CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: BLOOD RIVER SCRIPTURE

"It’s late at night, time to go back and rest."

Ye Qingzhou sheathed his sword, but just as he stepped out of the park, every hair on his body stood on end as if engulfed in wild flames, making his spirit instantly tense.

There’s danger!

Whoa~

The sound of waves crashing came to his ears, followed by the appearance of a bloody moon and eerie winds, even the quiet park started to whisper somber ghostly voices.

Ye Qingzhou halted, only to see scarlet blood engulfing his ankles.

The surrounding trees were no longer lush but had turned withered and sinister, reaching out to him as if trying to swallow him whole.

If it were a normal person facing such a bizarre scene, their very soul would probably flee in terror.

"Ha, Confucius said not to speak of strange powers and chaotic spirits."

Ye Qingzhou’s mind was as steadfast as steel, unmoved by the illusions before him: "Mere Spiritual Illusion Technique, break for me!"

With a thought, Sword Intent surged through the forest, the sword light dazzling like the sun and moon in the sky, illuminating three feet around Ye Qingzhou’s Spiritual Platform.

When he opened his eyes again, the bloody moon and crimson waters were gone, it was just the same peaceful park as before.

Only now, a strange silhouette appeared within his sight.

The person approached slowly, surrounded by a red Blood Evil Qi, without uttering a word, yet filled Ye Qingzhou with intense malice and killing intent.

"To escape from the Boundless Blood Hell of the Spiritual Illusion Realm, your will is exceptionally strong. Previously, I would have eagerly invited you to join our organization. But your mistake was killing my only brother."

"Die!"

Ting~

As soon as the words left his mouth, a blade light emerged, slicing through the air, roaring towards him.

Ye Qingzhou seemed to see a bizarre and hypnotic blood moon rise before him, then descending from the skies towards him in a distant slash.

The dazzling Blade Qi, seemed far off in the horizon.

Yet when he returned to his senses, it was already right in front of him.

"Spiritual Suppression!"

Ye Qingzhou instantly understood his opponent’s martial arts characteristics, lifted his hand for a sword strike, a sharp Sword Qi transformed into a Jiao Dragon, soared upwards directly at the fatal "Blood Moon" before him.

As the sword and blade clashed, the resounding sound seemed to pierce the eardrums, the fierce wind swept across the park, rustling the camphor trees, scattering leaves everywhere.

Upon confrontation, Ye Qingzhou felt overwhelmed: ’Entry Level High-Tier Martial Technique!’

"To withstand my strike, not bad skills."

Blood Wolf Zhan Lie, seeking revenge for his brother, after one failed attack, resorted to using the High-Tier Martial Technique from the "Blood River Scripture".

In an instant, Ye Qingzhou saw layers upon layers of blood shadows, Zhan Lie at this moment transformed into a three-headed six-armed demon, the savage and cruel blood-colored blade light seemed ready to completely engulf Ye Qingzhou.

High-Tier Martial Technique, Blood Shadow Remnant Heart!

Fierce attacks interspersed with mental disturbance.

The "Blood River Scripture" is a notorious evil tome amongst the Heart Evil Stream, practitioners would convert their Martial Arts True Qi into Blood Evil Qi.

This Blood Evil Qi embodies human evil thoughts, fusing into blood, capable of not only corroding the opponent’s body but also polluting the enemy’s spirit and will, a truly terrifying martial art.

Clang clang clang~

Facing Zhan Lie’s relentless assault, although Ye Qingzhou was on the brink of death, he remained calm and composed, his Sword Heart sharpened even brighter.

Pan Guard!

Overlapping Waves!

Fast and Slow Sword!

The three Mid-Tier Martial Techniques in Ye Qingzhou’s hands turned decay into magic, intertwining with inner breath changes, forcefully resisting the opponent’s High-Tier Martial Technique Blood Shadow Remnant Heart.

Even during the brief gap when Zhan Lie’s old force depleted and new force hadn’t risen, he launched a counterattack.

Soaring Step in the Air!

Snow-Covered Ground!

Followed by a powerful Six Forms Unification Dragon-Shaped Sword Qi Slash!

Wind’s Inner Breath turned into a white Jiao Dragon soaring upwards, bathing in crimson fire clouds, claws heavy as mountains, scales flourishing like a forest, inhaling shadow, exhaling thunder!

Six Forms Unification, Jiao Dragon’s Appearance!

Dragon’s Roar accompanied by sharp Sword Roar, carrying boundless momentum, directly targeting Zhan Lie.

Boom~

With just one strike, Zhan Lie slipped, lost his footing unable to dodge, was hit directly.

He was slashed with blood flowing all over, seven deep sword scars visible to the bone.

"Good Swordsmanship! With such Sword Skill, your talent is indeed astonishing, no wonder Little Hong died by your hand. Unfortunately, you can’t kill me."

Zhan Lie sneered, standing up again.

He activated the Fire Technique, contracting muscles to clench the wound, instantly stopping the bleeding, the flesh even started to slowly heal under the nourishment of True Qi.

"My Martial Bone is complete, unafraid of your sword techniques, and I only need one strike to kill you."

Zhan Lie achieved Great Success in Fire and Yin techniques, combined with Professional Sixth Rank cultivation, and his Lone Wolf Frenzy Bone being one of the Bone Forging Secret Techniques within the Heart Evil Stream.

After forging, not only is it as hard as iron but can also resonate with Fire Technique, boosting strength.

The more injured, the stronger the power, hence the name Lone Wolf!

"Die for me!"

Blood Evil Qi burned fiercely, a blood moon appeared above Zhan Lie’s head, under the eerie red moonlight he transformed into a monster.

His muscles bulged, fangs emerged at the corners of his mouth, Qi and blood surged endlessly within, the immense strength even twisted the surrounding air.

High-Tier Martial Technique, Blood Pool Moon Reflection!

Using his physique to bear the Blood Evil Qi, exchanging for immense explosive power.

For revenge, Zhan Lie took the risk with a life-threatening strategy!

He had little time, had to kill Ye Qingzhou before the Martial Arts Association enforcement team reacted!

Facing Zhan Lie, an unprecedented formidable opponent, Ye Qingzhou was not afraid nor panicked, but rather filled with excitement in his eyes, with a slow smile curling on his lips.

A new technique formed, just worried not finding someone to test the sword.

You want battle, I will battle!

Thump~

Thump thump~

Thump thump thump~

Ye Qingzhou’s heart began to beat powerfully, as if drums were sounding at the front lines, advancing in high spirits, the sound echoed through the sky.

The moment his body unlocked its restraints, from the Sea of Qi surged forth images of dragons and tigers leaping.

Inner Breath flowed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians like a great river, with vigorous momentum, ceaselessly fueling Dantian, the "engine".

First Gear!

Ye Qingzhou’s body entered into Overclocking Mode, breaking limits!

Surging Inner Breath rampaged inside, granting him instant power comparable to and even surpassing that of a Professional Level Martial Artist.

Six Forms Unification, Jiao Dragon’s Appearance!

Ye Qingzhou with Mind as Still as Water, merely from past observations, successfully mimicked Zhan Lie’s martial techniques, integrating Heart Sword Secret Technique, adding Spiritual Suppression to Dragon-Shaped Sword Qi Slash.

With a slash, not only was the Sword Qi fierce, but Sword Intent was imposing.

Upon taking the strike, Zhan Lie’s spirit realm was instantly split by the grand Sword Intent piercing through time, his mind crumbled, will extinguished.

"Impossible! How could your Sword Intent be this strong!"

Facing death, Zhan Lie let out a frantic and desperate howl.

Unknown to him, Ye Qingzhou reincarnated twice, having inherited Heart Sword Secret Technique, his Sword Heart being polished to flawless perfection.

After witnessing the spiritual erosion techniques from "Blood River Scripture", Ye Qingzhou realized the fusion skill between Heart Sword and sword techniques, naturally elevating his strength.

Zhan Lie’s body crashed down, lacking lethal wounds and even biologically alive, but his inner will and soul were obliterated by Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Intent, leaving nothing but a walking corpse.
