Evolution Reliance

This was her ultimate move.

Lin Xiaotian struggled violently. How could he let her manipulate him? Even if he knew he might fail, how would he know without trying?

A vast cloud of black mist erupted violently from the seductive sister's body, so black it seemed almost solid.

Previously, it had only seemed black through his perception. Now, blackness visible to the naked eye burst forth from her.

In an instant, it filled the entire room, then gathered again and engulfed him.

An unbearable urge rose from the depths of his soul.

Lin Xiaotian's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and the seductive sister before him became even more delectable.

He could not hold back. He wanted to pounce on her, heedless of everything.

Blood Qi surged wildly, more fiercely than ever before.

Meanwhile, the light beneath his feet drew out line after line of patterns.

This was some kind of formation!

Though the impulse raging within him had nearly stripped him of reason, Lin Xiaotian could inexplicably sense everything happening around him.

And it was not just this powerful urge.

Huh! What's going on?

Lin Xiaotian was puzzled.

By all rights, the seductive technique the sister had used should have made him completely lose his mind.

Yet the intense thoughts within him and his body's instincts had not weakened. Instead, they had grown even stronger.

But he still knew everything that was happening.

Suddenly, inspiration flashed through his mind, as though he had grasped some crucial point.

This Blood Qi... it could indeed resist and purify such negative influences, but subconsciously, it seemed to be encouraging him to find more women and produce more offspring.

"..." This Blood Qi!

Lin Xiaotian was at a loss for words, both loving and hating this Blood Qi.

He clearly felt the surging urges, yet he had to force himself to endure them.

This Blood Qi might as well not have kept him conscious! Then he would not have had such a psychological burden.

The black mist she released was not without effect.

His mind was somewhat muddled, but overall, it remained under control.

He knew that was thanks to Blood Qi.

Yet his body was becoming harder and harder to control. His Blood Qi grew increasingly active, like a volcano erupting.

The seductive sister's laughter echoed throughout the room.

"Hmm, what's going on? Why is only a trace of Blood Qi pouring out?"

Hearing those words, Lin Xiaotian's gaze cleared considerably. He saw wisps of extremely thin blood threads rising from his body.

They were flowing toward Sister.

It seemed that if not for the special nature of his Blood Qi, all the essence and blood in his body would already have been drained dry by her.

"Good, very good. The harder the Blood Qi is to absorb, the richer the blood's flavor. Then Sister will come a little closer and give you more stimulation."

As she spoke, Sister stepped closer.

He could already smell the deadly fragrance wafting from her body, making his Blood Qi even more frenzied with excitement.

"Hahaha, yes. Little brother, if you don't die, Sister might even consider becoming your woman."

Damn it! Lin Xiaotian cursed inwardly.

Unfortunately, the immense disparity in strength could not change reality.

Even with Blood Qi helping him, its aid was limited and could not reverse the situation. If only he had been given some time for his Blood Qi to grow a little more.

He believed that he could definitely escape these demonic claws, perhaps even turn the tables.

Just when he thought there was absolutely no escaping death today.

A sharp cry suddenly rang out.

"Don't hurt my little brother! Even if I wanted him, I would not kill the chicken to get the eggs."

It was the normal sister's voice.

A gleam flashed through Lin Xiaotian's eyes.

"Hahaha, what strength do you have left to fight me? Once I obtain this brat's vigorous essence and blood, then absorb you as well, this body will completely be mine."

"Huh, what's this?"

A startled voice sounded. It was the seductive voice.

"You... you deliberately hid your strength."

"No." It was the normal sister's voice. "I merely did not fight you. Most of my strength was therefore preserved, while you kept using your methods, so your expenditure was naturally greater."

"Hahaha." The seductive voice laughed. "So what? You are still no match for me."

"That is why I let you do as you pleased. No matter what you wanted to do, I did not stop you. In any case, I could not stop you."

"Then why are you doing this now?"

The normal sister no longer spoke.

Suddenly, the space inside the room shook violently. The center seemed to cave in, and a blue oval vortex appeared.

The seductive sister's astonished voice abruptly rang out:

"You, you, you used a Teleportation Talisman... What are you trying to do? Without him, you do not even have the slightest chance of digesting me. Just wait to be digested by me. When the time comes, I will still return and drain your dear little brother dry."

The black mist around them had already vanished.

Everything before him was now clearly visible.

Lin Xiaotian saw the seductive sister suddenly leap toward the vortex.

There was no need to guess. The normal sister had forcibly controlled their body and sent it toward the teleportation vortex.

At the instant she entered the vortex, the normal sister's voice came through:

"The Secret-Treasure Array Pattern beneath your feet can be activated once you transcend Hidden Force. It can bring you to save Sister..."

Buzz!

The vortex scattered, sending out a ring of ripples that blew him several steps backward.

Sister's final meaning was that the Formation Inscription beneath his feet... huh, what was happening?

Lin Xiaotian's eyes widened.

The Formation Inscription was still shooting out faint light, carrying an intense bloody hue.

His entire body felt as though it had been pierced by a thousand needles and riddled with holes. Red Blood Qi was drilling through those holes toward the Formation Inscription.

What the hell! The seductive sister has already left, so why is something this strange still happening? Am I really going to die here?

The Formation Inscription grew redder and redder, as though washed by Blood Qi, becoming ever more concentrated.

Special as Blood Qi was, it was not omnipotent. It could let him retain a small measure of clarity amid muddleheadedness, allowing him to calmly weigh the pros and cons.

But when it came to being bled dry like this, it was powerless.

The Formation Inscription seemed to be reborn in a bath of blood and fire.

Lin Xiaotian felt himself growing listless from the blood loss. Even the flame of his life seemed veiled in darkness, sending his heart plunging into an icy abyss.

Suddenly, within his consciousness, the Formation Inscription emitted ten thousand rays of blood light that shot into the sky. Then, it eerily rose into the air and crashed toward his body.

Boom!

The impact left Lin Xiaotian dazed. In a fog, he sank into darkness, neither awake nor asleep.

Who knew how long passed before a ray of sunlight suddenly shone down.

Lin Xiaotian's eyes flew open, meeting that ray of sunlight.

It was truly blinding.

He turned his face slightly, and the objects in the room gradually came into focus.

Everything that had happened also returned to his mind in an instant.

"Sister... she's gone."

He sprang up and went beneath where the vortex had been.

The vortex that had hung in midair had long since disappeared.

He stared blankly for a moment, then shifted his gaze to where the Formation Inscription had been.

It was completely empty. There was nothing there.

Lin Xiaotian did not find it strange. There was nothing surprising about that.

The Formation Inscription had appeared only after being activated by his Blood Qi. Without Blood Qi, there was naturally nothing visible on the surface.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed as an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart.

Something was wrong! His Blood Qi seemed to have changed.

As if possessed, Lin Xiaotian took out the pill the martial arts hall had given him. He half-closed his eyes and silently willed Blood Qi into it.

A warm sensation of Blood Qi flowing came from his palm.

He clenched the pill tightly to prevent the Blood Qi from leaking away.

When he sensed that the pill had changed, he opened his eyes and withdrew the Blood Qi.

Opening his hand and looking, his eyes immediately went wide.

The pill had changed from a pale, bright yellow into a completely vivid yellow.
