Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 120 Blood God Child, Merit

After seven or eight hours of frenzied slaughter, Su Yu and Luo Qingchan finally retreated back into the city to rest.

He sold off the various loot he had collected, earning a total of 82 gold.

In addition, I accumulated 1058 million killing experience points and 1380 points of Taoist cultivation, which was incredibly satisfying.

Su Yu had 680 points of cultivation left, plus the 2060 points of cultivation she had just accumulated, and 74150 million cultivation points, which was enough to raise her Qi Refining Technique and cultivation level by another ten levels.

Without hesitation, he decisively opened the panel and his gaze fell on the Taibai Sword Scripture, which had not been upgraded for a long time. He consumed 345 million cultivation points and 600 points of Dao cultivation to upgrade the Taibai Sword Scripture to level 80.

Taibai Sword Technique Level 80: Flying sword damage +4800, attack speed +3200, sword control speed +3200 km/h.

The remaining cultivation points are 38600 million and the cultivation level is 1460.

He frowned, pondering which one to enhance: Thunder Magic or Heavenly Ghost Transformation.

"boom!"

Just as he hesitated, a deafening roar suddenly came from the south of the city, and the entire city shook violently.

"what happened?"

Immediately afterwards he heard the city bells ringing out, and someone shouting loudly:

"There is a special spirit in the south of the city that is difficult to deal with. We need to send some experts to the south of the city to resist it."

Su Yu immediately closed the panel and flew to the south of the city. He saw a sky full of blood-red light rising in the south of the city. Blood-red clouds gathered in the sky, and a blood-red sun seemed to be hanging in the center. The red light illuminated the world, and countless blood-red shadows shuttled back and forth in the air, flying and pouncing everywhere.

A blood-red shadow pounced on a player, causing the protective aura to distort violently and shatter quickly. The blood-red light passed right through the player, who then collapsed. Su Yu, with her sharp eyes, could vaguely see the blood-red light passing through the body and then seizing a struggling soul before flying into the blood-red clouds high in the sky.

Once the soul is captured, one is beyond dead.

"Blood God Child?"

Although it was the first time Su Yu had seen it, she recognized it from its appearance.

This thing is incredibly famous, said to originate from a supreme demonic technique called the Blood Nerve, which can create a monster called the Blood God Child. It can pierce through the body of anyone, human or animal, and steal their soul and spirit, killing them instantly.

Its most insidious aspect is that if a player is killed by this thing, it takes twenty or thirty years of lifespan to regenerate their physical body.

Su Yu immediately summoned the Azure Cloud Canopy, a treasure that is impervious to all magic and can prevent Blood God Child from launching a sneak attack.

Countless Blood God Children flew out from the blood cloud, shuttling back and forth on the city wall. Many defending players were bombarded and forced to retreat, and every now and then someone's defenses were breached and they were pounced on by the blood shadows and died.

Su Yu unleashed the Crimson Sky North Pole Immortal Thunder, which exploded with blazing white lightning, causing the Blood God Child within it to twist wildly as if collapsing.

But once the power of the lightning dissipated, the blood shadow reformed, only its color had dimmed considerably.

His move immediately attracted a group of Blood God Children to attack. He immediately urged his twin swords to meet them, but the Blood God Children dispersed into a large cloud of blood mist. The flying swords pierced through it, and the blood mist coalesced and transformed back into Blood God Children that pounced on him.

"leave!"

A dozen or so Blood God Children pounced on him, but were immediately repelled by the Azure Cloud Canopy. However, the magic weapon's defensive power dropped by tens of thousands, as this thing had extremely high attack power.

Su Yu immediately summoned the Wind and Fire Fan, and with tens of thousands of magical powers transformed into a breath of essence, he sprayed it into the precious fan and waved it fiercely. A large number of true flames flew out and condensed into hundreds of true flame fire thunders, which were then unleashed. These Blood God Children did not dodge or avoid, but met them head-on. With a loud bang, a large number of Blood God Children were blasted into disarray, and the blood mist was swept away by the true flames and turned into nothingness.

Killing a Blood God Child grants 1 point of merit.

Su Yu immediately became interested, took out the jade gourd, drank some spiritual wine to recover some of her magic power, and frantically waved the wind and fire fan to bombard the area.

On the other side, Luo Qingchan didn't use any other magic weapons, but instead activated her twin swords.

However, the Blood God Child, whom Su Yu's flying sword could not harm at all, was powerless against her sword. He was cleaved in two with a single strike and then dissipated into nothingness, unlike him, who was cut in half and then reassembled.

One sword, one kill, as easy as slaughtering chickens.

Su Yu understood the reason: she had grasped the true meaning of swordsmanship, and every sword strike contained sword intent that could directly attack the primordial spirit and soul.

The Blood God Child's core was merely a thought, not even a primordial spirit. With a single sword strike, it vanished into nothingness, naturally unable to maintain its form.

Sword cultivators who have grasped the essence of swordsmanship have embarked on the path of breaking through all laws with a single sword strike, making them the nemesis of such evil techniques, and defeating them is incredibly easy for them.

The two engaged in a frenzied slaughter, killing countless Blood God Children under their swords, and the collapsing Southern City gradually stabilized.

"A little merit."

"Another bit of merit."

Su Yu took out the jade gourd and drank a sip, while the fire fan in her hand danced wildly.

This thing is crafted from the true feathers of two divine birds. The flames it generates are no ordinary fire; they are the True Flame Thunder generated by a divine bird of level 200 or higher. It is incredibly powerful, dealing 5000 + 50% magic damage, while only consuming 50 mana.

High power and low mana consumption are the characteristics of magical artifacts.

In a short while, he accumulated 176 merit points, and he wished that the entire Crimson Tide was filled with Blood God Children.

But that's clearly impossible. Blood God Child is just one type of Crimson Tide Essence; there are many other types of Essence.

When the Blood God Child was blocked by the two of them, the threat level dropped significantly.

Soon, Qi Dongyang arrived with a group of reserve members to replace the guild members who had collapsed earlier and continue to guard the area.

He activated the Soul-Suppressing Bell, which rang out with a clanging sound. This magical artifact was also very effective against the Blood God Child. Invisible ripples spread out and swept over him, causing the Blood God Child's body to disintegrate as soon as the bell rang, and it took several seconds for him to reform.

"Brother Su, it's a good thing you came, otherwise the guild would have been in danger this time."

While waving his fan, Su Yu said, "Let's help each other and cooperate with each other."

“You deal with the other spirits, Blood God Child, leave it to us. I’m short of merit.”

"no problem."

Qi Dongyang immediately ordered his men to set up an array to intercept the other spirits.

With others intercepting the other spirits, Su Yu can concentrate on dealing with the Blood God Child.

At this moment, Luo Qingchan transmitted her voice and asked:
Do you need to accumulate merit?

He nodded and said:

"Yes, during the PK on Ten Thousand Poison Island, I obtained the Demonic Fire Golden Canopy. This thing was originally a ninth-tier Buddhist treasure, but to completely repair it and restore it to a ninth-tier Buddhist treasure, it requires at least 10,000 merits, which I am currently lacking."

She nodded thoughtfully, then changed her target to kill the other spirits around her, leaving the Blood God Child entirely to him.

Su Yu understood what she meant and gave her a gesture of thanks.

There were probably several thousand Blood God Children released from the blood-red clouds in the sky. Some were killed by Luo Qingchan, some were bombarded by the Divine Thunder Tower in the city, some were suppressed by Qi Dongyang, and more than a thousand were killed by him. He accumulated 1325 merit points in one go.

He had previously accumulated 1107 points of good deeds, and now has a total of 2432 points of merit.

"It's so cool!"

With the accumulation of merit, Su Yu vaguely felt some changes within herself, just like when she received a thousand merits last time. Her dusty mind was wiped clean, and her thoughts became clearer and more transparent.

"If one can accumulate 10,000 merits, will there be a qualitative change?"

He guessed that it was very likely that 10,000 merits would be a hurdle.

There are many more monsters like this in this Red Tide, and even more bosses. Hopefully, this wave of Red Tide will accumulate enough merit.

"It would be awesome if I could accumulate over 10,000 merits in one go."

As the Blood God's children all died, the blood-red clouds in the sky began to dissipate, which was completely unexpected. He had thought there would be a BOSS inside.

Without the Blood God Child, he could only honestly level up.

This time, he was too lazy to activate his twin swords. Without comprehending sword intent, his flying swords were still not as powerful as eighth-tier magic weapons within the Crimson Tide.

Wielding the Wind and Fire Fan, he swung it fiercely, creating howling winds and rolling fire and thunder. His nearly 90,000 units of magical power were enough for him to squander at will, fully unleashing the power of an eighth-tier magic weapon.

With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed dozens of wind blades and hundreds of True Flame Thunderbolts. Each wind blade and thunderbolt dealt up to eight thousand damage, instantly killing spirits of level fifty or sixty. When dozens of them swarmed in, no spirit of level less than one hundred could withstand a single burst of damage.

Even a spirit with two or three million HP at level 100 or above cannot withstand his fierce burst of 90,000 mana. With all his might, he can instantly kill someone, and his burst is terrifyingly high.

This is the power of a high-level magic weapon; as long as you have enough magic power, it can instantly kill a level 100 monster.

"There's a boss in the east of the city, experts come quickly."

"right away."

Su Yu and Luo Qingchan rushed over immediately and saw that Ao Run had rushed out of the city and was circling in the air, fighting a 200-meter-long, dark blue dragon.

Corpse Dragon (Elite): Level 152, Dragon type, the essence of a dragon imprisoned by the Red Tide of the Raging Sea.

Attributes: 403 million HP, 6 Demon Power, 41000 Attack Power, 550 km/h Speed; Demonic Arts: Bone-Corroding Corpse Poison, Corpse Fiend Blood Flame Aura
This corpse dragon was covered in a layer of bone-corroding corpse poison, constantly spewing out corpse fiery blood energy, which transformed into blades and halberds to slash at Ao Run.

Ao Run was shrouded in a layer of water, impervious to blades and halberds. His dragon claws lashed out repeatedly, causing sparks to fly from the iron-like body of the corpse dragon.

It would occasionally unleash a burst of icy air to freeze them, and then smash the ice into pieces with a single claw.

Occasionally, it would spew out long-unused dragon pearls that would mix into the noon cold tide, each time creating a large hole in the corpse dragon's dark blue body.

The Corpse Dragon, whose template was one rank lower and whose level was eight levels lower, was no match for Ao Run and was at a disadvantage from the start.

Located within the Red Tide, its essence has a 50% damage reduction buff, and its corpse is as hard as iron, which is why it was able to withstand the attack head-on. If it were a dragon of the same level outside, it would have been beaten to a pulp by Ao Run long ago.

"It's all here."

Reawakening the Thunderous Might, Luo Qingchan charged forward with her twin swords, abandoning all martial ethics, and joined the attack with her two ninth-tier flying swords.

The two men and the dragon beat the dragon mercilessly, taking nearly three minutes to finally kill the iron-hard corpse dragon.

The spoils were so-so, but he got a sixth-tier magic treasure and a sixth-grade spirit essence. He got the magic treasure, and randomly gave the sixth-grade spirit essence to Luo Qingchan.

Whether it's a magical artifact or a spirit, they're all just for making money; it doesn't matter who takes it.

The two of them worked together and each obtained 82 points of cultivation, which were the real treasures for them.

The two humans and the dragon continued their relentless and frenzied slaughter, returning to the city to rest for a while every six or seven hours before continuing.

After three consecutive breaks, the first day has passed.

At this time, the Red Tide had completely covered Rage Tide Island, and Rage Tide City was like a small boat on the sea, with occasional flying boats rushing out of the Red Tide and entering the city.

People kept resurrecting at the resurrection points in the city. Some were fallen members of the Rage Tide Guild, but most were scattered on the island or leveling up outside the island. The sudden outbreak of the Red Tide left them with no time to return and they could only find places to hide.

Red tides are everywhere, and even those hidden on the seabed cannot escape them.
