109: Clean up the deputy peak master and elders

Yang Huanzi and Xie Jingang were so terrified they quickly turned around, but the next moment, before they could even speak, Heartless blasted them to the ground with a single palm strike.

Even though they possessed defensive Magic Treasures, they were reduced to fragments under this palm strike.

"Pfft..."

Yang Huanzi and Xie Jingang were filled with immense terror. They felt great regret at this moment—why did they return to the Sect!

Just as Heartless was preparing to deliver another palm strike to transcend the two, Jiang Yan hurriedly ran out.

"Monk, leave these two to me. I'll help you extract their Golden Cores!" Jiang Yan said with a smile.

Heartless pressed his palms together and spoke in a flat tone, "Amitabha. Thank you for your trouble, Benefactor Jiang. When the time comes, This humble monk will surely recite a passage of the 'Rebirth Sutra' for them!"

Heartless did not have Jiang Yan's butcher-like methods, nor did he know how to extract others' Golden Cores. But since Jiang Yan was willing to help, such butcher's work was naturally left to Jiang Yan.

Yang Huanzi and Xie Jingang looked at Jiang Yan in shock. They didn't recognize this Disciple at all, yet he was wearing the attire of their Blood Cloud Sect.

"Disciple, we surely have no grievances between us. Let us go, and we will give you all our resources," Yang Huanzi hurriedly said.

"Yes, we are just Elders and have no real power in the Blood Cloud Sect," Xie Jingang echoed.

A chilling smile appeared at the corners of Jiang Yan's mouth. The Talisman in his left hand burned, and without giving the two another chance to speak, he punched directly at Yang Huanzi.

"Puchi!"

The heavily injured Yang Huanzi just wanted to flee, but his chest was pierced through by Jiang Yan's fist.

"Puchi!"

Jiang Yan threw another punch, directly ripping out Yang Huanzi's Golden Core.

As blood flowed, Yang Huanzi's corpse collapsed limply to the ground. He couldn't understand how the other party could precisely extract his Golden Core.

[Killed Core Formation Level 1 Cultivator Yang Huanzi. Gained Experience: 38,000. Gained life span: 2,198 years. Gained life span: 4,027 years.]

[Current Experience: 5.98%]

[Plundered 1.2 essence from Yang Huanzi.]

[Plundered Yang Huanzi's Intermediate Spell: Nether Blood Technique.]

[Plundered Yang Huanzi's Intermediate Martial Skill: Blood Shattering Punch.]

Seeing Yang Huanzi's Golden Core actually being extracted, Xie Jingang shouted angrily, "I would rather self-..."

"Puchi!"

Before Xie Jingang could finish his sentence, Jiang Yan's fist lunged through.

"I... am... unwilling..."

Xie Jingang died before he could even finish his words, but the tears by his eyes showed his utter resentment.

[Killed Core Formation Level 2 Cultivator Xie Jingang. Gained Experience: 39,000. Gained life span: 2,302 years. Gained life span: 4,097 years.]

[Plundered Xie Jingang's Intermediate Spell: Blood Datura Flower Bloom.]

[Plundered Xie Jingang's Intermediate Martial Skill: Blood Buddha Palm.]

Jiang Yan tossed the two Golden Cores to Heartless and said, "There are still four Core Formation Realm Peak Revered Masters. They should be back soon."

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together and said flatly, "In that case, I will have to trouble Benefactor Jiang."

Jiang Yan smiled and waved his hand. "This is all what the Great Master deserves. After all, the one who slaughtered the Blood Cloud Sect is you, Great Master."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Heartless shook his head with a smile. He knew exactly what Jiang Yan meant.

However, he had only transcended those who deserved it. As for Disciples below the Foundation Establishment Realm, he hadn't touched a single one.

Seeing that Heartless didn't respond, Jiang Yan slowly flew high into the sky and shouted to the Qi Blood Realm Disciples fleeing on the outskirts, "The Blood Cloud Sect has been wiped out today by the Buddha Son of the Dragon Elephant Temple. You are being allowed to escape only because you haven't committed too much slaughter. The Buddha Son orders you to seek refuge in other famous Great Sects."

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together, his tone filled with resentment. "Benefactor Jiang, what are you doing? This humble monk only..."

Jiang Yan hurriedly interrupted, "Great Master, I know your character is noble and that you are truly a Reincarnation of a true Buddha. Don't decline."

Heartless was speechless. He felt that Jiang Yan was deliberately making him take the blame for slaughtering the Sect.

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together, closed his eyes, and began to recite the 'Calming Heart Incantation'.

Hearing "All living beings have troubles, and all troubles are suffering. Troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure..." Jiang Yan chuckled inwardly. As long as he wasn't the one taking the blame, even if the Blood Fiend Sect came later, they wouldn't be able to settle the score with him. After all, it was the monk Heartless who did it.

When the remaining Disciples of the Blood Cloud Sect heard that the Buddha Son of the Dragon Elephant Temple had destroyed their Sect, they scattered in all directions. After all, even the Peak Revered Masters had been suppressed. If they continued to watch, it would be a provocation to the Buddha Son's authority.

As time passed, Jiang Yan and the others finally waited for the return of two Vice Peak Masters and five Elders.

Under Heartless's suppression, the seven had no power to resist. Besides the two Vice Peak Masters whose Golden Cores were extracted by Jiang Yan, the other five Elders were also slaughtered by him.

Just as Jiang Yan killed Liu Changqing, his body underwent an instantaneous change. Feeling this abnormal physical transformation, he immediately suppressed the power of his boiling Bloodline. After all, successive physical evolutions would be too shocking, so he couldn't let Heartless and the others know.

Heartless glanced at Jiang Yan. He had clearly felt something just now, but it disappeared in the next moment.

Was it an illusion?

As the sun set, the last two Vice Peak Masters finally rushed back. Among the five Elders with them, Fang Yu and the Old Man were included.

Seeing the ruined walls of the Sect, Blood Refiner and the others were shocked. They had only gone out to erase the traces of the Blood Cloud Sect. How could it have become like this upon their return?

Just as Blood Refiner wanted to demand loudly who had done it, a small monk in moon-white robes suddenly appeared before him.

"Buddha Son Heartless!" Blood Refiner exclaimed in shock.

"Amitabha. Benefactor Blood, it has been a long time." Heartless pressed his palms together, his tone calm. "Does Benefactor Blood remember the matter of killing five of my Junior Brothers eight years ago?"

*Gulp.* Blood Refiner swallowed hard. How could he remember such things? The number of "bald donkeys" who had died by his hand was at least fifty, if not a hundred.

"Amitabha. It seems Benefactor Blood has forgotten. Then This humble monk shall help you recover your memory."

After saying that, Heartless sent a "Buddha Palm" directly to suppress Blood Refiner.

Blood Refiner didn't react at all; even his defensive Magic Treasures were only activated passively.

*Bang!*

A huge palm print descended from the sky, suppressing Blood Refiner directly into the ground. Immediately, Blood Refiner's agonized screams were heard.

Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, and he complained inwardly: 'Fine, I really thought you treated everyone equally, but you just went and crippled his four limbs.'

Seeing Blood Refiner's miserable state, the Old Man and the others retreated in fear. They didn't dare to step forward to fight this Buddha Son because of his terrifying strength—even if there were a hundred more of them, they wouldn't be a match for a single palm strike from him.

"Run!" Fang Yu didn't hesitate and shouted as he tried to flee.

But before they could even flee five meters, their path was blocked by Jiang Yan and Heartless.

"Kid, are you a Disciple of my Blood Cloud Sect?" Fang Yu asked, looking at Jiang Yan.

He felt that the clothes Jiang Yan was wearing looked very familiar, as if he saw them often.

"Sigh, it really is a case of 'the Revered Master stays the same while the Disciples come and go like flowing water'." Jiang Yan lamented pretentiously, then rolled up his sleeve.

Seeing the character "Su" and the golden petal on his chest, Fang Yu shouted in shock, "You are Su Chen?!"

"Oh? It seems Revered Master still remembers this Disciple," Jiang Yan teased with a smile.

"Are you a monk of the Dragon Elephant Temple?" Fang Yu asked in shock.

Jiang Yan glanced at Heartless and then gave a smile as if looking at an idiot. "Sigh, your brain really isn't enough. Forget it, I can't be bothered to explain. I'll send you all down now."

Fang Yu was dazed, but at the same time, he showed a disdainful smile. In his opinion, although he couldn't beat the Buddha Son of the Dragon Elephant Temple, dealing with Su Chen would be easy... "Puchi!"

Just as he thought it would be easy, his expression instantly froze on his face. He looked at his chest in disbelief; it was already empty.

"You... why... are you so strong..."

Blood splattered as Fang Yu slowly fell from mid-air to the ground. He couldn't believe even in death that in just two short years, Su Chen had become strong enough to kill him in an instant.

[Killed Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator Fang Yu. Gained Experience: 35,000. Gained life span: 2,012 years. Gained life span: 3,815 years.]

[Current Experience: 27.95%]

[Plundered 1 essence from Fang Yu.]

[Plundered Fang Yu's Intermediate Spell: Blood Nightmare Heart-Seeding Technique.]

[Plundered Fang Yu's Intermediate Martial Skill: Overlapping Blade Phantom.]

The Old Man and the others were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that the Su Chen Fang Yu spoke of had actually become this powerful.

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together and said indifferently, "Next, This humble monk shall send you down to accompany Benefactor Blood."

As Heartless's voice fell, five streaks of golden light flashed before the Old Man and the other four. Immediately after, the five of them seemed to lose control of their bodies and fell directly to the ground.

The Old Man and the other four spat out blood, their faces pale as if they had been targeted by some great terror.

Jiang Yan went to Fang Yu's corpse, picked up his two Storage Pouches, and walked toward Blood Refiner.
