Chapter 116: Blood Venerate’s heart reading technique

“Peng!”

A heavy fist fell onto the black turtle shell and instantly shattered it. Suddenly an explosive force smashed against the gourd wall and Lin Mu Yu was blasted against the wall.

A single fist from Scarlet Ghost already had enough strength to break through Lin Mu Yu’s defenses.

“Xiu!”

The lightning covered prairie sword attacked back, aiming right for Scarlet Ghost’s eyes.

Scarlet Ghost gave a low roar, then gathered his hands together. He used them to catch the lightning covered prairie sword.

Lin Mu Yu saw the situation was bad so he quickly reacted. His left hand punched upwards and a blood red energy condensed around it. First Luminary, Mortal Coil!

“Peng!”

Scarlet Ghost’s body trembled and the battle qi protecting his body scattered. He couldn’t block the Seven Luminaries Mystic Art attack, but his hands were still firmly grasped on the prairie sword.

Lin Mu Yu released the handle of the sword and opened his palm, releasing the fire imperial sword! The prairie sword began to tremble and then it began to rotate, forming streaks of true dragon flame around it. Immediately, the skin on Scarlet Ghost’s palms were minced and he could no longer hold onto the sword.

“Scared!?”

The once famous king of mercenaries had actually let go of the prairie sword. He looked at Lin Mu Yu with a surprised expression, but he did not say anything as his fist heavily slammed against the prairie sword’s blade.

“Dang!”

It really was a hard fist, it actually knocked away the spinning prairie sword. That fist fell onto Lin Mu Yu’s chest and with a “pu” sound, Lin Mu Yu stepped back while vomiting out blood. The battle qi inside his body was already running out, he had no energy left to fight back.

Scarlet Ghost’s body was surrounded by flames as he looked at Lin Mu Yu with a proud expression. He lightly said, “This old man’s been famous for over fifty years now. I have long stepped into the Heaven Realm third tier and have seen all kinds of enemies. I have lived in this Heaven Connecting Tower for over ten years, yet you are the only one who has been able to injure me. Hei, should I kill you or spare you today?”

Lin Mu Yu was a very “staunch” young man. He reached inside his chest and pulled out several diamond coins, then he said, “Take this money and let me live! I’m leaving the Heaven Connecting Tower in twenty days, we should just go our separate ways. Otherwise, I’ll risk it all to fight you. We have no grudges or hatred between us, we have no reason to fight to the death!”

He was very clear on the situation. Scarlet Ghost was at least level eighty since he was at the Heaven Realm third tier. His cultivation was close to the Sacred Realm and he was probably even more terrifying than Xiang Yu. There was no strategy that would ensure victory against an enemy like this, especially since he hadn’t mastered the Seven Luminary Mystic Art Third Luminary yet, so he could not put up fight.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha…….”

Scarlet Ghost raised his head and broke out in laughter. His manner was full of contempt and viciousness. His eyes swept over Lin Mu Yu as he said, “Little brat, you’re a very interesting person, but the Blood Venerate declared that those who enter the Heaven Connecting Tower must all follow him or die. Choose your path now!”

“How does one follow him?”

“Follow me to the third floor.”

“Third floor?” Lin Mu Yu’s slanted brows knit together and he said, “What if I don’t want to go?”

“No problem, you will go.”

Scarlet Ghost’s lips turned into a strange smile. He suddenly reached out his palm and gave a low roar, then a roaring flame appeared around him. With a “hua la” sound, a flame emerged and surged all around him, burning the surroundings!

Lin Mu Yu quickly stepped back and the gourd wall appeared around his body. It perfectly protected him and made sure he had no injuries. However, Lin Mu Yu had a kind of wishing he was dead feeling in his heart because the bag of dried rations in the corner had been burned to ashes. The pancakes had been completely burned to ashes, what would he eat now?

As he loudly laughed, Scarlet Ghost jumped onto the stone stairs and said, “The third floor has food. If you’re not afraid of death, follow me then!”

His figure flashed as he disappeared into the darkness.

The oil lamps burnt out and the entire first floor was plunged into darkness.

Lin Mu Yu stood there clenching his teeth. First, his water bottles had been destroyed by the Piercing Demon and now his food had been burnt by Scarlet Ghost. Did the Blood Venerate really want him to go to the third floor?

To go or not to go, that is the question.

If he went, his fate would be unclear. If he didn’t go, he would eventually starve to death. There were imperial guards outside guarding the Heaven Connecting Tower, but they were a li away, so they wouldn’t hear him no matter how he called them. Moreover, the ruler had already ordered that no matter what happens, no one was allowed to help him. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be considered being exiled into the Heaven Connecting Tower.

As he was sitting down, his stomach already made “gu, gu” sounds.

Lin Mu Yu knit his brows, he would become even hungrier. Slowly his body would become weaker and have less battle qi. If it was going to be like this, it would be better to go to the third floor and see what the Blood Venerate wanted. Moreover, the earlier he went, the stronger he was, so he made his decision.

Sitting cross legged on the floor, he revolved the Dragon Forged Bone Tome seventy two times and recovered his strength and battle qi to peak conditions. Now that he could use the First and Second Luminary several times, it was time to go!

With the prairie sword in his hand, he gently released his power and the long sword was covered in red flames that lit up the surroundings. It was also almost daybreak.

“Sha, sha……”

He slowly ascended to the second floor. It was just as quiet as before and in the distance there were skeletons lying on the ground. He passed through the room and walked in front of the stairs to the third floor. However, to enter the third floor, he had to pass through the blood red barrier. He released his Spiritual Pulse Technique, but he could only sense things up to two meters away.

Lin Mu Yu flicked the sword and the fire imperial sword technique was released. Immediately, true dragon flames surrounded the sword as he shot the dragon flame spiral forward!

“Peng!”

The strong true dragon power created a large hole on the barrier. He would have prefered not to follow the prairie sword into the third floor. The gourd wall covered his body and he entered into his peak battle condition.

A glow appeared in front of him, it was a lantern being lit on the third floor. Scarlet Ghost had his arms crossed as he laughed and looked at him, “Little brat, you’ve finally come!”

Lin Mu Yu’s eyes were cold, “Scarlet Ghost, what are you playing at? Where is the Blood Venerate?”

“I’m right here.”

A gentle voice rang out from behind him and in the next moment, Lin Mu Yu could not move his body. A tyrannical strength had already enveloped him. It was a Saint Realm Expert!

“Pa…..pa……”

Streaks of battle qi began to surround his body, just like a white pear flower blooming. Lin Mu Yu tried desperately to break out of the paralysis, he even released the true dragon flames, but they were no use. He clenched his teeth and gave an angry roar as he released the First Luminary. Suddenly, the vigorous power of the Seven Luminary Mystic Arts filled his meridians and destroyed half the power that was holding him in place.

He slowly turned around and he looked over at the Blood Venerate. He found that the Blood Venerate was wearing a blood red robe and was sitting on top of a black bear. He……He didn’t have any legs!

“What, is it that strange?”

The Blood Venerate removed his cloak and revealed his old face. His eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes, seemingly able to read through Lin Mu Yu’s thoughts. He smiled and said, “What kind of monster did you think I was?”

Lin Mu Yu looked at the black bear beneath the Blood Venerate. It had a very large body, making it look just like a tank. Moreover, there were twelve gold lines and eight silver lines on its head, meaning this black bear was an 12800 year old spirit beast. This Blood Venerate was not a normal person, he could actually control spirit beasts over ten thousand years old?

“I caught Xiao He seventy years ago in the Dragon Seeking Forest.” The Blood Venerate rubbed the black bear’s head with his old hand. He smiled and said, “He is very obedient. When I met him, that Qin Jin brat had not even been born yet. Now he’s actually sitting on the throne and has made countless changes to the continent over the decades. But the fact that the Qin family could sit on the throne, it is hard to understand how it happened!”

Lin Mu Yu knit his brows. He inwardly thought that Qin Jin could be considered a generous ruler and his successor Qin Yin was a good girl. It was better for the Qin family to rule compared to anyone else.

“It seems like you’re quite taken by Qin Yin already.”

The Blood Venerate’s eagle eyes stared at Lin Mu Yu, almost as if he could see through his thoughts. His voice was trembling as he smiled and said, “Love has been fraught with worries since ancient times. Little brat, love is a double edged sword, if you get involved, the one being hurt will be you. Being a true man with an indomitable spirit, being a true warrior, and leaving countless immortal deeds, that is what you should be doing!”

“Who are you?” Lin Mu Yu shouted in a low voice, “How can you read my mind?!”

He desperately gathered his mind, he could not keep revealing his deepest thoughts. At the same time, he released the Spiritual Pulse Technique, immediately a mysterious spiritual energy covered his body. Deep down in his sea of consciousness, the Spiritual Pulse Technique found a kind of external spiritual energy, it seemed to be the Blood Venerate’s heart reading technique. And right at this moment, the Blood Venerate’s spiritual energy launched an attack on his sea of consciousness.

The waves in his sea of consciousness began to rise, the Blood Venerate’s spiritual energy began to create a storm inside his sea of consciousness. These waves seemed like they were bewitched into soaring into the sky, as if they wanted to seize his entire consciousness. Once his sea of consciousness was taken over by the Blood Venerate, what would that mean? Perhaps, he would be entirely controlled by him!

Lin Mu Yu quickly sent his own spiritual sense into his sea of consciousness and instantly he appeared in his own sea of consciousness. He was wearing the temple battle dress and wielding the prairie sword just like before. He raised his palm and released his battle qi, which instantly began to fight with the giant waves. After all, this was his sea of consciousness, this all belonged to him.

But the Blood Venerate was not going to give up that easily. Invisible spiritual energy provoked the wave into launching a second attack, moreover, this attack was even stronger than before!

Lin Mu Yu flew into the sky of his sea of consciousness. He clenched his teeth and raised his arm with an angry roar. He loudly shouted, “Second Luminary, Demonic Dance!”

Streams of demonic energy surrounded the sword. The prairie sword transformed into a very long sword and chopped down with the angry power of the Second Luminary Demonic Dance. With a “peng” sound, it crashed against the wave, forcefully scattering the Blood Venerate’s spiritual energy. The power of this Second Luminary Demonic Dance was stronger than usual, almost as if the Seven Luminary Demon King was enraged. After all, this place could be considered his home and now there was actually someone that dared to intrude, how could he accept that?!

Imperceptibly, this was the first time Lin Mu Yu and the Seven Luminary Demon King worked together…….
