Apex War God Chapter 0025: Refining the Bloody Aura

Wan Lanxin covered Yang Wu with her jade umbrella, although doing so left her vulnerable and having to face the bloody shadows alone. Fortunately, she could rely on her Profound Armor, a General Realm ability, to guard her against a few incoming strikes.

She wanted to rush past these bloody shadows and reach the blood altar, but as she approached, the shadows grew more savage, and her armor could no longer withstand their attacks. Some of the bloody aura reached her, and both her mind and flesh suffered excruciating pain.

She tried to expel the bloody energy, but it was like a maggot. Once it got in, it was very difficult to remove. This energy corroded her mind and body simultaneously.

Wan Lanxin's agonized cries startled Yang Wu, awake now after reaching a new level of strength. Noticing the jade umbrella, he realized Wan Lanxin had risked her life to save his. The gesture touched him deeply, and he wrapped a hand around the handle of the umbrella before rushing to her side.

Unfazed by the continued onslaught, he circulated the Supreme Nine Profound Art, drawing any bloody aura that reached him into his dantian. The peach-pit dantian rapidly refined the energy, purifying and using it to strengthen him.

This environment had become an optimal location for his cultivation.

Yang Wu dashed forward, sweeping the jade umbrella toward the shadows preying on Wan Lanxin. As he covered her with it, she felt an immediate sense of relief.

The woman’s expression betrayed her anguish. She fought with all her might, which was harder than usual, thanks to the bloody aura’s tenacity.

“Hold on, Big Sister Lanxin!” Yang Wu was at a loss; his only option was to pull her to a safe place where she could catch her breath.

Under the shelter of the jade umbrella, Wan Lanxin’s situation improved dramatically, but the bloody aura within her still needed to be expelled. She retrieved a pill from her cloth belt, popped it into her mouth, and settled down with crossed legs to force the aura out.
