Chapter 335 Internal Victory, External Defeat: Healing in Blood Beast Valley (Bonus Chapters galore, please!!!)
The blood wine of Drunken Immortal Lake instantly stirred up a huge wave. With such a large meteorite crashing down, even Zhuo Shouyun could no longer pursue it and had to prioritize dodging the attack.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Once the aftershocks had completely subsided, Zhuo Shouyun flew over from the side, followed closely by Jian Nanxing. After searching for a while, they discovered that only two of the five people who had set up the formation remained.
His face was extremely pale. He had come in full of vigor, actively seeking revenge on Wang Yu, but now this was the result. How ironic.
His pride would not allow such a catastrophic defeat to occur!
"Jian Nanxing, if you find Wang Yu again, are you confident you can defeat him?"
"this--"
Jian Nanxing hesitated for a moment, the image of Long Xingyun's miserable state flashing through his mind, and finally he calmed down.
“Normal combat is not a problem, but if you want to take him down, or even kill him... I'm afraid you're not up to the task! Please forgive me, Young Master Yun.”
Zhuo Shouyun lowered his eyes, making no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction.
These two are already rare geniuses in the world. Especially since the struggle with Zhuo Shouqing requires avoiding members of family factions, the abilities of these two and Fu Xiao are even more precious.
Talent and aptitude are the reasons he tolerated the emergence of free will in them.
But if it doesn't bring him victory, then his tolerance will be meaningless and will only be seen as a sign of weakness and vulnerability.
A moment of silence.
"Let's leave it at that for now..."
It seemed that Zhuo Shouyun was going to give up the hunt? Jian Nanxing had just had this thought in his mind when he suddenly stopped.
A blood tendril suddenly grew from his chest.
Dense runes gradually covered his entire body, centered on him. His willpower gradually faded, and his vision was filled with a bright red.
"You...you..."
Using coercive measures on his subordinates is a traditional skill of the demonic path, and Zhuo Shouyun would never refrain from doing it, but his methods are more sophisticated and covert.
Having already paid such a high price to hunt down Wang Yu, how could they possibly give up? The costs alone are already too great to be easily overlooked.
Not killing Wang Yu would be a huge loss!
Killing Wang Yu would be a small loss!
Caught in this mental vortex, Zhuo Shouyun must gather his strength and try again.
The other two late-stage Core Formation cultivators who had miraculously survived immediately knelt down and shouted, "We are willing to risk our lives to help you, young master, and we will make sure that Wang Yu suffers a terrible death!"
Unfortunately, Zhuo Shouyun did not respond to them as he had before.
The Blood Path Secret Technique also spread among them. When his power was insufficient, he needed his subordinates to obey orders without question and he also needed to unite all forces that could be united.
The hunting team must win this time to have a chance of achieving this.
He has no cost left to make mistakes.
Just as Zhuo Shouyun was failing, the external situation was completely the opposite, developing in his favor, about eight months ago.
The Siege of Cloud City.
Unexpectedly, it turned into a counter-encirclement campaign.
The successive retreats of Zuo Qiuming and Yu Xing caused Zhuo Shouqing to completely lose some of his trump cards, such as the fourth-tier talisman treasure in Yu Xing's hands.
It was originally intended as a trump card for Fu Xiao or other hidden masters.
The three forces surrounding Cloud City have staked all of Zhuo Shouqing's resources, and he has absolute faith in the opportunity he has chosen.
Victory is within reach!
However, reality dealt him a harsh blow: the blocking forces on the left and right flanks failed to support the main battlefield, and the encirclement tactic came to nothing.
Huang Jiu was restrained by Fu Xiao's array power, but his assassins were no match for Zhuo Shouyun and his fellow cultivators who were properly recruited.
and.
The appearance of one person completely plunged him into despair.
"Lu Chenzhou!"
This guy should have been locked up in solitary confinement.
For some unknown reason, he appeared in Cloud City. Without relying on the power of the formation, he fought Huang Jiu, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, to a standstill, relying solely on his own cultivation strength.
It's clear that he was hiding a great deal of strength when he fought Wang Yu last time.
Fu Xiao shifted his focus to the main battlefield, immediately expanding his advantage further. Zhuo Shouqing suffered heavy losses, with a casualty rate approaching 60%, and was ultimately forced to retreat.
Evil God's Enforcement Hall.
The once magnificent and splendid furnishings were smashed to pieces, and cracks were everywhere on the walls. Zhuo Shouqing's eyes were bloodshot as he gasped for breath, muttering to himself.
"Why...why...why?!"
He couldn't understand why the person he trusted most had betrayed him.
Even if Wang Yu left him, he did not believe that Zuo Qiuming and Yu Xing would betray him. The three of them had formed a deep friendship since they were six years old.
We share both hardship and happiness.
"Why did it turn out like this...?"
"Because of profit! Wake up!"
The disheveled Zhuo Shouqing suddenly turned around and saw that it was Zhuo Yuanshen who had suddenly appeared. He then roared in a fit of rage.
"Was it you? Did you betray me?!"
Zhuo Yuanshen, with his slightly thin frame, stood tall and exuded the air of a venerable elder, his voice filled with strong confidence.
"Young Master Shouqing, failure is not terrible; what is terrible is being completely defeated. You still have a chance..."
"Opportunity? Are you kidding me!"
Zhuo Yuanshen shook his head, took out an intelligence jade slip, and threw it in front of Zhuo Shouqing.
"Look, this is why your two brothers betrayed you."
Zhuo Shouqing staggered, his fingers trembling as he picked up the jade slip. He touched it with his divine sense, and a large amount of information quickly flooded into his mind.
The information on this document has been embellished by Zhuo Yuanshen.
From Yu Xing's "unhesitating" betrayal of him and his choice of the Earth Emperor's Holy Blood, to Zuo Qiuming's "order" to kill Zhuo Shouqing's assassins and his choice of the secret technique given by the enemy.
Zhuo Shouqing felt his throat was very dry and even had some difficulty breathing.
Put yourself in his shoes; if he were faced with such temptation...
Will I really refuse?
It should be understood that the essence of this conflict between the two Zhuo brothers was that he wanted to restore his incomplete blood spirit root, and the other party's purpose was unclear, but he agreed to it.
He felt that what Zhuo Shouyun wanted was the right to inherit his lineage.
The conflict stemmed from the discontent of those born into extraordinary circumstances yet living ordinary lives. They possessed resources unimaginable to ordinary people, yet struggled to break through due to deficient spiritual roots.
How can we tolerate this?
thus.
Regardless of whether there are any issues with the details of this intelligence, its authenticity and credibility are very high, judging from the results.
He then recalled Wang Yu's assessment of Zhuo Yuanshen.
An ambitious and cunning person!
Before Zhuo Shouqing could recover from his injuries, Zhuo Yuanshen continued, "I have another plan here. If you use it, you might be able to turn the tide. If you don't... you'll just have to wait for Wang Yu to come out of the Blood Abyss."
Zhuo Shouqing took a deep breath, as if a drowning person had grasped at the last straw, and said hoarsely.
Tell me about it.
"Yuan Shen remembers that Senior Huang Jiu is Young Master Ming's uncle, a pseudo-Nascent Soul Realm expert, and he may leave because of Young Master Ming's departure."
“If he leaves, Young Master Qing’s chances of winning will be even lower. We might as well use this method… in this way, to make full use of his value.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Shouqing hesitated slightly.
But soon, after being persuaded by Zhuo Yuanshen with both emotion and reason, he nodded in agreement to the plan.
"Then... let's do it one more time."
…………
…………
Blood Abyss Holy Land, located near the core Blood Demon Sea.
A place called—[Blood Beast Valley].
Wang Yu, wrapped in a blood-sac robe, plunged in. The area was teeming with blood beasts, making it a perfect barrier that gave him ample time to heal.
At this time, he was also unaware of Zhuo Shouqing's crushing defeat.
If Wang Yu knew that he trusted Zhuo Yuanshen, he would definitely curse his incompetent teammate.
Even if he were outside the world, he would be helpless upon learning of Yu Xing and Zuo Qiuming's "betrayal".
after all.
Given his keen eye for people, he had reminded Zhuo Shouqing more than once to trust his two brothers. The situation changed so quickly that even with his thick skin, he felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, he didn't know.
Near a den of blood wolves numbering a thousand, Wang Yu temporarily carved out a cave dwelling and hid inside, converting all six slots into [Corpse Demon Secret Technique]!
With six times the efficiency, it only took seven days to condense three more "Yin Blood Pills" and consume them all again, and its two legs recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Only the right arm is still a little lacking.
Therefore, he continued to accumulate Yin blood using secret methods, and it took him a full half month to recover and become a healthy person again.
After readjusting the placement of the cameras, Wang Yu finally relaxed and stretched his slightly weak new hands and feet.
After the Blood Abyss trip, I feel that this effective Corpse Demon Secret Technique should be upgraded to the fourth tier when I have time.
This secret technique is truly powerful.
Despite such severe injuries, he recovered in just half a month, which greatly increased his margin for error in battle. It is a top-tier secret technique that can enhance his strength.
Thank you, Su Yulong.
To be honest, Zhuo Shouyun didn't see this person during the ambush, and he doesn't know what he was assigned to do.
Having suffered a great loss this time, Wang Yu was certain that Zhuo Shouyun would make a comeback, and he was quite interested in the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure [Rakshasa Heavenly Demon Bell] that was dormant in Zhuo Shouyun's possession.
He had already read the jade slip containing his divine sense that Ding Ming had given him.
The most valuable of these is the "Rakshasa True Demon Scripture" in the Nascent Soul stage, which requires absorbing the energy of the demon to lay the foundation for the demonic path.
The method of laying the foundation is in the first half.
It should be a breakthrough technique used to refine demonic energy when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. In other words, this technique cannot be cultivated without the first half.
No wonder Ding Ming felt so miserable.
As for whether the placement bar can avoid this requirement, Wang Yu felt it was not possible for the time being, because its cultivation method was through the Nascent Soul stage.
He doesn't have a Nascent Soul yet, and no matter how powerful the placement skill is, it can't change this prerequisite. Once he condenses his Nascent Soul, the outcome will be different.
However, according to ancient records...
The origin of the demonic path in this world comes from various indescribable—[demons]!
Refining the demonic energy they exude is the best way to enter the path of demonic cultivation. Often, only one type can be refined, and it signifies the choice of a path.
The Frozen Demon Qi would be suitable for Wang Yu, but the Killing Demon Qi, which represents the Path of the Mind, is also a power worth coveting. Choosing between them would be truly difficult.
Fortunately, there's no rush now. He'll face a choice when he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage. There's always a way out. His understanding of demonic energy is too shallow.
At this stage, we cannot access such secrets. When our cultivation level is higher, we will naturally be able to learn about them through the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
There's no need to rush.
After putting away the jade slip containing the "Rakshasa True Demon Scripture," Wang Yu needed some time to recover.
