Chapter 132: Rebirth From a Drop of Blood? The gaze of the Abyss!
Putting away the [Talisman of Eternal Sleep], Link tilted his head slightly, looking at Xue Linglong, Yang Xuerou, and the others.
He found that these people looked at him with surprise and hesitation as if they had something to say.
“What’s the matter?” Link asked calmly.
Yang Xuerou looked at him with concern, furrowed her eyebrows, and spoke with a worried expression. “You encountered a god during your rescue of the No Retreat Army this time? Are you guys alright?”
Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei both looked at Link subconsciously. After all, he was the person who had truly met a god face to face.
Link just smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was okay.
Fatty Lu Da was outspoken and immediately gave a thumbs-up as he exclaimed, “Brother Link, you are too awesome! You can even contend with the gods now?!”
Luo Xinghe also had a look of admiration on his face as he said, “Lord, you are the only one in the world who appeared on the world announcements up to this point. What’s more, you appeared twice! You are really amazing!”
Obviously, these confidants—who knew Link was the [Death Judge]—were also shocked by Link’s previous world announcement!
That’s a god!
Although the world today had changed drastically, who else had seen an existence of that level?
Not even to mention facing a god, just the aura that exuded from a god was enough to bring destruction. One such case was the abnormal changes that occurred in the No Retreat Army’s base.
Link was also well aware of such existences’ power, and he solemnly warned, “I am just lucky to have returned in time. That’s all. Godly existences are still out of reach for us.”
Yang Xuerou, Luo Xinghe, and the others calmed down from their excitement when they heard these words. They felt fortunate that Link and the others were still safe now.
But being able to face the gods and return safely was enough to show their lord’s strength!
Seraphim Yuna—standing behind Link—had a strange expression on her holy face, and her eyes twitched slightly.
It was indeed a lucky return. Her master even dared to take the God of Evil’s spider silk. If they were caught, it would be impossible to imagine what would happen...
After Luo Xingyao briefly talked about their experience in the No Retreat Army’s base, the chatting ended.
Link asked Yang Xuerou about the situation in Unfallen City. After all, the Blood Demon Gang had come here and was then completely wiped out.
Yang Xuerou stretched out her jade-like slender fingers and pushed a few strands of hair—which had jumped off her temples—behind her ears. She then began the report.
Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her slender jade neck was like a noble swan. This made her look capable and beautiful.
In a deep voice, she soon recounted the process of killing Bloodseeker with the Legend-grade Forbidden Curse—[Forged?Heaven’s Wrath Thunder Punishment].
At the side, Xue Linglong also took out the broken dagger left by Bloodseeker and handed it to Link.
When Link was away, Yang Xuerou was responsible for most of the things happening in Unfallen City.
This kind-hearted female teacher also showed her capable and decisive side after her experiences in the apocalypse the past few days.
“Good job.” Link received the dagger and expressed affirmation and encouragement to them.
Luo Xinghe and Luo Xingyao—this brother and sister pair’s eyes were slightly red, obviously thinking of their dead family.
They had a bloody and deep grudge against Bloodseeker. Now that they had their vengeance, and the enemy was even beheaded by Luo Xinghe himself, both of them felt happy and emotional in their hearts.
Those relatives wouldn’t be able to come back to life after all. But fortunately, they had already killed the enemy themselves!
Luo Xinghe patted Luo Xingyao on the back and said comfortingly, “If Father, Mother, and the spirits of our uncles can see all this in heaven, they should be able to rest in peace now.”
Luo Xingyao nodded and looked at Link, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude.
Luo Xinghe did the same. Both of them knew that the reason they could kill Bloodseeker was due to this man in front of them.
Without Link’s help and support, without the training in the City of the Undead and the lightning Forbidden Curse, they would have no idea how much longer it would take them to kill Bloodseeker.
Letting Bloodseeker live one more day in the world was akin to sprinkling salt on their wounded hearts, which was blasphemy against their dead family members.
“Lord, now that we have avenged our grievances, our lives are now yours. From now on, we will serve you wholly and even die for you!” Luo Xinghe solemnly knelt on one knee and spoke with his palm hugging his fist[1].
Luo Xingyao also knelt on one knee toward Link, her expression firm.
Link just patted their shoulders and said, “Live on well and create a city that never falls with me.”
“Yes!” The two siblings nodded heavily.
After soothing the siblings’ emotions, Link checked the broken dagger in his hand. Even though this dagger was broken, it still exuded a strong aura. Its grade was probably very high, at least a piece of Legend-grade equipment.
Suddenly, Link frowned slightly. The dagger was extremely scarlet, and the blood-like thing flowing within it made him sense something amiss.
With the enhancements to his mental spirit from the [Talisman of Eternal Sleep] and [Fearless Pathfinder], Link’s senses were much sharper than that of normal people.
“There’s a problem with this dagger.” Link narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in them.
Link took out the [Mask of the Faceless] and covered his face with it. A horrifying and chaotic aura instantly rippled from Link’s body.
There seemed to be a faint whisper. It kept on sounding, leading people to fall into madness or expounding the cruel reality in the universe.
“This...” Xue Linglong and the others showed a look of surprise on their faces.
What could be wrong with a broken dagger? Could it be that it is a special ‘time bomb?’
However, the next scene made them even more dumbfounded.
They saw translucent tentacles—which seemed half-virtual and half-corporeal—appeared from Link’s entire body.
The tentacles penetrated the dagger, and a drop of fresh, scarlet blood was then taken out from the dagger!
The already broken dagger instantly fell apart as the drop of blood was removed from it.
That drop of fresh, scarlet blood stayed suspended in the air, rippling with blood-red light. Through this drop of blood, it was as if they could see a sea of blood and mountains of corpses floating in it!
A sinister laugh suddenly sounded at this moment. “I didn’t expect that you would still end up discovering this!”
The voice stunned everyone. Luo Xingyao and Luo Xinghe’s expressions even changed dramatically!
This was Bloodseeker’s voice!
He’s still alive?
Link frowned and questioned, “Bloodseeker? No, he should be dead. Who are you exactly?”
Link could perceive that this drop of blood contained an aura different from that of Bloodseeker. It was incomparably deep and vast; it was an aura that not even a Stage Five or Stage Six being could possess!
It might even have reached the level of a Sage! It should be noted that only terrifying beings at Stage Eight and above could be called Semi-Sages or Quasi-Sages!
“Humph! An ant-like being like you doesn’t deserve to know my name! You just need to know that I am here to take your life!”
“That trash, Bloodseeker, is really useless. I gave him power and treasures, yet he was actually beheaded before he even saw you in person! Fine then; I shall come and clean up the mess and personally crush you—an ant that wanted to touch the Epochal Ruins—into pieces. You should know that there are some things that you can’t touch!”
Link’s heart shivered with coldness when he heard this. The Epochal Ruins... Could he be referring to the Epochal Ruins in the wilderness? The person speaking now should be the existence behind Bloodseeker! A Sage from the Abyss!
