BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147
Long Tao’s mutilated body was lying inside the blood pool. The damage incurred this time was quite severe. The demonization art puts pressure on the cultivator’s body. The pressure was increased due to the use of the ‘Dominator’s fist.’
” How long would it take for him to recover?”
” He should be able to regain consciousness within some time. As per his body, I am not sure.”
“Demonisation art seems to take a big toll on his body. Should we go ahead with that thing?”
” Did you feel any difference between his body before and after the use of demonization art.” The puppet tried to analyze but failed to do so.
” Every time he uses it, I could feel his body becoming stronger than it was previously. The practitioner could point out the exact differences.”
........................
Long Tao slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and found himself submerged in the blood pool. He tried to move his body but was unable to do so.
.....
” You shouldn’t exert your strength. The damage incurred this time is quite severe. Your body is mutilated from the use of both the arts. Concentrate on recovery as of now.”
” How long was I out fo?”
” It has been six days within the realm ( 1 day in the outside world).”
” What was the result of our fight?”
” The effort seemed to have paid off. The blood general was killed due to the use of Dominator’s fist. I honestly didn’t expect that art to be so strong.”
Long Tao felt relieved to hear the outcome. He put a lot of effort into training. A whole avatar was dedicated to just creating this art.
...........................
” Did anything within the blood general’s possession survive?”
The Keeper raised his hands, and two objects feel in front of Long Tao. One was the naginata, while the other was a ring. Long Tao was keen to search its content. He was expectant to find the next part of Blood Tempering arts.
“Recover your strength. I will allow you to investigate the matter, only after you can walk.”
The statement crushed long Tao’s hopes. He closed his eyes and began to assimilate the blood energy tor replenish his vitality. The Blood pool within the crimson lord world would soon exhaust itself. He would need to enter the Heaven Cleaver mansion to get more of it.
......................................
The war was progressing according to Long Tao’s predictions. Su Menqi followed his instruction and was able to capture most of the surrounding areas. It was time to attack the Chu troops.
Long Tao instructed Di Tao about the plans. They were to attack their enemies during the night. Although it was an unethical method, LongTao didn’t believe in fair opportunity.
The troops were assembled. The commanders who were in charge of the battalions had a meeting to devise the offensive strategy.
” Did the back-up arrive?” Su Menqi had claimed that she would be re-treating back to the camp if back-up doesn’t arrive within three days.
” The messenger from Tamar reported that the back-up team is dispatched and will be reaching here any time.”
” As soon as they come, we are to start the attack. They will be the first line of offence.”
The commanders were surprised to hear this. Their troops were exhausted from the continuous war. Recuperation required some time.
A soldier came rushing in :
” The Back-up troops have arrived commander Su.”
” Have their leader meet me in the tent.”
...............................
” This is too much. We are exhausted from the journey. We can’t be taking the offensive stance as of now.”
Su Menqi looked at the commander of the army. ” I suppose you misread the situation. I wasn’t asking, I was ordering you.” She took out two small nameplates.
The leader of the back-up troops was shocked to see it. Either of the nameplates belonged to a supreme authority. One belonged to the general, while the other was a golden imperial decree.
” I am the supreme commander of the troops stationed in these mountains. As soon as you joined us, I became your leader.”
She rose from her seat and began her departure. Just before exiting, she turned around and said,” prepare the troops within 4 hours, we will be attacking tonight.”
Su Menqi breathed a sigh of relief when she left the tent. It was all thanks to the two nameplates given to her by Long Tao. She was going to attack the Chu camp tonight.
.................................??.......
The Chu capital city-
” What do you mean by this intrusion.”
” Forgive my sin. I have an urgent matter to report.” A servent was bowing before a group of hooded figures.
” What is it?”
” The soul slate of general blood blasted some time ago. He is dead.”. Each of the hooded figures stood at the same time. How could this be? The Blood general was dead.
” Are you sure it was his soul slate?”
” I am sure, my lord. The soul power imbued was getting weaker and weaker, until suddenly it burst.”
This matter was no small news. Blood general’s death would mean a catastrophic impact on their plans. Furthermore, it proved that Longtao was powerful enough to kill the Blood general.
” I have a proposal. Let me take care of Long Tao.”
The speaker soon emerged out of shadows. It was none other than the second prince.
“You have yet to pass our evaluation. We are informed about your meeting with Long Tao during his visit. You two seem to have a good relationship. How are we supposed to believe your claim?”
” I will lure him into the Chu country. Would that be enough to win your praise? What happens after that is upon you. I want my demands fulfilled.’
” What is your demand?”
” To be the king of Chu country.” The silhouettes nodded. It was an excellent opportunity to test the loyalty of the prince.
.................................................
The Crimson Lord world-
Long Tao manage to rebuild his mutilated body. Some minor injuries were remaining, but he decided to take care of them later. He took out the two objects gained from the blood-general.
The Naginata was a quasi king rank weapon, but the quality was lower than Long Tao’s sword and sabre. He decided to inspect it later. The next thing was the ring. Long Tao imbued his consciousness into the ring.
He broke the seal on it and opened the space within. The number of substances in it was quite massive, but the first thing which attracted Long Tao’s attention was a set of vials.
” Do you know what these are?”
” These are the concentrated blood essence of King rank beasts.” Long Tao was ecstatic on hearing it. This blood was a precious cultivation resource. The next thing was the pile of Qi stones and other resources. Finally, Long Tao managed to find the item he was looking for.
A book was present within the pile. As soon as Long Tao touched it, something seemed to resonate with his blood. The book shined and got absorbed into his body.
Long Tao instantly closed his eyes and inspected the manual present within his consciousness. As expected, the next manual of the Blood-Tempering method was present in it.
He instantly began his break-through. After it was complete, a new set of skills merged in his memory. ‘ Blood recovery.’ So This was the skill the blood general was using.
Long Tao began to inspect the content of the manual.
.........................................
Di Tao was in charge of the Black-buck a squad, and they were reporting their finding to him. A recent message stated that his presence was required to resolve the situation. A messenger seems to have arrived form the Chu country.
He asked his underlings to set up a private meet and instructed them to leave.
” Who Is your master?”
” I have come on behalf of my master to report a secret message to sir Long Tao.”
” You don’t seem to understand the situation. No matter how important the message is, it will never reach Long Tao until it passes through me. So what is the message.”
The messenger hesitated, but finally decided to report it.
” His highness, the second prince asks for sir Long’s help in resolving this crisis.” He forwarded a package to Di Tao. ” It contains the details of the situation and the message from his majesty. Please give it to sir Long Tao.”
