Chapter 247: Change in the Tree Shadow (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was to prevent any bad side effects from appearing. Under his careful observation, he realized that although the tree shadow had changed a lot after absorbing the Mysterious Blood, there were no bad side effects. The changes that had occurred now were all strengthening.

“Perhaps… we can continue!” Xiao Shi realized that this Mysterious Blood seemed to be very suitable for the growth of tree shadows. After pondering for a moment, he poured out the Mysterious Blood from the bottle again and let it absorb it. He wanted to see how much the tree shadow could grow after absorbing more Mysterious Blood.

When Xiao Shi gave most of the bottle of Mysterious Blood to the tree shadow to absorb, the tree shadow grew into a tree that was more than ten meters tall. The branches that grew from this tree were far more than ten meters long. A sinister aura constantly emitted from the tree shadow.

If the previous tree shadow was only at the Qi Martial realm, then after absorbing this Mysterious Blood, the current tree shadow had already reached the Blood Martial realm. Not only was it stronger, Xiao Shi also sensed a powerful ability that the tree shadow did not have in the past.

“Let’s try!”

With a thought from Xiao Shi, a tree branch shot out like lightning. As it flew, it arrived at the corpse not far away. This was one of the Blood Martial Realm servants killed by Xiao Shi earlier. When the branch reached the corpse, it pierced into the back of the corpse’s neck. It caused the corpse that had fallen to the ground to float up from the ground.

The corpse’s limbs were limp, his head was also lowered. However, the parts of the corpse that had been destroyed by Xiao Shi were recovering at a visible speed. New flesh and blood grew. It was restored to its original state.

The corpse’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. In his pale pupils, there were many tree roots that spread out and covered his entire pupil. The drooping head slowly raised and looked at Xiao Shi. His limbs seemed to have recovered their strength. It was no longer powerless. Instead, he knelt down and worshiped Xiao Shi in an unfamiliar and stiff manner.

Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the tree shadow now had the ability to control corpses! At this moment, this corpse was completely controlled by the tree shadow.

“In that case, what kind of strength will this corpse have?” Under the doubts in his heart, Xiao Shi immediately gave an order to the tree shadow. He let the tree shadow control this corpse to attack him. He wanted to personally feel the strength of this corpse.

Buzz!

Instantly, a fierce light flashed in the corpse’s eyes. In a flash, he rushed towards Xiao Shi at an astonishing speed. The moment he arrived in front of Xiao Shi, he raised his right hand high, and his five fingers turned into claws as he grabbed at Xiao Shi fiercely.

Swoosh!

A series of explosions sounded.

Xiao Shi hurriedly raised his hand to block. It felt as if it had collided with an incomparably hard metal weapon. Now, the limbs of this corpse had become incomparably firm. The power transmitted by the corpse’s claw was even more shocking.

Under the collision, Xiao Shi was actually blasted back.

“This is…” Xiao Shi was shocked. The power that erupted from this corpse was shockingly comparable to the physical strength of the Blood Martial Realm. Usually, if one had to increase his physical strength to this extent, they had to do it through a Body Tempering cultivation technique.

Because the current Xiao Shi did not have a Blood Martial Realm Body Tempering cultivation technique, he had stopped at the Invincible Vajra in terms of physical strength.

Although his combat strength when he used the Invincible Vajra Body was enough to match ordinary Blood Martial Realm experts, he could only match the weakest Blood Martial Realm expert.

Once he encountered a stronger Blood Martial Realm, it would be a little insufficient. And now, the corpse controlled by the tree shadow possessed a powerful physical strength that was close to the second blood of the Blood Martial Realm.

This shocked Xiao Shi.

After that, he tried the sturdiness of the corpse again. When he used the Blood Tattoo Finger and struck the corpse with a finger, it could only barely punch a hole in the corpse’s chest and not pierce through its body, even with the power of the current Blood Tattooed Finger.

Moreover, the entire corpse actually had a self-healing function. The hole healed at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, it had recovered completely.

“Not only does it have the strength close to the second-blood martial realm, but its body is also extremely strong. It also has a self- recovery function. And since it’s a corpse, there won’t be a fatal weakness. Even if his head is blown off, he can still continue fighting!”

Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He deeply felt the strength of this corpse. Even he felt a strong palpitation when facing such a corpse that gave him a headache. However, he also knew the true weakness of this corpse. It was mainly the branch that pierced the back of its neck.

After all, the “revival” of this corpse and its power came from the tree branch at the back of its neck.

However, this branch was usually completely hidden. Apart from Xiao Shi, ordinary people often could not see or touch it. Therefore, it was clearly not easy to destroy this branch in a battle.

Xiao Shi was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only could the tree shadow control a corpse, it could control multiple corpses. However, the corpses controlled by the tree shadow could not maintain this amount of strength of each corpse.

If it controlled more corpses, the strength of each corpse would decrease. Once it could control many corpses and maintain its strength, then Xiao Shi could create a powerful Blood Martial Realm zombie army in minutes.

Fortunately, the tree shadow had the potential to grow. As it continued to grow, the strength of the corpses controlled by the tree shadows would also continue to increase.

All in all, the increase brought by the Mysterious Blood to the entire tree shadow was huge. It allowed Xiao Shi to have another powerful method.

Other than that, when Xiao Shi retracted all the blood seals on the five Blood Martial Realm servants, the enhancement brought by the blood seals immediately increased his Intrinsic Martial Blood greatly.

The Intrinsic Martial Blood had doubled in size. Its blood qi was rich. The blood force was extremely thick as well. Xiao Shi sensed it carefully. After absorbing these blood seals, his intrinsic martial blood was about to approach the peak of the first blood realm.

After refining the remaining Intrinsic Martial Bloods, his intrinsic martial blood could reach a new stage. This made Xiao Shi look forward to it.

At the same time, his gains were not limited to this.

The items on the Blood Martial Realm martial artists he had killed in Zhongjiu City last time had all been taken away by Wu Muzhen, so after Xiao Shi killed them, he did not obtain any treasures from them.

Now, the storage bags on the five Blood Martial Realm servants were intact.

After Xiao Shi killed them, he successfully obtained their storage bags. And he had obtained something from it.

After organizing his gains this time, he returned to Bixin City. Although everyone in the Red Tiger Sect was safe now, they were facing another problem. And that was their settlement arrangements.

A portion of the Bixin City had been destroyed from the battle between the Martial Soul Realm experts earlier on. And due to the expert from the demonic faction that occupied Bixin City, it was difficult to stay there anymore. It could be said that this city is crippled.

In that case, the placement for the Red Tiger Sect would be a problem.

When Xiao Shi returned to Bixin City, he saw the lost and confused members of the Red Tiger Sect. They were at a loss at the moment.

Xiao Shi thought for a moment. This might be a chance for the Red Tiger Sect to break away from the Swift Shadow Palace. Although Cen Qingci and the others are in the Swift Shadow Palace, Xiao Shi could ensure their safety as long as they are in Tree Shadow City. Even those experts of the Swift Shadow Palace could not touch them..
