God Of Immortals

Chapter 73: Blood Blade [I]

Since the revelation of Blood Blade, the village center had gone distinctly quiet. All the gathered villagers had since disappeared from the vicinity of the area. Some, in their little understanding, had barricaded themselves in their homes while the most discerning had simply left the village in high speed and were watching from afar. Only high level blood cultivators could shape-shift conveniently and avoid any detection from lower levelled cultivators. 

Unless, through a shape-shifting seal? Ah, the dream and illusion cultivators could easily create such illusions too. The crazy world of cultivation.

Looking at the villagers who were watching from afar, elder Cao Wang Xiu shook her head. Why wouldn't they run for their lives? The situation was already beyond the height of mere mortals. The man in black robe was already an immortal cultivator beyond ordinary comprehension. He was one of the cultivators who could easily cause the destruction of the whole place in seconds. That would certainly result in the death of hundreds or thousands of innocent mortals. Any bystander would simply be a part of the casualties.

That was the major reason why only the avatars, and not the true physical bodies, of the heavenly gods were permitted by the universe to enter the mortal plane. The utter destruction that could occur from exposure to their conflicting powers would be too devastating for any mortal worlds. The avatars of the heavenly entities contained lesser powers which the mortal plane could still handle.

Blood Blade keenly observed elder Wang Xiu for few seconds before smiling bitterly.

"Cao Wang Xiu. I've been patiently waiting for you for some time. I knew you'll come eventually."

Elder Wang Xiu trembled slightly when she heard those words. Why in heavens tears would an extremely dangerous being, a murderer of innocent children, be waiting for her here? Oh, why her at all? She knew from the records of The Dominants, what the name of this black robed man meant. Peril and death. That's what. And she was now staring into his very eyes.

At that time, she realised she took a mortal risk with the talisman. It wasn't even the power of the truth revealing seal that exposed the identity of the black-robed man. The man intentionally revealed himself. 

The legendary Blood Blade.

An Immortal at the peak of cultivation on the mortal plane. Named Blood-Blade after his luminous red sword, his level of power could only be imagined. A sword made from the mythical red primitium and the core of an ancient Spada-beast. Only extremely powerful martial artists who had left great marks on any planes could take the name of their swords. And Blood-Blade was one of them.

He was a double elements affiliate, representing the dream and illusion, and lightning. He had already reached the gates of the heavenly precinct of mystical arts. Without holding his legendary sword, he could manifest a higher degree of dreams and illusions or lightning than before. The most terrifying was the web of red lightning of his mystical arts, produced through his sword. It was almost compressed into a single streak of stroke, but packed with more devastating power.

Those were the traits of the gods and celestials.

From what she had learnt, he was categorized as a high tempered danger. A complete lunatic with extreme powers. All his battles had been frightening, according to the detailed information. They said during battles, his anger would always take hold of him. Hence, he wouldn't be able to differentiate friends from enemies. Although he tried to control his temper, especially during a normal mortal dealings, his temper would still come to the fore every now and then.

His planet of origin was not quite clear, but some fingers are pointing at a major human world known as Taiyuan. A world of dangerous and deadly cultivators. Not many mortal worlds could boast of such reputation.

As she continued looking at the legendary Blood-Blade, information from the archives of the dominants started flooding into Cao Wang Xiu's head.

Every plane had records of its exceedingly powerful figures and their impactful deeds. Entities who demanded honour from the other cultivators. They were the figures who others needed to be watchful and careful of. Some of them were peaceful and easy going, but tremendously deadly. While others were petulant in nature and intensely dangerous.

Only adequate knowledge of who they were, could help others to avoid courting death if they were to be faced. For the mortal plane, it was the records of the dominant.

The Dominants.

They were the extremely powerful figures from the mortal plane. Although they came from different mortal worlds, their names were known throughout the mortal plane due to their displays of powers. Some of them were in possession of divine treasures, some had luminous treasures or combination of both. 

Anyhow it was perceived, one thing was certainly clear. A cultivator must have at least two total grade luminous treasures and displayed tremendous power to be considered as a dominant out of trillions of people in different worlds on the mortal plane.

The deeds of those powerful figures were recorded in the archive of The Dominants.

There were some dominants that were peaceful in their daily dealings but extremely deadly when crossed while there were some that were dangerously hazardous whether they were crossed or not. The second group of dominants were to be avoided at all cost for the simple reason involving their petulant nature. In that second group was Blood Blade. A dangerously hazardous cultivator. Many were the immortal cultivators who had died in his hand.

Elder Wang Xiu stared apprehensively at Blood Blade, occasionally glancing at his red robe in wonderment. Even his robe was a luminous treasure. It was said to change colour according to the state of his heart. When in battle, it would change to red the colour of his heart, and at that time, he would only see red.

"Why do you belittle me, Wang Xiu?"

Blood Blade grimaced at Elder Wang Xiu before shaking his head slowly."Many children have died due to rogue blood cultivation.How can you, in your silly little head, associate me with those crazy blood cultivators? Or is it because of what they call me, Blood Blade? Who do you even think I am, Wang Xiu?"

He continued shaking his head dejectedly.

"Ah, maybe you don't really know me at all. Or, you know, but can't really comprehend. It's truly sad how this life's changing for the worst."

Suddenly, his expressions changed and he glared at Cao Wang Xiu in anger.

"Now, keep your thoughts silent and listen. Those death were not due to my actions. If I was in a bad mood, I would have thrown you off this planet. If you had paid more attention, perhaps you could have seen what was in front of you. But no, silly head. You didn't. You were more focused on me, despite me being the one drawing your attention. You should have seen through it as a golden core, you fool."

Blood Blade, realizing he was loosing his temper, stopped and smiled.

"Wang Xiu, you should be more careful next time."

"Huh?"

"Don't loose focus on the details of your surroundings, you silly. Do you even know you are inside my force-field?"

"Huh?"

Seeing the expression on her face, he gave a bitter smile.

"Aha, I thought as much. Focus Wang Xiu, focus. You are inside my force-field of illusion. From outside, they would be seeing the two of us having a standoff. I will hold this only for few minutes to avoid any form of suspicion."

Elder Wang Xiu was contemplating furiously in her head. What suspicion? What was he talking about? Was he not the Xue Ku? Was he trying to take her for a fool? She had used the light revealer, and he had reacted. That made him guilty. Wasn't it?

"If it was me, you would have been dead already, Wang Xiu."

He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked intensely at elder Wang Xiu who was having a confused look.

"The one who committed the acts was already waiting for you outside this force-field. Yes, the one who called himself Yan Dai. To create a good ground between me and you, I'll tell you what you failed to see. The girl you are seeing tied to the tree was actually a male cultivator at the peak stage of the golden core stage. And you see the chains, they were total grade heavenly weapons."

Blood-Blade looked at Cao Wang Xiu and pointed to the ground they were standing on. 

"On this ground is the Thousand-Wraith seal meant for you and you walked straight into it. I don't know what connects you two together, but the blood cultivator is seeking your death, by the looks of it. Not that it matters to me, but if not for me, you would have been dead by now. I can't allow that to happen."

Shrugging, he lowered his voice.

"Not that I really care. Okay, maybe I care a little bit. You see, me and you have a settlement to make."
