Song Wen stepped on empty air, and a scarlet Blood Tide surged out beneath his feet.
The Blood Tide transformed into two raging dragons, stretching and swelling as they charged straight toward Zhu You and Qing Xu behind him.
Zhu You was dressed like a scholar and held a long brush.
The brush was two feet long, dark throughout, and devoid of ornamentation. Only its tip held a gleam of silvery lightning, which flickered and flowed with a low hum.
Qing Xu, meanwhile, wore fitted martial attire and gripped a bronze mace.
The mace was less than four feet long. Purple veins showed through its bronze body, and purple lightning coiled around it, its shimmering radiance dancing like gold.
Each man activated the spirit treasure in his hand.
In an instant, two bolts of lightning, one silver and one purple, shot out to meet the charging blood-colored dragons.
Boom! Boom!
Two thunderous explosions rang out almost simultaneously, shaking heaven and earth.
Under the bombardment of the two lightning bolts, neither blood-colored dragon could advance an inch.
But the silver and purple lightning could not break through the dragons' blockade either.
For a moment, neither side seemed able to get the better of the other.
Still, Zhu You and Qing Xu had achieved their goal of temporarily holding Song Wen back.
Song Wen paid no attention to the battle behind him. He reached out and closed his hand around the Evil-Banishing Thunderwood he had drawn toward himself.
After a brief inspection confirmed there was nothing wrong with the Evil-Banishing Thunderwood, he casually stowed it in his storage ring.
Meanwhile, the sight of the blood-colored dragons drew a startled cry from Ji Yue.
"Hm? Could this... be the Blood Sea Seal?"
Ji Yue's gaze instantly sharpened.
"You're from the Divine Blood Sect.
