Chapter: Chapter 439
Linglong’s blood did not have the high-class special effects that Leticia’s blood did. The blood of this little dragon girl was no different from that of ordinary orcs; at most, it contained more energy, but it did not reach a qualitative change.
When a drop of such blood was added to a test tube and came into contact with Leticia’s blood, no special phenomenon occurred. The two drops of blood merged together like water.
“See, my blood is much gentler than that golden liquid.” Leticia held up the test tube and showed it to the two girls present.
“How about adding another drop of my blood?” Seeing the test tube in Leticia’s hand, Miss Bai suddenly became interested. She extended her finger, as if about to drip a drop of her own blood into the tube.
“Sure, my blood is always very gentle anyway.” Leticia saw no harm in it. It was just mixing a few people’s blood for an experiment; they could just dispose of it afterward.
Having received Leticia’s permission, Miss Bai did not hesitate. A drop of red blood, sparkling with starlight, seeped from her fingertip and immediately broke away from Bai Ling’s fingertip, darting straight towards… the test tube containing the golden liquid.
“What’s going on?!” Leticia was startled by the sudden turn of events. She quickly waved her hand, trying to block Bai Ling’s drop of blood, and glared at Miss Bai in the process, “What are you up to!”
But Miss Sword Saint also wore a bewildered expression, “I don’t know! I didn’t control it at all!”
After the drop of blood seeped from her fingertip, she immediately lost control of it.
“Huh?” Leticia found this answer baffling, and it wasn’t the most baffling thing.
Because she realized that her magic was actually having trouble stopping Bai Ling’s drop of blood!
Moreover, it seemed that Bai Ling’s blood had triggered some unknown chain reaction, and the golden liquid that had been quietly lying in the test tube also began to stir.
“Quick, take this test tube out! If it’s going to explode, let’s not do it at home!” Leticia tried desperately to prevent Bai Ling’s blood from approaching the tube containing the golden liquid and shouted to Bai Ling, who was still standing there in a daze.
She also wanted to see what would happen when these two things met, but they were in her home right now, and if it exploded, it would be a huge loss. Therefore, she needed Bai Ling to take the test tube outside at the very least.
Hearing Leticia’s shout, Miss Bai immediately grabbed the test tube and ran outside.
Miss Bai was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she had reached a barren area outside the Silverfang Tribe.
Then, Leticia, along with Linglong and the drop of blood, appeared there.
“Throw the test tube on the ground and step back a few paces to protect yourself.” Leticia directed Bai Ling, while she herself firmly held Bai Ling’s drop of blood suspended above her palm.
The blood, which had been very agitated moments ago, was now floating in Leticia’s palm like a well-behaved kitten. No one knew how the Demon King managed to control it.
However, it was clear that this docility was temporary. As soon as Leticia released her restraint, the drop of blood immediately displayed its wild nature again and lunged furiously towards the test tube on the ground.
For some reason, in this drop of blood, Leticia saw the shadow of the former煞星剑圣 (Slaying Star Sword Saint).
“Hiss… this feeling is really bad.” Leticia gasped and instinctively took a step away from Bai Ling, fearing that the young lady beside her might also revert to that form.
That form of Bai Ling had left quite a shadow on her; even though she knew she could defeat it now, the psychological trauma had been there for a long time and wouldn’t disappear overnight.
A clear sword cry echoed in the air. The drop of blood seemed to transform into an incredibly sharp sword, intending to slay the golden liquid within the test tube.
Would the golden liquid passively accept its fate?
Of course not.
The moment the sword cry sounded, the golden liquid burst forth with a golden light. Accompanied by a soaring bird cry, the golden liquid shattered the test tube containing it and flew straight towards Bai Ling’s drop of blood.
Thus, the two drops of blood began their confrontation in mid-air.
“Your blood is quite fierce.” Leticia stroked her chin, watching the unique battle in mid-air with great interest.
She had witnessed many battles, but this was the first time she had seen blood drops fighting each other.
To this, Miss Sword Saint stated that her blood was beyond her control, and she herself did not know what was happening.
In the eyes of the three present, the two drops of blood no longer resembled blood. Bai Ling’s blood had transformed into numerous long swords, while the golden liquid had become a giant firebird.
These two entities were entangled in a fierce battle in mid-air, seemingly destined to fight until one side completely disappeared.
“It looks like they will both be destroyed,” Leticia concluded after comparing the rate of energy depletion of both sides.
These two drops of blood had no combat skills whatsoever. The seemingly magnificent battle in mid-air was merely a clash of energies without any technical skill, and the outcome of such a clash was easily predictable.
Speaking of mutual destruction… weren’t her own blood and the golden liquid also destined for the same outcome?
Leticia recalled the spectacular fireworks she had witnessed not long ago. Although her blood did not eagerly rush forward to fight like Bai Ling’s blood, it did result in mutual destruction upon contact with the golden liquid.
Oh, of course, her blood’s confrontation with the golden liquid was not as spectacular as the current one.
Looking at Bai Ling’s blood transforming into swords and the golden liquid into a great bird, Leticia was somewhat unsatisfied that her own blood had not changed form.
What Bai Ling had, she also wanted!
With that thought, Leticia poked her fingertip again and squeezed out a drop of blood. Then, looking at her blood, she asked word by word, “Are you perhaps playing coy? You should be able to transform like the two drops of blood above, right?”
“Stop being silly!” Bai Ling affectionately knocked Leticia on the head, sighing at her childish behavior.
Talking to her own blood, Leticia was truly one of a kind.
Elsewhere, Leticia would probably be considered crazy.
“Hey, can’t I have a fantasy? Your blood is so cool, why can’t my blood be cool too?” Leticia impatiently swatted Bai Ling’s hand away, admitting that she was jealous.
However, even with Leticia’s encouragement, the drop of blood, which was quite beautiful, lay listlessly on her fingertip, appearing as if it wouldn’t move even if the sky fell.
It was a miniature Leticia, equally fond of slacking off.
At this moment, the two drops of blood on the other side finally exhausted all their energy and fell from the air.
Leticia quickly waved her hand, using her magic to support the two drops of blood that had been fighting so intensely. Then, she turned to Bai Ling, “Can I taste it now?”
“No, why do you have to taste it? It doesn’t look like it would taste good.”
“I’m curious. How about this, I’ll taste yours first, and if there are no problems, then I’ll taste the golden one?” Leticia stated that she just wanted to taste it, and her intuition told her that doing so might lead to some unexpected rewards.
This suggestion still didn’t quite satisfy Miss Bai. She certainly didn’t think her blood would cause Leticia any harm, but the golden blood was another matter.
“Your blood and this drop of blood are clearly similar in danger, aren’t they? Didn’t you see them start fighting as soon as they met?” Leticia swayed her head, stating her reason for daring to taste it. “Now that both of them have exhausted their strength, even if this drop of blood were the most potent poison in the world, it wouldn’t affect me at this moment.”
Being powerful made one that confident!
As she spoke, Leticia popped Bai Ling’s drop of red blood into her mouth.
“Hey!” The Sword Saint shouted in annoyance, stamping her foot in frustration.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Leticia had been acting more and more on her own accord lately, although she had always been like this before.
“The taste is okay. It’s a bit tingly.” The Demon King smacked her lips. Bai Ling’s blood had a peculiar taste; instead of a bloody smell, there was a strange, faint fragrance in her mouth.
Could this blood be some kind of elixer?
“Ugh…”
Her vision blurred, and Leticia seemed to see a magnificent, starry river stretching across the sky above her head towards the distance. She herself was in a vast, boundless void.
This sudden change caused Leticia to involuntarily press her forehead, but the illusion only lasted for a moment. In the next instant, Bai Ling’s anxious and beautiful little face reappeared before Leticia.
Seeing Leticia stagger after consuming her blood, Miss Bai immediately teleported to her side, reaching out to support the swaying Demon King. However, before she could touch Leticia, those steady and wise black eyes regained their clarity.
“Phew, the residual mental energy in the blood?” Noticing Miss Bai beside her, Leticia didn’t blush but naturally leaned into Bai Ling’s soft embrace. “So, tasting blood can have this effect.”
“Are you alright?” Bai Ling hugged the delicate girl in her arms tightly, still feeling a bit uneasy.
“It’s no big deal. I just saw a river of stars, pretty much like what you summoned when you attacked me back then.”
“That was so long ago! Can’t you think of something more recent?!” With a hint of shame and annoyance, Miss Bai pushed Leticia out of her embrace, deciding that she had misjudged her and that this person wasn’t worth her concern!
Pushed away, Leticia smiled and took two steps forward, turning to look at Miss Bai with a playful grin, “What can I do? That’s the most memorable time.”
The near-death experience was not so easily forgotten.
However, with the precedent of Miss Bai’s blood, Leticia’s interest in what the golden blood would show her intensified.
At the very least, she would see the powers that the owner of the golden blood excelled at using.
“Bai Ling, remember to support me later.” With that said, Leticia put the drop of golden blood into her mouth.
The moment the golden liquid entered her mouth, Leticia’s eyes widened. The temperature was too high!
It was as hot as boiling water, and Leticia almost spat the drop of blood out.
But she endured it in the end, closed her eyes, and tried her best to ignore the scorching sensation in her mouth. Leticia then activated her divine authority.
After a dazzling display of colorful lights flashed before her eyes, an incredibly shocking scene appeared in Leticia’s vision.
A fiery red sky, a massive sun in the sky, and a rain of fire falling from the heavens.
There were no living creatures on the ground; this was a paradise of flames, a place not meant for the living. Rivers of bright red lava divided the land into pieces, and poisonous gases permeated the area.
The high temperature was enough to melt steel. If someone told Leticia this was hell, she wouldn’t doubt it, as this place was simply too terrifying.
Fortunately, this was just an illusion. If Leticia were truly in such a place, even with her strength, she would not be able to survive for long.
And in the center of this molten inferno lay a monster as large as a mountain. With just one glance, Leticia determined the monster’s true identity.
A god! This was definitely a god!
Not a false god like that giant squid, but a true god.
And also… a fallen god.
Yes, the monstrous god was dead. The massive body lying on the ground was merely a corpse.
Upon closer inspection, Leticia saw countless terrifying wounds on the monster god’s body. Golden liquid flowed like small rivers from its massive body, merging into the lava rivers.
So, this golden liquid was from a god…
A sharp pain suddenly struck her head. Leticia’s eyes widened. The molten inferno and the massive god corpse quickly faded from her vision, and Bai Ling’s reassuring little face reappeared before her.
“It looks like you’re in trouble this time.” Miss Bai’s expression turned grim, and she carefully wiped the sweat from Leticia’s face with a handkerchief.
It was then that Leticia realized something soft was propping up the back of her head. Turning around, she saw, as expected, someone’s thigh.
How long had she been in the illusion?!
“Not long, about fifteen minutes.” Seeing Leticia’s expression, Bai Ling could guess what she was thinking. She sighed and said softly.
