Chapter 56 Demon Vs Tie Clan II

“The Chainsaw Golden Centipede?” A wound split open across Yang Kang’s wrist, and the blood flowing from it rapidly condensed into a sharp blood spear. “Using the Chainsaw Golden Centipede this way is certainly ingenious. Let me see just how powerful it really is!”

Bang!

Yang Kang thrust his blood spear forward, meeting the Chainsaw Golden Centipede head-on. A metallic clang ranged across the battlefield as the two weapons collided. For a brief moment, neither side gave an inch.

But Yang Kang was still too young. In terms of raw strength, he was no match for the battle-hardened Tie Ju. With a sharp screech, the spinning saw teeth accelerated, tearing through the blood spear.

Crack! The blood spear split cleanly into two.

“Heh, brat, you’re still too inexperienced!” Tie Ju barked with a laugh. Seizing the opening, he drove a heavy kick into Yang Kang’s abdomen, sending him hurting dozens of meters away.

Yang Kang coughed up a mouthful of blood as he climbed back to his feet, his gaze fixed firmly on Tie Ju. “So that’s it… No wonder his physical strength is so terrifying. He must have used a Strength Path Gu that permanently increased his strength.”

Tie Ju had once used a Strength Path Gu, permanently granting him the strength of two bulls. In addition, the Triple Muscle-Boosting Gu had tempered his muscles, allowing them to withstand much greater force.

“Since I can’t gain the upper hand in close combat, then I’ll fight from a distance.”

Yang Kang twisted his body and came to a halt, a fierce glint flashing across his eyes. With a wave of his hand, dozens of blood arrows whistled toward the Tie Clan Gu Masters.

The Tie Clan reacted instantly. A young female Gu Master stepped forward and extended her right hand. With a soft poof, a black-and-gold lotus bloomed from her palm.

In an instant, the lotus fully blossomed. Its broad petals curved downward to form a giant umbrella, while its emerald-green stem rapidly lengthened to more than an arm’s length, becoming the umbrella’s handle.

Without the slightest hesitation, The young Gu Master grabbed the stem and swung the Umbrella Lotus Gu in front of the group.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The blood arrows slammed into the umbrella one after another, producing clouds of white smoke. The tremendous force drove her back several steps, yet she still managed to block the entire barrage.

“Throw it away! Quickly!” the middle-aged woman shouted.

The young female Gu Master immediately hurled the Umbrella Lotus Gu aside. In the blink of an eye, countless tiny pits spread across its surface as the blood rapidly corroded it. Before long, it would melt into a pool of blood.

“This is the terrifying aspect of Blood Path,” Tie Shankao, the short, stocky Tie Clan Gu Master, said with a grim expression. “Many Blood Path Gu possess astonishing corrosive power. Once you’re contaminated, the consequences can be disastrous.”

Generally speaking, the corrosive power of Blood Path was rarely this overwhelming. The Umbrella Lotus Gu had dissolved so quickly because it belonged to Plant Path, making it especially vulnerable to Blood Path’s corrosive abilities.

The young woman still looked shaken, her face filled with disgust. “What sinister methods. No wonder Blood Path is condemned as the Demonic Path. Blood Path demons truly deserve to be hunted down by everyone.”

Meanwhile, Tie Ju and Tie Xiang kept Yang Kang under relentless pressure. Years of hunting demonic Gu Masters had forged seamless coordination between them. Their attacks flowed one after another, leaving Yang Kang with no opportunity to regain the initiative.

“Rank Three Iron Elephant Gu!”

Tie Xiang flicked Gu into the air. It expanded with astonishing speed, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic iron elephant over six meters tall. Trumpeting loudly, it charged at Yang Kang on pillar-like legs.

“Rank Three Blood Wall Gu!”

Facing the charging beast, Yang Kang slammed both palms against the ground. Primeval essence emerged from his aperture as a towering wall of blood erupted before him.

Boom!

The Iron Elephant slammed into the Blood Wall with earth-shaking force. Thick clouds of white smoke erupted as the two forces collided.

This was the effect of Blood-Eroding Gu. Any Gu that came into contact with its blood would gradually be corroded until it dissolved into a pool of blood. Naturally, the extent of the corrosion depends on the type of Gu.

Tie Ju abruptly stopped, his face darkening. “You cowardly rat! If you’ve got the guts, come out and fight me head-on! Hiding behind a Blood Wall, what kind of ability is that?”

Tie Xiang let out a cold snort as he continued driving the Iron Elephant Gu against the Blood Wall.

“Damn Blood Path thief! Your resistance is meaningless. Come out and surrender, and I’ll grant you a quick death.”

“Needle Mosquito Swarm Gu!”

“Snowball Gu!”

“Flower Rain Gu!”

The remaining Tie Clan Gu Masters attacked in unison. None of them possessed a flying Gu, so they could only surround the towering nine-meter Blood Wall and bombard it relentlessly, hoping to exhaust Yang Kang’s primeval essence.

Without primeval essence, a Gu Master was no different from a tiger without fangs. Even a Blood Path Gu Master was no exception.

Sheltered behind the Blood Wall, Yang Kang quietly recovered his primeval essence before calling out, “Members of the Tie Clan, this is a grudge between me and Chijia Village. I bear no enmity toward the Tie Clan, nor have we ever crossed paths before. Why must you force me into a fight to the death?”
