Chapter 265
Without any warning sign, a sandstorm swept across the battlefield .
The surroundings suddenly darkened and everything seemed to be spinning . This caused the blood elementalists that were charging toward Ai Hui to lose their sense of direction .
What was going on?
The four elementalists turned pale with fright . Their communication link with Tian Kuan had been completely cut off . Right now, they felt as if they were in a desert where sand was endlessly blowing everywhere .
In other people’s eyes, the battlefield had become extremely weird . The sandstorm swirled around the four elementalists, blinding their vision . This caused them to move clumsily and looked extremely hilarious .
Tian Kuan’s eyes widened as his facial expression changed drastically .
How could a sand puppet have such a technique? This was a blood elementalist’s technique by right!
Elementalists used elemental energy, so their attacks were actually variations of elemental energy . Blood elementalists were different . Blood spiritual force was an energy that lay between spiritual force and elemental energy . It was about tempering the mind and using the body as a vessel to contain it .
If one described what the elementalists practiced as fullness, then what blood elementalists practiced could be described as emptiness . Blood elementalists were specialized in illusion-related techniques . Since they also specialized in tempering their minds, they also had an extremely strong resistance against illusion-techniques .
All four blood elementalists had fallen into the trap . Could the person that set off the sandstorm be some kind of elite from the organization?
If that was the case, how would Tian Kuan not feel shocked and afraid?
Similarly, the red-dressed girl, who was watching the battle from afar, was flabbergasted as well . Bewilderment could be seen in her eyes . That technique was a typical blood elementalist’s technique . Why would it appear in this place?
Her gaze then shifted to the spot where Ai Hui’s sand puppet had been standing just now . Surprisingly, that spot was empty .
A sand puppet that knew how to execute a blood elementalist’s technique?
Previously, the red-dressed girl knew something was unusual about the sand puppet, but she could not put her finger on it . It was not until now that she was truly shocked .
It was already weird for a metal elementalist to bring along a sand puppet . It was even more weird that the sand puppet knew how to use a blood elementalist’s technique…
She looked at the motionless Ai Hui and felt intrigued by him . This fellow seemed to have a lot of enigma to him .
"I hope you don’t die too early . " The red-dressed girl’s mouth curled into a smile .
A wisp of sand blew past Ai Hui’s ears .
"Ai Hui, Lou Lan can only last for three minutes . "
Lou Lan’s voice rang across Ai Hui’s ears before the wisp of sand disappeared .
Three minutes .
Ai Hui remained calm, looking as if he had not heard what Lou Lan said . The sword in his hand did not stop moving at all . Looking at him now, other people would have thought that he was resisting the blood demon, but no one knew that he was actually feeling out the blood demon instead of resisting it .
The Cultivation Era had long passed, ancient books had decayed, and inheritances were destroyed . No longer relevant in the current times, the legacy of the old world had changed beyond recognition .
But why the Blood of God?
It was because the Blood of God not only wanted to revive the glory of the Cultivation Era and inherit the wealth from that era, but they also wanted to transform the ancient powers and create new powers . The Blood of God was ambitious . To them, the practice of blood refinement from the Cultivation Era and the wood elementalists from the Avalon of Five Elements were their soil and nourishment, respectively . They had long since made up their minds to create something of their own .
Initially, Ai Hui thought that the God of Blood’s objective was to overturn the Avalon of Five Elements . However, as time passed, his way of thinking changed . He felt that the God of Blood not only wanted to topple the Avalon of Five Elements, they also wanted to establish their own empire and start their own era . There might even be a possibility that they wanted to establish an era that lasted for millions of years like the Cultivation Era .
Ai Hui did not know why he would think this way, but he definitely felt strongly about it .
Was the blood elementalist’s blood demon similar to the one mentioned in those swordplay manuals? Ai Hui did not know, so there was therefore nothing better than experiencing it for himself .
At this moment, Ai Hui was abnormally calm . He was trying out different methods to test the blood demon’s reaction .
The aura of chilliness was an important characteristic of the blood demon . It was not a typical chill . Extremely bone-piercing, it resembled the cold wind that rushed from the depths of an ice cavern, . It had already been verified that elemental energy was useless in expelling the blood demon . Initially, Ai Hui thought the blood demon could devour elemental energy . However, after studying it for some time, he discovered that it actually corroded elemental energy . After being corroded by the blood demon, elemental energy would lose its vitality and become uncontrollable .
To an elementalist, this unique characteristic of the blood demon was extremely dangerous and deadly .
It was obvious that the human body had no resistance against blood demons . Even a tempered body could not stop a blood demon from invading it . Ai Hui, however, discovered something peculiar—the blood demon actually reminded him of the sword embryo . However, instead of possessing the blood demon’s aura of chilliness, the sword embryo possessed a razor-sharp aura .
Ai Hui seemed to realize something .
The sword embryo was formed by essence, breath, and spirit . Could the blood demon be formed by something like these as well?
Those swordplay manuals had mentioned that demons were formed by nine spirits . The two words "nine spirits" were far too vague for Ai Hui to make any sense out of them . On the contrary, he knew more about essence, breath, and spirit as he had nurtured a sword embryo before .
It was a pity that the manual was worn-out and did not contain complete information on the sword embryo . As such, there were a lot of areas that he did not really understand .
He noted down this observation as he felt it would be a good starting point for him .
Blood demons loved the presence of vitality . From Ai Hui’s conjecture, if a wood elementalist was to encounter a blood demon, it would be a headache for him or her . Among the five types of elementalists, the one that was most unafraid of the blood demon would be a fire elementalist . The scorching flames in a fire elementalist’s body were the bane of the ice-cold blood demon . On the contrary, the vitality within a wood elementalist’s body was nourishment for the blood demon .
It was about time!
Ai Hui opened his eyes, straightened his back, and swung the Dragonspine in his hand upward . Suddenly, a formidable aura erupted from Ai Hui’s body in all directions!
Seven daggers floated around him . The tip of his sword was pointed up at sky, remaining motionless .
Like a sword that had been unsheathed, a biting-cold sword glow froze the surrounding air .
At this point in time, Tian Kuan, who had been contemplating whether or not he should personally take action, looked at Ai Hui dumbfounded . The nightmare-like memory had flowed through his mind like a flash flood .
