Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 190: Bloodline Aura

Chapter 190: Bloodline Aura

In mid air, the heavily injured Ran Biluo joined hands with Sima Zhanxing as they evacuated all the members of the Rose Party they could.

Yan Su’er was stopping the gap from closing as Yuwen Shengjie was dying beside her. She wasn’t willing to let an ally die right in front of her and she stood tall before him.

Liu Zhiyuan wanted to make a move, but he was stopped by Shang Lubing.

When Liu Zhiyuan was staring at the senior Martial Extermination Realm expert in confusion, the disciples of the Rose Party were evacuating as quickly as they could.

The moment Liu Zhiyuan or Shang Lubing interrupted them and allowed the gap in the Coral Forest to seal up, the juniors of the Rose Party would definitely die. However, that would also mean that Yan Su’er and the rest had nothing to lose. They would go all out and risk their lives to fight Liu Zhiyuan and Shang Lubing.

With Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong fighting Zhu Tong, the two of them wouldn’t be able to stop Yan Su’er themselves regardless of her state of injury!

When that happened, the Tongyou Institution was probably going to be the ones in trouble.

“So… Are we going to watch them leave?!” Liu Zhiyuan wasn’t willing to accept it.

Shang Lubing thought for a second before laughing, “We’re concerned about the Coral Forest. Once they leave, we won’t have to worry anymore.”

Liu Zhiyuan eventually nodded his head. When he turned to stare behind him where Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong were battling the rank five undead corpse, a look of viciousness appeared in his eyes.

…

The instant the Nine Firefly Lance appeared in the air, Shang Xia’s expression changed.

Sun Haiwei could see Shang Xia’s sleeves trembling and she tried to comfort him, “Calm down… Deputy Patriarch Shang is really strong. He has the Coral Command too. Even if it's a rank five undead corpse, it won’t be able to do anything to him. Don’t forget, even Lang Xiaoyun and Dongfang Daying managed to survive for a long time against the undead corpse.”

Shang Xia forced a smile in response.

When their exchange went down, the sky was filled with multicolored lights. A ray of extermination origin formed a giant blade that slashed into the chaotic battle.

“Look! Deputy Patriarch Ji entered the battle too! The two of them are definitely strong enough to deal with the problem!” Sun Haiwei continued.

After she spoke, the two of them turned to look in the direction of the hole that was blown through the Coral Forest. They discovered that the battle had already ended, and they finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Turning back to Shang Xia, Sun Haiwei noticed that was wearing an ugly expression and she couldn’t help but ask, “Junior Brother Shang, what’s wrong?”

“My injuries are acting up again… Senior Sister Sun, I’ll have to enter seclusion again to ensure nothing is wrong.” Shang Xia revealed a bitter smile and said.

“Go quickly!”

Returning to his secret chamber, Shang Xia retrieved an Embroidered Cloud Case carefully.

When Shang Bo tried to stop Zhu Tong earlier, Shang Xia wasn’t too terrified. He was merely shocked. That was because the moment Zhu Tong tore through the spatial barrier to enter the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World, Shang Xia felt the case shaking slightly.

It was something he obtained from Zhu Ying’s body, and it was where he stored the dude's corpse.

It had been some time since he obtained the case, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Shang Xia would rather be beaten to death than believe that Zhu Tong had nothing to do with the case’s reaction.

He felt that it had something to do with Zhu Tong’s appearance in the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World.

Perhaps the resonance had something to do with the bloodline in Zhu Ying’s body. That was the reason Shang Xia kept Zhu Ying’s body in the case in the first place.

However, the Embroidered Cloud Case was a spatial artifact. Shouldn’t it have some kind of isolation properties?!

Curiosity got the better of Shang Xia and he decided to bring out Zhu Ying’s body to take a closer look.

Due to the preservation effects of the spatial artifact, Zhu Ying’s corpse was exactly the way it was when he died. The stench of blood filled the chamber the instant Shang Xia brought the corpse out.

In the same instant he pulled out the body, an enraged cry ripped through the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World.

Even in the secret chamber, Shang Xia could feel his eardrums hurting.

A strange scene soon played out. The blood on Zhu Ying’s body started to bubble, and it turned into a faint mist that rose into the air. It started to drift towards the exit of the chamber.

Jumping in fright, Shang Xia would understand what was going on even if he used his buttocks to think. The blood mist was definitely trying to flow towards Zhu Tong!

If he were to allow the bloodmist to escape from the room, Zhu Tong might just be able to locate him!

No! Zhu Tong might have already locked on to Shang Xia’s location!

However, Shang Xia didn’t know why the rank five undead corpse was so drawn to Zhu Ying’s blood, but he felt that the reason wouldn’t be so simple!

Could the blood possess some sort of special use to Zhu Tong? Was it so important that the rank five undead corpse had to get his hands on it?!

Looking at the mist that was gathering around the exit, a thought flashed through Shang Xia’s mind.?I have to destroy the corpse!

If Zhu Tong needed to absorb the blood mist produced from Zhu Ying’s body, Shang Xia would never let him achieve his goals!

Traces of lightning danced around Shang Xia’s fingertips. The moment he willed it, he would be able to summon a destructive bolt that tore Zhu Ying’s body to shreds!

Even though he could do that, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face. The sword qi that was starting to gather around his body disappeared, but he scattered the bloodmist regardless. When the bloodmist was gone, he stored Zhu Ying’s body into the Embroidered Cloud Case and emerged.

Seeing Sun Haiwei again, Shang Xia discovered that Yang Zigong, Qian Sitong, and Wang Shihai had already returned. They were fathered around each other, discussing something. Liu Zhifei was also with them.

Seeing Shang Xia appear, Sun Haiwei smiled at him, “Junior Brother Shang, are you alright now?”

The rest turned to look at him in unison. Other than Liu Zhifei who had an empty look in his eyes, everyone else smiled at him.

Shang Xia’s expression was a little panicky, and he quickly nodded at the others before saying, “Senior Sister Sun, I have to leave the Coral Forest!”

“Now?” A frown appeared on Sun Haiwei’s face. However, she quickly realized something.

The members of the Rose Party had barely left, and there were several Martial Extermination Realm experts of the Rose Party and Four Spiritual Peak outside…

“If you leave now, wouldn’t you be sending yourself to death?” Sun Haiwei snapped.

Qian Sitong added, “Also, there’s no way for anyone to leave now. The hole is starting to close! You can only leave if the person controlling the Coral Forest opens a passage! Otherwise, you need a Martial Extermination Realm expert to forcefully tear open the barrier to the outside world! None of us have the ability to do so…”

“Are you planning on going out in the underwater route? Didn’t it already crumble?” Sun Haiwei raised an eyebrow and asked.
