Blood Essence Externalization

As soon as Song Ding made his move, it was a killing blow!

At this moment, he didn't dare to be careless, striving to kill Yang Qingyun with a single strike!

Even though more than a month ago, During the battle at the city gate, he was defeated by Hall Master Feng of the Sifang Society in three moves.

But this didn't mean he was weak!

As early as five years ago, the opponent had already broken through to the Viscera Refining Realm, eventually becoming the Vice Leader of the Black Tiger Gang, holding considerable power.

After years of honing, although he hadn't advanced to mid-Body Tempering, his strength was undoubtedly among the top in Huangshi Town!

His strength was even a level above the Golden-Eyed Leopard on Black Wind Mountain!

A sinister smile appeared on Song Ding's face, As if he could already see the scene of Yang Qingyun's neck being snapped by his claw!

However, A fair hand, like a calf's horn, changed subtly, and in an instant, it shattered his fierce, torrential momentum, passing directly through the claw shadows and precisely gripping his wrist!

At the same time, a strange force transmitted through Yang Qingyun's palm, instantly dispersing the power of Song Ding's grab!

In an instant, Song Ding felt as if his palm had hit a wall, unable to advance an inch!

"What?!"

Song Ding's expression changed, his pupils suddenly shrinking to the size of needle points.

He suddenly realized, This young brat in front of him was probably not as simple as he appeared!

In his panic, disregarding everything else, Song Ding stepped forward, lunging in, and with his left hand, he threw a punch, unleashing the full power of the Viscera Refining Realm, carrying a sharp fist wind straight towards Yang Qingyun's head!

With the fist strength of a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist, exceeding thirty thousand jin, if this punch landed, even a giant rock would likely be shattered, let alone a human body!

He intended to attack as defense, to advance as retreat, hoping to force Yang Qingyun back.

However, Bang!

Almost as before, Song Ding's fist was steadily caught in Yang Qingyun's hand, his Blood Essence power strangely dispersed by the grip!

At this moment, Song Ding's entire face finally changed drastically, a look of disbelief on his face!

If being caught in the previous move was an accident, Then if this punch was also easily caught, and he still thought this young brat was just lucky, he'd be an idiot with no brains!

"You, how is that possible?!"

Both Song Ding's claw and fist were caught, and it was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head.

He had originally thought, That dealing with a mere Entering Realm brat this time would be a piece of cake.

But what was happening now?!

Song Ding was utterly shocked!

Yang Qingyun did not answer.

Bang!

Almost at the same time, a leg swept out like an iron whip, its immense power surging like a torrent, heavily striking Song Ding's chest, which was pale with shock. The immense force hit his body, sending him flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall behind him, blasting a large hole in it. Dust and smoke billowed everywhere!

At the same time, The Black Tiger Gang underlings who had come with him all showed undisguised shock!

Their Gang Leader Song was the second strongest expert in the gang, A martial artist of the Viscera Refining Realm!

How could this be!

Some, in their terror, couldn't help but step back.

But there were also a few brave souls who shouted, "Protect the Gang Leader!" and charged forward with their sabers.

Yang Qingyun didn't dodge at all. He reached out his palm to meet the blade edge, then twisted his wrist, slicing into one of the blades. With a surge of force, the power was dispersed. The Black Tiger Gang underling felt his arm go numb, his wrist loosened, and the long saber fell into Yang Qingyun's hand.

Then, the long saber flashed through the air like lightning. A line of brilliant blade light cut a circular arc through the air.

A sky full of blood splattered. Several figures spurted blood, clutching their necks as they flew backward.

"Black Tiger Gang Vice Leader Song Ding?"

"I heard your Black Tiger Gang is negotiating with the Sifang Society in the town square. What are you doing here?"

Yang Qingyun, holding a blood-stained long saber, slowly walked towards Song Ding.

The surrounding Black Tiger Gang thugs retreated in terror, their footsteps trembling, not daring to obstruct him.

"Could it be that your Gang Leader Shi Meng has some trump card, confident that he can definitely deal with Hall Master Feng of the Sifang Society?"

A flash of light flickered in Yang Qingyun's eyes, and a possibility crossed his mind.

"You bunch of trash, attack!"

Song Ding, who was just crawling out of the rubble and bricks, clutching his chest, didn't answer Yang Qingyun. He looked at the approaching Yang Qingyun in terror and roared at the retreating Black Tiger Gang thugs around him.

"Take this person's head, and I'll reward you with a thousand taels!"

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Under Song Ding's coercion, the surrounding Black Tiger Gang thugs could only brace themselves and charge forward.

Seeing this, Song Ding stomped his feet, turning into an afterimage, and retreated rapidly like a gust of wind!

He actually used the opportunity of his subordinates attacking to escape!

The strength Yang Qingyun displayed was too terrifying.

After two exchanges, He had lost all will to resist!

"Think you can escape?"

Yang Qingyun lightly exhaled.

Holding the long saber he had snatched from a thug, a wisp of condensed, unscattered Blood Essence began to cling to the cold blade!

Blood Essence externalization!

This was something only a Blood Changing Realm martial artist, or some powerful late Viscera Refining Realm martial artists, could barely achieve. Yet, here it was, displayed by Yang Qingyun, who was merely at the Peak of the Entering Realm!

"These past few days, I've been tempering my internal Blood Essence, honing my inner blade intent, and combining it with my previous life's Viscera Refining realm. My strength has advanced again, and I've also developed some minor techniques."

"Then I'll use you to test the power of my new technique!"

Yang Qingyun thought to himself.

Immediately, Swish!

Yang Qingyun threw out his long saber. The blade tore through the air, drawing a bloody lightning bolt across the sky as it charged towards the fleeing Song Ding!

Due to the power of the combined Blood Essence and honed blade intent attached to it, It had even reached a level where the Blood Essence could be externalized and remain undissipated, a feat only achievable by Viscera Refining Realm martial artists, imbuing the saber with terrifying lethality!

Amidst a sharp whistling sound, Song Ding looked back in horror.

It was as if the entire world had fallen silent at that moment. The bloody light, like a surging torrent, tore through everything!

In that instant, The terrifying "momentum" struck deep into his soul, rendering him unable to move or dodge!

"Not good!!!"

Song Ding roared in terror, activating all his Blood Essence and crossing his arms in front of him to block!

With the hardened body of a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist, ordinary swords and sabers could barely injure him.

But this saber, Was no ordinary attack!

Chii!

The fusion of condensed blade intent and Blood Essence power gave it unimaginable lethality!

Song Ding's defense of hardened body, formed by his concentrated Blood Essence, was easily broken. He was sent flying by the saber, impaled on a large rock several yards away.

Seeing this, the remaining Black Tiger Gang thugs had no courage to stay where they were!

They all fearfully threw down their weapons and fled in all directions.

Yang Qingyun did not pursue.

He looked up in the direction of the town center. There, a surge of power erupted, and a slight tremor could be felt from the ground.

"It seems the Black Tiger Gang indeed had a backup plan…"

Yang Qingyun's expression shifted.

"I wonder how Brother Zhou is doing…"

"Forget it, I'll go take a look. Hmph, I was peacefully cultivating here, and they sent people to kill me for no reason?"

"If I don't get revenge for this, my mind won't be at peace!"

With a cold snort, Yang Qingyun moved with a few leaps, gliding towards the town center.
