The item I identified is very strange.

Chapter 40 With the Blood Qi Rune in my mouth, all things are in my hands!

Xia Fan stood to the side like an ordinary old man.

But at that moment, he took a slight step back, mustered all his strength, clenched his fist, and punched towards Zhi Se's face.

boom!

As his blood energy surged, Zhi Se, who had been reaching for Chen Xiaoxue's ankle, immediately covered his face and took several steps back.

Xia Fan also felt the force of the rebound.

As expected, martial arts masters are all made of iron and steel. He was only a fourth-level martial artist. Even if the martial arts master was not on guard and let him hit him at will, he could only knock the person back a few steps.

The gap is really quite large.

"Old Deng, you..."

Chen Xiaoxue was stunned; she had already realized that Xia Fan was also a martial artist.

Before she could speak, Xia Fan quickly ran over, picked up Chen Xiaoxue in a princess carry, and ran towards the outskirts of Jiangbei City.

This is the wisest choice at present, because no one knows whether the Thunder Gate or the Ning family will receive the news first.

If it were the Ning family, perhaps they wouldn't do anything, but there are other scenarios where, in order to minimize the impact on their reputation, they would choose to eliminate them.

The two Buddhist monks exchanged glances and quickly gave chase.

At this moment, Xia Fan was moving very fast, much faster than a normal martial artist. This was because the Tai Xu Visualization Diagram, combined with his fully charged blood energy, allowed him to move at an extremely fast speed.

He felt the beautiful girl's delicate body, soft and elastic, especially the smooth, delicate skin at the back of her legs.

Chen Xiaoxue looked up, somewhat stunned: "Old Deng, you've become a martial artist? When?"

"Some time ago."

Xia Fan didn't have time to answer. His gaze was fixed on the overpass ahead. They were already very close to the suburbs, but the two monks behind them were chasing very closely.

After confirming that Xia Fan and Chen Xiaoxue had run towards the suburbs, the two of them didn't seem to be chasing them in a hurry.

"Old Deng, since you are a martial artist, why didn't you show up at the crucial moment? At that time, even if my ankle was grabbed, I could have broken free."

Xia Fan rolled his eyes and didn't answer. That was the source of blood energy, and he absolutely couldn't let anything happen to it.

Of course, he wouldn't say these things.

Seeing that Xia Fan didn't speak, Chen Xiaoxue blushed slightly and looked away, muttering softly, "That old man, so possessive of his food."

She knew perfectly well why he had chosen to stand up just when her foot was about to be grabbed.

"What are you muttering about?"

"It's nothing. Speaking of which, Lao Deng, why wasn't I carrying you? I'm a martial arts master, I can run faster." Chen Xiaoxue asked with a cool expression.

Xia Fan's face darkened.

It's not a big deal that this old man ran away carrying a beautiful girl.

He couldn't even imagine how beautiful the scene would be if a beautiful young girl carried this old man away.

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm asking you, if you only faced one of the monks, could you solve the problem?" Xia Fan asked as he ran.

Chen Xiaoxue raised her head again: "Old Deng, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, the strength you had just used is at most the level of a mid-level martial artist. A martial master could kill you instantly."

"Hehe, didn't you always make this old man go out to see you off? Why are you worried now?" Xia Fan teased.

"I'm just afraid your brains will get smashed out, and then I'll have to put them back in a bag," Chen Xiaoxue replied matter-of-factly.

"Get lost, just tell me if you can or can't you?"

Xia Fan knew this girl wouldn't come up with anything good.

Once I've recovered a bit, I'll use your connections to get in, and see if you dare to spout nonsense here again.

Chen Xiaoxue stared intently at Xia Fan. In her memory, Xia Fan was the type who was afraid of death and would never die for no reason.

But she couldn't help but worry.

"Yes, I can handle it within ten minutes if I face one of them alone," Chen Xiaoxue replied confidently after a moment's hesitation.

"Okay, let's separate them right there by the lake!"

……

On the lakeside in the suburbs of Jiangbei City, you can see the most prosperous area across the way, where the back alleys are located, with many high-rise buildings flashing dazzling lights.

The most eye-catching signboard of the New Blood Group is played on a loop in several buildings.

When they reached the lakeside, Chen Xiaoxue quickly left Xia Fan's arms, and Xia Fan turned around. They each targeted different people and attacked.

Xia Fan clenched his fist and punched Zhi Se. This time, Zhi Se was prepared and unleashed his martial arts blood energy to retaliate.

boom!

The fists collided, and Xia Fan staggered back several steps, but did not perform any further action.

Zhi Se frowned. He felt that the old man was very strange. That punch just now could have crippled the old man, but it seemed that some invisible thing blocked it, causing him to misjudge.

"Benefactor, do you intend to separate us and defeat us one by one? But benefactor, with your strength, you can't even last two minutes."

Xia Fan looked at the monk in front of him.

Theistic Buddhism.

He had heard that this was a gathering place for completely unreasonable evil martial artists, and that their visualizations had one condition: castration of oneself.

This is also why they are quite perverse, always liking to select young girls for their so-called "conversion".

This can increase their cultivation speed, but the girls will die a terrible death, and may even suffer a mental breakdown during the process.

Seeing that Xia Fan did not answer, Zhi Se smiled and looked at Chen Xiaoxue, who had already started fighting not far away: "I can see that you care a lot about that female benefactor. I will spare your life so that you can see with your own eyes how we use wine bottles to convert that female benefactor."

Xia Fan didn't listen to what the bald monk was saying at all; he was just thinking about what method to use to fight him.

After much thought, I realized I still had to pick up the blood energy rune.

He sacrificed so much to protect the source of his blood energy, but it was all for the sake of extending his lifespan. Even if he carried blood energy runes, it didn't matter...

Thinking this, he took Chen Xiaoxue's white socks out of his pocket.

Zhi Se: "?"

He was a little confused. What was the old man in front of him trying to do by taking out the women's white socks at this critical moment?

Are you crazy?

Immediately afterward, under his questioning gaze, Xia Fan brought the white socks closer, gritting his teeth as if he were struggling with something.

Even if you've prepared yourself mentally, you still can't help but feel conflicted at this moment.

He initially thought it was no big deal if he was holding it in his mouth, but upon closer reflection, what kind of scene would it be if an old man were fighting while holding a woman's white sock in his mouth?

Finally, Xia Fan clenched his fist.

He gently rubbed the material of the white socks, then without further hesitation, he leaned closer and put the blood rune in his mouth.

A faint milky aroma wafted over, and Xia Fan immediately felt that the blood energy in his body seemed to have transformed into something else.

The moment he caught the blood rune in his mouth, he felt as if he had been embraced by heaven and earth, a feeling of exhilaration.

All the meridians in my body became unobstructed.

His eyes immediately lit up with excitement. His previous understanding of blood runes came mostly from Chen Xiaoxue's description of invincibility among those of the same level.

But now it seems that this is not just being invincible among his peers. This feeling of exhilaration made his eyes excited, and he even clenched his blood energy runes even tighter.

That's great, I'm starting to understand everything!

So this is what power feels like!

Xia Fan was filled with excitement, and the blood energy on his body gradually became transparent.

Zhi Se was dumbfounded.

He had never seen anyone take out a white sock and put it in their mouth during a fight. He had never even imagined it.

Moreover, seeing Xia Fan's excited appearance, he couldn't help but take a step back.

He even had the illusion that this old man was more suitable to be the holy son of Buddhism, especially with his energetic appearance, which made Zhi Se's mind a little confused.
