Faced with hundreds and thousands of bloody corpses, Xiao Yuhan realized that it was impossible to refine so many from the corpses of the Five Immortals Cult members who had been killed before. It was conceivable how many of these people were innocent civilians who had died.
Liu Jiantang drew his sword and fought fiercely. These blood corpses felt no pain, and even if their heads were cut off, they would still attack living beings unconsciously. To him, the strength of these blood corpses was nothing. However, Long Tu was still watching him from not far away. Continuing to fight like this was not a wise choice.
Wherever his Dragon-Slaying Immortal Sword passed, there were no survivors. But these things were really strange. Unless they were reduced to ashes, even if only one hand remained, they would still attack him. What Liu Jiantang was most powerful was his elusive and unpredictable movement technique.
At this moment, he had thought about it for a long time. Even if he had the ability to escape, he was unwilling to leave. He only wanted to annihilate these things here at this moment, so that at least the culprit, Long Tu, could not live.
Without hesitation, Liu Jiantang transformed into a streak of light and attacked Long Tu. However, Long Tu seemed to have anticipated his actions and was not afraid at all. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, intending to use the same trick he had used to deal with Xiao Yuhan on Tianjian Sect Mountain, and use the poison in his palm to finish off the man who was known as the number one sword immortal.
Although Liu Jiantang was arrogant, he was by no means stupid. He remembered clearly how Xiao Yuhan had suffered a loss at his hands before, so he was not foolish enough to fight back. He immediately used the Seven Deadly Slaying Dragons, and the terrifying sword intent cut through the rocks, causing the forbidden area of the Blood King Cave to almost collapse.
Long Tu naturally wouldn't let Liu Jiantang's plan succeed, so he summoned some of the more powerful blood corpses to attack Liu Jiantang together.
A moment later, Liu Jiantang's steps were halted. Long Tu flew away to a distance and laughed loudly, "Liu Jiantang, do you know how great this Blood King Gu is? Even the first leader of the Blood God Sect could never have done this. My Long family has gone through three generations. From my grandfather proposing the idea of combining blood and Gu, to me truly completing it, how could you possibly win?"
The white-robed swordsman snorted coldly, slashing with his sword. Sword energy crisscrossed, severing limbs and fragments littering the ground. "Hmph! Heretical and unorthodox methods, overestimating yourselves! Is that all? Nothing special! At most, they'll just waste my time!"
At this moment, a sinister glint flashed in Long Tu's eyes from afar. "Hahaha, these are certainly not enough to deal with you, but what about her? My dearest sister... can she handle you?"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Jiantang instinctively replied, "I have already sworn that I will not show any mercy to Long Xiaoyu. Even if she tries to stop me from killing you today, I will not show any mercy..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Jiantang froze on the spot, watching a figure in red emerge from the horde of blood corpses. The woman who had been turned into a blood corpse was unrecognizable, with long white hair. Although he could no longer tell who she was from her face, Liu Jiantang recognized the love chain he had personally placed on her wrist years ago, and he also recognized the sword that she never parted with.
In this situation, Liu Jiantang could no longer conceal his murderous intent. His veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth, roaring, "What the hell have you done?! She's your own sister! Why did you treat her like this?! You beast! I'll kill you!!!"
With this roar, Liu Jiantang gripped his sword in anger, gathering his strength. The sword intent filled the entire cave, and countless sword energies surged forth, sweeping across the entire forbidden area of the Blood King Cave without restraint. Even before the sword was drawn, it was already terrifying. Even though blood corpses were still crawling out of the blood pool, the crisscrossing sword energies had completely suppressed the scene.
Liu Jiantang slashed at Long Tu with his sword. This earth-shattering sword strike seemed to have the power to shake the heavens and the earth. The entire mountain where the Blood King Cave was located was cut down, and a ray of sunlight shone in from the sky. However, Long Tu was only injured by the aura brought by the sword energy. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he urged the red-clothed female blood corpse to attack Liu Jiantang.
This blood corpse was different from the others; its strength was almost on par with Liu Jiantang's. Her fearless fighting style was too much for Liu Jiantang to handle. Moreover, the white-robed swordsman was now wary of the blood corpse before him, and he was hesitant to touch her, afraid of hurting her.
However, the sword strike he unleashed in his anger had already consumed too much of Liu Jiantang's spiritual energy. Although it didn't affect the current battle, if he still had any reservations, it would eventually be completely depleted, not to mention that blood corpses were still continuously crawling out of the blood pool.
He didn't know how many innocent lives Long Tu had taken, but at this moment, the culprit was standing at a distance, watching him with smug satisfaction.
Enraged, Liu Jiantang charged at Long Tu like a madman once again. Long Tu was even more smug. He was no longer worried about Liu Jiantang, who was expending a lot of spiritual energy, and even dared to take the strongest sword in the world head-on.
While fighting Liu Jiantang, Long Tu said, "My sister, that fool, actually wanted to marry you. I tried my best to stop her back then, but I couldn't change her mind. In the end, it brought about the destruction of my family. What good are you self-proclaimed righteous people? If my sister had betrayed us, how could the Heavenly Sword Sect have attacked our headquarters back then? You are a hypocrite too! You deceived my sister's feelings, and now you're pretending to be sincere?!"
"Shut up! You heartless beast! You can even do this to your own sister!"
"Hehe...that was a gift I prepared for you myself, don't you like it?" Long Tu said with a sneer. At this moment, Liu Jiantang could no longer bear it.
Turning around and seeing the girl he once loved most now transformed into a grotesque, inhuman creature, he felt immense heartache. Finally, he hardened his heart and decided to end it all here.
But at this moment, Long Tu spoke up again, saying, "She has only become a blood gu. I can help her recover, but if you kill her now, she will never be able to recover."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiantang hesitated, unable to swing his sword. But at that moment, the red-clothed blood corpse's sword pierced his right chest. He widened his eyes, slapped her away with a palm, and restrained his strength so as not to hurt her.
But Long Tu said at this moment, "But I will not help her recover! Liu Jiantang, become my Blood Gu. I swear, you will become the strongest being in this world. Even a monster like Miao Xiaodie will not be a match for you or me!"
Liu Jiantang, clutching his wound, said weakly, "Don't even think about it!"
“From the moment you unleashed that sword strike in your rage, the blood and qi of the blood pool have been slowly eroding your body. Look, your speed has slowed down to the point where you can no longer dodge the attacks of this blood corpse…” Long Tu’s expression grew increasingly manic.
