The Human Giant

Chapter 390 Chapter 389: Sound of Bells

"Cough,"

After regaining consciousness, Jilque's painful cough snapped him out of his daze, causing him to look down at his chest.

It was a mess.

He couldn't distinguish his flesh from his organs as everything had been crushed into a bloody mush. Even his bones were shattered into millions of shards that were mixed in. With the evidence of how close to death he was, Jilque's mind instantly regained clarity as the cold sensation of death overwhelmed his chill coming from his inner vigor.

"I need to swap to my Grand Health Blood Armor, or I'm going to die!" Jilque clenched his teeth so hard that they were being ground into dust, but he was grateful for the pain as it kept his mind from being consumed by the darkness of death.

The flaw of the Dual Armor path was on full display. For Jilque to use his Grand Healing body cultivation method, he needs to withdraw his Blood Armor and release the Blood Armor tailored for the Grand Healing method.

Only this way his healing ability would reach a level where he could heal his deathly injuries before he succumbed to them. However, that would temporarily result in him losing his fighting capabilities and giving Yoze and... his assistant a golden opportunity.

However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, do the swap, pray that he could heal himself, and switch back to his Death Ice Armor before they arrived. This usually wouldn't be a problem as Blood Masters with such a high level of explosive capabilities were rare, and martial arts techniques that matched up to the Blood Breaker Fist were even rarer.

As soon as Jilque decided, he instantly commanded his blood to return and reabsorbed every last drop in a second. After retrieving his Death Ice Armor, a wave of mind-destroying pain poked at his brain as the extreme cold no longer dulled the pain.

However, he didn't have to endure such a bone-wrenching pain level for long as his pale skin quickly turned bright pink as droplets of blood dripped from his forehead. In the beginning, only a few droplets of blood flowed down his forehead to his chest before being absorbed by the ground-up flesh like water and a sponge. That quickly changed as the amount of blood droplets exponentially increased until it grew to the point that a bloodstream connected his forehead to his chest was formed.

Stimulated by the blood, Jilque's flesh rapidly healed without leaving a trace of any injuries while containing his crushed organs and bones inside his body for the remaining bloodstream to heal.

He would be fully healed and at his peak in less than ten seconds. Then, he could fight Yoze again and be prepared for surprise attacks. Unfortunately, Jilque's fantasy about drinking Yoze's blood from his skull was trampled on when he saw the giant wearing armor made out of blood rushing toward him; his heart sank.

"Just a few more seconds... Just a few seconds, and I would have won." Jilque muttered as he clenched his fist in anger.

"Hahaha, Yoze, you did it! We can kill him!" Suzanne's eyes shone with intense murderous intent as she wanted nothing more than to kill the man who made her feel helpless so many times.

"Thank god I didn't hit him too hard." Yoze's heart nearly tightened when he saw the depth of Jilque's injuries, but when he noticed the bloodstream coming from the thick red bloodstream healing Jilque's devastating wounds, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, his desire for Jilque's body cultivation methods surged as the injuries that Jilque had suffered would have caused him to be bedridden for weeks, if not months. Yet, this type of wound was trivial compared to the effectiveness of this healing body cultivation method.

If he had this level of healing, he could fight immortals on more even ground and be less afraid of fighting multiple immortals and demons at the same time. In nearly all aspects, his combat capability would experience a large amount of growth.

"Ding Ding Ding"

Suddenly, just as Yoze and Suzanne were about to reach Jilque, they heard the sound of bells slamming into each other. At first, the sound of bells was faint and couldn't even be heard by ordinary people, but before they knew it, the sound had become so loud that it felt as if it was right next to them.

"No, it is!" Yoze's pupils shrunk as he realized it wasn't just a sound.

As if it had teleported in front of him, Yoze caught a glance at a cluster of blue spiritual energy that was moving toward them at a speed that could only be described as ridiculously fast. It was so fast that his eyes could barely keep track of the cluster of spiritual energy, and that was only because it was heading straight for him.

In less than the time that a person could blink, the cluster of spiritual energy had gotten so close that it was only centimeters away from him. Yet, he couldn't see what the cluster of spiritual energy came from at all! Taking action immediately, Yoze quickly embraced Suzanne and turned around to use his back as a shield.

The cluster of spiritual energy was so fast that he couldn't do anything else, including mobilizing his blood to form a better defense. He could only endure the attack and use this opportunity to take further action.

Just as Suzanne suddenly found herself between Yoze's arms and pressed against his metal-like blood armor, the cluster of spiritual energy slammed into Yoze's back with an almost irresistible force.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the same time, Yoze felt ten more hits with the same overwhelming force, causing his tough blood armor to be heavily dented. Before a final hit from the cluster of spiritual energy sent him, Suzanne and Gilan flew as if they weighed nothing.

They easily flew over Jelly Town, causing the remaining few people in the Town to quiver with fear as they all hastily went into their homes and locked their doors. It was already brazen for anyone to attack the Town. It had never happened in Jelly Town's history, much less the devastating battle between Blood Masters.

If they weren't careful, they might accidentally die during the Blood Masters fight, which was not something that anyone wanted to imagine at the moment.

On the other side of Jelly Town, a red meteor crashed into the forest, leaving only a trail of destruction as countless plants were crushed under the immense weight and speed of the red meteor. After coming to a complete stop, the 'red meteor' suddenly cracked open, revealing a dazed Suzanne and Gilan.

After Suzanne and Gilan stepped outside the 'red meteor,' it collapsed and transformed into a large humanoid creature covered head to toe in dark red armor. This was, of course, Yoze, who had just experienced the feeling of being able to fly for the first time.

After shaking his head to organize his thoughts, Yoze shifted his focus to the two ladies and asked them if they were alright.

"Other than feeling like my head just got hit with a sledgehammer, I'm doing okay," Suzanne responded as she rubbed her forehead with her fingers to reduce the discomfort coming from her head.

"I-i am doing okay. What happened just now, and where are we?" Gilan stuttered as she tried to present a strong image.

Unfortunately, she failed as her deathly pale skin that was drained of blood and the cold sweat dripping down her body showed that she was not doing as fine as she said. Yet that was to be expected as her body was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person's at this point.

Without the double-layered protection that came from Yoze's and Suzanne's blood armor, she would not have survived the impact of their crash. But at the moment, Yoze and Suzanne didn't have time or enough energy to question her.

They had another dire matter to attend to, and that was what had just attacked them. From Suzanne's perspective, after hearing the sound of bells, Yoze suddenly put her in his embrace before eleven powerful attacks sent them flying.

From start to finish, she hadn't seen even a single piece of their attacker, and the fear in her heart exploded. If it wasn't for her strong willpower and her knowledge that ghosts didn't exist, she wouldn't have been able to stay as composed as she was.

The only one who could know what had happened was Yoze, who had taken it upon himself to endure the powerful attacks that would have killed them easily. After taking a deep breath, Yoze looked at Suzanne's and Gilan's eyes meaningfully and slowly answered.

"A Martial Grandmaster must have attacked us!"
