Chapter 273: Dog Bites Dog

One sentence, astonishing everyone!

But looking at Su Xun standing there, with a calm and composed expression.

Everyone’s hearts were stunned, but they couldn’t even utter a word of inquiry.

Because just looking at him, it seemed like they couldn’t muster even the slightest thought of disobedience, how dare they inquire?

In the end, it was Zhou Qingyun who broke the silence.

Although she had noticed some slight strangeness about Su Xun.

But right now…

It wasn’t the time to be concerned about these personal matters.

She earnestly asked, “Su Xun, do you really have a way to deal with the blood tide? What help do you need?”

“Clear the fields and walls, don’t let anyone get close… To deal with the blood tide, I alone am enough.”

Su Xun turned to walk back, saying, “Time waits for no one, the blood tide is about to break through the isolation array. To prevent new victims from appearing… I’ll go over there now, at most a few days, and the blood tide will disperse on its own!”

Having said that, his figure had already disappeared again.

Everyone present, even those as strong as the Spirit Transformation Realm, couldn’t see clearly when Su Xun had left.

“This… what exactly is going on?”

Lin Meng’s forehead slowly dripped a cold sweat, and he said in shock, “What realm has Fellow Daoist Su’s cultivation reached now? I can’t even muster the courage to probe him.”

“Perhaps, he really can resolve the crisis of the blood tide, it’s hard to say!”

Wu Lai murmured.

“Quick, to the border!”

Zhou Qingyun suddenly stood up, saying, “Although Su Xun said he doesn’t need us, how can we hide in the rear? We’ll go and see, maybe we can lend a hand.”

Everyone stood up, hurriedly chasing after Su Xun.

But at this time.

One step is close, one step is far away.

In just a few breaths, Su Xun had already arrived at the edge of the border.

The blood tide had clearly already crossed the edge of the barbarian territory, slowly seeping in through the ground.

Within this border area, when Su Xun appeared, blood-colored figures simultaneously looked up at the sky.

Their eyes were pupil-less.

Only remaining was blood light, which made them even more terrifying and frightening.

They stared intently at Su Xun.

Just as Su Xun stared intently at them…

These people looked very familiar.

Among them were even the Yin-Yang Scholar and others who had once gifted Su Xun with magical artifacts.

But now, they had already lost all their rationality.

Or rather, their inner selves had long been replaced by something else. Now, seeing Su Xun, they attacked without hesitation.

Several of them rushed straight towards Su Xun.

Su Xun raised his hand…

The Morning-Evening Flying Sword transformed into a rainbow, blossoming into countless dazzling sword nets in the air, directly ending the lives of the several blood people who had charged up.

They were minced into meat paste by the sword light.

These people immediately died, their corpses suddenly diffusing and turning into countless blood mists, spreading towards the surroundings, and then slowly drifting towards Su Xun’s direction.

Clearly, once these people were killed, they would become a combination of blood mist and spiritual energy, entering the bodies of cultivators.

This was the real headache-inducing reason.

But this time…

Su Xun did not resist, but rather allowed the blood mist to attack him, coiling around his body.

It gradually eroded into his body.

Unfortunately…

The blood mist entered his body, but Su Xun showed no signs of frenzy.

Instead, he retracted all the cultivation around him, just like Zhou Xiaofan back then.

What Zhou Xiaofan could do, Su Xun could naturally do easily now… Especially since Zhou Xiaofan could endure for a full three years, this mere blood qi was naturally nothing to Su Xun now.

He just closed his eyes and sensed for a while.

Su Xun then came to a conclusion…

Indeed, this blood mist was not infecting the true essence in his body, but rather, it was devouring his true essence, turning it into its own nourishment, thereby achieving diffusion.

Self-diffusion and division.

“It’s just that this blood tide and the blood tide in the small world, although both are blood tides, there are indeed quite a few differences in the details. It seems that they are not the same disease.”

Su Xun raised his hand, and a wisp of blood color slowly seeped out from the palm of his left hand.

It also entered his body…

His body instantly became the battlefield of the blood tide.

After a moment, Su Xun’s face turned slightly pale, the cultivation around him dissipated, and along with it, the blood tide also completely dissipated.

But it also proved… that this path was indeed viable.

“Then let’s do it!”

Su Xun let out a low shout, waved his hand, and the Morning-Evening Flying Sword soared into the sky. The sword light merged with spiritual energy, transforming into countless sword qi falling like a torrential rain!

The edge of the border.

Spanning thousands of miles, the number of blood people had already exceeded ten thousand. At this time, they were spread all over the edge of the border… And at this time, this number was still increasing.

Clearly, the isolation array’s sealing effect was getting worse and worse.

If left unattended, in at most a year or so… it would completely lose its effect.

And these blood people that had seeped in were undoubtedly the most powerful lives in the blood tide.

But under these tens of thousands of sword lights, they didn’t even have the slightest ability to react, and were directly and completely annihilated by Su Xun… leaving only blood mist lingering.

But Su Xun’s body erupted with boundless suction.

He absorbed all the blood mist into his body, and then, his entire person transformed into a blood shadow, rushing towards the isolation array.

Thousands of years…

He had long since understood the isolation array thoroughly.

The array that could isolate the blood tide seemed to have no obstruction against Su Xun, allowing him to freely pass through it.

In an instant, he surged into the boundless blood tide.

Like drowning…

Countless blood tides surged towards Su Xun, but there was no feeling of suffocation, because all the blood tides turned into a void mist the moment they approached Su Xun’s body, and poured into his body.

There was too much.

The countless blood mists made Su Xun feel suffocated after only a moment. If Su Xun didn’t circulate the cultivation techniques in his body at all times, he would probably suffocate and faint in just a few breaths.

Zhou Xiaofan endured in this environment for a full three years?

And even purified a large amount of blood qi…

But the blood tide was almost endless. If he still used Zhou Xiaofan’s old method, it would probably be a drop in the bucket, and would not help the situation.

Fortunately, Su Xun didn’t intend to repeat Zhou Xiaofan’s failed method…

He had his own better method.

Not only did he not resist the blood tide from entering, but he also opened up his body, allowing the countless blood tides to pour into his body.

Then, he opened his Nascent Soul.

Let the blood tide enter a deeper level of the world…

Or rather.

“Come to the small world!”

All the places in the small world were under Su Xun’s control. As long as he had a thought, he could go anywhere.

Just like now…

Su Xun was still in the blood tide of the main plane.

But his Nascent Soul, wrapped with the large amount of blood tide that had poured into his body, had entered the blood tide of the small world.

Mutual devouring, thereby strengthening oneself?

They were all the same virus, with the same characteristics.

Then let the two of you see, who will devour whom…

After the previous experiment, the two blood tides did not show any signs of mutual fusion.

This also eliminated Su Xun’s biggest worry.

As Su Xun’s Nascent Soul broke into the small world.

Along with it, another surging blood tide poured into the blood tide of the small world.

Su Xun’s Nascent Soul was like an opened floodgate…

The surging blood tide passed through Su Xun’s body, connected to his Nascent Soul, and entered the small world, instantly colliding with the blood tide in the small world.

Then, they mixed together into a mass.

Wherever the blood tide passed, it instantly evaporated into a mist.

It was like pouring a basin of cold water into hot oil…

Heavenly thunder ignited earthly fire.

The isolation array suddenly expanded, and the aftermath of the collision of the two blood tides instantly tore the isolation array apart.

The earth qi shattered.

A violent earthquake occurred within the small world.

The earth tore open countless cracks…

The blood tide that had been imprisoned for two thousand five hundred years finally regained its freedom at this moment.

But this time.

The blood tide did not quickly surge towards the human world, but rather encountered an opponent that could truly contend with it.

The two blood tides, the same color, were clearly distinct when mixed together.

One strong and one weak…

But the weaker side, through Su Xun, had a continuous stream of countless reinforcements joining in.

Especially as soon as the blood tide entered, it tore apart the other blood tide, turning it into nourishment, thereby promoting its own rapid expansion and division.

But just as it had split…

It was then swallowed by this blood tide, absorbing the split blood qi.

Re-transforming it into its own attribute.

Two completely different sources and qualities, but with the same attributes, the blood tides frantically devoured each other.

It was like two ferocious monsters constantly tearing at each other’s bodies…

But because they themselves possessed the power to constantly recover.

The speed at which the main world’s blood tide entered was getting faster and faster.

With Su Xun’s current cultivation, he was even stronger than Zhou Xiaofan back then.

He could completely endure for several years…

No matter how much blood tide there was, it was ultimately not endless, especially since he used his own body and Nascent Soul as a bridge, connecting the two worlds.

He didn’t even need to transport it. This blood tide sensed that almost endless power, and frantically swarmed towards the small world.

The two torrents swept across the small world, surging, and devouring.

When they met, they both sensed the other’s almost endless power, and they both had a greedy heart to devour.

Devour the other party.

While you devour me, I am also devouring you. While you are using me to spread, I am also using you to spread…

And Su Xun, at this time, had long been ignored.

He sat quietly at the bottom of the blood sea, continuously releasing the blood tide outwards, but his heart was silently pondering.

Devouring a mouthful of the other party would allow one to split into an equal amount of its own kind… Both blood tides had this characteristic. Theoretically speaking, even if they devoured each other until the end of time, the total amount of these two blood tides would not decrease in the slightest.

But Zhou Xiaofan had said a sentence before he died.

They, these healthy cells, could give rise to life, so why couldn’t these cancer cells, which had existed for a longer time than them, have life?

It was also based on the trust in this sentence…

That was why Su Xun chose to directly let the two blood tides meet in the small world.

Your characteristics allow you to devour each other, but I absolutely do not believe that you will not expend any power or energy when you devour.

Even if it’s just a tiny bit…

As long as you are still constantly devouring each other, as long as you don’t know how to give up, then the blood tide will definitely weaken.

Seven days later.

Su Xun decisively cut off his connection with the main world.

And when Zhou Qingyun and the others arrived at the border, the blood tide that filled the sky had long since disappeared. Along with it, the isolation array had also completely disappeared. Only the land, which had been ravaged by the blood tide, was left…

And in the middle of that land.

A figure, still covered in blood, was sitting cross-legged, without a sound.

This scene, just by looking at it, one could guess what had happened.

“He… Fellow Daoist Su actually absorbed all the blood tide into his body?”

Wu Lai exclaimed, “It’s like even if we were to absorb a trace, we would not be able to help but have a drastic change in our character. He was actually able to absorb the entire blood tide into his body, how is that possible?”

Zhou Qingyun was almost stunned.

Staring intently at Su Xun, she knew that Su Xun had a solution, but she never thought that the solution would be like this.

She wanted to rush over…

But she was afraid that rushing over rashly would ruin Su Xun’s plan.

Especially since she could clearly sense that Su Xun’s breathing was extremely steady, and he didn’t seem to be showing any signs of being stimulated.

She could only say, “Send troops to seal off the surrounding area, do not allow anyone to disturb him, set up a spirit gathering array, gather all the surrounding spiritual energy here. I don’t know what Su Xun is doing, but he definitely needs spiritual energy.”

After speaking, she didn’t mention leaving.

And at this time.

Within the small world…

Su Xun took a deep breath.

Looking at the two blood-colored oceans in the sky, devouring each other.

And in the blood sea, one could see a giant infant crying “Yī yīyā ya”, the sound was disgusting and nauseating, but its momentum was extremely powerful.

Wherever it passed, the blood tide of the outsiders was easily swallowed by it.

And its body was also getting bigger and bigger.

But in Su Xun’s eyes, who had been paying attention to them…

“Indeed, although the blood tide is constantly devouring and dividing, theoretically speaking, the total amount of the two blood tides will not change, but there will still be a considerable consumption. It seems that devouring still requires the consumption of power.”

Especially that blood-colored giant infant, crying “Yī yīyā ya”, was like the source of the blood tide in the small world.

And in the main world, there were familiar figures that Su Xun was once very familiar with.

The cultivators who had once been devoured by the blood tide had now become his puppet thugs. Not only had their cultivation not decreased in the slightest, but they had also greatly improved.

And in terms of total amount, their quantity was even greater than that in the small world…

It was just that the giant infant was such a strong helper that the two sides were always in a balanced state.

Or rather, even if there were advantages or disadvantages, it didn’t matter.

Because both sides were immortal and indestructible, what effect could a small advantage have?

But both sides were in continuous consumption…

“This is very good. Indeed, Zhou Xiaofan was right. This blood tide does have life, but it seems that it only has life. Its consciousness is not very clear, but rather it is more like that infant, muddled and ignorant, without any rationality of its own.”

According to Su Xun’s speculation, it should be that the blood tides devoured and split each other, but they were a whole, unlike humans who were a group society.

Therefore, the blood tide had no one to communicate with, even if it had given birth to intelligence millions of years ago.

But it was still muddled and ignorant, without enlightenment, without language, without intelligence, and even without the most basic ability to judge.

But this… undoubtedly gave him a chance to defeat them!
