The sudden turn of events stunned everyone. No one expected that the disciple's angry words would cost him his life, and even more so that Wang Xingchen would dare to kill him!
"Li Yun!"
A disciple roared in anger.
Tang Yiming, Chu Yuechan, and the rest came to their senses and looked at Qin Yu. Chu Xiong also came to his senses. His eyes were filled with anger and killing intent as he stared at Qin Yu, the heavy sword in his hand clanging.
The person Qin Yu killed was one of his Seven Star Condensation Formations. Killing one person meant that his Seven Star Condensation Formations would not be able to display its full power. This was a fatal blow to Chu Xiong!
The other six disciples drew their weapons and glared at Qin Yu, wishing they could grind Qin Yu's bones to dust.
Qin Yu ignored everyone's killing intent and slowly walked to Li Yun's corpse. He pulled out his battle spear, causing blood to spurt out. Qin Yu looked at Qin Yu and said indifferently, "One death is nothing to you, right?" With that, Qin Yu gripped his battle spear and walked towards Chi Xiao.
The killing intent in Chu Xiong's eyes stagnated. Qin Yu's words were undoubtedly saying, "One death is nothing to you, Chu Xiong. After all, there are still others. But if you still want to fight, I'll accompany you at any time. At that time, it won't be as simple as one death."
"Senior Brother Chu, kill him to avenge Li Yun!" A disciple couldn't help but roar. If not for waiting for Chu Xiong's response, he would have already rushed forward.
The scene was on the verge of erupting.
Chu Xiong's face was gloomy as he struggled and weighed the pros and cons in his heart. He raised his left hand to stop that disciple and glanced at Chi Xiao in the distance. He gnashed his teeth and said, "The monk can run, but the temple can't. I won't let the matter of Li Yun go!
But not now!
Remember our purpose in coming here.
A little impatience spoils great plans! "
Without a doubt, Chu Xiong was also on the verge of exploding at this moment. It wasn't because of Li Yun's death, but because of Qin Yu's provocation and threat. However, for the sake of the item in the depths, he had no choice but to endure it. He also had no choice but to appease the other disciples. Otherwise, his status would be greatly reduced.
The meaning behind his words was, "Everything can wait until the trial is over."
Sure enough, the other disciples forcefully suppressed their anger. If they were to fight now, it would be fine if it was only Wang Xingchen, but Chi Xiao was eyeing covetously from the side. Once they fought, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, they wouldn't have the confidence to enter the depths.
The silent Chu Yuechan watched Qin Yu slowly leave with a strange look in her eyes. She was kind-hearted and inexperienced, but that didn't mean that she was ignorant.
Chu Yuechan naturally understood Chu Xiong. Although Chu Xiong was easy-going, he was extremely scheming. She didn't expect that Wang Xingchen would not only kill an important disciple in front of Chu Xiong, but also be able to escape unscathed. This made Chu Yuechan astonished. Wang Xingchen had probably seen through many things and calculated that Chu Xiong would be the one to kill him in front of him.
This was a scheming person.
However, Chu Yuechan was particularly disgusted by Li Yun's scolding of Chu Xiong's parents.
Tang Yiming looked at the departing Qin Yu in astonishment. He didn't expect that this unknown Wang Xingchen would be able to make Chu Xiong, who was ranked ninth on the Heaven's Chosen List, suffer. It seemed that Wang Xingchen wasn't simple and was even accepted as a disciple by an expert in the sect. Otherwise, why would he dare to provoke Chu Xiong?
Tang Yiming, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt Chu Xiong's gaze on him. He was startled and instantly thought of something. However, he didn't hesitate and nodded slightly in response.
Immediately, Chu Xiong cast a sinister glance at the departing Qin Yu and his gaze landed on the two disciples who were with Tang Yiming!
Qin Yu didn't think too much about the thoughts of Chu Xiong and the rest. He wasn't an impulsive person and could even tacitly admit that he was being schemed against. However, once his reverse scale was touched, Qin Yu's counterattack would undoubtedly be thorough and clean.
Chi Xiao watched Qin Yu slowly walking over. His expression was still calm, but there was a smile and admiration in his eyes.
One wrong word and blood will splatter!
As expected of Master's disciple.
If it was before, Chi Xiao only had a suspicious attitude. However, now, he was almost certain that Wang Xingchen was Master's disciple. His temperament was comparable to Master's!
All these years, Chi Xiao didn't have any friends. It wasn't that he thought highly of himself and looked down on others. Instead, Chi Xiao's character was influenced by Lie Ao. His character was extreme, cold and arrogant, and he was a loner. If it weren't for Lie Yan, Chi Xiao wouldn't have taken the initiative to invite Qin Yu.
Then, Chi Xiao cast an indifferent glance at Qin Yu and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll change my mind at the last minute?"
Qin Yu looked at Chi Xiao and chuckled. "Could it be that if someone touches Senior Brother Chi's reverse scale, Senior Brother Chi will tolerate it because of the situation?"
"Kill!"
Chi Xiao replied without thinking. However, the moment the words left his mouth, he was stunned. He looked at Qin Yu and said, "Let's go."
Before he finished speaking, Chi Xiao turned into a flame and rushed into the depths of the forbidden area alone. It was as if he was testing Qin Yu's strength.
Qin Yu followed closely behind. However, the pressure he faced increased sharply. The high temperature in the air had already caused the Fire Avoidance Pill to gradually lose its effect.
A disciple watched Qin Yu leave and couldn't help but say resentfully, "Traitor! When we leave the trial grounds, I'll definitely kill him!"
Chu Xiong didn't say anything. He stared at Qin Yu with flickering eyes. Tang Yiming glanced at Chu Xiong and took the opportunity to say, "Junior Brothers, let me introduce you. This is Luo Xiao and Wu Zhe. You guys should get used to each other. We'll also push forward with all our strength."
When the high temperature of the space melted away the medicinal efficacies of the Fire Avoidance Pill, wisps of dark flames began to emerge from Qin Yu's body. Before, Qin Yu had been hiding the fact that he possessed the Swamp Fire, but now that he faced Chi Xiao, there was no need to hide it.
When the two of them reached the depths of the forbidden area, Chi Xiao stopped. His upper body was still naked, as if the high temperature had no effect on him.
"Here, drink it!" Chi Xiao looked at the boiling space in front of him and took out a green wooden gourd, handing it to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu received it. Just as he removed the wooden cork, a bloody aura rushed towards him. Feeling the power of fire within the green wooden gourd, Qin Yu whispered, "Many thanks."
"Find a place to cultivate. I'll come find you in half a month." Chi Xiao finished speaking and went deeper into the forbidden area alone.
Qin Yu revealed a smile under his mask. It seemed that Chi Xiao really thought of him as Lie Ao's disciple. However, Lie Ao had his own rules. It was reasonable to say that he could be considered half a disciple.
Suppressing his thoughts, Qin Yu found a secluded place and covered his body with the Swamp Fire to resist the high temperature. Then, Qin Yu began to drink the blood of the fierce beasts that Chi Xiao collected.
It had to be said that most of the blood collected by Chi Xiao was at the peak of the Fourth Order. The power of fire contained within was exceptionally rich.
As the blood flowed into his stomach, the Swamp Fire crazily devoured the power of fire. The blood contained within the blood was absorbed by Qin Yu's body!
The green wooden gourd was ten times bigger than Qin Yu's Jasper Gourd. More than half of the blood inside was like a small lake. It was unknown how many fierce beasts Chi Xiao had killed to collect so much blood.
When Qin Yu had swallowed one-tenth of the blood, the Swamp Fire was like a bottomless pit, crazily devouring the blood.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. Including the blood he collected from the fierce beasts, the Swamp Fire could be said to have absorbed close to fifty fierce beasts' blood. The power of fire contained within should be enough for the Swamp Fire to drink until it was full.
Moreover, what made Qin Yu feel even more incredulous was that the Swamp Fire's appearance did not change at all. Even its size remained the size of a fist, but its power had reached a peak.
"I'd like to see how much more you can absorb!" Qin Yu drank in large mouthfuls.
When more than half of the green wooden gourd's blood was drunk, there was still no change.
When the green wooden gourd's blood was almost empty, Qin Yu's body was surrounded by a terrifying aura. The power of blood condensed in his body had reached a peak. If he did not digest it quickly, his body would explode and he would die.
However, although the Swamp Fire's appearance did not change, Qin Yu could feel that the Swamp Fire's power had reached a peak, and there were signs of it transforming.
"Go all out!" Qin Yu gritted his teeth and drank the blood in the green wooden gourd in one gulp!
Qin Yu's body slowly expanded, and the powerful power of blood was about to burst out of his body. To Qin Yu's relief, the Swamp Fire finally left his abdomen and returned to his dantian. It seemed that it had absorbed enough power of fire!
"Not good, this power of blood is too strong!"
Qin Yu directly used the First Transformation of the Berserk Demon to burn the power of blood in his body.
However, he was not injured, and the burning speed of the First Transformation of the Berserk Demon was extremely slow!
"No, if I can't digest this power of blood in a short time, my body will really explode!
If Chi Xiao was here, it would be fine. As long as he attacked crazily, he would be able to consume a large amount of energy, but now …
"Forget it, I'll use this power to break through to the second stage of Heaven Tempering and condense the Blood Pearl!"
The Blood Pearl was the symbol of stepping into the second stage of Heaven Tempering. This was the embryonic form of the third stage of Heaven Tempering, and the Blood Pearl was the embryonic form of the Spiritual Infant.
Generally speaking, Heaven Tempering was particular about two methods. One was to use the power of heaven and earth to refine the Blood Pearl. When the power of heaven and earth was refined to a certain extent, a drop of Blood Pearl would condense in the body.
The other was to use the power of blood to refine the body, which could also condense a Blood Pearl!
Although there were two methods to step into the second stage of Heaven Tempering, most people would choose the first method, which was to use the power of heaven and earth to refine the body. This was also to lay a good foundation for future cultivation. This way, it would be easier to condense the Blood Pearl, and finally break through to the Spiritual Infant Tier.
Using the power of blood had its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that it could shorten the speed of stepping into the second stage of Heaven Tempering. The disadvantage was that it would be more difficult to cultivate in the future, such as breaking through to the Spiritual Infant Tier or stepping into the Heaven Tier. This was because the impurities in the blood of Vicious Beasts had to be refined out.
Therefore, no one would affect their future cultivation for the sake of a short period of cultivation speed.
"Wait!"
"In ancient times, bloodlines were refined from the blood of Vicious Beasts. Then, can I condense a Blood Pearl with the bloodline?
For example, the Yazi Bloodline? "
Before he obtained the Yazi Bloodline, Qin Yu would only use the blood of Vicious Beasts to raise his cultivation to the peak of the first stage of Heaven Tempering, and then use the power of heaven and earth to refine a Blood Pearl.
However, after obtaining the blood of Vicious Beasts that contained the Yazi Bloodline, Qin Yu had this crazy idea.
"If I don't succeed, at most my future cultivation progress will be a little slower, but if I succeed, I will obtain the Yazi Bloodline and use the second transformation of Madness, Bloodline Change!
More importantly, in time, I can use the Yazi Bloodline to condense a Dragon Sword! "
"A Dragon Sword that contains the power of the ancient Ancestral Dragon!"
Qin Yu's eyes shone with a determined light, and he took out the blood of Vicious Beasts that contained the Yazi Bloodline without hesitation.
