Miao Yi grit his teeth and said, "Then think of a way to get her to open it."
Zhongli Kuai asked, "You suddenly couldn't sit still. Did you think of a way?"
Miao Yi said, "Didn't you say the blood pills are being refined in the bone towers guarded by the bloodcorpses? Go lure the bloodcorpses away. I'll go get the blood pills. I don't believe she won't react if I threaten her with the blood pills she uses for cultivation. "
Zhongli Kuai looked at him up and down as if he did not recognize him. "You have to think this through. There are more than a hundred blood corpses. I might not be able to lure them all away. Are you sure you can get the blood elixir?"
Miao Yi asked, "Haven't you always wanted to get rid of those bloodcorpses? Kill as many as you can. When you can't take it anymore, the bloodcorpses will naturally be lured away by you. "
"Are you afraid I won't die?!"
"What are you saying? This is your dream. It's something you've always wanted to do. Why are you saying that I'm the one harming you now?"
"Let's not talk about that!" Zhongli Kuai waved his hand. "You have to think this through. The moment I make a move, the Blood Demon Formation will immediately retaliate. I won't be able to take care of you with so many bloodcorpses. This is also why I've waited with you for over three hundred years. It's not because I'm afraid of death. If you try to get the blood pills, you'll be in trouble. You saw the power of the blood python's attack. With your Purple Lotus First Grade cultivation, you won't be able to take it. If your cultivation is at Purple Lotus Fifth Grade, you might be able to try. "
Little did he know that this was the reason Miao Yi wanted to take the risk. Before, he didn't dare to take the risk because it was obvious that he would die if he made a move. Now, however, he saw a glimmer of hope. Only when his cultivation was there would it be worth taking the risk.
He wanted to take the risk after his cultivation had broken through to the Golden Lotus realm. That way, he would have a higher chance of success. However, it seemed impossible at the moment.
Hence, Miao Yi clenched his fist and stuck out his thumb. He invoked his arts and rubbed the Soul Concealing Paste between his brows, revealing the Purple Lotus Ninth Grade.
Zhongli Kuai was shocked and pointed at him. "How can a Purple Lotus Ninth Grade breakthrough so quickly?"
"You'll find out later."
"Are you sure you want to take the blood pills? I'm not sure what kind of killing move this Blood Demon Array has. You might not be able to block it, and the blood corpses might not all come for me. Hundreds of blood corpses. I can't stop every single one of them. Have you thought about the consequences? "
"Of course I know the consequences. That's why I want you to lure all the blood corpses away. It won't take too long. The Blood Demon is most likely going to check what is happening inside the Blood Demon Array. Once the Blood Demon opens the blood gourd, you will immediately take the opportunity to kill your way out. "
"If I kill my way out, what will you do?"
"As soon as I get my Blood Pill, you can come over and put me in your beast sack. Once the Blood Demon opens the blood gourd, you can take me with you and kill our way out. Isn't that enough?"
Zhongli Kuai paused for a moment before he asked word by word, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you if I put you into the beast sack?"
It was important to know that once a person entered the beast sack, it was equivalent to handing over their life to the other party. They would not know anything about the outside world. It was too easy to kill the person in the beast sack. Normally, no one would take such a risk.
Miao Yi said, "I trust you."
Zhongli Kuai was silent for a moment. "There are three other possibilities. First, it's very likely that the Blood Demon won't open the blood gourd at all. He will let the Blood Demon Array and the blood corpses kill us. Second, even if he opens the blood gourd, we might not be able to escape. Third, even if we escape, once the Blood Demon releases these blood corpses and they come after us together, it will be difficult for me to deal with even one Blood Demon.
Miao Yi said, "I've thought about it countless times. The first possibility can be eliminated. We've been trapped inside for so many years and are still alive. If we make a move and alert her, she probably won't be able to confirm that the Blood Demon Array and the blood corpses can't kill us. As long as we get our hands on the Blood Pill, she will realize that the Blood Demon Array and the blood corpses can't stop us at all. Then, it's very likely that she will let us out. This way, the second possibility can also be eliminated. As long as we get our hands on the Blood Pill, we will most likely face the third possibility. "
"The third possibility …" Zhongli Kuai muttered, then sighed. "To be honest, I don't have much hope of escaping from the Blood Demon and the blood corpses. It's not that I'm afraid of death. Ever since I made up my mind to slay demons and devils, I've never cared about life and death. I'm only telling you this because I want you to understand that I'm afraid you will have to die with me. "
"Not necessarily!" Miao Yi waved his hand, and the Five-Fingered Mantis flew out. "Take these five mantises with you. Once the Blood Demon opens the blood gourd and lets us out, you must release these five mantises when we pass through the mouth of the gourd. Have them climb onto the body of the blood gourd at the mouth of the gourd. Remember, you must make them land on the body of the blood gourd. They will think of a way to break the blood gourd for us! "
"They can break the blood gourd? How? "Zhongli Kuai asked in surprise.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'll tell you when the opportunity arises. You just have to place them in place and don't worry about anything else. Once we get out, your priority is to escape with me. Even if we can't escape, you have to think of a way to buy time for these five mantises." At this point, Miao Yi chuckled and continued, "At the critical moment, as long as the blood gourd is broken, what do you think will happen? This is the artifact that the Blood Demon relies on to cultivate … When she sees that you're the only one escaping, she will probably think that I'm the one who destroyed her transcendent artifact. I'm afraid that killing you will be her second priority, and the one she wants to kill first will be me. You can use this opportunity to escape quickly. "
Zhongli Kuai was skeptical. "Can these mantises of yours withstand the Blood Demon's attack?"
Miao Yi lowered his eyes and sighed softly. "If I die, how good can they be? When the time comes, the Blood Demon might not let them go. At this point, there has to be a sacrifice. As long as I can escape with my life, it won't be too late to settle the score with the Blood Demon later."
"Alright! If that's the case, then let's give it a try. "Zhongli Kuai nodded.
The two of them continued to discuss the details through voice transmissions. After they were done, Miao Yi jumped into the blood sea and took out the last hundred Little Greenskins he had on him. He devoured fifty of them, then quickly invoked his arts to remove the cores of the remaining fifty. He then placed all the pulp into a pot and invoked his arts to grind the pulp into a paste. Only then did he emerge from the blood sea.
"Drink this." Miao Yi brought the pot to Zhongli Kuai.
"What is it?" Zhongli Kuai held the pot, his face full of suspicion.
"Didn't you want to know how my cultivation improved so quickly? You'll understand once you drink it. "Miao Yi extended his hand again." You're not afraid that I'll harm you, are you? "
"You're a little mysterious, kid. I'm actually a little worried." Although Zhongli Kuai said that, he still placed his nose on the mouth of the pot and took a sniff. A dense spiritual energy assailed his nostrils, startling him. He then placed his mouth on the mouth of the pot and invoked his arts to suck it in.
Just one sip, and Zhongli Kuai's face immediately scrunched up. He almost spat out the thing in his mouth. If it weren't for the fact that he could taste the extraordinary spiritual energy contained within, he would've spat it out. After forcefully swallowing it down, he rubbed his tongue against his mouth and muttered, "What the hell is this? Why does it taste so bad?"
Miao Yi said, "Others can't drink it even if they want to. I only have this little bit left, so I took it all out for you to drink. I have no choice but to let you drink it. My life is in your hands later. If you run out of transcendence energy after a fierce battle, then you'll be in big trouble. Hurry up and drink it. Even if it tastes bad, you still have to drink it. Drink it all up. "
As soon as the thing entered his stomach, the steaming spiritual energy was indeed good stuff. Moreover, Miao Yi's words made sense. Zhongli Kuai could only scrunch up his face and invoke his arts to suck it dry in one breath. He then casually tossed the pot back to Miao Yi and covered his mouth. "What the hell is this? The spiritual energy has even condensed into a paste."
Miao Yi kept the pot and teased, "You've never tasted it before?"
Zhongli Kuai waved his hand and said, "I've never tasted it before. If I did, I definitely wouldn't forget it. However, it is indeed good stuff for cultivation. No wonder your cultivation improved so quickly." As he said this, he took out another pot of wine and took a few gulps to rinse his mouth. The numbing taste in his mouth was truly unbearable.
Little did he know that Miao Yi had suffered much more from this thing than he had. He had only eaten a few, while Miao Yi had tasted hundreds of thousands of them.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi took out two more immortal herbs. He first stuffed one into his mouth and forced it down, then handed the other to Zhongli Kuai and said, "Eat all of them."
Zhongli Kuai was shocked. "You're eating this treasure like it's a dish? That's too wasteful! "
Miao Yi said in annoyance, "Do you think I'm willing? I should be prepared to be beaten half to death first. It'll be too late to treat my wounds after I'm injured. Eating it first will increase my chances of survival. Hurry up and eat it!"
Zhongli Kuai thought about it and nodded. "You're quite thoughtful." He then stuffed the immortal herb into his mouth and forced it down.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi took out three sets of golden armor and handed them to Zhongli Kuai. "Hurry up and put them on. It's better than nothing. Even if it can't save your life, it can still help you withstand the brunt of three heavy blows. You can just treat it as a disposable item. If you can withstand three heavy blows, your chances of survival will be much higher. Coupled with the armor you're wearing, it'll definitely be a hundred times better than not wearing it. "
Zhongli Kuai took the armor and was speechless. "You're trying to arm me into a turtle that can withstand a beating!"
Miao Yi also took out a set of armor and put it on. "Who cares what kind of turtle it is. As long as it can survive with a thick shell, then it's a good turtle."
Zhongli Kuai looked at the three sets in his hands, then at the ones Miao Yi was wearing. "Who had the guts to pawn so many armors to you? Aren't they afraid the Celestial Court will punish them? Even if you make it back alive, how are you going to explain yourself if you can't return them? "
"Who cares about that now? If I lose my life, I won't be able to explain myself. Big Beard, hurry up and put them on. Staying alive is more important. What's the point of thinking so much now? "
Since Miao Yi didn't mind, Zhongli Kuai wouldn't either. An extra set of Fourth Grade Armor Artifacts could indeed help him withstand a heavy blow. The defensive capabilities of the standard armor refined by the Celestial Court were quite decent. Coupled with the defensive capabilities of his own cultivation, it would definitely be much better than not wearing it. Thus, he quickly put it on.
Miao Yi then tossed three halberds to Zhongli Kuai and said, "Just in case you lose these weapons, you'll have something to use as a backup."
Zhongli Kuai didn't hesitate to keep them.
