Killing the Man and Crushing His Spirit

"Aren't you afraid of a lose-lose situation?"

"I'm not afraid."

What will it take for you to let me go?

"I won't let go."

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death! Set up the Blood Refining Formation!"

Driven to the brink by Lu Changsheng, the Old Man Xuelian had no choice but to fight Lu Changsheng to the death.

"Blood Refining Formation, activate!"

Eight Nascent Soul Realm Elders, each wielding Blood Banner, formed Blood Formation with the Old Man Xuelian. Blood light soared into the sky, and a chilling wind blew, trapping Lu Changsheng within it.

When the Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom arrived, Lu Changsheng was already trapped in the Blood Formation.

Elder Lu!

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom exclaimed in surprise.

Blood Formation set up by one Dao Palace Realm and eight Nascent Soul Realm is dangerous unless the Great Completion of the Dao Palace Realm.

"I didn't expect Elder Lu to be trapped in the Blood Formation so easily..."

"Is Elder Lu overrated?"

"This is dangerous."

Several Great Confucian who had accompanied the Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom turned pale upon witnessing Lu Changsheng trapped inside the Blood Formation.

Our strongest fighter here is actually in danger.

"Hahaha, it seems Lu Changsheng of Mount Shu is all talk and no action. Once I refine your Blood Qi, my cultivation will advance to a higher level!"

The Old Man Xuelian was overjoyed to find that Lu Changsheng didn't dodge at all and was directly swept into the Blood Formation.

Elder Lu...

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom was filled with worry.

"Don't worry."

Lu Changsheng suddenly transmitted his voice, his tone still calm.

He simply wanted to witness the wonders of the Blood Formation.

"We must trust Elder Lu! Focus on dealing with the other members of the Demon Sects!"

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom felt somewhat relieved and, together with the Great Confucian and the Imperial Guards, pursued the other Elders and disciples of the Mount Shu Reincarnation Hall.

"Anyone caught in Lao Tzu's Blood Formation, even if they are a realm higher than Lao Tzu, will be reduced to a pool of blood!"

The Old Man Xuelian and the eight Elders worked together to activate the Blood Formation, and the overwhelming Blood Qi condensed into Hundred Zhangs- tall Blood Demon with a huge Blood Claw, which slammed down towards Lu Changsheng.

Buzz!

Lu Changsheng formed Sword Art with his fingers, pointed forward, and the Nine Heavens Thunder-Controlling Sword was unsheathed, carrying majestic thunder and sharp Sword Qi, severing the Blood Claw!

The Sword Qi energy, undiminished, parted the blood waves and cleaved the Blood Demon in two at the waist!

At this moment, Lu Changsheng displayed his cultivation level at the Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer.

Lu Changsheng changed his hand gesture, Nine Heavens Thunder-Controlling Sword pierced through the Blood Formation, cutting through thorns and brambles, and pierced through a Nascent Soul Realm Elder, killing him with a single sword strike!

Lu Changsheng used the system to conduct dozens of combat simulations, and the enemies matched in each simulation were exceptionally difficult to deal with.

Lu Changsheng is now experienced in combat and has learned how to use his Innate Dao Body to sense the presence of his opponent.

Even if the Elders of the Reincarnation Hall hid inside the Blood Formation, they could not escape Lu Changsheng's discerning eyes.

"Is this all the Old Man Xuelian of the Reincarnation Hall has to Dao cultivation?"

Lu Changsheng sensed the Blood Formation's pathways and quickly located the Old Man Xuelian's position.

"Cut!"

Lu Changsheng activated the Nine Heavens Thunder-Controlling Sword, the wind howled, lightning roared and thunder rumbled, and surging Sword Qi slashed towards the Old Man Xuelian.

The Old Man Xuelian was startled and tried his best to dodge.

However, the sword was too fast, Old Man Xuelian was unable to completely escape the attack range of the Nine Heavens Thunder-Controlling Sword. One of his arms was shredded by the Sword Qi!

"Ahhh!!"

The Old Man Xuelian's face was contorted in a ferocious grimace as he screamed in agony.

"If this is all you're capable of, then it ends here."

Lu Changsheng wanted to witness the Secret Method of the Reincarnation Hall, which is why he tormented the Old Man Xuelian; otherwise, Lu Changsheng wouldn't have used only his cultivation at the Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer.

"I'm really going to fight you to the death!"

"Blood Formation - Summoning Demons!"

The Old Man Xuelian knew that he had to sacrifice his lifespan in order to have any chance of escaping this calamity.

The Old Man Xuelian offered up the Blood Pearl, and a bloody light shot into the sky. He chanted an incantation, and the Blood Formation seemed to come alive, with blood waves surging and swallowing the other seven Elders of the Reincarnation Hall!

"Elder Xuelian, you...!"

The seven Nascent Soul Realm Elders never expected that Elder Xuelian would sacrifice them to enhance the power of the Blood Formation, and their bodies rapidly withered away!

Old Man Xuelian's body, merging with the Blood Demon. The Blood Demon, which had been cut in two, was reborn and continued to grow stronger, eventually reaching a height of two hundred feet.

"Sixth Layer of the Dao Palace Realm? A heretical path, indeed, it has some substance."

"You made me waste three hundred years of my lifespan, I will definitely kill you!"

The Old Man Xuelian manipulated the Blood Demon, causing countless waves of blood to surge like a monstrous wave, sweeping towards Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng's Innate Dao Body is unaffected by the negative emotions brought about by the overwhelming Blood Qi.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin!"

Lu Changsheng spoke slowly and deliberately, still using the cultivation level of the Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer. Even so, Lu Changsheng's Spiritual Qi was several times that of other cultivators at the same level, and he was comparable to a normal cultivator at the Sixth Layer of the Dao Palace Realm.

The Old Man Xuelian only temporarily raised his cultivation level to the Sixth Layer of the Dao Palace Realm through the Blood Formation. His cultivation level was unstable, so Lu Changsheng could defeat him with his cultivation level of the Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer without having to reveal his true cultivation level.

To kill someone by using a lower level of skill than them is the true way to destroy their spirit.

Ten thousand spiritual swords pierced towards the Blood Demon.

A violent tremor erupted within the Blood Formation as two terrifying auras collided.

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom, the Great Confucian, and the imperial guards outside the Blood Formation felt the surge of the Old Man Xuelian's aura, and their expressions changed.

"I wonder if Elder Lu is capable of defeating the Demon? Elder Lu is being presumptuous. You should join forces with me; at least I can be of some help."

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom killed three disciples of the Reincarnation Hall with her sword, but she was filled with worry.

Suddenly, the Blood Formation collapsed, and the towering blood waves turned into a rain of blood.

Lu Changsheng appeared, still Dao Bone, without a trace of blood.

"Where are the Old Man Xuelian and the other Elders of the Reincarnation Hall?"

"I killed him."

"Hiss..."

The Xia Kingdom group was horrified to see that Lu Changsheng had single-handedly killed the Old Man Xuelian and eight Nascent Soul Realm Elders without sustaining any harm himself.

An ordinary Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer cultivator trapped in the Blood Formation by the Old Man Xuelian and eight Nascent Soul Realm Demon Sects Elders would surely suffer no damage whatsoever.

"The Old Man Xuelian's Eight-Sided Blood Banners are Middle-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasures. The Blood Pearl are Upper-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasures. It's best not to let these kinds of Law Treasures circulate."

Lu Changsheng sealed the Old Man Xuelian's Law Treasure inside the Dao Palace Minor World.

Lu Changsheng was not lacking in Law Treasures; the Blood Banner and Blood Pearl were better than nothing.

Furthermore, when fighting the Old Man Xuelian, Lu Changsheng clearly felt that the Old Man Xuelian's realm was somewhat unstable. Although using the Blood Formation to improve his cultivation was a rapid process, it was ultimately Evil Dao, and his foundation was not solid enough.

Lu Changsheng killed the peak Old Man Xuelian with only the cultivation of the Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had seized all of the Old Man Xuelian's Law Treasures, the Xia Kingdom group was certain that the Old Man Xuelian had been killed by Lu Changsheng.

"Elder Lu's Dao cultivation is profound; how dare we doubt whether Elder Lu is a match for the Old Man Xuelian? We are truly ashamed."

"If it weren't for Elder Lu's intervention, we would have already met a terrible end."

The Great Confucian of the Xia Kingdom all praised him.

"Elder Lu, I used the Soul-Seeking Technique to locate a stronghold of the Reincarnation Hall from the memories of its disciples. I have sent a letter back to the Imperial City, requesting the Imperial Preceptor of the Academy of Letters to destroy this stronghold. I would like to ask Elder Lu to accompany us. As for the reward, everything is negotiable."

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom pleaded with eyes full of adoration.
