46: There is no such person, this must be someone extraordinary!

Fang Zhiqiang didn't think too much, but a strange sense of excitement surged in his heart.

You see, he used to be a typical otaku, with a touch of chuunibyou.

It was just that because of his somewhat introverted personality, these traits weren't usually obvious.

But that didn't mean he didn't have problems—it was just that these problems had always been put on hold.

Before, he was either busy escaping or recovering from injuries, so he had no time to ask.

Now that he finally got a clear answer, Fang Zhiqiang couldn't help but ask again:

"Are there any limitations to this ability?"

After hearing this question, Blood Skyhawk looked at Fang Zhiqiang a few more times, seemingly thinking about something, and then slowly explained:

"There are indeed limitations. If I absorb the blood of someone weaker than myself, there will basically be no improvement; at most, it will satisfy hunger or slightly enhance recovery ability."

"Only those whose strength is comparable to mine can give me some increase in power, but it won't be much."

Blood Skyhawk paused, then continued, "If I want a significant improvement, unless it's a strong person like the Sword Saint, whose strength far surpasses mine, only then can it truly bring noticeable effects."

Speaking of this, Blood Skyhawk frowned, a hint of doubt in his tone: "

Theoretically, with the Sword Saint's strength, after I absorbed his heart blood, it should have been enough to break through to the Dawn level."

"But the result only reached the Hao Yue Upper-rank."

Blood Skyhawk paused, then muttered to himself, supplementing:

"Even if I didn't completely plunder all his heart blood, it shouldn't have only increased this much."

"It seems that Japan has exaggerated the propaganda about their Sword Saint; his actual combat power is probably far lower than rumored."

After saying this, Blood Skyhawk shook his head, but deep down, he secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, the opponent's true strength was not as terrifying as rumored, otherwise he might have lost his life this time.

Just then, Su Yun's curious voice suddenly rang out:

"Hey, have you ever thought of another possibility?"

"Maybe that so-called Sword Saint is fake, or some kind of clone?"

Hearing this familiar voice and the content of the words, Blood Skyhawk immediately felt a jolt throughout his body, blood rushing to his head, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

Before he could recover, Su Yun continued:

"If it's a clone, then..."

"Mmm mmm mmm!"

Before Su Yun could finish speaking, Blood Skyhawk, already breaking out in a cold sweat, instantly turned into a flash of lightning, quickly pouncing on Su Yun, covering his mouth to prevent him from saying more dangerous things.

"Whew..."

Only after successfully muffling Su Yun's mouth did Blood Skyhawk slightly relax.

Blood Skyhawk vigilantly scanned his surroundings, fearing that the Sword Saint would suddenly appear.

After confirming temporary safety, he knew in his heart: he could no longer stay in Japan.

Being hunted by a Sword Saint was no laughing matter.

Although he had three layers of insurance, Blood Skyhawk didn't think he could escape by sheer luck.

After all, that Sword Saint was the strongest existence in the entire country!

Although the Scarlet Lord was indeed strong, he was not the strongest in the organization.

What's more, this strong person from a thousand years ago had only recently awakened, and his strength had not yet fully recovered to its peak state.

Even though he had seen a glimpse of the Scarlet Lord before.

But even so, Blood Skyhawk dared not gamble with his life.

"Speed up!"

Blood Skyhawk whispered to the two behind him, "We must reach the Bay as quickly as possible, open the Critical Point, and leave here immediately!"

At this moment, Blood Skyhawk had completely given up on the so-called "blessing" mentioned by the Scarlet Lord.

He just wanted to save his life and get the most basic sublimation; that was enough.

An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang heard this and nodded without hesitation, beginning to advance at full speed towards the Bay.

Su Yun, meanwhile, was carried directly on Blood Skyhawk's shoulder, who also kept one hand firmly over his mouth, just in case.

...

On the other side, inside the military base near the Bay, the Commander was staring at the screen.

Four beams of light suddenly appeared on the screen—one dazzling red light, two slightly weaker red lights, and a blurry white light next to them.

"It seems we have four guests."

The Commander narrowed his eyes and analyzed, "One is an Hao Yue Upper-rank, two are Candlelight level, and one... should be a rookie who just stepped into the extraordinary realm."

He stroked his chin, appearing not to care much.

After all, a mere Hao Yue Upper-rank, and not an Evil Spirits, was nothing more than a target in front of modern weapons.

A few missiles could easily take them out.

However, out of caution, the Commander did not take immediate action, but decided to first ascertain the identities of these four people.

Through the satellite positioning system, he quickly locked onto their appearances and called up the Skynet database for comparison...

The Commander began to investigate the identities of these four people.

Before long, Blood Skyhawk's information surfaced.

"Blood Skyhawk, Chinese nationality, an important member of the evil organization Lingyou Sect. Three years ago, he was fully pursued by two teams of the Great Xia Zhurong Department for massacring thousands of people."

"Searching..."

"Searching..."

"No such person found!"

As for the other three, only one person's information was currently being processed, while the other two had no results for a long time.

The most surprising thing was that one of them couldn't even be found in the Skynet system.

The Commander's pupils slightly contracted when he saw this, and he decisively closed the query interface.

For Skynet to spend so much time investigating, it meant that the identities of those two were extraordinary.

And the fact that the last person completely vanished from the Skynet system made things even more complicated.

Clearly, Blood Skyhawk was just a decoy, a smoke bomb to attract attention.

The remaining three must be hiding some powerful background or ability.

However, the Commander didn't care who they were—whether they were elites secretly trained by Great Xia, or masters dispatched by the Lingyou Sect, none of that mattered.

What was important was that they had trespassed without notification, even forcing their way in while the defense system was already activated.

As the Commander guarding the World-Destroying level Critical Point of "Netherworld Projection," he had full authority to directly eliminate them without consulting anyone.

...

At the same time, Blood Skyhawk was rushing at full speed towards the Bay when he suddenly felt a sense of being monitored.

This feeling was familiar, like the time he was pursued by Great Xia via satellite positioning after being forced to complete a massacre of thousands of people—that feeling of being watched.

How could an ordinary Critical Point be continuously monitored by satellites?

Japan clearly didn't have such technical capabilities, and according to international rules, they weren't allowed to do so either.

Then the only possibility was the Beacon Country.

But even so, the Beacon Country couldn't waste satellite resources on a small area for a long time.

A faint unease rose in Blood Skyhawk's heart.

Wait...

At this moment, Blood Skyhawk suddenly remembered Su Yun mentioning a "powerful" Critical Point nearby.

He hadn't delved into it at the time, but now, recalling it, the words "powerful" seemed ominous.

Last time Su Yun mentioned "powerful," it directly attracted the Sword Saint; what would happen this time?

Blood Skyhawk felt a chill in his heart: Could this be a Calamity Court!

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Blood Skyhawk's scalp tingled a bit.

After all, an S-rank wasn't a problem for him, and even an S+ rank, with the energy balls given by the Scarlet Lord, he dared to test the waters.

But if it was a Calamity Court... that would be completely different.

Not to mention the strength of the people guarding this place, just the level of Evil Spirits lurking nearby would be enough to turn a small fry like him into a death trap.

There was no other possibility.

Should he retreat?

But leaving like this, Blood Skyhawk felt unwilling.

After all, he was definitely being targeted by the Sword Saint now.

If he retreated now, he probably wouldn't even have a chance later.

But if it really was a Calamity Court, would three energy balls truly be enough?

Blood Skyhawk frowned and pondered for a while, finally gritting his teeth and deciding:

Do it!

No matter what, he had to see it with his own eyes before making a decision.

Otherwise, if he returned empty-handed, he probably wouldn't be respected even if he joined the Calamity Court.

Of course, if it was confirmed to be a Calamity Court, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.

But if it wasn't, he would try to open this Critical Point no matter what.

Having made up his mind, Blood Skyhawk no longer hesitated and immediately accelerated forward.
