Sigh, I was really regretful now. Although the Blood Demon's remnant consciousness had used me a little, it had helped me get through many difficult times no matter what. In this current situation, I had already fallen to the point where I was at the mercy of others.
If the Blood Demon's remnant consciousness hadn't been awakened, I was afraid that I would have died today. I realized that Curator Du was really strong. At first, there was only a faint layer of obstruction around the Blood Demon's remnant consciousness, but as time passed, it had condensed into a golden barrier that sealed the Blood Demon's remnant consciousness. Not even a little bit of dark power could be released.
Previously, the reason why my cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds was closely related to the power of darkness. I hardened my heart and forced out a drop of blood from my meridians, fusing it into my dantian and dripping it on the golden barrier.
In an instant, the golden barrier became transparent, and I could actually see the situation inside the barrier. The Blood Demon was currently in a state of deep sleep, but after the blood seeped into the barrier, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He allowed the drop of blood to pour into his body, and his face was brimming with an expression of extreme enjoyment.
"Ah ha, kid, at least you have a conscience. You still know how to be filial to me."
After being isolated for so long, he was also quite bored. Now that he felt the power of the blood, he snorted disdainfully.
"As expected, without my help, your cultivation progress is so slow. Do you really think that old fellow is helping you?
Some people are just afraid that others are stronger than them. Perhaps in your eyes, he is the high and mighty Curator, but in fact, he has his own selfish motives! "
It was rare for the Blood Demon to be so talkative. However, I was a little unhappy when I heard him slander Curator Du. After learning about the Blood Demon's remnant consciousness, I finally understood how terrifying it was. I might be able to soar to the sky now and achieve what I wanted, but there was no guarantee that I would become the Blood Demon's puppet in the future. All of my efforts would be for the benefit of others.
Moreover, Curator Du only chose to seal the Blood Demon's Remnant Consciousness instead of destroying it. There was another special reason. Since the Blood Demon's Remnant Consciousness had been in my Dantian for some time, if he were to forcefully destroy it, he might destroy my Dantian. The best outcome would be to become a cripple. If anything went wrong, he would definitely die.
He felt that I was worth making, and did not do that, so he settled for the next best thing. If the spell had been fulfilled, I should have perished on my own; but if, on the contrary, I should have survived, and redeemed myself, it would have been different.
Perhaps, it would break the destiny that had existed for thousands of years. Curator Du was very much looking forward to this. Even if there was only a small chance, he had to take a gamble.
Of course, I couldn't go against the Blood Demon right now. "Senior, I was helpless."
"Yes, yes. You're looking for me now. I'm afraid there's something you need, right?"
Since he only had one drop of blood, he could only maintain it for a few minutes. Moreover, he couldn't sense the situation outside.
"Yes, I'm in trouble. There's an assassin at the peak of Dark Jing who's looking for trouble. I could have dealt with him, but he has a snake-shaped dagger. The lethality he shows is not weaker than a Neutralizing Jing master. How can I deal with him?" I asked hastily.
"Oh, that should be a mid-tier Refined weapon. With your current ability, you are not strong enough to deal with him. The only way is to take the Dantian. That way, with the power of the Dantian, it won't be a problem to defeat him in a short period of time." The Blood Demon's Remnant Consciousness gave me a solution. This put me in a dilemma.
Middle-tier Refined weapons were usually not ordinary weapons. They were usually passed down from ancient times. After all, the level of forging at that time was already quite high. Many blacksmiths made a living with it. They forged for dozens of years, and there were some that they were satisfied with. Even after hundreds or thousands of years, they still retained their original sharpness!
Curator Du had previously warned me that I wasn't suitable to take the Dantian. It wasn't that my Dantian couldn't be digested, but the Blood Demon's Remnant Consciousness had occupied my Dantian for a long time. It was like a delicious piece of meat. If a tiger and a cub shared it, the cub wouldn't be able to take a bite. Even if Curator Du had sealed it, it would be difficult to block the effects of the Dantian.
As expected, the Blood Demon started to trick me as soon as he had a chance to communicate with me. However, I didn't have any other choice.
Taking the Dantian would at least save me. As for what would happen in the future, I couldn't be sure.
However, it seemed unrealistic to take the Dantian under the eyes of the man in black. I might even die under his sword before I could inherit the power of the Dantian.
It was obvious that the man in black didn't believe my answer. "It's useless to talk so much. Since you have something to hide, then go and meet the King of Hell!"
He raised his hand and waved the snake-shaped short sword. As the sword swayed, a few faintly discernible snake heads appeared, emitting an aura of death.
"Hehe, brat, it's your honor to die under the Golden Snake Sword." The man in black laughed dryly. Thick killing intent condensed in his eyes.
Damn it, I was just calling him brother just now, and now he's turning against me so quickly.
Due to my dual powers, I had been resisting the violent aura in my body, so I didn't have much room to fight back. Looking at the Golden Snake Sword flying towards me, I gave up. Am I really going to die?
However, I still had a lot of unfulfilled wishes. Just today, I was still joking with Liu Yuhan. I told her not to worry a hundred times. I didn't even have a baby with her, so how could I die?
However, in front of absolute power, I was so weak. It was just like the last time when Zhao Wente attacked me at night and pressed me to the ground. I didn't even have the ability to fight back.
I could handle it this time, but it still couldn't change anything.
The cries of the two girls echoed in my ears. It was like a sharp knife that was stabbing at my heart. Although it wasn't the first time I had to part with them, it was extremely sad.
"Stop."
Just as the Golden Snake Sword was about to stab my chest, a clear female voice suddenly sounded. It sounded familiar.
A jeep was speeding over from a few dozen meters away. The man in black had a weird expression. He hesitated for a moment before putting away his Golden Snake Sword. He wasn't in a rush to attack.
Not long later, the jeep stopped at the side. A graceful figure got out of the car. That charming face, that sexy body, it was Leng Yue!
Thinking about what happened in the bathroom this morning, a ripple appeared in my heart. Leng Yue had a unique charm. Simply put, she was charming but not ordinary. It was a temperament that was hard to grasp. If it was more, it would be flirtatious. If it was less, it would be pretentious.
