Chapter 22: The Secret of the Flesh
"Holy, what kind of monster is this?"
A charred black mass slowly fell, revealing the white skin that had been wrapped inside, and Charles stood naked, not showing that he had only been struck by the terrifying lightning, which had barely left a trace on his body except for the vanished clothes.
A smell of rotten flesh spread around, but Dongfang Yu didn't make any moves, just stared at Charles blankly.
"There's no way you can get me hurt, so I advise you to accept your fate. Out of nowhere, Charles took out a black robe and put it over himself, completely covering his miserable white body.
It can be seen from Dongfang Yu's expression that he seems to be a little desperate at this time, his eyes are staring at Charles sluggishly, and the flicker of thunder behind him has also become dim.
Standing on the scorched earth, Charles suddenly opened his hands, and a large amount of blood began to gather in front of him, and soon converged into the shape of outstretched wings.
"Tides of Blood!"
The blood qi gathered in front of him surged towards Dongfang Yu, like a turbulent river, and the blood-colored waves came down from top to bottom, carrying the tiger down the mountain.
Dongfang Yu's body disappeared in the blood in an instant, and the surging blood qi was like a large piece of red satin dancing in the air after completely burying Dongfang Yu's body.
"The Stranger of the East, nothing more than that. Charles sneered, and his eyes suddenly turned to Gu Xiaobai in the distance.
"Young man, I will ask you about the time. β
"What?" Gu Xiaobai, who was squatting in the charred black residue, stretched his neck, not understanding what Charles meant.
"Help me see the time now. Charles's tone was polite.
Gu Xiaobai took out his mobile phone and told him the current time.
"Hmm, it will take some time, since there is nothing to do, then you can chat with me?" Charles walked slowly towards Gu Xiaobai, his bare feet stepping on the black residue on the ground and making a "shuttle" sound.
Gu Xiaobai subconsciously pinched the Ling Feng blade in his hand, staring at the man who was walking towards him step by step.
Charles was also surrounded by a layer of blood qi that surrounded him like silk, and even the viscous blood flowing slowly on it could be seen.
"Are you also from the Dongfang family?" said Charles standing a few meters in front of Gu Xiaobai, looking at him with a smile.
Gu Xiaobai didn't speak, he was observing the blood qi around Charles, and at the same time, he could smell a strong smell of blood.
"Do you know Dongfang Yu?" asked Charles continued.
Gu Xiaobai saw in a trance that blood was constantly oozing from Charles's pale skin, slowly flowing out of every pore, and then gathering in more blood and qi around him.
"It's really boring, I thought this mission was a good opportunity to practice Chinese, but the Chinese I met didn't like to talk. Charles waved his hand with a regretful expression.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaobai, who was standing in place, disappeared, the ashes around him were dispersed by the powerful air current, Gu Xiaobai's body rushed out with the charred ashes, his target was not Charles, but Dongfang Yu, who was already surrounded by blood and qi in the distance.
"What, are you his enemy?" Charles looked at Gu Xiaobai's back and said, "That's really fate, I didn't want to kill him, since you have helped me, then give you this opportunity." β
Gu Xiaobai stood still in front of the mass of blood qi, ignoring Charles's words, but picked up the Ling Feng blade and danced continuously, the strong air flow matched the sharp blade, and the bright red blood qi in front of him was quickly cut into pieces.
Dongfang Yu's expression inside was dull, and the thunder and lightning floating on the surface of his body kept flashing to protect his body, but he didn't use these thunderbolts to break through the encirclement, because he had tried the same thing many times, but this vampire named Charles seemed to be immortal, and no matter how powerful the attack was, it couldn't kill him.
"You are ......" Dongfang Yu looked at Gu Xiaobai with a dull expression.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I know how to kill him, but I need your strength. Gu Xiaobai deliberately lowered his voice very low to avoid being heard by Charles.
"Oh, my friend, why don't you do it? Beware of him tormenting you with thunder and lightning. A reminder from Charles came from afar.
"You...... Can you kill him?"
"No, it's you, I just know how to kill him, but I still need you to do it. β
"No way, I've tried everything, he's a monster you can't kill. Dongfang Yu kept shaking his head.
"Don't forget, your two sons are still waiting for you to save them. Gu Xiaobai pressed his shoulder with his hand, and at the same time he could feel the thunder and lightning around him, and a strong feeling of paralysis came from his arm.
Dongfang Yu's eyes finally had some sparkle.
"If you want to kill him, listen carefully to what I'm going to say next......"
"Hey, if you can't do it, let me do it, killing him won't affect the progress of the mission anyway. Charles walked lightly towards the two of them.
"What are you talking about, boy?"
"Get ready, look me in the eye. Gu Xiaobai turned his back to Charles and whispered to Dongfang Yu.
Just as Charles was about to approach the two of them, Gu Xiaobai suddenly turned around on the spot, and the Ling Feng blade swept through the air, and the air flow was like a sharp blade cutting directly at Charles.
Of course, Charles had already prepared, and the surging blood qi smoothly took over the knife qi, and a large area of bright red blood qi turned black, and then gradually solidified.
When Charles looked at the two of them again, the front had turned into an open space, where could he still see the figures of the two, he frowned and looked around, there was only a large area of scorched black earth in his eyes, and there was no half figure in sight.
Suddenly, there was a slight flow of air in front of him, and out of instinct, Charles dodged to the right, and a transparent air bullet flew over his left shoulder, although he avoided the fatal position, but the bullet grazed his shoulder and left a bloody mark.
"It's ...... Isn't he already dead?" Charles looked at the wound on his shoulder in disbelief, it was a mark from a bullet that showed that it had solidified due to the high-speed friction, and could even smell roasted meat.
Suddenly, another stream of bullets flew, and Charles didn't have time to think, so he dodged to the side, this time the bullet grazed his ear, and the sound of the air exploded in his ear, causing him to lose his hearing for a short time.
"Yes, that's his move, but it's much slower, and if it was him, he'd already died a hundred times. β
Suddenly, a blue thunderbolt struck, and a blue lightning as thick as a bowl shot straight into his chest, and the sound of "Zizi" was heard very clearly.
"It's useless!" Charles spread his hands, and a large amount of blood and qi surged in, covering his body before the lightning struck him.
"Hiss ......" was like the sound of fire meeting water, and the blood vapor continued to evaporate under the high temperature, becoming dry and dry, and then lost its original bright red color, but at the same time resisted the blow.
"Bang!" Charles couldn't see what was happening outside in the envelopment of blood, but he clearly heard the familiar sound of airbursting, and at the same time, a finger-thick hole appeared in the black blood-gas shell.
The air bullet completely lost its power after passing through the shell, leaving only a deep mark on Charles's body.
"Haha, your cooperation doesn't make sense. β
In the darkness, the blue flash lit up again, and although it was only a small dot, it frightened Charles.
"Not good!"
A flash of blue ran through the small hole, like a blue silk thread, and landed on Charles's chest.
In the black blood shell, thunder and lightning were continuously injected, and at first Charles could be heard screaming in pain, but soon there was no sound, Dongfang Yu continued to input thunder and lightning into it regardless of it, the thunder and lightning symbol on his back had turned white, and his hair had turned silver-white due to excessive shock, and the roots were erect, and the thunder and lightning in the black clouds in the sky kept falling on Dongfang Yu's body.
Gu Xiaobai had already avoided it from a distance, and the range of Dongfang Yu's thunder and lightning was dozens of meters away, and he didn't want to be electrocuted. At the same time, he was also shocked by the strength of the A-class ability, the scene in front of him was like a thunderbolt destroying the world, the dazzling light turned everything white, and the sound that could almost destroy the hearing of ordinary people continued to explode in his ears.
Finally, as the thunder and lightning mark behind Dongfang Yu became dim, the heavenly thunder stopped, and the power of the thunder and lightning injected into the blood shell also weakened, and everything around him gradually returned to calm.
A large amount of white smoke was rising, and the strong smell of barbecue meat filled the air, Dongfang Yu's thick arm grabbed the blood shell and tore it to pieces with a force.
The scorched black inside is Charles, unlike the last time, his body has completely turned black, still emitting white smoke, and there is no other layer of blood shell in the blood shell, everything is the same as Gu Xiaobai said, Charles's blood qi is secreted from the pores, but as long as the thunder and lightning are injected before the blood qi is completely separated from the body, that can make the blood qi all over his body conductive, and the reason why the previous attack failed was because Charles had already disconnected the blood qi from himself in advance and turned it into a completely closed shell, as long as it was connected to the ground, it could effortlessly guide the power of thunder and lightning away, which was also the basis for Gu Xiaobai's planγ
"It seems that I am right, there is nothing difficult about his blood at all, just a little secret that we don't know, as long as we crack this secret, it is like magic, it is unremarkable. Gu Xiaobai walked up to Charles' corpse.
"Haha, I lost the will to fight just now, I didn't expect you to be able to crack his secret so easily, you young man is very interesting, by the way, look at your moves, do you know an old gentleman?" Dongfang Yu retreated the thunder and lightning on his body, and the thunder and lightning marks on his back disappeared completely.
"For now, let's hurry up and save your son, they probably won't think of it. Gu Xiaobai reminded.
"Yes, yes, I will thank you for the opportunity in the future. Dongfang Yu turned around and prepared to leave.
"Click!" the familiar voice froze both of them in place, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and their bodies fell into the ice cellar in an instant.
