Dodging, the dark red liquid fell to the ground and quickly corroded a hole the size of a washbasin like a strong acid. Wisps of light red acidic gas came out, making one's scalp tingle.
"Now!"
Thinking to himself, Chen Zong's body floated over the wall and landed near the Blood Sinking Jade. His hands moved simultaneously, grabbing two pieces of Blood Sinking Jade and throwing them at two martial artists. He then quickly grabbed two more pieces and threw them at the other two martial artists. Then, his hands alternated between grabbing pieces of Blood Sinking Jade and stuffing them into his clothes.
"Stop."
"Damned thing."
"You're dead."
The four martial artists all caught the Blood Sinking Jade and looked at it. Their expressions changed drastically as they roared in anger. Xue Li first charged at the four of them, but then he felt something and immediately turned to Chen Zong and let out a sharp roar that could pierce metal and split stone. It caused Chen Zong's expression to change drastically.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Zong caught a glimpse of a strange scarlet color that was as beautiful as a gemstone. Without time to look, he grasped it tightly in his right hand and leaped with the iron sword in his left hand. After jumping over the wall, he immediately used the Wind Stepping Steps.
The Wind Stepping Steps of the Refinement Realm covered six meters in one step. In the blink of an eye, it was five steps. Finally, he leaped and floated forward another six meters.
In just two short breaths, he had crossed thirty-six meters.
"Chase!"
The four martial artists were so angry that they almost vomited blood. They had slowly surrounded Xue Li and injured him in the end. Their own side had also been injured, but just as they were about to kill Xue Li and reap the rewards, they had been taken advantage of.
Xue Li charged at the front and clawed fiercely. The bloody glow of his claw flashed, and the broken wall was instantly torn apart.
Xue Li's speed was extremely fast, like a red whirlwind. The four martial artists swallowed Beast Blood Pills to recover their Blood Force and took the remaining Blood Sinking Jade with them. Then, they used their movement techniques to give chase.
Chen Zong continuously used the Wind Stepping Steps. His cultivation was inferior to Xue Li and the other four martial artists, so he could only do so.
The Refinement realm's Wind Treading Steps consumed less Vitality, especially after his cultivation base reached the seventh stage of the Qi and Blood realm. He could perform it more than ten times in a row, and even twelve times would not be a problem. However, Chen Zong had to allocate his Vitality wisely and strive for more.
His right hand was holding a small object, which should also be a Blood Immersion Jade. However, Chen Zong felt a trace of warmth continuously entering his palm, flowing along his arm and merging into his Qi and blood. It quickly spread throughout his body, and the Qi and blood he had consumed was recovering at an astonishing speed.
The Wind Stepping Steps of the Refinement Realm was extremely fast. After using it ten times in a row, Chen Zong had left Xue Li and the other four martial practitioners in the dust.
"What's going on?" Chen Zong was very surprised.
Under normal circumstances, after using Wind Treading Steps ten times in a row, he should not have much blood and Qi left in his body. However, he still had half of it left, and it was still recovering rapidly.
Chen Zong raised his right hand and glanced at it. He was instantly stunned.
"What is this?"
In his right hand was a piece of red jade that was slightly smaller than an egg and looked like it had been flattened. However, unlike the Blood Immersion Jade, it looked like a layer of skin wrapped in a red liquid. The liquid seemed to be flowing without any impurities. It was exceptionally magnificent, so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.
"Could it be … the Blood Immersion Jade Essence!"
Chen Zong's pupils contracted rapidly, and his breathing became rapid.
The Blood Immersion Jade Essence was the essence of the Blood Immersion Jade. Its value was at least a hundred times that of the Blood Immersion Jade. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy it.
Not only was the Blood Immersion Jade Essence far more valuable than the Blood Immersion Jade Essence, but it could also be worn close to the body. The pure Blood Qi it contained could constantly nourish the body, imperceptibly strengthening the cultivation of Vitality, and could also accelerate the recovery of Vitality after it was depleted.
Just like the current situation.
"It should be the Blood Immersion Jade Essence." Chen Zong thought to himself. He calmed the excitement in his heart and clenched his right hand even tighter. He could feel the pure Blood Qi continuously emanating from it and spreading throughout his body through his palm, accelerating the recovery of his Vitality.
The automatic recovery coupled with the accelerated recovery of the Blood Immersion Jade Essence allowed Chen Zong to use the Wind Stepping Steps more often.
The four martial practitioners had used up more than half of their Vitality in their fierce battle with Xue Li. Now that they had consumed Beast Blood Pills to recover, they would need some time unless they stopped and circulated their techniques to increase their speed. However, even if they stopped, it would still take some time. By then, Chen Zong would have already run away.
In addition, two of them were injured. Their wounds were in excruciating pain and affected their movements. They could only watch as Chen Zong's figure disappeared into the distance. They were so angry that they spat out blood.
Xue Li chased relentlessly because he had just obtained the Blood Immersion Jade Essence. Once he completely absorbed it, he would definitely be able to evolve into a higher form.
Xue Li's speed was very fast, but at best, it was about the same as the ninth level of the Blood Qi realm. There was no way he could catch up to Chen Zong who was continuously using the Wind Stepping Steps.
After intermittently using the Wind Stepping Steps more than thirty times, Chen Zong's Vitality was always maintained at less than half. Xue Li and the other four martial practitioners were left in the dust.
"Leave this place and return to the martial academy."
The value of the Blood Immersion Jade Essence was too high. It was a matter of great importance. In order to avoid any sudden changes, Chen Zong planned to immediately leave the Black Blood Battlefield and return to the Seven Lights Martial Academy.
On the way out of the Black Blood Battlefield, Chen Zong found an empty bag. He then took out pieces of Blood Immersion Jade and packed them into his back.
As night fell, Chen Zong lit a fire and rested inside a run-down house. He tied the Blood Immersion Jade Essence into a cross with a thin string and made a simple pendant. He hung it around his neck and placed it close to his chest.
The pure blood energy constantly entered his body and cultivated on its own. Chen Zong made a simple comparison. The speed of self-cultivation was almost the same as the speed of circulating the first stage of the True Sword Heavenly Art. This was a very frightening cultivation speed.
One must know that the True Sword Heavenly Art surpassed the Top Grade Mortal Rank. The cultivation speed of the first stage was equal to the cultivation speed of the second stage of a Top Grade Mortal Rank art. Cultivating on its own would not cause any burden to the body. It was equivalent to cultivating for an entire day. It was several times faster than usual.
Opening the bag, Chen Zong's eyes were filled with intoxication.
There were a total of six pieces of Blood Immersion Jade inside the bag. The smallest one was about the size of a fist and weighed at least one kilogram. The largest one was the size of two fists and weighed at least two kilograms.
With a preliminary estimation, the weight of the six pieces of Blood Immersion Jade should be about nine kilograms. It could be worth nine hundred thousand White Jade Coins.
"Nine hundred thousand. Including the others, I have one million and three hundred thousand White Jade Coins."
"If I sell the Blood Immersion Jade Essence, I can easily get two million White Jade Coins."
To be honest, Chen Zong was very reluctant to sell the Blood Immersion Jade Essence. After all, the Blood Immersion Jade Essence was very effective in aiding the cultivation and recovery of blood energy. With it, he would definitely be able to raise his cultivation to Qi and Blood Realm Level Eight or even Level Nine in a much shorter period of time.
But when he thought of his father's body deteriorating after losing his cultivation, the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. It would be best if he could recover as soon as possible.
After re-wrapping the Blood Immersion Jade Essence, Chen Zong began to circulate the True Sword Heavenly Art to cultivate.
With the help of the Blood Immersion Jade Essence, his cultivation speed was much faster. Chen Zong also noticed that when he actively cultivated, the progress of the third stage of the True Sword Heavenly Art was very obvious.
Perhaps it was because of the abundance of Blood Immersion Jade or the Blood Immersion Jade Essence, another Blood Yin was attracted in the middle of the night.
Having some experience in dealing with Blood Yin, Chen Zong quickly placed the tip of his sword on the fire to heat it up. With one slash, he injured the Blood Yin and fled.
The Blood Yin itself did not have any direct lethality. It had to enter the human body to absorb blood energy, so it was relatively easy to deal with. The only thing to pay attention to was its concealment.
As soon as the sky brightened, Chen Zong immediately carried the thick bundle and headed in the direction of Black Blood Town.
He did not need to stop to look for Blood Immersion Jade ores along the way. He even circulated his blood energy to increase his speed. With the Blood Immersion Jade Essence's recovery, as long as he did not release his blood energy, he would not be exhausted even if he circulated his blood energy for an entire day.
Under the crazy gallop, his speed was not inferior to that of a fine horse. The journey that would take several days to complete was completed by Chen Zong in less than a day. The boundary marker of the Black Blood Battlefield appeared clearly in front of him.
Two martial artists stepped into the Black Blood Battlefield together in front of him. They passed by Chen Zong with a distance of more than ten meters. Their eyes also swept over Chen Zong's bundle.
"Do you think his bundle is filled with Blood Immersion Jade?"
"Impossible. There seems to be a lot of things in that bundle. If it's all Blood Immersion Jade, it might be worth millions. I've never heard of anyone who could obtain so much Blood Immersion Jade in the Black Blood Battlefield, let alone a martial artist at the seventh stage of the Blood Qi realm."
"That's true. But it's probably just some ores. He wants to try his luck."
If these two martial artists knew that Chen Zong's bundle was filled with Blood Immersion Jade, they would immediately kill him and rob him.
Quickly returning to the inn, Chen Zong took out his horse tag and handed it to the waiter. He paid some white jade money as management fee and prepared to leave on his Red Fierce Horse.
"Little brother, you have a good harvest," a martial artist said casually.
"Yes, it's all Blood Immersion Jade. It's at least a dozen kilograms." Chen Zong smiled as he patted the bundle lightly.
"It's Blood Immersion Jade ores, right?"
"Maybe it's just some useless stones."
"You're dreaming. Wake up."
Originally, some martial artists were staring at Chen Zong's bundle. After hearing Chen Zong's words, they all shook their heads. A dozen kilograms of Blood Immersion Jade?
What a joke. Did he think they were ignorant?
Even some Qi Refining realm martial artists might not be able to obtain a few kilograms of Blood Immersion Jade in the Black Blood Battlefield, let alone a mere seventh stage of the Blood Qi realm.
Chen Zong deliberately said that to mislead others and make them think that he was bragging so that they wouldn't keep an eye on him. Otherwise, it would be a huge problem and he would have to lose the Blood Immersion Jade.
These days, the Red Fierce Horse was well taken care of. It was full of energy. After quickly leaving Black Blood Town, Chen Zong let out a sigh of relief. However, he didn't dare to slow down and galloped his horse.
He had no choice. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually a little nervous. After all, he was carrying Blood Immersion Jade that was worth millions. There was also Blood Immersion Jade Essence that was even more valuable. Every one of them could lead to a fatal disaster.
None of the martial artists who mingled in the Black Blood Battlefield were kind people. Their eyes were very sharp. He deliberately said that just now to mislead others. If someone suspected him later, they might catch up.
