The dead could actually still move!

Lu Xuan's eyes gradually turned solemn, his expression changing drastically as his once-calm face vanished.

Sure enough, those damned things were behind this. No wonder they could break free from those sturdy ropes.

"Father, leave first. Leave this place to me.

"These people have already lost their humanity!"

Lu Xuan deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

Thus, after Lu Xuan spoke those final words, Lu Jiahe immediately understood what he meant.

Without humanity, didn't that mean they were no longer human?

"Xuan-er, be careful."

"I'll gather some men and come back right away."

Lu Jiahe looked at Lu Jiaqing, signaling for him to forcibly pull his wife away.

The situation was urgent. Lu Jiahe needed to immediately gather the household servants to come assist Lu Xuan.

Although Lu Xuan was a martial artist, Lu Jiahe still could not put his mind at ease in the face of something so bizarre.

A few breaths later, Lu Jiahe and the others had all left.

Lu Yun'an, pinned beneath Lu Xuan's large hand, struggled wildly with strength beyond anything an ordinary person could imagine.

Oh?

Feeling that strength, Lu Xuan frowned tightly. It was already comparable to the strength of someone at major achievement in the Skin Refinement Realm.

Good heavens—a nineteen-year-old body that had never trained in martial arts could actually unleash such tremendous power.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan was just a tiny bit stronger than him. Otherwise, he might really have broken free.

While Lu Xuan held down Lu Yun'an, the other three men stopped tormenting themselves as well.

Instead, like predators spotting prey, they lunged toward Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan reacted at once. He gripped Lu Yun'an's head tightly, lifting him one-handed from the ground.

Then he raised his right leg and swept it in a rapid spinning kick at the dead men rushing in from all sides.

Boom! Boom!

A tremendous crash rang out, accompanied by the sound of splintering wood.

The dead men attempting to surround Lu Xuan flew like cannonballs into the room's walls.

They smashed through the walls and landed on the Blue Stone Slab ground outside the room.

Still clutching Lu Yun'an's head in one hand, Lu Xuan slowly stepped out through the hole in the wall.

Lu Yun'an writhed madly in midair, even scratching at Lu Xuan's body with his pair of twisted, deformed hands.

Lu Xuan paid it no heed. To him, Lu Yun'an's scratching was no more than an itch.

His body had long been tempered to an extraordinarily formidable level—skin like bronze, bones like iron, Qi and Blood surging like a rainbow, comparable to gold and stone.

A mere body of flesh and blood, dead or not, could never harm Lu Xuan's body that rivaled gold and stone.

Lu Xuan slowly walked onto the Blue Stone Slab ground and looked at the several bodies lying there.

Before long, those bodies sprawled across the ground like dead dogs began to twitch again, struggling in all manner of ways.

Yet without exception, each of their chests bore a conspicuous footprint—a footprint deeply embedded in their chest cavities.

The imprint was so deep that it was as though their upper bodies had been crushed into sheets of paper.

They still weren't dead?

Could things with undying bodies truly exist in this world?

A flicker of astonishment passed through Lu Xuan's eyes. He found it hard to believe.

That kick of his had been powerful enough to snap gold and shatter stone.

Looking at their still-ferocious faces, Lu Xuan's gaze sharpened, and the muscles all over his body bulged wildly.

In an instant, waves of fierce wind rose through the courtyard, sweeping out from around Lu Xuan's body.

Lu Xuan's robes snapped loudly in the gale, while his black hair lashed wildly like churning Dark Clouds, blotting out the sky and sun.

His already tall, burly frame seemed to grow even stronger, radiating a terrifying oppressive force from head to toe.

Lu Xuan decided not to hold back any longer. These Ghostly Things were far too wicked.

He had sent his father away earlier precisely to keep them from witnessing his true strength.

An undying body, is it? Then let me see whether you really are Undying and Unkillable.

A terrifyingly savage glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes. I'll beat you into powder and see if you can still piece yourselves back together!

Lu Yun'an, who had just been twisting and flailing in midair, suddenly seemed to experience heaven and earth turning upside down.

His entire head was slammed into the Blue Stone Slab ground by an immense force, until it was completely embedded beneath the Cave Entrance in the ground.

Immediately afterward, another burst of violently churning air echoed through the courtyard.

Lu Xuan's figure shot through the air like a ghost, carrying a tidal-wave-like momentum around him.

A startling Sha Qi seeped from his entire body. Looking closely, one could even vaguely see a thick layer of red aura covering Lu Xuan.

This was all caused by the circulation of Lu Xuan's Qi and Blood, showing that he had condensed the Qi and Blood throughout his body to the point where it was visible to the naked eye.

This was the terror of a Blood Refinement Realm martial artist. With Qi and Blood bolstering their entire body, every move carried boundless might.

Lu Xuan raised his right fist, terrifying power gathering upon it. The Qi and Blood around his fist sent ripples spreading through the air.

Then, a body as though struck by a horrific impact smashed rapidly toward the ground.

A deep pit, blasted out by a body of flesh and blood, abruptly appeared beneath Lu Xuan's feet.

Under Lu Xuan's full-force strike, that body had already been completely reduced to a puddle of mush.

This was because Lu Xuan's Qi and Blood had surged madly into its body in that instant, ravaging and destroying its bodily tissues.

Not a single part of the body's interior remained intact. It had all been churned into paste by Lu Xuan's Qi and Blood.

This was also the true terror of Blood Refinement Realm martial artists: their Qi and Blood could invade another's body and destroy them from within.

It worked!

Seeing that the body beneath his feet truly did not move at all, a gleam flashed through Lu Xuan's eyes.

It seemed these Filthy Things were not truly Undying and Unkillable after all.

Lu Xuan then used the same method to deal with the remaining people one by one.

In the end, only Lu Yun'an remained.

With complicated emotions on his face, Lu Xuan hesitated as he watched Lu Yun'an still trying to wrench his head free from the ground.

Lu Yun'an had not shared much of a bond with him. But he was still Lu Xuan's cousin, the cousin who addressed him as Big Brother whenever they met.

Since childhood, Lu Xuan had remained in his own courtyard, cultivating martial arts in bitter seclusion. He had only met Lu Yun'an a few times.

Yet he had never expected things to end this way.

Alas.

Though reluctant, Lu Xuan still dealt with him decisively.

After all, someone without a heartbeat and without humanity was no longer human, much less the cousin he had once known.

Oh!

Lu Xuan suddenly felt a stir in his mind and hurriedly checked the Point Addition System within it.

Host: Lu Xuan Realm: Blood Refinement Realm (Complete) Cultivation Technique: Blazing Fire Blade Art 9/9 (Major Achievement) (Can be deduced) Points: 11 The Blazing Fire Blade Art can be deduced. Deduce?

What!

The Point Count had changed. Lu Xuan's eyes widened as he stared at it in disbelief.

Lu Xuan clearly remembered that he had originally possessed only 1 Point Count.
