Battle Against the Blood Puppets
After a slight hesitation, Lin Mu's Divine Soul surged toward the Divine Soul Eye.
The Divine Soul Eye emitted a faint glow, as if Lin Mu had opened the Eye of God, his gaze passing through the blood mist and imprinting the surrounding scene into his mind.
He noticed that those who had been refining their Blood Qi earlier now had faces filled with pain, and their necks and faces were covered with blood-red lines resembling earthworms, making them look extremely terrifying.
Moreover, Lin Mu also observed that the light in some people's eyes was gradually fading.
His expression became blank.
Just as Lin Mu was observing them, several figures walked towards them from not far away.
Sensing the presence of these people, Lin Mu jumped into the Blood Pool.
He submerged himself in the Blood Pool and unleashed the Sky-Shrouding Netherworld Art.
When Lin Mu used this technique, his aura was completely concealed, making him appear like a living dead.
Unless you see him in person, you can't detect even a trace of his presence.
Just then, the group arrived near the Blood Pool and scanned their surroundings.
The man in the lead was dressed in a black robe, with graying temples, and appeared to be around forty years old, with some wrinkles around his eyes.
His gaze swept around.
Behind him was a man holding a scepter, who tapped the ground lightly with the scepter.
Knock knock!
Two muffled sounds rang out, and an invisible wave of power spread outwards.
The thick blood mist seemed to be affected by something, gradually thinning out and then completely dissipating in a short while.
Several Blood Pool appeared in everyone's sight.
Most people who enter the Blood Pool are like Walking Corpses, their skin is blood red, and every blood vessel looks like an earthworm, which is extremely frightening.
Their eyes were vacant, and most of their bodies were submerged in blood.
"Rise!" the man in the black robe shouted, raising his hands.
As soon as he finished speaking, figures emerged from the Blood Pool, standing neatly in front of the man in black robes like puppets.
"A group of promising talents! The next few levels will all depend on you!"
The man in the black robe said with a smile.
After saying that, he formed a hand seal, and a special Rune Seal appeared in his palm.
These figures also had this special Rune Seal appearing on their foreheads.
They all turned around and walked forward.
The man in black robes and others followed behind them.
Upon arriving at a large gate, Zhao Chang rushed forward, took out two blood-red stones from his pocket, stacked them on top of each other, and then placed them into a recessed hole.
Rumble!
A series of sounds came, and the heavy door slowly opened.
The group walked through the gate.
Lin Mu's body remained submerged in the Blood Pool until everyone had left, at which point he finally emerged.
Because of his Divine Soul Eye, he has an extremely keen perception of the surrounding atmosphere.
Of course, I know there's no one else here.
"There was definitely something wrong!" The scene from just now flashed into Lin Mu's mind.
He could clearly sense the evil in those people.
As for those who are under their control, they are likely in grave danger.
Lin Mu thought for a moment, and he originally wanted to leave this place.
But then I thought, since we've come this far, if we just leave like this, we might not be able to get here so easily next time.
"I possess the Sky-Shrouding Netherworld Art and Movement Technique, so escaping shouldn't be a problem!" Lin Mu pondered for a moment.
He had just used his Divine Soul sense to investigate, but these people hadn't sensed him.
This indicates that their cultivation level is not very high.
If they can't win, the probability of them running away is still very high.
Fortune favors the bold.
How can there be a breakthrough without taking some risks?
Lin Mu slowly climbed out of the Blood Pool and walked towards the gate.
Beyond the main gate lies a fairly spacious corridor.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the people in front finally stopped.
Dozens of statues were placed around them, each with a different shape; some resembled Fierce Beast, but were not entirely Fierce Beast.
Behind these statues is a throne, upon which sits a blood-red crown, emitting a faint blood-red glow.
Upon seeing the crown, a hint of greed flickered in the Black Robe's eyes.
Rumble!
Just as they stood in front of these statues, a series of sounds came from them.
All that could be seen was the statues trembling slightly, cracks appearing on their surface, large chunks of stone falling to the ground, and strange-looking beasts coming to life.
Their eyes were crimson, and their bodies were filled with an aura of violence and slaughter.
They seemed to be born killing machines.
Roar!
They roared and fixed their eyes on the people present.
The man in Black Robe smiled faintly, "Last time I wasn't prepared, and you almost killed me!"
"This time, I'm fully prepared!"
His hands were outstretched, and there were rather special Rune Seal on his palms, shimmering with dazzling light.
The people in front of him also had Rune Seal appearing on their foreheads, shimmering with light.
They roared like wild beasts.
Their figures rushed towards the monsters, their Source Qi and Blood Qi surging out.
Although under control, he still retained his combat experience from his previous life.
Most of them were armed and using their Martial Skill against the monsters.
Sizzle!
A series of whooshing sounds rang out, followed by a dazzling display of Martial Skill.
The terrifying onslaught continued to fall on the monsters.
These monsters are not very strong.
Almost instantly upon engaging in combat, they sustained wounds of varying degrees.
Surprisingly, after being injured, they would breathe heavily, and the Blood Qi that enveloped the palace would gather in their mouths.
Streams of Blood Qi surged into their wounds, emitting a faint bloody glow.
The injury healed almost instantly.
Lin Mu was surprised when he saw this.
Thinking back to what Zhao Chang said earlier.
These creatures in front of us are very likely Blood Puppet.
A creature with an extremely fast recovery speed, almost impossible to kill.
"No wonder they need to control so many people! They're using them to deal with the Blood Puppet!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
Boom boom boom!
A series of booming sounds rang out continuously.
The two sides engaged in fierce fighting.
Although those monsters were not very strong, they were Immortal Body and charged around recklessly, completely ignoring the attacks of the martial artists.
Because these warriors were controlled by the Black Robe, they felt no fear and continued to attack the monster.
Some people, even after being hit by monsters and losing half their bodies, continued to use their Martial Skill against the monsters.
Until complete death.
Lin Mu also discovered that their previous immersion in the Blood Pool had strengthened their physical bodies. As long as their heads were not completely shattered, ordinary wounds could stop bleeding quickly and without pain.
This improved their combat effectiveness to some extent.
Lin Mu simply didn't know why these people used such bizarre methods!
