Chapter 4086: Blood Lotus Pond
In the distance, a corpse floated over at an unhurried pace.
Wasnt this the Saints corpse that he had previously seen?
He was dressed in robes, completely purple-red in colour, and wore a purple-gold crown on his head. These were obviously all treasures, and there was not the slightest sign of decay.
However, this Saints corpse wasnt floating very fast, and it was far from being able to compare to the speed at which the two Venerate Tier elites were rowing the rafts. Yet, it had actually caught up to them after only a moment. This was naturally terrifying.
Strange!
The Heavenly Martial Venerate opened his eyes, and looked towards the Nine Mountains Venerate. There was a questioning look in his eyes.
We have to recover power, or we might encounter even greater danger, the Nine Mountains Venerate muttered to himself.
The Heavenly Martial Venerate nodded in understanding. If they expended too much of their power, then in such a strange sea of blood, they could possibly encounter even more danger. The Saints corpse floated closer and closer, and that terrifying aura came again.
Ling Han and the others hurriedly steered the rafts as well. Their power was insufficient, so the speed of the bone raft was naturally not too fast either. Thankfully, the Saints corpse was not moving very fast either, and just followed behind them at a leisurely pace.
Though they had not been caught up, the expressions of the three young men were a little ugly.
Being pursued by a corpse, just the thought of it was enough to make ones scalp go numb. What in the world was going on?
Yi, theres an island ahead! Ling Hans eyes were sharp, and he looked into the distance. Row over, the Nine Mountains Venerate immediately said.
All right! Ling Han steered the bone raft and headed towards that island.
The Ning brothers naturally moved as well, steering the bone raft to follow.
Behind them, that Saintls corpse was also chasing closely, as if it had eyes of its own, completely ignoring the movement of the ocean currents.
In a short while, the island in front of them appeared. It was not very big, and its greatest length was only 2.5 km.
But for the five of them, having a firm foothold and a place to rest was already enough.
They docked and landed on the island. The two Venerate Tier elites moved one after another, and grabbed the bone rafts from the sea. If they were washed away by the seawater, or destroyed by the Saints corpse, it was really possible that they would not be able to return.
This small island was very desolate. It was just a field of rocks, but there was a pool in the centre of the island.
Yi, theres a Great Herb! The Nine Mountains Venerate and the Heavenly Martial Venerate said at the same time.
They arrived at the side of the pool, and saw that there was presently a blood-coloured lotus flower growing in the pool. Additionally, the lotus flower had long since borne seeds, forming a blood-coloured lotus pod, covered with light silver veined patterns.
Haha! The Nine Mountains Venerate immediately laughed loudly, Brat, your luck is not too bad. These lotus seeds contain Regulations, and its grade is definitely not low. This is just in time to add a new veined pattern to your Celestial Core!
Wait! The Heavenly Martial Venerate hurriedly stretched out a hand, Nine Mountains, have you forgotten that I still exist?
What is it? You want to compete with a junior for this kind of treasured medicine? Nine Mountains Venerates expression was filled with disdain.
The Heavenly Martial Venerate humphed, I dont need it. But dont I have any juniors?
These two people are already at the consummate level of the Core Formation Tier. Dont tell me what they incribed previously on their Celestial Cores corresponds to the Regulations of the Blood Lotus. Eating these lotus seeds can help them complete the Regulations. The Nine Mountains Venerate mocked.
Yi, how did you guess? The Heavenly Martial Venerate pretended to be surprised.
F***, you are really too shameless, arent you?
The Nine Mountains Venerate thought for a moment, and said, If we fight, well need at least a few days to decide the victor. Moreover, this place is extremely strange, and unpredictable dangers might appear at any time.
Therefore, why dont we let these three juniors fight over it?
When the Heavenly Martial Venerate heard this, he hesitated slightly.
Ling Han was only at the late stage of the Core Formation Tier, while Ning Yanghao and Ning Bian were at the consummate level of the Core Formation Tier. There was a gap of a minor level between them, and this was an irreversible gap for top-notch prodigies. Thus, no matter how one looked at it, Ling Han had no chance of winning.
However, since there was no chance of victory, why had the Nine Mountains Venerate brought it up?
He was no idiot!
Okay! Ning Bian interrupted. He stared at Ling Han. Young people were hot-tempered, and he was really too defiant. What right did Ling Han have to make such a great name for
himself?
-Though he had already witnessed how extraordinary Ling Han was previously.
When it came to background, the Ning Clan had descended from a Saint. They were both members of the Holy Land, and the style of a clan was completely different from the style of a sect. Since childhood, he had been ingested with various natural treasures, and had cultivated a top-grade cultivation technique. How could this be compared to a person who had no solid foundation?
Moreover, he also had an advantage in terms of cultivation level.
All right. The Heavenly Martial Venerate nodded. Indeed, he couldnt think of any reason to lose, so he agreed, For the sake of fairness, all Celestial Tools are forbidden from being
used.
Fair your head!
The Nine Mountains Venerate didnt expose that. He had too much confidence in Ling Han.
Ling Han smiled, stepped out, and said, Brothers Ning, the two of you can attack together.
This... how arrogant!
Ning Bian was infuriated. Pointing at Ling Han, he said, Ill immediately let you know the consequences of being arrogant!
He pounced, and delivered a palm strike at Ling Han. Shua, golden light blazed, turning into a
sharp sword.
Ling Han replied with a punch. Peng, this golden sword was instantly shattered, and the power of the punch did not decrease, continuing to blast towards Ning Bian.
What!
Ning Bian was astonished. In his eyes, Ling Han was only at the late stage of the Core Formation Tier. His power could only reach 20 Heavens at most, yet upon contact, he discovered that Ling Hans power was actually as high as 28 Heavens!
This was too terrifying. It should be known that his power was only 22 Heavens. Even if he channelled the Saint Technique, his battle prowess would only increase another two Heavens, far from being Ling Hans match.
Peng!
He was sent flying by Ling Hans punch. Thankfully, Ling Han withdrew his power when he hit him. Otherwise, with this blow, Ning Bian would be finished.
Of course, the Heavenly Martial Venerate was just standing at the sidelines, so how could he possibly watch helplessly as his junior was killed? He would definitely move to stop him, so Ling Han simply withdrew the power of his own accord.
Ning Bians face alternated between red and white. At this moment, no matter how stubborn he was, he had to admit that there was a gap between him and Ling Han, and it was not small
either.
Nine Mountains, Im really jealous this time. The Heavenly Martial Venerate looked at Ling Han. Previously, though he had a high opinion of this young man, he now discovered that this young mans freakishness far exceeded his imagination.
The Nine Mountains Venerate smiled as he stroked his beard. At this moment, he only needed
to smile reservedly.
A thought flashed through the Heavenly Martial Venerates mind, and he said to Ling Han smilingly, Young man, have you married?
Yi, what kind of imagination was this? His imagination was running too fast, wasnt it?
Ling Han nodded, I already have a wife.
The Heavenly Martial Venerate couldnt help but sigh. Such an outstanding young man, it would be great if he could take him as a son-in-law of the Ning Clan. Unfortunately, Ling Han was already married, and the Ning Clan was a noble Holy Land, so how could they possibly allow their noble daughter to serve the same husband as another woman?
The Nine Mountains Venerate moved and plucked the lotus seed pod. As for the lotus, the Heavenly Martial Venerate had plucked it. Although it hadnt ripened yet, it would still have
some effect. It was better than wasting it.
They searched around the island again, but did not find anything else.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw the Saints corpse float over from the sea again. It was as if it were guarding them.
