Chapter 378: The Oriole and the Hunter
Using the Golden Sun Divine Lotus to trap Huang Xuanzhi for a brief moment was an idea Liu Bai had suddenly come up with.
But now it seemed the effect was quite good. Due to his carelessness, Huang Xuanzhi was directly caught, and it would not be easy for him to break free in a short time.
"Kong Ling'er, activate the grand array!"
After succeeding with one strike, Liu Bai immediately shouted loudly.
The three of them were instantly overjoyed upon seeing this. Kong Ling'er hurriedly formed hand seals, and the previously hidden Void Spiritual Array suddenly erupted, directly enveloping the Golden Sun Divine Lotus within the grand array.
It was also at this moment that the trapped Huang Xuanzhi finally broke free. However, just as he was trying his utmost to rush out of the Array's range, the grand array had already completely sealed shut.
"Hahaha, we succeeded!"
The Void Spiritual Array fully activated. Violent spatial passages tore open within it, and Huang Xuanzhi's figure was directly sucked inside. However, before disappearing, everyone could feel Huang Xuanzhi's icy gaze sweeping across them.
Naturally, Liu Bai did not care.
Kong Ling'er and the other two also no longer showed the same fear as before. Clearly, they possessed great confidence in this Void Spiritual Array.
"Now only the Quasi Saint Grade Blood Spirit Beast remains!"
Kong Ling'er reverted to human form and spoke with visible excitement.
"So tell me do you think a Quasi Saint Blood Essence would be better, or a Saint Grade one?" Liu Bai asked calmly.
"Of course Saint Grade!"
A gleam flashed through Kong Ling'er's eyes as she replied.
"So you had already prepared in advance?"
Kong Ling'er did not answer. Instead, she waved her hand and released several massive Blood Essences. At the same time, Lin Cang and Xiao Tian did the same.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bai raised his brows. So these three had already gathered a large number of Blood Essences from the surrounding area, and all of these Blood Essences had been tampered with. They had been waiting for the Quasi Saint Blood Spirit Beast to devour them, complete its breakthrough, and then suffer a devastating backlash in one stroke!
No wonder they had appeared so confident after trapping Huang Xuanzhi. They had already prepared a method to deal with this Blood Spirit Beast.
"Impressive!"
Even Liu Bai could not help but praise Kong Ling'er's scheming.
But this also made him understand that a woman so skilled in calculations would never willingly allow him to take the larger share. There was no need to guess that problems would definitely arise among these three afterward.
Of course, their goal had not yet been achieved, so all four maintained superficial harmony. Kong Ling'er and the others directly fed the Blood Essences to the Quasi Saint Blood Spirit Beast.
The latter instinctively devoured all of them, and its aura immediately began rapidly increasing.
Finally, the Blood Spirit Beast's aura reached the limit of Immortal Grade, and it was on the verge of breaking through into Saint Grade. Yet at this moment, Kong Ling'er suddenly spoke.
"We cannot let it continue any further. Otherwise, we will not be able to subdue it at all!"
Liu Bai frowned. He naturally was unwilling to simply give up like this.
"Use your three blood essences as catalysts to help it break through. At the final moment, detonate both the blood essence and the hidden methods you prepared beforehand. Can you heavily injure it for a short time?"
Kong Ling'er and the other two immediately brightened upon hearing this. Although doing so would cause some harm to themselves, the method indeed had significant feasibility.
"It can work. But after it reaches Saint Grade, no one knows how strong it will become. Are you confident you can suppress it?"
"Seventy percent confidence."
Liu Bai did not speak too absolutely and simply gave an answer.
The three exchanged struggling looks, but in the end, determination replaced hesitation.
"Fine, we will do as you say!" Kong Ling'er gritted her teeth and agreed.
Then, without hesitation, she spat out a cluster of nine colored blood light, which was precisely a drop of super divine beast essence blood from her Nine Colored Peacock.
Similarly, Lin Cang and Xiao Tian made the same choice, each releasing their own essence blood and allowing it to merge into the Blood Spirit Beast.
Finally, under the guidance of the essence blood from the three super divine beasts, the Blood Spirit Beast's aura seemed to break through a certain shackle. Instantly, the entire Divine Transformation Pool space began violently trembling.
"Move!"
Seeing this, Liu Bai immediately shouted.
Kong Ling'er and the others did not hesitate at all. Their hand seals abruptly changed.
Boom! Boom!
As their seals shifted, violent explosions suddenly erupted from within the Blood Spirit Beast's body. The hidden traps concealed within the Blood Essences were all triggered at this moment.
The internal explosions immediately interrupted the beast's continued transformation. It let out painful howls, while the powerful blood energy fluctuations around it began weakening at an astonishing speed. Clearly, it had suffered severe injuries.
"Detonate the essence blood as well!" Kong Ling'er immediately said again.
The essence blood from before had not yet been completely refined by the Blood Spirit Beast. Thus, relying on that faint connection, they fiercely activated the soul threads hidden within the essence blood.
Boom!
Three more deep explosions resounded from within the Blood Spirit Beast. This time, the beast was completely heavily injured. Its enormous body shrank several times over. It seemed to sense danger and actually fled rapidly into the distance.
Liu Bai had long been prepared, so naturally he would not allow it to escape. His hand seals immediately activated!
Buzz!
Five gigantic figures towered between heaven and earth. Chains of the Five Elements shot forth from the hands of these colossal statues, directly locking the Blood Spirit Beast firmly in place.
"Five Emperors Heaven Seal!"
Without any hesitation, Liu Bai directly displayed the powerful sealing ability of his Five Emperors Celestial Body.
This scene not only sealed the Blood Spirit Beast, but also caused Kong Ling'er and the other two to reveal shocked expressions as fear quietly arose within their hearts.
Liu Bai paid no attention to them. At this moment, the Blood Spirit Beast continuously weakened, and finally its enormous body exploded within the Heaven Seal. What remained was only a ten zhang large black blood pellet, floating before everyone like a physical object.
Looking at this Blood Essence Saint Pellet that had already stepped into the edge of Saint Grade, everyone present, including Liu Bai, could not help swallowing hard.
The excitement lasted for quite a while before everyone gradually calmed down. Liu Bai was the first to smile.
"Let us distribute it quickly. According to what we agreed before, do any of you have objections?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Ling'er and the others all felt somewhat pained. After all, that was forty percent of the blood pellet. The blood energy contained within was enough for any one of them to easily break through into Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
However, although it hurt, after witnessing Liu Bai's astonishing methods earlier, none of them dared turn hostile or go back on their word. They could only reluctantly nod.
Seeing this, Liu Bai did not stand on ceremony. He clasped his hands together, and Five Elements spiritual energy directly formed a five colored vortex. Terrifying suction erupted forth, causing the blood pellet to tremble as streams of blood energy roared out and poured into the vortex.
Kong Ling'er and the others also hurriedly used their own methods to draw out the boundless blood energy from within the blood pellet.
The extraction lasted for half an hour before the four gradually stopped. At this moment, a black blood pellet overflowing with blood energy floated before each of them.
However, compared to the one before Liu Bai, the blood pellets before the other three were less than half its size!
This scene made the three feel even worse, but when they glanced at the five colossal statues in the sky that still had not disappeared, they wisely chose not to say anything. Instead, they quickly bid farewell to Liu Bai and departed.
Yet Liu Bai did not move. He merely silently watched as the figures of the three grew farther and farther away, until they were nearly out of sight.
What he did not know was that Kong Ling'er and the others were also maintaining constant vigilance. They too feared that Liu Bai might suddenly attack them. Judging from the earlier situation, if Liu Bai truly harbored ill intentions toward them, they likely would not possess much power to resist.
However, they had forgotten that aside from Liu Bai, there was an even greater threat nearby Or perhaps they had thought of it, but simply did not believe that person could escape the restraints of the Void Spiritual Array.
And it was precisely this miscalculation that directly turned the three into clowns before everyone's eyes.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A burst of light applause suddenly entered the ears of the three. Soon after, a voice carrying mockery slowly rang out.
"Not bad, not bad. You really let me watch quite an entertaining show."
Kong Ling'er and the other two, who were rapidly fleeing, were all startled. They immediately halted their movements and looked ahead.
A tall figure radiating endless pressure condensed out of the seawater. It was clearly Huang Xuanzhi, who should have been trapped inside the Void Spiritual Array!
"Huang Xuanzhi! How can it be you? H how did you escape from the Void Spiritual Array?!" Kong Ling'er's pretty face turned pale green as she cried out in disbelief.
"I did not escape. That spiritual array truly was rather troublesome. If I had really fallen into it, escaping would indeed have required some effort." Huang Xuanzhi smiled faintly. "Unfortunately, the one you trapped inside the spiritual array was merely one of my spiritual energy incarnations."
"What?!" The pupils of the three shrank simultaneously. The one they had painstakingly trapped inside the Void Spiritual Array had actually only been one of Huang Xuanzhi's spiritual energy incarnations?!
"That spiritual energy incarnation was not as simple as you imagined. It was refined using my phoenix feathers fused with essence blood and possessed fifty percent of my strength."
Huang Xuanzhi spoke smilingly. His gaze swept across the three, and that casual look caused Kong Ling'er and the others to feel chilled to the bone.
"Run!"
Kong Ling'er's face turned pale. She suddenly shouted angrily, transformed into her Nine Colored Peacock true form, erupted with spiritual energy, and tore through the seawater in an attempt to flee toward the outside of the Divine Transformation Pool.
As for the other two, they could only pray for their own survival.
"Hehe, if I let you all escape just like this, would that not invite ridicule from others?"
Huang Xuanzhi smiled indifferently. He did not place the three scattered fugitives in his eyes at all.
As his voice fell, three streaks of golden light split apart from his body. In the blink of an eye, one of them had already caught up to Kong Ling'er, who had fled first. It then transformed into a gigantic golden phoenix and enveloped her.
Toward these three, Huang Xuanzhi had never truly paid attention. From beginning to end, his only target had been Liu Bai.
When he returned to the previous battlefield and looked at Liu Bai still standing there, or more accurately, the five colossal statues standing within the sea, Huang Xuanzhi's expression gradually became solemn.
"You knew I was not trapped?"
"I only knew you would not be trapped so easily."
At this moment, Huang Xuanzhi no longer possessed any contempt toward Liu Bai. Whether it was the golden lotus from earlier or the five colossal statues before him now, both had given him a significant sense of danger.
Liu Bai looked at this "oriole" before him and smiled faintly.
"So, what do you think? Which one of us will become the final hunter?"
Huang Xuanzhi did not answer. Instead, three streaks of golden light flew over from afar. As the golden light descended, three miserable figures appeared before the two.
Those three figures were naturally Kong Ling'er and the others, but at this moment, all of them were pale faced with weakened spiritual energy. Clearly, they had suffered severe injuries.
"What do you think?" Huang Xuanzhi looked at the three ahead of him. With a wave of his hand, three blood pellets flew out from their bodies and gathered before him into a single blood pellet even larger than the one in Liu Bai's possession.
Liu Bai looked at this even larger blood pellet, and a gleam flashed through his eyes.
"I still have considerable confidence in myself."
Huang Xuanzhi smiled as well. His noble and imposing face revealed a proud smile.
"Then how about we make a wager?"
"What is the stake?"
"How about using these blood pellets?"
"Then you would suffer a loss…"
Liu Bai smiled lightly.
His side only possessed forty percent, while Huang Xuanzhi possessed sixty percent.
In truth, whether it was Liu Bai's forty percent or Huang Xuanzhi's sixty percent, both were more than enough for their use.
After all, this was Saint Grade Blood Essence. Even one tenth of it would surpass an Immortal Grade Blood Essence!
Unfortunately, two confident people both wanted everything. Thus, this battle that seemingly had no necessity became unavoidable.
"It does not matter. I do not mind." Huang Xuanzhi waved his hand. "However, if you lose, what you lose will probably not only be this forty percent of the blood pellet."
Clearly, if Liu Bai lost, then with Huang Xuanzhi's temperament, he would immediately move against Jiu You. That was why he said such words.
"Relax, you will not succeed."
Silence fell between the two.
At this moment, even Kong Ling'er and the others on the ground could not help holding their breaths.
Crash crash!
Waves surged through the emerald seabed as Huang Xuanzhi folded his arms across his chest and slowly rose into the air. Golden phoenix wings spread behind him, and each flap caused seawater to surge wildly, raising towering waves tens of thousands of feet high.
An indescribably powerful pressure spread out from within his body, enveloping a radius of thousands of miles.
Under this pressure, Kong Ling'er and the other two felt as though mountains were pressing upon them, rendering them completely unable to move.
Liu Bai's robes fluttered violently. Spiritual light condensed across his body as his flesh instantly transformed into a dazzling spiritual body, appearing as though cast from gemstones, indestructible and invincible.
Clank clank clank…
The gigantic Five Elements chains in the hands of the Five Emperors Divine Statues spread outward and directly wrapped toward Huang Xuanzhi.
"Hehe, the Five Elements power of the Five Emperors Divine Sovereign is indeed formidable. But I possess the body of a True Phoenix, beyond the Five Elements. You wish to suppress me with Five Elements power? Pure wishful thinking!"
Huang Xuanzhi sneered. Then, a phoenix cry that shook the soul burst from his mouth. A gigantic golden phoenix phantom expanded outward from his body and directly blocked the tightening Five Elements chains, preventing them from advancing even an inch.
