Free Web NovelChapter 746: Chapter 740: Breaking Through the Shackles
Even though Shen Ci’an tried hard to stabilize himself, ever since Xuan Che sacrificed himself, his strength had significantly diminished after splitting off, far from his former Blood Emperor power.
Instincts were even harder to suppress.
An uncontrollable scorching itch surged up in his throat.
The warm beast blood, like needles dipped in fire, pierced straight through his tightly drawn barrier of spiritual power, stabbing into the deepest, primal desire within his blood.
He was a pure-blooded Blood Clan Beastman, and bloodlust was an instinct engraved in his bones and blood, an innate source of power.
Yet at this moment, this desire had become the heaviest shackle.
Once he lost control, he would lose his reason.
Especially once he started drinking blood, he might not stop, thus failing to protect his wife.
He dared not release his instincts at all.
This Plant-type Beastman’s power was quite strange, and he could not afford to underestimate it.
Yet he still couldn’t control the frantic movement of his Adam’s apple, his sharp fangs unconsciously digging into his lower lip, tasting a trace of his own blood, which only intensified the bloodthirsty agitation.
It felt like countless bugs and ants gnawing at his meridians, clamoring to break free of their bonds and devour all the fresh, vibrant blood before him.
Shen Ci’an frowned deeply, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He had no choice but to divert most of his focus to activate the Blood Clan’s secret technique to suppress the surging instincts, splitting his Blood Clan superpower in his meridians into two streams: one to deal with Teng Lixuan, and the other desperately binding and restraining the restless bloodthirsty factor, two powers internally exhausting each other.
Teng Lixuan naturally noticed his strangeness, "As expected, you can’t refuse the instincts in your bones. Look, how delicious this fresh blood is."
Teng Lixuan wanted him to lose control so he could seize the heart blood from this female and obtain the power of the Green Lotus Sword.
But this male was protecting this female, and despite such a long fight, he couldn’t make a move.
Moreover, he sensed that his domain on the other side had been breached, and the people he had arranged might not be a match for that Mei Qingchen.
Once that Mei Qingchen broke through and found this place, he would be in danger.
Teng Lixuan transformed the green superpower from his body into a bucket to catch the blood, directly attacking Shen Ci’an.
"Let’s see how long you can hold out."
Su Muyao acted immediately, her Wood Element Ability erupting while simultaneously catalyzing the green plants on the ground.
The numerous green plants suddenly grew thicker and larger, attacking Teng Lixuan.
They also blocked that bucket of blood from spilling onto Shen Ci’an.
Su Muyao knew that Blood Clan Beastmen, especially pure-blood Beastmen, had even stronger bloodlust instincts.
Once that fresh blood stained him, the consequences could be unimaginable.
Moreover, seeing Shen Ci’an like this, he probably didn’t have any Blood Pills on him, and who knew how long it had been since he drank blood.
That’s why it was difficult to suppress such nature.
She must protect Shen Ci’an well.
Teng Lixuan looked at Su Muyao’s superpower, a strange and wondrous gleam passing through his light green eyes, "Truly deserves to be the one chosen by the Green Lotus, indeed different, to possess our Plant Beastman ability."
Teng Lixuan raised an eyebrow, showing an interested expression towards Su Muyao, a curve of interest forming at the corner of his mouth, "Interesting, interesting."
Saying this, he began ferociously attacking Su Muyao.
Su Muyao used her superpower and the Green Lotus Sword to retaliate, but she knew she was no match for this person.
However, Su Muyao became more courageous as the battle progressed, her Green Lotus Sword’s assaults becoming increasingly fierce, like frost, directly targeting Ye Tenglixuan’s vital points.
At the same time, she prepared to absorb the surrounding natural spiritual energy to boost her superpower, all to kill Teng Lixuan.
She felt this person was a threat and couldn’t be left alive.
However, the spirit plants around had just been drained by Teng Lixuan and began to wither, with only a small portion of the flora surviving.
Therefore, it was slower than usual to forcibly enhance her power using the secret technique.
Teng Lixuan realized something and didn’t give Su Muyao time, directly summoning stronger power to encircle her from all directions.
A vine seemed to transform into a palm, striking at Su Muyao from a distance.
Shen Ci’an suppressed his nature with all his might, seeing this scene, his expression changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately shielding Su Muyao.
That palm landed on Shen Ci’an.
But the power of the killing move not only affected Su Muyao but also made her stagger back continuously.
Shen Ci’an was utterly furious.
"How dare you harm her!"
Shen Ci’an was truly enraged, gritting his teeth fiercely, forcefully pressing down the metallic taste and bloodthirsty craving in his throat, charging once more, but the distraction of suppressing his instincts prevented him from fully unleashing his strength.
