Xu Qing glanced at Huo Yi’s body on the ground, at Du Cangying’s dripping finger, and at the expressions of everyone present. He nodded slightly.
Actually.
At first.
Xu Qing had been worried that Du Cangying would be too soft-hearted to kill his own senior disciple. After all, Huo Yi had indeed been with Du Cangying for a very long ti.
In a way.
He was almost like a son to him, so it would have been normal to show so rcy.
After all.
Du Cangying was unquestionably good to his disciples. Even when the Ye Family committed such a huge transgression, Du Cangying had still intervened, using his connections at the Governnt Office to get Ye Langtian out of prison.
Thankfully.
Du Cangying hadn’t been soft-hearted this ti. He had struck with ruthless and decisive cruelty, killing Huo Yi in a single blow before everyone’s eyes.
"Good, good, good!"
"A well-deserved death!"
"Huo Yi should have died long ago!"
"..."
The crowd shouted, excited and thrilled.
"Sigh..."
Jin Hong gazed at Huo Yi’s body and couldn’t help but sigh. He knew very well that Huo Yi had indeed been forced into it.
But.
Huo Yi had also brought this upon himself through his own greed. If greed hadn’t taken root in his heart, he wouldn’t have taken the Celestial Bridge Pill from Ye Langtian, and he wouldn’t have been coerced.
Of course.
The true culprit was still Ye Langtian.
In fact.
Compared to Huo Yi, Ye Langtian was the truly vicious one, utterly devoid of gratitude. If Du Cangying hadn’t secretly intervened, Ye Langtian would have long since been publicly beheaded at the ridian Gate.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
Suddenly.
The crowd heard roars and quickly looked over. They saw the surrounding Blood Corpses mutating one after another. The Blood Corpses were turning into writhing masses of flesh and converging toward the center.
"Wh-what is this?"
"Be careful!"
"!!!"
The pupils of the onlookers constricted, their faces etched with horror. They were in a state of utter shock, never having imagined the Blood Corpses could undergo such a bizarre transformation.
In the blink of an eye.
All the Blood Corpses fused together. Hundreds of them, once gathered, had beco a single, colossal monster.
"!!!"
Expressions of terror appeared on everyone’s faces.
"Heh heh."
In a corner.
Ye Langtian watched the scene unfold. This was all his masterpiece. A chilling smile spread across his face as he put away the Soul Summoning Bell in his hand. "Xu Qing, Du Cangying, you can stay here and enjoy my ’Blood Corpse King’ masterpiece. My Blood Corpse King will tear you to shreds for ."
As his voice faded.
Ye Langtian’s figure slowly lted into the darkness.
ROAR!
The Blood Corpse King bellowed.
A powerful aura surged forth.
"AHHH!!!"
The crowd scread.
Those who were closer were sent flying by the Blood Corpse King, landing more than ten ters away and crying out in agony on the ground.
"Oh."
Xu Qing’s expression was calm. He was sizing up the Blood Corpse King before him. It was indeed massive, crimson all over, and made entirely of piled-up muscles.
It stood a full six ters tall.
’Hundreds of Blood Corpses stacked together would surely be taller than six ters. The fact that this Blood Corpse King is only six ters tall must an it’s ford from the fusion of their essences, which explains its height.’
"Kill it!"
Du Cangying’s expression was grave. With a furious roar, he charged the Blood Corpse King, intercepting its advance. The two clashed.
After all.
Given the Blood Corpse King’s terrifying power, if Du Cangying hadn’t stepped in to stop it, the Cangying Martial Arts Hall would soon be a river of blood and a field of corpses.
"AHHH!!!"
BANG!
A cry of pain rang out.
Du Cangying coughed up blood. After just a few exchanges, the Blood Corpse King’s power proved too overwhelming. Du Cangying was defeated head-on, his chest caving in from a punch.
"Cough, cough..."
Du Cangying was sent flying backward. He stabilized himself after soaring over ten ters, coughed up more blood, and wore a grim expression. "This Blood Corpse King..."
"Master."
Xu Qing walked over, his expression calm. He gazed placidly at the Blood Corpse King and said with a smile, "Leave this Blood Corpse King to ."
"Xu Qing."
Du Cangying was stunned for a mont. Seeing the figure standing before him, he took a deep breath, got to his feet, and nodded gravely. "Alright! I’ll leave it to you! I will deal with the other remnants. We absolutely cannot allow any remnants of the Blood Demon Sect to remain in the Cangying Martial Arts Hall!"
"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded.
"Be careful!"
Du Cangying said. "This monster’s power is terrifying."
"Okay."
Xu Qing replied.
SWISH!
The mont he finished speaking.
Du Cangying charged into another part of the battlefield and began eliminating the traitors of Cangying Martial Arts Hall and the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect. The entire battlefield in the Martial Arts Hall’s Inner Courtyard was exceptionally bloody.
ROAR!!!
The Blood Corpse King roared furiously. It had clearly noticed Xu Qing. After its bellow, its massive body charged toward Xu Qing like a monster.
It was more like a small mountain.
"Hooo..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath.
Then.
He slowly adopted a stance, squatting slightly. His left hand ford a fist, his right a claw. The Gang Qi around his body began to surge, faintly emitting a blue-gold radiance.
VMMMM!
Faintly.
An invisible mighty power radiated outward from Xu Qing. Everyone present felt their breath catch, as if their hearts had skipped a beat.
They all felt an indescribable pressure.
"!!!"
Involuntarily.
Everyone looked over, their gazes fixed on Xu Qing.
"This..."
Du Cangying felt his scalp tingle. His eyes were wide with shock, his expression astonished. ’This mighty power... this strength... this aura...’
"Baji Fist! Boom!"
BOOM!
The next mont.
Xu Qing looked up. He let out a soft shout as his accumulated power erupted. His body shot forward like a terrifying streak of light, a horrifying amount of energy gathering in his fist.
"Die!"
RUMBLE!
Another roar of thunder.
Xu Qing threw the punch, fully unleashing the mighty power of Baji Fist. The terrifying fist struck the six-ter-tall Blood Corpse King.
BANG!
In an instant.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, even forming a fine mist.
One punch.
It was just one punch.
The Blood Corpse King’s upper body exploded. It couldn’t withstand the mighty power of Xu Qing’s punch at all. And Xu Qing hadn’t even used his full strength, rely drawing on the power of the Inner Gang Realm.
THUD!
The remaining lower half of the Blood Corpse King’s body collapsed to the ground.
"!!!"
Silence!
The entire area fell silent!
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was stunned, shocked to the core. They couldn’t snap out of it or calm down for a long ti.
Too strong.
Too terrifying.
He was simply too incredible.
"This..."
Du Cangying opened his mouth, but no words ca out. Just monts ago, he had been worried that Xu Qing wouldn’t be able to handle it, even reminding him to be wary of the Blood Corpse King’s imnse power.
And yet.
The mont Du Cangying had finished speaking.
Xu Qing had already struck. With just a single punch, he had unleashed an overwhelmingly destructive force and killed the Blood Corpse King.
"Junior... Junior Brother Xu..."
Jin Hong’s eyes were filled with deep admiration.
"Hooo..."
Du Cangying took a deep breath, gradually calming down. ’To have taken on such a disciple in my old age, I must be fortunate for three lifetis! Fortunate for three lifetis indeed!’
"Master."
Xu Qing retracted his hand and looked at Du Cangying. "The Blood Corpse King is dealt with, but Ye Langtian escaped during the chaos."
"The mastermind behind all this wasn’t Huo Yi, it was Ye Langtian. Huo Yi and the others have been dealt with, but we can’t let the mastermind, Ye Langtian, get away."
"I will go hunt down Ye Langtian now. I’ll leave the Martial Arts Hall to you, Master."
"Good!"
Du Cangying nodded. "Go. But still be careful. Ye Langtian is a Demon of the Blood Demon Sect, after all. Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit."
"Understood."
Xu Qing nodded.
SWISH!
Xu Qing used his Body Technique, leaping into the air and swiftly departing from the Cangying Martial Arts Hall. In a short ti, his figure vanished from everyone’s sight.
"Don’t let a single one escape."
Du Cangying withdrew his gaze. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent as he swept his gaze over those present and gave his order, "All traitors and Blood Demon Sect remnants must die here."
"Yes!"
"Kill!"
"..."
Jin Hong and the others roared.
"AHHH!!!"
"Run!"
"No! No! I was wrong! I was truly wrong! Spare !!!"
"..."
The Martial Arts Hall’s traitors and the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect scread incessantly.
But.
It was too late to beg for rcy now.
「anwhile, outside the Cangying Martial Arts Hall.」
Ye Langtian had already long since fled. Tucked carefully inside his robes was a translucent, blood-red crystal. This was Ye Langtian’s true prize from the past few days.
This blood-red crystal was called a Life Crystal.
As its na suggested.
It was a crystal refined from the lives of living beings. And not just any beings—they had to be Martial Artists. The quality of a normal person’s Essence of Life was insufficient. Furthermore, it had to be combined with a ’Flesh Field.’ By extracting the essence from the ’Flesh Field’ and fusing the two, it required an imnse amount of effort to slowly succeed in the refining.
Apparently.
The Blood Demon Sect’s ostensible goal was to take over the Cangying Martial Arts Hall as a foothold, from which they would slowly infiltrate all of Qingbei Town.
In reality.
Hidden within this superficial plan was Ye Langtian’s true objective. He wanted to use the Cangying Martial Arts Hall as a cover and its ’Flesh Field’ to refine a ’Life Crystal’.
Once it was refined.
Ye Langtian could use the ’Life Crystal’ in his hands to push his ’Devouring Demon Technique’ to the peak of the First Layer, which was also the peak of the ’First Realm: Mortal World’.
Now.
Ye Langtian had achieved his goal, which was why he had retreated so decisively.
’The Life Crystal is in my hands. All the ti and effort I spent planning this wasn’t in vain. Once I escape the city and enter seclusion to cultivate the Devouring Demon Technique, I’ll erge at the peak of the First Realm: Mortal World. I’ll even have the power to fight, and perhaps even kill, an Immortal Martial Artist.’
Ye Langtian was extrely excited.
