In the rainforest, a blood-red finger beam pierced through the neck of a Blood Martial Realm martial artist and killed him in one go.
Xiao Shi walked out of the lunar state. He began to collect the spoils of war. Apart from the items that dropped after the other party died, the other party’s Intrinsic Martial Blood and the items in his storage bag belonged to Xiao Shi.
However, because Xiao Shi’s Intrinsic Martial Blood had already reached the limit, even if he refined the other party’s Intrinsic Martial Blood, it would not bring any improvement.
Therefore, Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to refine it for the time being.
After killing it, Xiao Shi searched the other party’s storage bag and found more information about the demonic factions to further understand them. Then, he took the corpse away. This would be his allegiance to the other two cities later.
Just like that, three of the four Blood Martial Realm martial artists from Scorching Bone City had already been killed by Xiao Shi one after another. Although they could obtain a huge increase in strength in this rainforest, it was still not enough to resist Xiao Shi.
There was only one person left.
The last Blood Martial Realm martial artist was the person with the black arm as his Intrinsic Martial Blood.
According to the information Xiao Shi had, this person with a black arm as his Intrinsic Martial Blood was not simple. The Blood Martial Realm of the demonic factions mainly used secret refinement techniques to refine the items they chose into Intrinsic Martial Blood. It could be a living creature or something else.
However, in Scorching Bone City, there was a special race. Its name was the Demon Hand Race. The special thing about this race was that their clansmen refined demonic hands into their Intrinsic Martial Blood. The demonic hands they refined were extremely extraordinary.
Usually, their race would specially rear some servants. These servants would cultivate according to the special mystic techniques they provided. When these servants cultivated to the Blood Martial Realm, their arms would undergo a transformation and form an extremely powerful demonic hand.
According to the information Xiao Shi had learned, just these servants who had formed the demonic hands already possessed terrifying combat strength that was extremely difficult to match in the ordinary Blood Martial realm.
Their demonic hands could even erupt with power comparable to a blood weapon! However, once a member of the Demon Hand Race began to prepare to step into the Blood Martial Realm, the demonic hands of these servants would be cut off and used as the intrinsic martial blood of the members of the Demon Hand Race.
This was also where the name of Demon Hand Race came from.
When Xiao Shi saw the demonic hand in the other party’s body with the Crimson Blood Ghost Eye, he did not know all of this. Now that he thought about it carefully, the demonic hand in his body was indeed not simple.
The Demon Hand Race was like a noble in the entire Scorching Bone City. If he could kill this member of the Demon Hand Race and bring him to the other two cities, with the weight of this pledge, he would definitely be able to successfully join the other two cities.
However, it was clearly not easy to kill this person. Despite that, he did not intend to give up. On one hand, he was very confident in his strength. On the other hand, he needed to fight to create a blood technique.
The three Blood Martial Realm martial artists he had killed previously were too weak. As a result, the entire battle did not give him any inspiration. It was boring.
Xiao Shi thought that perhaps the stronger the opponent was, the easier it was for him to create the blood technique. However, this rainforest was the territory of Scorching Bone City after all. As a noble of Scorching Bone City, the other party would definitely be protected by Scorching Bone City. Therefore, he could not stay here for too long. He needed to end this quickly.
Soon, Xiao Shi found the other party’s location through the blood seal.
Swoosh!
The Blood Shadow Sky Bow appeared in his hand. He pulled the bowstring and condensed blood force into an arrow that shot out. The moment the arrow was shot, he did not look at the result and flashed to the other side as quickly as possible. He raised his hand and pointed. Immediately, a blood-colored finger beam shot out from between his fingers. It tore through the sky and flew away at an extremely fast speed.
The three Blood Martial Realm experts from before were all killed by him in this way. Because Xiao Shi was in the lunar state, he had the initiative. Even if these Blood Martial Realm cultivators could use all their strength to block the arrow shot by the Blood Shadow Sky Bow, they could not withstand the bombardment of the Blood Tattoo Finger.
However, Xiao Shi’s opponent this time was the clansman of the Demon Hand Race. Xiao Shi did not have any wishful thinking about this. He knew very well that with just these two attacks, it was definitely impossible to kill the other party.
Therefore, the moment the Blood Tattoo Finger struck, he directly launched the third attack. A drop of blood that was scarlet on the outside but suffused with white frost flew out from Xiao Shi’s fingers. It followed the blood-colored finger beam and flew out. It was a mutant blood refined by Xiao Shi through the Blood Refinement Technique with the material, Extreme Cold Heavenly Frozen, combined with his blood force.
“Hmm?” The moment Xiao Shi attacked, this Blood Martial Realm martial artist of the Demon Hand Race, had already sensed the other party’s attack. He turned around instantly. His expression was solemn as he sensed that the power of Xiao Shi’s arrow was extraordinary.
He stretched out his hand. His entire right hand quickly turned black, forming a ferocious demonic hand. It was covered in pitch-black scales and had strange demonic patterns..
