C19 The Killing Intent Was Revealed!!

"President of the Hengcheng Martial Artist Association, Dong Buwei!"

Dong Buwei gazed impassively at the two Divine God Religion powerhouses before him, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

At that moment, Lau Kuang, locked in combat with a Viscera Refining Stage adversary, burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you Divine God Religion whelps, did you really think Hengcheng was devoid of warriors?"

With those words, his offensive maneuvers intensified, becoming even more ferocious.

His punch tore through the air, emitting a piercing screech.

The faces of the Divine God Religion experts darkened, yet they showed no sign of distress.

Exchanging glances, one of them scoffed derisively.

"Let's just see if the esteemed President of the Hengcheng Martial Artist Association has what it takes!"

They launched their attacks in tandem, stirring up surges of Spiritual Qi, and engaged Dong Buwei in a fierce battle within the confines of the room.

Despite their combined efforts, Dong Buwei managed them with ease.

How could his combat prowess be anything but formidable, as both a peak Viscera Refining Stage warrior and the President of a city's Martial Artist Association?

Moreover, these Divine God Religion adversaries were not among the elite of the Viscera Refining Stage.

Dong Buwei could easily hold his own.

But suddenly, additional shadows burst into the room from outside.

Their cultivation levels, however, didn't seem particularly impressive – merely at the Blood Refining Stage.

Five Blood Refining Stage warriors.

Dong Buwei's brow creased ever so slightly.

"The Divine God Religion certainly never runs out of schemes. It seems this time you've deployed the full might of a branch division!"

One of the Viscera Refining Stage fighters clashing with Dong Buwei let out a malicious chuckle.

"If it means slaying a golden-tier God's Favored, who cares if it's just one branch or if all branches are called to action? It's worth it!"

Dong Buwei's face soured, his weathered visage contorted with waves of rage.

"Divine God Religion, you parasites of humanity!"

"Today, I shall see for myself whether a handful of Blood Refining Stage and two Viscera Refining Stage warriors can bring me down!"

Dong Buwei let out a roar, and in an instant, his white hair billowed around him, his aged face unexpectedly taking on a healthy flush.

It was a sign of robust Blood Essence Value!

"Hahahaha!"

Yet, the two Viscera Refining Stage warriors facing him just laughed.

"Who said anything about killing you?"

Dong Buwei's gaze sharpened, a sense of foreboding suddenly gripping his heart.

"As long as we can hold you back, the rest... a single Blood Refining Stage warrior will suffice!"

No sooner had the man finished speaking...

The five Viscera Refining Stage warriors who had burst in split off in two directions.

Four headed straight for Dong Buwei.

And the fifth...

Shockingly veered towards Su Yu, who was deep in a moment of enlightenment.

Dong Buwei's pupils constricted sharply.

"You're seeking your own death!"

Dong Buwei seethed with rage.

He erupted with fearsome might, but even with his formidable strength, he was only at the Viscera Refining Stage.

Let's not forget, the Divine God Religion also boasted two Viscera Refining Stage powerhouses!

Though they paled in comparison to Dong Buwei, the combined force of two Viscera Refining Stage and four Blood Refining Stage warriors was more than enough to hold him back.

"Hahaha, old man, even if you manage to kill us, that kid's fate is sealed. Did you really think we'd attack a city without a foolproof plan?!"

A black-robed figure cackled maliciously, intercepting the enraged Dong Buwei.

"You..."

Dong Buwei, consumed by fury, found himself hard-pressed to extricate himself quickly from the onslaught of six adversaries.

He cursed his lack of sufficient power.

His peripheral vision caught the Blood Refining Stage warrior relentlessly advancing on Su Yu.

Regret gnawed at him.

Even though the assailant was merely a novice Blood Refining Stage warrior from the Divine God Religion, he was more than capable of slaying Su Yu, who was lost in enlightenment.

"Die!"

Dong Buwei bellowed, his attacks growing increasingly ferocious. With each move, he unleashed a torrent of lethal techniques, and in mere moments, he had slain a Blood Refining Stage Martial Cultivator.

But...

Even then, time was running out!

In that moment, Dong Buwei's heart was heavy with sadness.

Meanwhile, within the sea of Su Yu's consciousness,

the strand of yellow energy had fully integrated into Su Yu's physical being.

Now, the yellow energy coursed through Su Yu's Blood Essence Value like a river, cleansing and fortifying his body with relentless vigor.

Moments later, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, his face etched with a look of revelation.

"This energy is incredible. Just a single strand has boosted my Blood Essence Value by three points, rivaling a Marrow Refining Pill!"

"Wait, no, it's even more potent than the Marrow Refining Pill. The pill comes with side effects, but this energy... it's completely free of any adverse effects."

Su Yu licked his lips, craving more.

His gaze drifted into the distance.

"What a shame, that figure has vanished. And why did it feel so familiar to me?"

As he pondered at the horizon, Su Yu was baffled.

But time didn't afford him the luxury of confusion. Suddenly, a fierce killing intent washed over him.

"Hmm?"

Su Yu's brow creased with unease, and he quickly withdrew from his consciousness.

Back in reality,

an expert from the Divine God Religion, at the Blood Refining Stage, gazed at the young man seated cross-legged before him with burning desire. His heart raced with anticipation.

"I never imagined I'd have the chance to slay a golden God's Favored!"

"If I succeed, I'm sure to gain the favor of the Divine Lord, and that could be my ticket to becoming a Grandmaster!"

The very thought of becoming a Grandmaster!

After all, he had only just entered the Blood Refining Stage.

But killing this golden God's Favored could grant him the boon he needed to ascend to Grandmaster status!

With this in mind, his desire blazed even fiercer.

He moved closer to Su Yu, his Blood Essence Value churning within him, and soon he was upon him.

Observing Su Yu with his eyes tightly shut,

he let out a malicious chuckle.

"Kid, your time is up!"

His fist rose, wrapped in a fearsome Blood Essence Value that glowed red like a fiery gauntlet, ready to unleash its devastating power.

Yet, in that instant,

Su Yu, who had previously kept his eyes tightly shut, had unexpectedly opened them.

A brilliant gleam burst forth from his eyes,

Directly targeting the other person's gaze.

"Is it you... who seeks my life?"

A chilling voice emerged from Su Yu, accompanied by an overwhelming and formidable power that erupted from his slender frame.

Blood Essence Value: 9, Late Blood Essence Stage!
