548 Investigation VI

"Ten Thousand Shadows Vanish!"

At that moment, all the Shadow monsters spoke simultaneously.

The sound transformed into a wave of sound, rumbling and shaking the entire cave.

When the last word "extinguish" was uttered, the sound waves reached their peak and all of them coalesced.

The invisible sound wave distorted the air and the light, turning into an elliptical shockwave that was still deforming, and crashed hard into Zhang Rongfang.

"Blood Lotus!"

"Final Form!!"

Amidst the Blood Pool, Zhang Rongfang raised his head, his face, already bleeding from all seven orifices, suddenly contorted into a ferocious and grotesque expression.

Countless muscles and blood vessels, like earthworms crawling, rapidly bulged on his skin, forming lotus flower patterns.

His height increased rapidly, and he became much larger.

Three meters.

Four meters!

Five meters!

Six meters!! His head was at the top of the cave, directly piercing a large hole in the ceiling.

Faced with the massive sonic shockwave, he slapped his hands together in the middle.

Boom! The sound waves dissipated.

Zhang Rongfang stomped his foot.

Boom!!!

All the array patterns inside the cave lit up with white light at the same time, preventing him from trampling and destroying them.

An invisible force held Zhang Rongfang's right foot numb, leaving him suspended in mid-air.

"Yin and Yang." In the corner, a figure emerged from the shadows once more; it was Xue Tong, who calmly observed the scene.

In a daze, a black monster shadow shot out from beneath his feet, and the Demon Weapon Crystal City in his hand suddenly turned from pitch black to pure white.

A tiny golden glint appeared at the tip of the sword.

Whoosh! The Demon Weapon struck Zhang Rongfang from below, with lightning speed, starting from his crotch and moving upwards.

The sword was blocked by Zhang Rongfang's third arm, which extended from behind his back. The two collided violently, producing a loud bang.

Boom! A shockwave exploded from the center of the collision, forming a ring of white mist that scattered and impacted the cave walls.

"Thousand Flowers." Xue Tong's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this.

Shadow flew out from beneath his feet again, all of them were hideous monsters wielding white Demon Weapon.

These monsters each had a crooked horn on their forehead, a human-like body, some of them hunched over, and sharp claws at the ends of their limbs, which they could use to grasp weapons.

One after another, shadowy monsters lunged at Zhang Rongfang. Their power was significantly greater than before.

The Shadow and blood neutralized each other, emitting a constant, violent hissing sound of corrosion.

"Impressive." Even Xue Tong had to admit that Zhang Rongfang's progress was too fast.

"If I had been given more time to grow, perhaps I would never have been your match. Unfortunately, your fate is sealed."

Zhang Rongfang's strength and techniques did indeed exceed some of his expectations, but that didn't matter. He Worship God for decades, and now he had accumulated a great deal of knowledge; one foot was already in the realm of Remnant God.

After decades of accumulated power, even if Zhang Rongfang is strong, it's only a flash in the pan. How long can he last? Watching the blood and the Shadow dissolve and evaporate, Xue Tong couldn't help but feel regret.

"If you hadn't met me, who knows what your future would have held? What a pity. What a real pity."

Zhang Rongfang did not answer; he was already exhausted from dealing with the white light of the formation and the rushing Shadows.

He was so exhausted from running around that he started coughing up blood continuously.

The blood was increasing, spreading from his feet outwards, covering a larger and larger area.

One minute later.

He was vomiting blood. Xue Tong looked regretful.

Two minutes later.

He was spitting blood. Xue Tong frowned slightly.

Three minutes later.

He was covered in blood. Xue Tong sensed something was wrong.

Five minutes later, poof.

The entrance was completely blocked by a large amount of thick, sticky blood. It was sealed off.

Xue Tong's expression had become extremely solemn.

The formation kept the Gods and Buddhas out, and also kept him inside, leaving him alone in a room with Zhang Rongfang.

In other words, either he or Zhang Rongfang must die in order to get out.

This magic formation was quite famous during a period of turmoil among Gods and Buddhas.

Its name is the God Sealing Array!

And now... "This blood..." Xue Tong looked down at the blood that had completely submerged him, then looked up at Zhang Rongfang.

At this moment, Zhang Rongfang was covered in blood, but the blood flowed slowly down his body like a fountain, while countless drops of blood climbed up from his feet and returned to his body.

Of the surrounding Shadow monsters, only three remained, still struggling in their death throes.

But no matter where they land and touch any spot of blood, thick white smoke will rise from that spot.

The white light of the magic circle beneath their feet had dimmed to the point of flickering like a candle in the wind.

Xue Tong looked directly at Zhang Rongfang.

"I take back what I said before. You're no longer a genius."

"You are already qualified to become a dominant force in the Great Ling Realm."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Rongfang's massive body suddenly moved.

A six-meter-tall body crouched, lunged forward, and pounced. In an instant, it pierced through dozens of meters of space in the cave, a single claw! The sharp sound of air being torn apart transformed into the cry of an eagle, and blood gushed from Zhang Rongfang's body, seemingly congealing into a blood-red eagle behind him.

The eagle spreads its wings wide, its sharp talons pointing downwards.

Boom!!!!

Xue Tong was crushed like a watermelon by the giant claw, turning into countless black smoke, then corroded, and then turned into white smoke.

"I acknowledge you, junior." Xue Tong's voice slowly echoed from the remaining smoke.

"No, it should be, the Human Immortal Temple Master!"

BOOM!!!

The cave walls were violently torn, dented, and collapsed, squeezed and smashed into a pit more than ten meters deep by this blow.

Retracting his claws, Zhang Rongfang turned to look at the spot where Xue Tong had been blown up.

'Is he dead?'

"No, that was a split spirit. But even with this level of strength, it's still a very important split spirit," White Scale replied.

"I guessed so. Xue Tong, what is this person's background? Could he really be the Grand Master the Great Dao Sect?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"Regardless, you killed one of his avatars. I've heard that your Daoist Gods and Buddhas all possess the supernatural power of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones beings. Besides this avatar, there should be two more. You'll meet again in the future. You'd better be careful then," White Scale said.

'Can I continue practicing Daoist Sect Civilian Skill to develop this supernatural power,' One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones '?' Zhang Rongfang's heart stirred.

"Civilian Skill are only used to increase the difficulty of our Divine Descent or to reduce the difficulty of modifying flesh and blood when Worship God. They have nothing to do with supernatural powers," White Scale replied.

"So that's how it is." All the blood around Zhang Rongfang's feet began to return to his body.

Blood River is indeed a very strong move, but the blood loss is a bit slow and needs to cover the surrounding environment to maximize its power.

Zhang Rongfang reached out and scooped up a still-beating heart from the pool of Blood Pool on the ground. The heart was connected to a large number of blood vessels, which were intertwined like a spider web.

He shoved his heart back into the gaping wound, then watched as the wound healed rapidly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You just hid your heart in the Blood River?!" White Scale could hear the shock and disbelief in her voice even without looking at her face.

"No. The original one exploded, this one was rebuilt," Zhang Rongfang said. "To prevent the heart from becoming a fatal weakness, I reconstructed the meridians and blood vessels around the heart."

He grabbed the heart again, then pulled on the aorta, stretching it like a rubber band.

Watching the blood vessels lengthen and shorten in his hands, lengthen and shorten.

"You see, I've enhanced their contractility so I can hide the heart wherever I want."

And even if it's discovered and destroyed, I can regenerate a new one within seconds, just like those Spirit Vein. Isn't that simple?

'No, it's not simple at all. Even the Spirit Vein 'Worship God isn't as monstrous as yours.' White Scale was speechless.

Zhang Rongfang also remarked that as his life points increased, more and more blood accumulated in his body, and the activity of his flesh and blood became stronger and stronger.

It seems that his Life Attribute do not enhance his strength at all.

However, after reaching a certain level, a qualitative change gradually began to occur. Soon, the surrounding Blood River was completely absorbed into his body, until the last drop of blood returned to his skin. Zhang Rongfang also withdrew the Blood Lotus and the Final Form, returning to his original state.

"Let's go. The matter of Xue Tong is temporarily settled. It's time to go back."

"Don't be careless. You only defeated him in the Doubtful Cloud Mist; it was a victory of willpower and intellect. In reality, Xue Tong's strength is absolutely earth-shattering. Be extremely careful!" White Scale warned.

"I understand, don't worry." Zhang Rongfang nodded slightly.

After Xue Tong disappeared, the poisonous miasma in the entire Wish Woman Canyon was reduced by more than half.

This made Zhang Rongfang realize that the Wish Woman had been the one to take the blame was actually Xue Tong himself; the one who truly created the poisonous miasma and sealed off this place was Xue Tong.

This person's purpose is mysterious, and his strength is formidable. According to White Scale, based solely on his consciousness and will, he is probably already Demigod -like being.

If they had a physical body, their strength in reality would be absolutely terrifying. They would most likely be at the Spirit General level.

And she's not a mediocre person like Sang Lan.

In response, Zhang Rongfang communicated with his friends in the Reverse Time Society and received a promise of security. In addition, Master Yue's side was at its zenith, showing off its power and influence, so he was no longer worried.

The longer he has time, the stronger he becomes; he's not the one in a hurry anyway.

In the following days, he improved his martial arts skills and stabilized his strength while also keeping a close eye on his nephew.

Meanwhile, they are also investigating and collecting intelligence on the Confucian Seven Gentlemen Sword.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Little Huan Qing has officially turned one year old. And just as Li Zhen of the Confucian Sect said, the abnormality in Little Huan Qing only lasted for half a year before it gradually faded and disappeared.

Soon his temperament also became gentle, polite and humble. At the age of one, he was already the height of other children who were three or four years old.

Moreover, his memory, comprehension, physique, and energy levels have all greatly improved.

After repeatedly receiving and confirming intelligence, Zhang Rongfang was certain that his nephew had weathered the difficult period and would no longer harbor such malicious intentions. Only then did he reconsider his thoughts.

After realizing his sister's thoughts and ambitions, he still felt a lingering unease.

So he stopped going to Mu Chi Prefecture often and instead spent more time at the clinic or Human Immortal Platform.

Aside from practicing and maintaining martial arts every day to avoid becoming rusty in their skills, they also research how to use newly acquired abilities and how to apply the +1 Enemy Anticipation.

He only knows how to use many of these abilities and talents superficially, but he could combine them and use them in his full form to create new Immortal Method techniques.

Furthermore, the bloodline of the Blood Clan Progenitor seems to produce special effects as more and more blood accumulates in the body.

Time flies when you're doing research like this, and before you know it, another year has passed.
