Chapter 28 Rank 8 Blood Mountain God, Fishing for a Crouching Heart
The night was deep and dark, as black as ink.
The snowflakes falling from the sky were as heavy and sluggish as goose feathers.
The snow fell to the ground with a dull thud, and every now and then the bent branches creaked under the weight of the snow. Then, the snow, unable to be piled up, fell from the branches in a soft rustling sound, raising snow dust.
A campfire was lit, and crackling sparks danced, illuminating Bu Che's face indistinctly.
Sitting in the snow, Bu Che circulated his minor-level Qi and Blood Technique, instantly expelling all the cold from his body and making him feel incredibly warm. This was the benefit of martial arts practitioners; they could resist the severe cold simply by relying on their Qi and Blood.
Bu Che ran continuously from the opposite direction for a long distance. This area should be far away from the location of Zhang Hengyuan and the others, so they probably won't be able to find him.
Tiger is dead, and Zhao Laizi has also had his head chopped off by Zhang Hengyuan.
Bu Che's mind immediately relaxed slightly, and he was no longer under pressure.
The objectives of this trip have been achieved: avenging Xiao Liu and secretly providing support to Zhang Hengyuan.
Looking at the flickering campfire, Bu Che's complex emotions seemed to slowly melt away as the flames burned, a feeling of unease from killing for the first time.
He tilted his head back, and a snowflake landed on his brow, permeating his mutated spirit. Bu Che closed his eyes slightly.
"If I don't kill, people will kill me..."
"In this world, kindness will only harm yourself."
Bu Che murmured to himself. He didn't want to die; he wanted to live. He had witnessed the profound mystery of martial arts and wanted to continue down this path until he reached the peak and saw the splendor of the summit.
And he has that ability.
Because he wields the Sword of Extinction and possesses the Dao Seed "Duoqin Seed," which is currently just a Dao Seed, it can continue to be cultivated, sprout, grow branches, and bear fruit.
When a seed of the Dao grows, is the fruit that it produces a Dao fruit?
Bu Che's eyes gleamed, and he couldn't help but yearn for it!
After calming himself down, Bu Che took out a wine pouch from his bag, which contained old yellow wine and several small porcelain wine cups.
He placed the porcelain wine cup on the ground and then poured in some aged yellow wine.
Splash splash—
The wine was spilled on the ground by Bu Che.
"Brother Liu, although we haven't known each other for long, your death is ultimately related to me. Now... I've avenged you. May you have a safe journey to the underworld."
Bu Che closed his eyes and whispered.
His obsession crumbled. Although he didn't ask Xiao Liu to help him eavesdrop on Zhao Laizi's information, Xiao Liu still did it, ultimately for his sake.
He felt uneasy if he did nothing.
Now that Xiao Liu has avenged himself, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After drinking, Bu Che plucked a wild ginseng root, put it in his mouth, and waited for the medicinal properties of the wild ginseng to spread throughout his mouth, restoring his energy and blood after the fierce battle.
Then, Bu Che took out Tiger's package.
The package was still stained with Tiger's blood, and a strong smell of blood spread out. Bu Che immediately saw the blood porcelain in the package.
Blood porcelain, with a blood-red hue, is completely blood-like and incredibly alluring.
It was a strange four-armed ghost-god porcelain statue, exuding an eerie aura. Although it was covered with cracks, upon closer inspection, Bu Che felt as if his mutated spirit was about to be devoured.
"Blood Porcelain Cult... Blood Porcelain..."
Bu Che narrowed his eyes and carefully counted the cracks; there were a total of seventy-two.
Clearly, this is a discarded porcelain statue of the Blood Porcelain Cult!
In his mind, the Baque Sword trembled slightly.
"Should we smash it?"
The Blood Porcelain Cult, also known as the Demonic Cult, possesses extremely terrifying power and has wreaked havoc throughout the entire Jiangnan East Region of the Great Hao Dynasty.
Now, even in Tianmu City, a rather remote city in the Jiangnan East Road, the Blood Porcelain Demonic Cult has appeared...
So, if we smash this blood porcelain statue, will we get involved in some trouble related to the demonic sect?
Bu Che couldn't help but feel a bit thoughtful and worried.
"Do I have a choice?"
Bu Che's eyes narrowed.
The Broken Sword is his greatest trump card and the highest reliance he has in this world!
Since the broken sword needs to be pulled...
He can give it to me!
He raised his hand, and a claw hammer slid out from his sleeve, snapping as he gripped it tightly with his five fingers.
The next moment, after spinning the ram's horn hammer in his hand, Bu Che suddenly stood up and took a heavy step down. The stance of the Battle Body Fist Hammer burst forth from his toes, landing heavily, and the accumulated snow splashed out in front of him, like a snow cover!
Xiao Cheng's Qi and blood surged, and his hidden strength was unleashed and attached to the ram's horn hammer!
This made the head of the claw hammer seem to be covered with a layer of white radiance!
It's like a waterfall cascading down three thousand feet!
It slammed hard onto the head of the Ghost God Blood Porcelain!
"roar--!!!"
A piercing roar seemed to explode in Bu Che's ears, followed by an invisible blood-red shockwave that spread and exploded in circles before his eyes.
"hiss--!"
The incredibly violent impact felt like a hammer blow to his brain, just as it had when he smashed the porcelain statue of the ghost god.
But the feeling wasn't strong; Bu Che simply treated it as a method to temper his spirit.
But this time, it was too intense!
Bu Che felt as if his brain was about to be smashed open. Not only that, but an extremely strong evil thought surged out from the ghost porcelain statue.
The roar of that blood-red, four-armed demon seemed to reach right into Bu Che's soul!
Blood flowed from his nose in an instant. Bu Che's teeth were almost ground to powder. Veins on his forehead and neck bulged out like they were standing on end, as if an earth dragon had turned over!
The four arms of the blood-red demon god burst forth from the shattered porcelain statue of the demon god, instantly wrapping around Bu Che's body!
Evil thoughts surge like waves, impacting the spirit!
However, the next moment, the Baque Sword vibrated in Bu Che's mind!
He shook off two or three wisps of sword energy!
With a muffled "plop," the evil thought vanished in a scream!
It exploded into a bloody mist!
Before my eyes, the intertwining lights converged to form a panel prompt.
[Obtained a special (blood sacrifice) soul fragment: Eighth-grade Blood Mountain God]
[A special soul fragment has been collected. It can be used to refine the sword's flawed energy and eliminate the sword master's own defects. Do you wish to refine it?]
……
"Huff... huff..."
Bu Che knelt on the ground, and small, crooked, bloody snakes flowed from his nostrils, dripping onto the ground like blooming bloody plum blossoms.
He was panting heavily, and fine beads of sweat covered his forehead.
If he could introspect, he would definitely see that his spirit at this moment is covered with fine cracks...
On the snow, the blood porcelain had already shattered into countless fragments, and a large pool of blood flowed from it. Within a hundred feet of the shattered area, everything was stained red.
Bu Che threw away the ram's horn hammer, and with trembling hands, took out a packet of "Washing God Porcelain Powder" from his bag. After opening it, he poured the powder into his mouth.
Grab a handful of clean, white snow and swallow it down.
The terrifying force, like wasabi, flooded his mind, but Bu Che felt as if his spirit had been nourished by a long-awaited rain after a drought, and he felt much better and able to rest.
Meanwhile, the mutated spirit in the bulge between the eyebrows was expanding and growing wildly!
It seems that the hammer blow just now has continued to change!
"call--"
"Senior Brother Kong Ci and Senior Sister Long Legs are right... Breaking porcelain is indeed very risky. Even with my mutated spirit, I can't afford to be careless!"
Bu Che let out a breath. This time, the shattered blood porcelain had taught him a lesson.
but……
Bu Che had actually found the reason.
"Damn, this Blood Porcelain statue is actually a special divine soul, using blood as a sacrifice, an eighth-rank Blood Mountain God?!"
"Ninth-rank Earth Deity, Eighth-rank Mountain God..."
Bu Che took a deep breath.
Then, he gritted his teeth and, without any hesitation, seemed to want to vent all the grievances he had just suffered from the attack of the four-armed blood-red demon!
So what if it's a mountain god?
But they are all just food for my sword!
"Refine it! Refine it instantly, you son of a bitch!"
The words were finished.
In his mind, the sword seemed to be drawn from its sheath, with the sound of a sword's cry resounding in his ears, and the sword energy flowing down like a stream of light!
[Special divine soul refinement complete. This special divine soul can be transformed into special sword energy, which can provide the sword master with additional flaws. Flaw removal?]
Before their eyes, a notification appeared, showing sword energy intertwined into a stream of light.
A look of surprise immediately appeared in Bu Che's eyes.
"A special sword aura that can help me eliminate an additional weakness?!"
Eliminating a flaw can give birth to a seed of enlightenment!
That was his extra reliance in this world!
What's there to hesitate about?
cut!
[The Way of Heaven has its flaws, and so do humans. The special flaw-removing sword energy randomly removes flaws for the sword master.]
The sword energy cuts through the flaws, eliminating the sword master's weakness of "impulsiveness." From impulsiveness arises stability, and from flaws arises the Dao, giving rise to the flawless Dao fruit of "fishing for a cowardly heart."
