Chapter 117: Living Human Blood Sacrifice, Exposing Strength
“Oh? A Nascent Soul stage cultivator like you, instead of staying properly at your teacher’s side, actually came here wanting to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool?” Wang Fei seemed to have heard some kind of joke, and could not help but laugh out loud.
Standing beside you, Lan Shang’s eyes flashed upon hearing this, and the way he looked at you gained a certain inexplicable meaning.
You did not answer Wang Fei’s question. Instead, you sent a voice transmission to Lan Shang. “Fellow Daoist Lan Shang, how does one open this Dragon Transformation Pool?”
“Do you see the altar in the center?” Lan Shang did not hesitate for even a breath, extending a hand to point at the altar.
“It requires a blood sacrifice of living people!!!”
The moment these words came out, every cultivator present was shocked!
Beside you, Wang Fei withdrew his gaze from you and looked at Lan Shang in utter disbelief, roaring, “Are you insane?!!! You actually said such a secret openly!”
“Lan Shang! What does Senior mean by this?”
All the cultivators present fell into an uproar. Clearly, before coming here, they had not known the conditions for opening the altar.
The Lan Clan members behind you also wore grave expressions.
Only you alone remained thoughtful, as if you did not care one bit about this matter of a living blood sacrifice.
“At this point, what is there to hide?”
“Fellow Daoists, make your move!”
The moment the words fell, the Spirit Transformation Perfection Realm cultivators from every major faction suddenly struck, targeting the cultivators who had followed them!
One realm, one heaven. When a Spirit Transformation Perfection Realm cultivator launched a sneak attack, how could the other Spirit Transformation cultivators possibly be their match?
You took in the entire scene of chaos before your eyes, then your gaze shifted, landing on Lan Shang, who was watching you with a smile on his face.
“Fellow Daoist Lan Shang, why aren’t you making a move?” you asked with curiosity.
Lan Shang turned his gaze toward the Lan Clan members who were guarding against him, and explained, “Every one of them is a disciple of my Lan Clan. As the Lan Clan direct line, how could I possibly raise a hand against my own people?”
From the eyes of the Lan Clan members, you saw a trace of hesitation, and inwardly you sighed.
The next second, Lan Shang continued, “If you Fellow Daoists do not believe me, then hurry and flee! The farther the better!”
“Run! I will let you go, but they won’t!” Lan Shang extended a hand, pointing at the Spirit Transformation Great Perfection cultivators who were slaughtering their companions.
The Lan Clan cultivators who had still been hesitating heard this, and their Spirit Transformation cultivation surged to life, transforming into streaks of soaring radiance as they fled into the distance!
You saw that the smile on Lan Shang’s face vanished the moment the crowd fled, replaced by an entirely different countenance.
Lan Shang’s tone turned grim, like the King of Hell in the Underworld. His gaze was dark as he watched the backs of the clan members departing, and he said, “I told you to flee, and you actually dared to flee!!!”
In the next second, you saw those fleeing cultivators fall from the sky one after another, lying on the ground without moving.
Lan Shang extended a hand and grabbed. The fallen crowd was pulled back by Lan Shang, not a single one missing, all thrown onto the altar.
By now, the altar was already piled full of the bodies of Spirit Transformation cultivators, nearly all of them barely breathing, looking as though they could die at any moment.
“Then, next it’s your turn!” Lan Shang looked at you once more, his eyes turning crimson, extremely unsettling.
You watched Lan Shang walking toward you step by step, and smiled as though unaware that danger was descending. You extended both hands and clapped, saying to Lan Shang, “Fellow Daoist truly has impressive methods!”
“First, you use a special incense to make everyone silently fall victim to poison, then you frighten them into circulating their cultivation to flee, causing the poison to take effect early and seal their cultivation, turning them into lambs ready for slaughter!”
“Oh? You sees through it?” Lan Shang’s footsteps paused, and his crimson gaze flickered.
“Stop wasting words with him. Kill him early and prepare the sacrifice!” Wang Fei, having beaten all the Deer-Chasing Academy disciples beside him into severe injuries and near death, looked toward you and spoke.
“Boy, instead of following your master properly, you actually came here to throw your life away. Then don’t blame your Martial-Uncle for being impolite!”
You chuckled and glanced at Wang Fei. At this moment, you had already sentenced Wang Fei to death in your heart!
Not seeing panic on your face made Lan Shang very displeased. “Boy, you’ve been poisoned by me. The moment you circulate your cultivation, your entire cultivation will be sealed. Even if the King of Heaven himself came now, he couldn’t save you!”
You offered no reply, only took a single step forward, walking toward Lan Shang.
Watching you approach step by step, a flicker of panic flashed through Lan Shang’s heart. “At a time like this, you still dare to play tricks? Die!!!”
Facing the furious strike of a Spirit Transformation Great Perfection cultivator, you did not circulate your cultivation. You only extended your right hand, clenched it into a fist, and met it head-on!
Boom————!
The fury on Lan Shang’s face was quickly replaced by a hint of terror. The physical body strength in your right fist erupted in full. With just one punch, you not only shattered Lan Shang’s furious strike, but even directly sent Lan Shang flying over a hundred meters away.
“Cough, cough. You, you’re actually a Body Cultivator!!!” Lan Shang crawled up from the rubble, spat out a mouthful of blood, and pointed at you, who still maintained the posture of a thrown punch, in terror.
“A Body Cultivator?!!!” Not far away, Wang Fei hurriedly retreated, pulling open a distance from you.
The dozens of other Spirit Transformation Great Perfection cultivators who had just finished their battles all turned their gazes toward you, their eyes full of vigilance.
“How’s that? Do I have the qualifications to participate in the Dragon Transformation Pool?” You withdrew your right hand, sweeping your gaze across everyone present, and asked in a low voice.
For a time, the entire altar fell silent. None of the Spirit Transformation Great Perfection cultivators spoke up.
“Alas, Fellow Daoist, the Dragon Transformation Pool has only fifteen spots. You see…”
You did not answer, only looked around at everyone present. Counting you and Xiao Long, there were seventeen people in total.
You took a step forward and suddenly appeared behind Lan Shang, throwing a heavy punch!
Lan Shang, who had long been on guard against you, suddenly produced a jade talisman in his hand. In the instant you struck, a force surged from the jade talisman, blocking your sneak attack.
Knowing you were a Body Cultivator, Lan Shang had no intention of fighting you in close combat at all. After taking your blow, he quickly pulled distance from you, watching you with a face full of caution.
The power of Heavenly Lightning surged beneath your feet. You took another step forward and once again appeared behind Lan Shang. This time, you held a broken Immortal Sword in your hand!
Boom————!
You swung the sword. The jade talisman in Lan Shang’s hand shattered directly, and the Immortal Sword’s residual power slashed fiercely into Lan Shang’s back.
“How, how could that be!” A bloody wound appeared on Lan Shang’s back. He no longer had the leisure to care about the pain, his gaze fixed dead on the shattered jade talisman in his hand, his eyes full of shock.
