Chapter 52: Seed of Life
Molei was somewhat stunned, but she quickly sensed something was wrong, as all the blood droplets around her had gone out of control, shifting from crimson to pitch black.
Molei leaped a few steps to near the Blood God and took out a seventh-rank prop, one she had treasured for a long time.
Pop~
A bubble burst near the Ancient God. The moment it exploded, Molei was sent flying, soaring far into the distance. Even with Su Xiao's keen eyesight, he couldn't see how far the Ancient God had blasted her. Molei's body was surprisingly resilient.
All the blood droplets floating in midair dissipated, and the Blood-Draining Demon suspended behind the Blood God showed signs of dissolving.
The scroll Molei had used was likely meant to dispel the enemy's abilities, but unfortunately, the rank of the Blood Spear: Blood-Draining Demon was too high, and the dispel failed.
The current situation was more favorable for Su Xiao. The Blood God had lost his Corrosive Blood and was now very close to him.
Su Xiao dashed toward the Blood God, but after just two steps, he leaped backward with all his might.
Boom~
A tide of blood mist expanded, shattering every building within a five-kilometer radius into fragments. Within the mist, Su Xiao raised one hand in front of him as a crystal layer emerged.
When everything settled, all structures within five kilometers were reduced to rubble scattered across the ground. A massive amount of blood surged in from the surroundings—this was the Blood God's purpose for coming to "Sodo City": enough living beings here.
Most of the blood transformed into Corrosive Blood, an overwhelming quantity, while a small portion, exceptionally vivid red, seeped into the exoskeleton on the Blood God's body. The exoskeleton rapidly absorbed it, restoring a large chunk of the Blood God's health.
'Blade Path Sword: Nether Abyss.'
Three elongated slashes appeared, dispersing all the Corrosive Blood in front of Su Xiao. At the same time, several humanoid figures formed from the Corrosive Blood on his flank, each holding a bow constructed from the same substance.
Six black arrows shot toward Su Xiao. He dodged desperately, but two still pierced his side and lower abdomen, staining his clothes with blood.
'Blade Path Sword: Blood Blade.'
Crimson feathers appeared around Su Xiao as he tore through a flash of blood light, moving at an extreme speed to appear behind the Blood God. A slash mark appeared on the Blood God's chest, sending fragments of shattered exoskeleton flying.
At this point, two slash marks already marred the Blood God's chest. The first was from the beginning of the battle, delivered by Su Xiao's 'Blade Path Sword: Flow.'
Just as Su Xiao executed Blood Blade and appeared behind the Blood God, with a *pfft*, the 'Blood-Draining Demon' pierced through Su Xiao's chest.
The Cyan Steel Shadow Energy on his hand surged as he grabbed the Blood-Draining Demon. The compressed energy immediately shattered it, causing it to dissolve into residue that quickly evaporated in the air.
'Blood Resonance.'
The Blood God's Blood Resonance ability expanded. Su Xiao vanished from behind the Blood God and reappeared in front of him, immediately canceling his Spatial Penetration state.
With a *boom*, Su Xiao flew backward. He could have dodged this Blood Resonance but chose to endure it.
While airborne, Su Xiao glanced at his health—26% remaining, dangerously low. He leveled his long blade.
'Blade Path Sword: Flow.'
A graceful wind scar swept through, creating a third slash on the Blood God's chest. The three slashes intersected, with one point overlapping.
The reason Su Xiao had chosen to endure Blood Resonance was to gain distance from the Blood God while delivering 'Flow,' using the enemy's ability traits to his advantage—a necessary consideration in battle.
Su Xiao landed in a half-crouch. Not yet—he couldn't "die" now. He was too far from the Blood God, who likely had a resurrection-type ability. He couldn't use that combo until the safest moment. The enemy was hiding at least three abilities, waiting for the decisive strike.
'Blade Path Sword: Slay.'
With a *whoosh*, a blood-red chain of light swept through, dispersing all the Corrosive Blood within a dozen meters ahead. Su Xiao charged at maximum speed, closing in on the Blood God.
