Chapter 279 : Blood Sacrifice
"Unfortunately, I've never been one to work for others. Otherwise... why don't you become my subordinate? Do some good deeds for me, and if I'm in a good mood, I might consider your suggestion." Chu Sang also said with a smile.
The person's false smile slightly froze, his expression sinking a bit. If she refused a toast only to drink a forfeit, then he wouldn't be polite anymore.
Chu Sang was a stubborn one; ordinary rhetoric couldn't tempt her. He was unwilling to use divine power, as it would damage this perfect vessel he had finally found. But no matter, subduing her was of utmost importance.
Eight arrows of flowing light appeared in his palm. These arrows could directly penetrate one's soul, completely annihilating it.
A soul too wild and unruly was of no help to the plan, and even a great hindrance and hidden danger.
They only needed this body as a vessel for divine power. A soul that was difficult to control could simply be eliminated.
No matter how arrogant Chu Sang usually was, she was ultimately just a lower realm cultivator, unable to resist divine power. The human god before her had even stronger divine power than the one she had encountered before. His calm and gentle words carried a sense of arrogance and disdain from a high position. This person's status in the divine realm must be quite high, possibly even the leader of these human gods.
She quickly drew her bow and shot, piercing one divine power arrow. But the remaining arrows stuck to her like maggots, impossible to shake off. Unable to dodge in time, an arrow struck her chest. "Bang!" She fell hard to the ground from mid-air, her face pale. The extreme pain tore through her soul, far more intense and profound than any physical wound!
The remaining six arrows followed closely. The golden bell only lasted a few seconds longer before breaking. In desperation, she threw out the Demon-Locking Pagoda, enlarging it to block.
The Demon-Locking Pagoda was a damaged divine artifact. Chu Sang knew full well it couldn't hold out for long. Under the continuous attacks of divine power, the pagoda's light gradually dimmed. She supported herself with one hand on the ground, head hanging low. After swallowing the sweetness in her throat several times, it welled up again. She "coughed coughed" and spat out a mouthful of blood. A few drops accidentally splashed on the pagoda, which suddenly reignited with a faint light.
"Holy crap, Chu Sang, your blood seems to be able to help repair the pagoda!" The little pagoda spirit suddenly ran out excitedly, its words showing no regard for its master's life or death. "Quick, quick, blood! Spit out more blood. Maybe I can repair completely at once and save your dog life!"
"Huh?"
She was full of question marks, its words causing another mouthful of old blood to choke in her throat. She feared she might die from blood loss before being tortured to death by this human god.
"...Think of something quickly, don't just make unhelpful remarks. We have a contract between us. If I die, you won't survive either."
"I'm telling the truth, not joking! Your blood really can help me repair the pagoda!"
"...Really?"
"At a time like this, what use would it be for me to lie to you? Do you think I'm some evil artifact that likes to suck other people's blood? Your blood contains a very special power, comparable to the most top-tier heavenly treasures... If you could spit out more blood now, there's a real possibility of completely repairing my pagoda body!"
Chu Sang inwardly exclaimed, damn, why didn't you say so earlier? She had spat out so much blood before, wasn't that all wasted then??
But speaking of which, did her body really have some special qualities? Not only did that human god say so, but even the pagoda spirit said the same. The pagoda spirit definitely wouldn't lie to her......
