Killing Intent in the Dark Night!

For experts whose Qi and Blood were like a Tiger, their five senses far surpassed those of ordinary people. Within ten meters, in a quiet environment, they could detect a person's heartbeat and breathing.

So there was no need to enter the rooms; they could tell from outside whether anyone was inside.

Once they confirmed that Zhang Wuji was inside, they would immediately seize him with the force of a lion pouncing on a rabbit.

Thinking that he would soon obtain the Pill Recipe for the True Essence Blood Refining Pill, Qin Zhen could barely contain his excitement. Just as he listened outside the window of the second house—

Suddenly!

A steel-like hand burst through the window and, like an iron claw, abruptly seized his throat.

Qin Zhen's eyes widened as a cruel, icy whisper sounded beside his ear:

"You were looking for me?"

Boom!!

The window shattered, and Qin Zhen's heart jolted wildly. Before he could react otherwise, that hand bursting through the window dragged him into the room with irresistible, overwhelming force, as though hauling in a dead dog.

The entire window shattered. It was pitch-black both inside and out, and the window seemed like the gaping mouth of a monster, swallowing Qin Zhen whole.

In the front yard, Bai Yu heard the commotion and immediately rushed toward the Backyard at top speed.

"Urgh—aaahhh—"

His throat clamped by that steel-like hand as he was dragged into the room, Qin Zhen could not even cry out. Terror flooded his heart.

He had not seen clearly who had ambushed him, but he could keenly feel the tremendous power contained in the hand around his neck. Even when he circulated all his Qi and Blood to his neck, making it as tough as steel, he still felt the horrifying certainty that his neck could be crushed at any moment.

Like a broken doll, he was flung away. Like a cannonball, he crashed heavily into the wall, which instantly split with dense cracks. Qin Zhen spewed blood, his body bending at a grotesque angle as over half the bones in his body broke in the blink of an eye.

He barely managed to rise and resist, only for an irresistible force to slam his head downward.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

As the room's floor shook again and again, cracking in every direction as shards of stone flew, his head was driven into the ground like a hammer, smashing out a pit two feet deep in an instant.

After being violently slammed against the ground seven or eight times, Qin Zhen's head split open, drenched in blood. Blood gushed from all seven orifices, and indescribable agony spread from his brain through his entire body. He could no longer control himself, becoming a dead dog at another's mercy.

The Tai Sui Refining Divine Ability was this brutal!

A master whose Qi and Blood were like a Tiger had been caught off guard and directly crippled by Lu Yuan.

Just as he intended to press his advantage and kill Qin Zhen in one go, a clear, piercing sword cry rang out.

Sword light flickered through the darkness.

In an instant, chilling killing intent pointed straight at Lu Yuan's vital points.

Before the sword light even arrived, its sharp aura already stabbed painfully against his skin.

As the sword flew in, Bai Yu also saw Qin Zhen lying on the ground like a dead dog, with only faint breathing left.

If not for his clothes, he would not even have recognized that mangled face.

There was no time to consider why Qin Zhen was in this state. Bai Yu only wanted to kill this murderer and save Qin Zhen.

Clang!

Blade and sword collided, sparks scattering in all directions.

Bai Yu was knocked back several steps, his pupils contracting sharply. "This man's strength is absurdly great!!"

Looking again at Lu Yuan's face, he looked young and immature, clearly not yet twenty.

Could this little beast be Zhang Wuji?

How could someone so young possess such terrifying strength?

Trusting in their own strength, they had thought capturing Lu Yuan would be as easy as turning over a hand. Instead, Qin Zhen had been turned into a dead dog, while Bai Yu himself had also experienced that immense power firsthand.

"My turn now!!"

Lu Yuan keenly sensed the tremor in his opponent's arm and recognized that he could barely withstand his strength. With a stomp of his foot, the blade in his hand swept forth with the force to split wind and cleave stone.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blade and sword clashed. Bai Yu was forced back again, retreating nine steps in a row, his face beneath the black cloth already flushed red.

At last, Bai Yu was pushed to his limit. He knew that if this continued, he would undoubtedly die.

"Little beast, die!!"

Bai Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he roared. His long arms stretched like an ape's, his longsword dancing as though wind and thunder surged together.

As his sinews and bones snapped and trembled, his Qi and Blood churned and surged, as though a lion's roar sounded.

At that moment, Bai Yu's sword speed abruptly increased by thirty percent. Sword light flashed like lightning, engulfing Lu Yuan.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Yet Bai Yu discovered that Lu Yuan not only possessed terrifying strength, but his blade techniques were also profoundly exquisite. No matter how fast Bai Yu's swordsmanship became, he could not break through Lu Yuan's blade momentum.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Bai Yu kept staggering backward. His gums trembled, blood seeping from them, while the hand gripping his sword was slick with blood—his tiger's mouth had been completely torn apart.

His expression changed wildly, terror surging through his heart.

He had spent his days catching hawks, only to have one peck out his eyes.

Who could have imagined that tonight, they would kick an iron plate?

Damn it!

There was no way he could save Qin Zhen.

Fear chilled Bai Yu to the bone. He dared not keep fighting. His loyalty to Qin Zhen had its limits; he would never throw away his own life for Qin Zhen.

Yet in the next instant, accompanied by a crescent-moon-like streak, a blade flashed into Bai Yu's sword momentum from an utterly inconceivable angle.

"Not good!"

Bai Yu inwardly cried out, his soul nearly leaving his body.

This strike was far too exquisite, blending angle with an explosive burst of force and bringing him boundless danger.

The blade slid along the edge of his sword. Blood sprayed in every direction as the saber, carrying tremendous force, cleaved Bai Yu cleanly in two at the waist.

In an instant, blood mixed with organs, and intestines gushed out wildly.

The two halves of his body fell apart. His upper body rolled several times, dyeing the ground red.

"Urgh... I..."

Bai Yu, though severed at the waist, was not yet dead. His huge, bloodshot eyes stared wide, until at last his final breath scattered and his soul returned to the Yellow Springs.

The courtyard fell quiet again. Only Lu Yuan could still hear the faint sound of breathing from inside the room.

Pulling away the white cloth covering Bai Yu's face, Lu Yuan saw an expression of utter disbelief frozen upon it.

"Who bears such a deep grudge against me?"

Lu Yuan frowned in thought.

He searched through his memories and confirmed that he did not know this man.

Returning to the room, Lu Yuan stepped on Qin Zhen's body and pulled away the black cloth, revealing another face he did not recognize at all.

An absurd thought suddenly sprang into his mind.

Could they have gotten the wrong person?

"Haah... haah..."

Qin Zhen's injuries were grave. He was practically only breathing out, unable to breathe in, like a dying beast clutching its head as though trying to choke off the leaking of his life.

After all, he was an expert whose Qi and Blood were like a Tiger, with formidable vitality.

But after being so violently hammered by Lu Yuan, he was not far from death.

"Tell me. Who exactly are you, and why did you come after me?" Lu Yuan asked coldly.

"I never thought... this would be how I died..."

Qin Zhen gave a self-mocking laugh, then cursed through gritted teeth, "That beast Li Yu got me killed!!"

To be honest, compared to "Zhang Wuji," he hated Li Yu even more.

If Li Yu had not gotten the information wrong and said that Zhang Wuji had undergone at most Four Blood Changes, how could he have let down his guard?
