36 Blood Dragon (1/2)

At the shadow mountain, Yunshi was levitating meditatively as his demonic aspect was fused with his torso. His hands were pressed against the shadow chains around the mountain, he was releasing intense shadow force dispelling the chains one by one.

The red river swirled in the skies as flew down towards the shadow mountain, flooding the skies in blood lightning. Wu Han's red war god grew in size as it approached the red river and raised its shield to guard.

”Hah!” He exhaled as he slammed the shield into the river redirecting it away from the shadow mountain. The river went flying towards the ground when suddenly it coiled like a snake and attacked towards Wang Shi.

”The Lady's Judgment!” She roared as the lady in the white tunic's aura burst into the skies. A powerful and just aura gathered into her sword, with one hand the scales of justice slammed down upon the river weakening it, with the other hand the sword of judgment came down slashing it in two.

The split river retained its vitality as it swished across the sky attacking both Wang Shi and Wu Han at the same time.

”Argh!” Wu Han growled as the red river slammed into his shield again throwing him and his aspect back.

”Scales of Justice!” Wang Shi roared as her aspect tightly gripped in her left hand the scales of justice and bore it down onto the red river once again. The red river turned into a wave as it dodged the scales crashing into Wang Shi's aspect.

”Argh!” Wang Shi grunted involuntarily as her and her aspect were thrown back a few meters. At that moment, Wu Han recovered his balance as he raised his shield guarding once again.

Wu Han's gaze was centered on the red lotus in the very middle, the red lotus rapidly spun and suddenly one of the leaves wilted and grayed in seconds.

”Wang Shi, try to hold on! This river won't last much longer!” Wu Han said as adjusted his defeated posture to stand strong and firm. He straightened his back and pushed out his chest emanating the masculine aura of a war god!

Wang Shi looked over at Wu Han listening intently when suddenly she saw hundreds of red lights shooting towards them from the west.

”Wu Han, look out!” She yelled but she was too late, suddenly a blood sword made of lightning shot through the sky. It cut right into Wu Han's aspect from behind forcing him to stagger forward.

”Pffftt.” Wu Han's aspect started to crack and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes turned red from the sheer pain as he tried to hold himself up in the air.

The red war god reached into its back and ripped out the sword in a swift motion. Nomological marks shined on its back as the hole sealed itself up. The malevolent red eyes of the war god and Wu Han turned to stare at the person who hurt it.

The first of the red beams transformed into a white-haired old man in crimson robes. On his back was a horned shadow demon with 9 crimson lines cascading down its abdomen. The rest of the red beams transformed into cloaked red figures, all had red lightning surround their body.

”You're the Blood sect's Third Elder, Alister.” Wang Shi said with stupor as she met his malevolent gaze.

”To think a child of Lustitia would know my humble name.” Alister sneered with a slightly closed-lip smile.

”You accrued quite a reputation for yourself in the last world tournament, with that accursed blood magic.” Wu Han said scowling, his muscles bulged as his red war god's aura grew.

”Such old matters from long ago, were children like you even alive back then?” Alister said as he pursed his lips and put his hands behind his back.

”You talk too much.” Wu Han growled as his red war god screeched rumbling the heavens, he raised his spear and pierced the air towards Alister. The sheer momentum parted the void as it generated a massive tempest.

”A mere Bloodline Refiner challenges me?” Alister sneered as he clenched his fists and got into a horse riding stance. Suddenly red lightning crackled along his body ascending to the skies, the powerful lightning rippled the void as it gathered into a blood red sword.

”Did you forget about me?” Wang Shi yelled as her aspect awoke as it brought down the scales of justice.

”Swoosh!” The red river shot through space and collided into the red river before it could approach Alister.

Alister's blood sword met Wu Han's spear at that moment, the huge collision of forces shot blood red energies into the void. The energies crashed into the ground like a meteor shower as they dissipated.

”Argh!” Wu Han grunted and took a half step back as the collision with the sword smashed his spear out of his hand. Alister took a step back himself as his blood lightning was parted by the spear's momentum.

”Not bad, you're bloodline is at the precipice of condensing its first essence.” Alister praised as he evaluated Wu Han's strength. Wu Han came from the Wu clan, one of the legendary 12 king bloodlines from Remote Antiquity. Wang Shi was the same coming from the legendary Wang clan.

Bloodline cultivators first awaken their bloodline becoming a rank 1 Awakener, then they catalyze becoming a Rank 2 catalyzer, then they refine their bloodline awakening their ancestral totem and becoming a Rank 3 refiner.
