“Hmm…”
After letting out a light snort, Jade’s consciousness returned, and she woke up. Right after she woke up, she felt numbness, a tingling and tight sensation, all over her body. She touched her body and was shocked…
‘Where is Alex? Where is that brat?’
“Huh? You really managed to survive. You kind of surprised me.” An old voice woke Jade up, it was the old hammer nagging.
As soon as Jade got to her feet, she saw a large expanse of dark red blood and Alex lying motionless on the ground.
“Alex! Alex… Wake up!
“What’s wrong with him? Ah… His leg, his stomach, and this… What happened? How is there so much blood?! Why is he so badly injured?”
Jade looked anxious as she shook Alex repeatedly.
The old hammer said, “He is going to die soon… This guy is really strange. Logically, he should have been dead. Why is his life still hanging by a thread? Why does he refuse to die?”
At the old hammer’s words and tone, Jade’s eyes were filled with rage. “Tell me. What on earth happened?”
The old hammer said casually, “The process was very simple. Your bloodline was too weak. The activation time of the Titan Tribe bloodline was limited, so you were almost killed by the astral wind. This brat saved you with his flesh and blood, but, hmm… He is about to die. Consider it… Him fulfilling his wish.”
“What did you say?”
“Do you not understand me? Your comprehension is so terrible. I think it’s unlikely that you will activate your bloodline. Fine! You may see it for yourself!”
A screen suddenly lit up from one side of the Martello Celia. This was just like movie footage, not to mention it was extremely clear. The scene of Jade protecting Alex under her body before the astral wind knocked her out was playing.
Then, she saw Alex sever his artery and pour his blood on her body.
The footage was fast-forwarded… He shed more and more blood…
Golden light shot out of her eyes, with totems soaring inside.
“Huh?!” The old hammer was stunned. “You couldn’t activate the bloodline in your body when you were near death. However, when you hear that your love is about to die, you actually show signs of activation! Looks like you really love each other to the core. But unfortunately, he can’t impregnate you or have a child with you.”
“Shut up! He is my disciple.”
“Disciple? Oh gosh…” The old hammer seemed to have bitten its tongue… If only it had a tongue. “Of course, it is a duty for a disciple to save his master. He will die a worthy death.”
Jade gritted her teeth. “I want to save him.”
The old hammer refuted, “You can’t save him. He is beyond salvation.”
Jade’s eyes looked firm. “When I briefly activated my bloodline, I acquired some information. The Titan Tribe has an omnipotent spell called the Life Sacrifice.”
The old hammer screamed like a eunuch. “Have you gone mad?! If you use the Life Sacrifice, your life will be merged with this human! If he dies, you will die too!”
