Bloody Battle in the Ruins

Boom! Boom! Rumble!

The earth roared, the ruins wailed!

The power of over a hundred simultaneously detonated Fire Luring Thunders far exceeded everyone's imagination.

The entire former site of the Chen Family manor instantly transformed into a living hell.

Fierce flames, like giant hands reaching from the underworld, mercilessly dragged nearly a hundred Wang Family guards, who were at the forefront, into the abyss.

Their screams lasted only a moment before being completely drowned out by the roar of the explosions.

Scorching shockwaves, mixed with rubble and severed limbs, swept madly in all directions!

Those Wang Family guards who were fortunate enough not to be directly hit were also blown away by the terrifying blast wave. While still in mid-air, their bodies were pierced by countless high-speed flying rubble, falling like dumplings, crackling and popping.

[Ding! Killed a Body Tempering Second Stage martial artist, gained Cultivation Points +20!]

[Ding! Killed a Body Tempering First Layer martial artist, gained Cultivation Points +10!]

[Ding! Killed a Body Tempering Third Stage martial artist, gained Cultivation Points +40!]

In Chen Chen's mind, the System's notification sounds scrolled frantically like madness!

His Cultivation Points were skyrocketing at a visible rate!

"You little beast! How dare you!"

Wang Wei's eyes were about to split. He never imagined that Chen Chen would have laid such a vicious trap here!

In a single exchange, nearly half of his Wang Family's guard strength was lost here!

He let out a furious roar, his half-step Qi Condensation terrifying aura erupting. A bloody protective aura shielded him, the elders behind him, and the Blood Guard, allowing them to withstand the explosion's aftermath.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The training ground was a mess.

The once imposing Wang Family army was now less than half remaining, all covered in dust, wounded, their eyes filled with terror and dread.

And in the center of the unrecognizable ruins, a figure slowly stood up from a pre-prepared deep pit.

It was Chen Chen.

He was unharmed.

He looked at the masterpiece before him, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"Wang Wei, do you like the appetizer I prepared for you?"

"I'll kill you!"

Wang Wei was completely blinded by rage. The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he transformed into a bloody streak of light, charging directly at Chen Chen!

The long sword in his hand let out a mournful cry, its blade glowing with intense blood light!

"Blood Fiend Demonic Sword!"

He unleashed his ultimate skill from the start!

"Kill him!"

The four elders behind him also surged forward, sealing off all of Chen Chen's escape routes from four different directions.

Thirty Blood Guards formed a battle formation, their overwhelming killing intent like a giant net, locking onto Chen Chen from afar.

This was a sure-kill situation!

However, Chen Chen advanced instead of retreating!

"Excellent!"

He let out a long roar, investing his newly boosted Cultivation Points without hesitation!

[Consumed 200 Cultivation Points, activated System's temporary function: Asura Battle Intent!]

[Within ten breaths, host's all-attribute stats increased by 50%, damage bonus against Blood Fiend type cultivation methods increased by 100%!]

Boom!

An aura even more ferocious and domineering than Wang Wei's exploded from Chen Chen's body!

His eyes instantly turned crimson, and a faint bloody mist permeated his body, making him look like a true Asura emerging from hell!

The steel saber in his hand was merely common iron, but now, infused with immense Asura Fiendish Energy, it hummed under the strain!

Facing Wang Wei's fatal sword strike, Chen Chen neither dodged nor evaded. The steel saber in his hand met the attack with a powerful, unreserved momentum!

"Clang--!"

The saber and sword clashed violently in mid-air!

A visible wave of energy spread wildly from the two of them!

Wang Wei felt an overwhelming, suppressive, and terrifying force transmitted from his sword.

His Blood Fiend sword energy, which had always been invincible, seemed to melt away like snow meeting fire the moment it touched the Asura Fiendish Energy on Chen Chen's saber!

"Pfft!"

Wang Wei felt as if struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward. He crashed heavily onto the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What... what kind of cultivation technique is this?!"

His Blood Fiend Demonic Art was being completely suppressed!

Chen Chen forced Wang Wei back with a single saber strike, his movements never faltering.

Seven Shadows Step was unleashed to its limits, seven afterimages blooming on the battlefield, dazzling and confusing, making it impossible to discern reality.

"Kill the elders first!"

His target was clear!

His true form appeared behind a Wang Family elder as if teleporting.

The elder felt a chill on the back of his neck and was about to turn around.

A perfectly good head had already flown into the sky.

[Ding! Killed a Body Tempering Eighth Level martial artist, gained 90 Cultivation Points!]

Having struck true, Chen Chen's figure once again turned into an afterimage, merging into the battlefield.

"Fourth Brother!"

The other three elders' eyes split open with rage as they frantically attacked Chen Chen's afterimages, but every single one of their attacks landed on empty air.

Before Chen Chen, who had activated "Asura Battle Intent" and mastered Seven Shadows Step, these Body Tempering Eighth Level elders were like toddlers learning to walk, their movements laughably slow.

"Squelch!"

Another flash of blood.

The second elder was cut in half at the waist!

[Ding! Killed a Body Tempering Eighth Level martial artist, gained 90 Cultivation Points!]

"Form the array! Use the Blood Fiend Soul Binding Array to trap him!"

The remaining two elders were utterly terrified. They retreated rapidly, joining forces with the thirty Blood Guards.

Buzz!

An evil, blood-colored light screen shot up into the sky, transforming into a massive cage that enveloped Chen Chen.

Countless blood-colored chains shot out from the light screen, carrying the power to imprison the soul, coiling towards Chen Chen.

"He's trapped! Haha! You little brat, where do you think you're running now!" Wang Wei climbed up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and burst into manic laughter.

However, his laughter quickly froze on his face.

Inside the array, Chen Chen, far from panicking, closed his eyes instead.

Nine Nether Soul Refining Art!

His powerful soul force, far exceeding that of his peers, erupted with a roar!

"Break!"

He uttered only a single word.

Those blood-colored chains, capable of imprisoning Body Tempering Ninth Level martial artists, shattered inch by inch upon contact with his invisible soul barrier!

The entire Blood Fiend Soul Binding Array shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The two elders and thirty Blood Guards who were maintaining the array all spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering a backlash from the formation.

"This... this is impossible! His... his soul..." For the first time, true despair flickered in Wang Wei's eyes.

What kind of monster was this young man?!

Physical body, cultivation technique, movement technique, soul... he had no weaknesses at all!

Just as Wang Wei was lost in thought.

"Crack!"

The Blood Fiend Soul Binding Array shattered with a sound!

A blood-colored figure flashed out from the broken light screen.

Its target: Wang Wei!

"Asura... Sword!"

Although he held a saber, Chen Chen roared out his strongest killing move at this stage, belonging to the Asura God Transformation Art!

He poured all his strength, all his hatred, all his killing intent into this single saber strike!

A world-shattering blood-colored saber energy, as if it could cleave the sky apart!

Wang Wei felt the deadly threat and unleashed his full potential, raising his sword to block!

"Clang!"

The blood-colored longsword in his hand, a top-grade magical artifact, shattered inch by inch from the middle!

Immediately after, it was his body.

A thin bloodline stretched from his forehead all the way to his lower abdomen.

"I... I'm not reconciled..."

In Wang Wei's eyes, extreme shock and unwillingness still lingered.

His body split in two from the middle.

Blood splattered everywhere.

[Ding! Killed a half-step Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, gained Cultivation Points +110!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the Main Quest: Annihilate the Wang Family (Phase Complete).]

[Quest Reward: Cultivation Points +500, Random Treasure Chest *1!]

Chen Chen knelt down on one knee with a thud. The "Asura Battle Intent" effect on his body disappeared, and an endless sense of weakness washed over him.

But he smiled.

He raised his head and looked at the remnants of the Wang Family, who were terrified and fleeing for their lives. His voice was hoarse, yet it echoed throughout Qingyang City.

"The Wang Family... is finished!"

However, just then.

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding anyone before, cold and evil, descended from the sky without any warning!

The entire Qingyang City was enveloped by this pressure, and the air seemed to freeze.

A cold voice, with a metallic grinding texture, seemed to roll in from the highest heavens, resonating in the depths of everyone's souls.

"Oh? Who dares to be so bold as to touch my Blood Fiend Tower's dog?"
