"Pu!"
"Forfeit your head!"
The Otherworldly Demons were frenzied by their own weapons, and tears streamed down their cheeks.
We didn't intend to give you these weapons, so you are snatching them from us, alright?
A fair duel is a duel between us using our zhenqi … What the heck are you doing?
Fair your head!
You might as well summon your tamed beast and bite us to death. That way, we wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation!
"Y-you are courting death!"
Seeing the Otherworldly Demons falling one after another under Zhang Xuan's control, and in the blink of an eye, not even half of the thirty-odd Otherworldly Demons were left alive, the Ancient Sage known as Old Geezer Yu flew into a rage.
His original goal was to obtain a slot to enter the Hall of Great Accomplishment, but now that all of them were dead, what was the point of obtaining a slot?
Hong long!
A massive palm abruptly appeared, sealing the space in front of the Hall of Great Accomplishment in an instant. A crushing might that seemed to be able to crush Zhang Xuan into a lump of meat.
"Powerful!"
Zhang Xuan drove his zhenqi furiously in an attempt to escape, only to find that his entire body had been sealed in place, rendering him unable to move at all.
Ancient Sages were the strongest existences in the Master Teacher Continent. A single move from them was more than enough to destroy even the strongest space in the world.
Hula!
Just as Zhang Xuan was on the verge of being crushed and his body was about to explode, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared.
It seemed to have calculated the timing perfectly, as if it had located Old Geezer Yu's exact location. The sword qi did not resist the palm in the air, nor did it help Zhang Xuan alleviate the pressure he was under. Instead, it pierced toward a spot in the air.
Puhe!
The sound of sword qi piercing through flesh echoed in the air, and fresh blood splattered all over the place.
"You …"
Old Geezer Yu's piercing voice echoed in the air, and the palm in the air wavered for a moment before vanishing.
Hu hu!
The surrounding space rippled, and Old Geezer Yu, who was hiding in the air, knew that he would be doomed if he continued to stay there. Thus, he quickly vanished from sight.
"Hahaha, nice!"
The old ancestor of the Zhang clan laughed heartily.
It was already extremely difficult for an Ancient Sage to kill an Ancient Sage. The two of them had been fighting for many years, and it had always been difficult for them to claim the upper hand. Even though it was not fatal, it was enough for the other party to recuperate for a period of time.
He was only able to do this because this junior of his had thrown the other party's mind into chaos.
Lifting his gaze, Zhang Xuan saw the thirty Otherworldly Demons whom he had feared a moment ago lying lifelessly on the ground. Not a single one of them was spared.
A whole bunch of weapons were placed in Zhang Xuan's hands. They were jumping with joy, as if they were competing for favor.
"To possess such ability and wisdom at such a young age, not bad …"
Zhang Xuan praised Zhang Xuan. Following which, a surge of energy slowly gathered in the air. The few droplets of blood on the ground were swept up by the energy and stored in a jade bottle.
"You have killed so many Otherworldly Demons and given me the opportunity to severely injure Old Geezer Yu. As a senior, I can't possibly turn a blind eye to this matter. Here are five droplets of Ancient Sage blood. Take them! "
"Thank you, Senior!"
Zhang Xuan said respectfully as he received the jade bottle.
He had no idea what the blood of an Ancient Sage could be used for, but the fact that so many Otherworldly Demons were willing to sacrifice their lives for it meant that it was of great value.
"The blood of an Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage carries a strong killing intent, so it won't be of much use to your cultivation. Besides, this is only your spoils of war, not my reward. As a senior, I can't possibly be too stingy with it! There are five droplets of blood in this jade bottle, and they are mine. I'll give them to you now. Use them well so that you can reach higher realms as soon as possible and lead the Zhang clan to greater heights! "
Hula!
Right after those words were spoken, another jade bottle materialized before Zhang Xuan. Even before the jade bottle reached him, he could already feel his blood boiling, as if it was on the verge of combusting.
Even though the Zhang clan bloodline in his body had been stripped away, the blood of a human Ancient Sage was still contained within the jade bottle. To him, it was likely to be more useful than an Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage.
"Xuan-er, hurry up and thank the old ancestor!"
Heung Kensei sent a telepathic message in agitation.
"Thank you, old ancestor!"
Zhang Xuan bowed deeply.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. This is what you deserve! "
After saying those words, the voice and the aura of an Ancient Sage vanished as well, as if it had never been there in the first place.
Knowing that the old ancestor must have gone into hiding once more, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
There was more than one Ancient Sage who had come to the Temple of Confucius during the opening of the Temple of Confucius. To them, this was a fortuitous encounter of their own, so it would be best for them to hide as much as possible.
Otherwise, if they were to be discovered and ganged up on, they would not even know how they died.
"What is the use of the blood of an Ancient Sage?"
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan turned to his father, Heung Kensei, and sent a telepathic message to him.
"Every single droplet of the blood of an Ancient Sage harnesses immense power. Furthermore, it is infused with the comprehension of an Ancient Sage's cultivation. Assimilating a single droplet is more than enough to raise one's cultivation swiftly. Through assimilation, one's cultivation will be raised to an unimaginable level! "
Heung Kensei explained with glowing eyes.
"Assimilate?"
"That's right. If an ordinary cultivator were to come into contact with the blood of an Ancient Sage and assimilate it without exploding, they would be able to raise their cultivation from Fighter to Great Sage!"
Heung Kensei said.
"This …" Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
It had taken him a great deal of effort and resources to advance from Fighter to Great Sage, and yet, a single droplet of blood was able to achieve such a feat …
That was way too fearsome!
Of course, he also knew that it was just an analogy. Putting aside the fact that ordinary cultivators would not be able to withstand the power of the blood of an Ancient Sage, even if they were able to, their zhenqi would be severely depleted, thus reducing their fighting prowess.
"However, just the power and comprehension of cultivation isn't enough for most to desire. More importantly, this droplet of blood harnesses the power of an Ancient Sage's Blood Reincarnation. In the future, as long as one's soul doesn't dissipate on the spot, a single droplet of blood will allow one to recover completely. Even if one's head were to be severed, it would still be able to reattach it without losing one's life!"
Heung Kensei said.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan's body stiffened upon hearing those words.
The shock he was feeling was indescribable.
As powerful as he was at the moment, if his head were to be severed, he would still be doomed.
And with this blood, a single droplet was equivalent to a single life …
It was no wonder the blood of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was able to cause such a huge commotion!
"Father, Mother, I won't be able to use all five droplets.
Zhang Xuan uncorked the bottle and flicked his finger.
Two droplets of blood emanated a powerful aura as they flew toward the two Sword Saints.
Five drops of blood. To him, he really couldn't use them all. Since that was the case, he might as well give them to his parents so that they could protect themselves.
The Temple of Confucius was filled with unpredictable dangers. With this, he would be able to rest easy.
"This …"
Not expecting their son to give them something so valuable without any hesitation, the Xingmeng Sword Saints glanced at one another and clenched their fists tightly.
With such a son, what more could they ask for?
