Cooperation Is Out of the Question

The Demon Race Heaven-Controlling Realm's Jiqu recalled the information about the Blood Lotus in just a few seconds.

This fragrance is a ancestral gift of the Blood Lotus family, emitted when its owner is on the verge of death in order to sense the specific situation of others.

Therefore, the spread was terrifyingly large.

Originally, only those who possessed the Blood Lotus could smell this fragrance and discern the information contained within it.

However, after the experimental modification, this aroma is now released indiscriminately, and its range has been further expanded.

Clearly, it has lost its original function of secretly transmitting information.

However, Jiqu is worried about now is not the safety of the experimental subjects.

What he was really worried about was that the fragrance would attract the attention of Suo Qiaoyun, the Heaven-Controlling Realm expert of the Human Race.

Suo Qiaoyun said that he was the one who once held the power of life and death over the Yuwen Family.

In order to acquire that extraordinary self-healing ability, she conducted extensive research on the Yuwen Family.

Although he ultimately failed to transplant the Blood Lotus into his body.

Furthermore, the experiment led to the complete annihilation of the Yuwen Family, whose numbers had already dwindled.

However, this also gave Suo Qiaoyun the ability to smell the Blood Lotus.

Therefore, she will inevitably discover what that increasingly strong, familiar scent is.

This means that at this crucial time, the Human Race, Demon Race, and Sea Races are seeking cooperation.

The fact that the Demon Race had captured large numbers of Human Race elites for experiments has been exposed.

"Boom!"

Before Suo Qiaoyun arrived at the scene, Jiqu was the first to reach the source of the fragrance.

Without hesitation, he attacked the fog wall formed by Shisui Feather Powder, hoping to erase the evidence before Suo Qiaoyun arrived.

However, he seemed too anxious to notice that there were more than just Demon Race test subjects present.

There's also Shisui, the Heaven-Controlling Realm who's been hiding his presence.

The next moment, Feather Powder surged, forcefully swallowing the Jiqu into the mist.

Shisui's figure suddenly appeared less than two meters in front of Jiqu.

"Hello."

With a hint of teasing, Shisui raised his hand in greeting.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Radiant Feathers pierced towards the Jiqu pupils.

"Boom--!"

A sound a hundred times louder than before rang out!

Jiqu's body was blasted away by the explosion and crashed into the ruins of Willow City like a cannonball.

"Cough cough cough..."

He coughed up blood uncontrollably, and his body felt a long-forgotten, excruciating pain.

The internal organs were ruptured and displaced due to the damage caused by the explosion.

The Undying Cells began an emergency repair process on the body.

However, the repair time, which used to take less than a second, is now being stretched out indefinitely.

Because the Composite Radiant Feathers inflicts more than just ordinary physical damage.

More importantly, it can also damage the target's soul.

Moreover, the moment he entered the fog, the Rc Cells had already begun to invade the prey's body through the respiratory tract.

Under the same conditions, when facing Rc Cells at full power, Undying Cells can only put up a desperate resistance and are forced to take the beating.

The longer Jiqu stays in the fog, the more Rc Cells he accumulates, and this decline will intensify.

Until his body was hollowed out by Rc Cells.

This situation was also observed in Jiqu.

His expression was grave; he knew now was no time to worry about the truth coming to light.

If this continues, he will die.

Numerous black, branch-like tentacles emerged, and the Jiqu ceased to maintain its humanoid form.

Its body continued to expand, and the Undying Cells within it began to become abnormally active.

Rc Cells were temporarily suppressed.

But he still couldn't expel these ferocious hunters from his body.

Shisui looked down from high above at Ji Qu, which had transformed into a giant sea Jiqu, and a long sword made of Koukaku appeared in his hand.

What does it look like inside when you cut it open?

Without thinking, Shisui twirled his sword, then raised it and swung it down fiercely!

"Clang!"

First, a sound like metal clashing rang out.

Both objects that collided were quite hard.

Then, the blade of the long sword in Shisui's hand began to vibrate up and down at an extremely high frequency.

High-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations create intermittent contact between the cutting tool and the material, directly reducing friction and cutting resistance.

Jiqu instantly felt excruciating pain and instinctively abandoned part of his body, dodging to the side.

A piece was cut off from the black body.

The continent below was also split open, creating a huge crack more than ten meters deep and twenty meters wide.

Knowing that it was no match for the Predator in front of it, the prey, Jiqu, fled without hesitation.

Shisui sensed the approaching Human Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm from the outside world.

He manually used his spatial abilities to "correct" the route of the Jiqu's escape, aligning it with the same direction as the Human Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm.

Then, he placed Li Nai'an's body, which had been isolated, into the open space between them.

Then, Shisui concealed himself, intending to watch the show for a while.

He wondered if, under these circumstances, Human Race and Demon Race could still be trusted partners who could rely on each other for support.

As it turns out, cooperation was out of the question.

Even if we set aside old grudges...

The mere sight of this Yuwen Family descendant, transformed into a carrier of Undying Cells, was enough to make Suo Qiaoyun refuse to cooperate with the Demon Race.

She dared not gamble; if the newcomers cooperated, would the Demon Race become even more unscrupulous in capturing Human Race and sending them to the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range?

Moreover, this cooperation is destined to be temporary.

Once the Ghouls, this ticking time bomb, are defused, the three parties will inevitably turn against each other.

It wouldn't be good if, when a fight breaks out, you suddenly discovered that there was some hidden danger planted behind your own back.

Although she was determined not to cooperate with the Demon Race, Suo Qiaoyun still maintained a gentle demeanor.

She exchanged a glance with the visibly anxious Jiqu, and then spoke first.

"Jiqu, aren't you going to explain?"

On the other side, the Jiqu clearly meant no nonsense.

He said seriously, "Suo Qiaoyun, I'm not in the mood for pretense right now."

What do you mean by that?

Seeing Jiqu's hostile attitude, Suo Qiaoyun's expression also turned cold.

"What's the meaning..."

Before Jiqu could finish speaking, he suddenly retreated.

Suo Qiaoyun immediately realized something was wrong and turned around to check the situation.

Then, caught off guard, he met the blood-red, Kakugan.

The next moment, excruciating pain erupted from deep within her brain, Suo Qiaoyun's entire body.

"Ahhh--!"
