193: Plunder qualifications and talents!

The moment Xiao Shi charged out, a talisman immediately appeared in his hand.

It was precisely the [Mind-Reading Talisman] that had dropped earlier after he killed Ke Zhuowen and other Blood Martial Realm cultivators.

Now, having taken it out, he immediately used this talisman.

In an instant, a scene appeared in Xiao Shi's mind.

In the scene, Ke Zhuozheng, transformed into a black savage bear, reached him at an even faster speed, her massive bear paw tearing through the air, carrying a black cold current, and striking towards him.

Just as the bear paw was about to strike him, Xiao Shi immediately retreated with a flash.

Puff!

However, the entire bear paw eerily emerged from the void behind him.

One claw pierced through his body.

The entire scene flashed by in an instant.

A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Shi's forehead.

He instantly realized that he would most likely not be able to dodge this attack from his opponent.

After all, Ke Zhuozheng, who had transformed into a black savage bear, had an absolute advantage in speed at this moment.

He couldn't possibly be faster than her.

And her attack contained some profound mystery; it was not as simple as it appeared to the naked eye.

Even if he dodged in a different direction, the result would be the same.

"The situation is not looking good..."

Xiao Shi's brain was working at high speed.

Although he had now seen the flaw in the opponent's array through the [Nether Dust Eye], firstly, his speed was not as fast as hers, and secondly, he couldn't get close to her.

Once hit by the opponent's attack, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be severely wounded.

At that point, it would be even more impossible to break the array and reverse the situation.

Under the rapid operation of his brain, gradually, Xiao Shi thought of a combat strategy.

"At this point, I can only go all out!"

He steeled his heart.

A black bone immediately appeared in his hand—it was precisely the [Black Ting Fish Bone] that could erase memories.

Before this, Xiao Shi had not refined the [Black Ting Fish Bone] into an exotic blood.

He had originally intended to find an opportunity to imbue it into a weapon, thereby gaining multiple uses.

But now... he had no choice but to use it!

Whoosh!

The entire [Black Ting Fish Bone] instantly melted in his hand.

He refined it into a drop of exotic blood.

With a flick of his finger, it shot directly towards Ke Zhuozheng.

Although Ke Zhuozheng's abilities in all aspects were very strong now, she lacked long-range attack methods.

She could only kill Xiao Shi after getting close.

Facing the incoming exotic blood, Ke Zhuozheng did not dodge.

Currently, there was an array beneath her that could suppress the effects of exotic blood, so she was not worried about this exotic blood causing any harm to her.

She allowed the exotic blood to impact her body.

The moment the exotic blood merged into her body, even though there was an array beneath Ke Zhuozheng that suppressed exotic blood, her entire forward-charging figure suddenly paused.

Her entire shattered golden beast pupils were filled with confusion.

A part of the memories in her brain was instantly erased.

This sudden memory loss directly caused her brain to enter a crashed state; she even forgot what she was supposed to do next.

Although the array beneath her had the effect of suppressing exotic blood, it was completely ineffective against this type of exotic blood that could make her memories disappear.

Ke Zhuozheng stood there blankly in front of Xiao Shi.

"It worked!"

Xiao Shi's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Even though he felt the mysterious power buff on his body gradually dissipating, the memory-erasing effect of the [Black Ting Fish Bone] was far more powerful than he had imagined!

In Ke Zhuozheng's current state, it was enough for him to complete his next actions!

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi, following the combat strategy he had previously formulated, swiftly moved his entire right hand, like a flash of lightning, directly towards Ke Zhuozheng's glabella.

This was the flaw in the array that he had seen through the [Nether Dust Eye]!

Not only that, but a pill also appeared in Xiao Shi's palm at the same time.

It was... the [Blood Eye Foundation Plundering Pill]!

In fact, at the beginning of the battle between Xiao Shi and Ke Zhuozheng, he had been thinking about whether he could use the [Blood Eye Foundation Plundering Pill] to plunder the opponent's foundation, aptitude, and comprehension!

As the Guizhen Clan's once-in-a-century peerless genius, Ke Zhuozheng's foundation, aptitude, and comprehension were undoubtedly beyond compare to ordinary people!

Most importantly... she also possessed terrifying talent in array formations.

If he could plunder it, this would undoubtedly be an immense improvement for Xiao Shi!

However, Ke Zhuozheng's strength was formidable, and achieving this was not easy.

Therefore, before this, Xiao Shi had not revealed his intentions at all.

It was only at this moment... that he showed his true colors!

He knew very well that if he exposed his intentions too early and aroused the opponent's vigilance, it would only unnecessarily increase the difficulty.

Only by making a move at the most opportune moment could he succeed!

And now, without a doubt, was the best time.

"If I can successfully complete the plunder... from now on, I will possess superhuman talent in array formations!"

Xiao Shi's heart burned with fervor.

At the same time, the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan, who had calmly observed this scene from beginning to end, instantly frowned involuntarily when he saw Ke Zhuozheng's bewildered expression.

Then, when he saw Xiao Shi charging towards Ke Zhuozheng's glabella, he could no longer remain calm; his entire face instantly darkened, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

As the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan, he naturally knew the flaw in the Forbidden Array that Ke Zhuozheng had cast!

He also saw that Ke Zhuozheng's current state was very abnormal.

Although he didn't know what method this was, nor did he know Xiao Shi's true intention at this moment, he understood that once Xiao Shi broke Ke Zhuozheng's Forbidden Array... Ke Zhuozheng would definitely be in danger, and might even die!

As the Guizhen Clan's once-in-a-century peerless prodigy, and their next clan leader candidate, there was no way he could stand by and watch Ke Zhuozheng be in danger.

Immediately, an array appeared from beneath the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan, causing his figure to disappear from within the array.

At the same time, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from Ke Zhuozheng's body.

This was a hidden array on her body.

As a peerless prodigy of the Guizhen Clan, Ke Zhuozheng had long had a secret array left on her by the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan, which allowed the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan to directly transmit to her front through this array when she faced danger, helping her resolve the crisis!

Swish!

In an instant, the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan appeared out of thin air in front of Ke Zhuozheng.

His eyes, filled with cold light and murderous intent, stared at Xiao Shi's descending blow.

With him here, he would not allow Xiao Shi to succeed.

In fact... he planned to directly make a move and kill this fellow!

Although this person was a Flame Bearer, killing him might cause some trouble, but as long as he was willing to pay some price, it wasn't impossible to resolve.

However, the moment the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan appeared in front of Ke Zhuozheng via array transmission, an extremely powerful repulsive force swept in from all directions.

This repulsive force was extremely overbearing.

Even with the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan's cultivation, he couldn't resist it and was pushed far away.

"This is..."

The Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan looked intently.

He found that the location of Xiao Shi and Ke Zhuozheng was already enveloped by a spherical blood-colored orb.

The entire blood-colored orb had a diameter of about ten meters, as if forming a special area, making it so that only Xiao Shi and Ke Zhuozheng were in this area.

He had just been pushed out of this area.

It seemed he couldn't exist within this area.

"Domain!!!"

The Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan's pupils constricted, and his face completely changed drastically!

Even when he had sensed Ke Zhuozheng would be in danger earlier, he hadn't panicked, feeling that everything was under his control.

Even if Ke Zhuozheng encountered a crisis, he could rescue her at the first opportunity.

But the moment he saw the domain, he completely panicked.

Especially after his obstruction was removed, Xiao Shi's descending blow was already incredibly close to Ke Zhuozheng's glabella!

The anxiety and anger in his heart caused the usually composed Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan's entire face to twist.

His speed, at this moment, erupted to its extreme, rushing towards the domain ahead.

A furious roar, echoing throughout Lieyin City, came from his mouth.

"You brat, how dare you!!!"

Xiao Shi directly ignored the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan's impotent rage.

Before making his move, he had already anticipated that the Guizhen Clan would not stand by and watch their super genius be in danger.

He had expected that a powerful expert from the Guizhen Clan would make a move at this time.

So he decisively used the [Small Blood Martial Domain], making it so that this domain could only accommodate Blood Martial Realm cultivators!

This caused the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan to be repelled by the domain as soon as he appeared.

Without the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan's obstruction, puff!

Xiao Shi's descending palm directly struck Ke Zhuozheng's glabella.

Instantly, shocking cracks spread across Ke Zhuozheng's glabella.

Her body immediately transformed from the savage bear form back to her original appearance.

At the same time, the [Blood Eye Foundation Plundering Pill] in Xiao Shi's hand also, at this moment, merged into Ke Zhuozheng's body through her glabella.

This caused Ke Zhuozheng's foundation, aptitude, comprehension, and so on, to be continuously absorbed by Xiao Shi through his right hand pressed on her glabella.

Ke Zhuozheng's body twitched uncontrollably as if electrocuted.

Others might not be able to tell that Ke Zhuozheng was being plundered, but the Ancestor of the Guizhen Clan clearly perceived that the Natal Martial Blood Array within Ke Zhuozheng's body was continuously collapsing.

This Natal Martial Blood Array within Ke Zhuozheng's body was inherently extraordinary, requiring extremely strong talent, comprehension, and so on, to construct and sustain.

Within the entire Guizhen Clan, only Ke Zhuozheng had constructed this Natal Martial Blood Array.

But now, as Ke Zhuozheng's foundation, aptitude, comprehension, and so on, all flowed away to Xiao Shi, this array could no longer continue to exist and rapidly collapsed.

"You're courting death!!!"

Old Ancestor Guizhen's eyes were bloodshot.

This method of plundering a person's foundation, aptitude, and comprehension, even he had never heard of.

He naturally couldn't make that connection.

However, even if he couldn't tell that Xiao Shi was plundering, with the continuous collapse of the Natal Martial Blood Array within Ke Zhuozheng's body, he also understood the gravity of the situation.

"This beast wants to cripple Zhuozheng!!!"

This made him furious beyond measure.

At this moment, he had already rushed to the front of the domain.

He slammed a palm onto the domain barrier in front of him, causing the entire domain to shake uncontrollably.

Large, dense cracks even spread across the barrier.

However, it did not shatter!

Xiao Shi glanced at Old Ancestor Guizhen.

Although he knew that with the opponent's strength and cultivation, destroying this domain was not difficult, he should have enough time to complete the plunder before Old Ancestor Guizhen destroyed the domain.

What he needed to consider now was how to deal with the powerful Old Ancestor Guizhen afterward.

Boom!

Boom!

Under Old Ancestor Guizhen's frenzied assault, in less than five breaths, the entire domain was completely shattered by him.

"Here!"

Xiao Shi threw Ke Zhuozheng out at the first opportunity.

At this point, he had already plundered all of Ke Zhuozheng's foundation, aptitude, comprehension, and so on.

And while throwing out Ke Zhuozheng, he unhesitatingly used the bead in his hand.

During the previous plunder, Xiao Shi had already quietly taken out this bead and continuously injected Natal Martial Blood into it.

This caused the [Blood Escape Pearl] to be permeated with a rich blood-red glow at this moment.

Xiao Shi gripped it tightly.

Swish!

His body instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red light, like light itself, and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

[Name: Blood Escape Pearl]

[Type: Bead]

[Description: A peculiar bead that allows one to escape using Blood Power after use.]

[Remark 1: When used, Blood Power must be injected into the bead. The more Blood Power injected, the faster the escape speed and the farther the escape distance.]

[Remark 2: The bead can only be used once.]

...Old Ancestor Guizhen quickly caught Ke Zhuozheng, whom Xiao Shi had thrown over.

At this moment, Ke Zhuozheng's face was pale and she was on her last breath.

Although she had not suffered physical injuries, the loss of her foundation, aptitude, comprehension, and so on, had pushed her to the brink of death.

After checking Ke Zhuozheng's condition, Old Ancestor Guizhen was instantly filled with surging rage and towering murderous intent!

His entire eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and his neck was covered in bulging veins.

Ke Zhuozheng was crippled!

This super genius, once in a century for their Guizhen Clan!

She was actually crippled right under his nose!

Old Ancestor Guizhen felt the murderous intent boiling in his chest, like a volcano about to erupt.

He directly threw Ke Zhuozheng to a Guizhen Clan member who appeared beside him, let out a furious roar like thunder, and, with monstrous rage, chased after Xiao Shi.

Although Xiao Shi's speed at this moment was astonishing, Old Ancestor Guizhen was, after all, a Martial Soul Realm expert.

No matter how Xiao Shi escaped, he would be able to catch him.

At this moment, Hong Six and the others, who witnessed this scene, all widened their eyes, their breathing rapid.

They had never expected... that even a Three Blood expert like Ke Zhuozheng would be defeated by Xiao Shi!

"Too bad, Pang Qi didn't kill her..."

Hong Six's heart pounded.

As long as Ke Zhuozheng died, their plan would be achieved!

They almost succeeded!

"However, judging by Ke Zhuozheng's current state, even if she didn't die, Yu Shuang will likely have more opportunities to become the clan leader. It's not a complete loss."

Hong Six thought to himself.

As long as Yu Shuang could become the clan leader of the Guizhen Clan later, then their plan this time would also be a success.

But just as Hong Six and the others were planning how to help Yu Shuang contend for the clan leader position, a streak of blood-red light appeared on the pavilion of the Guizhen Clan's mansion at an incredibly astonishing speed.

At this time, there were many Guizhen Clan members in this pavilion, and they were all watching the battle between Xiao Shi and Ke Zhuozheng.

Among them was Yu Shuang, who was secretly delighted!

Ke Zhuozheng was his biggest competitor.

As long as Ke Zhuozheng was gone, he would naturally be the next candidate for the Guizhen Clan leader.

However, none of them had expected... that after dealing with Ke Zhuozheng, Xiao Shi would actually come to their Guizhen Clan's mansion to kill someone.

And after arriving, Xiao Shi's gaze directly locked onto Yu Shuang in the crowd.

Puff!

When the blood-red light that Xiao Shi had transformed into flashed through the crowd, Yu Shuang's head and the items that dropped after his death had all fallen into Xiao Shi's hands.

Xiao Shi did not pause for a moment.

He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and quickly fled into the distance.

Almost less than two seconds after he escaped, Old Ancestor Guizhen's figure appeared at the location where he had previously fled.

When Old Ancestor Guizhen saw the headless corpse lying on the ground, his entire body trembled even more violently.

Even he... had not expected that the opponent, while being chased by him, would still dare to come to their Guizhen Clan's mansion to kill someone!

"Today... I will definitely grind you to dust! Even if the King of Heaven himself comes, you will die!!!"

Under this thunderous roar, Old Ancestor Guizhen's figure flashed, and he pursued at an even faster speed.

Xiao Shi could feel Old Ancestor Guizhen chasing very closely behind him.

He also knew that with his current strength and cultivation, he was not enough to contend with a Martial Soul Realm expert.

Even though his speed was astonishing now under the effect of the [Blood Escape Pearl], if this continued, he would definitely be caught by Old Ancestor Guizhen.

In response, Xiao Shi did not flee in a panic.

Instead, he calmly escaped towards the Zhiyan Division!
