Wang Yuan slowly turned his head back.

His icy gaze settled once more on the two Gao Family Disciples and Ye Family disciples, who looked as though they were facing a deadly enemy.

"The ones I'm killing are people from your Three Great Families."

Before his words had even faded, Wang Yuan moved!

The immense vitality and blood of his Second Blood Change erupted with a boom. The ground beneath his feet cracked apart as he surged forward like a phantom.

"Mountain Breaking Spear TechniqueCloud Break!"

Wang Yuan let out a low roar.

A point of cold light condensed at the tip of his spear. Moving at the very limit of speed, it shot straight for the Gao Family Disciple's throat.

The spear wind was razor-sharp, even producing a shrill howl.

"Such nerve!"

The Gao Family Disciple was shocked and enraged. In haste, he raised his sword to block, vitality and blood flooding into the blade and causing it to gleam faintly.

As a disciple of one of the Three Great Families, he believed his cultivation technique and martial skills were both first-rate.

With two against one, taking down his opponent should have been no problem.

Clang!

Spear and sword collided once more!

But this time, Wang Yuan held nothing back.

To ensure nothing went wrong, he had even activated the Blood Burning Technique.

The terrifying strength granted by Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone, combined with the vitality and blood of the Second Blood Change

Along with the faint yet fierce boost brought by the introductory stage of the Vajra Skill—all of it was poured into this strike.

Crack!

That fine-quality longsword was forcibly snapped apart by the Black Dragon Spear.

The spear tip slowed slightly.

Yet it still carried unmatched force as it instantly pierced through the Gao Family Disciple's throat.

"Urgh..."

The Gao Family Disciple's eyes bulged wide, his face filled with horror and unwillingness.

He seemed unable to believe that he would die so easily at the hands of a nobody.

The broken sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his body crumpled limply after it.

Everything had happened in the span of a spark!

The Ye Family disciple beside him had not even had time to react properly before he saw his companion already dead.

Terrified out of his wits, he shrieked and turned to flee, shouting, "You dare kill people from the Three Great Families! You're dead—"

Shhk!

Another black spear-shadow flashed past!

"You're this weak, yet you still have so much nonsense to say!"

The fierce and domineering Black Dragon Spear spun deftly before sweeping sideways.

"Mountain Breaking Spear TechniqueMountain Collapse"!

The heavy spear shaft, carrying the earth-shattering force of collapsing mountains and shattered stone, viciously struck the Ye Family disciple in the back.

Pfft!

The Ye Family disciple was like someone struck by a charging savage bull. Blood sprayed wildly from his mouth, while his spine let out a teeth-grinding crunch as it shattered.

His entire body flew forward and slammed into a large tree. Every sinew and bone was crushed, and he died on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the two Second Blood Change disciples of the Three Great Families had become two corpses that still retained a trace of warmth.

The wild forest fell into utter silence.

Only the rustle of wind through the leaves remained, while the thick stench of blood spread through the air.

Wang Yuan maintained his sweeping stance, the boiling vitality and blood around him gradually calming.

The scorching sensation brought by the Blood Burning Technique also slowly faded.

Looking at the two nearly pulverized corpses on the ground, he himself stood there blankly.

"Weren't these two... elite disciples from great families?"

"How... could they not even block a single strike from me?"

He had been prepared for a bitter battle, even for injury. He had even used the Blood Burning Technique, yet... that was it?

Zhang Mingyuan and his cousin stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before them, as though they were trapped in a dream.

They knew Wang Yuan was exceptionally gifted, his strength advancing at a breakneck pace.

Yet they had never imagined that he would be this overwhelmingly powerful!

Killing a Second Blood Change warrior was as easy as chopping melons and slicing vegetables.

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

Zhang Mingyuan clearly remembered that less than two months ago, when he had first met Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan had only just broken through to the First Blood Change.

How long had it even been?

And he could already kill a Second Blood Change warrior with a casual flick of his hand?

This cultivation speed was simply unheard-of and horrifying!

Wang Yuan slowly withdrew his spear. Blood dripped from the tip of the Black Dragon Spear, spreading into small dark-red stains upon the soil.

He quickly recovered from his shock. This was no time to stand around in a daze.

He swiftly walked over to the two corpses and began searching them expressionlessly, finding some silver, a few scattered Pills, and identity tokens.

Then Wang Yuan took a small porcelain bottle from his robes, pulled out the stopper, and carefully dripped the pungent Bone Dissolving Water inside onto the corpses and bloodstains.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

White smoke rose as the corpses and bloodstains rapidly dissolved.

Only after finishing all this did Wang Yuan turn to Zhang Mingyuan, who was still reeling in shock, and ask in a low voice:

"Brother Zhang, we can talk later."

"First, tell me—where is my elder sister, Wang Yu, now?"

"Is she in the Zhang Family residence?"

Zhang Mingyuan was jolted awake by Wang Yuan's words and forcibly suppressed the terror in his heart.

A heavy, guilty expression appeared on his face. After pondering for a moment, he said hoarsely:

"Brother Wang, at noon today, the Three Great Families suddenly made their move and besieged the Zhang Family. Chaos erupted throughout the residence in an instant."

"The situation was critical. To avoid dragging innocent people into it, the family head ordered that most of the servants and attendants be dismissed on the spot, so they could each flee for their lives."

"Miss Wang Yu... should have been among them."

He paused, his tone becoming even heavier:

"But... the Three Great Families had clearly prepared in advance. They have likely already laid a net across heaven and earth outside the city."

"Whether those dismissed servants could truly escape... is hard to say."

"As far as I know, quite a few scattered servants have already been captured by members of the Three Great Families."

"By now... they have likely all been thrown into prison and are being interrogated one by one, with the Three Great Families trying to force out the Zhang Family's secrets and... the whereabouts of the Black Tai Sui."

With every word from Zhang Mingyuan, Wang Yuan's heart sank deeper.

His sister might have escaped amid the chaos, but the greater possibility was that she had been captured and thrown into prison!

Wang Yuan nodded again, his gaze sweeping over their surroundings. "This is no place to linger. Let's leave first."

He knew full well that after killing members of the Gao and Ye Families, the enmity between them had been completely sealed.

But since he had done it, there was no room for regret.

The most urgent matter was to leave this land of trouble as quickly as possible.

And... find out exactly what that Black Tai Sui was.

For it to make the Three Great Families go to such lengths, even resorting to framing others and exterminating entire households!

Wang Yuan swiftly finished dealing with the scene. Just as the three of them prepared to leave this blood-soaked place, every hair on his body suddenly stood on end.

Wang Yuan abruptly looked up.

In the forest clearing not far ahead, moonlight spilled across the ground like liquid mercury.

A figure had somehow appeared there soundlessly at some unknown time.

Dressed in plain green robes, her face bare, her eyes as cold as a ten-thousand-year frozen pool—it was Huang Yao, whom they had encountered that morning!

Her indifferent gaze swept over the two corpses on the ground, their features already ruined beyond recognition by the Bone Dissolving Water.

Then she looked at Wang Yuan's group, who stood ready for battle as though facing a great enemy.

Her face remained expressionless as two icy words slipped softly from her thin lips:

"Trash."

Clearly, she was judging the two disciples of the Gao and Ye Families who had been killed so effortlessly.

The moment Zhang Mingyuan and his paternal granduncle saw Huang Yao appear, their faces turned white as paper, their eyes filled with despair.

Zhang Mingyuan's lips trembled as he muttered to himself, his voice steeped in endless bitterness:

"Of course... of course they wouldn't send only two Second Blood Change disciples to hunt us down."

"The Strength-Entering martial masters have all been desperately tied down by Father and several clan elders."

"But against little shrimps like us, sending a Third Blood Change... is already more than enough. It's even... giving us too much credit..."

Third Blood Change!

And she was Huang Yao, known as Mother Yaksha. Her strength was likely even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Third Blood Change.

Wang Yuan's heart sank to the very bottom.

He had just experienced Huang Yao's terror that morning. She was absolutely an existence far beyond an ordinary Third Blood Change.

Her strength was also in no way comparable to those two worthless fakes from before!

He tightened his grip on the Black Dragon Spear. His qi and blood surged madly within him, his Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone taut to the utmost limit.

That faint trace of Vajra Strength condensed by the Vajra Skill was also poised to strike.

Even the Blood Burning Technique hovered at the brink of being activated again at any moment.

Wang Yuan knew that this time, he had truly encountered a life-and-death trial!
