The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
Bai Xiao also knew why Canaan initially wanted him to join.
On the stage of the Dark World Fighting Competition, he had obliterated Canaan’s Buddha and Demon Two Forms with a single sword stroke, sparking the idea of inviting Bai Xiao to participate.
"Then I will... give it a try."
Bai Xiao slightly turned around, and in an instant, a bird call that shook the entire universe erupted from within his body. It shot up to the sky, intangibly resonating across the horizon.
"Demon Bird Secret Book, battle form."
He murmured softly, and his eyes suddenly turned pitch black, resembling two dazzling black gemstones. Bai Xiao slowly extended his right hand and abruptly drew out a Cross Sword from the area of his spinal cord. The sound of the sword scraping against his bones was sharp and unpleasant.
"Sss... sss... sss..."
Holding the sword in one hand, the blood-red lines on the Black Cross Sword lit up like molten lava. At its core, a tiny heart was beating.
"Despair Form, Sword of Fear."
Bai Xiao quietly looked at the three shadowy figures ahead and swung his sword instantly.
Suddenly, a light as dark as darkness could be, burst forth. In the ntal world, it brought an endless aura of ferocious evil and indescribable majesty.
"Screech! Screech! Screech!"
In an instant, the three spiritual traces shattered on the spot, exploding into formless dust.
Sure enough, the Sword of Fear was extrely useful!
However, at this mont, Bai Xiao’s pupils suddenly contracted.
He suddenly felt that one of those three spiritual traces transmitted a cold black air current at the mont it shattered.
In the blink of an eye, the air current was swiftly absorbed by the heart of the Sword of Fear.
It gulped it down with a glug.
At the sa ti, Bai Xiao’s mind felt a chill, as if a spring of clear water was flowing down.
In front of him, the Four-dinsional Attribute Panel suddenly popped up.
[Your attribute "Will" 0.2!]
[Will: 159.0→159.2]
The Will Attribute increased by 0.2!
Though insignificant, it invigorated him nonetheless.
Bai Xiao instantly realized that these Yin Puppets were probably similar to the hypnotic props of the forr Eternal Sleep Sect’s hypnotists. The way it absorbed that black air current was very much like when it devoured the hypnotic props!
"Could it be..."
Bai Xiao’s mind was agitated like waves.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise this ti!
After his four-dinsional attributes broke through 140 and surged violently, his Will Attribute was indeed gradually falling behind. It was the only one among the four attributes that hadn’t crossed the significant threshold of 160. And at this mont, a golden opportunity appeared. If the scene just now held any generality, Bai Xiao might actually hit the jackpot! Probably second only to the Void Marrow.
"Of the three spiritual traces shattered, only one brought about Black Qi."
"I should experint a few more tis and see."
He stood quietly in place, his thoughts flickered rapidly for an instant.
"Bai Xiao, how was it?"
At this mont, Canaan, who had been waiting beside him, spoke up to inquire.
"It’s good, it’s useful."
Bai Xiao snapped back to reality and nodded towards Canaan.
"That’s great!"
Canaan exhaled a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.
This ti, the danger of re-entering the Blood God Sect had doubled. Bai Xiao’s Sword of Fear was indeed needed as a safety net. Otherwise, the area of the Blood God Six Palaces, with not only a plethora of Yin Puppets but also their ability to regenerate lost limbs, would be exceedingly troubleso.
But...
With Bai Xiao’s thod of severing the spiritual traces of Yin Puppets, things were different.
It killed from the root without giving any chance of limb regeneration.
"Let’s go, we first break through the outer region."
Canaan opened his mouth and spoke.
Imdiately, the three figures, stepping forward, sped through the open corridor like shadows constantly vaulting beneath the tall walls.
Along the way, whenever they encountered patrol squads,
they were directly annihilated by Bai Xiao’s Sword of Fear without the others even noticing!
The spiritual traces of the Yin Puppets shattered, instantly dissipating and weathering away.
By the ti the three of them traversed the patrol area, over twenty Yin Puppets had already perished under Bai Xiao’s hand. Among them, he harvested three Black Airs.
[Will: 159.2→159.8]
So had a bit more, so a bit less.
But on average, each held about 0.2 attribute points.
After this round of tests,
Bai Xiao basically figured out a pattern.
That is, the production of Black Air often happened with the patrol squad leaders.
Maybe it was that the stronger the individual, the more likely Black Air was produced?
"Whizz-whizz-whizz!"
Beside them was a towering white stone archway.
Bai Xiao and his companions rushed through at high speed to find themselves at the Martial Arts Arena of the outer region, recognized as a densely populated area of Blood God Sect disciples.
They initially thought that as soon as the three appeared, it would trigger a frenzy akin to a zombie siege. Unexpectedly, the Martial Arts Arena presented a bustling scene of martial training instead. Several black-clad instructors stood at the forefront with over a hundred Blood God Sect disciples mimicking their arm movents behind.
Each move, each punch and kick, was strikingly consistent.
As their footsteps landed, even the entire Martial Arts Arena quivered slightly.
"What’s going on?"
Bai Xiao squinted his eyes and glanced at Canaan beside him.
However, Canaan simply shook her head, looking equally bewildered.
"I don’t know either."
"These Yin Puppets seem more intelligent, more like living people now."
"It feels like it’s recreating the scenes from back then?"
She frowned tightly.
This bizarre scene before them made Canaan feel a slight chill. She wasn’t afraid of the emotionless, death-defying Yin Puppets, but the realistic scene at the Martial Arts Arena at this mont was indeed eerie.
