Fusion

Yi Yun's blade strikes grew stronger with each blow, like surging waves that sliced away the dark clouds, unleashing a sky full of golden light and a murderous aura.

During the rapid attack, Yi Yun's pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints. He stared at a point in space, a point of scarlet, which was a drop of red blood floating in mid-air!

With a burst of Pure Yang Power, Yi Yun aimed his blade at the red blood and slashed down!

"Bite!"

With a crisp sound, the space itself seemed to shatter, but to Yi Yun's surprise, he couldn't even cut through this drop of blood!

"Um!?"

Yi Yun watched as the blood droplet only slightly deformed before returning to its original state. He sensed a terrifying force field surrounding the droplet, indicating that he had actually struck the force field protecting the blood.

When energy is condensed to its limit, it generates a force field, which Yi Yun cannot break through.

"The Deity's Blood is in my hands. You think you can stop me from fusing with this drop of blood this way? You're too naive..."

Zhulong flicked his finger, and a drop of red blood flew from his hand, landing squarely between his eyebrows.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The sound of burning flames rang out, and the skin and flesh on the forehead of the Candle Dragon were rapidly corroded after being touched by this drop of blood.

The muscles on Zhulong's face twitched violently a few times, and the drop of blood completely merged into the space between Zhulong's eyebrows.

"Boom!"

Terrifying energy erupted from the center of Zhulong's brow, radiating in all directions. The entire barrier trembled violently, and Yi Yun was forced to retreat.

Yi Yun saw that the red blood lines started from between Zhulong's eyebrows and began to spread outwards like a spider web. After his muscles were integrated with these blood lines, they began to faintly turn red and shine, as if flames were burning within them.

The fiery dark red color quickly spread across the entire body of the Candle Dragon. He roared suddenly, like the howl of an ancient Giant Beast. The sound waves formed a visible shockwave that spread in all directions. The earth was lifted by the shockwave, forming a huge wave of earth that surged and rolled. Wherever it passed, even the mountains and rivers trembled.

The surrounding human and wild warriors felt their internal organs churn after being swept by this terrifying roar. Those with weaker cultivation levels felt dizzy, their ears bled, and they collapsed to the ground.

However, these martial artists, who had suffered internal injuries from the sound waves and fallen to the ground, were not upset at all; on the contrary, they were overjoyed.

"Young Master Candle Dragon! Young Master Candle Dragon has finally unleashed his true power!"

Even though everyone knows that Zhulong is very powerful, they still need to see him in person to understand just how powerful he is.

"That's the Deity's Blood, rumored to be the blood flowing from the Eye of Destruction in the Eternal Vortex. That Eye of Destruction occupies the entire God Burying Abyss; what kind of existence is that? Unimaginable!"

The strength of Young Master Candle Dragon was already unfathomable, and with the fusion of Deity's Blood, he would likely gain a bit of the power of the Eye of Destruction. Even a tiny bit of energy from the Eye of Destruction would be beyond their imagination.

"I haven't felt this power in a long time..."

Zhulong looked at his hands. The blood lines on his body stretched up from his wrists and disappeared into the black gloves. At the tips of the gloves' ten fingers, long claws extended out, gleaming coldly.

"I really miss it..." Zhulong clenched his fist. After fusing with the Deity's Blood, his voice became deep and solemn, and every word he spoke resonated.

"First of all..." As Zhulong finished speaking, a sudden murderous intent flashed through his mind. He abruptly raised his hand and unleashed a hand-blade slash!

"Whoosh!"

A crescent-shaped energy blade shot out from Zhulong's hand. The energy blade was extremely fast, as if it could cleave the heavens and the earth in two. And its target was not Yi Yun, nor Lin Xin Tong, but... the Third Inspector, the Masked Man controlled by Yi Yun!

"Um!?"

Yi Yun's Spiritual Sense, which was located within the Masked Man's soul sea, saw the crescent-shaped energy blade slashing towards him. He was startled and quickly controlled the Masked Man's clone to retreat!

However, Zhulong's attack was too fast. The energy blade contained terrifying killing intent and completely locked onto the Masked Man, leaving him no room to dodge and forcing him to take the hit head-on!

The Masked Man flipped his hand and took out a bone scythe from his Space Ring. Before the scythe could even be slashed, it collided with the energy blade emitted by the Candle Dragon.

"Boom!"

The immense impact sent the Masked Man flying backward from the crescent-shaped energy blade!

One end of the energy blade grazed the ground, breaking through the soil and carving out a furrow.

"Boom!!"

The Masked Man and the crescent-shaped energy blade collided with a mountain peak, causing a powerful energy explosion that collapsed most of the mountain.

The Masked Man's arms were broken, and the bone scythe in his hand was also broken in two. Unbridled energy poured onto him, breaking countless ribs. His mask fell off, revealing a bloody and mangled face.

Shentu Nantian's physical body was not particularly strong to begin with. After being killed by Yi Yun, it was first possessed by Yin Sha, then occupied by Evil Energy, and suffered various injuries in the battle. The body was already in a terrible state. Now, with Zhu Long's fatal blow, the inside of the body is completely rotten and useless.

"Ugh--Ugh--"

Within the Masked Man's soul sea, Yi Yun's separated Spiritual Sense had not yet receded. He could sense the Evil Energy hidden within the Masked Man's soul sea, emitting angry roars and howls. Although this Evil Energy lacked intelligence, it possessed instinct. Its "habitat" had been destroyed, so of course it was furious.

However, Yi Yun forcefully suppressed the Evil Energy, preventing it from escaping.

This Evil Energy has not yet fully matured, and Yi Yun does not want to expose it to Zhulong. Zhulong is indeed powerful, and after absorbing that strange Deity's Blood, it is difficult to estimate his true strength.

Ultimately, the Evil Energy was controlled by the Purple Crystal, and under the command of Yi Yun's Spiritual Sense, it lay dormant.

Shentu Nantian's body was completely unusable. It was vomiting a large amount of black blood and fragments of internal organs. In the eyes of the surrounding human warriors, Shentu Nantian was doomed.

Zhulong's single strike killed the Third Inspector, terrifying everyone present.

The Masked Man was seen by the members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance as a ruthless and capricious Heavenly Blood Alliance, but he was instantly killed by Zhulong.

Has Zhulong already concluded that the Masked Man is a traitor? Isn't he afraid of killing the wrong person?

"This piece of trash, you've got him under your control, haven't you?"

Zhulong looked at Yi Yun and slowly uttered these words.

Yi Yun was slightly startled. He hadn't expected that Zhulong could not only see that the Masked Man had betrayed him, but also that he was being controlled by him.

Zhulong sneered, "You've been hiding your strength too well. With your power, how could the Third Inspector possibly force you to sign Soul Contract? That's problematic in itself. Besides, there's a faint spiritual connection between you and the Third Inspector..."

Zhulong's senses were extremely sharp. He did not detect the Evil Power, but when Yi Yun used the Purple Crystal to manipulate the Evil Energy, he needed to use some mental power, which Zhulong detected.

"I don't like people playing puppets in front of me, and I especially dislike having a venomous snake lurking in my ranks. The real Third Inspector has already been killed by you!"

Was the Third Inspector controlled by Yi Yun?

The members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance present were so shocked by Zhulong's words that they were speechless.

The Third Inspector, whom they usually feared and who seemed sinister, was actually a puppet who had been killed and then regained control by Jiang Yi Dao. This was truly hard to accept.

Could it be that the Third Inspector's usual words and actions, his punishments and rewards for members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance, and the orders he issues are all Jiang Yi Dao's doing?

Who exactly is Jiang Yi Dao, and why does he possess such unbelievable abilities? (To be continued~^~)
