Sui Xiong's trials and executions in Iron Sand City lasted a total of ten days.
After ten days, the earth beneath the guillotine had been soaked through with blood. By the final day, after a whole night had passed, the blood could no longer seep into the soil, congealing into a hard blackish-red mass.
Then that day's blood covered the hardened mass, making the little pool of scarlet far larger than before.
