Qian Ming Returns

Yang Lie thought to himself, I'm basically an Essence Solidification Realm martial artist combining the powers of humans, ferocious beasts, and the blood clan, aren't I? The blood clan's super-regeneration ability is incredibly useful!

The blood clan's super-regeneration ability was terrifying. They had relied on that dreadful ability to gain quite an advantage in their small-scale wars against humanity.

Although humanity had also developed medical technology capable of regenerating severed limbs, it was still far less convenient than the blood clan's abilities on the battlefield.

Of course, humanity also possessed terrifying martial arts that could allow someone to regenerate from a drop of blood, but all such martial arts were Heaven-Grade Martial Arts or above.

Yang Lie glanced at the blood clan corpses in the room and began searching them.

A trace of regret flashed through Yang Lie's eyes. "Other than these Pills, these blood clan members don't have anything valuable on them."

Those Pills were called Blood Cores, refined from the blood of Extraordinary Creatures. Whenever blood clan experts were injured, taking a Blood Core was equivalent to drinking blood, allowing them to unleash astonishing regenerative abilities.

After Yang Lie killed the invading blood clan members, he remained in the room on guard.

An hour later, Qian Ming, covered in blood and slightly pale, turned into a streak of light and flew over from afar.

Martial artists of the Heaven and Human Realm could communicate with the power of heaven and earth and fly freely through the skies.

"Not good!!"

Zhu Hai, who had been immersed in the Blood Clan Holy Page, was abruptly jolted awake. At a glance, he saw Qian Ming flying over from afar, and panic filled his heart.

"You've been contaminated!"

Qian Ming descended from the sky and looked at Zhu Hai with a complicated expression. "You didn't have to be contaminated!!"

Zhu Hai was a Heaven and Human Realm martial arts expert. His strength was formidable, and he possessed an exceptionally powerful martial will. If he had been unwilling, a mere Blood Clan Holy Page could never have contaminated him.

Evil God Forbidden Objects were also divided into different grades, and the Blood Clan Holy Page was among the lowest tier.

Zhu Hai said warily, "Little Qian, for the sake of the five years I once served you, let me go!! I can swear that I'll never appear in this city again from now on."

Qian Ming looked at him with mixed emotions. "What's recorded on this Blood Clan Holy Page should be the Blood Core Condensation Secret Technique! Practicing it can indeed give you a chance to condense a Martial Dao Golden Core, but to cultivate it, you need to kill more than a thousand Essence Solidification Realm martial artists. Besides that, you'll become something like a vampire and fall into becoming a lackey of the blood clan!! I can't let you go! Surrender. You're no match for me!"

In this era, those evil gods often spread all kinds of bizarre extraordinary knowledge through Dimensional Rifts. Once someone learned that extraordinary knowledge, they would become servants of the evil gods.

"Surrender? So I can be locked in the Evil God Countermeasures Bureau and used as research material? I don't want to become research material! Little Qian, let me go! Or kill me here!!"

Zhu Hai's gaze grew solemn. Blood streaks appeared in his eyes as he circulated his true qi. His entire body seemed to faintly resonate with heaven and earth as he stared fixedly at Qian Ming.

"Then I'll grant you your wish!!"

A cold glint flashed through Qian Ming's eyes. True qi surged throughout his body, and the phantom of a colossal Adamantine Dragon Elephant faintly appeared behind him. He stepped forward and threw a punch at Zhu Hai. What he cultivated was precisely the Heaven-Rank Vajra Dragon Elephant Skill.

"Golden Core! Golden Core!! Let me witness the strength of a Golden Core Realm martial artist!!"

Madness flashed through Zhu Hai's eyes. He burst into laughter as true qi boiled around him. Activating the Heaven-Grade Martial Arts Asura Demon Blade, his entire body seemed to transform into a frenzied demonic blade that slashed toward Qian Ming.

Boom!!

With a terrifying explosion, the demonic blade shattered. An incomparably tyrannical fist force smashed through it and struck Zhu Hai, blasting him straight into the ground. He spat out a bloody arrow, and his chest caved in.

"Golden Core!! As expected of the Golden Core Realm! And Qian Ming, you're still as heartless as ever! You don't have the slightest bit of human feeling! Forget it!! Kill me! I don't want to become research material for the Evil God Countermeasures Bureau! Also, I'll leave my family in your care! At least you've always been trustworthy in that regard!"

Zhu Hai lay on the ground, pale-faced, and spat out a mouthful of blood. At last, he let out a faint sigh. "I wanted to become a Golden Core Realm martial artist too!!"

"I understand! I'll take good care of your family!"

A complicated look flashed through Qian Ming's eyes. He threw a punch, and a terrifying fist force directly shattered Zhu Hai's heart.

"Those damned evil gods!!"

Qian Ming picked up the Blood Clan Holy Page and glanced at it, hatred surfacing in his eyes.

Many of Qian Ming's classmates and friends had died in wars against evil gods. Furthermore, the evil gods constantly sent all kinds of Evil God Forbidden Objects through Dimensional Rifts into human territory, causing countless humans to fall and become contaminated, turning into the evil gods' claws and slaughtering one another.

"Zhu Hai was held up here!! Lily!! Xin'er!! Little Lie!!"

An anxious look flashed through Qian Ming's eyes. With a leap, he turned into a streak of light and appeared before his home.

"Was I too late?"

Looking at the front door riddled with bullet holes, Qian Ming's heart sank slightly. He pushed the door open at once.

"Uncle Qian, is that you?"

Yang Lie hid in the darkness by the entrance, eyeing the suddenly appearing Qian Ming with great vigilance.

Qian Ming asked uneasily, "It's me! Little Lie, are your Aunt Fang and Xin'er alright?"

Yang Lie remained wary. "They're alright! But Uncle Qian, weren't you supposed to be fighting the massive beast tide on the front lines? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"There was a problem with the people I sent to guard the residential complex. After I noticed it, I barely managed to drive back my opponent before coming back to take a look! Little Lie, well done!"

Qian Ming strode inside openly, gave Yang Lie an approving glance, and pulled open the master bedroom door.

"Dad! I was so scared!!"

Qian Xiner and Fang Li immediately threw themselves into Qian Ming's arms. Qian Xiner burst into tears. She had never encountered such a dangerous situation before.

Though Qian Ming's face was pale, he comforted them gently. "Don't be afraid! I'm back!"

Seeing this, Yang Lie smiled and returned to the living room to sit down.

"Little Lie, thank you! You saved Lily and Xin'er, which is the same as saving my life!"

After comforting his wife and daughter, Qian Ming came to the living room and sat opposite Yang Lie. Looking at the imposing young man, he sighed emotionally.

Yang Lie smiled. "Uncle Qian, it was what I should have done!"

Qian Ming had practically treated Yang Lie like his own son. Whatever treatment Qian Xiner received, Yang Lie received as well. He never lacked Low-Grade Spirit Rice or Ferocious Beast Meat. Qian Ming's nurturing had contributed greatly to Yang Lie's rapid cultivation progress.

Qian Ming said, "Little Lie, what do you want? Tell me!"

Yang Lie answered frankly, "Uncle Qian, I want an Essence Nourishing Pill!"

To remove the evil god contamination, Yang Lie had spent ten spirit stones. He no longer had enough money to buy an Essence Nourishing Pill.
