Chapter 20 Four Blood Pill
Without wasting any time, Ye Shaoyang and Old Guo took out an old black porcelain bowl and three bags of blood. They quickly poured the blood into the black bowl and began to stir it. Then, Ye Shaoyang whiffed the blood and asked, âThe blood from these bags are good, right?â
âOf course they are, Mongolian mastiff blood, rooster blood, and black donkey blood. I personally made sure that they were the correct blood, but isnât this useless against the undead lord?â
âOf course itâs useless. Thatâs why Iâm making a Four Blood Pill.â
These words startled Old Guo, as he had never heard of a Four blood Pill in the time he practiced Daoism. He only knew about the Three Blood Pill. Just as he was about to open his mouth and ask Ye Shaoyang about the pill, the latter suddenly gestured for silence and pointed at the door. When they looked into the dark corridor, they saw a giant figure slowly appear in the light.
Old Guoâs heart began to race. He looked toward Ye Shaoyang and witnessed the latter cutting open his middle finger and squeezing the blood into the three blood mix. Suddenly, Old Guo realized the Four Blood Pill actually just required the addition of a Heavenly Masterâs blood.
At first, Old Guo thought he would be able to learn some new skill. But he could only forget about it after he saw the required ingredient. Maoshan Sect would produce at most three and at least one Heavenly Master in one generation. So, the only way for him to produce the Four Blood Pill was to kill Ye Shaoyang. Old Guo shook his head in despair. Then, he peeped out and saw that the white-haired undead was making its way through the first of the ten red lines drawn on the floor. Xiao Ma was standing on the fifth line, so the distance between him and the undead was already less than 10 meters.
The undeadâs hair was messy and long, while short white hair also grew on its black skin. Its face was fleshless. Two particularly long and pointy fangs protruded from its mouth, and its left cheek had fallen off, revealing the black bone beneath. One could see white worms crawling in and out from all its orifices. This sight greatly disgusted Xiao Ma, but disgust was not the biggest problem, as the bigger problem was fear. Xiao Maâs face had become paler than the skin of the previous female spirit. His face was sweating profusely, and his legs were shaking terribly.
Even though he had witnessed some horrifying scenes like the disgusting and terrifying drowned undead, he had always been behind Ye Shaoyang at all those times. At most, it was like watching a 3D horror movie. But now, he had become the main character and worst yet, the bait for the undead.
Suddenly, he remembered something that Old Guo had mentioned as fear filled Xiao Maâs mind. All the people that the undead lord killed had their heads split open and their brains sucked out âŚ.
With all these fearful thoughts clouding his mind, he had already forgotten Ye Shaoyangâs instructions and yelled in a terrified voice, âHelp me, Little Ye!!â
The moment he screamed out in terror, the white-haired undead picked up his human aura. It was as though the undead lord had locked on its target. Suddenly, it began to walk faster and rushed toward Xiao Ma. While Xiao Ma stood in fear, he abruptly noticed sparks behind the white-haired undead, as it dragged a big sword along the floor. No one could possibly block that big of a sword, not even someone with the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Xiao Ma gulped the saliva in his mouth, as he became numb. It was like his body was not listening to his commands anymore.
Old Guo turned to Ye Shaoyang and told him, âI donât think your buddy can hold it together any longer.â
âThat idiot. I already told him not to make any noises,â Ye Shaoyang was still in the middle of mixing the blood and heating it on a fire. Old Guo could only watch and wait, as he knew that the pill could not be rushed or prepared in advance, as its effects would only last for ten minutes.
Suddenly, a loud bang erupted, and bright light shone out. Old Guo peeped out and saw that the white-haired undead had stepped onto the realgar and glutinous rice. It triggered the trap, and a fire flared up from the ground. The flames incinerated what little flesh the undead still possessed, which caused a black liquid to spill out from its body as it burned. The liquid evaporated into a stinky fume as soon as it left the undead. The white bugs did not tolerate the heat well, so a lot them swiftly crawled out from the undead. But as soon as they came out, they burned and burst open to expel a green juice.
Xiao Ma became even more scared, and he screamed uncontrollably, âYe Shaoyang you f*cker; you better come out and help me now! Or, Iâll run away now!â
Xiao Maâs threats did not seem to grab the attention of Ye Shaoyang. Instead, his screams caught the attention of the white-haired undead. It ignored the flames that burned on it body and quickly rushed to its preyâXiao Ma. It arrived before Xiao Ma and swiftly grabbed him by the neck and raised him up like a little chicken. It roared loudly, as it looked at the prey in its hands.
Xiao Ma felt that this undead must have thought that he was the trap setter, so he urgently pointed at the room where Ye Shaoyang was hiding. He hoped that the undead would release him and go after the real culprit. Unfortunately, the undead did not care about his explanation. Instead, it opened its mouth, and a nauseous stench hit Xiao Maâs face. He could not hold it in anymore and directly vomited on the undeadâs face. The white-haired undead roared with great anger, and he raised the big sword in its right hand. Then, he brutally swung the sword down at Xiao Ma. As the big sword descended, red lights suddenly shot out from the blood lines on the floor. The lines shot up and formed a net that wrapped the undead. Then, the net tightened and restricted the movements of the white-haired undead.
As it struggled to break through the net, the undead was forced to let go of Xiao Ma. Xiao Ma fell to the ground; the currents situation left him dumbfounded.
âWhat are you waiting for, quickly get away!â Ye Shaoyang yelled at him.
âMy ⌠my legs are not listening to me; I canât move them.â
Ye Shaoyang had no time to care about him. Instead, he quickly formed a hand seal and muttered an incantation to control the red net. Then, the red net pulled apart horizontally and ripped off a part of the undeadâs skin. This move caused more black fluid and undead Qi to shoot out. The white-haired undead dropped its sword and used both of its hands to pry at the red net. Along with a snapping sound, it broke a few of the red lines. The undead poked its head out and roared loudly. Its jaws opened wide like a shark; it was about to bite Xiao Ma.
Xiao Ma quickly crawled and ran away from the undead, and yelled at it with a trembling voice, âWhy are you targeting me? Iâm not the one that is causing your pain. If I do die, Iâll be an innocent ghost!â As he looked up at the undead, he saw the white worms and the black liquid dripping out from its mouth, which caused Xiao Ma to vomit again.
They could hear more snapping sounds as more lines broke. The white-haired undead had almost escaped the red net already. This guyâs power surprised Ye Shaoyang, as not even an enchanted net could contain it. Ye Shaoyang quickly abandoned the hand seal and pulled out a cinnabar rope and started to whip the white-haired undead. Black lines appeared on its face, as Ye Shaoyang whipped its face. Its skin cracked open, and undead Qi leaked out.
Ye Shaoyang continued to whip the undead, and its face eventually became a big mess. When he saw that the whipping had done a considerable amount of damage, Ye Shaoyang took out his jujube wood sword and wiped some of his blood onto it. Then, he started to chat the âUndead Destroyingâ Incantation and thrust his wooden sword toward the undeadâs chest. Meanwhile, he held the Four Blood Pill in his other hand. He planned to shove the pill into the undeadâs mouth after he stabbed its chest.
However, things did not always go as planned. The moment Ye Shaoyangâs wood sword struck the undead, it hit something hard. Something had blocked the wooden sword from piercing the undead. Ye Shaoyang was surprised. Then, he noticed a layer of metal armor under its graveclothes!
