Chapter 406 The Blood Mist Technique

After carefully sensing it, Yaoyue immediately realized something was wrong.

Unlike the water mist condensed by the Jellyfish Yin Ji, this one simply uses the "Divine Water Technique" to condense dense water droplets to fill the surroundings, and then spreads true essence to cover the surroundings.

If needed, Jellyfish Yin Ji can use her true essence to control the surrounding water mist.

Since Dongfang Bubai did not know the "Divine Water Technique," he naturally could not control water like the Water Mother Yin Ji.

The blood mist that filled the surroundings at this moment, although covering only a range of no more than three zhang, was entirely formed from Dongfang Bubai's true essence. The true essence was surrounded by a vortex of energy, and filled with sword intent.

It was because of the vortex of energy surrounding these true essences that the blood mist was not affected when the energy waves burst forth from Yaoyue's body.

"This woman has actually been practicing this all this time."

The fact that Dongfang Bubai could completely dissolve and condense his true essence into mist demonstrates an astonishing level of precision in his control over true essence.

Even Yaoyue herself admitted that she could not do what Dongfang Bubai was doing, dispersing her true essence into mist and condensing it without dissipating it.

Before Yaoyue could react, she suddenly felt that she had lost her ability to lock onto Dongfang Bubai's aura.

Not only that, but also because of the hazy blood mist surrounding them, Yaoyue could hardly see Dongfang Bubai's figure.

Only then did Yaoyue realize that Dongfang Bubai had actually infused spiritual energy into the surrounding blood mist.

Under the influence of these spiritual energies, Yaoyue's six senses were inevitably affected.

Almost as soon as Yaoyue noticed the problem within the blood mist, a fair and jade-like hand quietly emerged from it.

When the palm broke through the air and pushed aside the surrounding layers of airflow, it made not a sound at all.

At this moment, a warning suddenly arose in Yaoyue's heart. Then, as her true energy circulated within her body, a terrifying repulsive force burst forth from behind her.

The moment the energy burst forth, it blocked the hand behind them.

In response, Yaoyue used the "Transferring Flowers and Jade" technique to control her inner energy, sweeping it behind her while she quickly turned around.

But as Yaoyue turned around and her gaze shifted, all she could see was a thick fog of blood, with no trace of Dongfang Bubai in sight.

But that sudden attack just now sent a chill down Yaoyue's spine.

The next second, as Yaoyue focused her attention and became vigilant, Dongfang Bubai's figure reappeared in front of her amidst the surging of the surrounding blood mist.

Moreover, it rushed out from in front of Yaoyue in an instant.

This process also caught Yaoyue somewhat off guard. By the time she reacted, Dongfang Bubai's hand was less than three feet away from Yaoyue's chest.

As she regained her senses, Yaoyue suddenly shifted her body and raised her hand in response.

As their palms met, Yaoyue took two steps back, and Dongfang Bubai also used the force of the palm strike to disappear back into the surrounding blood mist.

In the following quarter of an hour, Dongfang Bubai appeared and disappeared like a ghost, taking advantage of the surrounding blood mist.

Based on the insights of Dongfang Bubai, Shuimu Yinji, and Yaoyue into martial arts, they naturally knew that the strength of a martial artist lay in their own utilization of martial arts techniques.

Therefore, both Shuimu Yinji and Yaoyue combined their own martial arts with sword intent to create a kind of domain-like technique, which allows them to anticipate the enemy's moves and execute them at will.

However, Dongfang Bubai's "Sunflower Manual" is different from the "Flower Shifting and Jade Grafting" of the Yihua Palace and the "Divine Water Technique" of the Shenshui Palace.

The Sunflower Manual is a martial art that takes an unconventional approach, emphasizing maximizing the speed of movement and attack to achieve victory through speed and employing tricky and unpredictable moves.

Because Dongfang Bubai practiced the "Sunflower Manual," his martial arts improvement and research direction could not be the same as Yaoyue's or Shuimu Yinji's.

However, the principles of martial arts themselves often lead to the same goal, despite different paths.

Although Dongfang Bubai could not achieve the level of anticipating the enemy's moves and striking first by forming a domain with his own martial arts like Shuimu Yinji and Yaoyue, he would study the characteristics of the Sunflower Manual and maximize its advantages.

Subsequently, combining the characteristics of the waters of the jellyfish Yin Ji, Dongfang Bubai developed his own unique domain technique.

Using his own true essence, spiritual energy, the power of heaven and earth, and sword intent, he transformed into a blood mist that covered the surroundings, thus obscuring the enemy's perception. At the same time, he could also use this blood mist to hide his figure, making his speed even more unpredictable and difficult for the enemy to counter.

This allows us to turn a passive situation into an active one.

During this time, Dongfang Bubai called Xue Qianxun and had her help him adapt to this fighting style.

Over here, after dealing with the situation one after another, Yaoyue also understood the path that Dongfang Bubai had been researching in martial arts during this period.

But precisely because she understood, Yaoyue's sense of gravity only intensified.

Others may not know, but Yaoyue, who has fought Dongfang Bubai thousands of times, is well aware of Dongfang Bubai's advantages.

It was precisely because they knew how much Dongfang Bubai's strength and reaction time, coupled with the surrounding blood mist that could obscure others' perception, could enhance Dongfang Bubai's strength.

At this moment, as her true energy was gathering momentum within her body, Yaoyue's gaze swept across her surroundings.

A moment later, as if sensing something, Yaoyue raised her hands, pushed her palms forward slightly, and then suddenly separated them.

As she moved, circular barriers of true energy, filled with repulsive force, instantly condensed around Yaoyue.

At the instant these dozens of layers of true essence barriers condensed, dozens of sword energies rapidly pierced through the surrounding blood mist, rushing towards Yaoyue from different angles before being blocked by these true essence barriers.
