Chapter 665: Fish Crossing the River (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
The fake Blood King who called himself Shi Shen rushed up with a hammer the size of a pumpkin.
This time, the blood person’s strength was clearly higher than before.
The power displayed by brandishing the hammer was comparable to an ordinary Earth Immortal expert.
However, the difference was that his body was far inferior to the Earth Immortal Body.
After Jiang Li broke through the other party’s 33 hammer shadows, he slashed down with his halberd and pierced the guy into a pool of blood.
As a cultivator of the Nine Nether Dao Scripture, it was impossible for Jiang Li to not notice this.
Then, in less than a breath of time, the other party appeared from behind Jiang Li again. This time, the weapon in his hand was a long saber.
He spoke, “Your current opponent is the Blood King’s personal guard, Nie Fei!”
Then, he slashed at Jiang Li’s back.
However, this slash was unexpectedly weak and did not cause any effect. Even the robe on Jiang Li that came from the Nüchou Demon King could not be cut through.
Then, it was shattered by Jiang Li’s sweep.
As this continued, Jiang Li began to be extremely shocked.
Although this fake Blood King did not have a powerful physique, it could be revived repeatedly as if it could not be killed. It was even more troublesome.
In the beginning, Jiang Li naturally did not believe it. He brandished his halberd and continuously killed his opponent.
The other party’s strength seemed to be fluctuating. The weapons he used and the way he fought were also ever-changing.
The Human Emperor’s successor used various other methods to kill the other party more than a hundred times, but every time, this guy would revive beside him as if nothing had happened, as if there was no limit.
If this continued without an end, even Jiang Li, a perpetual motion machine, would be traumatized.
“Human Emperor’s successor, how are you?”
“This guy! He’s indeed not the Blood King.”
“Which demon dares to act fierce in front of us!”
At this moment, the other twelve high-grade Divine Judgment forces also surrounded him.
They did not abandon Jiang Li and continue on their way.
Including Jiang Li, all of them were like Super Saiyans. They used their spiritual qi to blow away the blood flow and surrounded the fake Blood King.
They could still maintain the release of spiritual qi for a long time as Earth Immortals.
However, the reduction in speed was unavoidable.
“Demon, tell me the truth!”
The dean of Ink Scar Academy shouted sternly. He waved the Earth-rank brush in his hand and used the ink word divine art at more than ten times the usual expenditure.
The word “Honesty” dissipated as it slowly flew to the top of the blood person’s head.
Before the ink dissipated, he hurriedly asked, “Demon! Who are you?”
The fake Blood King looked at the ink word above his head and did not resist. Instead, he kept announcing the name like he was reporting the name of dishes in a restaurant.
“My name is Zhao Erniu. I’m from Chongzhou.”
“My name is Bao Wenguang. I’m from the Demon Continent.”
“My name is Feng Yangyun. I’m from the Blood King’s personal guard. I live in the City of Ten Thousand Poems.”
“My name is Lu Song, a personal guard of the Blood King. I was born in the Seven Mile Golden Field!”
After being labeled as “Honesty”, theoretically speaking, the other party should not be able to lie.
Even if an expert could fabricate nonsense with the ink word active, after lying, the word “Honesty” above his head should automatically dissipate.
However, from the looks of it, the other party was clearly telling the truth.
Fortunately, besides Jiang Li, the other twelve were all experienced and knowledgeable old fellows. Some secret knowledge was not difficult for them.
“Mystic Gate Divine Art, Fish Crossing the River!”
“Hehe, I gave this divine art to the Blood King back in the day. I didn’t expect that someone would really be able to master it!”
An old man with a long beard among the twelve high-grade Divine Judgment forces revealed the other party’s background with a strange glint in his eyes.
The so-called “Fish Crossing the River” was to use cultivators as the river and accommodate others.
There were countless fish in the river. When all techniques fell into the river, only fish died.
This was what it meant by making others die instead of oneself!
In theory, as long as there were enough fish in the river, the cultivator was practically immortal!
“You shouted their names. It should be the last memorial for those dead warriors!”
“What about your own name?”
“All moves and weapons can lie, but eyes can’t.”
“From the beginning to the end, your gaze did not change at all. You were the only one controlling this body.”
“You don’t want to leave your name before you die?”
The ink on the fake Blood King’s head had already dissipated. The thirteen experts were preparing other methods, including divine arts and techniques.
They did not believe that with their combined strength, they could not break through this Fish Crossing the River!
“So it’s the Grand Tutor. I apologize for my disrespect.”
“I don’t have a name, and only people without names can cultivate such a divine art.”
“If I have to say it, I’ll call myself Shadow.”
The Shadow Blood King did not panic at all after being exposed. Clearly, it was not easy to restrain such a divine art.
The other party was completely confident that he could drag them here until the true Blood King succeeded.
“It’s said that there’s an identical shadow beside the Blood King.”
“You blocked a hundred and seven fatal threats for the King! That must be you!”
No wonder he looked so similar to the Blood King and his imitation was so realistic.
It turned out that five thousand years ago, this shadow was the Blood King’s substitute.
Because he had used the Fish Crossing the River technique to block many assassinations on the Blood King, the latter became the last among the Nine Kings to survive.
Unfortunately, he could not dodge the saber from the Grand Tutor.
“According to my observations, there are at least a hundred thousand souls hidden in this body. If we used normal methods, we would have to kill him a hundred thousand times!”
“That’s a waste of time. Since we can’t kill them, we’ll seal him first!”
The few of them naturally thought of this.
They all used their methods to land on the shadow in the middle.
Then, a huge “seal” appeared above the Shadow Blood King.
As soon as the word was formed, a terrifying suction force immediately erupted.
It drew everything from the Shadow Blood King into the word.
Jiang Li and the others assisted from the side to prevent anything from escaping from the Shadow Blood King.
The Shadow Blood King quickly turned into a blood ball that was tightly attached to the ink word.
Then, black ink dyed the entire blood ball.
In the end, it turned into a small black ball and fell to the ground.
They could confirm that nothing had run out of the small ball just now.
However, it was obvious that the Shadow Blood King’s confidence could not be resolved with a simple seal.
A blood-colored palm picked up the pearl. After sizing it up with interest, he casually threw it away.
“Your current opponent is the Blood King’s personal guard, Wen Xun!”
What appeared in front of everyone again was the Shadow Blood King.
On this pillar filled with blood, everyone’s climb was extremely difficult.
If they were interrupted by this guy tirelessly, it would be really difficult to advance!
“You guys pass through first. I’ll stop him here.”
Just as everyone was in a dilemma, the masked successor of the Human Emperor spoke and took the initiative to take down this difficult enemy.
“However, Senior Kongchan, can I take a look at the Fish Crossing the River?”
“If I can understand that divine art, I might be more confident in dealing with it.”
Jiang Li had never had the habit of working for free.
Since he had to contribute, he naturally had to obtain some benefits.
Even he had an extremely limited number of divine arts. It was good to have one more. It might be of great use in the future.
Daoist Kongchan was the former tutor of the Blood King who had lived for more than five thousand years. He was an old monster with unfathomable strength who had lived from the previous era.
Daoist Kongchan looked at the Shadow Blood King and pondered for a moment before finally taking out a black jade and handing it to Jiang Li.
