CHAPTER 230: 166. DO AS YOU PLEASE, I AM OMNIPOTENT_3

The woman asked, "Bo Hong, have you lost your mind?"

The man named Bo Hong replied, "Although we can’t use it, it can be traded with others. As for the specifics, let’s ask Master to decide later."

The woman from the Southern Wilderness thought for a moment. "That sounds good."

She waved her hand, and the five Blood River Sect disciples of the Lower Three Heavens realm immediately dispersed, beginning their search.

Bo Hong remained vigilant, looking into the distance. "There are quite a few Upper Three Heavens powerhouses here, and Master can’t keep an eye on everyone," he warned. "We must be careful of Elder Tian or someone else suddenly appearing. Shuiying, get the Sheltering Spirit Veil ready."

The Blood River Sect woman named Shuiying said, "Don’t worry, I already have it prepared."

As she spoke, she took out a roll that seemed like gossamer but did not unfurl it just yet.

"The Sheltering Spirit Veil can only be used once, so we should avoid using it if possible," Shuiying said, her voice tinged with regret.

Bo Hong said, "It’s good enough if it can save our lives in a critical moment."

Shuiying replied, "Of course. It’s just a pity we don’t have more."

The Sheltering Spirit Veil was not a Spiritual Object refined by the Blood River Sect. Rather, it was the product of cooperation between two other branches of the Southern Witch Sect: the Descending Head and Divine Dance factions.

Infighting within the Southern Wilderness was bloody, and cooperation between experts of the two factions was rare indeed.

The raw materials for refining the Sheltering Spirit Veil were also incredibly scarce, unseen for many years.

Thus, this Spiritual Object was all the more precious.

It was by chance that Bo Hong and his disciples had acquired such a rare Spiritual Object.

No wonder Bo Hong and Shuiying cherished it so deeply, regarding it as a precious treasure.

Their disciples, after a careful search, gradually made a discovery: the hidden location in the mountains where the Pure Yang Qi was leaking.

Seeing this, Bo Hong said to Shuiying, "You’re better at breaking enchantments, so you should take the lead. Be careful, and don’t be reckless."

Shuiying said, "Okay, you provide cover."

She handed the roll of the Sheltering Spirit Veil to Bo Hong, then walked toward the mountains.

Bo Hong still watched to the north. The outcome of the battle there was still undecided.

However, a tang of blood wafted through the air.

Bo Hong was extremely sensitive to this. He noticed it immediately. Though he didn’t venture close, his body still trembled slightly with excitement.

Among the four great experts battling, someone was already injured.

It was the blood of an Upper Three Heavens powerhouse.

Such blood held an enormous allure for every Blood River Sect cultivator.

Bo Hong forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, regained his calm, and continued to stand guard.

But just then, he felt a sudden, slight premonition of danger in his heart.

The sensation was not strong.

But Bo Hong felt that the threat was already alarmingly close!

Who was approaching, and how had he failed to detect them sooner?

Since the adversary had already gotten so close, it was too late to deploy the Sheltering Spirit Veil.

Bo Hong had no time to turn around before intense Blood Qi erupted from his body, steaming around him like a blood mist and forming temporary protection.

But before the blood mist could truly disperse, something appeared above his head.

A short rod, thick on one end, thin on the other.

The thin end was held by Lei Jun.

The thick end struck Bo Hong’s head.

The Blood River Sect cultivator let out a miserable scream, his head caving in on the spot, his body immediately pitching forward.

Roused by Bo Hong’s startled cry, Shuiying, who was up ahead, turned her head only to see Lei Jun knock Bo Hong to the ground with his rod.

Lei Jun, however, raised his eyebrows, intrigued.

He lifted the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo in his hand and immediately swung a second time, aiming for Bo Hong, who was now slumped before him.

Even though Bo Hong had fallen, the dense Blood Qi that had been stimulated around his body hadn’t dispersed.

Although it hadn’t managed to intercept Lei Jun’s sudden first sneak attack, this Blood Qi, coalescing into a mist, still managed to briefly hinder Lei Jun’s second blow.

The blood mist was instantly shattered by Lei Jun’s swing, as the rod continued to plummet downward.

But Bo Hong, who had fallen forward, still managed to move, awkwardly rolling away in an attempt to dodge.

Lei Jun’s second strike landed on his shoulder.

With a CRACK, the Blood River Sect cultivator’s shoulder bones, including the scapula and collarbone, shattered, leaving his shoulder a bloody mess.

Shuiying hurriedly waved her hand, and several blood arrows shot from afar, attempting to block Lei Jun’s continued pursuit of Bo Hong.

Lei Jun cast an interested glance at Bo Hong.

He saw his opponent roll over to face him.

He wanted to get up, but his body slumped, and he fell to one knee.

His eyes, however, were blood-red, like those of an injured, enraged beast, as he stared at Lei Jun.

Lei Jun was unconcerned about his opponent’s emotions.

What caught his attention was that Bo Hong could still endure after being hit on the head with the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo.

Looking closely, one could see a caved-in area on Bo Hong’s head, from which blood gushed, covering his entire face.

However, the flesh around the wounds on his head and shoulder writhed, and they seemed to be slowly staunching and beginning to heal.

Although the healing seemed extremely slow due to the severity of the injuries, this Blood River Sect cultivator’s physical recovery ability was impressive enough to make Lei Jun take notice.

Lei Jun’s eyes lit up.

Bo Hong, on the other hand, felt his vision growing dark.

His cultivated Life-Bound Magic Art included Blood Battle and Unpredictable Flesh and Blood. If he had lacked either, Lei Jun’s blow from behind would have killed him instantly!

"Shuiying!"

Bo Hong bellowed, not wasting words. The long blade at his waist suddenly shimmered with blood light, howling as it left its sheath.

The Blood River Sect’s secret technique, Blood Battle, allowed a cultivator to temporarily increase their combat strength when injured. This meant that even with severe injuries, they could still maintain formidable combat prowess, giving them the capability to fight a bloody battle to the very end.

Bo Hong was extremely fierce and aggressive. Despite his serious injuries, he showed no sign of backing down or escaping. Bolstered by the Blood Battle technique, he even took the initiative to charge Lei Jun.
