Chapter 18: Great virtue? Golden flowers cascading?
Chu Xuan cast a fleeting glance at the receding figures, then turned his attention to more pressing matters—the activation of the Blood Refining Array.
He ascended on his flying sword to midair and gazed down upon the zombies clustered within the unfinished building like headless flies, and activated the array disc.
A peculiar blood light burst forth from eighteen points, swiftly engulfing the entire area. Within the Blood Refining Array, everything was shrouded in a murky, crimson haze, obscuring all clarity. Every living creature within was visibly drained of its blood essence at a visible rate.
The zombies, initially howling with vigor, quickly wilted as their lifeblood was extracted. In less than three minutes, one after another turned into mummified corpses and collapsed to the ground. The process continued—second, third, fourth...
All the blood essence converged towards the array disc, coalescing naturally into fist-sized blood pearls. Chu Xuan, poised on his flying sword in midair, felt a surge of exhilaration. The efficiency was astounding!
Soon, the blood essence of all the zombies within the area had been completely drained by the Blood Refining Array, and the spirit stones within the eighteen array flags were also exhausted.
Upon inspection, Chu Xuan noticed thirteen large blood pearls had formed on the array disc. Each was ruby-red and glossy, resembling red jade agates, and emitted a faint scent of blood.Visitt for the latest updates
Chu Xuan couldn't help but marvel at them. Each of these thirteen large blood pearls was the size of a fist and of superior quality, each worth at least twenty smaller pearls.
"These thirteen large blood pearls should suffice for my cultivation up to the ninth level of Qi refining," Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
Just as he was about to depart, he suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon in the sky. A plethora of golden light spontaneously appeared, forming myriad golden flowers that cascaded from the sky and swirled around him. This spectacle lasted for about five minutes before gradually subsiding.
Chu Xuan was astonished. Golden flowers cascading! Wasn't such a phenomenon supposed to herald those endowed with great virtue? Why had it descended upon him?
After a brief moment of surprise, he suddenly recalled. He had just slaughtered thousands of zombies—not sure exactly how many, but certainly over three thousand. Killing each zombie garnered a small amount of merit. The accumulation of such merit had triggered this spectacle of golden flowers cascading!
Chu Xuan's expression turned peculiar. Demonic cultivators, great virtue, golden flowers cascading...
These terms should never be associated together. Every demonic cultivator carried a myriad of karmic deaths. Not summoning celestial thunder was already fortunate.
Zheng Baoshan and the others followed his gaze and recognized the building where they had previously stayed.
However, the structure, which had been teeming with thousands of zombies just a short while ago, now lay eerily silent. A closer inspection revealed countless desiccated corpses strewn about haphazardly.
These zombies, which had been lively and energetic not long ago, were now dead. And their deaths were peculiarly unsettling.
"Stop, I need to go down and look," Zheng Baoshan said sternly.
Wang Yong hesitated, "But there might still be zombies hiding below..."
"I said I want to go down," Zheng Baoshan fixed his gaze on Wang Yong, his voice icy and deliberate.
Wang Yong dared not offend further and quickly lowered the helicopter.
Moments later, under the protection of Zhuang Qiang and Sun Meng, Zheng Baoshan approached the outside of the unfinished building. Now, standing closer, they could see the skeletal remains scattered everywhere.
Zhuang Qiang pulled out a military knife and sliced open a corpse, finding not a trace of blood. With a slight squeeze, the remains crumbled into debris as fine as gravel, as if all the blood and moisture had been extracted.
"How could this have been done?" Zheng Baoshan was speechless.
Only about half an hour had passed since they had left, and now thousands of zombies here had been drained of blood. Such a feat was beyond human capability!
"Could it have been that cultivator?" Sun Meng whispered.
Recalling Chu Xuan's actions and demeanor from earlier, Zheng Baoshan nodded gravely, "It's very likely him! This is too important; we need to hurry back and report this to General Ye."
"Yes," Zhuang Qiang and Sun Meng nodded emphatically.
