242: Chapter 242 Freaks

Without any nonsense, the two bright streaks of black and white light collided violently with the blood-red light on Luo Xin's spear.

Tang Long was directly blown away by the aftershocks of the power, then buried in the churning soil.

The small hill was gradually leveled, and the original valley became flat ground.

After a thunderous roar and tremor, the intense light faded, and the figures of both sides were revealed once more.

Blood was already overflowing from Luo Xin's nose and mouth, and his chest heaved violently.

"To think the Blasphemers would actually send two Hetero-blood Spirit Maps at once just to kill me. They really spared no expense."

Opposite him, Xue Sha's face grew even paler, yet he showed an excited expression.

"The legendary Torch Spirit Blood Spear is truly a good item. Once you're dead, it'll be mine."

Luo Xin looked disdainful, "Keep dreaming! Sacred Artifacts contain the will of the Saints. Do you think a filthy thing like you can snatch it?"

Evil Eye was even more displeased, "You look down on us too? Dammit!"

The vertical eye on his forehead suddenly snapped open; inside it seemed to be a boundless mist, swirling like a vortex.

"You're Evil Eye!"

In his shock, Luo Xin suddenly reached out and made a grasping motion toward Evil Eye from a distance.

Evil Eye froze slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

But his technique seemed to carry a heavy burden, and for a moment, he was unable to dodge.

At that moment, Xue Sha shot forward like lightning, the white light blades on his hands slashing down at Luo Xin's head.

Luo Xin had no choice but to raise his spear in a desperate block, but with Xue Sha's interference, he could no longer affect Evil Eye's spellcasting.

In truth, even against Xue Sha alone, he was at a clear disadvantage; his body was quickly covered in wounds, yet he still fought desperately to charge toward Evil Eye.

A few seconds later, he finally found an opening and suddenly thrust his spear right in front of Evil Eye.

But just then, Evil Eye's vertical pupil suddenly shrank into a small white dot, and he grabbed the incoming Torch Spirit Blood Spear.

Luo Xin immediately clutched his eyes and let out a miserable scream.

In the next second, Evil Eye extended a withered, large hand, and a bolt of black spiritual light struck Luo Xin's chest.

Luo Xin was sent flying through the air, coughing up a large mouthful of blood. He landed in the dust over a hundred meters away. Although he immediately tried to struggle to his feet to escape, he collapsed again before taking a single step.

Xue Sha chuckled lowly, "Facing two Spirit Maps as a Open Origin and not dying, the Apostle Sequence truly has some skill."

Evil Eye took a deep breath, carefully examining the Torch Spirit Blood Spear in his hand with greed in his eyes.

"A pity you were too arrogant."

"Is it because you're worshipped by those ignorant masses and possess a Sacred Artifact that you truly believe you're strong?"

"If you had stayed obediently in Huai City, you could still play the big shot, but you actually dared to come out alone."

"The second you saw us, you should have run."

"It's too late to think about escaping now!"

Then Xue Sha suddenly said, "Enough. Give me the blood spear, kill him, and let's go."

Evil Eye rolled his eyes, "This is the trophy I personally seized. Why should I give it to you?"

A flash of suspicion crossed Xue Sha's eyes, followed by a look of ferocity.

"Say that again?"

"I said... this thing is mine!"

Xue Sha immediately lunged at Evil Eye. The two Spirit Maps collided with a boom, and the massive shockwave of power kicked up another cloud of dust.

A few seconds later, Evil Eye repelled Xue Sha, his expression momentarily dazed.

When his gaze returned to the Torch Spirit Blood Spear, he was suddenly startled and immediately threw the spear away.

Xue Sha immediately rushed forward, wanting to grab the blood spear.

But Evil Eye shouted, "Xue Sha! Don't touch that thing! Something's wrong with it; it seems to be able to affect our minds!"

Xue Sha had already grabbed the blood spear. Hearing Evil Eye's warning, he was startled and let go, hurriedly retreating.

Meanwhile, Luo Xin, who was lying on the ground, burst into laughter and stood straight up.

His eyes were completely white, yet he laughed very happily.

"To be able to notice the anomaly so quickly, you're indeed impressive."

"However, it's too late."

"You've both touched the sacred weapon and been stained by my blood, so your emotions and senses are now under my control."

"Furthermore..."

Luo Xin reached out again, and countless tiny blood threads immediately appeared in the Void Realm. One end was in his hand, and the other ends were attached to the two of them.

"Even if you two want to run, it's impossible now."

"Your only choice is to kill me, or be killed by me."

Xue Sha's small face stiffened.

Evil Eye roared, "Don't listen to his bluffing! He's already blind! The influence of that thing isn't irresistible! Attack together! Kill him as quickly as possible!"

The two immediately launched another attack, but they both discovered that their bodies had become much heavier, as if they were carrying tens of thousands of catties. Naturally, their speed slowed down significantly.

In contrast, Luo Xin was even faster than before!

Although he was completely blind, his spear strikes were exceptionally precise, as if he weren't affected by his blindness at all. His spear techniques were exquisite.

A blood-red Spirit Map about the size of a step vaguely appeared beneath his feet. In a two-on-one melee, he actually held a slight advantage!

However, his opponents were two Spirit Maps after all; having the upper hand didn't mean he was getting the better of them.

All three were hit from time to time, and before long, they all sustained significant injuries.

The battle lasted for over a minute. Luo Xin's speed gradually slowed down, and the Spirit Map beneath his feet dimmed until it almost vanished. But Xue Sha suddenly exerted force, landing a direct blow on his back and sending him retreating as he spat blood.

The two sides entered a brief standoff, both panting heavily.

Evil Eye sneered, "Even though you're very close to being a Spirit Map, a Open Origin is still a Open Origin. No matter how powerful the Torch Spirit Blood Spear is, it can't bridge this gap. You're done for."

Xue Sha also nodded, "Thanks this time, brother. Once we take this treasure, I'll owe you a big favor."

"No problem!"

But then, Luo Xin suddenly asked, "No problem?"

"You probably don't know why this Sacred Artifact is called the Torch Spirit Blood Spear, do you?"

"'Torch' refers to a burning torch."

"So its greatest power is combustion. Using blood as a catalyst, it ignites spiritual energy and even Souls until everything is burned to ash."

"You two, experience the true power of a Sacred Artifact!"

"Supreme Red God! Blood and Fire Flowing Together!"

Luo Xin hoisted the twelve-foot blood spear high, and the tip of the spear suddenly erupted in blood-red flames.

Immediately after, flames ignited from the blood he had spilled in the dust on the ground, as well as on Xue Sha and Evil Eye.

Xue Sha and Evil Eye let out agonizing screams.

Luo Xin already felt victory was within his grasp.

Although he had paid the heavy price of his eyes, killing two of the Blasphemers' Hetero-blood Spirit Maps by himself today was an achievement that would surely earn the Pope's praise.

His rank within the entire Apostle Sequence would also certainly jump to the top because of this.

However, after just a few seconds, he felt something was wrong.

Because the screams from the opposite side had vaguely turned into eerie laughter.

And... he could sense that the Torch Spirit flames he had ignited with blood were actually being extinguished rapidly.

Opposite him, Xue Sha was opening his mouth, continuously sucking droplets of blood carrying flames into his mouth.

His habitually pale face quickly became flushed. Even from Luo Xin's wounds, drops of blood began to seep out and were continuously sucked toward him.

Even the Spirit Map beneath his feet was turning blood-red bit by bit.

In his shock, Luo Xin immediately jolted the Torch Spirit Blood Spear, which finally stopped the blood loss.

He then cried out in alarm, "This is impossible! Who exactly are you? The power of the Torch Spirit Blood Spear is based on the Law of blood and fire. How could you possibly interfere!"

Xue Sha asked with a giggle, "You only recognized Evil Eye just now, but you never asked for my name."

"Do you think that since the organization is making a move against you, they wouldn't be prepared?"

"I came specifically for you."

At this point, Xue Sha opened his mouth and spat out a ball of flaming blood with a 'ptui'.

"You... a natural blood Sealing power!"

"The legendary Bloodless Body... So the blood you shed earlier wasn't yours at all. You weren't affected by the blood spear at all. Everything... was an act!"

"You are... Xue Sha!"

Luo Xin's voice trembled slightly; he was clearly starting to panic.

The power of the Torch Spirit Blood Spear was already exceptionally overbearing, and he had felt very confident facing two Spirit Maps with it.

But who could have imagined he would encounter the nemesis of blood power here!

Evil Eye plus Xue Sha—he was actually facing these two freaks at the same time!

"That's right. I am Xue Sha."

"We also know you're hard to kill. It's said that as long as there's a single drop of blood in your body, your heart won't stop beating."

"And you can freely pull your own shed blood back into your body."

"But in front of me, those are useless."

"You've already lost more than half your blood. That blood is inside my body now. I can't use it, but I can Seal it away."

"I'll suck your remaining blood dry without wasting a drop, to enjoy slowly later."

"Seriously. I've sucked the blood of so many people, and in terms of flavor, you're number one!"

"Hahahaha~~"

Luo Xin felt a wave of coldness wash over his body.

This battle could not be won.

He racked his brains for a way to escape, but saw no possibility at all.

He had been too careless!

But just then, a head suddenly popped out from the pile of dirt behind him and shouted at him.

"Master Luo! Don't worry about me, run!"

Beside him, Xue Sha's eyes turned cold, and with a flick of his hand, a streak of blood light slashed over.

That head vanished instantly, and the mask on his face was sliced in two, flipping through the air with a golden glint.

But at that exact moment, Xue Sha also let out a grunt of pain and immediately knelt on the ground, clutching his head.
