Xue Mo rushed through the golden door and arrived at the fighting ring for the trial.
Above the ring, in the clouds, Su Mo smirked when he saw Xue Mo.
“Xue Mo, you’ll die today!”
Su Mo’s eyes glinted with a chilling light as his killing desire soared.
He then sent a telepathic command to the puppets below.
These puppets were now under Su Mo’s complete control. However, they were low-grade puppets with no intelligence, unlike Gold One and Stone One.
At the fighting ring.
Meanwhile, a puppet had dashed onto the ring as soon as Xue Mo had landed.
Xue Mo’s face turned grim instantly when he discovered the puppet’s strength.
This was because the Teal Stone Puppet that came into the fighting ring was at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm.
“How’s this possible?” Xue Mo exclaimed in surprise.
Xue Mo was so surpised that he exclaimed aloud.
Since Xue Mo was at Lv 9 True Spirit Realm, the three puppets that would be going against him should have been at Lv 9 True Spirit Realm, a half step to the Enlightenment Realm, and Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm.
However, his first battle was already against a puppet at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm. He was stunned.
“What the hell? No one could pass a trial of this difficulty!” Xue Mo shouted angrily as rage consumed him.
Xue Mo was overwhelmed with anger and roared his frustration. His blood-red long hair flapped in the wind as his entire body was consumed with blood Qi.
Xue Mo had no time to think. The Teal Stone Puppet at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm had started attacking him violently right after it entered the ring.
Its invincible fist radiance rained down on Xue Mo with a violent and destructive force.
“Real Body of Blood Demon!”
With a roar, bloody light burst from his body, and a gigantic bloody shadow appeared above Xue Mo.
The bloody shadow was 16 meters tall, dwarfing the Teal Stone Puppet. It shrouded Xue Mo completely.
Xue Mo’s aura sky-rocketed, and an endless amount of blood Qi shot into the sky, painting it red.
However, after using the Real Body of Blood Demon, Xue Mo’s body grew visibly thinner and became bony in an instant.
“Bloody Demonic Claw!”
Xue Mo struck at the incoming attack with his claw.
Boom!
The attacks collided with a deafening bang and shattered the surrounding air. Terrifying shockwaves propagated in all directions.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Xue Mo was forced back dozens of steps, but he successfully blocked the puppet’s attack and remained unharmed.
In the sky, Su Mo squinted his eyes. He had underestimated Xue Mo and was astonished that he was more powerful than he expected.
At only a cultivation at peak of Lv 9 True Spirit Realm, Xue Mo had managed to hold his ground against the Teal Stone Puppet of Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm!
Su Mo turned grim as he realized that Xue Mo had not used his full strength during their fight earlier. However, he had obviously just activated a powerful secret method, and it seemed to have certain drawbacks.
In the fighting ring below, the puppet struck again after its previous blow failed to take down Xue Mo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Its fists were heavy as a mountain, each strike stronger than the one came before. The fist radiance lit up the entire fighting ring.
Although he had activated a secret method which tremendously increased his combat strength, Xue Mo was suppressed by the puppet and pushed to the edge of defeat.
After all, the difference in their cultivation was too big. There was a world of difference between the True Spirit Realm and the Enlightenment Realm.
Dozens of moves later, Xue Mo was spurting blood and suffering severe injuries.
Boom!
The puppet dealt another raging punch with such enormous force that Xue Mo feared for his life. There was no way he could win against a puppet at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm.
He wanted to evade the attack, but the puppet’s powerful fist seemed to have locked on him and froze the surrounding air. There was no way he could dodge it in time.
“Pow!”
At the critical moment, the Real Body of Blood Demon left Xue Mo’s body and headed straight for the puppet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Real Body of Blood Demon blew itself up. The entire fighting ring was filled with endless bloody light and devastating shockwaves spread in all directions.
The puppet was thrown a hundred meters away.
After blowing up the Real Body of Blood Demon, Xue Mo’s aura weakened tremendously.
He turned pale from frustration as he knew that he could not defeat the puppet.
Having blown up the Real Body of Blood Demon, his strength would decrease by 50%. He needed Qi blood to recover his strength.
Swish!
Xue Mo swiftly knocked back from the fighting ring.
“Damn it! This trial was not meant to be passed!”
Xue Mo shouted his anger. This kind of trial was simply unsurmountable! It was no wonder that so many had failed to complete it.
At this instant, a figure suddenly descended behind Xue Mo.
“Indeed, it’s not meant to be passed!”
A cold voice sounded behind Xue Mo.
“Who is it?”
Xue Mo turned around and spotted Su Mo.
He was startled and confused to see Su Mo.
Xue Mo soon snapped out of his daze.
“Su Mo, how did you get here?”
Like the others, this question was his first response to Su Mo’s appearance.
“I’m here to kill you!” Su Mo said coldly.
“Haha! Kill me? What a joke!”
Xue Mo was shocked, but soon, a big smile appeared on his face as he said, “Since I’m injured, I’ll suck your blood essence to heal myself!”
His gaze was cold with a hint of disdain.
“Suck my blood essence?”
Su Mo was scornful. “Xue Mo, since you are skilled in sucking blood, we shall find out who’ll suck the other dry!”
“Oh?”
Xue Mo was surprised, and he took a good look at Su Mo before saying sarcastically, “You’ve cultivated blood-sucking martial arts as well? Given your powerlessness, you’ll just become my victim!”
Xue Mo bolted toward Su Mo. Since he had failed the test and would be transported out any minute now, he had to finish Su Mo off quickly.
“Bloody Demonic Claw!”
His bloody claw reached out for Su Mo like an evil claw from hell.
“Xue Mo, you’re the real victim!”
Su Mo sneered and activated his Devouring Martial Soul. Its devouring power soon shrouded Xue Mo.
Xue Mo’s stopped moving instantly. Since he was already severely wounded, his blood started to flow profusely from his body. He could not stop spurting out blood.
“What’s going on?” Xue Mo shouted in horror.
“Xue Mo, your Cold-blood Hall’s method of sucking blood is outdated!”
Su Mo laughed and exerted his Devouring Martial Soul, “Devour!”
Xue Mo’s body was already thin, since he had already used up half of his blood to activate Real Body of Blood Demon. Faced with the onslaught of the devouring power, almost all of his remaining blood essence was depleted in the span of two breaths.
“No!”
Xue Mo was extremely frightened, as he was about to be sucked dry.
At this moment, a glaring light suddenly burst from between Xue Mo’s brows, and a figure appeared.
This person was tall and majestic, and an unopposable might was unleashed with his appearance.
“How dare you!”
The figure’s yell reverberated through the surroundings.
