247: Blood Cave

The blood droplets filling the sky moved at high speed, more than twenty times faster than the original body, and Tang Ku repeatedly urged the Somersault Cloud, but could only barely keep up with his speed. This couldn't help but make him feel quite a headache, because the chase with Red Corpse just now had already given him a massive headache. If that kind of chase continued, Tang Ku would gradually lose his patience!

Fortunately, this situation did not last too long. The countless blood droplets passed through the Shu Mountain protective formation and then plunged into the vast mountains, disappearing without a trace.

Without a second thought, Tang Ku threw a punch, shattering the Shu Mountain protective formation once again. A light flashed across his Spiritual Awareness Eye, and he saw thick blood Qi currently dispersing in all directions, seemingly trying to confuse Tang Ku's perception.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Tang Ku scanned the area, only to see that among the lush green mountains, there was one speck of blood Qi that was the most inconspicuous. However, although inconspicuous, this drop of blood Qi was much more powerful than all the other scattered blood droplets. Yet, this smallest drop of blood Qi did not move; instead, it hid beneath a certain leaf in the forest, not daring to move in the slightest.

"It seems he has guessed that I have some way to track him, but he isn't certain. That's why he released so much blood Qi in different directions; is this to test me? Heh, that's a good method, but... he doesn't know what I can track about his essence..."

With a slight smile, power condensed on his right fist. With the momentum of a thunderbolt, the Illusory Void Force smashed towards a mass of blood Qi flying northwest.

Boom!

A small mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and a large amount of blood Qi was evaporated; the momentum was incomparably grand. This strike made the Blood Demon's consciousness temporarily relax. But immediately after, an invisible aura instantly enveloped him. When his attention was focused on the evaporated blood droplets, Tang Ku had already arrived at that large tree as if teleporting, and threw a punch down in his direction.

Boom!

The Blood Demon was shocked, but his reaction speed was still there. At the very last moment, he dodged the direct attack, but the edge was still grazed by the fist force. It was still that power mixed with Buddha Power, making him not even dare to turn back to fight, and he continued to flee deeper into the forest while enduring the pain.

"Discovered? How did he do it? No, that's not right, his eyes can see me... Hmm, that's not it either. His eyes... can they see blood Qi and power? Hmm, not that either... It's flaws. His eyes can see any kind of flaw... Yes, that must be it. It seems these little tricks are completely useless against him... Hmm, heh, but that's not needed anymore. Ahead is the Blood Cave. Once I reach there, it will be my world. Hmph, no matter how strong you monk are, you will become part of my Blood Sea..."

The Blood Demon was indeed worthy of the name Blood Demon. In such a short time, he had already guessed the essence of Tang Ku's eyes. Although he hadn't figured it out completely, he was not far from the truth.

His movement speed was still faster than Tang Ku's, and in a flash, he had completely disappeared from Tang Ku's sight.

However, Tang Ku also knew that he no longer needed to monitor the opponent's actions in real-time, because on the mountain not far away, a wide crack, as if the mountain itself had been wounded, was constantly opening and closing. Since his Reincarnation, Tang Ku had never seen such powerful blood Qi and vitality. Of course, there was also that violent evil Qi, which was also constantly exhaling, as if choosing someone to devour!

"Heh, the Blood Cave? Finally, I've found this place!"

Suddenly accelerating, Tang Ku brought a gust of wind and swept directly into the Blood Cave. As soon as he entered, he was dizzied by a terrifying sound wave.

"Oof, this is not sound, it is the momentum manifested by the churning blood Qi, a momentum unique to evil Qi..."

Frowning slightly, Tang Ku suddenly chanted the first sentence of the Many Hearts Sutra, and using the Buddhist Lion's Roar technique, spread this sound in all directions!

Om!

Like a morning bell or an evening drum, it directly dispersed this evil Qi.

"Hmph, I want to see just how arrogant this blood Qi of yours really is..."

Tang Ku looked down and saw only a point of red constantly churning; the smell of blood rushed towards him. Tang Ku knew that the Blood Sea was below, but he hadn't expected it to be so deep, almost reaching the position beneath the Earth's crust.

"Such a cavity, and it doesn't cause a large-scale earthquake?"

Tang Ku was slightly stunned, then immediately flew downwards.

The further down he went, the more Tang Ku could feel the terror of this blood Qi. In fact, this blood Qi should have originally been a positive, upward-striving life aura, but it had been forcibly transformed into its current state by some power. He didn't know how the Blood Demon had done it. If this power of blood Qi were thrown into the human world, it would be enough for over ninety percent of the life in this Shu Mountain to gain a lifespan of over a hundred years.

After traveling several thousand meters down, Tang Ku finally saw the true appearance of the Blood Sea.

Looking up, it was boundless, and looking down, even Tang Ku's Spiritual Awareness Eye could not see how deep the deepest part of this Blood Sea could be.

"Come out. Didn't you want to lure me here to fight you to the death? Why are you still hiding?"

Tang Ku laughed.

"I am not hiding; I just needed to borrow the Blood Sea to re-condense my form... Hmm, in the end, you actually wanted to find where my Blood Sea was, didn't you?"

Already dressed in white as snow, Blood Demon Ding Yin appeared before Tang Ku, hovering above the Blood Sea.

"Oh, so this is what you look like? I thought what I saw before was your original body."

Tang Ku smiled.

"That was just to better exert my power while fighting in the outside world... Power, speed, and powerful recovery abilities all have different forms..."

Tang Ku suddenly recalled the huge monster he had encountered outside, as well as the blood droplets flying everywhere, and frowned slightly: "The blood droplets are for recovery ability, and that huge form was to increase speed?"

"Heh, it's just a different focus. However, here in the Blood Cave, with the support of the Blood Sea's power, I don't need to use those methods to exert my strength at all, because my speed, power, and all my abilities will be raised to the extreme!"

Ding Yin beckoned, and the Blood Sea churned for a moment. A blood-red longsword suddenly appeared and flew into his hand. He smiled and said, "Monk, do you not use weapons?"

"Heh, this pair of fists of mine is my weapon!"

Tang Ku showed off his fists and sneered slightly.

"Arrogant and conceited fellow... Since that is the case, then... let's fight!"

Boom!

The Blood Sea churned, and Ding Yin swung his sword upwards. A wave of blood instantly slapped out from the Blood Sea, turning into countless blood-colored sharp swords, stabbing towards Tang Ku.

"Hmm, you only have these little tricks. To be honest, I don't even want to bully you..."

The War God Gauntlets suddenly appeared, and the Heaven-Shaking Style erupted, shattering all the sharp swords. At this instant, Ding Yin had already arrived in front of him, raised his sword, and swung it down towards his head.
