Chapter 222 Doubts over the True and False Rules

"Pfft~"

At that moment, Zhen Dexiu's rapidly spinning longsword pierced through a gap and entered the gaping mouth of the Bloodmouth Manbeast, exiting from another huge mouth.

Zhen Dexiu's longsword attack created a through wound thick as a sea bowl on the body of the Bloodmouth Manbeast, with crimson blood spraying out from the wound.

"Hahaha~"

The Bloodmouth Manbeast's screams grew even more harrowing, while Yu Qingtan's Blood God Peak had already suppressed it, flattening the cylindrical body of the Bloodmouth Manbeast, causing even more blood to spurt violently from its wounds.

The six attacks unleashed by the Bloodmouth Manbeast had broken through most of the defenses of Yu Qingtan and her two companions, but ultimately failed to reach their bodies, only sending them flying back by dozens of feet.

Then, Fang Ling unleashed the second strike of the Blood Xi Slash Soul Sword.

Zhen Dexiu's lifebound magical treasure, the Blood Xi Sword, also returned to her hand, and she smashed it out with her hammer once again.

Yu Qingtan swung the forty zhang long Weeping Blood Blade, using up another half of her accumulated energy to stab at the Bloodmouth Manbeast, which was suppressed by the Blood God Peak.

The soul of the Bloodmouth Manbeast was directly slashed by the second Blood Xi Slash Soul Sword, losing a good portion. It was then pierced by the Blood Xi Sword with a transparent hole and eventually stabbed by the Weeping Blood Blade into one of its mouths, its blood crazily drained.

The Blood God Peak pressed down even further, forming the Bloodmouth Manbeast into the shape of a giant pancake.

Seeing the Bloodmouth Manbeast on the verge of defeat, Fang Ling and Yu Qingtan looked at Zhen Dexiu, and Zhen Dexiu looked back at them.

Zhen Dexiu took out another Nascent Soul Charm Treasure, while Fang Ling brought out the ancient Taoist Instrument long staff given by Qian Yongduo, and Yu Qingtan took out twelve Blood Demon Cores, ready to perform the Blood Sacrifice Technique.

"Good brother, and this sister, aren't you guys thinking of making a move on me before the Bloodmouth Manbeast is even dead? How heartless!"

Zhen Dexiu still spoke in her whiny voice, while the Blood Xi Sword had already returned in front of her.

"We're not as old as you! The inner core of the Bloodmouth Manbeast belongs to us, and we'll consider the previous incident a misunderstanding!"

Yu Qingtan used Xu Kexin's voice to speak to him.

"Yo, turns out to be a good little brother. I wonder, is this Fourth Stage inner core for your own use or for your little lover?"

Zhen Dexiu spoke to Fang Ling, her words filled with provocation.

"Hmph, our relationship isn't like that! No wait, you talk too much!"

Yu Qingtan grew annoyed, just as the Weeping Blood Blade reached its limit in absorbing blood energy. Yu Qingtan pulled out the Weeping Blood Blade, using all the absorbed energy to launch a strike at Zhen Dexiu.

"I'll hold him off; you go and finish off the Bloodmouth Manbeast, then collect its inner core! Don't worry, I'm not afraid of his Nascent Soul Charm Treasure!"

While making her move, Yu Qingtan transmitted her voice to Fang Ling.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ling executed the third Blood Xi Slash Soul Sword against the extremely weakened Bloodmouth Manbeast.

This was also the last time he could perform the technique in quick succession.

But it was enough; the soul of the Bloodmouth Manbeast was directly bisected.

Fang Ling then gave the Bloodmouth Manbeast a blow with the ancient Taoist Instrument long staff, knocking out its inner core and simultaneously killing the residual soul inside, and then he held it in his hand.

Such a formidable Fourth Stage being had fallen to the joint attack of Yu Qingtan and her two companions.

For Demonic Beasts, Sea Clan, Blood Demons, and the like, their inner cores, even at the Fourth Stage, do not undergo the same transformation from core to nascent soul as the Human Race does; instead, they remain as inner cores, only becoming larger and possessing even more mystical properties.

A Fourth Stage inner core was extremely valuable. Fang Ling was about to place it into his storage equipment when, unexpectedly, the inner core of the Bloodmouth Manbeast, like the Golden Core of the Red Robe Blood Marionette, transformed into a red light that shot into Fang Ling's body, enhancing his understanding of the Blood Dao. Fang Ling had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and begin to meditate, seeking to grasp the essence.

On the other side, facing Yu Qingtan's attack, Zhen Dexiu countered with another hammer smash longsword cannon attack, going on the offense.

The Blood Xi Sword and the giant hammer were both top-quality Third Stage weapons, while the Weeping Blood Blade was only of superior quality at the Third Stage. Although it had used up all the absorbed energy, the collision with the Blood Xi Sword was merely a stalemate.

Seeing that Fang Ling had obtained the inner core of the Bloodmouth Manbeast, Zhen Dexiu was angry but helpless.

So, without waiting for Yu Qingtan to attack again, Zhen Dexiu had already employed the Blood Escape Technique, rushing into the cave behind the Bloodmouth Manbeast.

It was too late for Yu Qingtan to stop her, and she also needed to protect Fang Ling, so she could only let Zhen Dexiu go first reluctantly.

After all, being first doesn't necessarily mean gaining more; Zhen Dexiu had been the first to reach this place as well.

Yu Qingtan stowed away the Blood God Peak, then she plunged the Weeping Blood Blade into the body of the Bloodmouth Manbeast, continuing to drain the blood that hadn't been fully absorbed before. She also took out a large vat to collect its blood.

The blood of the Bloodmouth Manbeast should also be useful for her practice of the Demon Blood Body Refining Technique.

Speaking of Qing Shuang, after giving Xue Xi Dan to Fang Ling, she stopped learning the Blood Dao spells and continued to cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Scripture and the Demon Blood Body Refining Technique, and now she's about to break through.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Ling opened his eyes.

"Fang Ling, how is it?"

"My understanding of the Blood Dao has deepened a lot, the Blood Domain has reached the limit of the Third Level, Qing Tan, thank you!"

"Hee hee, you're so powerful, you'll have to look after me in the future!"

Yu Qingtan said jokingly.

"I will!"

Fang Ling said earnestly.

At this moment, the two of them turned their gaze to the cave.

The cave didn't look very big, but since Zhen Dexiu had entered so long ago without any sign of activity coming from inside.

"This place has yielded a Fourth Stage Blood Demon, indicating that rule ten is also false. I have been thinking for a long time and have finally thought of a possibility!"

Yu Qingtan said.

"What possibility?"

Fang Ling asked curiously.

"Rule eleven, the rule that states one of the rules is false, is itself false. That is to say, there's more than one false rule. Rules one, five, six, eight, and nine should be true, while rules three, ten, and eleven are false. The authenticity of rules two, four, and seven is still uncertain."

Yu Qingtan explained.

"Indeed, whether the Guide is truly guiding us or is a deceiver, whether encountering people in other colored robes truly means we can only run, whether the destination really is on this Blood God Island, it's all uncertain.

Nevertheless, let's go inside and check it out!"

Stay updated with empire

Fang Ling proposed.

"Okay! But take this with you. If anything goes awry, you get out first; I have another one!" Yu Qingtan took out one of Qian Yongduo's Retreat Orders, tossed it to Fang Ling, and he did not refuse it.

They prepared their protective measures and cautiously entered the cave.

Nothing happened.

Although the cave was dimmer inside, with the vision of someone at the Golden Core Stage, visibility was not an issue.

Just a few feet in, a downward slope appeared.

Yu Qingtan and his companion continued down the slope.

The slope became steeper, and just as Yu Qingtan estimated they were about to reach the base of Blood God Mountain, they encountered a space the size of an ordinary house.

Then, there was no more path.

The two exchanged glances and began a thorough investigation.

There were no mechanisms or teleportation formations, nor any trace of Zhen Dexiu's presence.

Even probing the walls and floor with Divine Sense revealed nothing.

It was as if Zhen Dexiu had never entered this cave.

After searching again, they still found nothing.

As Yu Qingtan meticulously recalled everything that had happened since entering the ruins of the Blood God Cult, a light suddenly dawned in his eyes, and he spoke loudly:

"Rule five and rule eight might also be false!"

"Huh? But didn't you, like me, confirm that there is a very terrifying kind of insect above ten feet from the ground which even those at the Fourth Stage might not resist? Besides, the crystal white lotus lamp, Qian Yongduo's Soul defense treasure which you claimed for yourself, did it not block my Xue Xi Chop Soul Sword?

Wait a second, something's wrong, I've got it!"

Hearing Yu Qingtan's words, Fang Ling was initially puzzled but then suddenly had a realization.
