Yilu Lok stands up from the bed and extends his hand a black crack suddenly appears in front of him. Then Yilu Lok takes a step and enters the black crack.
Inside the black crack the man in red is struggling to set himself free from the brown chains. Although the chains look weak, there is a black energy inside of the crack making it very strong.
Yilu Lok then appears in front of the struggling man, the man flinches and stops struggling.
"It seems you are having a good time."
Yilu Lok smiles and says.The man looks at Yilu Lok with venomous eyes.
"Oh! it seems you can't say anything because you are chained."
Yilu Lok says mocking the man in red. Then he flicks his finger. The chains binding the man shatters like glass.
After getting free the man quickly straps back and distances himself from Yilu Lok.
"You don't have to be that cautious. I just want to ask some questions."
The man looks at Yilu Lok without saying anything.
"But first let me fix your attitude."
Yilu Lok's eyes turn dark blue from his usual brown eyes. In an instant Yilu Lok appears in front of the man as if teleported. He draws his soulblade at the man.
The man being a seasoned warrior quickly reacts and swings his left hand at the sword.
But contrary to the expectations the soulblade of Yilu Lok is so sharp that it cuts through his index and middle fingers.
Blood spurt like fountains from the positions of the index and middle finger of the man and he takes a few steps back.
"Hmm.. What happened to your right wrist? Did Jiu Jin cut it off? Now you lost two more fingers."
"You basterd."
The man fills his left hand with blood qi and charges at Yilu Lok.
Yilu Lok's eyes turn dark blue and the soulblade envelopes in a dark blue energy.
The hand and the soulblade collide. A shockwave erupts and Yilu Lok is sent flying backwards as for the man in red because of his blood qi his hand has a light scratch from which blood is flowing but soon the blood stops.
It takes Yilu Lok dozens of steps before he stabilizes himself. Yilu Lok looks at his hand which is numb from the impact.
The man in red finds something odd and looks at Yilu Lok and again charges at him.
Yilu Lok also takes a step forward and dashes towards the man.
Yilu Lok swings his soulblade and the man swings his left hand.
As the soulblade and the hand collide Yilu lok is again pushed back by the strong force.
"Cough!"
Yilu Lok barely stabilises himself and coughs blood. In their last confrontation Yilu lok has suffered some internal injuries.
"Shi shi shi.
The man looks at Yilu Lok and laughs.
"I was scared for nothing. I don't know how you previously did those tricks but all this ends now."
The man pashes his blood qi in his left hand and it turns into a blood claw.
"Now there is no one to save you."
The man slowly takes steps towards Yilu Lok.
"Spit!"
Yilu Lok spits the blood from his mouth and looks at the man with expressionless eyes.
"Wow you seem quite confident in killing me."
"Shi shi shi shi."
The man laughs and looks at Yilu Lok with an annoyed expression. He doesn't like the look in Yilu Lok's eyes.
"It seems you have been sheltered by your father all your life. You don't even know the difference between an advance-peak master and a first class warrior."
The man disappears from his position and appears in front of Yilu Lok in a flash.
"Let me show you the difference in power, a first class warrior like you should know your place."
Yilu Lok still looks at the man with expressionless eyes which annoys the man more.
'This brat.'
The man grits his teeth in anger and says.
"Do you think you are your father invincible in the whole world? I really don't like this look in your eyes."
The man swings his blood claw towards Yilu Lok's eyes.
"Now despair in the face of death.
"Huuu!"
Yilu Lok exhales in the next instant in Yilu Lok's right hand soulblade begins to shine with dark blue light.
Yilu Lok looks at the coming blood claw and uses his soulblade to block it.
Both soulblade and the blood claw collide. But this time Yilu Lok is not pushed back and the ground beneath them collapses.
The man widens his eyes as he looks at the soul intent on soulblade.
In fright he quickly takes a few steps back and distances himself from Yilh Lok.
"Impossible how can.."
The man looks at the soul intent in terrified eyes but suddenly he finds something wrong with the soul intent. The soul intent in soulblade seems weak, nothing compared to a true sword intent.
"Shi shi shi I almost got fooled by your trick."
Yilu Lok smiles and asks.
"Are you sure this is a trick?"
"Shi shi shi of course there is no way a first class warrior like you can have a sword intent."
"Come then let's see if you can handle my trick."
"You damn brat."
The man charges at Yilu Lok and swings his blood claw. Yilu Lok also swings his soulblade to meet the blood claw.
Shockwaves erupt from the collision but both of them do not stop, they continue to swing soulblade and blood claw at each other.
After the red crack was devoured by the black bracelet the area of the red crack has shrunk significantly. Previously the size of the cave was close to a mile but now it barely has a size of three hundred meters. And the blood pool at the end of the cave occupies one third of the entire area.
Inside the cave terrifying shockwaves had devastated the surrounding area. Sharp sword and claw marks can be seen at the ground and the walls of the cave.
After clashing with Yilu Lok for a minute the man looks at him and says.
"It seems the trick of yours is not bad, it can boost your power from a first class warrior to an early-peak master."
Yilu Lok ignores the man and just looks at his soulblade. The dark blue light on the soulblade of Yilu Lok disappeared. He looks at this and sighs and looks at the man.
"I think it's about time I end this."
"Boom!"
A terrifying amount of red blood qi erupts from the man the ground beneath him shatters and spider web-like cracks start to spread on the ground.
"Just now what did you say brat?"
"Are you deaf or your ears got injured just like your right wrist and the two fingers of your left hand."
The anger of man began to rise.
"Good.. good.. it seems you don't value your life. Just because I was playing with you. You became cocky."
"Yes yes so what? Why waste time talking? Come at me with all with all you have got."
Yilu Lok again pours energy into soulblade but this time instead of dark blue the sword begins to emit black light.
"Another trick huh. Are you confident because of this?"
"Seriously, why are you still talking? Are you going to kill me with your mouth."
The face of the man becomes red from rage.
"Cocky brat I will rip your limbs apart, tear you apart, eat your heart and drink your blood. I will torture you slowly and in such a terrifying way you will beg me to kill you and end your misery."
"I get it now come. Don't waste my time."
Blood art -blood demon armor.
The blood qi around the man began to condense into solid armor.
The armor looks crafted from what appears to be hardened blood. The armor is a deep crimson, almost black in places, with pulsating veins of brighter red running across its surface, giving it the appearance of being alive.
The helmet is shaped like a predatory, fanged skull with horns, and its glowing red eyes emit a faint, malevolent light. Wisps of red, smoky energy curl around the joints and gaps in the armor, hinting at a supernatural origin.
The right wrist that was cut by Jiu Jin and the two fingers that were cut by Yilh Lok are replaced by the blood qi gauntlets. The gauntlets are oversized, ending in clawed fingertips.
The man hardens his fingertips into the form of a dragon claw and charges at Yilu Lok.
This time instead of blocking, Yilu Lok puts strength in his legs and jumps backwards.
The claw hit the ground at the previous location of Yilu Lok and destroyed the ground. There is a few feet deep hole there.
The man retracts his claw and swings it in the direction of Yilu Lok in the air.
Five red lights cut through the air and reach Yilu Lok.
In response Yilu Lok swings his soulblade with full strength and black sword intent cuts through the air and clashes with the red light.
