The Blood God Dharma Form, upon condensing, instantly thrust out a blood-colored giant hand, fiercely capturing the Blood Refining Talisman in its grasp.
Unable to advance even an inch.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shentong’s expression drastically changed, as if he had caught Lin Yi by the scruff of his neck, and excitedly said, "Now can you still say you’re not a spy from the Undying Blood Clan?"
However, Lin Yi ignored Gu Shentong completely and suddenly bellowed, "Blood energy Condensed Sword!"
The overwhelming blood energy, visible to the naked eye, gathered at a rapid pace, forming a blood-colored giant sword.
Lin Yi, without any hesitation, released a terrifying streak of blood-colored Sword Qi!
The Sword Qi, like a rainbow, instantly tore through everything, fiercely striking Gu Shentong’s body.
With a scream, Gu Shentong was sent flying, his eyes filled with absolute terror!
He had never expected that Lin Yi could still unleash such a powerful Sword Qi!
Instantly severely wounded!
At the same time, a cold gleam flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes as he waved his hand, releasing the blood-colored giant hand and suddenly flinging the Blood Refining Talisman towards Gu Shentong!
The talisman transformed into a streak of blood light in mid-air, directly entering Gu Shentong’s body.
Gu Shentong’s entire body had already fallen into a pool of blood, his energy feeble. Lin Yi merely glanced at him from afar then smirked coldly, planning to leave the place.
But just as Lin Yi was about to turn around, he suddenly heard the agonizing screams of Gu Shentong from behind, as if he was enduring the torment of a thousand cuts.
Lin Yi frowned, his gaze falling onto Gu Shentong’s body, his pupils suddenly dilating.
In his line of sight, Gu Shentong’s body was undergoing astonishing transformations, as if poisoned, turning into a blood-soaked figure.
Seeing Gu Shentong in such a state, Lin Yi’s expression also darkened slightly. It seemed uncertain whether the Blood Refining Talisman in Gu Shentong’s hand could expose members of the Undying Blood Clan, but its lethal power was indeed extraordinary!
If that talisman had entered his body just now, perhaps he would be the one looking , not Gu Shentong!
"Caught in one’s own trap."
Yet there was not a trace of sympathy in Lin Yi’s eyes; Gu Shentong had brought this upon himself.
However, Gu Shentong’s body did not stop transforming. The bones in his body started to move and slowly, a pair of Blood Wings grew out, transforming him into the likeness of the Undying Blood Clan.
"Is this Gu Shentong actually from the Undying Blood Clan?"
Incredulity filled Lin Yi’s eyes. Gu Shentong, who had been shouting about exposing him as a member of the Undying Blood Clan, turned out to be one himself?
Lin Yi couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.
"No, that’s not right."
Lin Yi suddenly felt something was off. "If this guy were from the Undying Blood Clan, he would definitely keep a low profile. How could he so comically attempt to expose my identity?"
Besides, after so many encounters with the Undying Blood Clan, he was very familiar with their aura. He had clearly not sensed any such aura coming from Gu Shentong.
Gu Shentong likely was not a member of the Undying Blood Clan.
What about that Blood Refining Talisman then?
It could actually kill a strong member of the Human Clan and turn him into the appearance of the Undying Blood Clan?
How could such a method be possible?
Thinking this, fear surged in Lin Yi’s heart. If the Blood Refining Talisman had entered his body just now, then he would now be in the same predicament as Gu Shentong, completely confirming his identity as a member of the Undying Blood Clan. He would be utterly unable to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
"Who exactly gave Gu Shentong that Blood Refining Talisman to harm me?"
Lin Yi’s face grew dark. "Could it be Wan Huayu?"
The person who had asked him out was Wan Huayu, but the one who had appeared at the Seven-colored Bridge was Gu Shentong.
Wan Huayu was highly suspicious.
"I’ve only met her once; why would she scheme to harm me?"
Lin Yi was completely puzzled.
Just then, a sudden commotion arose in the distance. Lin Yi looked toward the sound, only to see a large group of Inner Sect Saints arriving at the Seven-colored Bridge, converging towards this place.
"Uh? Xu Qing? How come you are here?"
Leading the Inner Sect Saints were none other than Shangguan Tiance and Dugu Sheng.
Lin Yi said, "I was about to ask you guys the same thing. What brings you here in the dead of night?"
"It was Brother Gu Shentong who called us here."
Shangguan Tiance said, "He mentioned that tonight, within the Holy Land, he would uncover a spy from the Undying Blood Clan."
"Xu Qing, why are you here exactly at this moment? Could it be that you are the spy from the Undying Blood Clan that Brother Gu Shentong mentioned?"
Dugu Sheng looked at Lin Yi with suspicion.
Hearing this, the other Inner Sect Saints also focused their gazes on Lin Yi.
"The Undying Blood Clan spy you’re talking about should be over there."
Lin Yi pointed to the ground not far away.
There lay the body of Gu Shentong, already mutated.
"It really is the Undying Blood Clan!"
Shangguan Tiance and Dugu Sheng, along with the other Inner Sect Saints, quickly reached Gu Shentong’s body, looking at the corpse that had turned into the "Undying Blood Clan", their faces displaying shock.
However, by then Gu Shentong’s features had completely changed, and even his own father would likely not recognize him. Therefore, the Inner Sect Saints did not associate the body on the ground with Gu Shentong.
