19: Chapter 19 The First Blood God Child

"Sky Wolf, come out and fight!"

Hun Tiandi's figure flickered as he landed in the courtyard. He took a deep breath, his gaze sharp as lightning, and let out a stern shout.

His gaze was icy as he stared ahead.

"Fine. Who exactly are you? And why did you kill my son, Tiangang?"

Suddenly, a figure in white stood firmly ahead. With a slender physique and eyes filled with bloodshot veins, he looked like a blood wolf as he asked coldly.

"Sky Wolf, you should ask your bastard son. In order to collect herbs for your breakthrough, that animal Tiangang actually killed my father for a stalk of blood lotus essence. He truly deserved to die!"

Hun Tiandi said sternly, venting his emotions. The killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.

"The weak are prey to the strong; who can you blame?" Sky Wolf revealed a cold smile.

His body radiated a baleful aura and majesty accumulated from slaughter, which was terrifying; those with weak wills would flee without a fight.

There was a small scar on Sky Wolf's face; it did not detract from his appearance but rather added a touch of charm.

"Indeed, the weak are prey to the strong, so there is nothing left to say!"

"A one-on-one death duel—no regrets in life, no worries in death!" Hun Tiandi steadied his mind and said coldly.

"Hmph, hand over the blood lotus essence, and I will leave your corpse intact!"

"If you dare to refuse, I will ensure there is nothing left of you!"

Sky Wolf's cold gaze fell upon Hun Tiandi, a trace of confidence appearing between his brows.

His voice carried an unquestionable majesty that shook one's very soul.

"I do not have the blood lotus essence. Tonight, only one of us will leave alive!" Hun Tiandi's pitch-black eyes flashed, and a fierce, desperate aura erupted from his body.

"You brat, Sky Wolf is a Nine-Star Dou Master with profound and powerful strength—how can you compare to him!"

"Run! Don't face him head-on!"

A look of worry appeared on Princess Nian Youyou's charming face. She lightly covered her red lips with her jade hand, her heart feeling as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

Hun Tiandi had used the Blood Scripture to refine his body and build his foundation, drawing in innate energy to nurture the Blood God Body.

Although the Blood God Body was only in its nascent form, the strength of his physical body far exceeded that of other Dou Practitioners.

He might even be able to fight against an expert at the Dou Master level.

"You are courting death!"

Sky Wolf's cold gaze descended, his killing intent surging like a tide. "If you aren't willing to hand it over, I will beat you to death and take it from you!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, Dou Qi swirling around it, and struck a palm through the air towards Hun Tiandi.

Rumble!

The palm print condensed from Dou Qi was extremely domineering, causing the air to ripple. In the blink of an eye, it descended upon Hun Tiandi's head.

As expected of a Dou Master, even a casual palm strike contained such terrifying power.

Kill!

The sharp palm print stirred the air, slicing across his face like a blade and leaving white marks on his skin. Suddenly, wisps of blood-colored light appeared on his body, blocking the force of the palm.

With a loud shout, he stomped his feet and shook his arms, unleashing the Half-Step Crushing Fist.

Containing a double-layered hidden force, the wind of his fist whistled sharply. As fist and palm collided, a metallic clanging sound rang out, like a master blacksmith hammering iron.

He had actually managed to block Sky Wolf's lethal attack.

"Interesting!" Sky Wolf smiled, shaking his numb palm.

A cold light burst from Hun Tiandi's eyes, and his blood began to boil. Sky Wolf's powerful strength excited him.

He intended to use this battle against Sky Wolf to temper himself. The medicinal power of the pill he had consumed earlier was dissolving, sending waves of Dou Qi surging through his body.

He took a step forward, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground. He closed the distance to engage Sky Wolf in close-quarters combat, unleashing his full power.

He opened with a Half-Step Crushing Fist, smashing it fiercely towards Sky Wolf's chest.

With a triple-layered explosive fist force, Hun Tiandi knew that Sky Wolf had failed his breakthrough, his cultivation realm had fallen, and he had suffered heavy injuries. Furthermore, Tiangang's death had caused Sky Wolf's state of mind to become unstable.

The poison from the powder was spreading; his combat prowess would surely not last long.

"Such pure Dou Qi! The Dou Qi cultivation technique you practice must be of a high grade!"

A trace of shock appeared on Sky Wolf's cold face, but he immediately said excitedly, "Good! Once I beat you to death, whatever fortuitous encounters you've had will all belong to me."

Although he spoke those words, he felt a sense of gravity in his heart.

Even after failing his breakthrough and falling to the Seven-Star Dou Master realm, he shouldn't be someone a mere youth could rival, yet this youth was actually able to fight him.

"Sky Wolf Hand!"

Sky Wolf's eyes narrowed as he watched the youth rushing towards him. He suddenly raised his hands, which transformed into sharp claws, and slashed viciously at Hun Tiandi.

His hands had turned into cyan wolf claws, suffused with a baleful aura.

Oh no!

Hun Tiandi's expression shifted in alarm. The sharp wolf claws left two bloody gashes on his chest, sending flesh flying and blood spraying.

His thin body was thrown back like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground as he spat out blood.

Pfft!

Suddenly, the triumphant Sky Wolf's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood. The poison from the powder had erupted.

"You brat! You have no martial honor—using poison?"

Sky Wolf said coldly.

Die!

Sky Wolf unleashed the Sky Wolf Hand once more. Countless cyan wolf claws appeared, densely packed, and descended to engulf Hun Tiandi.

This was a terrifying technique capable of tearing apart all living things and destroying everything.

Rumble!

Hun Tiandi looked up at the countless ferocious wolf claws, a look of madness erupting in his eyes as a desperate aura rose from his body.

He mobilized the soul power in his sea of consciousness, which surged out and transformed into an invisible sword, striking towards Sky Wolf.

Ah…

Suddenly, Sky Wolf, who had approached within ten feet, let out a series of agonizing screams. He clutched his head in unbearable pain, feeling as if his soul were being slashed by thousands of knives.

The cyan wolf claws dissipated, turning into specks of light that vanished into nothingness.

Die!

Hun Tiandi seized the opportunity. His right hand, wielding a green blade, pierced through Sky Wolf's chest, while his left hand, clenched into a fist, unleashed a triple-layered explosive force that shattered Sky Wolf's heart.

With a swift movement, he flipped his hand to grip the sword and decapitated him with a single strike. The leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, who had once terrorized Cangyun Town, died just like that, the victim of careful planning.

The large head rolled to the ground, his eyes wide with unwillingness, confusion, and hatred...

Whew!

Hun Tiandi's body went limp as he collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

"He did it… he actually did it!"

Princess Nian Youyou, hiding on the roof, widened her beautiful eyes, her heart churning with shock.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old youth had forcibly killed a Nine-Star Dou Master like Sky Wolf. While it involved various schemes, it also relied heavily on luck.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Hun Tiandi struggled to his feet. He produced an energy recovery pill and sat cross-legged right there in the pool of blood.

He formed seals with his hands and activated the secret technique of the Blood Scripture, faint blood-colored Dou Qi flowing across his fingertips.

A strange rune condensed, emitting a terrifying suction force. Wisps of blood gathered and flowed into the rune.

As it absorbed more blood, the blood from the more than two hundred mercenaries of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group was extracted and devoured by the rune.

Their once-full bodies immediately shriveled and withered.

The rune transformed into a blood-colored figure, surrounded by wisps of blood-colored threads. Suddenly, a ball of scarlet flames ignited around it, refining away strands of gray impurities.

Until there were no impurities left, the blood-colored figure became more solid.

Suddenly, a handsome, delicate-faced youth appeared before him, his long blood-red hair fluttering without wind.

His appearance was identical to Hun Tiandi's, like a twin brother.

A blood-colored pattern was branded between his brows, adding a touch of evil charm to the youth.

"Blood God Child? It is also known as a Blood God clone. It possesses seventy percent of the main body's strength. Whenever the main body's cultivation breaks through, the Blood God Child's cultivation will immediately break through as well!"

Hahaha!

Hun Tiandi looked at the Blood God Child before him and let out an arrogant laugh. From now on, it was equivalent to having an extra life.

With a thought, the Blood God Child turned into a streak of blood-colored light and drilled into the pores of his right hand.

Hun Tiandi's Blood God Body was capable of harboring the Blood God Child.

After finishing all this, a wave of exhaustion washed over Hun Tiandi. He closed his eyes and his body fell backward.

Whoosh!

A black figure flashed through the air. Just as Hun Tiandi was about to lose consciousness, a fresh fragrance drifted into his nostrils. He felt his back fall into something soft and fragrant before his consciousness completely faded away.

"What exactly was that blood-colored figure from earlier? It exuded such an evil aura!"

Princess Nian Youyou whispered, looking down at Hun Tiandi in her arms with a sigh, before flickering away while carrying him.
