Shi Yan asked knowingly, aware the target was right in front of him, and was simultaneously shocked.
The pressure from the Black Robe was immense, their Blood Essence like a vast lake.
For Warriors, the Blood Essence range for First Order was 10 to 99; Second Order was 100 to 499; Third Order was 500 to 999.
At Fourth Order, bones began to transform, Blood Essence broke through the 1000 mark, reaching a maximum of 5000.
The person before him had incredibly solidified Blood Essence, making him feel as if he were submerged in thick liquid.
They had clearly surpassed the Fourth Order Master realm and reached the Fifth Order Grandmaster realm, where blood began to transform.
And possibly not just at the beginning of Fifth Order.
As for how far, Shi Yan didn't know; his own realm was far too low.
He only knew the other party could easily crush him, as a Fifth Order Grandmaster's Blood Essence was at least 5000, and they could kill him with a single finger.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you have now become my bargaining chip."
The Black Robe let out a cackling laugh and reached for Shi Yan with their withered hand.
As they attacked, a nauseatingly bloody stench permeated the air.
Just like Zhang Yunya's previous attack, Shi Yan was now unable to move.
Although he knew someone was protecting him from the shadows, the feeling of helplessness at this moment was amplified infinitely.
The thought of becoming a top-tier Warrior instantly filled his mind.
"You're asking for death!"
Just as the withered claws were three feet away from Shi Yan, a cold snort echoed.
Then came the sound of air being torn apart, and a giant axe the size of a door panel descended five feet in front of Shi Yan.
With a single swing, the axe naturally didn't hit the Black Robe.
Judging by their aura, the Black Robe's was even more potent than Zhang Yunya's, so it was impossible to kill them in one move.
However, the Pig Demon corpse on the ground was split in half.
To Shi Yan's surprise, the axe blade precisely split the Pig Demon's corpse and didn't go any further.
The control over the force was simply incredible.
Especially considering the giant axe was thrown.
Thinking back to when he had plunged the Lava Spirit Devouring Saber into the ground, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Zhang Yunya, you really are a persistent shadow."
More than ten meters away, the Black Robe's figure reappeared, their eyes filled with malice as they looked at Zhang Yunya.
"Don't think you can deal with me just because you killed my two brothers."
"Oh? Then why did you run?"
Zhang Yunya had already raised her giant axe and signaled Shi Yan to retreat.
Unexpectedly, the Black Robe acted dishonorably, summoning a ball of dark green energy and hurling it at Shi Yan.
Zhang Yunya's expression changed, and she had no choice but to stop her advance and block the attack for Shi Yan.
The terrifying energy surged outwards. Even with Zhang Yunya's block, Shi Yan was still hit by the residual shockwave, sent flying through the air, and his saber dropped to the ground.
He only slid down from a large tree after crashing into it.
Fortunately, it was only the aftershock, and after the transformation during the College Entrance Examination, his body had become much stronger. This attack only caused his Blood Essence to churn slightly.
"Watch carefully, concentrate and sense the energy fluctuations from them."
Shi Yan grunted as he got up, and Lin Ye's voice reached his ears.
His voice was heard, but his person was unseen.
Shi Yan nodded imperceptibly and watched the unfolding scene.
Then, he saw Zhang Yunya, who had blocked the attack for him, raise her axe to block.
Sparks flew as a dagger was repelled.
"The attack on you was a feint; the real target was to ambush Zhang Yunya."
Lin Ye's voice sounded at the opportune moment.
"Lei Ku is at the peak of Fifth Order, his Blood Essence exceeding 9000. Zhang Yunya is in the late Fifth Order. If he successfully ambushes her, her movements will be affected."
In the blink of an eye, after blocking the sneak attack, Zhang Yunya swung her giant axe at the Black Robe.
As the powerful energy surged, a ten-meter-long axe blade cut through the air, splitting the earth and shattering stones, as if to cleave the dark night.
Lei Ku was startled and quickly dodged to the side.
He didn't dare to face this strike head-on.
At the same time, Shi Yan, who was nearby, sensed that the moment Zhang Yunya swung her axe, her Blood Essence fluctuation was incredibly strong, even showing signs of surpassing Lei Ku.
Lei Ku's evasion was also simple and brutal; he channeled Blood Essence into his legs and moved sideways.
"Zhang Yunya's Supernatural Ability is Blood Essence amplification. Within the same major tier, few dare to confront her head-on," Lin Ye's voice sounded again. "Lei Ku possesses the 'Poison Wolf' Supernatural Ability, excelling in speed and poison. He has already escaped from Zhang Yunya twice."
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
Shi Yan's heart stirred with surprise upon hearing this.
A peak Fifth Order fighter against a late Fifth Order, and the word "escape" was used. Furthermore, his two brothers were killed.
Just how strong is this Senior?
While he was contemplating, the battle between the two in the arena reignited.
Zhang Yunya pressed her advantage relentlessly, her axe blade cleaving out one strike after another as if her Blood Essence were inexhaustible.
Lei Ku, relying on his speed, continuously dodged.
It wasn't until his Blood Essence was severely depleted and Lei Ku's arm was torn by a piece of flesh that this "drawn-out battle" finally came to a halt.
Even with a Fifth Order cultivation, one couldn't sustain continuous, high-intensity use of Blood Essence.
"Heh heh, it's been a month, and you haven't improved one bit."
Lei Ku chuckled sinisterly, unconcerned about the minor wound on his arm.
Zhang Yunya's consumption was greater than his, and her Blood Essence was weaker. He wasn't afraid of a battle of attrition.
"If you have the guts, don't dodge!" Zhang Yunya's heaving chest rose and fell, her right hand holding the axe trembling slightly.
"Dodge? No, now I'm going to take your life!"
Seeing Zhang Yunya in a poor state, Lei Ku grew bolder.
A pair of dark green daggers instantly appeared in his hands, and he charged forward like an illusion.
He had expected Zhang Yunya to dodge, but as he closed in, she not only didn't dodge but also revealed a smile.
Lei Ku's heart cried out that something was wrong. Almost instinctively, he tried to retreat, but at that moment, Zhang Yunya flicked her finger. With a "boom," a fierce flame erupted from the ground, blocking his escape route.
The high temperature seemed capable of incinerating everything around it.
With no other choice, Lei Ku had to move to the side rapidly, just as he had before.
But this decision made him instantly regret it.
The axe blade, which had been waiting, swept across, and Lei Ku's body was severed at the waist, his screams echoing through the dark night.
Lei Ku's eyes were filled with madness as he attempted a final counterattack. Unfortunately, his severed body no longer obeyed him, and Zhang Yunya quickly retreated, making him unable to reach her.
In the end, he could only die amidst endless resentment.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunya let out a long sigh and then, without any regard for her image, sat down on the ground.
"Finally dead. Such a pity for those dozens of vengeful souls."
"Senior, you're awesome!"
Shi Yan picked up his saber and walked towards Zhang Yunya.
He hadn't expected that his saber would be the one to achieve such a great feat.
Just now, Zhang Yunya had flicked a small black object, and the target was his saber.
Only when the black bead touched the Lava Spirit Devouring Saber did that burst of intense fire erupt.
"This is the battle between Warriors, full of danger, but also filled with opportunities," Lin Ye said to Shi Yan as he descended from the sky.
"Realm, Supernatural Abilities, Blood Essence, and the like are the foundation of combat. Utilizing various things, even the environment, is the wisdom of a Warrior's fight."
As he spoke, he walked towards Lei Ku's corpse and began to rummage through it.
Lei Ku and his two brothers were wanted criminals on the Monster Suppression Bureau's wanted list, and Zhang Yunya had accepted the bounty.
Now that the last of the Lei Ku brothers had been apprehended, the bounty mission was considered complete.
With Lin Ye present, Zhang Yunya could be exempted from the step of verifying the kill.
After resting for a while, dawn pierced the darkness, and a new day arrived.
By the time Zhang Yunya recovered from her sweat-soaked state to her youthful and vibrant appearance, the morning sun was already shining upon the earth.
Shi Yan once again got into Zhang Yunya's sports car. Lin Ye had already flown into the sky with Lei Ku's corpse and then disappeared.
"Senior, thank you. This night has been very rewarding for me," Shi Yan said sincerely after the sports car started moving.
He had earned over a thousand Martial Virtue Points, and his understanding of powerful Warriors had also greatly improved. It was a double blessing.
"Junior Student Brother, I should be thanking you. And you also startled me."
Zhang Yunya was now pleasantly surprised. When she received the call from her teacher, she thought her teacher's words were a bit exaggerated.
After all, she often... occasionally acted unconventionally, and her teacher would emphasize things when giving instructions.
But after observing Shi Yan for an entire night, she felt that her teacher's assessment had been conservative.
For example, the information she received was "saber technique beginner," but in reality, Shi Yan's saber technique was like that of an experienced veteran who had practiced for over a decade; for another, it was "Blood Essence in the thirties," but the strength with which Shi Yan had killed a bear demon with a single palm strike suggested a Blood Essence of at least fifty or more.
This was already impressive enough, but Shi Yan's courage and eagerness to learn completely filled her with surprise.
This was a genius one couldn't find even with a lantern, someone who absolutely had to be invited to Magic Martial University.
As she was thinking this, Shi Yan's phone rang.
"Hello, Principal... I'm on my way back."
It was the principal of Baiyun No. 1 High School, saying someone from a prestigious school was waiting for him at the school.
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon... What, I get a ten-million scholarship just for enrolling at Tianfu Martial School!?"
