Chapter 120 Blood Pact
The waterfall roared, deafeningly loud.
Luo Qingchen hid beneath the pool, concealing herself with the white spray from the cascading waterfall.
Through the churning water, four figures could be vaguely seen.
But he couldn't hear a single word the other person was saying.
Three people were seen surrounding a woman with a slender figure, seemingly talking. But after only a few words, the woman suddenly flashed and unleashed a blinding sword light.
One person directly in front of them was slashed and sent flying.
The other two seemed startled and hurriedly took a few steps back.
At this moment, the woman suddenly stepped into the void, her black hair flowing freely, her dress fluttering, and she seemed to be chanting something. Then, the sword in her hand suddenly shone with a dazzling blue moon.
Immediately, she shone with radiance, as if a goddess had descended to earth!
Even though Luo Qingchen was in the icy pool, she immediately felt a terrifying chill rolling in from the surface of the water.
The other two people above seemed to be greatly alarmed upon seeing this. In a flash, they leaped onto the waterfall and fled in panic.
The other person also appeared to have escaped with injuries.
The woman still stood in the void, holding a dazzling sword, her long hair flowing, radiating a dazzling light, and exuding a terrifying aura.
But it lasted for less than two breaths before her light faded, her figure swayed a few times, and she suddenly fell from mid-air.
She fell heavily to the ground.
For a moment, he seemed unable to stand up.
But she quickly leaped up from the ground, instantly soaring onto the waterfall and disappearing from sight.
Luo Qingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wait, but suddenly noticed something was wrong. Looking up at the waterfall cascading down, she saw a figure caught in the water, which then fell into the pool with a "thud".
It just happened to fall right next to him.
This was truly a shock!
Thinking he had been discovered, he suddenly thrust the knife he had been holding forward with all his might!
The sharp tip of the knife was about to pierce the other person's chest when it was suddenly caught by the other person's two raised fingers.
No matter how hard he tried, the knife in his hand wouldn't budge an inch!
Just as he was filled with horror and preparing to abandon his knife and flee, he suddenly saw through the water that the three figures on the waterfall above him had returned, leaped down, and landed by the pool, looking around.
Just then, he suddenly felt a soft body wrap around him and press down on him, pushing him to the bottom of the pool.
Then, he pressed the knife against his own throat.
He lay on the bottom of the water, too afraid to move.
The woman clamped her legs tightly around him, lying on his back, equally motionless.
Water was above their heads, splashing everywhere and churning in the waves.
At the bottom of the pool, the two bodies were pressed tightly together.
After waiting a while longer.
Just as he was about to lose his breath, the woman wrapped around him suddenly lost her strength, her body went limp, and she released the knife from her hand. The two legs wrapped around him also suddenly lost their strength.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Qingchen suddenly jerked her head back, and it slammed into her forehead with a "bang".
Then, his elbow lashed backward, striking her chest hard and breaking her ribs, sending her flying.
He quickly picked up his knife and stabbed the man in the abdomen!
At this point, he could no longer hold his breath.
He looked up through the churning water and, not seeing the three figures again, immediately gripped his knife and swam up.
For safety's sake, he endured the immense force of the waterfall and peeked out from behind it.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
He breathed heavily while scanning the outside world warily.
Fortunately, those three people seem to have already left.
After waiting patiently for a while, just as he was carefully crossing the waterfall and preparing to climb ashore, he suddenly saw a figure floating up in the pool.
Her long hair was disheveled, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and there was a bloody hole in her abdomen. Her body rose and fell with the rolling waves, and it was unclear whether she was alive or dead.
Logically, after his elbow broke her ribs and a knife pierced her abdomen, coupled with her previous injuries, this woman should have had no chance of survival.
Luo Qingchen's gaze fell on the Blood Eagle emblem on the woman's chest. Thinking back to the woman's incredible swordsmanship, he secretly guessed that she must be an extremely powerful figure in the Blood Eagle Sect. Such a person would naturally carry many good things.
Thinking of this, he immediately gripped the knife and swam over.
After swimming closer, he reached out his knife and patted the other man's cheek. Seeing that the man did not react, he swam over and began to search him.
But after searching the person's entire body, he found no storage bags on them.
He then grabbed the other person's hands and checked them; there were no rings or anything like that on their fingers.
However, the other person was wearing a light green jade bracelet on their wrist.
"Could it be a storage bracelet?"
He immediately tried to take it off to check, but found that the jade bracelet seemed too small and he couldn't remove it no matter what he did.
Such a person, wearing such a jade bracelet, is definitely not ordinary!
Without any hesitation, he immediately picked up his knife, ready to chop off the other man's hand.
In this way, the jade bracelet on your wrist can be taken out.
Just as he raised his knife, ready to strike, the woman, who should have been dead, suddenly spoke: "This is a high-level magical artifact; you can't open it."
Luo Qingchen was startled. She raised her knife and, with a "whoosh," slashed it down directly at Luo Qingchen's head.
"Wait!"
The woman opened her eyes and stopped him.
Luo Qingchen stopped the knife in her hand on her forehead, her gaze falling on her open, cold eyes.
"Even if you kill me, you still won't be able to open it."
Her voice, like her eyes, was icy cold: "If you don't kill me, I can give you many benefits. Cultivation techniques, silver, treasures—whatever you want, I can give you."
Luo Qingchen stared into her cold eyes for a moment, then asked, "Are you about to die?"
The woman said, "I think so."
Luo Qingchen glanced at the thing on her wrist again, and without further hesitation, immediately picked her up, swam ashore, looked around, quickly went up the hillside, pushed aside the bushes, and went into the cave.
After leading her into the innermost cave, he immediately took out the thick iron chain used to tether magical beasts from his storage bag and tightly wrapped it around her entire body, binding her securely.
The woman lay there, only her head sticking out, her eyes open, staring at him without moving.
Is it necessary?
She spoke.
Luo Qingchen did not reply. She checked the iron chain again before leaving the cave to wipe away the bloodstains and traces outside.
Soon, he returned to the cave and stared at the woman on the ground.
The woman also opened her eyes and stared at him.
The dim light in the cave illuminated two faces: one handsome and wary, the other beautiful and cold.
"What do you want? Just say it."
The woman spoke first.
Luo Qingchen did not answer immediately. Seeing that she could still speak, she immediately got up and touched her left arm, only to find that her left arm was broken.
Seeing that her arm was broken and bound by thick iron chains, Luo Qingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her, saying, "Take out whatever you have on you."
The woman stared at him without saying a word.
Luo Qingchen said, "If you hand it over, I can let you die without pain. If you don't, I'll make you wish you were dead."
The woman looked at him with disdain, closed her eyes, and remained silent.
Luo Qingchen's gaze fell on her chest.
Her high, firm breasts rose and fell with her heavy breathing, a truly magnificent sight.
The woman seemed to sense his gaze and immediately opened her eyes: "What are you doing?"
Luo Qingchen ignored her and just stared at her.
The woman sneered: "I'm sick, I have venereal disease."
Luo Qingchen said, "Perfect timing, I have one too."
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "I have nothing on me; everything is in my cave. If you let me go, I'll give you anything."
Luo Qingchen looked up at her: "Where is your cave dwelling?"
The woman said, "Blood Eagle Sect."
Luo Qingchen reached out her hand.
The woman immediately gritted her teeth and said, "I have money!"
Luo Qingchen stopped and asked, "How much?"
The woman glared at him hatefully and said, "Twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand?"
Luo Qingchen's eyes flickered, and she said, "It's all on you?"
The woman seemed to catch his expression, her tense body relaxing slightly. Her voice was icy as she said, "They're all on me. However—my storage bracelet is a high-grade magic artifact; I can only open it after my cultivation has recovered somewhat."
Luo Qingchen stared intently at her beautiful face and cold eyes for a long while before asking, "Really?"
The woman said, "Really."
Luo Qingchen seemed to hesitate for a moment, then looked at her and said, "But you just said that you are about to die."
The woman breathed heavily for a few moments and said, "If you help me stop the bleeding, I won't die."
Luo Jingchen's gaze fell on the wound on her abdomen, but he did not move.
The woman asked, "You came to the Monster Forest, did you come for blood, or for the hides and flesh of monsters?"
Luo Dongchen said, "Take blood."
The woman said, "I have the corpse of a few magical beasts here. I have stored all their blood in a specially made leather bag, which can preserve it for at least seven days."
Luo Jingchen stared at her beautiful but pale face for a while, then said nothing more. He took out some wound medicine, tore open the clothes around her abdomen, and applied the medicine to her.
"It's on my legs too."
The woman spoke first.
Luo Jingchen lifted her skirt and, sure enough, discovered a horrific, deep wound on her right leg that revealed the bone.
So, I also helped her apply the medicine.
Then, they were all wrapped up with clean gauze.
Thank you.
The woman thanked him expressionlessly.
Luo Jingchen accepted Gan west, washed his hands, and sat down beside her, his gaze fixed on her, his expression rather strange.
The woman was clearly nervous under his gaze, and her high, firm breasts heaved even more violently.
"I'm not lying to you, I really do have venereal disease."
After a moment of silence, the woman spoke again.
She turned her face away from him and said, "You saw the blood eagle on my chest too? I'm from the Blood Eagle Sect, a demonic cultivator. I play with men every day, that's why I got this disease. Also, I practice the Joyful Union Technique, which allows me to drain men dry."
Luo Dongchen remained calm: "What a coincidence. I am a member of the Demon Extermination Sect and a cultivator of the Demon Sect. I also practice the Joyful Union Technique, which allows me to drain the life force of both men and women."
The woman's expression immediately changed.
By this time, it was getting dark outside.
Luo Qingchen took out a few pieces of dried meat from her storage bag, roasted them over the charcoal fire, and sat down to eat them slowly.
The woman's gaze remained fixed on him.
However, due to her severe injuries and the medication she had been given, and because she was exhausted when she was being chased, her eyelids soon began to droop.
Before long, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
After finishing the dried meat, Luo Jingchen extinguished the flame, took out the martial arts manual, and began to read it by the dim light of the oil lamp.
After watching for a while, his gaze fell on the woman again.
"Blood Eagle Sect————"
He muttered something to himself.
Unfortunately, he wasn't a powerful figure in the Demon Extermination Sect.
After reviewing the cultivation manual for a while, he turned off the light, lay down on the quilt, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The next day.
When he woke up, he found the woman staring at him with her icy, piercing peach blossom eyes, motionless.
I'm hungry.
Seeing that he had woken up, the woman spoke.
Luo Jingchen ignored her, got up and went to check the hidden weapons and stone dust on the ground at the passage and cave entrance. Seeing that there were no signs of tampering, he returned to the cave.
He approached the woman, carefully examined the chains binding her, and seeing nothing amiss, asked, "Do you want to live?"
The woman paused for a moment, then said, "I want to repay your kindness."
Seemingly afraid he might misunderstand, she added, "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for those people from yesterday."
Luo Qingchen said, "So you want to live? Then I'll give you two choices: one is to let me plant a blood pact in your body;
The other is death.
The woman stared at him with chilling eyes: "The blood pact of the Demon-Slaying Sect?"
Luo Jingchen said, "Yes. Your cultivation is far superior to mine. I only did this to prevent you from killing me after your injuries have healed. I have no other purpose."
The woman gave a cold smile: "Then you can kill me."
Luo Dongchen didn't say anything more. He took out his socks from his storage bag, stuffed them into her mouth, and then left the cave.
He was allowed to continue hunting monsters.
The woman may indeed have the blood of a demonic beast on her, but he would never dare to use it.
The other party was so badly injured yesterday. If it were an ordinary person, or even a cultivator as skilled as him, with broken ribs and a sword wound to the abdomen, even if he didn't die on the spot, he would probably only have half a life left. But judging from his appearance today, he is alive and well.
This shows just how terrifying the other side's true strength is.
Moreover, the other party was from the Blood Eagle Sect, which, like the Demon Control Sect, was a notorious demonic sect.
It's even rumored that the Blood Eagle Sect's disciples are even more ruthless and insidious.
Therefore, he must use a blood pact to ensure his safety.
"Whoosh!"
Once inside the forest, he focused intently on searching for the magical beast.
Time waits for no one!
Two months have passed, and he must break through to the Jinling Realm as soon as possible and return to the sect.
Otherwise, I would be worried sick about the Yuanhun Banner every day.
At midday, he finally heard the roar of the monster.
However, when he cautiously approached, saw the other person's appearance clearly, and smelled the terrifying aura emanating from them, he turned and ran almost without hesitation.
A gigantic leopard is devouring a newly captured demonic deer.
The demonic leopard was entirely black, with four plow-like claws and four protruding, sharp fangs. It was enveloped in extremely dense demonic energy, nearly a meter long, and exuded an extremely powerful aura.
More importantly, there was no smell of blood or wounds on the other person.
Therefore, he left decisively.
When hunting in such a place, he must make sure that his opponent has wounds before he dares to make a move.
After all, any magical beast that can survive here is definitely no ordinary creature.
He continued his search in other places.
By evening, they still hadn't found anything.
As he retraced his steps, he secretly pondered whether he should try going out at night.
Most of the monsters in Warcraft are active at night.
And those hunters mostly hunt at night.
If he goes out at night, he has a high chance of encountering magical beasts, and he also has a high chance of encountering injured magical beasts.
However, the chances of encountering hunting teams are not small.
To gain something, you naturally need to take risks.
As he walked towards the waterfall while thinking about this, his nose suddenly twitched, and his blood-sucking ability suddenly reacted.
The bloody smell of Warcraft!
He immediately followed the scent of blood in the air and headed into the woods on his right.
Soon, he discovered a cave behind some bushes on a hillside.
The entrance to the cave was dark, and some white fur lay on the ground, but it was impossible to identify what kind of animal it was.
He didn't dare go in. After thinking for a moment, he immediately took out two animal traps and placed them at the entrance of the cave.
Immediately, he walked to the top of the cave entrance, stretched out his palm, and activated his blood-sucking skill towards the clear smell of blood wafting from the cave.
Blood sucking!
"Whoosh!"
The next second, a stream of red and green blood suddenly flew out from the dark and deep cave and quickly entered his palm.
He was very worried, so he immediately continued to stretch out his palm and quickly suck into the cave.
"Aww—"
A roar suddenly came from deep within the cave.
But in that roar, there was not only shock, anger, and confusion, but also fear.
The monsters inside began to stir restlessly, making quite a commotion, seemingly wanting to rush out but hesitating.
While it hesitated, its blood was rapidly and continuously gushing out of the cave.
"Awooo————"
Soon, it became completely limp.
At this point, even if you wanted to break free, it would be too late.
When Luo Chen finished sucking the last drop of blood, the depths of the cave were completely at peace.
He glanced at the cave entrance and left immediately.
Now that we have the blood, there's no need to risk going into the cave.
Who knows if another monster or other dangerous creature might be lurking in the cave?
Inside his body, the amount of gilded blood has increased from 20/1000 to 50/1000.
That's enough for two medicinal baths.
Night fell quietly.
He quickened his pace and returned to the cave in the valley.
Before entering the cave, he first checked the rock dust at the entrance, and only dared to go in after finding nothing unusual.
Inside the cave, it was pitch black.
The woman was still tightly bound by chains, lying motionless in the corner.
Luo Jingchen went over and lit the oil lamp.
The dim light immediately illuminated the cave.
The woman's cold, piercing eyes were staring at him coldly in the darkness.
Luo Jingchen ignored her, started a fire, roasted some meat, and started eating it.
After he finished eating the meat, just as he was about to start brewing the medicine, the woman stirred and made a whimpering sound.
Luo Dongchen went over and removed the sock from her mouth, saying, "Have you figured it out?"
The woman's high, firm breasts heaved as she gritted her teeth and said, "I'd rather die! You—ooh—"
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Jingchen stuffed the sock back into her mouth and ignored her.
Light a fire and boil the medicine.
The woman lay in the corner, her mouth gagged, glaring at him hatefully.
After decocting the medicine, pour it into the bath tub for a medicinal bath.
At this moment, Luo Jingchen walked over, took out a piece of black cloth, and blindfolded her.
The woman began to struggle violently, thinking he was about to do something bad.
Luo Jingchen ignored her, walked to the bathtub, took off his clothes, and began his medicinal bath.
This time, he dripped 25 drops of gilded blood.
Soon, all the medicinal energy in the medicine was completely absorbed.
After the medicinal bath, he put on his clothes and began his cultivation.
The next day.
After finishing his swordplay routine, he went over and removed the sock from the woman's mouth, asking, "Have you figured it out?"
The woman gritted her teeth and cried out, "I... I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Jingchen stuffed the sock into her mouth again.
Three days later.
This time, Luo Dongchen removed the sock from her mouth and asked, "Now?"
The woman stopped gritting her teeth, paused for a moment, and said, "Give me something to drink."
Luo Qingchen took out a bag and dripped a few drops onto her lips.
The woman stuck out her tongue and greedily licked the drops off her lips.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Luo Qingchen put away the kettle and continued practicing his knife skills.
This time, however, he didn't try to shut the obedient woman up.
After he practiced the sword technique twice more, the woman finally spoke: "I can give you 50,000 taels of silver and some martial arts techniques."
Luo Jingchen sheathed his sword and looked at her, saying, "You only have 20,000 taels on you."
The woman said, "I can go back to my sect."
Luo Jingchen didn't say anything more. He went over, picked up the socks from the ground, and then covered her mouth again.
Two days later.
The woman said, "For ten thousand taels of silver, I can write a contract, press my bloody fingerprint, and sign my name."
Luo Jingchen ignored her and continued cultivating.
Two days later.
The medicinal energy absorbed by his body was finally completely refined.
Within his body, the cultivation progress has increased from 2350/3000 to 2500/3000.
And the gilded blood has 25 points left.
At the same time, his swordsmanship should be approaching the level of mastery.
have a break.
He went over and removed the sock from the woman's mouth, then roasted some jerky and sat down to eat it himself.
The woman remained silent, as if she were already dead.
But her high, prominent chest was still rising and falling slightly.
After a long pause, she finally spoke: "Apart from the blood pact, I can agree to anything you ask for."
Luo Jingchen ignored her.
After finishing the dried meat and drinking the donburi, he went over to pick up the socks and prepared to gag her again.
She added, "I haven't drunk any water or eaten all day, and I'm injured. I'm probably going to die soon. If I die, you'll get nothing."
Luo Dongchen thought for a moment, then took out a teapot and dripped a single drop onto her lips, saying, "You won't die."
As he spoke, he put down the teapot and touched her right arm.
My right arm, which had been fractured, had somehow been healed.
"It seems that, just to be on the safe side, I'll have to cut off one of your hands and one of your feet."
He removed the blindfold from the other person's eyes and drew his knife.
The woman's vision finally returned to light from the darkness. She stared at him for a moment, then said, "Why are you forcing me to sign a blood pact? What do you want me to do? Money? Cultivation techniques? My body? Or, a traitor within the sect?"
Luo Dongchen said, "As I said, your cultivation is much higher than mine. I feel very dangerous with you by my side. Therefore, I need to use a blood pact to ensure my safety."
The woman remained silent for a while, then repeated the same words: "I'd rather die."
Luo Jingchen didn't say anything more. He grabbed one of her hands and then raised the knife in his hand.
The woman stared at her coldly, without struggling or begging for mercy.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of light, and the woman's pupils visibly trembled.
Luo Jingchen's knife struck her wrist hard.
The woman trembled and looked down at her wrist.
But her wrist was not severed.
Luo Dongchen sheathed the knife, released her hand, and said, "This time it was the back of the blade; next time, if you secretly reattach your arm again, it will be a plow."
After saying that, he blindfolded her again with a black cloth and gagged her with a sock.
Then, I went out to check the layout of the cave entrance.
After finding nothing amiss, he started a fire to brew the medicine, preparing for another medicinal bath.
This time, he used 20 drops of gilded blood.
Five days later.
The medicinal energy within his body had been completely refined.
At this moment, the cultivation progress within his body has only increased from the previous 2500/3000 to the current 2600/3000.
The cultivation speed is indeed slow.
Fortunately, it kept growing, and there were only 400 points left.
However, he no longer had any gilded blood in his body that could be used for medicinal baths.
There are only 5 points left, which must be saved for use in an emergency.
After tidying up, he prepared to go hunting.
At that moment, the figure lying in the corner suddenly moved.
For the past few days, the other person has been lying there motionless.
Every time he took off her socks and asked her if she had come to a decision, she remained silent, refusing to utter a single word, as if she would rather die than submit.
Now she's actually moving.
"Have you figured it out?"
Luo Jingchen walked over and removed the sock from her mouth and the black cloth from her eyes.
We can't let her get used to the dark.
She must be constantly tossed between darkness and light, so as to continuously disrupt and wear down her will.
The woman stared at him with wide eyes, paused for a moment, and then said, "I'm hungry and thirsty."
Luo Dongchen picked up her socks and black cloth from the ground again, but then heard her say, "I promise you."
"Promise me what?"
Luo Jingchen asked.
The woman stared at him for a long while, then said in an unusually gentle tone, "I agree to sign a blood pact with you."
Luo Qingchen put down the socks and black cloth she was holding, looked at her and asked, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
A hint of resentment gradually appeared in the woman's eyes. She said, "I want to go back and repay Xing. I know that if I don't agree, you will surely starve me to death. Rather than die a humiliating death here, I choose to go back and repay Xing."
"And then commit suicide, right?"
Luo Qingchen added a sentence.
The woman said coldly, "It's none of your business."
Luo Chen got up, lit another oil lamp, and placed it in front of her, saying, "Don't worry, I don't have any grudge against you, nor do I intend to keep you by my side forever to humiliate you. Once the blood pact is signed, as long as you give me the 20,000 taels of silver you have, I will let you leave. According to the book, once you leave me for more than 500 li, I will no longer be able to sense you or command you. At that time, you will be free."
The woman stared at him for a moment and said, "It seems this is indeed your first time using the blood pact. My cultivation is much higher than yours, so after signing the blood pact, the distance is not 500 li, but 50 li. Once I exceed 50 li, I will be free, but if I enter the 50-li range again, you can still sense me immediately and command me."
After saying this, she stared intently at the expression on his face.
She deliberately said these things to see if he was sincere about what he had just said.
Luo Qingchen said calmly, "Don't worry, if I sense it again, I'll just ask you for some silver, if you have any."
The woman's eyes flickered, and she remained silent.
Luo Jingchen remained silent, patiently waiting for her to make her final decision.
"it is good."
A moment of silence.
She made her decision: "I'm willing to take the gamble."
Luo Dongchen didn't say anything more, took out a dagger, and slashed her forehead.
Then, he cut his own finger.
Then she spoke again, "What's your name?"
"Luo Dongchen".
"Shangguan Yunman."
She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and her chest heaved, clearly indicating that she was not at peace.
