Chapter 91: Too Shattered

Chapter 91: Too Shattered

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun chased after Liu Suifeng and the Lord of Bloodsea, running all the way to a cave deep within Profound Theory Valley.

The cave had a door, which was now wide open.

Above the entrance were three large characters: Xuanji Cave!

Upon landing, the Lord of Bloodsea glanced around and his expression changed dramatically as he rushed into Xuanji Cave.

Liu Suifeng followed closely behind, frowning slightly at the few corpses on the ground.

"Are these the guards of Xuanji Cave?"

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun arrived just then. The corpses on the ground were in a gruesome state—some decapitated, others cut in half.

"I've known True Master Cangming for over a decade, but I've never been here."

Liu Suifeng glanced at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun. "Something has happened here. Be cautious."

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly, and Liu Suifeng led the way into Xuanji Cave, with Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun following closely.

Inside, they found the cave littered with bodies.

Clearly, someone had taken advantage of their battle at Profound Theory Cottage to break into Xuanji Cave.

Not only had they killed along the way, but they had also destroyed the cave's intricate mechanisms.

Initially, the trio moved cautiously, but soon they began sprinting deeper into the cave.

The path inside the cave was rugged, leading them to a stone door at the end.

The stone door seemed to have another mechanism for opening, but given the situation in Xuanji Cave, they couldn't afford to search slowly.

Su Mo stepped forward, spreading his hands, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art activated, producing a resonant sound. He punched out forcefully, aiming to shatter the stone door.

Unexpectedly, the stone door opened by itself.

A figure emerged from within.

Caught off guard, the figure showed no hesitation, thrusting both palms forward, which glowed blood red!

This technique was different from the Blood Transformation, Blood Incineration, and Blood Condensation techniques.

The latter three involved blood-colored true qi swirling around, without any significant change to the body itself.

However, this person's palms were blood-red from within, almost as if made entirely of fresh blood.

Liu Suifeng's face changed. "Fount of Darkness Blood Hand! Be careful, don't block it directly!"

The Fount of Darkness Blood Hand comes from the Fount of Darkness Sutra, and the one using it is the Lord of Bloodsea.

With the proficiency in the Bloodsea Supplemental Scripture, one can barely execute two advanced techniques.

One is the Fount of Darkness Palm, similar to Liu Suifeng's Heavenly Rainbow Heart-Piercing Sword Qi.

The sword qi penetrates the body and lingers for a long time.

The Ghost King of Yin Mountain suffered for ten years due to this.

The Fount of Darkness Palm works similarly, with the Fount of Darkness true qi invading the body and remaining for a long time.

Liu Suifeng was captured because of this and later freed by Su Mo, who expelled the three layers of inner strength along with the blood slave control method.

The Fount of Darkness Blood Hand, however, is different.

This technique is the ultimate form of Blood Transformation Divine Art, capable of corroding the blood within moments of contact.

At that moment, even if Su Mo could control his movements perfectly, retreating would still result in being hit by the Fount of Darkness Blood Hand.

He decided to push forward, channeling the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to its fullest.

His fists collided with the Fount of Darkness Blood Hand.

Boom!!!

Blood surged, and the forceful wind rolled.

Even Liu Suifeng was forced back several feet by the impact, and despite his retreat, he saw the blood color on the Fount of Darkness Blood Hand reverse and surge upward.

The Lord of Bloodsea experienced an even deeper sensation.

He felt an overwhelming, relentless force surging in, causing his Fount of Darkness true qi to reverse and flow back.

The force was like a raging tide, crushing and tearing his meridians and bones, sending him flying back into the stone chamber.

A loud thud echoed as he embedded himself into the stone wall.

The cave wall indented nearly a foot, with cracks radiating outward from his body.

The Lord of Bloodsea's entire skeleton shattered, leaving him unable to move a single finger, let alone get down.

"... This... This... Impossible..."

Embedded in the stone wall, he tried to speak, but his words came out disjointed.

Among these details, Liu Suifeng, with his keen eyesight, could see a part of it, while the leader of the Blood Sea Sect could sense the changes within his body.

Yang Xiaoyun was protected behind Su Mo and only saw him attempting to break through the door. When the door opened, a person flew out.

Then there was a bang, and that person was gone.

Su Mo maintained his punching stance, standing there. Yang Xiaoyun's heart tightened as she hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

"Fine, fine."

Su Mo waved his hand, "A person suddenly popped out when I opened the door, giving me quite a fright. That door-opening kill was pretty slick."

Liu Suifeng's lips twitched, realizing he had indeed underestimated this younger generation.

If he had known how profound his skills were, why would he have fought the leader of the Blood Sea Sect with his injured body?

If you had this ability, you should have been sent in directly!

But he was a senior in the martial world, after all, also known as Yuliu Jianxin, so he couldn't say such things.

He then saw Su Mo raise an eyebrow, his lips twitching: "Sure enough, it's you. How come you're everywhere?"

In the stone room, at this moment, apart from the leader of the Blood Sea Sect embedded in the wall, there was another person.

This person was tall and slender, holding a sword in one hand, seemingly poised to chase.

However, this posture was frozen at the moment just before the chase began.

His long sword was dragged diagonally; the sword was very long... seven feet long!

The Qilin Swordsman.

He looked at Su Mo, then at the leader of the Blood Sea Sect embedded in the wall, and shook his head lightly:

"Your martial arts are still so unreasonable."

As the Qilin Swordsman spoke, he casually flicked his wrist, throwing the long sword up. As it fell, there was a clattering sound... the seven-foot-long sword sheathed itself, taking slightly longer than a regular sword.

He turned around, seemingly not caring about Su Mo and Liu Suifeng, and approached the leader of the Blood Sea Sect, rummaging through the body while muttering:

"This is too shattered. She spent half the night cleaning up the corpse from that night. This one is a bit better, but the insides are all mush.

"What did you eat to grow so strong?"

Hearing his incessant muttering, Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo in surprise:

"Do you know him?"

"Not really."

Su Mo's expression was odd. Earlier in Xuanji Cottage, he had seen a silhouette that seemed similar to this Qilin Swordsman.

But he didn't expect it to actually be him.

Even more unexpectedly, he was here in Xuanji Cave.

Liu Suifeng's gaze swept over the stone table in front of the man. On the table were a fire basin, a water basin, ice, and some bottles and jars, their purposes unknown.

Suddenly, the Qilin Swordsman laughed, "Found it! And there's even an unexpected surprise."

As he spoke, he pulled two items from the leader of the Blood Sea Sect.

One was a small, square box.

The other was a scroll.

"Hmm? This scroll looks familiar..."

Liu Suifeng's face changed slightly as he looked at the Qilin Swordsman: "It seems to be something from Jade Willow Villa."
