"What's going on?"
"My my!"
Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue were frightened. They gradually paled and felt dispirited. They couldn't accept it.
"I told you that something is wrong." Shi Yan's face was dark and heavy as he sighed.
Cecilia's and Shang Ying Yue's jade hands clutched onto Shi Yan's arms while he felt so chilled inwardly, his eyes flaring up strange light...
The blood sea with the soul energy that could affect people's minds was the unique feature of the Blood Soul Sea, an ability of his Death power Upanishad! Why did it appear here? Who has set this up?
"Down there! Something is down there!" Cecilia cried.
Shi Yan focused while terrifying divine light shot out from his eyes, drilling like a dazzling dagger through the blood sea.
Under the blood sea, Shi Yan could see bloody shadows moving swiftly as if they were part of the blood sea. If he didn't watch clearly, he wouldn't be able to spot them. Those bloody shadows flew everywhere in the blood sea and discreetly took action.
They didn't hurry to kill the warriors who had gone mad.
In their eyes, those warriors weren't threats. As long as they were still fighting each other, that bunch of insane warriors would kill each other eventually.
Anyway, those bloody shadows were approaching Audrey and Cang Yun. They wanted to stop the two from breaking the gravestone in the middle of the blood sea. That gravestone was the eye of the formation. Once it was broken, the formation would dissolve immediately.
Cang Yun and Audrey grimaced. Even though the gravestone was right there, it was like it had been planted in the horizon they couldn't reach. In the critical moment, they were often stopped by the warriors from their own side!
Audrey and Cang Yun were so enraged.
They suddenly recalled what Shi Yan had reminded them.
Audrey and Cang Yun were regretting in the blood sea. However, as their vision was blocked, they couldn't see Shi Yan standing out there. They only had that white bone gravestone in their eyes. They had to break it at any cost.
"The two of them aren't affected, but it seems like they have no way to dissolve this blood sea. If it's going this way, those people will fight each other until death. As long as that strange blood sea is here, no one can escape."
Cecilia was so worried.
"Shi Yan, do you have any solution?" Shang Ying Yue gazed at him and shouted, "If they are all over, we will be killed too! No doubt! Without them, we can't resist the God Clan!"
"I know. I'm thinking," frowned Shi Yan.
He was sensing the powerful features of this evil formation. Using the Soul Consciousness to check, he figured out that it wasn't the Blood Soul Sea!
That formation wasn't urged by the power of Death. It was a wicked and evil bloody sacrificial ritual that had gathered the remnant of evils in earth and heaven. It wasn't the real Blood Soul Sea, but it had some features of the Blood Soul Sea...
As his thoughts changed, Shi Yan vaguely guessed that this sinister formation was somehow a simulation of the Blood Soul Sea from the Death power Upanishad of the Bloodthirsty's bloodline. However, it was just 40% or 50% similar.
Getting sober, Shi Yan hissed, "You guys stay here. I'm going there!"
Shi Yan didn't wait for Cecilia or Shang Ying Yue to react. He jumped directly into the thick blood sea. As soon as his body immersed in the blood sea, the entire world changed!
There was no sky or ground in his eyes but the endless red hue of blood. He seemed to be shrouded by the blood sea. Blood dyed his entire body red. He didn't see Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue anymore. However, he could see Cang Yun and Audrey now...
Just like him, Cang Yun and Audrey were so enraged and restless. They were trying to approach the gravestone in the middle of the sea.
Standing by Cang Yun and Audrey were Fuller, Mo Fou, and Jiao Shan who were attacking the two. And Shi Yan could see blood shadows moving under Cang Yun and Audrey, holding them like sticky, muddy puddles. They couldn't get close to the gravestone.
When he appeared in the blood sea, he immediately felt three ghostly bloody shadows surrounding him. They didn't hurry to attack him directly but they were gathering the energy of this area...
Shortly after, a flow of energy that could madden the soul altar shot over from the white bone gravestone. A soul energy fluctuation that was full of bloodthirsty, insane, and destructive desires intruded his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to take control of his body.
Shi Yan's thoughts flickered. The Poison-dipped Cold Bead emitted the cold energy that neutralized the energy that could disorder the mind. After a while, his eyes became bloodshot and dull as he began to pretend that his mind occupied. He immediately flew to Cang Yun and Audrey.
When the bloody shadows surrounding him saw him losing control and going to attack Cang Yun and Audrey, they didn't watch him anymore.
He made his way to Cang Yun and Audrey easily. Just like Mo Fou, Wu Feng, he began to attack them too. He didn't look different from the warriors who had their minds occupied. Even Cang Yun and Audrey thought that he was puzzled and had lost his mind.
"Damn!" Audrey cursed. She looked at Shi Yan indignantly. She thought if he knew it was dangerous, why did he jump in?
Cang Yun frowned, his fat face tangling up. He was hesitating and didn't know what to do in this case.
"Help me hold the others for a while. I will make my way to that gravestone!" Suddenly, a soul message arose in Cang Yun's and Audrey's heads.
Cang Yun and Audrey were shaken.
Cang Yun had a strange light in his eyes. He paused for just one second before he had reacted and took action. He stormed towards Shi Yan, gritted his teeth, and attacked Shi Yan. His acting wasn't less interesting than Shi Yan.
Quite the contrary, Audrey's beautiful eyes were bewildered. She had so many doubts. She didn't know why Shi Yan wasn't affected and he could maintain his sound mind. Apparently, her reaction was much slower than Cang Yun's. When she woke up from her thought, she saw that Cang Yun and Shi Yan were fighting furiously like a fire.
Audrey cursed Cang Yun and Shi Yan under her breath that they were two cunning, excellent actors. In fact, they acted really well.
However, she could react eventually. She pretended to know nothing. Following Cang Yun, she started to attack Mo Fou's team while noticing Shi Yan and waiting for his signal...
As the bloody shadows deemed that Shi Yan had lost his mind, they didn't do anything to shoo him away when he drew near to the gravestone. They were busy keeping their eyes on Audrey and Cang Yun.
"Now!"
All of a sudden, Shi Yan's voice arose in Audrey's and Cang Yun 's head like a thunderclap.
Audrey and Cang Yun abruptly took action and drew all attacks of the others on them. At the same time, Shi Yan who was so close to the gravestone and entangled with Audrey and Cang Yun immediately turned around. Starlight bloomed on his body like a galaxy falling from the sky and directly walloped the white-boned gravestone.
Swoosh!
A dazzling halo of sunlight burst out of Shi Yan's Ethereal Extent with his tremendous God power. With the savage, burning Yang energy, it created an intense sunlight and heat pounding on the gravestone like a real sun.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The grumbling sounds arose together with the noises of bones cracking from the gravestone. It was taken down immediately. Pieces of bone rolled and fell.
Anyway, there wasn't a single real bone exploded or smashed.
The pieces of bone that had detached from the gravestone turned into blood light and shot everywhere.
The thick blood sea vanished. The soul energy that could distort people's hearts perished at that moment. The warriors who had their minds occupied stopped attacking each other. The wild, crazy gleam in their eyes disappeared.
Audrey and Cang Yun weren't attacked anymore. They now gazed at the collapsed gravestone with cold, dark looks.
A skeletal young man of the God Clan sat at the spot where the gravestone was just a moment ago. Blood dripped from his body. One of his knees touched the ground as he was holding a bone and trying to put it back into his abdomen. His manic, resentful eyes fixed on Shi Yan.
This kind of chilling to the bone hatred was like a venomous snake slithering into Shi Yan's heart.
The Gravestone of the White Bone Refining Blood Ghost Grave was Harson himself. When the gravestone collapsed, he also got hit severely. The bone that he had used to create the blood was almost broken, which made him hated Shi Yan to the bone.
As Shi Yan appeared, he had broken Harson's plan. Now, he couldn't kill Audrey or Cang Yun and he was in a dangerous situation. One blink and he was in heaven. Another blink and he had already fallen in Hell. All was because of the grumbling impact from that damn sun!
The bloody shadows slowly emerged. The blood hue and real dripping blood on their bodies disappeared and revealed their true bodies. They were Harson's troop, the members of the Charteris family.
Those Charteris' disciples looked savage and insane. They all had resentful eyes that gazed at Shi Yan. Just like Harson, they hated Shi Yan to their bones.
That man had pretended to be occupied to approach the gravestone. All of a sudden, he struck a lightning-fast attack, which cracked the tombstone and shook them hard. Their bodies also got hurt. Shi Yan alone had smashed their plan. It was a pain that they could hardly accept.
Mo Fou, Jiao Shan, Wu Feng, Sha Zhao got their sane minds back. Looking at the situation here, their faces grimaced.
All of them had their minds occupied! It was unforgivable!
Those warriors put on brutal and dark countenances, glancing at Harson and his warriors. They panted and waited for Audrey's order.
Outside the formation, Cecilia and Shang Ying Yue had a strange light flare in their eyes. They looked at Shi Yan as a thought arose in their mind: They couldn't trust anybody here but Shi Yan!
He alone had overturned earth and heaven and changed the entire situation of their battle. He had done what Cang Yun and Audrey couldn't. In their hearts, only Shi Yan was eligible to be the leader. Audrey and Cang Yun were just his background. They couldn't be the key leaders.
"What are you waiting for? Kill them!" Shi Yan broke the silence and shouted. "Aren't we here to kill the Charteris family's warriors? Did you forget your current humiliation?"
His words had provoked the volcano in Mo Fou, Wu Feng, and Fuller's head. They roared and stormed over the others.
