Chapter 534: A Sword Smeared With Lethal Poison

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

To purify all the sins of this world?

Merlin was completely dumbfounded. Was this something a Blood Tribe cultivator should be saying? This Cassidy had to be an imposter!

“Don’t try to make jokes even if you don’t want to answer my question!” Merlin’s voice raised a few octaves in rage as he felt like he had been played for a fool.

However, Cassidy’s expression remained the same with no hint of emotion to suggest that she had been making a joke.

Right at this moment, a white streak of light flashed through the air toward Cassidy.

Cassidy turned and caught the streak of light to find that it was a white longsword with blood smeared on the blade.

She faltered slightly before turning her eyes on the man standing the distance behind her.

“That sword has my blood smeared on the blade; let Merlin taste the might of my blood,” An Lin said with a smile.

Cassidy immediately nodded with excitement on her face.

Merlin finally turned to look at the man in the distance, whose existence he had almost forgotten about.

He finally understood what was going on in that split second. That man definitely wasn’t just a snack to Cassidy; their relationship definitely went deeper than that!

There was even a possibility that Cassidy had attacked him because of that man!

Cassidy gripped onto the white longsword before turning to Merlin with a seductive smile. “Merlin, to you, this is a sword with lethal poison smeared on its blade…”

She then ran her tongue along the blade of the sword before a blush appeared on her face and her breathing accelerated as a blissful expression appeared on her face.

Merlin stumbled back a few steps and prepared himself for battle. In his eyes, Cassidy was clearly going to unleash some sort of mystic technique by licking the blood on the sword.

Cassidy continued, “It really is a weapon smeared with lethal poison…”

She took another lick!

Which was followed by another seductive moan.

Merlin’s eyes widened in confusion. “???”

“It’s poison, but it’s also medicine to purify your existence and help you understand the true meaning of life!”

Cassidy’s eyes rippled as she took another lick!

Right at this moment, a black shadow flew through the air before karate-chopping Cassidy’s head.

“Quit f*cking licking! There’s going to be no f*cking blood left if you keep licking!” An Lin flared up in rage.

Cassidy pouted her full, red lips. “I can’t help myself…”

An Lin’s lips twitched upon hearing this. What kind of excuse is that? If you keep this up, I’m going to abolish the blood reward system I proposed earlier!

He felt like giving a weapon with his blood smeared on it to Cassidy was a major mistake!

How was she going to kill anyone if she was so obsessed with licking the blood from her weapon?!

Merlin stared at the two of them with bewilderment on his face. However, he certainly wasn’t doing nothing during this period of time; he had already made a series of hand seals behind his back to try and escape from Cassidy’s spatial seal.

After copping a hit from An Lin, Cassidy finally began to focus on the task at hand, and she charged toward Merlin.

In response, Merlin brought out his banner to summon soul warriors in order to defend himself from Cassidy’s attacks.

The two of them were evenly matched in cultivation base, but Merlin had been severely wounded and weakened by Cassidy’s sneak attack, so he was soon forced onto the back foot.

Merlin soon sustained a wound on his waist, and he immediately stumbled back in retreat. However, Cassidy did not take this opportunity to press her advantage. Instead, she remained standing in the distance with her longsword by her side and a peculiar smile on her face. “It’s time for the holy blood to purify your evil body!”

She brought the longsword to her lips again as she spoke.

However, her brows furrowed slightly in disgust as she looked at the blade of the sword, which was now covered in Merlin’s blood.

That was quite strange to her. She loved all types of blood, and it simply wasn’t like her to be picky with her food.

Wait!

Cassidy came to a sudden realization. This was all because of the ridiculously high benchmark that had been set in her heart!

With Master An Lin’s delicious blood as the benchmark, how could she develop an interest in any other inferior-quality blood?

Merlin felt like Cassidy had definitely gone mad. Everything that came out of her mouth was completely inexplicable and made absolutely zero sense!

Merlin then turned his eyes upon the human male spectating their battle in the air above, and a thought suddenly occurred to him. Could it be that Cassidy had somehow come under that man’s control?

It was already inconceivable for a Soul Formation Stage cultivator to appear here in the Void Star Section. Furthermore, he appeared extremely calm and collected with not even a single hint of fear on his face. This was clearly not the normal reaction someone would have in the face of an enemy cultivator more powerful than themselves.

Just as all these thoughts were flashing through Merlin’s mind, the blood within his body was suddenly invaded by some type of indescribable power.

“Ah…” His knees collapsed below him, and he knelt on one knee on the ground before gripping his chest in agony.

The power was banishing something and destroying something, but from that destruction, something new was born. It was as if all the darkness had been expelled from the world, following which the light of the sun shone through completely uninhibited. This unfathomable feeling made him moan involuntarily…

“My body… it has changed, no! This… is my true body…” Merlin panted heavily as he spoke in a trembling voice.

He understood now. He finally understood what Cassidy was saying.

He couldn’t resist…

He couldn’t resist such delicious blood that could purify his very being!

Merlin stood up from the ground before spreading his arms like a fervent worshipper. “Come, Cassidy, use your weapon stained with lethal poison to cut me to your heart’s content!”

A conflicted expression appeared on Cassidy’s face. She was still struggling with the dilemma of to lick or not to lick. She didn’t want to waste her master’s blood, but it had been polluted by Merlin’s stinky blood. What should she do?

Xue Zhantian slapped his own forehead with a resigned expression. “And another one bites the dust.”

At this moment, An Lin leaped down gracefully from is brick. It was his turn to take the stage now!

An indescribable emotion welled up in Merlin’s heart at the sight of An Lin.

The man that was standing before him now was the god that had bestowed him with a new life. He couldn’t possibly bring himself to hurt this man; all he wanted to do was to love and protect his god…

Merlin was a little dumbstruck. Could it be… that he had fallen in love… No! It can’t be…

That’s right! The blood on the sword belonged to that man!

Merlin instantly grasped the situation as everything suddenly became clear to him.

An Lin looked down at Merlin with a profound expression. “Establish a slave contract with me, and I will grant you more of my blood! I will bestow upon you a new life!”

Merlin’s body trembled as he turned to look at Cassidy with a hesitant expression. “Could it be that you…”

“That’s right. I chose to follow him in pursuit of a new state of being.” Cassidy nodded with an unashamed expression.

It took courage to become the first person to make a drastic change.

But after that first step had been taken by a predecessor, the pressure eased significantly on everyone who followed in their footsteps.

After all, the mighty Sect Leader of the Heavenly Blood Tribe had already become An Lin’s slave, so it wasn’t too far-fetched for Merlin to become his slave as well…

Merlin hesitated momentarily before nodding in agreement.

He was then tied up by the Blue Sea Dragon Rope.

Merlin stared at An Lin with a dumbstruck expression. Why was he being tied up just for a slave contract?

A chill then suddenly ran down his spine.

Could it be… that this man was into some particular fetishes?!

An Lin pursed his lips before offering an explanation after seeing Merlin’s reaction. “I’m taking prophylactic measures so that you don’t swallow my blood essence like a certain somebody.”

Cassidy stuck out her tongue out before offering a slightly awkward smile.

An Lin suddenly turned to her before pointing up into the sky.

Cassidy looked back at him with a blank expression. “What is it?”

“Get the hell away from here! I don’t have any extra rope to bind you in case you try to pounce on my blood essence again…” An Lin elaborated with a stern expression.

Cassidy: “…”

After she left, An Lin straddled Merlin’s body to pin him in place…

…

In the end, An Lin successfully established a slave contract with Merlin.

He now had another Return to Void Stage henchman!
