However, the Blood Demon took advantage of this point to change from defense to offense, putting tremendous pressure on the two big shots. They almost failed miserably. Left with no other choice, they finally chose to take action.
This was a psychological game. If the Blood Demon refused to leave my body, he would perish together with me. On the other hand, he would still have a chance to live. In the end, the Blood Demon compromised. The two bosses had only exchanged glances and understood each other's intentions. At the last moment, they had released most of their power, which allowed me to survive.
However, the problem was that they couldn't kill the Blood Demon in one shot. I felt that some things really had their own destiny. Could it be that I was the only one who could send the Blood Demon to heaven?
I remembered clearly what Zhenren Zhang said at the top of Mount Hua. Only the fated person in the future could kill him.
I didn't tell the two big shots about these things because I didn't want to be suspected. The most important thing was that it was too exaggerated. Curator Du might have opened the Martial Saint Tablet to get some martial arts. It was like I was lucky. The first time was the King of Medicine's inheritance, and the second time was the Seven Skills of True Martial Arts. It was amazing. It was the protagonist's halo!
Not long after, I followed Grandmaster Chen to a room in the martial arts club. When I was at the door, I could feel that the whole room was different. Not only was the material special, but it was also covered with a layer of strong internal strength. Especially this old door, it looked antique and there was a lifelike dragon carved on it.
Just by looking into the dragon's eyes, I could feel an inexplicable pressure, as if the dragon was a door god. However, I could see some clues. Grandmaster Chen must have added some treasures and his own internal energy into the door. If someone tried to barge into the room, they would retreat immediately. If someone tried to barge into the room without permission, they would be sent flying away as soon as they touched the door.
If they wanted to break in, they would need to be at the middle or late stage of Transforming Strength or above the seventh level of the Supreme Power Realm.
Then, Grandmaster Chen stretched out a hand, pressed it on the dragon's head, and released a condensed internal strength. After a while, the door was opened.
I walked in and saw that it was an ordinary study. Then, Grandmaster Chen waved his hand, and the bookcase on the right was moved to the side.
He walked over and knocked on it a few times in a rhythmic manner.
Creak. Grandmaster Chen lifted up four pieces of the floorboards.
"Let's go down together."
Grandmaster Chen waved his hand and said casually. I couldn't help but have a good impression of him. It was obvious that he had set up a trap. Grandmaster Chen's generosity in bringing me here showed his approval and trust in me.
Soon, I discovered that this was a rather hidden basement. However, there weren't many things inside, only rows of bookshelves and a few wooden boxes.
However, there were all kinds of martial arts manuals on the bookshelves. Almost all of them were cultivated by inner force martial artists!
Then, Grandmaster Chen opened one of the wooden boxes and took out a transparent plastic bag. Inside the bag were a few crumpled pieces of yellow paper. It looked rather old.
"This is?" I was slightly stunned.
"Come and have a look." Grandmaster Chen didn't explain.
I took a closer look. Although they were all written in traditional Chinese, I could understand most of them.
What was recorded was information about the Blood Demon, including the disasters he had caused over the past thousands of years. It was an era of war, and the Blood Demon could easily control the fate of the king. However, his conditions were really terrifying. Sometimes, he could 'have a meal' with thousands of virgin boys and girls.
In ancient times, the population wasn't that high. Some small countries might only have a few thousand or ten thousand people. That was why it was hard to find hundreds or thousands of virgin boys and girls. It wasn't a big deal if it happened once or twice, but if it continued for a long time, it wouldn't be sustainable.
In the end, when the small countries were drained, the Blood Demon would turn his back on them and choose the next one.
At that time, the information was limited, and the Blood Demon took advantage of it to support a few small countries. Those kings were happy. The Blood Demon promised them many times that he would give them the elixir of immortality. He thought that he could unify the world and bring glory and wealth to his descendants. However, it turned out that this idea was extremely stupid. However, the environment back then was limited, so it wasn't strange for them to be involved in it.
However, it was also from then on that the Blood Demon's supreme demonic skill gradually changed. When they discovered the problem, it was already too late. In the end, all the martial artists from various countries came out in full force just to condemn and annihilate the Blood Demon. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they still dealt a fatal blow to the Blood Demon, causing him to stop for more than a hundred years.
Those martial artists thought that they had eliminated the Blood Demon. However, after a hundred years, the Blood Demon rose from the ashes again. The martial artists who had stayed back then had turned into a pile of dirt, and the Blood Demon was able to see the light of day again.
For hundreds of years, the Blood Demon was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed. Every time he appeared, he would stir up a bloody storm in the martial arts world.
However, ever since the end of the great battle between Daoist Zhang and the Blood Demon, the Blood Demon had not made a move for more than seven hundred years. The pain of the past, along with the twists and turns of history, had long become the memories of generations after generations.
Without a doubt, these records were extremely rare. It wasn't easy for them to be preserved. In the past, Grandmaster Chen used to read unofficial history for fun. However, after experiencing it for himself, he realized that the ancient people weren't making it up. It was true.
"After reading these, you should understand the current situation of Hua Xia's martial arts."
Obviously, Grandmaster Chen didn't say it too directly to save me from being discouraged. However, I had to admit that it was indeed going downhill.
Before I could say anything, Grandmaster Chen handed me a specially sealed plastic bag. "There's also this. Take a look."
Aside from some written records, there were pictures. Although the pictures were vague and abstract, I could still recognize the sage-like old man. It was Zhang Zhenren that I had seen in the Martial Saint Monument!
It turned out that this was the picture of that unparalleled battle from back then. However, the person who recorded these things was rather clumsy, and due to the size of the paper, it could only give people a feeling that it was not enough, and more imagination was needed.
"If I'm not mistaken, the current Blood Demon is the Blood Demon Monarch of the past. Seven hundred years ago, Zhang Zhenren and the Blood Demon fought on the peak of Mount Hua. They fought for three days and three nights. Fortunately, Zhang Zhenren was slightly stronger. He used all of his strength and made the Blood Demon stay silent for more than seven hundred years. You can imagine how strong he was!"
