Vajra True Intent, Daoist Blood Origin

As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged Daoist nun waved her hand.

Under her control, the three Iron Corpses all revealed their true forms.

Bang!

The three Iron Corpses then stomped upon the ground, producing dull, heavy thuds.

The ground visibly began to cave in, leaving behind one footprint after another.

Faintly, sinister energy churned in the air.

The three Iron Corpses swiftly arrived outside the abandoned Daoist temple.

Crack!

Lightning raced across the distant sky, and countless raindrops plunged downward at breakneck speed.

Beneath the shroud of night.

The entire world looked as though it had been soaked in ink.

"Chen Ying, watch over the caravan."

Su Yun stared at the three Iron Corpses and gave a brief order.

"Yes, Third Young Master. Be careful yourself."

Chen Ying did not try to show off. He hurriedly nodded and quickly retreated from the area.

"Iron Corpses?"

At that moment, Su Yun moved his right arm and tossed the long saber in his hand into the air. It plunged straight into the ground as he smiled.

Raindrops falling from the sky ran down the long, narrow blade and splashed to the ground.

At a certain moment, thunder exploded.

The icy saber light reflected by the blade illuminated his cold eyes.

Boom!

In the next instant, Su Yun's blood and qi surged through his body like the roar of a True Dragon.

A golden radiance also rose from his body, brilliant and dazzling.

Sizzle!

The torrential rain had not even touched him.

Before it could, it was completely vaporized by his scorching blood and qi!

"Kill!"

Su Yun's figure flashed forward. He clenched his fist and smashed it ahead, kicking up great clouds of dust.

Its might was astonishing!

One of the Iron Corpses had no time to dodge. It could only raise its fist and meet the blow head-on.

Yet in the next instant, its body was sent flying straight backward, crashing into the wall of the Daoist temple.

Its body became embedded in the wall.

Its right arm hung limply at its side as a strange howl escaped its mouth.

Even one of its iron fists had been deformed!

"Damn it!"

"Is this a body that someone in the Body Refining Realm can possess!?"

The middle-aged Daoist nun's blood-red eyes widened at the sight, and she could scarcely believe it.

Naturally, she knew something about Body Refining Realm martial cultivators.

In fact, the three Iron Corpses under her control had originally been Body Refining Ninth Layer martial artists.

All three had cultivated a body-refining technique, and their physiques had been exceptional.

That was why they had caught her eye.

After being knocked unconscious by Soul-Bewitching Incense, they had ultimately been refined into Iron Corpses.

Their strength and defense had increased dramatically!

Yet Su Yun's physique far surpassed those three Iron Corpses. It was unimaginably powerful.

"You three, go too!"

At this point, she no longer dared to hold back her trump cards.

She sent out another three Iron Corpses.

Whoosh!

In an instant, three larger Iron Corpses strode out from the depths of the Daoist temple.

The Iron Corpse Su Yun had sent flying also got up and rushed back over.

A total of six Iron Corpses howled loud enough to shake the heavens.

They surrounded Su Yun on all sides!

"Trying to win with numbers?"

Su Yun swept his gaze around, smiled, and then approached with clenched fists.

In a flash, Su Yun's fist slammed into the chest of an Iron Corpse.

Crack!

As the sound of breaking bones rang out, the Iron Corpse's chest caved in. Flesh and bone burst apart, and black blood splattered across the ground.

Under the middle-aged Daoist nun's control, the other Iron Corpses began joining forces to attack Su Yun.

Boom!!

Yet beneath Su Yun's fists and palms, even the three larger Iron Corpses could not hold on.

Their flesh and bones exploded one after another.

Before long, the three weaker Iron Corpses were beaten to death by Su Yun, blown apart with his fists!

"Bone Forging Vajra Technique encountered sinister Iron Corpses. Shattering them, battle intent surged, yielding a flash of insight."

"Bone Forging Vajra Technique erupted with inspiration. Vajra True Intent successfully comprehended. Technique power increased by fifty percent!"

Amid the slaughter.

Suddenly, this voice rang out in Su Yun's mind.

"Hmm? Vajra True Intent?"

Delight appeared on Su Yun's face.

The manual for the Bone Forging Vajra Technique did indeed contain records of Vajra True Intent.

Some special techniques, once cultivated to profound levels, could allow one to comprehend the true intent of the technique.

Once a technique's true intent had been comprehended, its power could increase by severalfold!

Sure enough.

Almost instantly, the blood and qi within Su Yun's body began to surge explosively. His sinews and bones rang together, producing a crackling chorus.

Like thunder exploding across the distant sky.

His strength also surged by a great margin!

"Boom!"

The next moment, he fixed his gaze upon one of the large Iron Corpses and punched forward.

This punch was like the roar of a golden dragon!

In truth, it was not a dragon's roar, but the sound produced when the technique's power increased so greatly that the blow became overwhelmingly fierce.

As it struck the Iron Corpse.

"Thud!"

The large Iron Corpse could not withstand the punch at all.

Its entire body began to burst apart, scattering across the ground.

It looked like shattered porcelain!

"How is that possible!"

"How could a mere junior at the Body Refining Fifth Stage kill a Second-Tier Iron Corpse?"

The middle-aged Daoist nun could not believe what she was seeing.

The three Iron Corpses she had just dispatched were all Second-Tier Iron Corpses!

Each one was enough to rival a Profound Mastery martial artist.

This brat before her was only at the Body Refining Fifth Stage.

Even if he had cultivated a Human Grade High Tier body-refining technique, he could not possibly shatter a Second-Tier Iron Corpse in a single move!

By then, Su Yun had thrown two more punches, thoroughly killing the remaining two large Iron Corpses.

"Die!"

At that moment, he raised his eyes toward the middle-aged Daoist nun.

He strode toward the Daoist temple.

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating his face.

Only the middle-aged Daoist nun and the trembling Little Daoist Child remained inside the temple.

Seeing Su Yun approach, golden light flowing over his entire body and his aura terrifyingly imposing.

The middle-aged Daoist nun's face twitched, and her heart could not help but tremble.

She then shouted loudly, seemingly trying to bolster her own courage.

"A mere junior at the Body Refining Fifth Stage—do you really think Daoist Blood Origin fears you!?"

In the next instant, she took out a blood-red pill and threw her head back to swallow it.

Boom!

In less than a breath, the middle-aged Daoist nun underwent a drastic transformation.

Blood vessels bulged across her face. Blood mist coiled around her body as she rapidly swelled, turning into a three-meter-tall humanoid monster.

"Vajra True Intent!"

Su Yun showed no fear. Golden light gleamed from his right fist.

He threw a punch, whipping up a violent gust of wind.

"Ah!"

The middle-aged Daoist nun was struck squarely in the chest. She spewed blood wildly, and her aura weakened considerably.

A deep fist mark stood out starkly upon her chest.

The flesh there had torn apart, bone fragments flying everywhere. She had clearly suffered grave injuries.

Immediately afterward, Su Yun moved again and threw another punch.

The blinding golden light completely obscured the middle-aged Daoist nun's vision.

Even with her blood-red eyes opened to their limits, she could see nothing.

The next instant, amid a burst of thunderous noise.

The middle-aged Daoist nun's body flew through the air like a kite with its string cut, then fell weakly to the ground.

She had already reverted to her original appearance.

Her fingers twitched a few times before she completely ceased moving.

The middle-aged Daoist nun was dead!

"Extinguish!"

A moment later, Su Yun found the burning Soul-Bewitching Incense and raised his hand to snuff it out.

As the cold wind from outside rushed in, the strange fragrance within the abandoned Daoist temple disappeared.

"Dead for good?"

Of course, he had not forgotten to finish her off.

To prevent the Daoist nun from playing dead, Su Yun picked up his long saber and cut off her head in a single stroke.

The middle-aged Daoist nun showed no reaction whatsoever.

Only then did Su Yun relax his guard slightly.

This middle-aged Daoist nun had been quite sinister. She could control corpses and even transform into a humanoid monster.

She might well have possessed some method of "returning from death" and turning into a monster!

There was naturally nothing wrong with being cautious.

At that moment, only the trembling Little Daoist Child remained in the Daoist temple.

She was terrified, her eyes brimming with tears.

Large teardrops fell from her eyes.

Before Su Yun could question her, she hurriedly spoke in a trembling voice. "Big brother, I... I was captured by Daoist Blood Origin to make pills. I don't know anything."

The Little Daoist Child sobbed as she hugged her legs tightly, trembling without pause.

"Making pills? You're an alchemist?"

Su Yun asked while holding his saber.

The cold gleam of the blade shone over the Little Daoist Child's small face.

She shuddered and nodded repeatedly. "Mm, mm."

"It's just that my talent is limited. At present, I can only refine First-Tier pills."

"A few months ago, Daoist Blood Origin took notice of my talent for alchemy."

"She captured me and made me refine First-Tier Blood Evil Pills for her, so those three weaker Iron Corpses could grow quickly."

Su Yun's expression shifted upon hearing this.

Blood Evil Pills?

He had never heard of such pills.

There was no record of them in the Mystic Blade Sect's texts either.

"From now on, I ask, and you answer."

Coming back to his senses, Su Yun spoke coldly.

"Alright, I'll definitely cooperate."

Little Daoist Child immediately forced a smile.

As long as Su Yun did not kill her, it was fine.

Then, he began interrogating Little Daoist Child.

Gradually.

From Little Daoist Child's mouth, Su Yun learned Daoist Blood Origin's true origins!
