tina and the bottle in her hands started to glow in a deep red color. Jin could feel the dangerous energy in the strange bottle she held in her hands. He could also feel how the bottle was suppressing her own emotions and influencing her powers in a way where no change would be detected but they will become a thousand times better.
It was clear in front of jin that as long as tina had that bottle she was clearly unbeatable. But first, he had to dodge the attack Coming his way because it was immensely powerful to the point that even if a first auder person was to fight against her at the moment, she would be able to kill them in a matter of five-minutes or worse, would injure them to the point that they would not be able to make them an easy prey to hunt.
But as the old saying says: with great powers come greater risks. And in this case, the risk was on tina's own body which was not strong enough to handle her own powers.
She had been turned from a regular Vampire into a half primordial Vampire but the power she had control over were emence to the point that it was pressuring her own body greatly.
As jin saw the attack being prepared, he did not waste a moment and quickly surrounded himself with twenty barriers made and reinforced with hardened layers upon layers of blood. But it was not enough in his eyes so he prepared his own move against the incoming attack.
The move was finally finished and tina's body was now shrouded in a deep crimson color making her appear like the goddess of war which has descended on to the world of mortals to claim their lives but jin remained unaffected by this phenomenon because instead of her beautiful dissent, he was feeling a thick killing intent so strong that even the air around him started turning red in an instant and red miasma started covering the ancient trees.
"Crimson blazing dissent!"
"minor blood pierce!"
From tina's side, there was an attack which was powerful enough that it could kill jin instantaneously, and from jins side, there was a combined attack mixed from two skills namely the first sword wave from his Divine hexagrams minor sword chi and another of his families precious treasured skill called pierce point. He had created this skill when he was fighting Zara Quan and so far, it was his most powerful attack capable of getting rid of 70% of an enemies defense but this time, his purpose was not to injure tina, but to stop her attack. He used his blood manipulation to condense the blood and covered it around the chi attack making it more destructive. He wanted to make the two attacks collide with each other and hopefully cancel each other out or may be weaken tina's attack so his barriers could handle it and could save his life.
Both attacks launched at the same time and towards each other at a deafening speed which up-rooted the trees around them in a 1-KM radius making the tree's parts like branches or roots to fly towards them due to the strong current of wind but the twenty barriers jin had cast prevented any of them to hit them successfully.
Jin could no longer protect tina as he had to defend himself first. He hoped that tina would survive because if she were to die here, he would not be able to forgive himself as a person. he was a Cultivator not a heartless basterd to not to care about what he had done to her. But in a final desperation to save tina jin used blood manipulation and condensed the blood in a barrier covering tina's whole body and hoped for the best. Then he turned his back against tina and started to focus. Some kind of mysterious energy started flooding jins body. He starts to feel the long felt, warm energy of the Divine chi nourishing his body and protecting it from harm.
'system notification: one of your skills, Heavenly Divine body has reached level 2. Your HP had been restored by half. Due to the effect of the passive skill nourishment, you will restore 5 HP per second.'
Some of jins wounds heeled immediately as half of his total of 400 hp points re-generated themselves and stopped at 200; but they were very slowly but surely heeling even now.
But the stage of his Heavenly Divine body reaching level 2 was not in his calculations. It was a boost but instead of complaining jin welcomed it greatly.
"Sky steps!"
Jin used sky steps and jumped in the air but instead of falling because of the gravity he stood their like he was walking on the ground. By doing this and gaining Hight advantage against the terrifying attack of tina jin hoped that he would survive some of the damage and could be only fatally injured instead of being killed instantly.
He wanted to carry tina with him but the attack she had launched was locked to her so if she moved, the attack would follow her wherever she will go and strike whoever she wanted and, in this case, it would be none other than jin himself. But before jin could take even 5-steps in the air he heard a booming noise.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
The noise released by the explogen was strong enough that blood started to come out of jins ears and he stopped hearing for some seconds. He was also sent flying because of the great impact of the explogen. He felt that his bones were shattered, his lower body just below his balls were all burned to a crisp but no blood was Coming out because the wound as severe as it looks was cauterized by the burning fire.
He was grateful for the fact that he had avoided his balls getting crushed or else he would have lost his ability to reproduce this soon in the Apocalypse but the horrible pain from the impact numbed his senses and jin who was already deafened was not able to feel anything at all! He was now like a lam who was just waiting for his death but inside him, he was not even prepared. How much time has it been since he re-incarnated in this Apocalypse, not even ten-days! And he was about to die… what a horrible Cultivator! He was ashamed greatly to even think this; in his previous life, he had killed and killed and only killed people and had bathed in the rivers of their blood for the strength he had but, in this life, he wanted to liv in piece for once. He was an Immortal Cultivator. What one life would even matter to him when he can re-incarnate in-definitely whenever he dies… so he just wanted to experience what living in piece meant.
He suddenly thought of something and quickly acted on it immediately. A red pearl came out of his storage ring and started floating in the air around jin. Waves of blood gushed out from the pearl as jin opened his mouth and drank all of it to recover his injuries. In some seconds, he was as good as new. These were the magical effects of the legendary grade treasure; The Liquid Storage Pearl jin had gotten. With this use, he had spended one use of the lifesaving ability of the Pearl and only two remained.
He quickly swooped down from the air and looked at tina's body which was lying there on the ground. The earth was cracked from places, but she was safely lying in between two of the broken.
"she has a very good luck." Jin thought internally as he picked up her up and started to examine her condition.
Her body was burned from various places and unlike jin the wounds were not cauterized so they were bleeding profusely. Jin observed her wounds and found that her wounds were closing automatically and sighed in relief. She was now a half-primordial vampire, so her re-generation trait had advanced significantly.
Jin decided to observe her wounds a little longer. After five-minutes, he found out that the wounds on tina's body had stopped re-generating at once!
Jin did not panic though… and pulled out an empty beslurry bottle out of his storage ring and using the blood stored in the liquid storage pearl he quickly filled it with blood and put the bottle up against tina's lips.
The blood inside the bottle started dropping inside her mouth and using his mana jin helped tina in swallowing it. After tina swallowed the blood, her wounds started to recover again but this time, the speed was even more faster than before.
"yes! I managed to save her!" jin gleamed in joy and started to shout towards the Heavens in pure happiness. He continued shouting for five-minutes but after that when he returned back to his senses, he realized what kind of a grave mistake he had made.
In between his happiness he had forgotten that he and tina were in a forest filled with zombies and beasts; and his loud shout had attracted a large 10-meter tall bare in their direction.
Roaaaaaar!
The bare was looking very furious and hungry. Before Coming here, the bare was hunting his prey but when he was just about to divvaavver I, the bare heard a loud shout Coming from the distance. His focus slipped for a second but it was enough for it's prey to make a dash and escape the bare's grasp.
Hungry and enraged, the bare decided to go and devaver whoever had made that sound and started running towards their direction.
When it arrived there, he finally found the two people who were responsible for its prey escaping. Although tina had not made any sound since she was still unconscious but in bare's eyes she was the friend of it's enemy so he was now going to kill them for once and for all!
