215: Chapter 216 Tug-of-War at the Blood Sacrifice Platform: The Night God's Dagger's Ultimate Killing Tactic!

He pressed both hands firmly against the cold stone surface, and ancient patterns immediately lit up.

A faint, dark golden halo spread rapidly along the texture of the black rock, and the viscous liquid in the grooves seemed to be provoked, boiling and churning instantly.

The extreme temperature turned the liquid into golden mist, and these high-dimensional energies forcibly drilled into his flesh through every one of his 108,000 pores.

"What an overbearing medicinal power, it's much more potent than that broken peripheral device from before!"

Lin Qi tilted his head back, his series of loud laughs echoing through the underground space, but before the laughter could fade, a sudden change occurred.

A savage pulling force expanded outward from inside the Blood Sacrifice Altar; the stone platform was not only infusing energy but also forcibly extracting the outsider's Origin Qi and blood, intending to use the person on the platform as a new sacrificial consumable.

"Want to use me as a sacrifice? Your appetite is too big for a broken rock like you!"

Lin Qi gritted his teeth, his angry roar making the surrounding air hum.

"Is my blood something a dead object like you can suck?"

Lin Qi's torso had completely turned into a perilous tug-of-war battlefield.

The Meridians on his left were forcibly stretched to extreme thickness by the true dragon relic blood, while the Qi and blood in the blood vessels on his right were being frantically drained by the ancient Formation, with two completely opposite massive forces crashing back and forth between his internal organs.

To maintain his lifeline, his Martial Saint-level mental will erupted completely.

"Lock it down in the Meridians for me!"

Lin Qi's explosive shout was mixed with an unyielding will, forcibly resisting the pull; golden light flared brightly around his body, and his skin surface took on a dazzling metallic luster.

Veins and blood vessels bulged and throbbed violently under his skin like living creatures; every muscle was bearing an unreasonable load, and sweat beads evaporated into white mist from the high temperature on his body surface as soon as they seeped from his forehead.

Affected by this internal and external assault, his perception and defense against the outside world plummeted to rock bottom.

In the shadow of an inverted stone cone three hundred meters away from the Blood Sacrifice Altar, a mass of black mist was slowly squirming.

"Family Head, the target has taken the bait and is currently undergoing high-risk energy absorption."

The hushed report rang clearly through the communication channel; the true gold-medal assassin of the Shadow Guild gripped the microphone tightly. The one who had died outside before was merely a Void Realm Clone sharing the same codename; this was the real person, carrying the genuine legendary weapon, stepping onto the scene.

"Are you sure he is completely defenseless now? That Clone from just a moment ago didn't even manage to scream!"

In the underground base in Kyoto, Li Qingcang clutched the communication device and asked urgently.

The Family Head's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the red dot on the big screen.

"The Clone was destroyed because of underestimating the enemy, but the situation is completely different now."

The assassin stared intently at the trembling figure wrapped in golden light on the Blood Sacrifice Altar.

"His aura is very chaotic; he is currently experiencing the backlash of high-dimensional energy."

Utilizing his profession's unique insight talent, the assassin could see Lin Qi's weakened state clearly.

"This is definitely not a disguise; the energy conflict belonging to ancient creatures cannot be faked."

"Good, very good, Heaven has eyes!"

Heavy and ecstatic panting came from the other end of the communicator from Li Qingcang.

"I don't care what means you use, you must twist this brat's head off for me today!"

Several Elders nearby joined in, shouting along.

"The Shadow Guild has taken so much of our money; if you fail again, you'll be smashing your own reputation!"

"Don't worry, bosses, what I have in my hand is the fang of the night god."

The assassin gently stroked the short dagger in his hand.

"The blade is coated with Gene Collapse toxin; it kills instantly upon contact with blood."

His tone was full of arrogance and confidence.

"As long as it scratches his skin, no matter how hard he has trained this Physical Body, his gene chain will vanish on the spot."

"Don't give me any of that useless talk; that Blank Slate is incredibly weird!"

Li Qingcang slammed his fist heavily onto the console and roared into the microphone.

"Stab his vital point directly; I want him dead through and through!"

"The outside world is watching our Li family's joke; this blood debt must be paid with his life!"

"Understood, I will shred his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys."

"However, Family Head, the risk of this mission exceeds the standard; the final payment must be doubled."

Before making his move, the assassin unceremoniously put forward his conditions.

"As long as you kill him, I'll give you triple; no, I'll give you the key to the Li family's treasure vault!"

In order to save face, Li Qingcang had become desperate.

"Not just money, thirty percent of the assets under the Li family's name will also be yours, as long as you bring his head back!"

"Deal."

After cutting off the communication, the assassin focused all his attention on the prey.

Lin Qi, at the center of the vortex, was indeed in a dire situation.

"Why is the suction of this broken platform endless!"

Lin Qi bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood foam directly onto the black stone surface.

"Do you really think this piece of junk made by those useless System idiots can suppress me?"

"True Qi protection, Blood Moving Technique, get moving for me!"

His Internal Energy was traveling with extreme difficulty through his damaged Meridians, and the dark golden protective halo on his body surface began to flicker uncertainly.

Lin Qi was like a candle in the wind, trembling uncontrollably; his defense mechanism had been completely stripped away.

"A mere dead object Formation, and you want to swallow my Martial Saint foundation?"

Resisting the pressure of twenty times gravity, Lin Qi kept his back straight.

"Break for me!"

His formidable Martial Dao will, like a hammer, smashed fiercely into the torrent of energy rampaging inside his body.

In the monitoring room of Longya Academy.

"Old Mo, why are his vital signs dropping so fast?"

Instructor Su Qing clenched her fists, worry flashing across her face.

"Don't panic, girl, this kid is risking his life."

Old Mo pushed up his reading glasses and stared at the data jumping all over the screen.

"He is fighting for control with that ancient Blood Sacrifice Altar; once he wins, his Physical Body strength will reach an unprecedented Realm."

"But what if he loses?"

Instructor Su Qing bit her lip and asked, as she was counting on this kid to lift the Law curse on her.

"Lose? If he loses, he'll just turn into a pile of bone slag."

Old Mo chuckled, but his tone was full of trust.

"However, this old man is very accurate at judging people; this kid is a Martial Dao Devil King, even King Yama wouldn't dare to take him easily."

Huichun Hall in Tianhai City.

"Achoo!"

Zhang Wei rubbed his nose and let out a loud sneeze while holding a box full of gold bars.

"Brother Qi must be missing me; when he returns triumphantly, I must throw him the biggest celebration banquet in the whole city!"

The fat man chuckled silly and continued to count this massive fortune, enough to buy half the city.

On the Blood Sacrifice Altar.

"Swallow it for me!"

Lin Qi let out a roar like a trapped beast.

He forcibly swallowed a large mouthful of true dragon relic blood directly into his abdomen; the pain coming from deep within his bones increased exponentially. The reshaping of his Prototype Golden Body had reached the most critical moment of breaking the cocoon, which was also the fatal node where his defenses were most empty.

In front of the big screen, Li Qingcang gripped the leather chair back tightly with both hands.

"He moved! The signal source representing the assassin has started to move!"

The technical director pointed at the radar and shouted loudly.

"Good! Zoom in the screen for me! I want to watch him die with my own eyes!"

The Family Head's face revealed an extremely expectant, sinister smile.

"Lin Qi, oh Lin Qi, you unbacked bumpkin, you will eventually fall into my hands!"

The Elders in the hall also let out a long sigh of relief.

"With the fang of the night god combined with Void Realm assassination, even a great deity couldn't save him."

"That's right, this kind of weapon with System-enforced Karma determination is specifically designed to counter Martial Dao Physical Bodies."

"After he dies, immediately send people to arrest that Zhang Wei in Tianhai City!"

"Six hundred and eighty billion in gambling money, spit it all out, not a single cent less!"

This group of superiors had already begun calculating how to recover their losses.

"Not only must we get the money back, but we must also eliminate that Instructor Su Qing to permanently remove future trouble!"

The basement echoed with the unscrupulous clamoring of this group.

"That waste Li Shaobai also needs to be taught a lesson; he actually acts as a lackey for a bumpkin, losing all the face of a wealthy family!"

Li Qingcang became more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen the scene of Lin Qi's head falling to the ground.

"If you want my life, it depends on whether your broken System has strong enough teeth!"

Veins bulged on Lin Qi's forehead, and his fists smashed several cracks into the black rock.

"If that fat guy Zhang Wei saw these treasures all over the floor, he would probably drool a river!"

"When I suck this pool of blood dry, I must move this altar back and sell it as scrap!"

"That old dog Li Qingcang must still be staring eagerly behind the screen, right?"

"Come on! If you have the guts, send a few more flies over to die!"

Lin Qi wantonly unleashed his wild Martial Dao will into the empty darkness.

"Do you really think I don't know there's a rat hiding in the dark?"

This sudden, explosive shout made the assassin in the distance pause.

"Is he bluffing me?"

The assassin quickly made a judgment in his heart.

"A Blank Slate cannot possibly see through my Void Realm Stealth; he must be bluffing."

This was a once-in-a-thousand-years, or perhaps even the only, perfect opportunity for a kill; the assassin was in the darkness, his breathing frequency deliberately drawn out.

His heartbeat gradually slowed until it completely merged with the twenty-times gravity environment around him.

The Void Realm Origin power throughout his entire body was mobilized without reservation; he continued to grip the short dagger tightly, his footsteps making no sound.

"No matter how loudly you shout, today is destined to be your death day."

Five meters away from Lin Qi's back, the Void Realm produced a ripple like water waves.

"In the name of the Night God, I end your myth."
