Chapter 2278: 2278
Chapter 2278 Unbreakable Statue
“Plus, I know that there is hell blood in the statue, but I don’t know where it is concentrated . And since you are still so weak, I’m not even sure you can damage it . On top of that, even if I do get the hell blood, the success rate of activating my own hell blood is low . That is why I have told you it is a one in a billion chance . If you have a method of escape, I suggest you make use of it now . ” By the time Yisha finished speaking, her face had grown even paler .

Han Sen turned to face the statue, then he activated his Purple-Eye Butterfly .
If he wanted to live, he needed Yisha . He didn’t want to watch her die, either . If there was a way to save her and resolve his own dire situation by extension, he wanted to try . It was killing two birds with one stone .
But as Yisha had said, it was a dangerous thing to attempt . If they failed, there was a very high chance he could die .
If Han Sen’s strike didn’t work, the ghost statue might attack him in return .
Fortunately, Han Sen had the bird’s nest to defend himself . With a shield like that, he didn’t have to be afraid .
Plus, he had the blood kirin . Even if his own power couldn’t break the body of the ghost statue, the blood kirin’s strength might be enough .
But before he could allow the blood kirin to attack, Han Sen first needed to locate the hell blood inside the ghost statue . And when he had located it, he had to ensure success in a single hit . He didn’t know if he would be given a second chance .
The Purple-Eye Butterfly kept analyzing the ghost statue . Han Sen detected many mysterious substance chains wrapping around and through the statue . Those substance chains were very complex, and they were difficult to understand . But Han Sen didn’t have to understand how the ghost statue was made; all he had to do was locate the point where the hell blood was stored .

Through the Dongxuan Aura and Purple-Eye Butterfly’s combined analysis, Han Sen’s eyes eventually brightened . “It’s there!”
When Han Sen looked at the ghost statue’s eyebrow, he noticed there was an extra tight substance chain . The purple substance was so thick that he could not detect a single seam .
“Blood Kirin, attack here!” Han Sen lifted his Thunder God Spike and took aim at the ghost statue’s eyebrow .
The blood kirin was carrying Han Sen, and the beast glowed with red light . Blood air swirled around to cover its entire body . It loosed a thunderous roar before leaping up at the ghost statue’s eyebrow .
Yisha was surprised as she watched her student . She was too weak to participate, and it was only now that she noticed the beast that Han Sen was riding . It was a scary half-deified being, she could tell . It wasn’t an ordinary half-deified creature, either; it had to be at the very top of what was achievable in that class .
Yisha was surprised Han Sen was able to command such a powerful mount . The sight gave her a little bit of hope to cling to .
A xenogeneic that was almost as strong as her might be able to crack the ghost statue and retrieve the hell blood she required .
While Yisha was mulling this over, the blood kirin’s claws were tearing through the fabric of space . The beast lashed out at the ghost statue’s forehead, sending a vicious attack against the statue’s brow .

But suddenly, the ghost statue shone with purple light . Before Han Sen and the blood kirin could react, the statue’s other hand grabbed the blood kirin, just as it had Yisha . Its sharp nails dug into the blood kirin’s flesh .
The blood kirin let out a horrendous screech . The statue’s talons easily punched through the creature’s tough scales, and they were digging in deep .
Han Sen was saved by the fact that the ghost statue’s claws only went for the blood kirin . He tumbled to the surface of the bridge . Looking up at what had occurred, he was given a shock .
Without a doubt, the ghost statue’s power was deified . Even the blood kirin couldn’t fight it off . The powerful creature was in the statue’s hand, and no matter how much the blood kirin tried to struggle, it could not pry itself free from the claws .
The blood kirin kept squirming in a bid to get free, but that only made the claws sink in deeper . Blood seeped out in greater and greater volume .
Yisha looked depressed . She had underestimated the statue’s cunning . She thought she was pulling the attention and power of the ghost statue’s power, but now, she realized that the ghost statue had more power than she initially assumed . The power it had used to attack the blood kirin was as great as anything she could unleash herself .
“Blood Kirin, don’t move!” Han Sen shouted up at the blood kirin from where he stood on the bridge .
The blood kirin, upon hearing Han Sen’s voice, stopped squirming and resigned itself to the pain it was already feeling . When the blood kirin stopped fighting the ghost statue, the powers of the ghost statue’s claws seemed to lessen .

“D*mn it! Now I understand . It wasn’t because Yisha and the blood kirin weren’t strong enough . The thing attacked them because they have hell power already . ” Han Sen looked at his own purple body and the purple air .
The ghost statue wasn’t a creature . Just as Yisha had said, it was indeed a statue . And inside its body was a pocket of hell blood . That was the source of its strength . While it did have a lot of power, it lacked intelligence . It didn’t make plans or schemes; it did the job it was programmed to do .
It was the hell power inside Han Sen that would cause the statue to act . If Han Sen used his power, the hell power that was now inside his body would be triggered . And the ghost statue, in turn, would be prompted to make its move .
The events would play out like falling dominoes . Unless Han Sen could get rid of the hell power, not even a deified elite could block the ghost statue’s attack .
Once enough hell power accumulated within Han Sen’s body, the ghost statue would attack him even if he didn’t act first .
Just as it had been for Yisha . When she walked across the bridge, she hadn’t attacked the ghost statue, but the statue still grabbed her . That was why she was unable to evade it .
Han Sen and the blood kirin hadn’t activated the ghost statue when they walked near it because of the bird’s nest . Han Sen had thought that the bird’s nest was ineffectual against the hell power, but it actually had gotten rid of some of it . That was why the hell power in Han Sen and the blood kirin hadn’t triggered the ghost statue to attack the moment they walked up to it .
Han Sen suddenly felt a headache coming on . The problem was no longer getting the hell blood from the statue; it was the fact that he couldn’t even hit the ghost statue . If Han Sen used a certain amount of power, then the hell blood that had accumulated in his body would be triggered . Then, the ghost statue would come after him . He wouldn’t be able to escape if he was struck by it .
“Just go . ” Yisha was smart, and she understood the issue as well . She knew she couldn’t escape her predicament . Once their bodies were infected by hell powers, all hope of defeating the ghost statue was lost . The same would be true even if a deified elite joined them .
Han Sen stared at the ghost statue and did not speak . He didn’t want to simply leave . He hadn’t saved Yisha yet, and now the blood kirin had been captured as well . There was no way Han Sen was going to throw in the towel and call it quits now .
Han Sen was holding the Thunder God Spike . The wings on his back flashed, and he teleported in front of the ghost statue . But the instant he got close enough to strike, the fist that was holding Yisha slammed into him .
Pang!
Han Sen used the bird’s nest to protect himself, but he was still sent flying . He flew in a long arc that ended with a crunching impact with the hard surface of the bridge . Han Sen’s body was like a meteor thudding into the earth . He might not have broken the bridge, but the same could not be said for his body . He coughed, and blood sprayed the ground in front of him .
