Chapter 274 Blood Amplification Scimitar, Void Stone

“This…”

Zhang He looked at Xu Ning with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xu Ning’s previous performance had completely convinced Zhang He.

“We can spare his life for now.”

Xu Ning said. If they could learn of Chu He’s weakness, then Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua would be temporarily out of danger.

And with them being bound by the Binding Lock, they were facing a life-and-death crisis. Xu Ning first injected the power of the dao realm into Lie Ying’s body to control him.

Lie Ying did not resist at all.

Afterwards, Zhang He communicated through the spatial treasure and asked Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan to come out. “Everything is settled?”

After Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan came out of the spatial treasure, they saw that the gray-robed Lie Ying had been controlled by Xu

Ning.

Both of them looked relieved as though they had just been through the gates of hell and back.

“The other pursuers have all been killed, leaving only this person who is willing to submit to us.”

Zhang He said, “Xu Ning crushed this group of people with his overwhelming power.”

“Crushed them with his overwhelming power?”

Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan looked at Xu Ning at the same time.

“Brother Zhang exaggerated a little.”

Xu Ning explained casually.

A smile appeared on Duan Chaofeng’s face. Mo Lan’s eyes also roamed around Xu Ning’s body, her thoughts unknown. “Tell me, who are you?”

Xu Ning asked Lie Ying. “We are from the Hidden Sect.”

Lie Ying responded truthfully.

“Hidden Sect?”

Xu Ning frowned. He had never heard of this sect before.

At least in State Wansheng, there was no such sect.

‘Is it really a foreign sect…’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

“Hidden Sect?”

On the contrary, Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and Mo Lan looked surprised.

“To actually be from the Hidden Sect.”

Zhang He explained to Xu Ning, “This Hidden Sect is a foreign sect that has recently been rising to power. This sect has a mysterious background. There are often sect members who would sneak into State Wansheng to plunder resources or make some arrangements that we don’t understand.”

“But overall, this foreign sect is not a positive character. It has had many disputes with the Imperial Court. Additionally, the current Hidden Sect is in the extermination catalog of the Imperial Court, meaning that if you catch anyone from the Hidden Sect and send them to the Imperial Court, you will be rewarded.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning understood and nodded.

“What is the structure of your Hidden Sect, how does it work, and why are you here?”

Zhang He was full of questions.

Lie Ying was about to answer, but was interrupted by Xu Ning. “Don’t be in a hurry to answer these questions. Tell us first, how should we deal with Chu He?”

“Yes, say that first!”

Zhang He slapped his forehead. Only then did he realize that Dong Ji was still in a difficult situation.

Lie Ying quickly replied, “Chu He has two very powerful secret treasures, one of which can hide his aura. As long as he doesn’t expose himself, even an existence one realm higher than him can’t detect him.”

“However, this treasure is mainly a support type. It doesn’t have much practical use in combat.”

“But Chu He’s other secret treasure is called the Blood Amplification Scimitar. This secret treasure is very strange. It was given to Chu He by the higher-ups of the Hidden Sect.” “When this Blood Amplification Scimitar is used in battle, it will become one with the user. During the battle, it will constantly absorb the flesh and blood power of the user, filling the body of the Blood Amplification Scimitar.”

“As a result, the user will become a provider of the Blood Amplification Scimitar. And with the help of the Blood Amplification Scimitar, the user can explode with powerful strength.”

In order to save his life, Lie Ying told them everything he knew. “Although this Chu He is in the seventh stage of the dao realm, his strength is not at the top. However, with the existence of this Blood Amplification Scimitar, he can also fight against a peak dao realm seventh stage master.” “However, this Blood Amplification Scimitar has a flaw.”

“When I said just now that the Blood Amplification Scimitar will become one with the user, it is not an exaggeration. It is because when the user holds the Blood Amplification Scimitar, blood vessels would connect the handle of the scimitar to the hand of the user.” “As long as the blood vessels between the knife and palm are severed during the battle, then if he wants to awaken its power again, the scimitar will have to absorb a new dao realm power. And at that time, the flesh and blood of the user will be in a deficient state. Not only will he be unable to continue to support the use of the Blood Amplification Scimitar, but his strength will also weaken.’

“With such circumstances, we can take advantage of his weakened state and attack him.”

After Lie Ying finished his explanation, Xu Ning broadened his horizons.

“There is actually such a treasure?”

This was the first time Zhang He and Duan Chaofeng had heard of this as well.

Mo Lan pondered for a moment and said, “This secret treasure is not unique. Among the people captured by the Imperial Court, there are also some who have similar secret treasures.”

“I heard these from the Empress herself”

Mo Lan explained as the three of them looked at her with a peculiar gaze.

Xu Ning knew that Mo Lan had a good relationship with the current Empress.

“In other words, if we return now and find a way to cut off the connection between the Blood Amplification Scimitar and Chu He, then Senior Dong and the others can fight back and gain the upper hand.” Zhang He said. “However, how can we make him let go of the Blood Amplification Scimitar?”

Duan Chaofeng’s eyebrows tightened.

He respected Dong Ji very much, so he was really worried about Dong Ji’s safety.

“Sneak attack. We cut off his palm when he let his guard down.”

Mo Lan suggested.

Duan Chaofeng glanced at Mo Lan with a displeased look.

“Sneaking an attack on a dao realm seventh stage? How is that possible?” “It is possible with this!”

With that said, a pure white stone appeared in Mo Lan’s hand. “Void stone!” Duan Chaofeng looked surprised. ‘A void stone?’

The moment Mo Lan took out the pure white stone, Xu Ning felt a sense of familiarity.

The aura flowing on its surface was extremely similar to Gray’s void power.

This was not the first time Xu Ning had seen a void stone.

When he was still in the Abyss North, when dealing with the outsiders from the Jade Night Sect, someone had used void teleportation in front of him.

However, that kind of void teleportation did not use true void stones, but void grit.

Moreover, the void grit itself had a huge flaw.

If there was any dao realm power activated nearby or other power that could interfere with the use of the void grit, then the void teleportation effect could not be used.

But a true void stone was different. With it, regardless of whether there was any interference, one could directly travel through the void.

This kind of ability would also be mastered when Gray advanced to the peak of the dao realm.

Because of this, void stones were extremely precious assassination and life-saving treasures, and they were extremely rare. Even Duan Chaofeng did not have a void stone.

But at this moment, Mo Lan took out this life-saving treasure.

Even though she was trying to rescue Xue Jinghua, her behavior was quite generous.

“With the help of this void stone, you can instantly cut into the battlefield and sever his wrist.”

Mo Lan said.

“How is it? Can you do it?”

Duan Zhaofeng looked at Xu Ning and Zhang Не. “Sure.”

Xu Ning responded.

Xu Ning was absolutely confident that he could attack the instant he teleported.

Chu He would definitely be unable to react at all.

As long as he could cut off his wrist, his strength would decline, and he would not be able to counterattack in time.

“Okay, in this case, let’s go!”

Duan Chaofeng said.

Afterwards, Mo Lan handed the void stone to Xu Ning.

At this moment.

The dao weapon ship that they were on had been destroyed by the battle.

Thus, Chu He, Dong Ji, and Xue Jinghua were fighting in the sky. ‘The secret treasure in the gray-robed man’s hand is really strange!’

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were struggling to resist. They were on the verge of being defeated and killed at any time.

Due to the Binding Lock, their strength was less than half of their peak state.

‘His scimitar secret treasure seems to have a life of its own. There is also a consciousness in it, which is extremely powerful.’

Dong Ji discovered that Chu He was like a slave to the blood-red scimitar.

The power of the blood-red scimitar was what they really couldn’t resist.

“As expected of the masters of the king mansions!”

Chu He’s face was pale, but his tone was arrogant. “Even though you are restricted by the Binding Lock, it is rare for you to be able to persist until now. When I defeat the both of you later, I will definitely send you off peacefully!”

With that said, Chu He stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth with his other hand that was not connected to the scimitar. The medicinal pills caused his expression to look better.

“Am I really going to die here?’

A look of despair appeared on Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua’s faces.

Now that they were in the Endless Sea, they were alone and helpless. There was no chance of survival at all.

‘I wonder if His Highness has escaped the pursuit…’

Dong Ji was still thinking about Duan Chaofeng at this moment.

Xue Jinghua was also worried about Mo Lan’s safety.

However, they suddenly heard a cry from a bird.

Duan Chaofeng and the others, who were originally being chased, returned on a rainbow-colored bird. On it were Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and Mo Lan, but Xu Ning was nowhere to be seen.

“Your Highness!”

“Your Highness!”

“Why are you back?”

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were anxious.

Aren’t they coming back just to die?

Chu He laughed. “They probably had no way to escape after being caught by my people, so they can only return and ask for help! This is good, I alone can take care of all of you!”

Chu He was extremely excited, and his desire to fight increased.

Faced with Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, he attacked even more frantically.

This completely overwhelmed Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

However, at this moment.

A spatial crack suddenly appeared on Chu He’s side. Xu Ning’s figure flashed out of the spatial crack.

Swoosh!

Xu Ning activated the will of the cyan wolf in the Cyan Wolf Knife and poured his dao realm power into it.

He slashed down!

And before Chu He could react, the hand holding the Blood Amplification Scimitar was cut off.
