“Crack!”
The blood saber instantly shattered into pieces.
But the lightning showed no signs of stopping, continuing to strike down towards Shen Tuo.
Watching the lightning descend, Shen Tuo almost suffocated.
“Block it for me!”
In an instant, Shen Tuo’s entire body turned crimson, like a cooked shrimp.
Subsequently, fresh blood gushed out from his seven orifices and every pore on his skin.
The fresh blood quickly gathered, forming a blood cocoon that tightly enveloped him.
“Blood Spirit Cocoon Great Art!”
Many people from Blood Peak present naturally recognized the method Shen Tuo was using at a glance.
This method, named the Blood Spirit Cocoon Great Art, is a Heaven-Defying secret art used in critical moments to reverse the flow of blood throughout the body, thereby forming a blood cocoon within to protect oneself.
It would only be used in a desperate, life-or-death situation!
“I never thought Senior Brother Shen Tuo would be forced to this extent.”
“The Blood Spirit Cocoon Great Art requires reversing the direction of blood flow, which places no small demands on a Cultivator’s Blood Dao.”
“One careless mistake, and if the blood flows too strongly in reverse, it could directly burst the heart!”
“There’s no other way; who knew that kid’s Thunder Dao would be so powerful!”
Everyone present immediately began to discuss.
Others might not understand, but to force Shen Tuo to this point, this Qin Xuan’s mastery of Thunder Dao was already terrifying.
As everyone discussed, the Purple-Gold Thunder instantly surged towards the blood cocoon.
“Crackling!”
A circle of lightning glow instantly formed on the blood cocoon.
“Sizzle!”
A foul, fishy smell wafted from the blood cocoon.
The lightning was continuously stimulating the scent from the blood cocoon.
“Senior Brother Shen Tuo won’t be killed by this lightning, will he?”
A Disciple from Blood Peak asked nervously.
Hearing this, several others nearby immediately glared in anger.
“You idiot, if you can’t speak, then don’t speak! What do you mean Senior Brother Shen Tuo is going to be killed by lightning? What a joke! This is a blood cocoon; how could he die so easily?”
“Exactly, Senior Brother Shen is a blessed man; as long as he doesn’t die this time, his strength will surely advance further.”
Several Disciples from Blood Peak spoke up.
“Qin Xuan, now is the perfect time! Give him some more lightning, and you can kill him!”
Han Ye said in Qin Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
“Han Lao, there’s no need to rush; it’s not time yet.”
“Killing him would be as easy as flipping a hand; I want to see what mysteries his blood cocoon holds.”
After obtaining the complete Blood Extremes Scripture earlier, Qin Xuan had seen something similar to a blood cocoon described within it.
In the Blood Extremes Scripture’s description, this type of blood cocoon could only be used in extremely critical moments.
Moreover, after using the blood cocoon, a Cultivator’s combat power would significantly increase for a short period.
Of course, there were also many side effects.
After using the blood cocoon, there would be a large loss of Qi and blood, and one would not be able to fight again for a short time, otherwise, it would be seeking death.
“It seems this Shen Tuo was indeed pushed to a dead end, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made this choice without considering the consequences.”
Qin Xuan pondered, simply standing in place, coldly observing the blood cocoon, with no intention of acting right now.
He was not in a hurry to act at this moment.
He wanted to see how much Shen Tuo could grow after releasing this blood cocoon.
“I also want to test how strong the Thunder Manifestation is under the Golden Thunder Body. If you’re too weak to take a beating, then it’s meaningless.”
From the very beginning, Qin Xuan had planned to use this Shen Tuo to practice.
After the Golden Thunder Body, his Thunder Manifestation had improved rapidly, and he just needed a suitable opponent.
This Shen Tuo had good combat power, and his Realm was also Heaven Profound Realm Ninth Level.
If he were killed so easily, wouldn’t that be a waste?
Making the best use of everything and everyone’s talents; this was Qin Xuan’s consistent principle.
“Haha, we’re sure to win!”
Seeing Qin Xuan standing still, with no intention of rushing forward to act, several Disciples from Blood Peak present immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Not bad, not bad!”
“Senior Brother Shen is indeed easier to deal with before the blood cocoon is fully formed; this is the weakest moment, yet he still doesn’t act. Isn’t this heaven helping our Blood Peak?”
A Disciple from Blood Peak said joyfully.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan turned his head and glanced at this Disciple.
“Interesting, it seems this Blood Peak Disciple wants Shen Tuo to die. He’s deliberately saying such words in front of me, isn’t he reminding me?”
Qin Xuan pondered in his heart.
It seems this Blood Peak is not a monolith; some people indeed want to see Shen Tuo die here.
Not only did this person want Shen Tuo to die, but among the other besiegers, many had been humiliated by Shen Tuo in the past, and at this moment, they naturally hoped Qin Xuan would kill Shen Tuo.
“This Qin Xuan is really stupid enough. At a time like this, he still doesn’t go up to finish him off. What is he doing?”
Someone looked at Qin Xuan with doubt, their words very impolite.
Hearing this, someone next to them frowned and shook their head.
“Things might not be that simple. It’s better to wait and see. Regardless of which of these two makes a move, we’ll know our chances of winning against them later.”
After all, after this life-and-death battle, they would compete for those twenty spots.
Since that was the case, it was a good opportunity to observe and see what the combat power of these two truly was.
Qin Xuan, meanwhile, stared at the blood cocoon in front of him.
As the Purple-Gold Thunder dissipated, he could sense that the aura within the blood cocoon was constantly rising.
Even Qin Xuan secretly nodded.
“This Shen Tuo indeed has some tricks up his sleeve. Putting aside everything else, judging from the aura within the blood cocoon now, it has already surpassed the Peak of Heaven Profound Realm Ninth Level, faintly possessing the strength of the quasi-Yuqing Realm!”
“I just don’t know how much strength he will have when he emerges from the blood cocoon.”
