Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 274 You can get anything you want... as long as you can do it!

"Who?!"

Lingquan was startled and shouted loudly, looking up and around. But the next second, he was so shocked by what he saw that his whole body went numb.

The ancient holy city ruins, which were just moments ago filled with broken walls and rubble, have vanished, replaced by a gray void!
Visible spatial energy surged all around, like countless transparent ribbons wrapping and tumbling!
"This is... spatial power that only a Dou Zun expert can control? No, that's not right! There are still Dou Sheng elders from our clan stationed in the city..."

Could it be! "

Lingquan's voice trembled, and cold sweat instantly soaked the back of his clothes.

He was merely a Dou Huang, how could he possibly deserve the personal intervention of a Dou Sheng-level expert, who would even create such a special space just for him?
"Don't panic, lift your head."

The same faint voice rang out again, echoing clearly in the void, carrying a strange soothing power.

Lingquan slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

Immediately afterward, a figure came into his view.

It was an eerie man in purple robes. He was tall and had such a noble air that people dared not look him in the eye, but he had a strange smile on his face and his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

"Who are you……"

Lingquan's Adam's apple bobbed violently twice, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the bleeding hand.

"My name is Phoenix Emperor."

Lingquan frowned. "Phoenix Emperor? Never heard of him."

But he dared not say those words aloud.

Su Yun lowered his eyes, taking in the confusion and fear on Ling Quan's face, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "No need to doubt, a lowly being like you was not worthy to know my true name in the past."

A nameless fire surged within Lingquan, but he dared not speak out.

Su Yun's tone remained calm, but he dropped a bombshell that shocked Ling Quan.

"If we really have to give a code name that is known to the world, then it would be the Son of the Dragon and Phoenix."

"You are the son of the dragon and the phoenix?!"

Lingquan's pupils dilated sharply, and his gaze toward Su Yun was filled with shock.

He subconsciously suspected that Su Yun was lying to him. Why would the son of the Dragon and Phoenix come to cause him trouble?
But in other words, how could someone like him be worthy of a saint's special effort to tease him?
Lingquan was somewhat convinced, but his expression was uneasy as he asked, "What is your purpose in seeking me out?"

“I know you, Lingquan, you have a grudge against Xiao Jibai.”

Ling Quan's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "You want to use me to deal with Xiao Jibai?"

Trying to mess with me? You really dare to dream of that!
Su Yun chuckled inwardly, shook his head slightly, and said, "I have thought so too, but unfortunately, you are not qualified."

"you!"

Lingquan clenched his fists tightly, tearing open the wounds on his palms and causing blood to gush out again.

He could clearly sense the disdain in the other person's words, but he was powerless to refute them.

With his current strength, he is indeed not qualified to deal with Xiao Jibai!
Su Yun's lips curled into a bewitching smile, and she changed the subject, saying, "However, it would be best for someone like you to become a parasite on the human race."

"What do you mean?"

Lingquan narrowed his eyes.

"literal meaning."

Su Yun slowly said, "Your heart is full of hatred, and perhaps the root of it all is just Xiao Jibai."

But as time goes on, you begin to hate your family, your old friends, the girl you admired... and even everything you see.

Your hatred will become a destructive force, attacking everyone indiscriminately, and that is exactly what I need.

Su Yun gently stretched out his palm, and a Gu worm, shaped like a head and glowing with an eerie blood-red light, slowly floated out from his sleeve and hovered in front of Ling Quan.

The Gu worm's surface was covered with fine lines, and it was wriggling slightly, emitting a faint, bloody smell that made people nauseous. Lingquan almost vomited.

"This thing is called Blood Skull Gu. It is an ancient secret technique that can absorb the blood of your own kind and in turn enhance your own bloodline power."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Quan's face instantly showed disbelief. Devouring the bloodline of others to enhance oneself... this is definitely a demonic artifact!
Su Yun smiled and said, "Even if your bloodline was destroyed by Xiao Jibai, it doesn't matter. With this item, you will soon be able to regain your former bloodline and even reach new heights."

Eighth-rank, ninth-rank, even divine-rank! And the condition for obtaining all of this is quite simple... all you need to do is bring yourself to do it!

Ling Quan was shocked, his gaze fixed on the Blood Skull Gu floating in front of him, unable to look away.

To be fair, his most rational choice right now is to inform the clan elders of the whereabouts of the Dragon-Phoenix Child in order to receive a reward.

But to do such a thing in front of a saint is simply wishful thinking! Lingquan looked around at the hazy gray space.

In fact, he had no choice from the very beginning!
The humiliating days after his bloodline was destroyed surged through his mind like a tide, and Lingquan's face contorted with rage. He suddenly looked up at Su Yun.

"What do I have to give in return!"

Su Yun smiled faintly and said, "Smart. With this Gu planted, your life and death will be in my hands."

"I promise you!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Quan's expression turned fierce. He suddenly stretched out his arm and gripped the Blood Skull Gu, which was glowing with a blood-red light, tightly with his five fingers.

The Gu worms wriggled slightly in his palm, and the icy touch spread from his fingertips to his entire body, but he felt nothing at all.

So what if I have to sell my life? So what if I become someone else's puppet?

He didn’t want to live another day like this, being trampled on and bullied by others!
"Very good, you have not disappointed me."

Su Yun chuckled softly, and then his figure vanished silently into the void like smoke.

At the same time, the surrounding gray space suddenly fluctuated violently, cracking into countless lines like a shattered mirror, and the power of space surged wildly, enveloping Lingquan within it.

The next second, a blinding light flashed, and Ling Quan felt a blur before his eyes. When he opened them again, he was standing once more amidst the ruins of the ancient holy city.

Everything was exactly the same as when he left, as if the bizarre encounter just now was nothing more than an absurd dream.

But the blood-skull gu in his palm, still wriggling slightly, reminded him that it was all real.

"Revenge! I want revenge!"

Lingquan gripped the Blood Skull Gu tightly, his eyes filled with madness.

"Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er... and Xiao Jibai, you just wait!"

…………

"One has been planted, but that's far from enough."

Su Yun stared at Ling Quan's ruthless appearance from high above, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"A single chess piece can't stir up much trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yun's figure became ethereal, like a ghost blending into the night. The restrictions that were enough to detect the traces of a Dou Sheng seemed to be useless in front of him.

With each flash, he precisely landed in various remote corners of the ancient holy city, silently approaching those ancient clan disciples who, like Ling Quan, were at the bottom of society and filled with resentment.

"Do you crave power?"

Do you want to experience the true meaning of life?

"Come, embrace the Blood Skull Gu, and you can get everything you want!"

In just a few days, a hundred of the resentful people at the bottom of the ancient holy city accepted the Blood Skull Gu, which symbolized power and destruction.

Su Yun did not choose to stop. With a flash, he traversed endless distances and flew towards the other imperial clans' encampments on the continent.

"Pills? Your name is good. I will grant you an opportunity."

"Yao Liang...you were involved too."

"Agile! Very good, you have the potential to become a Dou Di. I have high hopes for you!"

"Shi Hao?! The hope for the Shi Clan's revival rests entirely on your shoulders!"

"..."

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yun stood on a desolate wilderness, with withered yellow grass under his feet and a howling cold wind all around him.

He raised his hand, and the residual blood energy in his palm dissipated in the wind. The Blood Skull Gu he had carefully crafted earlier had all been distributed to the disciples of the various imperial clans.

Each Gu worm is a bomb about to explode!

Come on! Chase after them, doubt them!

Su Yun burst into laughter, his voice echoing across the empty wilderness, filled with an almost manic excitement. He opened his arms as if embracing the impending chaos.

"Who is the spy, and who can survive this game of mutual suspicion!"

Who will be the ultimate winner?

The wind picked up, whipping up dust that blurred his figure, but it couldn't hide the increasingly frenzied light in his eyes!
Su Yun suddenly raised his hands above his head, his voice rising sharply, as if announcing the start of a grand feast!
"Infernal Affairs, officially begins!"
