Blood Shadow and the 10,000-legged Venerable One were stunned. In particular, the latter was in disbelief.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One was certain that its strike on Ou Yangming was swift and fierce. It controlled its power because of Blood Shadow, such that the young fellow would not be killed in one hit. Nonetheless, it had unquestionably injured him severely so that he could not move anymore.

Who knew, Ou Yangming sprung up and flew toward the secret realm's entrance. It did not look like he was injured at all.

At this moment, as shrewd as the 10,000-legged Venerable One was, its face was burning as it could not bear this.

As it moved, strange yet powerful fluctuations appeared in the air around it. It leaped out at an unbelievable speed.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One wanted to stop Ou Yangming before he entered the secret realm, or its reputation as a Venerable One would be ruined.

Nevertheless, the second the 10,000-legged Venerable One pursued Ou Yangming, the countless blood lights that were initially floating in mid-air became lively. They suddenly dispersed then automatically combined again to form an impenetrable net in a split second. Not only did they obstruct the young fellow, but they also surrounded him and wrapped him up completely.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One halted steadily in mid-air.

It turned to ask with flickering eyes, “Blood Shadow, what are you doing?”

Blood Shadow ignored its fierce look and asked, “10,000-legged, he's still useful to me. Are you trying to kill him?”

The 10,000-legged Venerable One scoffed, but it slowly calmed down after it recalled the deal they made.

As said by Blood Shadow, after being tricked by an Intermediate Spiritualist, the furious 10,000-legged Venerable One would kill Ou Yangming without any hesitation if it caught up to him. However, it had agreed that the young fellow belonged to the red figure.

The Venerable One turned to stare at Ou Yangming and asked all of a sudden, “How did you know that he's fine?”

Blood Shadow shook its head and answered, “I didn't know.”

“If you didn't know, how could you have set this up in advance?”

The 10,000-legged Venerable One could tell in one glance that the blood lights were set up beforehand, which was why they could be used during the crucial moment to trap the cunning human.

Blood Shadow could not help but laugh. “He's the Phoenixes' messenger, after all, so it's normal even if he has abilities that we don't know of. I was only planning ahead.”

The 10,000-legged Venerable One flushed. The more casual Blood Shadow sounded, the more awful it felt; it sounded to it like the red figure was mocking it.

Despite that, the formidable Venerable One decided to forgive Blood Shadow after some serious thought.

“Hmph, since you've trapped the young fellow, I don't need to do anything anymore. Quickly ask him what you want; I want to watch him die,” it uttered coldly.

As said by Blood Shadow earlier, Ou Yangming was the Phoenixes' messenger.

It would be fine if they did not make a move on him but if they did, they must uproot him without leaving any trace and loophole behind.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One was not willing to become the Phoenixes' target for revenge. The fate of Ghost-clawed and the 2 other Venerable Ones was still vivid to it. If it was not because it could benefit greatly from this, it would never want to offend Ou Yangming.

Blood Shadow nodded and stared at Ou Yangming again. Its eyes slowly turned cold, and red lines emerged from its body.

The red lines had the same origin as the blood lights, which had formed an Inescapable Trap in mid-air. They quickly gathered and moved toward Ou Yangming slowly.

Unquestionably, it would be an immense psychological pressure for one to see the bizarre red lines moving closer toward oneself. If one did not have a strong mentality, one would have already pa.s.sed out due to fear.

Even so, Ou Yangming looked oddly at the red lines. It was clear that he was nervous, but it would be too much to say that he was… Afraid.

This was because a giant head with a large mouth in his sea of consciousness was drifting excitedly at the moment. The aura that it released was so intense that it could not be suppressed by the Military Fire anymore.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming's Military Fire seemed to know the danger he was in at this crucial time, hence it did not come out to cause him trouble.

Ou Yangming's eyelids flickered. He could sense the message sent from the giant head.

When his Heavenly Phoenix Fire sensed the blood lights, it sent him a danger signal, which was an even more serious warning than when he encountered the 10,000-legged Venerable One.

On the contrary, the head sent him a different signal.

‘Food, food—delicious food!'

This was what the head felt.

Moreover, Ou Yangming could not only connect his mental conception with the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, but also the head.

Although he had tried his best to hide the head's aura, the feeling of it seeing delicious food was extremely clear to him.

How difficult would it be… To make someone afraid of one's food?

“Since you're not willing to answer my question, I'll find the answer myself. Heh, but you'll have to bear the pain when it happens.” Blood Shadow's voice could be heard.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One had a violent look in its eyes, and it was taking pleasure in Ou Yangming's misfortune. It was aware of Blood Shadow's trick, where one's sea of consciousness would be invaded by the wisps of blood. It was an even more cruel torture than being killed from a dismembered body.

This was also the reason the 10,000-legged Venerable One easily dropped the idea of punis.h.i.+ng the young human that lied to it. It wanted to watch him being more dead than alive.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and lifted his hand out of the blue. An enormous military saber appeared and slashed the blood lights in front of him.

It was a ferocious slash, by which the power and speed were close to perfect.

Having said that, both Blood Shadow and the 10,000-legged Venerable One scorned the young fellow at the same time.

If the blood lights could be destroyed so easily, Blood Shadow could not have been so famous.

A saber-light was seen slas.h.i.+ng the blood lights, but the seemingly fragile lights had only been insignificantly lowered.

Following that, almost all of the blood lights shook a little.

Ou Yangming's eyelids twitched. He could tell that the power from his saber was distributed to all of the blood lights, which was why they shook with the same frequency.

He felt a chill in his heart as he thought, ‘These blood lights are unbelievably mighty. As soon as they came into contact with my saber, they evenly distributed its power between each other.'

The young fellow came to a sudden realization at this time.

Not to mention his power, even a potent Venerable One would not be able to destroy the blood lights with brute force.

In any case, Ou Yangming was not going to give up. Perhaps under the circ.u.mstances, he could not give up nor flinch anymore.

A l.u.s.ter flashed from his hand as he released a fire.

It was his Heavenly Phoenix Fire.

This was one of Ou Yangming's greatest powers. Every time the Heavenly Phoenix Fire appeared, it could burn everything and turn the tables around.

The 10,000-legged Venerable Ones' eyes flickered, and it had a grave look on its face. It naturally understood what the fire was, thus it paid a lot of attention to it. If the blood lights were destroyed, it would attack without any hesitation. Even if it accidentally killed Ou Yangming, it would be much better than letting him escape.

That said, Blood Shadow's cold voice could be heard at this moment.

“Brother 10,000-legged, don't worry, he won't be able to get away.” Its unshakable confidence could be sensed from its voice.

“Woosh…”

Next, the fire in Ou Yangming's hand finally touched the blood lights.

Nonetheless, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, which could burn everything, disappointed him this time. The red lines drifted unsteadily in the fire, but they remained intact.

The mysterious power was the first thing that Ou Yangming found to be able to withstand his Heavenly Phoenix Fire.

Of course, the 10,000-legged Venerable One witnessed the wonderful scene. It was in disbelief. After a brief moment, it questioned, “These lines that can withstand the Heavenly Phoenix Fire—are they…” Deep down, it had an answer, but it still found it hard to believe it.

Blood Shadow looked at it and asked, “Haven't you guessed it already? Why are you still asking?”

The 10,000-legged Venerable Ones gasped. It smiled bitterly and thought, ‘Looks like I've unintentionally gotten myself involved.

‘But I'm afraid that this isn't a blessing.

‘Now that I've come so far, can I even turn back?'

The 10,000-legged Venerable One composed itself again when it saw Ou Yangming being at a loss against the blood lights that bound him.

‘Fine, fortune comes from danger—since I'm left with no choice, I'll stride forward. Who knows? I might find a way out.'

As Ou Yangming roared, a fierce fire burned around him. This was the outcome of him forcing his Heavenly Phoenix Fire out of his body to resist the blood lines that were closing in.

Even though his Heavenly Phoenix Fire could not burn the lines, they could not get close to him due to his fire. Nonetheless, releasing his fire at such a large scale was unbearable for him.

The scorching fire was suddenly curbed after 15 minutes as Ou Yangming could not go on anymore.

Subsequently, numerous blood lines quickly went inward like bloodsucking rattans, and they stuck close to Ou Yangming's body.

Ou Yangming looked like he had turned into a big red coc.o.o.n from afar. He had been wrapped up tightly such that his body could not be seen anymore.
