"So that's how it is!"
A flicker of understanding crossed the second captain's mind, but it was already too late...
Moon Master Anomaly's bloodied hand had already covered his face.
The next instant.
Boom!!
Second Captain Wu Lao's body exploded with a thunderous blast, turning into a skyful of black blood.
A Cloud-rank Martial Artist had fallen just like that!
"Wu Lao!"
"Brother Wu Lao!"
"You monster!!"
The other three roared in fury and charged at Moon Master Anomaly almost simultaneously. Their three long swords attacked from three different directions and angles.
Years of fighting side by side had made their coordinated assault incredibly seamless, perfectly sealing off every escape route.
But at that moment, they felt it. They felt what Wu Lao had felt before he died—or, rather... they sensed Moon Master Anomaly's method of attack!
It involved blood—controlling blood!
As the three attacked, the blood inside their bodies suddenly began to surge at an incredible speed of its own.
Within an instant, the rapidly flowing blood reached an extreme temperature. Then it secreted a black, viscous fluid that enveloped and contaminated the red blood before... bursting out through their bodies!
Sss! Sss! Sss!!
The right hands gripping their swords all sprayed black blood at almost the same time. It should have been scalding hot, but the black secretion enveloping it cooled it rapidly.
The violent change was like boiling lava suddenly subjected to an intense, rapid chill. It cooled in an instant, creating a strange high pressure that broke through the surface of the body, causing contamination and destruction.
They were all Cloud-rank Martial Artists. After experiencing Moon Master Anomaly's attack firsthand, they immediately understood what had happened.
But the price of discovering the truth was that all three had already been infected by Moon Master Anomaly's blood.
