Chapter 145: Surrounded
The higher the grade of a blood core, the more qi it can infuse into the blood. The strength of one’s bones and flesh depends on the type of body cultivation one practices. Usually, they are fixed according to whatever grade the cultivator was.
The only thing that changes at the cultivator’s whim is blood qi. They can use more or less depending on the situation to increase or decrease their strength.
Till now, Jiang Hao had used so much blood qi that it was about time he would have exhausted it, and it was evident from his decreasing strength and speed.
Now all they had to do was wait for him to use his spirit qi as well. Some more deaths were inevitable, but since they had come this far and half the work was done, they wouldn’t give up now.
He might already be in his twilight years. Maybe they didn’t even need to wait for his qi to exhaust.
When Ming Yue saw that Jiang Hao was acting on purpose, how could she stay out of it?
"Junior brother, you seem exhausted. I am coming to help you."
Jiang Hao was speechless inwardly. Even knowing that she was just doing this to increase the effect of what he was trying to portray, he couldn’t tell if she was genuine or not. Her acting was truly superb with that expressive voice.
He was about to reply but stopped himself and used qi to make his voice heavy, to sound more like an old man.
"You don’t have to worry, Senior Sister. I can still go on."
Ming Yue had also heard about their hypothesis of them getting older, so she wasn’t surprised.
