Fusion of Divine Artifact Fragments, Obtaining Heaven Tier Martial Skill

One of the women smiled charmingly: "So, brother, you're trying to steal food from the Lords?"

"Hahaha!"

"How could beings at the Core Formation stage or above possibly be here? Even the weakest Core Formation great demon would require someone like a Prefectural Commander to deal with."

Xue Ping blushed furiously, unable to retort. Seeing this, the others felt it was boring and ignored him.

"Brother Xue Ping, we're new here, so we should speak less and observe more," Wang Feng said as he walked up to comfort him.

"Brother Wang, I naturally know that, but they're so arrogant and have no regard for rules. Aren't they afraid outsiders will laugh at them?" Xue Ping muttered under his breath.

Although his voice was low, this was the headquarters of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, filled with many experts. Meridian Opening realm cultivators were as common as blades of grass, and their hearing was naturally beyond what a mere Body Tempering realm cultivator could imagine.

"Rules? The rules of the Demon Suppression Division are that subordinates settle things through combat. Do you dare to fight?" a bald, burly man asked with a grin, disdainfully.

As soon as he said this, Wang Feng's face showed embarrassment. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My brother speaks without thinking. Please forgive us, Lords."

"We all have our heads on the line, fighting for a future. If you don't have the ability, don't speak nonsense," a middle-aged man in Commander's robes said, looking at Wang Feng and Su Ye.

"You're right, you're right," Wang Feng quickly agreed.

The two had no intention of staying there any longer and looked for others to leave with. Just then, Su Ye took a document from the announcement board.

He paid no attention to the commotion in the hall. His priority now was to quickly accept the mission and leave Yunzhou City to fuse the "Blood Fiend Sky-Severing Stele."

Being in Yunzhou City, he didn't dare to fuse it easily. There were many experts in the city, and there were also formations. He might be detected.

At this moment, Xue Ping strode up to Su Ye, his face grim: "Su Ye, did you hear that? You still have the mind to accept missions here?"

His voice reached the ears of the surrounding people. The men who had spoken earlier looked surprised. One of them, named Zheng Yu, said, "This kid is also new. Did he just take down a document?"

"I didn't notice."

"I didn't notice either."

His companions replied.

At this time, a young man not far from Su Ye suddenly spoke, "This person just accepted the document for Chaiqiao Town."

"Chaiqiao Town? Isn't that place troubled by Mountain Ghosts?"

"I remember now. It was posted ten days ago. It said that several cultivators in the mid-to-late Meridian Opening realm would be needed to handle it safely," Zheng Yu's companion chimed in.

"He's really looking for death. Although the mission rewards are great, you need the strength for it."

"I think this person is just a Captain, at most mid-stage Meridian Opening."

"His companions are still Demon Execution Guards, they haven't even cultivated to the Meridian Mirror realm. Isn't this sending them to their deaths? Who gave them such guts?"

The surrounding people discussed endlessly.

"Where did their guide go? Why aren't they managing them? They're finished now," the woman who had spoken earlier said faintly.

Hearing that they were newcomers, the surrounding crowd also joined the discussion. Wang Feng and Xue Ping's faces were extremely grim. Xue Ping spoke first, "Su Ye, you accepted this mission yourself. It has nothing to do with me. You handle it yourself."

He naturally knew about Su Ye killing Magistrate Chen and the other two. In his opinion, Su Ye was just lucky. Yan Shan had heavily injured Magistrate Chen and the other two before Su Ye picked up the scraps.

He was confident that although his strength was not as good as Su Ye's, if he planned carefully, he could definitely deal with Magistrate Chen and the other two as well.

Wang Feng sighed, "This... Brother Su, I can't help you either."

Seeing the two leave, Ma San spat, "Forget Xue Ping. I didn't expect Wang Feng, who looks like a decent person, to be like this too."

"Lord, Old Ma is willing to accompany you on this trip."

"To meet the demands of our vast readership, we are now introducing an ad-free VIP membership feature."

"Click to view."

Su Ye had already anticipated the reactions of Wang Feng and the other two. They had known each other for less than half a month, and there wasn't much friendship between them. The mission he accepted was no different from a death sentence to them.

However, Ma San's reaction surprised him greatly. Ignoring the strange looks from everyone, he called out to Ma San, "Let's go back to our residence and talk."

After signing and stamping before the carved wooden window, Su Ye and Ma San walked out of the Imperial Decree Room one after the other. On the way, Su Ye turned back and said, "Brother Ma, I plan to go alone this time."

"That Mountain Ghost is powerful," Ma San said worriedly.

"I have my own plans, don't worry."

Seeing the determined look on Su Ye's face, Ma San said no more.

Not long after leaving Yunzhou City, Su Ye communicated mentally and informed Da Hei to go to Chaiqiao Town to wait. He then found a hidden place, sat cross-legged on a large rock, tightly gripped the base of the stone tablet in his hand, and focused his mind on the panel.

Divine Artifacts:
[Blood Fiend Sky-Severing Stele] One-fifth incomplete, can be fused

Assistance Points: 1236

The words fused behind the divine artifact had appeared a long time ago, but there had never been a suitable opportunity. Now that the time had come, he chose to fuse them without hesitation.

Consuming 1000 Assistance Points, the fusion of [Blood Fiend Sky-Severing Stele (Incomplete)] began.

The stone stele base in his hand, which had been solid, suddenly turned into swirling mist. Through the system prompts, Su Ye roughly understood that this item was condensed from the martial arts origin of a powerful being.

Only those above the True Martial Realm could communicate with the power of heaven and earth through their martial arts comprehension to fuse and refine it. Those with insufficient strength wouldn't even be able to refine it, let alone fuse it.

As the mist continuously entered Su Ye's body, his spiritual sea instantly presented an astonishing sight: torrents of blood fiends converging.

The source was the fragment of the Blood Fiend Sky-Severing Stele. As it continuously poured into Su Ye's spiritual sea, it gradually transformed into a vast ocean of blood.

The origin of killing intent fully fused, and in that instant within Su Ye's spiritual sea, a powerful, bone-chilling blood fiend aura erupted.

It spread from his spiritual sea to his limbs and bones, then surged out of his body. The outside world was suddenly filled with changing winds and clouds, covering dozens of miles in blood-red hues as a malevolent wind howled.

His body, scoured by the blood fiends, became more than ten times stronger than before. Unconsciously, he gripped the Ghost Head Saber and forcefully swung it at his left arm.

"Clang!"

A metallic collision echoed. Su Ye's expression flickered with surprise. He hadn't expected this saber, which had survived battles, to be damaged by his own hand first.

At this moment, the blade, over a meter long, had a deep, inch-thick chip.

"Forget it. As the old saying goes, out with the old, in with the new.

With my current strength, I could crush my previous self with one hand."

At this moment, a large amount of information suddenly surged into Su Ye's mind. Before he could examine it closely, a line of text slowly appeared on his status panel.

[Acquired: Blood Fiend Heaven Intercepting Palm (Heaven Tier, Mid-Grade)] Cannot be upgraded.

This was a Heaven Tier Martial Art, and a mid-grade one at that.

Su Ye couldn't help but be overjoyed. Heaven Tier Martial Arts were no ordinary matter; a single grade difference was like a world apart.
