Transforming Strength!

"Lord, it's time to go..."

Two figures stood behind the bare-chested man. The one in front was cloaked in black, his face also covered by black cloth, leaving only his eyes visible.

Behind the black-robed man was a graceful figure in black combat attire – it was Yin He.

Yin He lowered her gaze, her eyes fixed on the ground as if something fascinating lay there, daring not to look up at the man in front of her.

The bare-chested man turned his head slightly, revealing his face.

His mouth was full of sharp teeth, unlike a human's, stretched into a grin that reached his ears, with bloodstains clinging to his teeth.

His eyes were a dark red, and his muscles were streamlined, devoid of any bulk yet radiating power.

The bare-chested man narrowed his eyes and said, "A mere Class B city, and you can't even handle it?"

"Reporting to you, Lord, the Master said..."

"Get lost! Don't try to pressure me with that old geezer!"

"Yes... Yes!"

An invisible wave of energy spread outwards, bending the surrounding plants to their knees.

"Why is there no movement at all within Haiyuan City?"

"Reporting to you, Lord, it's... unexpected..."

If it weren't for Shi Wu and his useless lackeys being dealt with by Wenzhao's contingency plan while they were dealing with Jiang Yuan, and the spy from the Fengxing Family mysteriously disappearing, how could it appear that there was no movement at all?

Even the few Blood Feast Ghost Infants he painstakingly refined had inexplicably vanished.

This Haiyuan City was truly bizarre!

The black-robed man sighed inwardly, but outwardly, he feigned extreme fear.

"Hmph, it's fortunate you encountered me. If those other fools had come, they might have blamed you."

The bare-chested man pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth. His emotions stabilized, and he spoke calmly.

The black-robed man cursed inwardly. This is a stealth mission. As long as I haven't been exposed, I've done nothing wrong. What right do you have to punish me!

And this Lord Azure Fang has no brains at all. He only knows how to charge headfirst into missions. I don't even know why he's in Haiyuan City. This is going to be trouble for me...

The black-robed man said respectfully, "Lord, we should leave, or the experts in the city will know what happened here."

"Let's go. The humans of Haiyuan City, this is all they taste like... Hmph..."

The three slowly departed. Along the way, they saw the brutally murdered Wang family members.

Some had their eyes gouged out, lying on the ground. Others had their organs removed, their bodies hanging from trees.

And all of this was the work of this Lord Azure Fang.

No one knew what his purpose was in doing this.

Yin He looked at the ground, a trace of unbearable pain appearing in her eyes.

The Wang family was considered a second-rate power in Haiyuan City. Old Ancestor Wang was someone who was only a step away from breaking through to the Blood Force realm, and within the Internal Force realm, he was almost unrivaled.

However, he couldn't last more than a few rounds against Azure Fang.

Yin He sighed inwardly, but her face showed no outward emotion. She followed closely behind the black-robed man.

"Yo, this chick is good..."

Yin He suddenly stiffened, a chill coursing down from the crown of her head.

Her pupils contracted slightly as she looked down at a pair of feet that had appeared in front of her.

"Black Tiger, is this one of the Blood Servants you took in Haiyuan City? She seems to have decent potential."

A scorching heat approached Yin He, and she stood frozen, unable to move.

Azure Fang leaned in front of Yin He, his nose twitching as if he were sniffing the scent on her.

A hint of greed appeared in Azure Fang's eyes, and he muttered, "Such tender flesh, it must taste delicious..."

As he spoke, two strands of saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth.

"Lord!" Just as Yin He lost the ability to think, she was pulled back and shielded behind a figure.

It was the black-robed man, also known as Black Tiger.

Black Tiger shielded Yin He behind him, bowing slightly forward. He said respectfully, "Lord, Yin He is a crucial part of the infiltration plan! I implore you to consider the bigger picture!"

Azure Fang stared at Black Tiger, something seeming to awaken in his eyes.

Beneath Black Tiger's robe, sweat poured down. He was already regretting it. Why did I protect this subordinate of mine? Just because she speaks nicely and is the first Blood Servant I took in?

"Bold Abnormality! How dare you cause chaos in Haiyuan City!" A thunderous roar shook the heavens.

Azure Fang's expression changed slightly.

"Blood Force Grandmaster! And more than one. Let's go!"

Black energy emanated from Azure Fang, enveloping the other two. Soon, they vanished from the spot.

At this moment, a gaunt figure appeared at the scene. He looked at the tragic state of the surroundings with fury. Thick Blood Force suddenly appeared on his body, extending like tentacles and wildly lashing out at the void, as if expressing the rage of its owner.

"Damn Abnormality!"

Then, three more powerful auras arrived.

His Qi and Blood were immense, constantly circulating, and a barrier was easily pushed aside.

His Qi and Blood broke through the limitations, a special power was born from the Qi and Blood, and it quickly filled every part of his body.

Internal Force!

Under the cleansing of the Internal Force, Jiang Yuan could feel impurities being expelled from his body bit by bit. The Internal Force transformed into a vast net, covering Jiang Yuan's entire body. Through the Internal Force, Jiang Yuan could sense every inch of himself.

The Internal Force was helping him, mastering his own body!

Jiang Yuan could feel that his control over every part of his body had greatly increased.

Except... there were twenty strange lines on his body that the Internal Force could not enter.

These were... the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Regular Meridians!

These were also the twenty meridians that needed to be opened for the first realm of Hua Jin, the Body Thorough Realm.

Once these twenty meridians were opened, the Internal Force would completely flow through the entire body, which was the so-called Body Thorough Realm.

Jiang Yuan felt his Qi and Blood acting as a hotbed for the Internal Force, constantly converting into robust Internal Force.

What Jiang Yuan found a little strange was that the Qi and Blood in his body were still increasing, and the source of this Qi and Blood was the Exotic Bone in his chest.

Jiang Yuan subconsciously stimulated the Exotic Bone in his chest with his Internal Force.

Immediately, a massive surge of Qi and Blood erupted from the Exotic Bone and flowed through Jiang Yuan's body.

Jiang Yuan's depleted Qi and Blood were instantly restored.

In the Internal Force Realm, Qi and Blood were slightly higher than in the Blood Qi Realm. This was due to the reverse conversion of Internal Force, but not by much; the Internal Force was the primary focus in Hua Jin.

However, Jiang Yuan's Qi and Blood were now increasing on their own, not relying on the Internal Force, much like how the Blood Qi Realm enhanced Qi and Blood.

The next second, the power of the Exotic Bone, that flame-like power, instantly ignited Jiang Yuan's Internal Force.

At the same time, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

Two patterns on the back of Jiang Yuan's right hand suddenly appeared. Star Power inexplicably emerged from these patterns, surging towards Jiang Yuan's Internal Force.

The flame-like power of the Exotic Bone and the Star Power that had suddenly appeared on Jiang Yuan's body began to intertwine.

They were actually...

Cleansing the Internal Force in Jiang Yuan's body!
