The Last Chance

The Old Ancestor Blood River's upper body remained intact, while his lower body had turned into a pool of viscous blood, floating on the water's surface.

As the torrent surged, his whole body swayed up and down slightly.

Although his appearance is quite intimidating, anyone can see the confusion in his eyes.

He was well aware that at this point, reconciliation was no longer an option.

But he really didn't understand what he should do to truly get rid of Lu Bai.

Lu Bai remained silent, cautiously watching the Old Ancestor Blood River, only occasionally glancing at the reading progress.

And so, ten minutes passed peacefully.

Old Ancestor Blood River breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to compose himself.

Born into a demonic sect, he rose to the position of sect patriarch after weathering countless storms.

No matter how unfavorable the situation, he would never lose the courage to take a gamble.

Since it's clear that a peaceful resolution is impossible, the worst that can happen is death.

Old Ancestor Blood River clasped his hands together and said, "Heavenly Venerate Lu, you will probably win in the end, but don't underestimate us cultivators."

His voice gradually rose, and towards the end, it became almost a roar.

Before he could finish speaking, countless drops of blood, each the size of a fingernail, appeared in front of him.

This time, however, he didn't continue using the blood beads to launch ranged attacks; instead, he extended his right hand.

As if possessing sentience, numerous blood droplets rapidly converged, coalescing into a greatsword composed entirely of blood.

He gripped the blood greatsword, and the Blood Pool in his lower body acted like a jet, propelling him towards Lu Bai's location.

During the flight, the lower half of the Old Ancestor Blood River's body reappeared.

He raised the blood-red greatsword high and, with an overwhelming force, slashed down at Lu Bai's head.

The speed of the attack was naturally not as exaggerated as before, but at this stage, Lu Bai really couldn't easily dodge it.

Lu Bai focused intently on observing the arc of the Old Ancestor Blood River's attack, and after making his judgment, he quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the head-on blow.

Old Ancestor Blood River clearly did not place all his hopes on this one strike; the instant the strike missed, he turned and delivered a side kick.

It was already an achievement for Lu Bai to dodge the initial attack; even if he could see the subsequent pursuit clearly, his physical abilities, at the limit of an average person, wouldn't allow him to make an appropriate response.

Click~

A sickening sound of bones cracking rang out, even causing Lu Bai to instinctively show a hint of pain.

The immense force that followed sent him flying more than ten meters away, leaving him dazed and disoriented, feeling as if his entire body was about to fall apart.

Old Ancestor Blood River stood still, staring in astonishment at the scene, and unconsciously glanced down at his right leg.

He never expected that, despite charging forward with a death wish, the outcome might... be less pessimistic?

At the same time, the Deathmatch System kept refreshing his retina, frantically urging him to kill Lu Bai now.

Lu Bai's consistent performance, however, did not bring this powerful demonic cultivator any joy in victory; instead, it made him silently wary.

They moved forward slowly, wary of Lu Bai's next move.

He stopped about three meters away from Lu Bai and said, "Heavenly Venerate Lu, stop pretending and stand up."

Lu Bai lay on his back on the ground, ignoring the Old Ancestor Blood River.

It can only be said that Lu Bai left a very deep psychological scar on this powerful demonic cultivator. Even with the situation almost settled, Old Ancestor Blood River dared not relax.

To be on the safe side, the Old Ancestor Blood River flicked his fingers repeatedly, and fresh blood spun and sprayed from his fingertips.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

With several muffled thuds, several bloody holes appeared on Lu Bai's body, running from front to back.

"Could it be that..."

A sense of absurdity swept through the Old Ancestor Blood River's mind. "Heavenly Venerate Lu, are you already at a loss?"

His emotions were incredibly complex, including a hint of disappointment.

Even with the facts laid bare before him, he wasn't so quick to accept them.

Buzz~

Lu Bai, lying on the ground, suddenly gained a lot of momentum.

The bloody and murderous aura brought by the title, which was already so heavy that it could almost solidify, instantly doubled in size.

Moreover, the extremely dense killing intent continued to rise, and within just a few seconds, even the Old Ancestor Blood River felt a noticeable sense of suffocation.

It is worth mentioning that, faced with such a change, the Old Ancestor Blood River did not panic at all; on the contrary, he felt that this was the right thing to do.

Despite the excruciating pain, Lu Bai, who was lying on the ground, managed to sit up.

Even such a simple movement caused more blood to seep from the several holes in his body, making him gasp in pain.

After pausing for a moment, he looked at the Old Ancestor Blood River and said frankly, "Yes, I'm out of ideas."

His sudden surge in aura was not due to the use of any special ability.

Instead, when he realized that the imposing aura brought by these titles could not intimidate the Old Ancestor Blood River, he immediately decided to take a gamble.

He combined three five-star achievement titles into one six-star title.

I was pretty lucky; the six-star title I synthesized gave me an aura stronger than several five-star titles combined.

The problem is that this title, which enhances the wearer's prestige, is not enough for him to turn the tide in this situation.

The Old Ancestor Blood River retreated a few steps without making a sound, snorted coldly, and said with a hint of smugness in his eyes, "Heavenly Venerate Lu, do you think I would be so easily fooled?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bai fell silent.

I didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

He wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat; he didn't experience negative emotions, so naturally he wasn't afraid of death.

This comical outcome left him somewhat bewildered, both amused and exasperated.

After hesitating for a moment, he reminded her, "So what are you going to do? Just stand there and watch? You don't have that much time to waste, do you?"

Old Ancestor Blood River was well aware of this, knowing that as time went on, the abilities provided by the Deathmatch System would be taken away by Lu Bai.

Unfortunately, Lu Bai's behavior over the years has left him with a very deep shadow.

He also couldn't believe that such a terrifying aura wouldn't actually provide any combat ability.

Therefore, he would rather do nothing than make a mistake.

The Deathmatch System is in a hurry.

More and more information was being sent to the Old Ancestor Blood River's retina, almost like a barrage of comments flooding the screen.

"I see."

Lu Bai's tone was somewhat strange. "Are you scared?"

Old Ancestor Blood River: "After all, your opponent is you."

Seeing the Old Ancestor Blood River's stubborn refusal to back down, Lu Bai shook his head with amusement.

He endured the pain throughout his body and stood up somewhat awkwardly. As he stood up, he stumbled and almost fell again.

Lu Bai regained his footing and said with a sigh, "It's a pity you wasted your only chance to kill me."
