Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: Blood Pool Fiend
The Four Crowned Asura King is openly pursuing the Green Pearl.
In reality, he is secretly maneuvering to have the hidden Ari Shura King destroy the Blood Pool.
Such a grand scheme, it would be strange not to have a foolproof plan.
Jiang Fan felt secretly excited.
Once the Blood Pool is eliminated, Central Earth would finally have a glimmer of hope.
However.
The next moment, the pool water churned violently!
Five whirlpools appeared!
At first glance, it looked like nothing, but if you looked from above, you’d realize.
It was a person’s eyes, nostrils, and mouth!
A human face appeared in the Blood Pool!
This Blood Pool was actually alive!
And for this reason, the Space Storage Device couldn’t store it!
Because it has consciousness, once it resists, the storing function of the Space Storage Device would fail.
The eyes on the face glared wide, the corners of the mouth turned down.
It presented an expression of anger.
Terrifying negative emotions surged out.
The vast Ancient Sky Pit shook violently, and countless black cracks appeared in the void with creaking sounds.
Like a mirror shattered but still held together!
On the verge of shattering at any moment!
Even Jiang Fan, ten miles away, had void cracks appearing in front of him.
He was startled and quickly carried the Green Pearl to flee far away.
As for the Ari Shura King, standing at the center of the cracks, the attack he suffered was imaginable!
His body emitted dense cracking sounds.
The surface was covered with countless cracks.
Like a shattered porcelain doll.
About to explode in the next moment.
Blood gushed out from his seven orifices, accompanied by a large amount of Yin Qi.
His face showed extreme pain.
He couldn’t resist the emotions of the face mask!
But he was not afraid.
Instead, he took out a crystal, laughing angrily:
"I’ve long known the Blood Pool has sentience!"
"This is for you!"
The crystal burst with an incredibly intense Holy Light!
Under the illumination of the light, the giant face immediately twisted, and a wailing sound emanated from the pool water.
As the Ari Shura King threw the crystal into the pool.
With a loud bang!
All the blood water was blasted up, and in mid-air transformed into a humanoid blood-colored entity!
This, is the true form of the Blood Pool!
At this moment, the light-filled crystal was embedded within its body.
Causing the humanoid entity to writhe, twist, and struggle in agony.
Its body gradually turned into blood water, dripping back into the pool.
This being in the pool was being killed.
Once it died, this Blood Pool would no longer be as difficult to deal with as before.
As long as one could get close, the Space Storage Device could store it!
However.
Before the Ari Shura King could rejoice, the ferocious spirit in the Blood Pool gave him a fierce glare.
Before vanishing, it raised a finger pointing at the Ari Shura King!
An unprecedented vast darkness poured into his body!
Ari Shura King clutched his head in pain, howling, and struggled violently in mid-air.
His body rapidly swelled.
He was actually transforming into a Giant King.
But under his strong will, he reverted back to the Asura Clan.
Yet didn’t last long, his body swelled once more.
In an explosion of blood mist, he transformed into a Giant King over twenty-something zhang in height!
Three purple stars lay on his forehead.
He was evidently a Three-Star Giant King!
Jiang Fan, far off, had a grim expression.
The Blood Pool wasn’t thoroughly cleansed, yet instead, there was a Three-Star Giant King?
Even a One-Star Giant King was exceedingly troublesome.
Let alone a Three-Star one?
And next, what made Jiang Fan’s heart leap madly was.
The Three-Star Giant King suddenly turned his head to look over.
His gigantic eyes stared at Jiang Fan and the Green Pearl!
He had just become a Giant King, memories of his past Asura Clan had completely vanished.
At this moment, he was just an existence wholly dominated by slaughter, greed, gluttony, and other negative emotions!
To him, Jiang Fan and the Green Pearl were both food.
Roar!
He opened his mouth and roared, the emanating shockwave was almost solidified.
Sweeping in with overwhelming force.
Jiang Fan’s scalp tingled!
Decisively he carried the Green Pearl and fled using Cloud Shadow.
However.
The shockwave scattered his Thunder Dragon on the spot and both of them fell together.
The Green Pearl, stirred awake by the violent impact, fluttered her eyes open.
The first thing she saw was Jiang Fan’s face, blood dripping from his mouth corners, showing a pained expression.
She bewilderedly turned her head.
An imposing, over twenty-something zhang tall Giant King with three stars on his forehead appeared before her eyes.
"Zhu Ri?"
"He transformed into the Giant King?"
Her pupils contracted.
She instantly understood her predicament.
Severely injured with no strength even to move, how could she stop him?
She couldn’t escape death.
Drip!
A drop of warm blood fell on her cheek.
Only then did she realize, she was being held.
She was able to come back to life due to Jiang Fan’s rescue.
"Put me down and run for your life."
She weakly struggled, trying to leave Jiang Fan’s embrace.
Jiang Fan, however, held her tightly, gazing unblinkingly at the Three-Star Giant King, his eyes grave:
"You are my wife, I must protect you."
Things haven’t reached the last step yet.
He still has a sliver of hope.
The Green Pearl’s delicate body trembled.
Her heart seemed to be struck by a stroke of electricity.
Facing a Three-Star Giant King, Jiang Fan was still determined to protect her.
Doesn’t Jiang Fan know that he might die?
She looked at Jiang Fan, her gaze tender for the first time:
"Fool, that’s a Three-Star Giant King."
"He could kill you in one move."
"You have a Space Imprint, you can use Instantaneous Movement to escape."
"Don’t worry about me anymore, it’ll drag you down."
Jiang Fan looked down at her, slightly smiled and said:
"Have you forgotten what your husband said?"
"If the whole world is your enemy, then my enemy is the whole world!"
"What is a mere Three-Star Giant King?"
The Green Pearl’s heart trembled, her elegant eyes widened slightly.
Previously, when Jiang Fan said this, she just smiled softly.
How could there really be such a foolish man in the world?
Now, she saw it.
There truly was a foolish man, risking everything, willing to be at odds with the entire world for her.
Her heart felt as if a hammer had struck it hard.
Breaking open the closed door of her heart.
A long-lost sense of being moved gradually emerged.
Yet following it was immense guilt.
Jiang Fan viewed her as a beloved wife worth protecting with his life, while she saw him only as a tool for use.
Her eyes dimmed, she said softly:
"You’d better leave."
"I’m not worth it."
How could Jiang Fan leave?
He still needed the Green Pearl to form an alliance with the Four Crowned Asura King.
"Wife, don’t speak words of despair."
"I will always stand in front of you!"
Immediately he took out the Void Fishing Rod and cast it towards the direction of the Blood Pool.
His only hope was that crystal that fell into the Blood Pool, containing Holy Light.
It was capable of restraining the Blood Pool.
And in description, it was identical to the Holy Crystal Ming Ye obtained!
If they were the same thing.
Then this crystal would allow Zhu Ri, the Three-Star Giant King, to revert back to the Asura Clan!
If they weren’t the same.
Then Jiang Fan still had a chance to escape.
Green Pearl would just have to rely on herself.
With a swoosh.
Jiang Fan mentally envisioned the crystal, and the fishing line flew out.
The next moment, it caught the crystal.
He tugged sharply without hesitation.
A shining, slightly dim crystal was pulled back!
The Holy Light on it was far less potent than at the beginning.
It was all consumed in the fight against the ferocious spirit of the Blood Pool.
The remaining bit of Holy Light, hopefully, would work.
He grabbed the crystal.
Before he could take any action.
The air in front of him suddenly shook tremendously.
A terrifying aura, along with a giant shadow, enveloped them.
The Three-Star Giant King leapt and landed in front of them!
A giant vertical eye, under the illumination of the three purple star lights.
Appeared exceptionally ferocious!
