The tip of the blade is dripping with blood! As it falls on the shattered stones, it splashes blood flowers. "Hiss..." A gasping sound breaks the silence, and the eyes of everyone are filled with incredulity. The lowest strength among the black-clothed figures is at the Innate Realm. Tone-Breaking Army, with its elite team, has always been invincible, never encountering worthy opponents. Today! Lively, Verdantius Liu has given them a lesson. The Innate Realm is not invincible. What difference does it make to have a black crossbow in hand? Through the Ghost pupil, he can easily see the trajectory of each arrow. Deacon Qi's chest heaves violently. His eyeballs almost pop out as he rubs his eyes hard. The corpses on the ground tell him that all of this is real. The guards of the Xu family grip their daggers tightly. Unconsciously, sweat soaks their clothes. A cool breeze blows, sending shivers down their spines. "Good, very good. Originally, killing a useless person, I felt dirtying my hands. I will make you wish you were dead. The Xu family will be buried with you." Losing ten Tone-Breaking Army soldiers is unacceptable. Killing Verdantius Liu alone is not enough to quell their anger; the Xu family must also pay the price. In the eyes of the black-clothed leader, a crimson color appears, and a suffocating murderous intent pervades the air, spreading in all directions. In the Tone-Breaking Army, he is at most a captain. "Young master, run! We'll hold them off." Deacon Qi suddenly shouts, holding a long knife, intending to rush out and stop the black-clothed leader, allowing Verdantius Liu to escape. "Today, all of you will die. No one can escape. Kill them all!" With a command from the black-clothed leader, the remaining forty soldiers charge forward, the force of Innate Realm enveloping them like an overwhelming cage. The horses are whiny, two of them break free from their reins, running towards the outside of the Qifeng Canyon, unable to withstand the impact of the killing intent. "Deacon Qi, protect all the guards. Leave these people to me!" After saying this, Verdantius Liu turns into a meteor, disappearing on the spot. Like a tiger among the crowd, the short knife sweeps up, resembling the horns of a gazelle, leaving no trace. The blade's aura is like a rainbow, lifting up the shattered stones on the ground, forming a tornado, flying debris shooting towards the cliffs on both sides, making banging sounds. Deacon Qi is momentarily stunned, quickly comprehending. He summons the force of Innate Realm, standing with fifteen guards, ready to face the enemy at any time. The black-clothed leader doesn't move, standing quietly in place, his frown deepening. "Sizzling..." Blood sprays and each strike is flawless, finding no flaws. The black-clothed figures fall one by one, their eyes filled with despair before their deaths. It gives the illusion that they actively collided with Verdantius Liu's short knife, not being killed by someone else; they chose their own path to death. The Xu family guards tremble, not from fear of the black-clothed figures, but from the power erupting from Verdantius Liu, sending a chill through their hearts. It has surpassed that of ordinary people; only a deity can achieve such a feat. Death continues, the blade cutting through their bodies, and a powerful suction emanates from the Dantian, the God Swallow tripod absorbing all the essence from the black-clothed figures. Then! The God Swallow tripod releases a drop of liquid, flowing into the Dantian, the violent force exploding. "Swallowing and transmuting essence never thought killing could be like this." A hint of madness appears in Verdantius Liu's eyes. Killing all these people and accumulating enough liquid should be enough to break through the Third stage of the innate realm! This scene terrifies everyone present, including the black-clothed leader. Only a demonic entity would consume human blood essence. "Young master... Is he a human or a demon?" The guards' faces are full of panic. Only demons eat humans. Verdantius Liu's methods are similar to cannibalism. Just a moment ago, they were living beings, but now, they've turned into a piece of human skin, horrifying to hear. "Don't talk nonsense. Young master is, of course, a human." Deacon Qi slaps him. Such a large living person cannot be mistaken. If it were a demon, he would recognize it at a glance. The slaughter continues, the body spins, disappearing on the spot. Treading on the Seven Stars, three figures appear on the field simultaneously, attacking three different areas. The speed is taken to the extreme, only then can this be achieved. The black-clothed leader finally moves, and a big hand grabs straight for Verdantius Liu's neck, incredibly fast, using the force of the Soul washing Realm to oppress him. Of the forty black-clothed figures, only a few remain. In just three breaths, about thirty people have been killed, leaving only a few, gritting their teeth to persist. "Kid, I'm going to crush your bones and scatter your ashes. Every member of the Xu family will be buried, the men killed, and the women sent to the brothel." Through gritted teeth, the black-clothed leader spoke with extreme anger. Upon hearing this, Verdantius Liu suddenly stopped his movements, his eyes devoid of any emotion. "You've successfully angered me. I'll make you understand what it means to wish for death." Just like a dragon has its reverse scale, touch it and you die! Verdantius Liu felt the same way. The Xu family had raised him, treating him as their own. His father-in-law treated him like a son. Such kindness and grace were etched in his heart. The words of the black-clothed leader filled Verdantius Liu with an emotionless killing intent, turning him into a god of death. Abandoning the idea of killing the other black-clothed figures, he transformed into a shadow, rushing towards the black-clothed leader. The short knife slashed through the air with no discernible technique, simple and direct. The overwhelming aura made the black-clothed leader's expression change. As the palm got closer, the two were only ten meters apart, closing in the blink of an eye. "Clang!" Verdantius Liu's short knife was deflected by the black-clothed leader's palm, creating a ripple that surged in all directions, almost overturning the cargo wagons on both sides. Feet skimming the ground, he retreated about ten meters before barely stabilizing himself. The black-clothed leader's eyes narrowed. Although the palm strike didn't use his full strength, using only seventy percent was enough to kill a peak Innate expert. Shaking his arm, a wicked smile appeared on Verdantius Liu's lips. At the third stage of Soul washing Realm, he didn't take the black-clothed leader seriously. Both stood proudly in their positions, locking eyes with each other, a boundless fighting intent visible in their gazes. "You've truly impressed me. A mere second stage of the innate realm, yet your strength rivals the Soul washing. How did you achieve this?" The black-clothed leader took a deep breath, suppressing the anger within. The situation had reached this point, and there was no turning back. Challenging opponents of higher realms wasn't uncommon. With powerful cultivation techniques and advanced martial skills, one could achieve such feats. Crossing major realms was more extraordinary, able to surpass one or two small realms, and that alone could be considered heaven-defying. How did Verdantius Liu manage it? No one knew, including the Xu family guards. In their memory, Verdantius Liu had always been considered a waste, a playboy, a prodigal son. If such a person was considered a waste, then they were worse than useless. "Narrow-minded fools who know nothing beyond their own little world!" Verdantius Liu revealed a contemptuous smile. A strong impact surged from his feet, propelling him into the air. Hugging the ground, he created a tornado, the short knife making a sonic boom as he appeared within three meters of the black-clothed leader. "I'll capture you alive. I'll get the answers I want from your mouth!" The black-clothed leader spread his five fingers, emitting a chilling air. He practiced a formidable palm technique. The two clashed instantly, exchanging blows. Each collision produced a muffled sound. "Clang!" "Boom!" The two figures separated again, and the shattered stones on the ground disappeared, leaving a large empty space. Drops of blood fell to the ground from the black-clothed leader's right arm. "What a fast knife!" Even with the protection of True Qi at the Soul washing Realm, Verdantius Liu managed to easily pierce through the defense and stab the black-clothed leader's arm. Not only was the knife fast, but his technique was also mysterious, making it impossible to predict. A drop of blood trickled from Verdantius Liu's mouth, his arm pierced. While he endured the attack, others wouldn't fare as well. If it were anyone else, they would already be a corpse. The God Swallow formula of Tai Huang operated, and surging spiritual energy entered Verdantius Liu's body. The black corpses lying on the ground vanished, turning into dried human skins, their essence transformed into liquid, replenishing Verdantius Liu's Dantian. The liquid flowed through his limbs, dispelling the stifling feeling, and his aura became even more formidable. The black-clothed leader's expression changed abruptly. What kind of tyrannical cultivation technique was this? The speed of devouring spiritual energy was terrifying. "You're a demonic monster!" Uttering a horrified scream, the black-clothed leader's hands turned into dragon-like claws, rushing towards Verdantius Liu. He wouldn't give him a chance to continue devouring spiritual energy. If he continued, the one who would die for sure was him. Forcing someone of the Innate Realm to this extent would undoubtedly alarm the Great Yan Dynasty if the news spread. The remaining five black-clothed soldiers stood on the cliff. Having experienced the cruelty of war for years, they thought they had seen it all. However, the scene before them subverted their understanding. Taking a deep breath, Verdantius Liu's right eye suddenly underwent a subtle change, becoming even more profound. In the depths of his eyeball, a strange luster emanated. Not very noticeable unless observed up close, a peculiar light shone from his eyeball. Utilizing the Ghost pupil, he intended to end the battle quickly to avoid unnecessary complications. Suddenly, the black-clothed leader shuddered, as if locked in place by some mysterious force, unable to move. His eyes involuntarily looked towards Verdantius Liu. This power was too strange. It couldn't be seen or touched. Whether it really existed was unclear even to the black-clothed leader. A burst of formidable soul power shot out, injecting into the eyeball through the meridians, piercing through space. At the moment of eye contact, the black-clothed leader knew he had made a mistake, a grave one. Finally, he understood where this power came from. Realizing his mistake, he immediately closed his eyes, retreating behind him, but it was too late. "Ah!" A shrill scream erupted from him. His eyes were blinded, blood and tears streaming down. Clutching his head, he wailed on the spot. His hands, swinging down violently, happened to hit one of the black-clothed soldiers standing nearby, tearing him apart into pieces. This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, including the Xu family guards. There had been no physical contact between them. Why did the black-clothed leader scream? And his eyes, like they had been pierced by sharp needles, turned into two pitch-black holes, terrifying to behold. Soul power attack! Only Verdantius Liu knew best. His soul power easily penetrated the black-clothed leader's soul sea, causing damage that would take a while to recover from. The soul sea was in a chaotic state. Seizing this opportunity, his body disappeared on the spot, the short knife raised, stabbing toward the black-clothed man
