Life and Death Beneath the Blade

"Oh?" Lu Ran's heart stirred.

He had been worrying over how to make his move. Now that a head had emerged from that blood pool, wasn't it perfect for luring it over?

Having only just arrived, Lu Ran naturally wanted to proceed cautiously. He would lure the enemy out for a one-on-one, rather than rashly charge into these blood-pool-covered mountains.

After pondering for a moment, he immediately canceled his invisibility.

In an instant, Lu Ran sensed that a gaze had locked onto him.

But it was not the one he had been watching. It was—

"Whoosh!"

Lu Ran's heart clenched. Sensing the energy fluctuations behind him, he instinctively flashed away.

When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away.

Lu Ran looked up and saw a blood-colored figure standing at the edge of the cliff where he had once stood.

It resembled a tall youth, thick blood flowing all over his body.

Its face was particularly vicious, with red hair and red pupils. Even its skin was blood-red.

Around its neck hung a necklace of tiny blood-red skulls. Its muscular upper body was bare, and it wore tattered shorts. In its naturally hanging hands, it held a slender blood blade each.

Head of the Great Xia Evil—Blood Skull!

"Uh..." Lu Ran could not help shivering.

Blood Skull at the cliff's edge abruptly turned its head. Its pair of blood pupils stared fixedly at Lu Ran, and that sinister gaze was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

What the hell.

What Blood Skull?

It was plainly a Blood Asura, a Night Demon!

One had to know, Lu Ran's Strength Realm was already Sea Realm, Third Stage. Yet beneath that terrifying gaze, his heart spasmed violently.

This race was actually this strong?

This aura... was it high-level Sea Realm?
