256 Unexpected Changes
“Father!”
Shen Rulin exclaimed and subconsciously reached out to hug his father, but then he felt something sticky to the touch on his hand.
He retracted his hand. Halfway through, he smelled the strong smell of blood.
The smell made Shen Rulin’s mind go blank. As his breathing gradually became heavier, a red light slowly crept into his eyes in the darkness…
!!
…
At Sword Grave, on the stone platform in the pool.
Lin Ran slashed out a hundred sword energies to repair the cage. He couldn’t remember how many times he had done it.
At first, Lin Ran thought that the violent sword intent was triggered by Huo Qiyun or Xiao Huai, but he quickly knew that it was not the case.
First of all, the trajectories of these sword intents were completely irregular, like fallen leaves in a violent wind.
Secondly, their power was also different. In the beginning, the sword intent that appeared was only about the sixth level of the Senior Martial Master Realm. As time passed, the later the sword intent appeared, the stronger it became. Now, it had already soared to the shocking sixth level of the Senior Grandmaster Realm, increasing by two realms!
Although it was still much weaker than Lin Ran’s realm, the power of such a huge amount of sword intents hitting the sword energy barrier at the same time was something that even a sixth level Half-Saint couldn’t withstand.
Most importantly, only less than a minute had passed since the sword intents erupted. No one knew if more powerful sword intent would appear next.
After repairing the barrier again, Lin Ran subconsciously turned to look at Xiao Huai.
Because the sword energy barrier blocked the evil aura from entering, Xiao Huai’s condition had completely stabilized. She lay on the ground with her eyes closed, looking like she was asleep.
Lin Ran knew that this was not conducive to her recovery, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn’t leave Xiao Huai outside in the sword intent storm just to let her recover, right?
Lin Ran sighed and gritted his teeth. He looked at Huo Qiyun casually. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
After staring at Huo Qiyun’s face for three seconds, Lin Ran suddenly realized that Huo Qiyun had gained weight.
Although he didn’t know what was going on, Huo Qiyun’s face was indeed rounder than usual and he wasn’t as thin as before. However, this change was very subtle, so Lin Ran didn’t notice it at first.
After realizing this, he was puzzled. Huo Qiyun had been starving here for two to three days. Not only had he not lost weight, but he had also gained weight. Could it be that he was really like a plant that could rely on its roots to absorb nutrients after being “planted” into the ground?
Wait…
Lin Ran’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly reached out and lifted Huo Qiyun’s clothes. At a glance, he was shocked!
At some point, the thumb-thick tree root-like things on Huo Qiyun’s waist had already grown to the thickness of a wrist. The flowing dark red vessels on it turned into a demonic red color that was continuously pouring into Huo Qiyun’s body.
Lin Ran instantly realized that the sword energy barrier he set up could block the surrounding sword intent and evil aura, but it had no effect on these roots that were rooted in the ground.
At this moment, Huo Qiyun was like a balloon. The energy of the entire Mount Sword was replenishing his body through the roots.
Most importantly, Xiao Huai had already been separated from Huo Qiyun. In other words, other than the sword intent that permeated Mount Sword, the evil aura and violent killing intent in Sword Grave were also entering Huo Qiyun’s body.
If ordinary people were exposed to the evil aura and killing intent, it was very likely that their minds would be affected. At this moment, these things were directly injected into Huo Qiyun’s body. God knew what the consequences would be!
“Damn Liu Hongshan!”
Lin Ran gritted his teeth and cursed. Without caring about the chain reaction, he swung his sword at the “root” at Huo Qiyun’s waist.
Unexpectedly, although this thing looked like a tree root, it was actually not tough. The sword easily cut it off. Immediately after, the “tree root” that was broken into two began to quickly turn black and rot. A nauseating stench immediately floated in the air.
Lin Ran took a light breath and immediately felt like vomiting. He realized that this smell might be poisonous and quickly controlled the sword energy barrier to open a few air vents to send the smell away with the help of the strong wind outside.
After doing all this, Lin Ran looked at Huo Qiyun and realized that the rotten “root” had already left his body. There was a dark brown circular mark where the root connected to the body, looking like a burn.
This discovery shocked Lin Ran. Since this thing did not really “grow” from Huo Qiyun, it meant that Huo QIyun might not have really been “planted” into the stone platform.
However, before Lin Ran could check further, Huo Qiyun suddenly let out a muffled groan. Then, his expression turned ferocious. His sword-like eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and he gritted his teeth, as if he was enduring some great pain.
Boom!
An explosion sounded. The aura of a sixth level Grandmaster spread out with such force that it almost shattered the sword energy barrier set up by Lin Ran!
When Lin Ran came back to his senses, Huo Qiyun’s realm had already entered the first level of the Senior Grandmaster Realm!
Huo Qiyun’s strength had increased by two realms in one go, and his body was very likely to collapse because of this.
As expected, the aura of the first level of the Senior Grandmaster Realm appeared for less than a second before it returned to the peak of the ninth level of the Senior Grandmaster Realm.
Almost at the same time, a few bloody wounds suddenly burst open on Huo Qiyun’s body. The flesh on the wounds looked horrible. As soon as they appeared, Lin Ran knew something was wrong with his body.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Qiyun’s aura fell to the sixth level of the Grandmaster Realm, and it showed no signs of stopping.
At the same time, more than ten wounds appeared on Huo Qiyun’s body. Fine cracks appeared on his skin, as if his body could not contain such a huge amount of energy and could explode and die at any moment.
At the critical moment, Lin Ran didn’t have time to think carefully. He subconsciously reached out and pressed his hand on Huo Qiyun’s chest. The Regal Technique: Sovereign Descent was instantly activated!
Immediately after, a huge sword intent mixed with endless killing intent and evil aura overwhelmed Lin Ran, destroying everything like molten iron. However, it carried an extremely cold temperature, as if it could even freeze one’s soul.
Lin Ran’s expression instantly changed. This power was definitely not something a human could control, not even him, a half-saint!
