Chapter Thirty-Four: Huo Yue Emerges from the Clouds

  This surge of fiery power came extremely suddenly, as if it had been hidden in Su Ming's body all along, and was triggered by the dispersal of the Clear Dust. Su Ming's body shook violently, and for an instant, he felt as though his entire being was about to be incinerated, a sensation that reminded him of the burly man from the Black Mountain Tribe who had died in the Blood Slaughter.

  Su Ming did not panic, but was calm and composed, although he felt like he was burning, his calmness allowed him to slowly find the difference. This burning sensation was not his blood boiling, but at this moment, the speed of his entire body's blood circulation had reached an extremely terrifying degree.

  Because of that rapid flow, it would only make him feel the illusion of burning, and he could even hear his own heartbeat accelerating wildly, as if it was about to explode.

  "What a powerful medicinal effect!" Su Ming's face was flushed, but the calmness in his eyes had not decreased in the slightest. As he muttered to himself, he closed his eyes and immediately became immersed in the circulation of his qi and blood.

  A large amount of sweat oozed out on his body, and eleven blood lines appeared simultaneously, emitting a piercing red glow. The red glow illuminated the cave, making it seem as if it had transformed into a bloody yellow spring at this moment.

  As the gas and blood in his body circulated, the red light emitted from his body grew stronger, and even the blue veins on Su Ming's body became visible, as if they were wriggling, making him look slightly ferocious at this moment.

  Time flew by, and it was already an hour. In this hour, Su Ming's beast skin clothes seemed to have been soaked in water, dripping with a lot of sweat. Su Ming's body was even more fiery red, those eleven blood lines flickering, as if they were eleven gaping wounds of flesh and blood.

  Just then, Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot, and let out a loud roar. As he roared, his body began to rumble, and the twelfth Bloodline burst forth!

  Its emergence speed was almost instantaneous, and it transitioned from being vague to fully solidifying, causing Su Ming's Qi and blood energy to increase once again.

  But all this has not ended, after the twelfth bloodline appeared, Su Ming's body's fiery redness had slightly alleviated, but immediately following his second low growl, the thirteenth bloodline burst forth!!

  As soon as the thirteenth bloodline appeared, Su Ming's hair stood on end without any wind, and a powerful feeling suddenly burst out from his frail body.

  His blood was circulating rapidly in his body, and at this moment he no longer had the feeling of insufficient blood, but rather too much of it. If he didn't condense the blood lines, his flesh would collapse like a burst of blood. Two consecutive blood lines appeared, but the scorching heat inside his body still existed to some extent.

  Su Ming's face twisted, feeling like his whole body was burning hot and unbearable. His right hand rose, subconsciously tearing open the beast skin shirt, revealing his bare upper body, clearly showing the thirteen blood lines. They were not regular, scattered on Su Ming's chest, back, and arms.

  The color of the blood vessels was crimson, as if it could drip out fresh blood. There were also large beads of sweat flowing on Su Ming's body, illuminated by the red light, giving off a strange and eerie beauty.

  Su Ming's eyes grew even redder, but inside, he was not crazy, still calm, everything was under his control. Feeling the blood in his body, Su Ming didn't hesitate, following the Xingmeng tradition, circulating his blood repeatedly, tempering it to make it thicker!

  Half a time later, in Su Ming's sky-shaking roar, the fourteenth bloodline faintly appeared on his body!

  Its roar echoed in the cave, stirring up countless echoes. At first, it seemed as if countless people were shouting.

  "The fourteenth bloodline, come out!!" Su Ming's body trembled, that powerful feeling growing stronger in his body, yet he saw the fourteenth bloodline rapidly solidifying, looking like it wouldn't take too long to fully appear.

  But as time passed by for a moment, the fourteenth bloodline was still struggling, as if it had always lacked that one force to completely condense it.

  Su Ming had already felt the slow circulation of his blood and Qi, and the heat in his body was almost completely gone. If this ended now, the fourteenth Blood Line would not have condensed, and he would have to wait for next time.

  Su Ming's eyes flashed and he raised his right hand without hesitation, grabbing towards the side, where there was still a grain of Mountain Spirit Powder!

  Seizing the medicine, Su Ming immediately put it in his mouth, his teeth fiercely grinding, crushing the medicine into pieces before swallowing it. Afterwards, he took out a grain of Qing Chen San and swallowed it whole. After doing so, his body violently trembled, the fiery red color on his skin dispersing once more, instantly reaching an astonishing degree.

  The scorching feeling inside him grew even more frantic, the intensity of which had exceeded what it was before, reaching a level that made Su Ming feel like he could hardly bear it.

  "Fourteenth Bloodline, come out!!" Su Ming had a fierce aura deep within his bones, something that even he himself hadn't discovered, but it had been accumulating for a very, very long time from the little details in his life.

  As his low growl sounded, the rumbling within him began again. The 14th bloodline suddenly solidified and emitted a strange red glow. After the emergence of this 14th bloodline, Su Ming did not choose to end it. He continuously swallowed two pills of Mountain Spirit Powder, all in order to make his cultivation rise with one vigorous effort.

  In these seven days of indulgence, he often thought that the premature appearance of the moon wing, the anxiety hidden under the smile of the old man in the tribe, Su Ming had seen it all. Although he didn't say it out loud, he vaguely understood that a dark cloud was looming over the tribe.

  Thinking of the breakthrough in Hei Shan's cultivation, thinking of what Ah Gong had said about the traitor in the tribe and the unsafe words, Su Ming was very worried. He wanted to help Ah Gong, he wanted to help the tribe, but with his current cultivation, it was clearly not enough.

  He wants to become stronger and make himself a strong person!

  After the fourteenth bloodline emerged, Su Ming manipulated the internal Qi and blood again, causing the fifteenth bloodline to seem like it was about to be forced out amidst the frantic circulation of blood.

  After a long time, Su Ming's body trembled, bringing a wave of pain, but he didn't hesitate. In the flow of blood within his body, he let out a loud roar and the 15th Bloodline burst forth!!

  Fifteen bloodlines, like fifteen scars on his bare upper body, emitted a red glow at the same time, making Su Ming look even more powerful.

  But with just fifteen bloodlines, Su Ming was still unsatisfied, and under his constant manipulation, time flew by.

  The sixteenth bloodline suddenly condensed out!!

  Up to this point, the intense heat all over his body had dissipated, as if everything was about to end. But Su Ming's eyes flashed, and at the same time that a cold intent appeared, his silent right hand rose, and with a loud slap on his chest, a massive force surged into his body, stimulating his rapidly beating heart.

  "Article 17, appear before me!"

  His heart, under the stimulation of this force, suddenly burst out more blood, flowing rapidly throughout his body, and at his heart's mouth, the seventeenth bloodline appeared!

  After the seventeenth bloodline appeared, Su Ming's body was like a flame that had been extinguished, and there was no longer any warmth. His body was even more so, and the boundless feeling disappeared in an instant. His entire body felt empty, and he knew that this was the result of the medicine wearing off.

  At the same time, a faint stinging sensation emerged from his body, indicating that his body had suffered some injuries due to the intense training earlier.

  "A little pain and injury, it's nothing!" Su Ming muttered to himself, feeling the power inside his body increase by more than half compared to before, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

  He didn't get up, but instead took out a herb from the torn animal skin shirt beside him. The herb was none other than Tianyancao!!

  This is the strongest herb he has obtained, aside from medicine stones! Except for giving some to Lei Chen, he doesn't easily use it, but at this moment, he decisively takes it out. He wants to make a concerted effort to raise his cultivation to its maximum potential.

  Taking this grass, Su Ming left one leaf for future use and swallowed the rest. He also took Qing Chen San to increase its efficacy.

  A refreshing feeling suddenly burst forth in his body, merging with the remaining fiery heat in an instant. On Su Ming's body, threads of cold air faintly appeared, making the seventeen red blood lines even more striking.

  Under the cold air, Su Ming's body was faintly turning green, but the blood in his body was flowing rapidly again. One hour, two hours, when the sky outside turned white, and Xiao Hong returned from playing, Su Ming was still sitting cross-legged there, motionless.

  Xiao Hong knew Su Ming was meditating, so she lay down beside him and glanced at him a few times before dozing off.

  The sky gradually changes from dawn to noon, and then slowly darkens into dusk. Before long, it is pitch black again, except for the bright moonlight, which shines down on the falling snowflakes that blanket the earth.

  Su Ming's body now had nineteen blood lines, not seventeen!!

  Those two extra ones existed on his arms, flickering with red sparks...

  In the dead of night, Su Ming's entire body emitted a crimson glow that enveloped the entire cave. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of murky air. His eyes gleamed with an intense light as he gazed at Little Red, who was sleeping soundly with a faint snore, occasionally scratching her hair, and a smile played on the corner of her mouth.

  He withdrew his gaze from Xiaohong, and subconsciously looked up at the small holes on the rock wall. From his position, he could see the outside sky and moon through these holes. With a glance, Su Ming slowly closed his eyes, preparing to circulate the Qi and blood in his body, calming the injuries caused by this period of cultivation.

  But just as he closed his eyes, Su Ming suddenly opened them again, and he faintly felt that the bright moon he had seen through those small holes was somewhat different.

  At this moment, looking again, his eyes suddenly widened!

  The moon in the sky had a hint of red...
