In the Blink of an Eye, Blood Qi Turned to Silk, Wiping Out Dozens!

Bang.

Shen Ying had just slipped into the passage, chasing after "Benefactor Xu."

Moments later, a red figure flew backward out of the passage and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Lu Changsheng looked closely and saw that it was Shen Ying.

Moreover, a crossbow bolt had struck Shen Ying in the shoulder.

At that moment, dozens of martial artists surged out of the passage.

Each held a crossbow, aiming it at Lu Changsheng, Shen Ying, and the Doctors and pharmacists.

Although Shen Ying was an Organ Refining martial artist, he was injured.

And even at his peak, faced with dozens of martial artists wielding crossbows, unless he wore iron armor like Zhao Xing, who could withstand such a dense barrage of crossbow bolts?

"By the master's order, kill without mercy these thieves who broke into the secret chamber!"

A martial artist shouted loudly.

"Benefactor Xu" had indeed fled.

But while fleeing, "Benefactor Xu" had also issued a death order to these martial artists, telling all the guards to kill Shen Ying, Lu Changsheng, and the others at any cost.

If these martial artists had merely been hired, they certainly would not risk their lives for "Benefactor Xu."

But poison had been planted inside all their bodies. Their lives and deaths were in "Benefactor Xu's" hands, so they could only obey orders.

Even knowing the Black-Clad Man was formidable, they had to grit their teeth and charge!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Crossbow bolts poured toward Lu Changsheng in a dense storm.

Lu Changsheng immediately rolled across the ground, reaching another stone table and overturning it to use as cover.

Shen Ying clutched his wound and retreated into a corner.

But those pharmacists and Doctors who tried to flee were not so fortunate. They were shot down one after another.

Of course, only a small number of pharmacists and Doctors had left the Pill Furnace Room. They had risked trying to escape, only to die now.

Lu Changsheng glanced at those martial artists. There were roughly fifty or sixty of them—a considerable number.

Now that Lu Changsheng was pinned behind the stone table, he did not dare show himself at all.

The moment he exposed himself, he would die.

After all, no matter what realm one reached in the Three Stages of Body Tempering, one was still flesh and blood. There was simply no resisting crossbow bolts.

But he could not remain on the defensive and take a beating forever.

Lu Changsheng looked at the martial artists.

They held the high ground and were quickly moving to encircle him from behind.

Once they reached his rear and surrounded him from all sides, he had only one stone table. There was no way it could block the crossbow bolts.

However, if he wanted to deal with these martial artists, he either had to push forward while carrying the stone table.

But the passage above was narrow. Carrying the stone table, he could not move at all.

Or else, he needed a means of long-range attack.

Yet Lu Changsheng had neither bow nor crossbow. He had no way to deal with those martial artists.

"Long-range attack..."

Lu Changsheng murmured softly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A flash of insight flickered through his mind.

In truth, martial artists could attack from afar.

Martial artists at the Body Tempering level, whether Blood Strengthening, Bone Forging, or Organ Refining, could release their qi and blood outward.

And releasing qi and blood was a long-range means of attack.

It was just that once a martial artist released their qi and blood, it would be consumed very quickly.

Even for an Organ Refining martial artist with abundant qi and blood, once it was released, their qi and blood might be exhausted in a single breath.

Moreover, once qi and blood left the body, its power was greatly diminished. Retaining even one-tenth of its might would already be considered good.

Therefore, no martial artist would use qi and blood release against an enemy.

It was entirely a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet.

And Xu Family Manor had fifty or sixty martial artists armed with crossbows.

Even if he released his qi and blood, how could he deal with so many martial artists?

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and circulated his qi and blood.

Boom.

Lu Changsheng immediately rose to his feet, and his qi and blood surged skyward, manifesting directly above his head.

His vast, surging qi and blood manifested above Lu Changsheng, faintly dyeing the entire Underground Hall blood-red.

Its qi and blood were utterly hard and utterly yang, like blazing flames, raising the temperature in the Underground Hall by several degrees.

The dark, damp Underground Hall even seemed to carry a faint scorching heat.

"What is he doing?"

Many people looked at one another.

Even Shen Ying's eyes were filled with confusion.

Though he was an Organ Refining martial artist, he could not understand Lu Changsheng's intentions at all.

Releasing qi and blood?

Shen Ying shook his head. What use could releasing qi and blood possibly have at a time like this?

It was nothing more than wasting qi and blood.

Yet Lu Changsheng showed no sign of stopping.

On the contrary, the qi and blood within him continued to pour forth at a rapid pace.

Using the qi and blood of an Organ Refining martial artist as the benchmark—

the qi and blood Lu Changsheng manifested was rapidly rising.

Onefold, threefold, fivefold, eightfold, tenfold...

Who could have imagined that the qi and blood manifested by Lu Changsheng was more than ten times that of an ordinary Organ Refining martial artist!

"How can he possess such immense qi and blood?"

Shen Ying was utterly shaken!

That was ten times the qi and blood!

He had never seen an Organ Refining martial artist capable of erupting with ten times the qi and blood.

However, the Xu Family Manor martial artists all began to feel a sense of foreboding.

"Kill him! Kill him now!"

Voices rose one after another.

Crossbow bolts all shot toward Lu Changsheng.

But it was useless. Qi and blood existed somewhere between the tangible and intangible.

Crossbow bolts could not affect qi and blood at all.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng focused all his attention on manifesting every last bit of his qi and blood.

Only by relying on his qi and blood limit, together with having exchanged his blood once, could he unleash more than ten times the qi and blood.

But the consumption of releasing qi and blood was also terrifying.

In such a short span of time, a great deal of his qi and blood had already been consumed.

"Divide!"

Lu Changsheng gave a low shout.

The immense mass of qi and blood above his head split apart in an instant.

Buzz.

The qi and blood split into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand, a thousand into ten thousand...

In the blink of an eye, the immense qi and blood had divided into strands of "silk."

Thousands upon thousands of blood-red silk strands appeared before everyone.

Blood Qi Silk Transformation!

This had originally been an Organ Refining Martial Arts technique cultivated by Lu Changsheng to temper his internal organs.

But Lu Changsheng had released his qi and blood and transformed it into silk.

Since the Qi and Blood Silk could temper internal organs, it naturally possessed a certain degree of force.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng's control over his qi and blood was extraordinarily strong. He wielded every strand of Qi and Blood Silk as easily as his own arm and fingers.

"Go!"

A vast expanse of Qi and Blood Silk shrouded the space above Lu Changsheng's head, forming something like a Blood Cloud and making his presence seem extraordinary.

At once, strands of Qi and Blood Silk shot out like sharp arrows, pouring down upon the Xu Family Manor martial artists and covering the sky and earth.

They were so densely packed that there was nowhere to evade!

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had incorporated the principles of the Instant Kill Technique into the Qi and Blood Silk. Every strand was fast to the extreme!

Boom.

Qi and blood exploded, falling like raindrops upon every Xu Family Manor martial artist in an instant.

Sss, sss, sss.

The "silk" was like arrows!

Strand after strand of Qi and Blood Silk instantly pierced through the martial artists' bodies. They screamed and fell to the ground one after another.

In a single instant, the Qi and Blood Silk erupted, and all fifty or sixty martial artists collapsed at once.

Even those lucky enough not to die were badly wounded after being pierced by the Qi and Blood Silk. They had almost completely lost their ability to fight and could only howl on the ground.

Such a shocking scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Even Shen Ying's mouth hung open, his face filled with disbelief.

As an Organ Refining martial artist himself, Shen Ying understood perfectly how terrifying this move of "releasing qi and blood" was.

If it had been him, releasing his qi and blood might have drained it all in an instant. How could he possibly transform it into silk, much less injure dozens of martial artists in one stroke?

In the blink of an eye, dozens were wiped out!

That terrifying strength even made Shen Ying doubt whether the Black-Clad Man was truly only a Body Tempering martial artist.

Perhaps even someone of the Divine Strength Realm might not have done better than the Black-Clad Man.
