Chapter 312 - 166: The Hunt Begins, Martial Venerable Descends the Mountain (2)
The figure that had disappeared earlier was now ghostly standing behind his companion, the terrifying master fighter who crushed his companion’s head with a single palm.
"Teleportation?"
"Form Follows Heart?"
The two were horrified to the extreme, their scalp tingling.
This was not simply a matter of speed being too fast to see. It was a terrifying realm of will power, where the body appears wherever the mind thinks.
How could the will power of the Divine Realm Martial Sect be this perverse? Could it be a Martial Venerable has arrived?
"Escape!"
In a flash, He Jian and Nie Hongtao’s only thought was to flee, as far as possible.
Such terrifying will power, even those at Divine Realm Perfection would face a dead-end.
Bang!
He Jian had only lifted his foot when a fist pierced through his head, instantly a terrifying will power annihilated his Divine Soul.
Wei Fan was like a ghost, appearing behind the first man’s corpse before it even fell.
In the next moment, his figure vanished once more, and when he reappeared, his fist had already crushed Nie Hongtao’s head.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The three late Divine Realm elders of the Blood Cloud Sect, their momentum wasn’t even released before Wei Fan killed them all.
The first transformation of Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations evolved a Divine Soul that granted him unimaginably powerful will power, killing ordinary tellings of the same level was as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs.
Even at this time, many guests in the Tongfu Restaurant hadn’t reacted yet; it was only when they saw the three headless corpses standing that the screams began!
"There’s been a murder!"
"Hurry, report to the officials!"
"Who are you, daring to kill in broad daylight!"
...
The Tongfu Restaurant plunged into chaos, Nie Hongtao’s trio bodies fell one by one, knocking over the surrounding chairs.
Outside the inn, Long Jianying gasped: "This kid is simply invincible. Even if the old man personally took action to kill these three, it wouldn’t be as clean and neat as he did."
The will power of the Divine Realm Martial Sect generally needs to be paired with martial technique, even to integrate martial technique into the Divine Soul for maximum power release, whereas Wei Fan, whose Divine Soul has transformed, can make the most of his will power with a mere gesture.
Long Jianying’s words weren’t to say Wei Fan is stronger than him; the true formidable aspect of a Martial Venerable is its indestructible Golden Body. No matter how mysterious and unfathomable Wei Fan’s will power is, it can’t break a Martial Venerable’s Golden Body and poses no threat.
Zhang Xianlong was shocked: "He just eliminated three Blood Cloud Sect elders, could he have killed the wrong people? Why do I feel those were just ordinary people?"
Long Xueyi shook her head: "No mistake in killing, it was just that his speed was unbelievably fast, the three Blood Cloud Sect elders were killed before they could release their cultivation, giving you the illusion that they were ordinary people!"
Zhang Xianlong certainly knew there was no mistake in killing, as he had provided the hiding place for these three Blood Cloud Sect elders.
However, seeing the late Divine Realm masters crushed like ants by Wei Fan, he entertained the absurd thought of wrong killings.
Long Jianying sighed: "I thought I would have to kill a batch to vent my anger. It seems I don’t need to make a move at all. At this rate, he could probably kill all the Divine Realm powers."
Zhang Xianlong’s heart trembled, knowing it was indeed possible.
As long as his identity is not exposed, Wei Fan can separate and kill anyone with ulterior motives one by one.
In Su City, there are definitely more than twenty Divine Realm Martial Sect powers.
The Suzhou Demon Suppression Bureau only needs to provide the residence points of all known Divine Realm Martial Sect powers, and Wei Fan will visit them one by one, by the time someone reacts, most would have been slaughtered.
Long Jianying’s stratagem was indeed insidious.
It was also because Wei Fan’s strength was terrifying, with no need to release True Power, he instantaneously killed three late Divine Realm Grandmasters using merely physical power and will power.
[Slain He Jian, received 3000 years of Ordinary Power, 30 years of Spirit Soul Power]
[Slain Nie Hongtao, received 3000 years of Ordinary Power, 30 years of Spirit Soul Power]
...
[Ordinary Power: 18,800 years]
[Spirit Soul Power: 120 years]
"These are Demon Fiends of the Blood Cloud Sect, don’t seek unnecessary trouble!"
Wei Fan’s gaze swept across everyone in the restaurant; the system showed no response. He bent down and retrieved the Storage Gourds from Nie Hongtao’s trio before walking away.
Intimidated by his terrifying presence, ultimately no one dared to hinder him, allowing him to leave freely.
As for whether the slain were indeed Demon Fiends of the Blood Cloud Sect, these people didn’t know, but soon the incident was reported to the Demon Suppression Bureau.
"Good boy, ruthless enough!" Long Jianying gave Wei Fan a thumbs-up.
Slaying three at once, Wei Fan showed no reaction at all.
Wei Fan gave a smile, responding to Long Jianying, then looked at Zhang Xianlong: "Next one!"
"Follow me!"
Zhang Xianlong led the way forward: "The next target is Longhua Wanderer and his friend!"
Long Jianying’s eyes twinkled: "That old brute has come too?"
He knew of Longhua Wanderer, although this person wasn’t surnamed Long, he lived in Longhua County, Tongzhou and was a renowned late Divine Realm free traveler in the Jianghu, earning the moniker Longhua Wanderer.
This person had a bad reputation in Tongzhou Martial World, you wouldn’t see him when Demons were to be killed, but he’d be the first to arrive when any treasures appeared in Jianghu, because he often robbed and killed for treasures or martial arts, having killed many Jianghu people.
However, the Demon Bureau doesn’t deal with martial affairs, so he’s never been stopped.
Zhang Xianlong nodded: "Not only has he arrived, but he also invited a famous free traveler from Liangzhou, Chen Zhizhang. Together they secretly infiltrated the Demon Suppression Bureau seeking Wei Fan’s whereabouts, but were finally driven away by Elder Huo."
Meanwhile, in the Blood Cloud Sect’s main hall secret room.
The profound iron-forged door slowly opens, and a figure shrouded in evil qi steps out from within the secret room.
He didn’t know how many he’s killed, the evil qi on him seemed to congeal into substance, like a golden cast body, emanating two different colors.
Two-Colored Golden Body!
He is the Blood Venerable!
The Sect Leader of the Blood Cloud Sect!
His true name isn’t known by many in Jianghu.
Most people’s impressions of him are brutal; he once slaughtered two villages to practice a secret technique, and despite countless sieges by the Demon Suppression Bureau, he survived well.
"Disciple greets Sect Leader!"
As Blood Venerable exited the secret room, disciples waiting outside knelt together.
Soon, someone approached carrying toiletries to clean him, arrange his hair, and dress him in a red silk robe.
"Any news of the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill?"
Blood Venerable’s booming voice resounded, akin to a great bell, causing vegetation around to tremble, those serving him showed discomfort.
"Reporting to Sect Leader, latest news indicates Wei Fan has yet to appear."
Blood Venerable frowned slightly.
He himself only possesses a Two-Colored Golden Body; unexpectedly, his lifetime will be stuck at the Martial Venerable Realm. Only by relying on Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, such an Unusual Skill, can he enhance his Golden Body to three or even four colors, hoping to break through the Martial Venerable Realm.
"These good-for-nothing Nie Hongtao, can’t even find a person?"
Unable to resist cursing, coercion and enticement, capturing and threatening family—should these things all be taught by oneself?
"Sect Leader, oh no!"
Suddenly a paniced voice echoed, a Blood Cloud Sect disciple rushed in and knelt before Blood Venerable, trembling: "Sect Leader, just now Nie Hongtao’s and He Jian’s three elders’ Soul Tokens broke..."
Blood Venerable’s eyes released cold light: "What did you say?"
Boom!
A brilliant golden light exploded from him, and in an instant, everyone around was turned to ash by the terrifying golden radiance.
"These trash, to seize one Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, do I have to act personally!"
He wasn’t pained by Nie Hongtao’s death; it’s that with their deaths, he had to personally seek the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill.
"Could it be Wei Fan has appeared?"
With a thought, Blood Venerable soared like a great bird, disappearing from the Blood Cloud Sect’s main hall in a step.
"Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, this seat must obtain it!"
