Chapter 451: Li Xianyi’s Counterattack

Tension was building up over the basin of blood. With his sword in his hand, Li Xianyi would never be passively forced into a defensive position. As a matter of fact, swordsmen were the most resolute Practitioners in the world.

Before the stone coffin was fully open, Li Xianyi’s white jade sword was already set in motion. Immediately columns of blood rose from the basin, transforming into a giant, powerful hand that served as an effective obstacle in the path of the sword!

With perfect poise, Li Xianyi hovered in the air. Boundless sword energy gushed out of his body, splitting the boiling pool of blood in halves and aiming straight towards the stone coffin!

Yet again, a wall of blood rose from the basin, blocking off every single beam of sword energy. However, the bombardment of attacks had successfully slowed down the opening of the coffin cover.

Unfettered, Li Xianyi’s invincible sword energy mercilessly shot towards the blood pool. The basin was blown apart instantly.

This time, Li Xianyi’s unbelievable speed was beyond the expectations of the spirit in the remains. But the latter was not weak either. It was actually able to match Li Xianyi even from within its coffin.

It could gain an edge if it stalled for time. But at the moment, Li Xianyi adopted offensive tactics as a form of defense, sparing no chance for his enemy to recharge. He wanted to give it a good drubbing before it got out of its coffin!

Unwilling to wait any longer, the coffin suddenly exploded. With it, a figure rose into the air!

A thick layer of blood shielded the creature inside. Slowly, blood sank into the figure’s body, transfiguring into a human!

Li Xianyi’s brows were even closer now. He certainly did not expect to see a human-shaped creature. Blood cocoons had subsided into its snowy skin. Its shoulder-length hair was wavering in the air with its blood-red cloak.

However, it seemed that it had yet to finish its transformation yet. Spots of blood were still visible on its left chin, providing an eerie addition to its handsome countenance.

Hovering in the air, the creature drew another column of blood from the pool with a raise of its hand, sending it to be absorbed by its body. Then, the creature spoke, in human language, “I have been in a slumber too long. I shall grant your wishes since you seek your death here. After that, I will bury all humans in this underground world. Then, your identity would be of some use to me when I go for a walk in your world. Fancy the idea?”

It could actually extract information needed, such as knowledge of the human world or even language techniques, from blood.

As it spoke, the creature pulled out a mask from its red cloak and placed it nicely on its face. Instantly it had metamorphosed into Li Xianyi!

Its ability of information extraction and flawless alteration of its appearance would really allow it to survive unsuspected in the human world!

Li Xianyi frowned. “I’m afraid you cannot survive today.”

It was a strange feeling to fight himself. But Li Xianyi knew very well that it was only a strange mask.

Right at that explosive point, Li Xianyi heard a clear and melodious voice from behind. “Old man, have you seen Lu Shu? I’m looking for him!”

Li Xianyi turned to see Lu Xiaoyu standing alone outside the shattered stone door. She was just so adorable. Li Xianyi replied after a short pause, “I saw him inside the palace, but I don’t know where he is now.”

Lu Xiaoyu nodded. “Okay. I shall keep looking then.”

“From blood spirit’s distress, +499…”

“Are you done?” the blood spirit asked, its voice icy.

Until then Lu Xiaoyu noticed the blood spirit for the first time. She was dumbstruck for a second. “Old man, it’s cosplaying you! Is it your fan?! But shouldn’t the main focus be on the clothes? It’s my first time to see a cosplayer copying one’s face and nothing else…”

“From blood spirit’s distress, +666!”

Is it really a cosplay show?! Can you be a little more serious with two Class A’s here?

Lu Xiaoyu shot another glance at the blood spirit. “Then, I shall continue looking for Lu Shu!”

The blood spirit fixed her with a frosty stare. “Did I say you could leave?”

Lu Xiaoyu was displeased. “Quickly take him down, grandpa.”

At this moment, a golden ball of light suddenly drifted down the blood-red current. Li Xianyi turned to see Lu Shu leisurely surfing with his divine water!

The divine water was his boat, while the blood-stained current pushed him forward. Against the eerie backdrop, he looked outlandishly powerful.

As soon as he caught sight of Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Shu shouted cheerfully, “Xiaoyu!”

Lu Xiaoyu immediately pulled a long face. “I thought you agreed to meet me outside the palace?”

Feeling wronged, Lu Shu shot a glimpse at the hovering blood spirit, then mumbled to Lu Xiaoyu, “I was in the palace, but it sank without any prior warning. I’ve done whatever I can to get back to the surface for you! The old man knows it!”

Something must be remedied. Just a while ago, rounds of distress points from Lu Xiaoyu had been registered on Lu Shu’s side! Actually, Lu Xiaoyu had traveled downstream via the soil once she lured the bugs out. Then, she had been searching for him as she carved on the walls to vent her grudges.

Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes were almost beaming with joy after hearing his explanation. “Is that true?”

Li Xianyi replied, “Nope.”

Lu Shu was shocked. “???”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +999!”

The blood spirit’s anger was building up. “Are you guys done?!”

“From blood spirit’s distress, +999!”

In the next instant, Li Xianyi’s white jade sword suddenly whizzed towards the blood spirit, creating a splendid view as transparent waves scattered out due to breaking through the sound barrier!

Beneath the blood spirit, the divine water suddenly emerged from the surface of the blood pool, wrapping the creature up from below. The golden snake was darting around in the water, its tongue shooting in and out!

The divine water was like a giant serpent, its jaws opening wide

to swallow the blood spirit, its delicious prey!

During their short conversation just now, a tacit understanding had been established between Li Xianyi and Lu Shu, despite their lack of any previous cooperation. Perhaps it was due to the long time they had spent with each other, or perhaps it was because they followed the same master.

But both of them had agreed, upon meeting, that this creature needed to die!

In spite of Lu Shu’s relatively weak capabilities, their joint cooperation could increase Li Xianyi’s chances of winning against another Class A expert!

At that moment, gargoyles awakened from their slumber one after another, throwing themselves down from the dome towards Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu in a crazy manner. Some even bit the hook and crashed into the divine water.

Meanwhile, the blood spirit needed to be fully concentrated in guarding off Li Xianyi’s murderous sword!
