But he hadn't expected this to be discovered by Ru Meng, and Ru Meng was heartbroken over it, so she ran away from the Blood Oath Sect.
That caused the Blood Son's Bloody Evil to fail to complete its final evolution, which is also why the Blood Son now wants so badly to kill Ling Zhenfei and turned Ru Meng into a walking corpse.
Ling Zhenfei was now facing those Bloody Evil alone, and the Blood Son clearly had no intention of holding back anymore. With every move of his hand he sent out some Bloody Evil toward Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei dodged while using his own Northern Spiritual Energy to defend.
There were countless thoughts racing through Ling Zhenfei's mind. He knew that if he didn't break this Bloody Evil Technique, it would be almost impossible to defeat the Blood Son.
So the key right now was figuring out how to kill these Bloody Evil; but these Bloody Evil weren't afraid of Northern Spiritual Energy at all, so Northern Spiritual Energy couldn't kill them.
That was the most terrifying part of the Bloody Evil Technique. Ordinary cultivators all cultivate Northern Spiritual Energy, yet this Northern Spiritual Energy still couldn't kill these Bloody Evil—isn't that just too heaven-defying?
By now the Bloody Evil were already numerous enough; they closed in from all directions, surrounding Ling Zhenfei. It really seemed there was no way to dodge anymore.
Of course, Ling Zhenfei wasn't someone who'd be taken down by Bloody Evil that easily. He just wanted to keep probing for these things' weaknesses.
At this moment, something suddenly appeared in Ling Zhenfei's hand—it was a gourd. This gourd had originally belonged to the Blood Oath Sect as well.
Once it appeared in Ling Zhenfei's hand, he opened the gourd's lid, and a powerful flame surged toward those Bloody Evil.
Ling Zhenfei used fire to burn the Bloody Evil; that surging flame completely engulfed them.
But to Ling Zhenfei's surprise, the flames did nothing to the Bloody Evil at all. Even as they were burned by the raging fire, they showed no reaction whatsoever.
They charged straight through the flames, rushing at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked. He'd originally thought these Bloody Evil were some kind of minor living things that could be burned to death with fire, but he hadn't expected them to be completely unafraid of flame.
Meanwhile, the encirclement of those Bloody Evil was shrinking tighter and tighter, trying to trap Ling Zhenfei inside.
In the distance, the Blood Son was controlling these Bloody Evil. Seeing this, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips; he clearly already felt victory within his grasp.
This Bloody Evil that blotted out the sky formed into a spherical shape and pounced toward Ling Zhenfei. No matter who it was, there'd be no way to dodge.
This was the terror of the Bloody Evil Technique: you couldn't kill what you attacked, and you still couldn't block the advance of these Bloody Evil in battle.
Ling Zhenfei was also shocked in his heart. Could it be that there really was no way to break this Bloody Evil?
But the Rental Fee refused to accept that. No matter how powerful a Cultivation Technique was, it would always have some weak point.
Since these Bloody Evil were a kind of living thing, why not try using Soul Passage on them? Maybe Soul Passage could directly wipe out these Bloody Evil.
Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei's power of the soul shrouded the surroundings, and then he unleashed a Soul Attack.
Although this Soul Attack now had the power to instantly kill low-level cultivators, after he unleashed this power of the soul, it had no effect on the Bloody Evil at all.
Turned out these Bloody Evil didn't have any soul to begin with, so what Soul Attack was there to talk about?
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei almost laughed at himself; but the encirclement was tightening. If he didn't escape, he might really become yet another Evil Sacrifice under this Bloody Evil Technique.
He no longer had the luxury to think. Since Northern Spiritual Energy didn't work on Philosophical Blood Shura, he'd at least have to escape first.
With that thought, the Tang sword in Ling Zhenfei's hand swung out, slashing at that Bloody Shura Wall. The powerful Northern Spiritual Energy instantly hacked a large hole in the Bloody Shura Wall.
Ling Zhenfei's plan was to escape through that large opening.
Just now he'd discovered that one slash of his could open a big hole in the Bloody Shura Wall, but that hole would quickly heal. To escape, he'd have to control his body's speed just right.
This time, after Ling Zhenfei slashed a big hole in the Bloody Shura Wall, he was just about to charge out.
He had already reached the opening when he realized he'd miscalculated.
Earlier, there had been fewer Bloody Evil and the Bloody Shura Wall had been thinner, so after one slash it needed some time to heal.
But now the wall formed by the Bloody Evil was extremely thick; trying to rush straight through the opening in the wall left him with simply not enough time.
But Ling Zhenfei had no other options. He had to at least try, so he charged into the opening.
After entering, Ling Zhenfei used Northern Spiritual Energy to hack open the Spiritual Qi Wall ahead, then took advantage of that brief window to dash out.
Breaking free of the Spiritual Qi Wall's control, Ling Zhenfei finally felt as if the clouds had parted, and then he rushed out.
The first person Ling Zhenfei went for, naturally, was the Blood Son. He charged at the Blood Son with his Tang sword.
The Blood Son smiled faintly, flicked his Folding Fan, and another swarm of Bloody Evil rushed at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was extremely depressed. Fighting this Blood Son who used the Bloody Evil Technique was like trying to smash cotton with a giant iron hammer—he was exhausted, yet the cotton showed no reaction at all.
He'd just gone through all that effort to get out, only for the other side to casually send out another wave of Bloody Evil.
Ling Zhenfei was so furious he could hardly stand it. Now he finally understood how formidable the Blood Son's Bloody Evil Technique was. This technique could completely kill higher-level cultivators across realms.
The Blood Son's Realm right now was only at the Pursue Heart State, but even in the Chasing Heart Realm Early-Stage, he wouldn't fear facing someone at the late stage of the Pursue Heart State.
Because he didn't use Northern Spiritual Energy at all; he only needed to use his Bloody Evil to kill.
And this Bloody Evil feared neither Northern Spiritual Energy nor fire. Ling Zhenfei honestly had no idea how to deal with it.
This Bloody Evil, together with the ones from before, quickly formed an encirclement again, closing in on Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was alarmed. The Bloody Evil kept increasing in number; sooner or later he'd be trapped and killed inside.
As long as the Bloody Evil touched him, he'd be finished. Once they latched on, they'd gnaw him until not even his bones remained.
But at this moment Ling Zhenfei still didn't know what to do. He slashed twice in the Blood Son's direction with Northern Spiritual Energy, but the Blood Son easily dodged them.
"Despicable coward, if you've got the guts then fight me head-on!"
Ling Zhenfei had no other choice and started using taunts.
"And you even call yourself some kind of 'Young Master'? You don't even dare clash Northern Spiritual Energy with me once. With so many of your subordinates watching, aren't you ashamed? If word gets out, you'll be even more of a disgrace."
The Blood Son burst out laughing and said, "I can kill you without even lifting a hand, and you still have something to say? Besides, once I kill you, who's going to know?"
Ling Zhenfei was furious. At this moment, the dark Bloody Evil closed in on him again. Aside from hacking at the better-positioned Bloody Evil with Northern Spiritual Energy, there was nothing else he could do.
