Chapter 169: Chapter 104: Dismemberment
"How can this be? Although Zhang Shicheng’s body is three meters tall, at my current blood-sucking speed, he should have been drained dry. How is it that the blood in Zhang Shicheng’s body is still surging, without any signs of being drained?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Shicheng’s body in front of him, a look of perplexity in his eyes.
However, to him, the increase of Dragon Blood in Zhang Shicheng’s body was a good thing, as this meant that his Blood Control Technique would gain even greater advantages.
He wasn’t afraid of the opponent having too much blood, only that they would have too little.
Just as this doubt was flickering in his mind, Zhang Shicheng’s body suddenly twisted, surprisingly enlarging, and turned into a Great Snake over thirty meters long.
The Great Snake was as thick as a water tank, with a human head, yet its body was that of a dragon.
"So that’s it. The three-meter tall body before was just an illusion, and this is its true form!" Zhang Chen gazed in excitement at the thirty-meter-long ’Great Snake’ with dragon claws and a dragon tail. With so much blood, to what extent could his blood-sucking skill evolve?
The only regret was that no skills or experience points were gained from the opponent, which left a slight trace of regret in Zhang Chen’s heart.
"There must be some rule as to why no skills or points were dropped. The common ground between me and Zhang Shicheng is that one possesses a True Dragon Destiny, and the other has True Dragon Fate. Could there be common ground, preventing the drop of skills?" Zhang Chen pondered silently in his mind.
"Boy, stop immediately! Don’t continue the blood-sucking, if you have any ideas, we can talk it over. Why must we mutually destroy each other?" Zhang Shicheng’s Yang God’s form gradually became illusory, with an urgent tone in his voice.
Even for one who has mastered the Yang God realm, the physical body remains immensely important, especially this powerful Flood Dragon body that could be described as having steel bones. It was supremely significant to Zhang Shicheng.
He hadn’t had time to perform the Walking Flood Dragon nor fully transform into Taotie yet. At the moment, he only possessed Taotie’s bloodline and some abilities, and his soul had not acquired the complete Taotie Law, so this physical body was still very important to him.
Unfortunately, Zhang Chen paid no heed to him and continued with the blood-sucking.
At that moment, suddenly there was an explosion from the entire Crystal Palace. The whole palace shook as if there was a major earthquake, causing Zhang Shicheng’s Yang God to change color dramatically, with anger blazing in his eyes: "Worms, dare to destroy the Feng Shui Grand Array, ruining my plans!"
Zhang Shicheng’s voice was filled with fury, and his eyes were brimming with killing intent.
He felt terribly unlucky, first encountering an unknown origin worm to extract his soul out of his body and then sucking his blood. And now someone had destroyed the Feng Shui Grand Array. With the grand array shattered, the massive Water Fortune crashed down. In his current state, how could he perform the Walking Flood Dragon or withstand Celestial Thunder?
"Why must fellow Daoists be angry? We were merely anxious seeing you hesitate to transform into a dragon, so we made a decision for you." At this moment, Xie Xuan and Elder Wu arrived together, with Elder Wu speaking in a teasing tone.
Earlier, the two joined forces to destroy the Feng Shui Grand Array yet saw no resistance from Zhang Shicheng, betting that something significant had happened to him and he must have suffered a setback, which prompted them to come and see if they could seize an advantage. However, when they arrived at the basement of the Crystal Palace’s grand hall, they were shocked by the scene.
Proud, capable of unleashing tenth-level power, Zhang Shicheng stood aside, his soul watching someone wearing simple clothes and an ice-carved mask sucking his bodily blood. Even his Yang God appeared weaker, yet Zhang Shicheng did not retaliate, only standing helplessly watching, which seemed odd.
At this moment, the two looked at Zhang Chen and wondered what incredible power he could have to extract Zhang Shicheng’s soul and suck his blood without him daring to resist?
Staring at Zhang Chen who was sucking Dragon Blood, they felt momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to do.
They inspected Zhang Chen, exchanged glances, and agreed that they couldn’t discern Zhang Chen’s depth. But anyone who could pressure Zhang Shicheng like this was certainly not simple.
"Quickly stop him! He’s sucking my blood, and if he drains it completely, your plan to use my blood for crafting Longevity Divine Medicine will be in vain." Zhang Shicheng’s Yang God, seeing the two arrive, was initially furious but then an idea sparked in his mind, prompting him to quickly ask for their help.
Unfortunately, neither of them took action. No one was foolish; who dared to act rashly in such a situation?
Zhang Shicheng could immediately see their hesitation and couldn’t help but say, "Don’t be intimidated by him; he’s not a cultivator. Just make a move, and you’ll see. He only has some sinister ability that temporarily subdued my soul. If he truly had the ability, he would have slain my soul long ago, rather than leaving it to now."
No doubt Zhang Shicheng, being tenth-level, found the flaw in such a short time and understood Zhang Chen’s reality.
"If you still refuse to act, and my body is drained of blood, how will you craft the Longevity Divine Medicine?" Zhang Shicheng persistently urged.
