Boom! Boom! Rumble!
The earth roared, and the ruins wailed!
The power of more than a hundred Fire Luring Thunders detonating at once exceeded everyone's imagination.
The former site of the Chen Family estate instantly became a living hell.
Rampaging flames, like giant hands reaching out from hell, mercilessly dragged nearly a hundred Wang Family guards charging at the front into the abyss.
Their screams lasted only an instant before they were completely drowned out by the thunderous explosions.
Scorching shockwaves, mixed with shattered stones and severed limbs, swept madly in every direction!
Even those Wang Family guards fortunate enough to escape the direct blast were hurled through the air by the terrifying shockwave. Before they even landed, countless high-speed shards of stone pierced through their bodies, and they fell with a crackling patter like dumplings dropped into a pot.
[ Ding! Killed a Body Tempering Second Stage martial artist. Cultivation Points +20! ] [ Ding! Killed a Body Tempering First Layer martial artist. Cultivation Points +10! ] [ Ding! Killed a Body Tempering Third Stage martial artist. Cultivation Points +40! ]
System notifications flooded Chen Chen's mind like they had gone mad!
His Cultivation Points were skyrocketing at a pace visible to the naked eye!
"You little beast! How dare you!"
Wang Wei's eyes nearly split apart in fury. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Chen Chen had laid such a vicious trap here!
In a single exchange, nearly half of the Wang Family's guard force had been buried here!
With an enraged roar, the terrifying aura of the Half-step Qi Condensation Realm erupted from him. A blood-colored protective aura shielded him, the elders behind him, and the Blood Guards, forcibly withstanding the aftermath of the explosions.
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed.
The Training Ground was a complete mess.
The once menacing Wang Family army had been reduced to less than half its original number. Every one of them was filthy and wounded, their eyes filled with terror and horror.
At the center of the ruins, which had been blasted beyond recognition, a figure slowly rose from a deliberately reserved deep pit.
It was Chen Chen.
He was completely unharmed.
He looked at the masterpiece before him, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"Wang Wei, did you enjoy 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 streak of bloody light as he shot toward Chen Chen!
The longsword in his hand let out a shrill wail, while blood light surged wildly from its blade!
"Blood Fiend Demonic Sword!"
The moment he attacked, he unleashed his trump card!
"Kill him!"
The four elders behind him also sprang into action at the same time, sealing off every possible avenue of retreat from four different directions.
The thirty Blood Guards formed a battle formation, their towering killing intent like a massive net that locked onto Chen Chen from afar.
This was a certain-kill setup!
Yet Chen Chen advanced instead of retreating!
"Good timing!"
He let out a long roar and unhesitatingly poured the Cultivation Points that had just surged into his body!
[ Consumed 200 Cultivation Points. Temporary system function activated: Asura Battle Intent! ] [ For ten breaths, all host attributes increase by 50%. Damage against Blood Fiend type cultivation methods increases by 100%! ]
Boom!
An aura even more violent and domineering than Wang Wei's exploded from Chen Chen's body!
His eyes instantly turned scarlet, and a faint blood-colored mist spread around him, making him look like a true Asura that had emerged from hell!
The steel knife in his hand was merely ordinary iron, yet after being infused with immense Asura Fiendish Energy, it gave off a strained hum!
Facing Wang Wei's deadly sword strike, Chen Chen neither dodged nor evaded. His steel blade met it head-on with a broad, sweeping, unstoppable momentum!
Clang—!
Blade and sword collided violently in midair!
A visible shockwave spread madly outward from the two of them!
Wang Wei felt an unmatched and terrifying force, carrying a suppressive effect, travel through his sword.
The Blood Fiend Sword Qi that had always cut through everything in its path melted away at breakneck speed like ice and snow meeting fire the instant it touched the Asura Fiendish Energy coating Chen Chen's blade!
Pfft!
Wang Wei was struck as if by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Th-This... what cultivation method is this?!"
His Blood Fiend Demonic Art had been completely suppressed!
After forcing Wang Wei back with one slash, Chen Chen did not pause in the slightest.
He pushed the Seven Shadows Step to its utmost limit. Seven afterimages bloomed across the battlefield, dazzling the eye and making it impossible to distinguish real from false.
"Kill the elders first!"
His target was clear!
His true body appeared behind a Wang Family elder as if he had teleported.
The elder only felt a chill at the back of his neck and was just about to turn around.
When his fine head had already soared into the sky.
[ Ding! Killed a Eighth Level of Body Tempering martial artist. Cultivation Points +90! ]
With one strike successful, Chen Chen's figure became an afterimage once more and merged back into the battlefield.
"Fourth Brother!"
The other three elders' eyes nearly split apart. They frantically attacked Chen Chen's afterimages, but every strike landed on empty air.
Before Chen Chen, who had activated Asura Battle Intent and mastered the Seven Shadows Step, these Eighth Level of Body Tempering elders were like toddling children, laughably slow in their movements.
Squelch!
Another flash of blood swept past.
The second elder was severed at the waist!
[ Ding! Killed a Eighth Level of Body Tempering martial artist. Cultivation Points +90! ]
"Form the array! Use the Blood Fiend Soul Binding Array to trap him!"
The remaining two elders were thoroughly terrified. They retreated at top speed and joined up with the thirty Blood Guards.
Buzz!
An evil blood-colored curtain of light shot into the sky, transforming into a massive cage that enveloped Chen Chen.
Countless blood-colored chains shot out from the light curtain, carrying the power to imprison the soul as they coiled toward Chen Chen.
"Got him! Hahaha! Little beast, let's see where you can run now!" Wang Wei climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and laughed madly.
Yet his laughter soon froze on his face.
Chen Chen, trapped within the formation, showed no panic at all. Instead, he closed his eyes.
Nine Nether Soul Refining Art!
His powerful Spiritual Power, far surpassing those of the same realm, erupted!
"Break!"
Only a single word left his lips.
The blood-colored chains, capable of imprisoning even Ninth Level of Body Tempering martial artists, shattered inch by inch the moment they came into contact with his invisible spiritual barrier!
The entire Blood Fiend Soul Binding Array shook violently, as though it could collapse at any moment.
The two elders controlling the formation and the thirty Blood Guards all spat out blood at once, suffering a backlash from the array.
"Th-This is impossible! His... his soul..." For the first time, genuine despair appeared in Wang Wei's eyes.
What kind of monster was this youth?!
His body, cultivation methods, movement technique, Spiritual Power... there was not a single weakness!
At the very moment Wang Wei lost focus.
Crack!
The Blood Fiend Soul Binding Array shattered in response!
A blood-colored figure flashed out from the broken curtain of light.
Its target was Wang Wei!
"Asura... One Sword!"
Though he held a blade, what Chen Chen shouted was the strongest killing move he could currently unleash, the supreme technique of the Asura God Transformation Art!
He poured all his strength, all his hatred, and all his killing intent into this slash!
A heaven-shaking blood-colored blade light surged forth, as if it would split even the sky apart!
Feeling the lethal threat, Wang Wei unleashed every ounce of his potential and raised his sword to block!
Clang!
The blood-colored longsword in his hand, that high-grade artifact, broke and shattered inch by inch from the middle!
Then came his body.
A thin line of blood spread from his forehead all the way down to his lower abdomen.
"I... refuse to accept this..."
Extreme shock and unwillingness still lingered in Wang Wei's eyes.
His body split into two from the middle.
Blood splashed across the ground.
[ Ding! Killed a Half-step Qi Condensation Realm martial artist. Cultivation Points +110! ] [ Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the Main Quest: Destroy the Wang Family (Phase One). ] [ Quest Reward: Cultivation Points +500, Random Treasure Chest ×1! ]
Chen Chen dropped to one knee with a thud. The effect of Asura Battle Intent vanished, and an endless wave of weakness crashed over him.
But he smiled.
He raised his head and looked at the surviving Wang Family remnants, who had been frightened out of their wits and were fleeing for their lives. His voice was hoarse, yet it spread throughout all of Qingyang City.
"The Wang Family... is finished!"
However, at that very moment.
An icy, evil, terrifying pressure far beyond anyone before descended from the sky without warning!
The entire Qingyang City was enveloped by this pressure, and even the air seemed to freeze solid.
A sinister voice, carrying the rasp of metal grinding against metal, seemed to roll down from beyond the nine heavens and resounded in the depths of everyone's soul.
"Oh? Who has such audacity that they dare lay hands on the dogs of my Blood Fiend Tower?"
