Chapter 496: Myriad Blood True Explanation, Gu Yao's Oath

Secret technique?

This Gu Yao does indeed have something in hand.

Why do you want to kill him?

He has what I want in his hand; after killing him, besides what I want, everything else can be yours.

Gu Yao said lightly.

Just because Chi Sha Yao Huang has what she wants in hand, Gu Yao wants to kill Chi Sha Yao Huang?

This reason is hardly convincing.

Lu Xun doesn't really believe it.

Are you worried I'll team up with him against you?

Why wouldn't it be possible?

If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't need to borrow someone else's hand.

Gu Yao seemed to have been insulted.

Is that so? In that case, you intend to kill me personally?

Of course.

Gu Yao's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Heh.

Lu Xun laughed: 'I'm actually not worried; you probably don't know why Chi Sha is chasing me.'

Why?

The reason is simple: he mistook me for you; you say, if he knew the truth, how would he choose?

Lu Xun said lightly.

Given your bloodline, even if he knew the truth, he'd probably still choose you.

Gu Yao's gaze was very venomous.

Fine,

Not knowing how many years the other party has lived, Lu Xun decided to stop playing word games with her.

Tell me the secret technique; I'll first check if it's genuine.

Listen well.

Gu Yao then explained that secret technique.

Lu Xun listened silently.

This secret technique is somewhat special; it is not a combat secret technique, but a bloodline secret technique.

Its name is Myriad Blood True Explanation.

Its function is to allow living beings to truly excavate the power and secrets hidden within their bloodline.

This secret technique is not purely a demon race secret technique; other lineages that value bloodline can also use it.

After Lu Xun learns it, he can truly unleash the power contained within the primordial ancient blood.

And like Lu Xun before, after merging with the primordial ancient blood, the combat power exerted through the Dragon Transformation Demon Body and Eight Realm Demon Power actually falls far short of the level that the primordial ancient blood should possess.

Gu Yao also had reservations toward Lu Xun; this secret technique was only taught halfway.

But even this half made Lu Xun feel that the secret technique would be of great use to him.

Without the secret technique, Lu Xun could still exert combat power comparable to the Nine Realms via the primordial ancient blood, Dragon Transformation Demon Body, and Eight Realm Demon Power.

With the secret technique, if Lu Xun can enable the primordial ancient blood to exert even greater power, his combat power will increase manyfold.

But even so,

Killing a Nine Realm cultivator is still not easy.

Even if he could kill, Lu Xun's consumption would not be ordinary.

For Lu Xun, it's not really worth it.

Moreover, dealing with Gu Yao carries considerable risk.

Don't think that because they've already developed that kind of relationship...

but Gu Yao regards this as a humiliation and is constantly thinking of killing Lu Xun.

Although Lu Xun now has many methods, Gu Yao possesses a trump card capable of killing a Nine Realm cultivator, so Lu Xun still needs to be cautious.

Another issue is.

Lu Xun is unsure whether he can go learn the secret technique.

The system, however, prohibits Lu Xun from cultivating.

Although studying secret techniques is not the same as cultivation, Lu Xun is also extra careful.

For now, those eyeing him are merely Nine Realm cultivators.

If the Chaos Divine Body were exposed, those watching Lu Xun would have to be at the Tenth Realm or above.

'System, if I go learn this kind of secret technique, will there be any problem?'

Lu Xun asked the system in his mind.

【The host may study some simple arts and secret techniques; Myriad Blood True Explanation is a bloodline secret technique, unrelated to the Chaos Divine Body, so the host may cultivate it.】

The system gave its answer.

That's good.

Lu Xun put his mind at ease.

He had already made a decision.

That was to agree to Gu Yao.

Lu Xun indeed needs this secret technique.

Especially after the witch attacked him, Lu Xun needs greater strength to deal with the witch.

And if Gu Yao, after killing Chi Sha Yao Huang, obtains what Chi Sha Yao Huang holds, further increasing her strength, that would also greatly boost Lu Xun's strength.

"Just this secret technique, I don't have much confidence in killing him."

Lu Xun did not immediately agree.

"I still have a Monster Emperor-level helper."

Gu Yao said.

"Who?"

"Xue Tang, this time killing Chi Sha Yao Huang is also to subdue her; with her cover, I dare to safely increase my strength."

Gu Yao finally revealed the whole plan and another purpose.

Her other purpose is to subdue a Nine Realms Monster Emperor, so that this Nine Realms Monster Emperor can conceal movements.

That's right,

Gu Yao's Wa Huang bloodline is roughly equivalent to a Chaos Divine Body in level; if she cultivates recklessly on Yao Xing, it could produce phenomena that would alarm other Monster Emperors.

Although Gu Yao has a trace of immortal power, capable of instantly killing a Nine Realms being.

But there are so many Nine Realms beings on Yao Xing that she currently is no match for them.

And the Xue Tang Yao Huang that Gu Yao wishes to subdue, Lu Xun is not unfamiliar with.

Previously, to dispel the love poison, it was still through the pollen of Xue Tang Yao Huang.

"Oh? Why does Xue Tang want to kill Chi Sha?"

"You're asking too many questions."

"Xue Tang just broke through to the Nine Realms; even if we join forces, we might not be able to kill Chi Sha."

Lu Xun still shook his head.

"I will also set up a trap formation that can ensure he cannot escape and also suppress his strength."

Apparently to dispel Lu Xun's concerns, Gu Yao continued.

"Even if we could kill him, the chips you offer me are not enough."

Lu Xun shook his head.

He actually had already prepared to agree, but still wanted to raise the price.

"What else do you want?"

"You seem to have studied dreams?"

Lu Xun's eyes rolled.

He wanted to use Gu Yao to resolve the nightmares crafted by the witch.

These days, Lu Xun has not slept.

Because he feels that once he falls asleep, he might plunge into the witch's nightmares.

"Of course."

Gu Yao raised her head.

"Then tell me, what means did I encounter?"

Lu Xun recounted the nightmare.

"It's merely a nightmare technique, just a more sophisticated method; after I kill Chi Sha Yao Huang, I will help you resolve it."

Gu Yao, after hearing it, said lightly.

"What if you go back on your word?"

"I said, I can swear by my bloodline."

"Good, then swear."

"You... fine, I swear!"

Lu Xun's distrust made Gu Yao's vermilion lips tremble slightly.

Seeing her expression, Lu Xun gave her a white-eye look.

"This is you yourself who wants to swear."

"Really, having you swear, you're unwilling again."

"I, Cai Lin, swear by my bloodline!"

Gu Yao suddenly raised her eyes, golden light surging; the incantation entwined with bloodline power condensed in the void into blood-red runes: "If in this transaction I harbor even a hint of harmful intent toward Lu Xun, I willingly suffer the backlash of my bloodline, my essence blood draining to death!"

After swearing, Gu Yao lowered her head, coldly looking at Lu Xun: "Now, are you satisfied?"

"Junior fellow, don't worry; if she dares to be unfavorable to you, I will kill myself."

At that moment, Ran Bing, who had been in the dream, spoke.

These words made Gu Yao's eyes instantly fill with anger.

She couldn't understand why, in this life, she would fall in love with Lu Xun!

Moreover, Ran Bing's suicide threat was indeed effective against her.

Once Ran Bing commits suicide, she would be incomplete.

Ran Bing's words dispelled Lu Xun's last doubts.

"Alright, tell me the complete secret technique; I will cooperate with you in action, as for whether we can kill him, that depends on you."

Lu Xun then said to Gu Yao.
