Chapter 926: Chapter 368: Are You Actually the Blood Vengeance Saint?

In the dense fog dozens of meters away, Chu Xisheng was also panting heavily, with blood mist spraying from his mouth and nose.

The punch from General White Bone, Gu Yuanchen, shattered all of his internal organs, leaving only his ‘Pangu’ heart relatively intact.

However, with each breath he took, his body improved by several degrees.

The chaotic Qi veins in his body were also quickly adjusting and recovering.

Streams of crimson blood energy surged from within his body, transforming into blood-colored Jiao Dragons coiling around him externally.

His ‘Burial Sky Divine Dance’ had been activated,

enhancing his strength, speed, True Yuan, and so forth by five times their original levels, further bridging the power gap between them.

Once he had recovered about fifty to sixty percent of his injuries, Chu Xisheng grasped the scabbard of ‘Golden Shackles and Jade Locks’ and summoned all the shattered blade fragments of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Sabers back before him.

“Rewind!”

Chu Xisheng activated the ‘Eternal Existence’ ability of the scabbard, restoring the Golden Wind Jade Dew Sabers to their perfect state twelve hours prior.

Chu Xisheng’s Divine Sense was fully focused on searching for traces of Gu Yuanchen.

This White Bone General was moving quickly in the fog, attempting to avoid interaction with him.

The dense fog covering the entire square also provided convenience for Gu Yuanchen.

As long as he wasn’t locked onto by Chu Xisheng’s Divine Thought, he could evade the pursuit and slashing of the Nine Luminaries Divine Wheel Sword.

After searching with his Divine Sense for a moment, Chu Xisheng frowned.

Gu Yuanchen practiced cross-training for a Domineering Body, which wasn’t very adept at escape skills.

But this was only relatively speaking.

Before sealing his cultivation, after all, he was a Second Grade lower-ranked Martial Cultivator with Martial Arts mastery almost at the peak, and his physical attributes were comparable to those of the First Grade.

When Gu Yuanchen was fully committed to hiding and fleeing, Chu Xisheng was utterly powerless and simply couldn’t lock onto his whereabouts.

Several times he sensed Gu Yuanchen’s presence, but each time Gu Yuanchen quickly shook him off,

Gu Yuanchen even managed to escape Jian Cangfeng’s Heaven Measuring Technique, unaffected by ‘Near and Far.’

Just as Chu Xisheng was contemplating, slightly troubled, whether to use an Earth Evil Talisman, he noticed those ice mirrors floating in the air all pointing in one direction, reflecting Gu Yuanchen’s image on their surfaces.

As Gu Yuanchen moved at high speed, the angles of the ice mirrors also shifted.

It is One Sword Overturning City Wen Zhiyi!

Chu Xisheng was both surprised and somewhat flattered.

Could it be that this Ice City Empress is secretly assisting me?

At the same time, in the southeastern corner of the White Jade Square, Chu Yunyun also looked up, gazing at the slightly rotating ice mirrors.

A faint light flickered in her azure eyes, and a slightly mocking smile appeared on her lips.

Chu Xisheng was unaware of Chu Yunyun’s unusual state, having once again locked onto Gu Yuanchen in the thick fog using the guidance of the ice mirrors.

“Do you still want to know why? Sir, you’re too forgetful. The souls of thirty-seven thousand in Beicang Plain still yearn to devour your blood and flesh! And the debt you owe to the Demon God Zangtian must be repaid.”

Gu Yuanchen’s figure suddenly halted slightly, his pupils contracting sharply, “I almost forgot, you too are a Favored of Zangtian’s Divine Grace!”

Gu Yuanchen’s voice abruptly stopped, as the Nine Luminaries Divine Wheel Sword, under Chu Xisheng’s control, was pursued and arrived.

Instantly, hundreds and thousands of Sword Qi rained down, interlaced with the burning Innate Great Sun Divine Light.

The tunneling speed of these weapons surpassed even that of Gu Yuanchen.

They not only pursued incessantly like shadows but also continuously attempted to encircle and intercept from the front.

Chu Xisheng’s voice was ghostly cold, “About thirty-seven years ago, there was an Assistant General named Gu Rong in Bing Province. This person was a devotee of the Demon God Zangtian, brave, wise beyond compare, possessed remarkable talent and virtue, frequently achieving military success, and was deeply beloved by his soldiers, as well as favored by Zangtian.

However, the border army soldiers under his command had no idea; this person named Gu Rong harbored treacherous intentions. During the battle in Beicang Plain, he meticulously orchestrated strategies, causing tens of thousands of his soldiers and allied troops to fall into a precarious situation, besieged by the Giant Spirit Clan.

Gu Rong utilized the army of the Giant Spirit Clan to massacre his subordinates and used a secret technique to deceive Zangtian, obtaining his Divine Power, then absorbed the essence of his subordinates’ blood through the Emperor’s Secret Technique, completing the sect’s Blood Bone Great Method.

Following this battle, Gu Rong not only improved his Cultivation, eliminated the toxins in his body, refined his Bloodline Talent, extended his life expectancy by a hundred years, but also earned the favor of the Heavenly Destiny Demon Lord, soon after stepping into the Second Grade in one leap, becoming a renowned figure on the contemporary Earthly List—”

With Chu Xisheng’s voice, Chu Yunyun too turned her gaze towards Gu Yuanchen, her eyes flashing with a sharp murderous intent.

Regarding the disastrous defeat at Beicang Plain, Chu Yunyun had also heard of it.

In that battle, a total of thirty-seven thousand soldiers were annihilated in Beicang Plain, causing the elite troops from Bing Province to suffer a loss of nearly one-sixth.

For the next twenty years, there weren’t enough forces to suppress the dozen cities in the northeast of Bing Province, repeatedly attacked and plundered by the Giant Spirit Clan, leading to the tragic deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

At that time, the court treated this battle as a normal defeat, ultimately only caning Gu Rong and stripping him of his military position.

Unexpectedly, here lay such secrets—

Chu Yunyun knew the essence of the ‘Emperor’s Secret Technique’ was to battle using the Qi Blood Essence Power and spiritual will of his subordinates.

Since it was borrowed, it must be returned. After the fact, not only must it be returned, but it should also reciprocate some ‘interest.’

Leaders who followed the rules would typically reverse-feed their True Yuan back to their subordinates after using the ‘Emperor’s Secret Technique,’ helping to replenish their essence and restore Primordial Qi; helping to enhance their cultivation.
