69 Blood Refining Art
Blood poured down Tao Jian's two hands as he stabbed them in his comrades bodies.
"What, he killed his own companions?!"
"Is this guy crazy?!"
"Hump…"
Seeing Tao Jian kill Jia Niu and Cui De Shao Zihao and Ding brothers were stunned after all the trio belonged to the same side.
Yet he still killed them, and he did so in a really brutal way.
Long Shin just coldly scoffed at Tao Jian's actions, he knew that he would do this sooner or later, but he thought that Tao Jian will make those two stall him while he will go for Shao Zihao and Ding brothers, that was also one of the reason he said that they wont' be harmed under his watch.
It never occurred to him that Tao Jian will choose to kill his own companions.
'I guess I should've thought of it, he must be really desperate to go to such lengths'
He stood quietly with his hands behind his back and looked at Tao Jian with amusement.
Seeing him like this Tao Jian became even more wary of him, thinking that he would do something in the next second, before he could be done with what he was doing, if the process was disrupted then everything go down the drain.
Long Shin saw through his worries as he said " You don't need to worry. I myself am quite interested in seeing what you'll do, this is your last card isn't it?"
"I'll give you a handicap then. I won't move until your done, how's that?" he said in a playful tone.
"Arrogant little basterd!" Tao Joan cursed, but didn't lose his rationality knowing that he can't waste his time in bickering with him.
'Giving me enough time will be your greatest mistake. I'll make sure to wipe out that arrogance of yours before killing you' he silently muttered under his breath as he continued his thing, but he still remained vigilant of Long Shin.
Shao Zihao and Ding brothers also surprised by his word.
Such arrogance…
Such disdain…
"Brother Shin you're savage!" Ding Meng said out loud, while Shao Zihao and Ding Yun only smiled bitterly 'Why don't you just kill him quickly' that was what the two wanted to say.
…
Having nothing to do Long Shin again checked Tao Jian's status…

Damn who said that the guy is trash, even thought he can't properly cultivate, he clearly comprehended an attack skill and a movement technique, the ironic thing is that the movement technique is same as Cui De and this guy even mastered it to Minor Success.
If Cui De we're to learn about this he would've died again while coaching out old blood.
Ooh, and that ‹GOLD› rank technique is also the cause of this guy searching for other peoples blood essence like a hungry hound searching trash bins for scrapes.
According to Tao Jian's ‹History› the guy got his hands on this technique within the abode of an ancient demonic magister while he was traveling for one of the sect missions.
At first he was really ecstatic thinking that he will be going on a journey of devouring many genius's blood essence only to find that he can only absorb five blood essence at maximum…
Not to mention the horrifying failure rate, he hadn't used it yet only because of the failure rate and also because it was difficult to find a young talented magister, those who are talented would always be guarded by their elders.
The Blood Exploder was also good, even thought the cost of the technique was high.
One can increase their blood essence by eating natural treasures of the heaven and earth or by a rare fortunate encounter, even if it is greatly depleted.
But if someone's blood essence were to be consumed entirely without leaving a spec, then there is no chance of future cultivation, let alone that they might also become cripple unable to absorb mana and having their cultivation wiped out.
Compare to that method using someone's blood essence and flesh as the sacrifice while supplementing it with 98% of their blood, 50% of their lifespan, and 1 layer of their cultivation is already considered pretty good deal, at least better then having your cultivation crippled and not being able to absorb any mana.
After all no matter how difficult there might exist someway to reclaim the lost cultivation and the lifespan can also be increased using heavenly treasures, but if the blood essence is completely consumed then everything is over.
As for the part of being a mortal enemy, umm that's to be expected, it would be a miracle if the guy didn't see Long Shin as his mortal enemy after all that he has done to him.
Let's see…
He forced him to burn 98% of his blood, half of his lifespan, and one layer of his painstakingly cultivation which is even more heart-wrenching the losing all the layers of skin…
After all this even if Tao Jian we're to win which is basically impossible, he would still lose to much.
…Yeah it would truly be a great miracle if he doesn't hate Long Shin.
…
ZEN!
