Lu Chen knew that the Bloodhand Daoist possessed the Blood Escape Art.
It was an exceedingly sinister secret art for escaping with one's life.
Once he transformed into a streak of bloody light, his speed was so great that even a Sinew-Piercing Realm expert would struggle to catch him.
That was why Lu Chen had kept his eyes on the Bloodhand Daoist from the very beginning, striking him down with thunderous force before he had any chance to flee.
Then Lu Chen turned.
His gaze fell on the remaining two men, Ma Changkui and He Chenzhou:
"Now."
"It's your turn."
Ma Changkui's face looked utterly grim.
He stared fixedly at Lu Chen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He could not understand how this brat from Scarlet Cloud County had suddenly become so powerful.
He had actually beaten a branch hall master of the Blood God Sect to death!
That was a Sinew-Piercing Realm expert!
Even if the Bloodhand Daoist's prolonged battle with Zhu Hanjiang had depleted his blood and qi, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
Yet against this Skin-Tempering Realm brat, Lu Chen, he had been utterly powerless to fight back, beaten to death on the spot by a flurry of punches.
Back then, Ma Changkui, who had reached skin-tempering perfection, had been no match at all for a Sinew-Piercing-level Mutant Beast.
He knew all too well the gulf between the Skin-Tempering Realm and the Sinew-Piercing Realm.
Yet the scene before him had completely overturned everything he knew.
Zhu Hanjiang, too, stared wide-eyed at the young man's back, his eyes brimming with disbelief.
"Th-this brat... how did he suddenly become so strong?"
When Lu Chen first arrived in Gaolin County, he had only been in the Blood-Moving Realm. Now he could kill a Sinew-Piercing Realm expert
