Yet this was only the beginning. Hun Tiandi struck again, lightly pointing a slender finger at Gu Yuan. Heaven and earth rippled, and an endless bloody aura rapidly gathered at his fingertip, finally becoming a streak of blood-red light that shot straight toward Gu Yuan.
Seeing Hun Tiandi attack, Gu Yuan's heart jolted, and the Dou Qi within him immediately surged into motion. But just as he was about to summon the energy of heaven and earth to bolster his defenses, he discovered to his horror that he had lost his connection to it!
