Blood Fiend Palm Manual

Facing Yi Xiaofeng's questioning, the man in black did not answer. The eyes beneath his mask were utterly cold.

His right hand slowly clenched, as though grasping something invisible. Strands of visible bloody aura swirled around his right palm, looking terrifying.

"My purpose is to kill everyone here!"

The man in black said coldly. His voice was icy and devoid of emotion, making it difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

With that, he leaped into the air like a demonic cat and pounced at Yi Xiaofeng.

So fast!

Yi Xiaofeng stumbled backward in fright while activating the talisman paper.

Spiritual power triggered the incantation, and a fireball shot forth.

Unable to evade while descending, the man in black was struck head-on by the Fireball Spell, and blazing flames erupted across his body.

Not far away, Zeng Shu and the fallen Hong Linyu widened their eyes, both thrilled.

He really was an expert!

One move, one kill!

After landing, the man in black struggled frantically, but he could not extinguish the flames covering his body.

Yi Xiaofeng was delighted. The Fireball Spell was this powerful?

The viewers also exploded:

"So huge?"

"I thought it would be a tiny flame. Who knew it would be a massive fireball..."

"It's actually not that big. It just expands rapidly after hitting someone."

"Awesome! Is he about to clear this directly?"

"666, killer OUT, game over!"

"Killer: MMP, I haven't even shown my face yet!"

Under the gaze of countless viewers, the man in black wrapped in flames suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke and dispersed.

The smoke filled the air as an icy, murderous voice rang out. "Just you wait! I'll make your death agonizing!"

As the voice faded, the black smoke completely vanished.

The three of them froze.

A chill crept into their hearts.

Could it really have been a ghost?

Zeng Shu walked over, looked at Hong Linyu, and asked, "Are you all right?"

Hong Linyu gave a bitter smile. "No... I feel like I'm dying..."

What did death feel like?

Ordinary people found it difficult to know.

This was Hong Linyu's first time experiencing it as well. Her smile held more despair than anything else.

The Blood Handprint on her chest grew increasingly red as her blood seeped out.

She could clearly feel her body becoming lighter and lighter, while an indescribable pain continued to intensify.

Zeng Shu fell silent.

Yi Xiaofeng stood nearby and shook his head slightly.

If Zeng Shu stepped in to finish off Hong Linyu, Yi Xiaofeng would have reason to suspect that he was not a righteous cultivator.

With that thought, he turned to leave, intending to find someone to save Hong Linyu.

Saving her brought him no benefit, but at least it would improve his standing with bystanders and make others think he was not a bad person. That would make Tang Yiqian more likely to trust him later.

"Ahhh—"

Hong Linyu suddenly screamed. Her cries were heart-wrenching as she clawed at her face with both hands, looking utterly grotesque.

Yi Xiaofeng and Zeng Shu were both startled.

Then blood began gushing from Hong Linyu's body, a miserable sight so horrific that even Yi Xiaofeng could not bear to look directly at it.

What kind of vicious palm technique was this?

"Hurry up and get someone!" Yi Xiaofeng urged.

Zeng Shu immediately turned and ran off, swiftly leaving the courtyard.

Yi Xiaofeng turned his head away, unwilling to look at Hong Linyu.

The viewers were the same, though this was not the first time they had seen it.

The contestants who had died before had suffered just as miserably, experiencing a fate worse than death before they died.

"No wonder the Alliance launched the show before the Public Beta. This is genuinely scary."

"The pain in the game is the same as in reality, so a game world without legal restraints is very dangerous and can easily cause mental breakdowns."

"This game absolutely can't be played by children."

"This is terrifying. It's only the first scenario. Will there be even more horrifying things later?"

"I suddenly don't want to play anymore."

"It's fine. We just need to stay away from conflict."

While the viewers discussed it, Yi Xiaofeng suddenly noticed a red glow where the man in black had been burned away.

He immediately went over to look. A piece of cloth resembling human skin lay amid the flames. No matter how the fire burned, it could not scorch it.

He stomped on it, putting out the small flames on the ground before picking up the cloth.

That was close. Good thing these flames won't burn me, Yi Xiaofeng thought thankfully.

Perhaps the flames were too small.

He unfolded the cloth and examined it carefully.

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Blood Fiend Palm!

The Blood Palm Sect's ultimate art!

This was the cultivation method for the Blood Fiend Palm.

Yi Xiaofeng looked back and saw that Hong Linyu had already fainted from the pain.

He immediately bent down, took off his shoe, stuffed the Blood Fiend Palm Manual inside, and put it back on.

The Barrage instantly flooded the screen:

"You bastard! He picked up another manual!"

"That hiding technique and reaction speed were way too fast!"

"It's definitely a manual! Damn, his luck is insane!"

"Remember him, his name is Yi Xiaofeng!"

"So... monsters drop equipment?"

"Impressive. I didn't even notice something hidden in those flames."

Not long after Yi Xiaofeng hid it, Zeng Shu returned with a large group of people.

Tang Yiqian and Wang Yanran had come as well.

"Everyone wait outside! No one is allowed to enter!"

Hunter Xu shouted loudly before immediately running to Hong Linyu's side.

His expression abruptly changed. Hong Linyu's eyelids were visibly shriveling inward.

Her eyeballs had melted.

Yi Xiaofeng and Zeng Shu saw it too and were horrified.

So the victims' eyeballs had not been gouged out.

This Blood Handprint was too sinister!

Yet Yi Xiaofeng's heart burned with excitement.

Such a powerful palm technique had to be learned!

Contestant Lin Jiajia has been eliminated!

Lin Jiajia was Hong Linyu's real name.

Yi Xiaofeng was unmoved. After all, this was only a game; she had not truly died.

"What happened earlier?" Hunter Xu turned to Yi Xiaofeng and asked in a low voice.

Before Yi Xiaofeng could answer, Zeng Shu took the lead in explaining for him.

After Zeng Shu finished, Hunter Xu fell silent.

The people outside the stone archway looked at one another.

Tang Yiqian spoke up. "He was indeed the same as the person I encountered. Both wore monkey masks."

Wang Yanran, meanwhile, stared nervously at Yi Xiaofeng.

That gentle, wife-like gaze made him unable to handle it.

"Since that's the case, this is not your fault. Continue searching for clues. I'll have someone take away her body."

Hunter Xu waved dismissively, his tone impatient.

Yi Xiaofeng immediately left, with Zeng Shu close behind.

As he passed Tang Yiqian, she reminded him, "Young Master Zhang, you must be careful. That person will not let this go."

Yi Xiaofeng turned his head toward her and smiled. "The same goes for you, Miss Tang. If you run into any trouble, call for me anytime."

Tang Yiqian nodded.

After the two left, the sky darkened as well.

Night fell, and the City Lord's Mansion became brightly lit.

Yi Xiaofeng and Zeng Shu stopped beneath a large tree and began meditating to rest.

This place was not far from the kitchen courtyard. Many people had gathered outside the kitchen entrance, waiting for dinner.

Yi Xiaofeng had been thinking of finding an opportunity to memorize the Blood Fiend Palm's cultivation method.

That way, even if he was eliminated, he could still cultivate it in reality.

But the Pure Yang Five Swords Technique and the Blood Fiend Palm were not so easy to memorize.

Ever since childhood, Yi Xiaofeng had never been good at studying. Even he found his own memorization ability worrying.

Yi Xiaofeng suddenly heard the sound of pebbles hitting the ground. He opened his eyes and saw Wang Yanran standing behind the archway, waving at him and signaling for him to come over.

In the darkness, that woman looked like a huge black bear, making his heart tremble.
