Chapter 130: Blood Demon

"..." I’m lying on the ground, my whole body hurts from the flames, I lost, I didn’t have a chance to beat her, she was much stronger than me, so now I’m lying in a puddle of mud and blood.

If it weren’t for the burns, I’d be dead, but because I’m burned, there’s not much bleeding in my body, even so, it hurts a lot, I tilt my head up to see my body.

Half of it was carbonized, and a huge hole was opened in my abdomen, I also completely lost my right arm, and the other side of my body isn’t in much better shape.

Also with severe burn damage, who would have thought this would be my end, the Great Master of the Orthodox Yesheon Sect lost to the celestial demon.

I bet there’s nothing left of my sect, I’ve lost everything, or rather I’ve lost almost everything, I’m pretty sure Shizune is still alive, she’s all that’s left of the destruction that happened.

Other than her, I have nothing else, my sect, my disciples and the elders, everything evaporated in a sea of black flames, leaving not even ashes.

"I-It hurts...I-I don’t want to die..." I murmur in an erratic tone as blood flows from my eyes because the flames have burned my tear ducts, so all that flows is blood and even crying hurts.

These meager words I uttered broke my vocal cords, preventing me from saying anything else.

Why did it all end like this? Damn cowardly celestial demon, if I didn’t have to take care of the sect, I could have fought without many limitations, and even then I would have lost.

She deliberately entered without breaking the sect’s barrier, knowing that if I fought there, I would be much more limited, since if she had just broken the formation from the outside, I could have sent her away from the sect with my power.

She took advantage of this weak point to do this, and I could barely react or do anything.

I can only look up at the cloudy sky as a few raindrops start to fall, I don’t even know where I was thrown, I always thought I would die before ascending to any higher plane.

But I never imagined that dying would be like this, my body is cold, very cold while everything hurts, I can barely move now, all that keeps me alive is my willpower and my Qi that still burns in hope of keeping me alive.

However, even my Qi was almost completely burned by her flames, this is truly an injustice, why did she never show this strength before? And why did she only decide to use it now?

Footsteps, I hear footsteps coming towards where I am, I deduce it’s an animal, but I notice it has "Qi" and is relatively tall, so it must be a person, but I can’t ask for help, the damage is too great.

"..." I look at what is approaching, recognizing what is in front of me, how could I forget these things? I can’t believe I had so much bad luck to fall near this.

"..." A blood demon, it has the appearance of a girl, but its red eyes and completely reddened Qi make it obvious that it is a blood demon, I thought they were extinct.

I thought I had dealt with all the remnants, what bad luck I’m having today, first I lose to the celestial demon, and now I’m thrown right next to one of those blood-suckers.

"Well, well, let’s see what we have here, a cultivator, my, you smell like charcoal" The blood demon mocks me as I close my eyes, accepting that this is the end for me.

"Hey, hey, are you just going to give up? Tsk, cultivators are so silly, come on, if you weren’t just a piece of charcoal, I’d even like to try your blood, it’s a shame" The blood demon speaks, squatting next to me.

"I remember those flames, yes, they are terrible, that damn celestial demon is still too strong, just like that damned silver aura of the leader of the Orthodox Sect"

From the demon’s speech, I realize that it didn’t notice who I am, I think my face is too disfigured by the flames, and my Qi was too destroyed to be able to identify who I am.

"But hey, piece of charcoal, want to become a blood demon? You can be healed of these wounds, just a little blood for that" The blood demon makes the offer, the same offer they always make to most cultivators.

I no longer have the strength to speak and refuse the proposal, but then I think of Shizune, the chance to defeat the celestial demon and thus save Shizune from his clutches.

If I accept, I can save Shizune and defeat the celestial demon, if I have the regenerative ability of the blood demons, even the flames of the celestial demon could not deal with me.

I am a fair person, I am sure that if I become a blood demon, I will not succumb to the temptation and thirst for blood that they have, I can very well control this with discipline.

Power is all I need, power to regain what I lost and restore my honor that was destroyed in this fight, power to humiliate the celestial demon as he humiliated me.

Power to rescue Shizune from the malevolent clutches of the celestial demon who claims to love her, but I’m sure he only sees her as a convenient object, she took everything from me for Shizune.

But he didn’t take Shizune from me, and that’s enough, if I have one thing left, then I have a basis to start over, that’s it, I just need to get Shizune back.

With her I can start over, a new life, a new sect, new disciples and new powers, I just need her for this new beginning.

I accept the blood demon’s proposal that is waiting, I can’t say anything, my vocal cords are too damaged now, and if I try to speak, only blood comes out.

So I nod affirmatively, hoping he understands that I accept, I want this new chance granted by the heavens, the heavens are blessing me for being fair by giving me a new chance to purify the evil by killing the celestial demon.

"So you want to? What good news, you seem like a pretty strong cultivator, what luck for me, the guys will love you, we’re without a leader so there might be fights for the hierarchy, but don’t worry too much about it" The blood demon injures his hand with his nails and drips blood into my mouth.

"Swallow it all" He says as he squeezes his hand harder to drip more blood into my mouth, I struggle to swallow as I notice my veins glowing red.

If I don’t purify them with Qi, I’ll become a blood demon, it’s the only chance I have to die as a common person, but I don’t care about that, not after the heavens made me fall right into a place with a blood demon.

There is no other answer to this, is it not too much of a coincidence to fall into a place where my salvation could be found? It’s a sign that I should do two things, regain the only thing I have left and kill the cause of my dishonor.

My body has small convulsions, my muscles contracting as I feel my Qi being infected by the blood of the blood demon.

"Wow! With the delay, you must be really strong, what a great find I’ve made, please survive and I’ll gain a lot of credit for this" The blood demon speaks greedily as he gives me more of his blood.

My body still undergoing the changes, I feel how my Qi changes completely, my Yang affinity being replaced by a strange red energy that now circulates through my meridians as if it were Qi.

I feel much less pain as this energy spreads, and the damage to my soul caused by the flames begins to be restored, it seems that first my soul will heal and then the body.

My injuries are severe, so this will probably take a few days to be completely healed, but by then I’ll be strong enough to regain what is mine.

The only thing that bothers me is how I feel that as this energy revitalizes my body, my thirst for blood increases, I’m very thirsty, my throat seems to close with thirst.

And breathing is difficult, my eyes start to bleed even more as they become redder while my field of vision also starts to turn slightly reddish.

"U-Huh? What a strange thing...Hey, are you okay?" The blood demon speaks without understanding what is happening to me, I know that the stronger the effects, the more severe the side effects, but this is worse than I expected.

With my remaining arm, even burned, I attack the blood demon crouching next to me, piercing his heart with my hand in search of blood to quench my thirst.

"W-What are you doing, you b-bitch" The demon says, trying to remove my hand that begins to drain his body until it dries up and turns to dust, now I understand, the blood demons were not just after the blood of their victims.

They also sought the Qi in their bodies that could be drained with the blood, their bodies are practically composed of this energy that now begins to make up my body, since I have absorbed a lot of the blood demon.

My arm begins to grow and my disfigured appearance crumbles like a shell, I can see, hear and breathe much better now, while the only remaining problems are a hole in my abdomen and a missing leg that I hadn’t even noticed I had lost.

’I need more...’ The thirst speaks louder than consciousness, I didn’t expect this, it’s worse than I thought, my body trembles with need, I need blood, much, much more blood.

An enormous need for more blood hits me as I decide to go in search of blood until I can go after Shizune, if only one of us two can love Shizune, then it will be me who will continue to live loving her after killing the celestial demon.
