Chapter 1312: Damn It, It’s That Saintess!
Chapter 1312: Damn It, It’s That Saintess!
Illusion Fairy’s words gave Luo Tian a jolt.
He immediately signaled Liu Zhan to slow down.
Luo Tian asked internally, “Can this spring actually kill people?”
Illusion Fairy replied, “Of course. Do you really think the people in this forest all died simply from getting lost? No, they were all killed after the Blood Spring devoured their essence blood. This Blood Spring has existed since my era. It is extremely powerful, so you must be careful.”
Her era?
Luo Tian didn’t know which era Illusion Fairy came from.
However, one thing was certain: It was a very long time ago, at least tens of thousands of years.
Since it had existed for that long, how many martial artists had died within it over the years?
Luo Tian’s brow furrowed as he asked again, “Then how do we get out of this forest? It seems all this mist is coming from the Blood Spring.”
Illusion Fairy was silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t know. I have no memories regarding this forest, so you’ll have to rely on yourself. However, one thing is certain: it’s best not to touch the Blood Spring if you can avoid it.”Luo Tian nodded, “I know.”
Liu Zhan looked at Luo Tian’s solemn expression and asked, “Boss, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with that blood-colored spring? I’m feeling a bit scared. I keep getting the feeling that countless demons are about to charge out of it. It’s too oppressive.”
In less than half a minute, Liu Zhan was completely drenched in sweat.
He was under a massive mental assault.
Luo Tian, however, was feeling fine.
This was because the Vermilion Bird bloodline within his sea of consciousness was protecting him.
The Vermilion Bird bloodline had the ability to block any evil intent from entering Luo Tian’s body.
Luo Tian looked at Fatty’s expression and whispered, “Let’s retreat first.”
He then quickly led Liu Zhan away.
They stopped only when they reached a distance at which Liu Zhan was no longer affected by the intrusion of evil intent.
“Fuuu, fuuu, fuuu~…”
Liu Zhan was gasping for air as if he had just come off a battlefield. His face was pale, and he was breathing heavily. He then managed to say, “That was too much. Even breathing was incredibly difficult. The more I looked at that Blood Spring, the more the urge to die rose in my heart. I just wanted to dive right in!”
Luo Tian’s heart tightened.
Illusion Fairy immediately said, “The evil power of the Blood Spring can cause one to lose their true self, and can even turn brothers against each other in an instant.”
Luo Tian asked, “Is there really no way?”
Illusion Fairy replied, “There is, but…”
Luo Tian urged her, “Tell me.”
From Illusion Fairy’s tone, Luo Tian could tell it must be extremely dangerous.
Illusion Fairy then said, “You still have a Phoenix Bloodshed Bracelet on you. Sealed within this bracelet is the power of Phoenix Nirvana, which is incredibly potent. This power can incinerate all evil forces. However, having just this bracelet isn’t enough because you also need another type of power.”
The Phoenix Bloodshed Bracelet!
It was the bracelet the Sky Mountain Saintess had lost at Luo Tian’s residence. Since he hadn’t seen her, he had been carrying it with him and hadn’t returned it yet.
Luo Tian was naturally aware of the power sealed within the bracelet.
Last time in the zombie cave, over a hundred zombies had been instantly killed. And that power was only a tiny fraction of the Phoenix Bloodshed Bracelet’s potential, so it hadn’t been fully unleashed yet.
Luo Tian made a thought, sensing the Phoenix Bloodshed Bracelet for a brief moment. The power within it was extremely thick, even more so than the bracelet Bai Lingling had previously. This energy seemed impervious to a hundred evils, capable of suppressing all wickedness in the world.
However, this bracelet did not belong to Luo Tian.
Luo Tian whispered, “What other power is needed?”
Illusion Fairy replied, “The power of the Vermilion Bird bloodline within you. Moreover, you must awaken the Vermilion Bird to release the Vermilion Bird Soaring Power. Only by combining these two forces can the Blood Spring be eradicated.”
“Awakened Vermilion Bird bloodline power?” Luo Tian was stunned.
Illusion Fairy nodded, “Yes, it must be awakened Vermilion Bird power; otherwise, it will be useless.”
Luo Tian smiled bitterly, “But my Vermilion Bird bloodline hasn’t awakened yet. I don’t even know how to awaken it.”
Illusion Fairy then said, “I have a way. But you will have to endure some pain, and it will be very agonizing.”
“Let’s do it!”
Luo Tian did not hesitate. To awaken the Vermilion Bird bloodline was something he had long desired. Who cares that it involves some pain? He had endured the most excruciating suffering before.
Illusion Fairy started tinkering inside Luo Tian’s body for a long while.
Suddenly, she produced a medicinal pill that looked as if it had just been refined before saying, “This is a Bloodline Awakening Pill. Once you swallow this, your Vermilion Bird bloodline will awaken. During the awakening process, you will lose all combat effectiveness and must endure the pain of your physical body being baptized by the Vermilion Bird’s power. Luo Tian, you should think carefully. Awakening the Vermilion Bird bloodline in this Forest of Death is extremely dangerous.”
“You don’t have any powerful experts to protect you, and I cannot come out. If a few demonic beasts show up, I’m afraid Liu Zhan won’t be able to hold them back. If you are attacked and the baptism of the Vermilion Bird’s power is interrupted, your body will be severely damaged, and your life will be in danger.”
Illusion Fairy did not want Luo Tian to awaken the Vermilion Bird bloodline in such a place because it was simply too risky.
Luo Tian glanced at Fatty.
Fatty Liu looked back at Luo Tian and said, “Boss, I really don’t swing that way.”
“If you’re really feeling that uncomfortable, then… then… just this once!”
After saying that, Fatty Liu started to pull down his pants.
Luo Tian kicked him squarely in the butt and shouted, “Are you for real?!”
Fatty Liu landed face-first in the dirt and protested miserably, “I was just trying to crack a joke to lighten the mood. Boss, you’re too ruthless! My ass is practically splitting in two! At least it wasn’t my face, or I’d be disfigured.”
Fatty Liu rubbed his butt before scrambling back to his feet.
Suddenly, the sound of sword qi slicing through space echoed from the direction of the Blood Spring.
As the sword qi rippled out, the mist floating in the surroundings seemed to shudder.
“Ahhh~!”
A sudden scream rang out.
Fatty Liu’s ears twitched, and he immediately said, “It’s a girl!”
He might be useless at other things, but the moment he heard a woman’s voice, he acted as if he’d been injected with chicken blood.
Before Luo Tian could say a word, he dashed off, shouting, “A girl’s in danger! I’m off to play the hero and save the beauty!”
This guy really forgot the pain once the wound had healed.
It had only been a few days, and he had already tossed the agony of his heartbreak to the back of his mind.
Left with no choice, Luo Tian quickly followed. It was the Blood Spring, after all. What if something happened to Fatty?
Moreover, if there was another person to protect him and grant him enough time to awaken the Vermilion Bird bloodline, things would be much more secure.
“Swish, swish…”
“Swish, swish…”
Sword qi rampaged through the area. The towering trees nearby toppled instantly upon the slightest contact with the unleashed sword qi, leaving the surroundings in utter chaos.
The Fatty truly was risking his life.
In fact, he had completely forgotten the danger.
He charged directly to within fifty meters of the Blood Spring, clearly drenched in sweat. Looking at the figure in white floating in mid-air, looking like a celestial fairy who transcended the mortal world, he stared and exclaimed: “Holy crap, it’s the Sky Mountain Saintess!”
