Mu Qing's injuries gradually healed.
Fortunately, the black mist power on the Blood Heart was not particularly strong. Mu Qing only needed to spend a little time to resolve it.
But this incident had served as a warning to him.
Time suspension did not mean he was invincible.
Just like this time, Mie Shang had concealed power within the Blood Heart.
The black mist power on the Blood Heart had indeed been caught in time suspension, but its might still remained.
Nothing would have happened if he had not touched it, but Mu Qing had gone and approached it himself. That was why he had been hit even while time was suspended!
Time suspension could indeed bring everything to a standstill, but the inherent danger of certain powers would not be erased—especially when Mu Qing had taken the initiative to touch them.
"What a pity. In the end, I only obtained one Blood Heart."
Mu Qing sighed.
All five Blood Hearts contained black mist power. It would have been easy enough for Mu Qing to break it—he only needed to circulate the Sun Scripture at the major accomplishment stage and strike twice to dispel the black mist power.
But time suspension only lasted two seconds in total. Mu Qing could obtain, at most, one Blood Heart.
If he had hesitated any longer, that royal blood demon would likely have blasted him to death outright.
"The next time we encounter those blood demon squads, it probably won't be so simple."
Mu Qing frowned.
Back in the Nonexistence Domain, he had heard everything Mie Shang said. He had not expected there to truly be connections between those blood demon squads!
Moreover, based on some of the methods Mu Qing had displayed, Mie Shang and the others had already arrived at certain conclusions.
