Chapter 388: Killing Seven Out of Ten Blood Disciples, the Blood Children Strike

Xu Yan knew that he only had one chance to strike, and he must not create any noise, or he would surely alert the Blood Child within the stone cottage.

This row of stone cottages was the innermost one, very close to where the Blood Child resided. With the Blood Child's strength, any noise would surely be sensed.

And because this Blood Disciple was the leader of the 666 Blood Disciples, his status was lofty. Naturally, Xu Yan couldn't afford to be as casual in assassinating him as he had been with the others.

He could only try to get as close as possible and use conversation to attract the target's attention, then strike suddenly and decisively, ensuring he had no chance to warn the others.

Xu Yan was well aware that even if this Blood Disciple was dissatisfied with the 666 group and found their behavior unusual, he wouldn't suspect an impostor and attempt to kill him. This was his opportunity!

"Just speak, Little Six," the Blood Disciple frowned, his expression displeased, but he didn't become guarded or move away. He allowed Xu Yan to approach him.

Xu Yan had already moved right in front of him, almost touching him. He raised a hand and said excitedly, "Look, what is this?"

"Hmm?"

The Blood Disciple, with his fierce-looking face, felt that being called "Little Six" by the 666 Blood Disciple was too disrespectful, not even addressing him with an honorific. He was becoming increasingly displeased, but he still lowered his head to look at Xu Yan's hand, which was stretched out towards his chest.

Buzz!

In that instant, a sword pierced his chest, and this sword seemed to have a spirit of its own. In the blink of an eye, it moved from his chest to his throat, shredding it and preventing him from crying out in pain.

His eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that the 666 Blood Disciple dared to attack him, his superior. Even at this moment, he didn't suspect that this was an impostor.

Boom!

Power surged within his body as he was about to unleash his formidable strength to suppress this subordinate who dared to strike him.

But at that moment, he seemed to see a vast landscape, as if he himself was in the midst of a majestic mountain range. Within this landscape, he saw a sword light slicing towards him.

The sword-wielder seemed to be the embodiment of the world and all its living beings.

"Enemy!"

Only then did he realize in shock that the 666 Blood Disciple was an impostor!

Puff!

Just as blood was about to spurt from his mouth, he was about to unleash a secret technique he had kept hidden. He didn't aim to escape his predicament, only to protect himself.

But it was already too late.

The black sword light fell, and his consciousness scattered in an instant. His physical body turned to ashes in the blink of an eye!

Xu Yan finally relaxed, his tense nerves loosening, and even broke into a slight sweat on his forehead. He had finally eradicated the target without creating any noise.

He had been prepared to flee if the Blood Disciple had managed to raise an alarm.

"Success!"

Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and soon became excited. He began to search through the stone cottage, taking all the resources he could find.

"With so many Blood Heart Fruits, I should be able to exchange them for quite a few heavenly treasures, right?"

This trip had been well worth it!

"Six Six Blood Disciple?"

As Xu Yan searched, he also learned the name of this Blood Disciple.

Six Six Blood Disciple.

"From now on, I am the Six Six Blood Disciple!"

Xu Yan immediately assumed the identity, changing his clothes and keeping the Blood Pearl on him, merging his aura with it. His facial muscles twitched a few times, reshaping his face to resemble that of the Six Six Blood Disciple.

However, since the Six Six Blood Disciple had a sturdy build, Xu Yan had to use his cultivation technique to expand his physical body temporarily, making himself look equally robust.

Although he didn't cultivate the bodily martial arts, his control over his physical body was extraordinary.

"After all, I've only temporarily enlarged my body using a cultivation technique. This could be a flaw. If I spend too much time with the other Blood Disciples, they might notice something strange and expose me."

But Xu Yan wasn't too concerned about this. He didn't plan on staying hidden for long anyway.

Moreover, since no infiltrator had ever appeared in the Abyssal Blood Prison, they believed that it was impossible for someone from the Divine Realm to impersonate or infiltrate them, as auras couldn't be changed.

Precisely because of this belief, even if they noticed something unusual, they wouldn't immediately suspect an outsider, which gave Xu Yan the opportunity to strike.

"The identity of the Six Six Blood Disciple should be easier to use."

Xu Yan walked out of the stone cottage and looked at the innermost row of cottages. Each one housed a Blood Disciple, and they were among the best of the Snake Peak Abyssal Blood Prison.

They could be considered core members.

Xu Yan walked to the next stone cottage and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" came a dull voice from within, sounding somewhat annoyed at the disturbance.

"It's me, Six Six," Xu Yan imitated the Six Six Blood Disciple's voice.

The door opened, and the Blood Disciple inside frowned at him, asking, "What's the matter?"

"Let's talk inside," Xu Yan walked into the stone cottage without waiting for a reply.

The Blood Disciple inside frowned but didn't say anything. He simply closed the door after Xu Yan entered.

By the time Xu Yan walked out of that stone cottage, it was empty.

"Onto the next one!"

Xu Yan continued his mission, being extremely cautious each time he struck. After all, each Blood Disciple was powerful, and any mistake could create noise and draw attention.

A day later, Xu Yan stood in front of a stone cottage.

This cottage was one of the largest among the Blood Disciples' dwellings, and the bloody light emanating from its roof was particularly eye-catching.

All of this indicated the strength of the Blood Disciple within, ranking among the top ten.

"How many Blood Disciples have I killed?"

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and turned to look at the stone cottages behind him. He had probably cleared out about seven out of ten.

Aside from those on patrol duty, most of the Blood Disciples who stayed in their cottages had been eliminated, and his harvest had been abundant.

"I must be more careful now."

Xu Yan decided that he would finish this last task and then retreat.

He already had more than enough Blood Heart Fruits.

"What is it?"

To Xu Yan's surprise, the Blood Disciple inside was a woman, her expression cold as if she didn't like the Six Six Blood Disciple very much.

"Let's go inside and chat," Xu Yan was about to enter the stone cottage, but the woman blocked his way, asking coldly, "Are you even qualified to enter?"

"Then I'll leave," Xu Yan turned and walked away, deciding to change his target.

"Do you think I'll let you go?" the woman said coldly.

"Then what do you want?" Xu Yan was helpless.

He cursed inwardly, wondering if this woman had some grudge against the Six Six Blood Disciple.

"What do you want with me? Speak!" she said, furrowing her brows as if she was about to teach him a lesson.

"I've discovered that this thing can attract the Wan family's warriors..." Xu Yan took out a Blood Heart Fruit and moved closer, speaking in a low voice.

"I have a grand plan, and I intend to find someone to collaborate with. If we succeed, it will be a great achievement. How about we go inside and discuss it in detail?"

The woman pondered for a while before turning and entering the stone cottage.

Xu Yan followed her in and closed the door.

He began to think about how to assassinate her.

Obviously, she wouldn't allow him to get too close, not even a casual touch on the shoulder. This made it challenging to strike.

"My plan is..." Xu Yan moved closer, and the woman frowned, suddenly raising her hand as if to slap him.

"You're getting more and more arrogan..."

Boom!

At that moment, Xu Yan made his move.

The female Blood Disciple's expression changed as the bloody light surged within her. Just at that moment, a majestic mountain range descended, and the sword light was icy cold. In that instant when Xu Yan unleashed his full power and resumed his true form, the female Blood Disciple's eyes widened in shock as she opened her mouth to sound the alarm.

Boom! As the mountains and rivers contained within the sword trembled violently, it seemed like they would collapse at any moment.

Buzz! Xu Yan's sword slashed out, and the sword intent of cutting off the divine soul, the Kun Wind, was stimulated to its extreme. At the same time, the sword light seemed to have a life of its own as it drilled into the female Blood Disciple's body at a tricky angle.

Puff! Blood spurted out, and in that same instant, a gap was torn in the mountains and rivers within the sword, and a low, miserable scream escaped.

Boom! Xu Yan's expression turned cold, and in the blink of an eye, the sword light engulfed his opponent, annihilating her completely.

However, this underhanded move caused the stone cottage to shake a few times, creating some noise. Xu Yan quickly ransacked everything in the stone cottage, then resumed his disguise as the Six Six Blood Disciple, even creating the illusion of swelling on his left cheek.

Looking a little disheveled, he opened the door of the stone cottage, one hand covering his swollen face, and with an extremely embarrassed expression, he slipped out.

The commotion had already alerted the Blood Disciples in the nearby stone cottages.

"Six Six Blood Disciple, what were you doing in there?"

A skinny Blood Disciple asked in a cold, harsh tone.

"It's none of your business!"

Xu Yan replied gruffly, imitating the Six Six Blood Disciple's manner of speaking.

"That's my woman! How dare you enter her cottage? You're asking for death!"

As a result, the skinny Blood Disciple flew into a rage, his aura erupting as a scarlet long knife appeared in his hand.

Xu Yan was taken aback.

He was about to be exposed! He had to get out of there quickly.

"Your woman is quite something!"

After saying this, Xu Yan quickly flew away from the Abyssal Blood Prison camp.

"You're courting death!"

"Come on then, let our strength do the talking!"

Xu Yan acted as if he were ready to fight with his opponent.

Boom! The skinny Blood Disciple transformed into a streak of bloody light and gave chase, and in no time, the entire camp was in an uproar.

However, Xu Yan remained calm and continued flying away, saying, "Come on, let's fight!"

It was as if he were challenging his opponent to a duel outside the camp.

At this moment, he was still disguised as the Six Six Blood Disciple, and no one suspected that he was an impostor.

"I have to get away from the Blood Child as soon as I leave the camp, and then I can make my escape!"

Xu Yan's heart tightened as he fled.

On the largest stone roof, a figure lifted its head to look at the two fleeing Blood Disciples. Initially, it didn't seem concerned, but then it suddenly realized that something was amiss. The camp was strangely sparse, as if seven out of ten Blood Disciples had vanished into thin air.

With such a huge commotion, all the Blood Disciples should have gathered by now, but in the residential area of the camp, only a handful of Blood Disciples seemed to be watching the spectacle.

"Where is everyone?"

The figure stepped out of the stone cottage and looked at the few Blood Disciples, asking in a deep voice, "Where are the others?"

"Master, we don't know," one of them replied.

The rest of the Blood Disciples were also perplexed. Where had everyone gone?

Xu Yan had already left the Abyssal Blood Prison camp, and his pursuer was about to catch up. He suddenly increased his speed, quickly creating distance between them.

"Six Six, get back here!"

The skinny Blood Disciple roared in anger, his speed also surging.

After leaving the Abyssal Blood Prison far behind, Xu Yan's expression turned cold. With a thought, the sword formation suddenly appeared once again.

"Slash!"

Xu Yan abruptly turned around and slashed with his sword.

Using his divine ability, the Ultimate Sword!

"You're not the Six Six Blood Disciple!" the skinny Blood Disciple exclaimed in horror. A terrifying thought occurred to him: the enemy had managed to infiltrate by impersonating one of them. Had his woman been killed as well?

"You're the one who killed her!" Xu Yan struck, catching his opponent off guard. In that instant, he unleashed all his divine abilities, determined to kill his opponent as quickly as possible.

Boom! The battle was extremely intense. Xu Yan had the advantage of surprise, and his divine ability was more mysterious than his opponent had imagined. In a moment of carelessness, the skinny Blood Disciple lost an arm.

"Who are you?" the skinny Blood Disciple asked in shock. He didn't dare to continue the fight and tried to escape.

"I am Xu Yan, the Sword God!"

Countless sword lights appeared, each one vibrating with a unique sword intent, as if they had a life of their own. They surrounded the skinny Blood Disciple, and the mountains and rivers contained within the sword descended upon him.

Roar! The True Dragon's Fury emerged within the mountains and rivers.

Xu Yan poured all his strength into the attack, taking advantage of his opponent's injury and weakened state.

Puff! Finally, a sword light pierced the opponent's body.

As soon as it entered his body, the sword light seemed to come alive, wandering through his body and not giving him a chance to expel it. In this tug of war, it only took a few breaths before Xu Yan finally slashed his opponent to death with his sword.

"If I hadn't caught him off guard and inflicted heavy injuries, it would have been difficult to defeat him," Xu Yan remarked.

He sighed, acknowledging that even at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, he was still a little lacking. If he could break through to the Divine Image Realm, he would be able to defeat his opponent in direct confrontation.

Boom! Suddenly, a terrifying pillar of bloody light shot into the sky from the direction of the Abyssal Blood Prison, and a powerful aura rushed toward him.

Xu Yan turned and fled! He immediately used his divine ability, Vanishing Without a Trace, and his body disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the grand city at the foot of Snake Peak.

"The Blood Child is attacking!" Xu Yan shouted.

Boom! On top of a tall building, an aura of an Immortal emerged, and an Immortal immediately descended.

"The Blood Child is attacking?" Wan Family Elder asked in surprise.

Could it be that the Abyssal Blood Prison was about to launch a large-scale invasion?

"Yes, I had just plucked a Blood Heart Fruit when I sensed the Blood Child's aura rushing toward me!" Xu Yan nodded as he entered the grand city.

"You managed to get a Blood Heart Fruit?" the Immortal exclaimed happily.

"You despicable and shameless old man, how did you kill my Blood Disciple?" a furious roar echoed in the distance.

Terrifying bloody light swept toward the grand city as the Blood Child raged.

"Wan Family will pay for this!" the Wan Family Elder said, leaving to face the incoming Blood Child.

In the grand city, the many martial artists looked solemn and prepared for battle. The fight between the Blood Child and the Wan Family Elder had begun, more intense than ever before. It seemed like the Blood Child was fighting for his life.

For a while, the Wan Family Elder was caught off guard and struggled to keep up. What puzzled him even more was the Blood Child's accusation. When had he, the elder, destroyed his Blood Disciples?

It was no wonder the Snake Peak Blood Child was so angry. After a thorough investigation, he was shocked to discover that at least seven out of ten of the stone cottages were empty, and the Blood Disciples he had painstakingly cultivated were gone!

The first person he suspected was the Wan Family Elder, as no other martial artist had the strength to do so.

Enraged, the Blood Child had come to exact his revenge.

Seven out of ten! He had directly lost seven out of ten Blood Disciples! What method had the old immortal of the Wan Family used to achieve this?
