His speed was fast, but the speed of the blood-colored aura was even faster. Just as Li Xiu's toes left the ground, the blood-colored aura had already risen to his neck, instantly constricting around it.
The Light of Truth blossomed in Li Xiu's hands as he attempted to grasp the constricting blood-colored aura, yet he caught only empty air. The aura passed through the Blood Armor like a phantom and then vanished.
Li Xiu immediately dispelled the Blood Armor and took out a mirror to inspect himself. He noticed a red blood mark encircling his neck, as if someone had drawn a red line around it with ink.
Aside from the moment the blood-colored aura contacted his skin, when Li Xiu felt a chill, there was now no sensation at all.
"Old Luo, what's going on?" Li Xiu asked as he touched the blood line on his neck.
The blood line seemed embedded in his flesh, so his fingers could not feel its presence.
"Don't ask me, I truly don't know," replied the Evil Luo King helplessly.
