In fact, the moment he saw such a scene, Ye Cangtian himself could hardly believe it.
But after thinking about it, he understood.
First, he was holding the Death Scythe, which in terms of quality, far surpassed Blood Pool Venerable's Blood Thorn.
Second, he was using the Thirteen Forms of the Death Scythe passed down from the Lord of Darkness, and in terms of the quality of the cultivation technique, it should have been far superior to the opponent's.
Therefore, his explosive power would undoubtedly be the same.
With these two advantages, he was able to achieve an echelon-breaking battle.
"Stop him quickly!"
Just then, Elder Long's voice came.
Ye Cangtian instantly snapped back to reality, looking only at Blood Pool Venerable, who was using one arm to struggle and crawl towards the blood pool.
Ye Cangtian reacted instantly, flashing forward and blocking Blood Pool Venerable's path.
He wasn't stupid; based on the previous battle, he knew that the blood pool in front of him must have a restorative effect on Blood Pool Venerable.
If he let the opponent enter it, he might recover quickly, and it would be difficult to deal with him then.
"Let me pass, give me a way out."
"I will agree to all your requests!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian blocking his way, Blood Pool Venerable quickly said.
He was now severely wounded and near death, having lost his ability to fight. Only the blood pool could save his life, and now he could only beg Ye Cangtian to spare him.
"Hmph!"
"If it were before, and you had cooperated honestly, I might have let you go!"
"But now, do you think you still have the capital to negotiate with me? Or do you think I will allow you to continue harming others here?"
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly upon hearing this.
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian walked forward, slowly raising the Death Scythe.
"Kid, if you don't let this venerable live, then you will die with me!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's action, Blood Pool Venerable knew that no matter what he said, the other party would not spare him.
Thinking of this, Blood Pool Venerable roared, and instantly his skin seemed to be suffused with blood, becoming extremely bloody red.
"Be careful!"
Elder Long's voice immediately sounded. Although he didn't know what move Blood Pool Venerable was going to use, the aura emanating from the opponent made him feel uneasy.
As the voice came, Ye Cangtian also realized something was wrong.
Just as he was preparing to dodge with all his might, he saw a cruel smile flash across Blood Pool Venerable's face, and then he uttered two words, "Blood Explosion."
As the two words fell, half of Blood Pool Venerable's body instantly exploded, and countless drops of blood splattered out.
More than ninety percent of the blood shot towards Ye Cangtian, instantly piercing through the spiritual energy and clothes around Ye Cangtian, seeping into his skin and blood vessels...
"This..."
Feeling the surge of countless powerful energies colliding within his blood vessels, Ye Cangtian was startled and quickly mobilized his entire cultivation to suppress it.
However, there was too much of this powerful energy, and even with his full suppression, it only delayed its spread.
"Is this blood poisonous?"
Elder Long, who had rushed forward, saw Ye Cangtian's skin turning dark red in patches and immediately understood everything.
The power of Blood Pool Venerable's Blood Explosion was not too strong in terms of instantaneous burst, but it had potent poison and strong penetration.
Coupled with Blood Pool Venerable's lifelong cultivation integrated into the blood, it was difficult for Ye Cangtian to resist.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and the detoxification pills he had on him, and then stuffed them all into Ye Cangtian's mouth.
This was all he could do.
As for whether Ye Cangtian could survive this ordeal, it would depend on his fortune...
After doing all this, Elder Long helplessly rescued the people on the cross first.
Although these people had lost a lot of blood, they were still alive with faint breaths.
After stopping their bleeding and administering the pills, Elder Long notified Hou Yin and then sat down cross-legged beside Ye Cangtian.
He was now powerless to help Ye Cangtian, and both Ye Cangtian and the people from the Imperial Dragon Villa were unconscious.
He could only guard them here.
What Elder Long didn't know was that Ye Cangtian at this moment was truly on the verge of death.
Originally, the blood that had permeated his body was scattered everywhere.
But under its chaotic impact, it soon gathered together, contending with Ye Cangtian's own blood.
This was equivalent to a fierce battle, with the battlefield being Ye Cangtian's body.
For Ye Cangtian, at this moment, he could only defend the vital points of his body.
For now, he could only use the Zhou Tian cultivation technique to continuously absorb the poison.
In this process, he was surprised to find that the Zhou Tian cultivation technique could not only absorb poison but also the blood of Blood Pool Venerable.
However, the speed was quite slow.
Although Ye Cangtian appeared unconscious to the outside world, he was still clear in his mind, constantly monitoring everything within his body.
When he sensed this situation, he also quietly pondered.
Although the Zhou Tian cultivation technique was magical, able to absorb blood, poison, and the energy contained within the blood bit by bit, the speed was very slow, and there were certain flaws.
Of the absorbed substances, ninety percent were wasted, with only ten percent being absorbed by his body and utilized. The conversion rate was simply too low.
He was contemplating whether he could improve the Zhou Tian cultivation technique. If successful, the Zhou Tian cultivation technique would be even more perfect.
In the future, if he encountered such a situation again, or was poisoned, not only would he be fine, but it might even be a fortunate event for him.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian quietly began to try.
However, improving cultivation techniques was no trivial matter. Even the slightest mistake could lead to qi deviation at best, and instant death at worst.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian was extremely cautious throughout the process, making subtle changes to the cultivation technique while observing the minute changes with all his mental energy.
If the situation improved, he would continue. If any adverse reactions occurred, he would immediately revert to the original cultivation technique.
Thus, under Ye Cangtian's modifications, days passed.
...
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
The people from the Imperial Dragon Villa had woken up one after another.
Seeing the familiar Hou Yin, the unfamiliar Elder Long, and a figure covered in blood scabs before them.
They knew very well that these two must be the reinforcements invited by Hou Yin.
So they quickly bowed to Elder Long, expressing their sincere gratitude.
Seeing this, Elder Long glanced at everyone and said lightly, "Du Yuxing, you can thank Hou Yin first for your rescue, and then thank him. I did not take action during the rescue.
I only provided some simple pills at the end, so you don't need to be overly grateful to me."
Hearing Elder Long's explanation, Du Yuxing and the others immediately understood.
So they looked again at the motionless figure and slowly said, "Elder Long, may I know the name of this benefactor?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Long slowly said, "He is Ye Cangtian from the Hidden Group. He was hit by Blood Pool Venerable's desperate Blood Explosion to save you.
He became like this afterwards, and it's still uncertain if he can survive this."
Elder Long's expression was extremely grim.
Ye Cangtian was the future of the Hidden Group. If anything happened to him here, he would not be able to account for it when he returned.
He now deeply regretted letting Ye Cangtian go out for training in the previous battle. If he had acted himself, none of this would have happened.
However, as things stood, he could do nothing but worry here...
Ye Cangtian?
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's name, Du Yuxing's eyes widened.
The name Ye Cangtian was very well-known in the Huaxia Ruins; he was definitely a rising star in the Hidden Group.
He had never expected that the person saving him would be Ye Cangtian.
After a long while, he finally accepted the reality and quickly said, "Elder Long, is there anything we can do for Mr. Ye?"
Elder Long slowly shook his head and gave a wry smile, "In his current state, he can only rely on himself. We can't help him at all.
So, if you are all fine, you can leave. I will guard here."
He paused and continued, "However, I hope you will keep everything here a secret..."
Hearing Elder Long's words, Du Yuxing was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
The next moment, he brought everyone to Ye Cangtian and bowed solemnly three times.
"Mr. Ye, I hope you can get through this and give me a chance to repay your life-saving grace..."
