Three Cups as Punishment

"Boom--!!!"

The dark purple beam of true energy shot straight into the sky like a volcanic eruption, dyeing the clouds above the Han Family a strange purplish-black!

In mid-air, Li Changshan, the Capital instructor who had been high and mighty as if he were acting on behalf of Heaven, suddenly changed his expression drastically when he looked down at the monster covered in purple scales that resembled a demon!

"You... you've actually become Variants?!"

Li Changshan's pupils contracted sharply, and his hands, which had been behind his back, clenched tightly, his palms even sweating profusely.

I was careless!

Or rather, he was filled with deep regret!

In the unspoken "rules" among the top Martial Dao academies and the Night Watchers high command, the extermination of Variants often targets only the lower-middle-level minions and completely out-of-control flesh puppets.

The attitude of the authorities towards people like Han Changfeng, who were originally human experts at the Qi Gathering Realm but were merely protecting Variants, has always been ambiguous.

After all, a living Qi Gathering Realm has immense strategic value.

Li Changshan's original plan was to bring this group of prodigies to the Han Family to kill a few Blood Transformation Realm Variants to establish his authority, and at the same time, to give Han Changfeng a warning. Once the old man gave in, he could then sit down and make him compensate the Han Family for most of its resources, and finally "slap him with a three-cup slap," and the matter would be over. He could make a lot of money and show off the prestige of the Capital Martial University.

But he never expected that his few harsh words, spoken in an attempt to appear righteous and awe-inspiring in front of the students, would actually drive this old man to despair!

"Damn it! If I'd known this old madman could mutate at any moment, I would never have pulled this stunt!"

Li Changshan cursed inwardly, but the die was cast, and there was no time for him to back down.

"Demon, prepare to die!"

Li Changshan suppressed the panic in his heart and unleashed his Qi Gathering Fourth Level without reservation!

"Azure Cloud Heaven-Covering Palm!"

He rapidly formed hand seals in the Xukong, and the boundless azure true energy instantly converged into a solid giant hand the size of half a football field. With an overwhelming and terrifying pressure, it pressed down on Han Changfeng, who had transformed into a purple-scaled evil spirit!

"Hehehe... Li Changshan, your internal energy is too weak!"

Han Changfeng let out a chilling laugh. He neither dodged nor avoided, but instead pushed off the ground with both legs.

"Bang!"

The ground where the Han Family was located instantly collapsed, creating a huge crater! Han Changfeng transformed into a purple lightning bolt and actually punched the huge cyan palm print head-on!

"Tear--!"

A teeth-grinding tearing sound echoed through the night sky!

Before Li Changshan's horrified eyes, his proud Profound Grade True Qi martial skill was actually torn in half by Han Changfeng's fist with sharp bone claws, like a rag being ripped apart!

"What?!"

Li Changshan was shocked and was about to retreat, but Han Changfeng's speed was incredibly fast thanks to the enhancement of his Variants body!

"Die!"

A purple afterimage instantly closed in on Li Changshan's protective aura. Han Changfeng's scale-covered whip leg, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, lashed hard into Li Changshan's chest!

Thump!

A muffled sound, like the resounding toll of a great bell!

"Puff--!"

Li Changshan felt a terrifying, overwhelming force Body Penetration. His protective inner energy shattered after only half a second! He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was slammed into a side room like a kite with a broken string!

With a single blow, the instructor leading the Capital Martial University team was put on the defensive!

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Han Changfeng hovered in mid-air, looking at his hands covered in purple scales and brimming with boundless power. A look of extreme shock flashed in his eyes, which then turned into hysterical ecstasy!

In fact, even he himself did not expect that his mutation would be so thorough and so rapid!

He had always believed that drinking the essence of Variants wouldn't transform his form. But just now, in his extreme anger and despair, he completely released the suppression of the Variants power within him, unexpectedly breaking through the shackles of his human body!

"So that's how it is... So this is the power of the Holy Clan!"

"This decaying body of mine should have been discarded long ago! With this perfect immortal body, plus my true energy, what difficulty is there in the Meridian Opening Realm?!"

Han Changfeng completely abandoned the last shred of shame and hesitation that humanity had left, his scarlet vertical pupils filled with greed as he stared at the few Capital prodigies below.

"None of you are leaving here today!"

Seeing that their patriarch had actually blasted away the high and mighty Qi Gathering Realm instructor with a single blow, the morale of the Han Family's Variants below, who had been suppressed, was immediately boosted!

"The master of the house is mighty!"

"Tear these Capital bastards apart!"

Han Pojun, who had been slammed into the ground, managed to crawl out of the ruins thanks to his Variants regenerative abilities as a mutant. Covered in blood, he was even more ferocious, and led six other Blood Transformation Realm Variants as they recklessly charged towards the three prodigies from Capital!

"Not good!"

The face of the top prodigy from Capital, who Blood Transformation First Level, changed drastically.

"Sizzle!"

Han Mei, transformed into a giant spider, spat out a highly venomous web, sealing off the prodigy's retreat. Han Pojun, like a heavy dump truck, withstood the attacks of the two Blood Refining Realm prodigies, his sharp horn slamming heavily into the shoulder of one of them!

"Ah!"

The prodigy Blood Refining Upper-Tier Perfection realm screamed in agony as half of his shoulder bone shattered instantly, and his protective blood energy was shattered!

In just a few breaths, the Capital Prodigy Team, which had initially held the upper hand, found itself in dire straits and at a complete disadvantage under the frenzied counterattack of the Variants!

at the same time.

The ruins of the Xiahou Family manor, several kilometers away.

The instructor leading the team from Demon Capital Martial University had just killed the two-headed giant lizard that Xiahou Chen had transformed into.

Sudden.

He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Han Family.

In that night sky, a terrifying pillar of dark purple true energy was recklessly releasing the terrifying pressure of a Qi Gathering Realm Variants!

"That's...?!"

The Demon Capital instructor's large, round eyes widened in disbelief. "Qi Gathering Realm mutant?! What on earth did that idiot Li Changshan do to force that old man to mutate?!"

He threw down the half-dead Xiahou Chen from his arms and turned to look at Chu Kuangren and the others who were cleaning up the mess.

"Ignore these scum!"

The Demon Capital instructor roared, his voice like muffled thunder, "Something terrible has happened at the Han Family! That pedantic scholar Li Changshan has really messed up! Come with me immediately!"

"Whoosh!"

The mentor from Demon Capital whipped up a whirlwind, leading Chu Kuangren and two other Demon Capital, transforming into four rapid shooting stars as they frantically rushed towards the Han Family to provide reinforcements!
