Chapter 391: Chapter 254 Rongrong, You’re So Beautiful!_2
Lu Chen was not sure whether his guess was correct.
At this time, he glanced at the distant Shadow Guards who had not yet died. Although he had injured those Shadow Guards with his spiritual power, several of them had not died instantly.
Lu Chen then walked over and looked at a Shadow Guard who was still struggling on the ground, and then asked, “Do you want to live?”
The Shadow Guard hurriedly said, “Prince, spare my life!”
Lu Chen said with a smile, “I will give you a chance to live. Just consume your Blood Burst Pill and then use the Blood Ignition Skill, and I will let you go.”
Hearing these words, the Shadow Guard lying on the ground felt puzzled as to what Lu Chen wanted to do, but still, he quickly took out a Blood Burst Pill from his chest pocket and swallowed it.
After swallowing the Blood Burst Pill, the Shadow Guard also used the Blood Ignition Skill. In the next moment, his eyes turned blood-red, but because his skill had been enhanced, the pain from his injuries seemed much less severe than before. He suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
At this point, he got up from the ground and asked cautiously, “Prince, may I leave now?”
Lu Chen chuckled and said, “You may leave.”
Seeing that the North Prince really let him go, he was incredulous, but to avoid Lu Chen changing his mind, he immediately ran towards the distance.
However, he had not gone far when his body suddenly exploded, scattering into countless pieces, meeting the same fate as Wang Jiantao before him.
Lu Chen laughed softly; he could now basically confirm the condition that caused their self-destruction. As long as they used the Blood Burst Pill and then used the Blood Ignition Skill, they would explode and die.
He hadn’t expected his father to have such a method. Lu Chen then went back to Bai Qingqing’s side, grabbed her hand again, and checked her body for the second time. Still, he found no unusual substances in her body. Bai Qingqing’s body was very healthy and showed no signs of poisoning.
Lu Chen thought with confusion, Bai Qingqing had not consumed poison, but for something to act as a trigger for one’s self-destruction, that substance should continuously be present in the body. Why had he found nothing inside Bai Qingqing’s body after several checks?
At that moment, Lu Chen had a bold guess and asked the system in his mind, “System, can my Poison Immunity Body help others detoxify?”
[Yes, the body fluids of the host also possess the ability to detoxify.]
Hearing the system’s response, Lu Chen immediately understood what was going on.
No wonder there was nothing unusual in Bai Qingqing’s body. It turned out to be this.
Then, Lu Chen went to another Shadow Guard, grabbed his body, and while absorbing the Shadow Guard’s skill, he searched for the poison that Bai Qingqing mentioned.
Soon, Lu Chen found a mass of black substance in the Dantian of the Shadow Guard. He turned his head to Bai and said, “Bai, do you have any Blood Burst Pills on you?”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Bai Qingqing immediately took out a bottle of Blood Burst Pills from her sleeve and threw it to Lu Chen. Lu Chen caught the bottle, opened the cap, and shoved several Blood Burst Pills into the mouth of the Shadow Guard, then said to him, “If you want to live, use the Blood Ignition Skill.”
The Shadow Guard was already close to death, and to survive, he used the Blood Ignition Skill without hesitation. The next moment, the black substance inside him spread throughout his body and merged with the Blood Burst Pills he had just ingested. Right after, the Shadow Guard’s body began to swell.
Lu Chen kicked the Shadow Guard away with a foot. Because Lu Chen had already nearly drained the Shadow Guard of his skill, the Shadow Guard didn’t explode like Wang Jiantao and the other Shadow Guard. At most, it was an internal explosion, with a large amount of blood spewing out from his orifices.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was essentially certain of the means by which his father controlled the Shadow Guards.
Anyway, as long as the Shadow Guards used the Blood Burst Pills and executed the Blood Ignition Skill, they were undoubtedly destined to die.
But then again, had his father never considered the possibility of them actively betraying? For example, Bai Qingqing was actively betraying. Active betrayal did not require a desperate fight, thus the conditions for self-destruction could not be triggered.
Of course, even if Bai Qingqing now used the Blood Burst Pill and the Blood Ignition Skill simultaneously, she would not self-destruct because the black substance was no longer in her body. She had been overpowered by Lu Chen so many times, the poison inside her had long been purified completely.
At this time, Lu Chen directly used the Absorption Technique to absorb all the skills from the Shadow Guards on the ground into his body.
After Lu Chen dealt with these Shadow Guards, a guard asked, “Prince, shall we head to the military camp now?”
Lu Chen was about to say they should continue to the military camp, but he suddenly noticed his body was unbearably hot.
It wasn’t a big problem; it was just that he had absorbed too much skill at once and couldn’t digest it for the moment, which caused this condition. It had been like this in the past when he absorbed skills.
The solution was simple. Lu Chen glanced at Bai Qingqing in the distance. But he restrained himself and did not ask Bai to come into the carriage. He then returned to the carriage and said to the guards, “Send two people to inform the military camp and have the soldiers clean up the surrounding corpses. We are returning to the Prince’s Mansion!”
