Blood Saber Revived?

"They're fighting—go!"

Nearly a hundred people, their eyes bloodshot, charged toward the altar at once, hoping to fish in troubled waters.

"Haha, I got it!" Taking advantage of the chaos, the Poisonous Snake Gang's leader snatched up one of the purple boxes, joy surging through his heart as he immediately prepared to retreat.

With his strength, obtaining one of them was already his limit.

"Courting death!"

Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan was enraged. He had been fighting the Black Cloud Elders on the front line, yet this old bastard had gone straight for the treasure.

How did someone who had not even reached the Xiantian Realm dare compete with him for treasure?

Of the white, purple, and red treasure boxes, this purple box contained either the Blood Saber Manual or the Three-Cycle True Essence Pill. With it, in a few more years, he would become the next Blood Saber.

At that thought, the cruelty on his face deepened by several degrees.

Blood Demon Luo Hand!

A sinister claw whistled through the air, shooting straight for the Poisonous Snake Gang leader's head.

This was an enraged strike from a Xiantian expert. If it landed, there would be no chance of survival.

The Poisonous Snake Gang leader erupted with speed at once, trying to dodge, but a Xiantian expert's speed surpassed his by far more than a single level. His head escaped, but his right arm was struck on the spot.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rang out, followed closely by the Poisonous Snake Gang leader's agonized howl.

"Ah..."

The Poisonous Snake Gang leader's face twisted savagely. The pain of shattered bones made him wish he were dead. He had thought that, with his Half-step Xiantian strength, even if he could not defeat a true Xiantian expert, he would not collapse at the first touch.

It seemed he had been far too naive.

Between the Acquired Realm and the Xiantian Realm lay a chasm far greater than he had imagined.

The purple treasure box changed hands once more, falling into Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan's grasp.

"Lin Shan, hand over the treasure box, and we'll spare your life!"

The Black Cloud Elders panicked. Seeing the treasure box that likely held a legacy fall into Blood Demon Hand's possession, they charged again, intending to join forces and suppress him before seizing the box.

"You two old fossils are practically in the grave already, and you think you can take me?" Lin Shan laughed instead of getting angry. The world knew only that he had made his name through Blood Demon Hand, but they did not know that his true trump card was his escape technique.

If he wanted to flee, even a late-stage Xiantian expert could do nothing to him.

The scene descended into chaos. The treasure boxes changed hands several times, while the number of dead and injured rose beyond thirty and continued climbing.

Chu Jiang remained where he was, in no hurry to seize any treasure. He had a feeling that this place was not so simple. Could Blood Saber's legacy truly be placed before them so easily?

Free for anyone to take.

Seeing this, Lu Feiyang's eyes gradually reddened. He hurriedly urged, "Master Chu, let's get down there quickly. If we're late, we won't even get to drink the soup."

Chu Jiang remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Blood Saber's corpse atop the altar.

"Something's wrong, sir."

Liu Guangwu grabbed Ma Han when he saw him about to rush toward the altar. Several Demon Hunters were the same, and he violently knocked them awake.

"There's demon aura!"

"A demon?" Liu Guangwu's eyes widened. Although he had sensed that something was wrong, he had not felt the aura of demons or devils.

Besides Chu Jiang, the Hundred Flowers Sect had also noticed the anomaly. Bai Ruoxue's brows lifted slightly, her lips moving as though she were murmuring something, which kept her group from charging toward the altar.

Very soon, a chill spread from the two women's bodies.

"The Hundred Flowers Sect's Ice Heart Sutra. No wonder those women aren't affected."

"The Ice Heart Sutra can calm the mind and guard the soul, resisting the soul voices of demons and devils!"

"That cold-faced woman is probably a core figure of the Hundred Flowers Sect. The younger one isn't simple either."

Liu Guangwu spoke.

Chu Jiang's gaze shifted slightly. The Hundred Flowers Sect had once been the seventh greatest sect in Annan Commandery, with several Vajra Realm experts within its ranks. Though it had since declined, such methods were nothing strange.

But Liu Guangwu was merely a small county constable from Baishi County. How had he resisted this bizarre pull when even Xiantian experts could be infected by it?

It seemed the waters of Baishi County ran deep, hiding secrets he did not know.

Just then, a sudden change erupted.

At the center of the altar, Blood Saber King Qi's corpse suddenly stood up.

His eyes were hollow, and an eerie aura radiated from his entire body.

Neither human nor devil.

"A ghost! Run!"

When everyone saw Blood Saber King Qi awaken, their faces filled with terror.

The heavy aura pressed down so hard that they could barely breathe.

"Wasn't Blood Saber King Qi already dead? Why do I feel like he's come back to life?"

"Could he have broken through to the Vajra Realm?"

As they fled, everyone's thoughts raced. Blood Saber King Qi had once been a ruthless figure who dominated an entire region, a savage man who could slay Vajra Realm experts while still in the Xiantian Realm.

An iron-blooded powerhouse who had walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, killing without batting an eye.

Now he had awakened.

Seeing them trying to steal his belongings, how could they possibly remain alive?

"Since you've come, then all of you can stay!"

Blood Saber King Qi's voice was low and sonorous. A powerful pressure weighed heavily upon every person's heart, leaving them nearly unable to breathe.

In an instant, a dazzling black Saber Light burst into existence, slicing across the sky like lightning. The Saber Light shook the soul, and wherever it passed, piercing shrieks tore through the air.

Anyone caught by the Saber Light was like a fallen leaf swept up by a violent gale, shredded into pieces without the slightest power to resist. Blood splashed in every direction, dyeing the entire altar red.

With only several slashes, he had killed eighty percent of the people on the altar.

Only a dozen or so people lingering at the edge of the altar remained. The moment they saw Blood Saber awaken, they fled from the altar at once, narrowly escaping disaster.

Blood Demon Hand, who had been in the Core Area of the altar, fled at once. One of the Black Cloud Elders, Black Elder, was chopped to pieces on the spot while covering Elder Yun's escape.

The three treasure boxes returned once again to the center of the altar.

Those who had left the altar had trembling legs. That scene had been too terrifying. Not even a Xiantian expert could slaughter so many people so effortlessly.

Was this still within the bounds of humanity?

This was the question winding through the hearts of the survivors. Beyond their doubts, there was only greater fear and despair.

Today, they feared it would be difficult to leave this place alive.

"True Qi Projection—that's a method only Vajra-level experts possess. How the hell are we supposed to fight that?" Blood Demon Hand was shocked and terrified. If that was true, then they had absolutely no way out today.

A Vajra Realm body was as hard as black iron, with astonishing defense.

Since entering the martial world, he had once encountered a Vajra Realm expert. Even a full-force strike from a Xiantian Peak expert could not break through that person's defenses.

Bai Ruoxue of the Hundred Flowers Sect spoke, "Probably not. The Vajra Realm has already begun to transcend the bounds of mortals. Their flesh is like vajra, and they can project True Qi."

"But from what I can see, that is not the case. This person has not reached the Vajra Realm and remains at the Xiantian level. For some unknown reason, he is merely capable of using a Vajra Realm method like True Qi Projection."

"Even so, his strength far surpasses that of ordinary Xiantian experts."

"Besides, Blood Saber King Qi has not revived, nor was he never dead to begin with. He is no longer human..." Chu Jiang spoke at this moment.

"Not human? Don't tell me he's a ghost?"

Chu Jiang's words startled everyone.
