"Alright, I've told you what happened back then, so you can die knowing why. Now it's time to begin the final ceremony." Xu Fu recounted his proud scheme from back then, and seeing the shocked looks on everyone's faces, he was satisfied enough. Now it was time to get down to business.
Upon hearing his words, Bi Linglong gripped Zu An's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly. Although she had already taken a detached view of life and death, she couldn't control her body's instinctive reactions.
Zuan patted her hand in comfort, then looked at Xu Fu: "What do you need us to do for this ceremony?"
Bi Linglong secretly admired him. Many men boasted endlessly on ordinary days, but when their lives were truly in danger, they all panicked and became completely flustered.
But Zu'an, whether facing the emperor before or Xu Fu now, remains calm and composed.
Moreover, it wasn't feigned composure, but genuine calmness, as if the concept of life and death didn't exist in his mind at all.
“It is rare to see a sacrificial offering as calm as you,” Xu Fu said with some surprise. “Naturally, you will be refined in this blood pool, your pure yang essence will be collected, and finally the power of the five elements will be combined to achieve immortality.”
Zuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "But I'm not a virgin anymore."
Bi Linglong: "???"
Mi Li: "..."
This guy's thinking is really unpredictable. The two of them were stunned for a while before they realized what he meant and they both cursed him inwardly.
Xu Fu was also completely bewildered. After a long while, he laughed and said, "Haha, it doesn't matter. Pure Yang Body and Pure Yin Body are different. There's no need to value that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have put my heart into Ying Zheng back then."
"Why doesn't a person with a pure yang body need to be a virgin?" Zu An said indignantly. If this were his previous life, he would have been beaten up by those online girls for saying such things.
"A virgin..." Xu Fu's eyelids twitched. Was this guy out of his mind?
Mi Li and Bi Linglong remained expressionless; they were already used to it.
He snorted coldly: "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. The Empress is still the Empress, and she should be respected. Let's start with you."
After he finished speaking, the blood pool on the ground surged, and a tentacle made of blood suddenly wrapped around Zu'an's body.
Although Zuan had been acting nonchalant, he was actually well-prepared. He used his Great Wind technique to get to Xu Fu's side and swung his longsword at him.
Xu Fu flashed and moved several feet to the side: "Oh, so it's the King of Qin's sword. You are not qualified to use this sword. Take it."
After saying that, he made his move, gripping the sword and pressing down hard, a tremendous force traveling along the blade to the hilt.
Zuan felt a jolt in his hand, and he almost lost his grip on the sword, but he didn't intend to hold on to it.
Soon, he had another black dagger in his hand, which he stabbed at a tricky angle towards the red tentacle to the side.
He knew that with the opponent's cultivation level, it would be difficult to pierce his main body, but the same would be true if the fatal dagger pierced other places.
As expected, Xu Fu clearly hadn't anticipated this turn of events, and one of his tentacles was severed.
Xu Fu frowned and rolled the tentacle in front of him: "Your fighting skills are quite impressive, kid."
Zuan's eyes widened: "How come you're alright?"
Xu Fu smiled and looked at the black dagger in his hand: "I feel a strong sense of death on it. Others might die on the spot if they were stabbed by this dagger, but I am different. I have long since given up my flesh and blood body. Now I have become one with this blood pool. Your dagger is naturally no threat to me."
Zaun didn't have a moment to be upset. Instead, he summoned the Ice Phoenix and unleashed the Snowflake Divine Sword, gradually forming a thin layer of ice on the blood pool.
Xu Fu frowned slightly, snorted, and flicked his sleeve. A surge of blood energy spread out, and the thin ice on it instantly shattered.
Without pausing, Zaun immediately summoned a fire phoenix and swooped into the blood pool, unleashing a double attack of ice and fire to see if he could evaporate the blood pool.
The blood pool quickly boiled, but unfortunately, it showed no sign of evaporating.
Xu Fu laughed and said, "Based on the secret techniques inherited from the deep sea, I combined the power of the five elements to refine three thousand boys and girls, along with so many experts from the Qin Palace who accompanied me. This blood pool is already impervious to water and fire, and is immortal and indestructible. How could you possibly deal with it using those methods?"
"If you were truly immortal, why would you be so obsessed with longevity?" Zu'an, refusing to believe it, charged forward again.
Unfortunately, the gap between the two sides was too large, and he was quickly knocked to the ground.
However, he had a strong ability to recover and charged forward again, only to be quickly defeated, and so on.
Seeing him covered in bruises, being beaten like a broken sandbag, Bi Linglong rushed to help, but after just one round, she was whipped so badly by the tentacles that her body was almost falling apart and she couldn't even get up. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great; she didn't even have the right to fight to the death.
Seeing Zuan's miserable state, her eyes were already wet with tears.
"Azu, let it go. We can't win. I'll die with you, so we won't be tortured anymore," she said, her voice trembling with tears.
Zuan spat out a mouthful of blood, chuckled, and said with exceptional determination in his eyes: "A person can be defeated, but not knocked down. How can you give up until the very last moment?"
Seeing this scene before her, Mi Li fell silent. She thought back to the first time she met him, when she had beaten him to a bloody pulp, but he had never given up and kept fighting...
Xu Fu nodded appreciatively: "You're quite tough, kid. And it seems you've even cultivated the Qin royal family's 'Primordial Chaos Scripture.' This body is quite good. With some refining, it's qualified to be my new body."
