That was the call of blood.
Before a secret cavern, white-haired Li Yu stood silently at its entrance... His hand held Qiu Niang's.
It was not he who was afraid, but Qiu Niang.
"You... you really intend to go in?"
"I'm not going in." Li Yu spoke indifferently. "I'll wait here for it to come out... It should be the one coming to meet me."
Du Qiu Niang still wanted to say something, but she suddenly felt a terrifying aura slowly seep out from within the cavern... In the darkness, a tall figure could be seen stepping out one stride at a time.
"He was right. It should indeed be me coming to meet you." The Sea of Blood Demon King Fentian's voice rumbled. "You've finally come, Blood God Son!"
Li Yu said calmly, "I know why you came looking for me. I have only one question."
"Go ahead."
Li Yu said, "In the end, whether I devour Styx or Styx devours me... whom will you serve?"
Demon King Fentian immediately waved his hand. Two streaks of Blood Light shot out and transformed into two bizarre swords, one long and one short. "No matter who it is, I will only serve the person acknowledged by these two supreme treasures of slaughter."
"These are..."
"Killing without incurring karmic consequences." The Sea of Blood Demon King Fentian chuckled. "The embryonic form of the Slaughter Heavenly Dao—the Abi and Yuantu!"
"The Slaughter Heavenly Dao..." Li Yu mused for a long while. "So this is the new Heavenly Dao Styx wants to establish... Then come on."
He reached out directly, extending his hand to grasp the Abi Sword.
Yet the instant his hand closed around the Abi Sword, a flash of white light swept across the sky and simultaneously passed over all of them.
