Blood Blade resurrected?

"While they're fighting, go!"

Nearly a hundred people, eyes bloodshot, charged towards the altar simultaneously, hoping to fish in troubled waters.

"Haha, I got it!" The leader of the Poisonous Snake Gang, clutching a purple box amidst the chaos, rejoiced inwardly and immediately prepared to retreat.

With his strength, obtaining this one item was already his limit.

"Seeking death!"

Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan was furious. He was fighting on the front lines against the Black Cloud Elders, and this old fellow was directly raiding his home.

How dare someone who hadn't even reached Xiantian try to snatch treasures from him?

There were three treasure boxes: white, purple, and red. This purple box either contained the Blood Saber Manual or a Third-Grade True Essence Pill. With it, in a few more years, he would be the next Blood Saber.

Thinking of this, his cruel expression intensified.

"Blood Demon Luo Hand!"

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

This was a furious strike from a Xiantian expert. If he were hit, he would surely die without a doubt.

The Poisonous Snake Gang leader immediately exploded with speed, preparing to dodge. However, the Xiantian expert's speed was more than a notch faster than him. He managed to escape with his head, but his right arm was struck on the spot.

Crack!

A sound of bones breaking echoed, followed by the Poisonous Snake Gang leader's agonizing howl.

"Ah..."

The Poisonous Snake Gang leader's face contorted. The pain from his broken bones made him wish he were dead. He thought that with his Half-step Xiantian strength, even if he couldn't defeat a true Xiantian expert, he wouldn't be crushed in an instant.

It seemed he was too naive.

The gap between Houtian and Xiantian was far greater than he had imagined.

The purple treasure box changed hands again, falling into Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan's possession.

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

The Black Cloud Elders were anxious. Seeing the treasure box, which possibly contained a legacy, fall into Blood Demon Hand's grasp, they charged forward again, intending to suppress and snatch it together.

"You two old geezers, who are practically in the grave, think you can take me on?" Lin Shan laughed instead of getting angry. The world only knew him for his fame with the Blood Demon Hand, but they didn't know his true trump card was his escape technique.

If he wanted to escape, even a late-stage Xiantian expert couldn't do anything to him.

The scene descended into chaos. The treasure box changed hands several times, with casualties reaching over thirty people and still climbing.

Chu Jiang stood his ground, not rushing to snatch the treasure. He had a feeling that things were not simple here, that the Blood Saber's legacy was placed so easily before them.

For anyone to take.

Seeing this, Lu Feiyang's eyes gradually turned red, and he quickly urged, "Master Chu, let's go down quickly. If we're late, we won't even get the leftovers."

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

"Sir, something's not right."

Liu Guangwu grabbed Ma Han, noticing he was about to rush onto the altar. Several Demon Hunters were also about to do the same, but he violently snapped them back to their senses.

"There's demonic energy!"

"Demonic?" Liu Guangwu's eyes widened. Although he sensed something was wrong, he hadn't detected any demonic aura.

Besides Chu Jiang, the people from the Hundred Flowers Sect also sensed the anomaly. Bai Ruoxue's delicate eyebrows twitched, and her lips moved as if she were chanting something, causing them to refrain from rushing towards the altar.

Soon, a chill emanated from both of them.

"The Hundred Flowers Sect's Ice Heart Sutra. No wonder these people are unaffected."

"The Ice Heart Sutra has the effect of calming the mind and guarding the soul, capable of resisting the soul-bewitching sounds of demons!"

"That cold-faced woman is likely a core member of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and the younger one is also not simple."

Liu Guangwu spoke.

Chu Jiang's eyes flickered. The Hundred Flowers Sect was once the seventh-largest sect in Annan Commandery, with several Vajra Realm experts. Even though they had declined, such methods were not surprising.

But how could Liu Guangwu, a mere captain from Baishi County, resist this strange allure? Even Xiantian experts were being affected.

It seemed the waters in Baishi County ran deep, hiding secrets he was unaware of.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

The corpse of Blood Saber King Qi in the center of the altar suddenly stood up.

Its eyes were hollow, and it emanated a strange aura.

Neither human nor demon.

"A ghost! Run!"

Seeing Blood Saber King Qi awaken, everyone's faces were filled with horror.

The heavy aura pressed down, making it difficult to breathe.

"Didn't Blood Saber King Qi die? Why do I feel like he's alive again?"

"Could he have already broken through to the Vajra Realm!"

As they ran, everyone thought about Blood Saber King Qi. Back in the day, he was a ruthless character who dominated the region, capable of killing Vajra Realm experts even while still in the Xiantian Realm.

A battle-hardened expert forged in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he killed without batting an eye.

Now, he had awakened.

Seeing them trying to steal his things, they were as good as dead.

"Since you're here, you can all stay!"

Blood Saber King Qi's voice was deep and resonant. A powerful pressure bore down heavily on everyone's hearts, making it almost impossible to breathe.

In an instant, a dazzling black saber energy erupted, streaking across the sky like lightning. This saber energy was soul-stirring, and where it passed, the air let out piercing shrieks.

Anyone caught in the saber energy's wake was torn to shreds like leaves caught in a gale, with no power to resist. Blood splashed everywhere, dyeing the entire altar red.

In just a few strikes, eighty percent of the people on the altar were killed.

Only a dozen or so people lingering at the edge of the altar remained. As soon as they saw Blood Saber awaken, they fled the altar immediately, thus escaping death.

Blood Demon Hand, who was in the core area of the altar, fled. Black Elder, one of the Black Cloud Elders, was shattered on the spot while covering Elder Yun's escape.

The three Treasure Boxes returned to the center of the altar once more.

Those who had left the altar trembled in their legs. The scene was too terrifying; even a Xiantian expert couldn't have easily killed so many people.

Was this still within the realm of humans?

This was the question swirling in the minds of the survivors, and besides the question, there was more fear and despair.

They feared they wouldn't make it out alive today.

"True Qi Projection—that's a technique only Vajra Realm experts possess. What the hell are we supposed to fight with this?" Blood Demon Hand was both shocked and terrified. If that was truly the case, they had no hope of survival today.

The Vajra Realm's physical bodies were as hard as black iron, with astonishing defensive capabilities.

In all his years, he had encountered a Vajra Realm expert before; even a full-power strike from a peak Xiantian expert couldn't break through their defenses.

Bai Ruoxue of the Hundred Flowers Sect spoke, "It shouldn't be. The Vajra Realm has already begun to transcend the mortal realm, with bodies like vajras and True Qi Projection."

"However, observing him, it doesn't seem so. His realm isn't Vajra; he's still at the Xiantian level, but for some unknown reason, he can perform the Vajra technique of True Qi Projection."

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

"Moreover, Blood Saber King Qi didn't revive, nor has he been alive all along. He is no longer human..." Chu Jiang spoke at this moment.

"Not human? Could he be a ghost?"

Chu Jiang's words startled everyone.
