in the Middle Plane. And he's already one of the weakest there is.
After draining two pints of blood from my System, I felt a bit woozy but I held it in. With the help of my Qi Energy and the Blood Element, I managed to condense the two pints of blood into a cube no smaller than a millimeter cubed in volume. The dark reddish and blackish color of it made it seem more like a unique gemstone rather than blood. I then proceeded to inject the mixture of herbs inside it.
In that instant, I saw how the poison corroded the condensed blood from the inside out. Before, it had a dark reddish and blackish hue, but now, it had the color of dark purple, just like the presumed color of poison.
”Yongrui, are you done?” White asked. ”I can't hold him for much longer.”
<Skill: Blink activated.>
”Yes, I'll help you out.” I responded as I teleported towards his side.
With my Berserk Mode and Virus Madness, I felt great power surging from my body. Even though I feel a bit woozy, I still had the strength within me to fight.
Smash!
The moment I punched the Guardian, it flew backward for a few meters before hitting the ground. I didn't give it time to recover and I immediately activated my Wind and Fire Element, shooting one of the high-grade elemental techniques I learned from a while back.
Wind-Fire Tornado!
It doesn't sound sophisticated but I swear it's one of the strongest techniques out there.
”White, can you go over there and force its mouth open. Just for a split second will do.” I called out.
White nodded.
Before the Guardian could stand up, it was hit by a tornado composed of wind and fire. And then White appeared near the Guardian and stuck his sword in its mouth.
”NOW!” White screamed as the Guardian screamed with him.
