Chapter 2494: Chapter 2497: Erasing the Mark

"Mr Jiang, why suddenly ask about this?"

Jiang Chen’s reaction just now proved he was not aiming to pursue Liu Yunxia and the others again, leaving Yan Li somewhat puzzled.

"Hu Zi, Jin Hu, and I once killed five people from the Spirit Sword Sect. After killing them, the Blood Soul Mark was planted on us, but upon checking, I could not find where the Blood Soul Mark was planted!"

Jiang Chen explained softly.

"You, you have Blood Soul Marks on you!?"

Yan Li exclaimed in surprise, then furrowed his brows tightly.

"The Blood Soul Mark is planted in the blood, and ordinary probing cannot detect it at all. This time, the saint’s corpse spirit relic appeared on the abandoned plain. Though not a regular relic, without many treasures, it’s likely to contain the spirit treasure used by the saint before his fall, and certainly a saint-level necro spirit will appear."

Yan Li explained softly, "These things greatly lure saints. While the Sword Sect may not dispatch a saint, a Semi-Saint will surely come; by then, they may come for you!"

"Within the blood?"

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then his eyes brightened, "If it’s planted in the blood, perhaps I have a way to find it. Once it’s erased, we won’t need to fear that Semi-Saint powerhouse."

"You can erase it?"

Yan Li opened his eyes wide in astonishment, looking at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled gently, "I’ll give it a try."

Sitting cross-legged, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes.

In the Sea of Consciousness.

The blood-colored liquid cluster began to flow, emerging from the Sea of Consciousness and entering Jiang Chen’s blood.

Hiss...

A bone-chilling cold surge welled up in his heart, causing Jiang Chen’s face to turn instantly pale.

Though Jiang Chen could mobilize this Blood Fiend Liquid Cluster, in the end, it was not his own thing. It was coagulated by the Dragon Qi left by the Blood-colored Divine Dragon, containing Blood Fiend Aura, inducing a chilling feeling even within Jiang Chen.

Who is this Blood-colored Divine Dragon, if the Golden Divine Dragon is Lord Ancestral Dragon?

This thought flashed in Jiang Chen’s mind, but was soon overwhelmed by the piercing pain hitting his entire flesh.

Yan Hu and Yan Li’s faces changed, with Jiang Chen’s face revealing an eerie blood color amid its pale complexion, his body shaking violently, his handsome face twisted as if enduring enormous pain.

"What is going on here?"

Yan Li looked at Jiang Chen with a mix of astonishment and helplessness.

Yan Hu slightly furrowed his brow, deep worry emerging in his eyes, understanding Jiang Chen’s experiences. Unable to imagine the pain Jiang Chen was enduring to twist his expression so.

"Foolish child! Can you easily endure the energy of Xue Kuang? Isn’t Dragon Qi within your body? Wrap Xue Kuang’s Blood Fiend Dragon Qi with Dragon Qi to neutralize it, easing the pain!"

A vast voice echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind, his instinct immediately responding to the suggestion by mobilizing Dragon Qi in his acupoints.

Roar!

The sound of a dragon’s roar arose within Jiang Chen, golden streamers infiltrating his flesh, wrapping the blood-colored liquid cluster.

Instantly, Jiang Chen felt immense relief, the severe pain disappearing, leaving a desire to shout aloud in comfort.

Hmm? That voice just now was...

Suddenly, Jiang Chen reacted with the Divine Infant in the Sea of Consciousness gleefully looking into deeper parts of the Sea: "Martial Spirit senior, is that you?"

Waiting for a moment without any response, Jiang Chen’s Divine Infant murmured softly, "Asleep again?"

In the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, the True Dragon Martial Spirit gazed once at the center of the Sea, smiled slightly, and closed its eyes as a mumbling voice rose in the dark depths, "Little one, now isn’t the time for us to meet, grow quickly!"

Jiang Chen’s attention sank into his body, controlling the Blood Fiend Liquid Cluster wrapped in Dragon Qi, carefully searching every inch of flesh.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a peculiar wave emitted from a spot near his heart.

Jiang Chen’s heart leapt with joy, extending the Blood Fiend Liquid Cluster over.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A dense bloody radiance shimmered in the blood, revealing a faint Primordial Spirit Aura within.

"It’s you, then!"

Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a smile as he focused his mind.

Wow!

The blood-colored liquid cluster shone brightly, with formidable Blood Fiend Force emerging fiercely striking the blood-colored light cluster infused with Primordial Spirit Aura.

"Damn it! No matter who you are, for killing my disciple, you’ll face annihilation!"

An enraged roar came from the blood-colored light cluster.

Bang!

A small explosion sounded, with the Blood Fiend Force hitting the cluster, causing it to disperse instantly.

Outside.

Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, spitting out a cloud of blood-colored mist.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Yan Hu spoke anxiously, looking at the blood-colored mist filled with concern.

"Don’t worry, I’m alright. I’ve already eliminated the Blood Soul Mark on me. Hu Zi, extend your hand, let me help remove it for you as well!"

Jiang Chen smiled gently, shaking his head slightly, and gestured to Yan Hu.

"Eliminated!? You really can erase the Blood Soul Mark!?"

Yan Li exclaimed, looking at Jiang Chen with disbelief.

"I ask for Senior Yan Li’s secrecy on this matter."

Jiang Chen turned to Yan Li earnestly.

Yan Li nodded emphatically, responding solemnly, "Mr Jiang, rest assured, this matter will not leave me."

Understanding the severity, not considering Spirit Sword Sect enmity, Jiang Chen would face unending trouble if news spread of his ability to break the Blood Soul Mark.

...

At the outskirts of the abandoned plain near the Central Region.

A team quietly followed several golden-clad youths ahead.

Suddenly, the leading elder’s face changed, showing a mix of astonishment and anger in his eyes.

"Third Elder, what happened?"

A nearby youth asked in confusion.

"Among those who killed Xiaozhi, one has erased the Blood Soul Mark I planted on him!"

The elder spoke with a gloomy expression.

The youth froze, shocked, "Erased the Blood Soul Mark? How is that possible?"

"Indeed it is..."

The elder spoke with anger, but his expression shifted to icy murderous intent, "Another mark erased!"

"This..."

The youth’s shock deepened, resentfully glancing at the blurry golden figures ahead, whispering, "Should we avenge Brother Zhang at the remaining Blood Soul Mark before it also gets erased?"

"No need, following these mice will lead us to the semi-saint relic, the third Blood Soul Mark isn’t with the previous two."

The elder shook his head, greedy determination in his eyes, "Erasing the Blood Soul Mark must have utilized powerful treasures against the Primordial Spirit. Upon catching the last carrier, I’ll interrogate thoroughly!"
