One Punch, Xuan Wang Gravely Wounded!

Li Yan knew perfectly well that those disciples had all been abducted by Xuan Wang and Xuan Sha.

Killing those disciples was no more than an itch to the two old ghosts.

On the surface, the two old ghosts were cursing Li Yan, but in truth, they were using provocation to lure him into revealing himself.

On the other hand, if he could make those two old ghosts suffer a little...

With his mind racing, Li Yan looked at Su Mo, the corpse puppet following at his side.

"Come, drip some Dead Embryo Blood into the shadow beneath my feet."

She did not hesitate in the slightest at Li Yan's command!

The fairy-like woman raised an arm, her long nails lightly slicing across her skin. Beads of blood dripped down her smooth, tender flesh.

Drip, drip.

Several drops of blood fell onto Li Yan's shadow, and he immediately formed a hand seal, drawing the Dead Embryo Blood into it.

The blood-stained shadow raced across the ground and, in the blink of an eye, appeared behind Old Daoist Xuanwang.

The old ghost and his Senior Brother were still warily watching the mist, secretly transmitting their voices.

"Where did that traitorous disciple get this Golden Body Dharma Aspect? How did it appear beside us without a sound?"

Senior Brother Xuan Sha frowned deeply. "He must have picked up some treasure in Broken Sword Valley. We absolutely cannot let him leave alive!"

"That goes without saying! Those treasures were clearly mine!"

Xuan Wang's expression grew increasingly vicious, his voice full of venom. "If I hadn't brought you, you traitorous disciple, back to Jingxu Temple, you would have died in some desolate wilderness long ago!"

"Isn't it only right and proper for a disciple to honor his master?"

By the time Xuan Wang cursed those words, Li Yan's shadow was already lurking behind him.

Li Yan silently recited, "Blood Shadow Technique, Blood Feeding!"

After absorbing the corpse puppet's blood, the shadow awakened some sort of power!

The Golden Body Dharma Aspect rose from the ground. No longer a one-zhang-tall golden body, it had grown to two zhang.

Its translucent fist blasted toward the back of Xuan Wang's head!

A thick arm, terrifying muscles, a Golden Body brimming with violent savagery—it smashed viciously toward Xuan Wang.

Xuan Wang snorted coldly. "A petty trick, and you dare show off your clumsy axe work before me!"

The old ghost arrogantly turned around and caught the punch with one hand!

A fist as thick as a water vat came crashing down and collided with Old Daoist Xuanwang's palm.

Boom!

The Golden Body Dharma Aspect clashed head-on with Old Daoist Xuanwang, kicking up sand and dust that filled the sky.

When the dust settled, the Golden Body Dharma Aspect had already turned into a shadow and fled back, leaving only Xuan Wang standing where he was.

Xuan Wang had forcibly endured the punch, and those around him immediately began asking after him.

"Junior Brother, are you all right?"

"Master!?"

Faced with everyone's concern, Xuan Wang calmly brushed the dust from his body. "Nothing serious!"

Seeing that the old ghost Xuan Wang had not even changed expression, Li Yan began to wonder.

"Strange. That punch just now not only used my full strength, but also absorbed Su Mo's blood."

"By all rights... it should have injured him at least somewhat."

While Li Yan hid in the shadows, racking his brains, Old Daoist Xuanwang turned away, a thread of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

The old ghost did not want his disciples to discover that he had suffered a minor injury. Though it was only a minor injury, an injury was still an injury.

Senior Brother Xuan Sha noticed the blood at the corner of his mouth and asked in surprise through voice transmission.

"Junior Brother, you...?"

Xuan Wang wiped away the blood and snorted.

"That traitorous disciple used some unknown method. It made the blood and qi within me churn. I was careless with that punch just now!"

"Do not let that traitorous disciple notice, or it will only fuel his arrogant flames!"

Meanwhile, Li Yan, hiding in the mist, knew nothing of this and mistakenly believed his punch had been too weak.

Li Yan stroked his chin, deep in thought. "Did I calculate it wrong?"

"Su Mo, give me more blood. A lot more."

The corpse puppet Su Mo did not hesitate at all and began forcing the blood and qi from within her body.

Visible to the naked eye, that mass of blood and qi flowed into Li Yan's shadow.

After the Blood Feeding, Li Yan's shadow gleamed with golden light—so wicked it became righteous!

"Go!"

After absorbing even more blood this time, Li Yan formed a hand seal and controlled the shadow as it attacked Xuan Wang!

Old Daoist Xuanwang, who had just been forcing himself to hold on, sensed something coming at him from within the mist.

"Prepare yourselves! That traitorous disciple is coming again!"

"Li Yan, if you dare show yourself, I will make sure you never return!"

The boastful Old Daoist Xuanwang had yet to realize what he was about to face.

A massive Dharma Form rose from the ground before him. Its terrifying muscle lines drove its fist as it smashed viciously toward Xuan Wang!

Before Xuan Wang could say another word, the Golden Body Dharma Aspect's fist roared like a heavy cannon and crashed down!

Feeling the terrifying gale of force, the old ghost Xuan Wang's eyes widened. He immediately crossed both arms before himself in defense.

Boom!

That single punch blasted the old ghost Xuan Wang hundreds of steps away.

The old ghost could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, the old ghost was sent flying by one punch and vanished into the mist.

"Master!?"

"Junior Brother Xuan Wang!"

Xuan Sha and the others had never expected the Golden Body Dharma Aspect to be this powerful this time.

The flying Xuan Wang rolled several times across the ground, his daoist robe covered in dust.

The old daoist's crown had fallen away, and his gray hair spilled loose. He was filthy and utterly disheveled.

Blood dripped down his chin, staining the daoist robe over his chest red.

"Traitorous... cough, cough!"

This time, the old ghost could not even speak. After several violent coughs, he even coughed up blood.

Only after witnessing this scene did Li Yan, hiding in the dark, suddenly understand.

"So the old man had been forcing himself to endure it after the first Blood Feeding."

Looking at the result before him, Li Yan found it somewhat unbelievable.

That punch had made Su Mo bleed heavily. The shadow, after absorbing a massive amount of Yin Blood, had actually beaten a daoist at the peak of the Blood Moving Realm into such a sorry state with a single strike!

Coming back to his senses, Li Yan asked excitedly, "Do you have any blood left?"

Su Mo patted her little belly and shook her head, saying a single word, "Hungry."

Hungry?

The corpse puppet probably meant that she had consumed too much blood and needed to replenish herself with some Spirit Liquid.

Li Yan realized that as long as he had enough Yin Blood, he could use the Blood Shadow Technique to kill Xuan Wang!

"Come on, let's hurry deeper into Broken Sword Valley. There's no shortage of Corpse Heart Flowers and Yin Spirit Water in there!"

Li Yan took Su Mo's hand, preparing to bring her over for a hearty meal.

It had to be said that the Yin Blood produced from a Blood Pill Realm cultivator's corpse was exceptionally potent!

If the amount had not been so limited, Li Yan would have been able to kill Xuan Wang and Xuan Sha long ago with the Blood Shadow Technique.

The most urgent matter was to let Su Mo eat her fill and produce enough Yin Blood.

He had already found a way to counterkill the old daoists. Li Yan would never let this chance slip away!

He had to be quick!

Otherwise, once the old daoists escaped Broken Sword Valley, he would miss the best opportunity to kill them.

Just as Li Yan began gathering medicinal herbs to restore some blood to the corpse puppet Su Mo,

the injured Xuan Wang had grown afraid as well.

"Senior Brother, quickly withdraw from Broken Sword Valley. I have an ominous premonition."

Xuan Sha also frowned tightly. "Just how many treasures did your disciple pick up in Broken Sword Valley?"

"Forget it. Keeping our lives is more important. Let's retreat."

The two old daoists led their disciples and were just about to leave.

Suddenly.

A strange wind blew toward them, its bone-piercing cold rushing into their faces.

As the wind grew stronger, the mist within Broken Sword Valley was being blown deeper inside bit by bit.

"Hm!?"

"The mist in Broken Sword Valley is dispersing?"

When Xuan Wang saw this, he slapped his thigh and cackled wildly with delight. "Heaven is helping me! The freezing winds of Cold Ridge Valley have actually blown over here."

"The mist is about to clear! All disciples, prepare yourselves!"
