76: Jiang Yan, who was underestimated, was beaten to the point of being bankrupt.

In the Blood Spirit Secret Realm, half an hour had already passed since the realm opened.

Jiang Yan had brought out a lounge chair and was sitting in the central resource area of the Secret Realm, with his back to Yu Kejiao, Tang Yu, and the others, while facing Jiang Qiong, Lü Dong, and the other Ten Victories Blood Disciples.

He was quite helpless at the moment because he had been dropped right into this spot as soon as he was teleported in.

His original plan was to pick off lagging Blood Sons with Ye Qingfeng, but Ye Qingfeng was nowhere to be found. Instead, he had become the easy target that was lagging behind.

At first, he had briefly fought Tang Yu, Chen Feng, and a few others. These people were indeed powerful, and it was difficult for him to easily kill Blood Sons with seven or eight victories.

But as the fighting continued, things felt off. Most of the Blood Sons were rushing toward this location. Only later did he realize that the place he had been teleported to was actually the resource center of the Secret Realm!

“Jiang Qiong, Lord Ye hasn't arrived yet. Do you think we should deal with this kid first, or start moving the various resources?” asked Lu Xing, an eleven-victory Blood Son.

Jiang Qiong remained silent, lost in thought. He was currently afraid that if he attacked Su Chen, the others would take the opportunity to sneak attack him.

“Tang Yu, since Jiang Qiong can't make up his mind, you should know how to choose, right?” asked Zhou Ling, a nine-victory Blood Son.

“Besides Lord Ye, Zhang Zhilin and Hu Jian haven't arrived yet either. Don't you think there's something fishy going on?” Tang Yu countered Zhou Ling.

One must know that Zhang Zhilin was also a nine-victory Blood Son, just like Zhou Ling, and they were teammates. The fact that he hadn't arrived after so long already indicated a problem.

Jiang Yan didn't care what they were talking about. If they tried to gang up on him, he would definitely run. After all, every second he spent here required him to force himself to stay calm.

“I told you before, but you didn't believe me. What am I supposed to do now?” Jiang Yan sighed with some annoyance.

“Su Chen, you're currently just meat on the chopping block. No one will believe your words,” Su Linglong said.

Jiang Yan shrugged noncommittally, but inside he was panicking, because Su Linglong was the person here who knew his background best.

When this girl arrived, she had just been watching from below. When nothing was happening, she would dig up resources, as if she were just here to pass the time.

Jiang Yan looked disdainful and beckoned to Su Linglong with his finger. “Little girl, if you don't speak, nobody will think you're mute. If you have the guts, come over here yourself and see if I don't beat you up.”

“Tch, do you think this Blood Son is a fool?” Su Linglong’s expression was arrogant and her tone provocative. “If you have the ability, come and catch me. If you actually dare to do that, I’ll truly respect you.”

Seeing the central resource area fall into a stalemate, Chen Feng nodded to Su Qingyan.

Su Qingyan began to collect resources as if no one else were there. This action seemed to instantly ignite the flames of war.

Jiang Qiong and Lü Dong targeted Jiang Yan directly, while Yu Kejiao and Tang Yu charged toward Lu Xing.

Since Ye Qingfeng was not present, Lu Xing was the strongest, so they had to forcibly wear him down.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling no longer hesitated and immediately chose to help Su Chen. After all, Su Chen's threat was far smaller than that of the two Ten Victories Blood Disciples.

As the chaotic battle broke out, Qiu Yueshuang, Su Linglong, Su Qingyan, and others also immediately began mining resources.

Although the Blood Son Battle was exceptionally cruel, it was incredibly difficult to actually kill a Blood Son. Therefore, the safest method was to mine resources.

Jiang Yan was currently being attacked from both front and back. He never imagined that two Ten Victories Blood Disciples would actually list him as their primary target for elimination.

“Damn it, if you keep fighting like this, you're really going to have to pay me for mental distress!” Jiang Yan angrily parried Lü Dong's attack.

Jiang Yan retreated rapidly, but his back slammed into another sharp Sword Qi—it was Jiang Qiong's 'Blood-Severing Slash' tearing through the air!

He twisted his body violently. His robes were torn open by the Sword Qi, and the defensive Talisman at his waist instantly burned to ashes.

“You're all fucking psychos!” Jiang Yan blocked Lü Dong's gilded mace with a kick and flicked out three Lightning Flash Talismans with his backhand.

Amidst the flashing lightning, he caught a glimpse of Qiu Yueshuang in the distance digging up an entire Spirit Medicine garden along with the soil, while Su Qingyan split open a mineral vein barrier with a single sword strike.

'Holy shit, they're a bunch of animals!'

Jiang Yan had seen robbers and killers, but he had never seen people snatching resources like this!

In the moment he was dazed, Jiang Qiong's bone whip wrapped around his left leg like a poisonous snake. Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and threw out an Escape Talisman.

“A bunch of psychos!”

As Jiang Yan's voice fell, his body instantly turned into green smoke, only to be forced back into his original form ten feet away by a Space-Locking Array that Lü Dong had set up in advance.

“Hehe, kid, I know you have many tricks. You won't escape this time.” Lü Dong grinned hideously as he sacrificed a blood-colored soul tablet, and over a hundred vengeful souls hissed out.

Jiang Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a look of disdain. Then, he suddenly pulled out a greasy pig's trotter and took a bite. “Fine, once I've eaten my fill, I'll make you both lose everything down to your underwear!”

As his voice fell, he slammed the pig's trotter in his hand toward the array eye above. In that seemingly ridiculous movement, a dozen Talismans were hidden.

“Boom! Boom! Boom...”

A dozen consecutive explosions directly shattered the eye of the Space-Locking Array, and the array trapping Jiang Yan dissipated instantly.

Taking advantage of Lü Dong and Jiang Qiong's momentary shock, Jiang Yan threw a handful of soul suppressing talismans at the vengeful souls that were lunging toward him.

“I'm going to bankrupt you both!”

As Jiang Yan's voice fell, the explosions of the soul suppressing talismans formed a continuous series of booming sounds.

When the smoke gradually cleared, Lü Dong was dumbfounded. This Blood Soul Tablet was his most important Magic Treasure, and those vengeful souls were ones he had spent over ten years painstakingly taming, yet they were all blown away by Su Chen... “Su Chen, I'll have your life!” Lü Dong roared, charging at Su Chen with his gilded mace to fight for his life.

Jiang Qiong was also currently entangled with Zhou Ling and couldn't help Lü Dong at all.

Seeing that Lü Dong was truly enraged, Jiang Yan's playful smile instantly switched to a serious expression.

As the last wisp of smoke dissipated, Lü Dong's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood-fiend qi-blood coiled around the gilded mace had almost condensed into a solid form.

With every step he took, the ground cracked into spiderweb-like patterns. The qi-blood around him went wild, even distorting the air.

Jiang Yan's eyes sharpened, and at some point, a Spiritual Artifact sword had appeared in his hand. The blade was covered in runes, currently glowing with a faint blue light.

His left hand changed hand-seals, and low-grade defensive Talismans appeared behind him as if they cost nothing, quickly forming the pattern of a Big Dipper Formation.

“Boom!”

Lü Dong's gilded mace slammed down with the force of ten thousand catties, but it was blocked by the formation diagram.

The counter-shock force caused both of them to retreat three steps. Jiang Yan's palm split open, and blood dripped down the hilt of the sword, turning into burning Talisman fire the moment it touched the ground.

“Ten Victories Blood Disciples are indeed impressive.” Jiang Yan licked the blood from his lip, and then a Life-Burning Talisman began to burn.

Lü Dong's pupils shrank. This was clearly... “Now, it's my turn.” Jiang Yan was covered in qi-blood, and a blood-colored flame suddenly rose around him. Each wisp was as solid as substance, making a 'hissing' burning sound in the air.

Jiang Yan had decided that if this move couldn't kill Lü Dong, he would choose to flee in the next moment. After all, this was currently his strongest combination Martial Skill.

Lü Dong didn't dare to hesitate and brought out all his life-saving items, including various defensive Magical Artifacts, Magic Treasures, and Spiritual Artifacts.

As the various treasures were activated simultaneously, everyone present turned their gaze toward Su Chen and Lü Dong.

“Is there some deep-seated hatred between these two?” Ruan Yuanlong asked in confusion.

“Don't ask me, I don't know,” Qiu Yueshuang said while digging up the ground.

“They're truly fighting for real now,” Chen Feng said while collecting Spirit Stones.

“Good thing I didn't really provoke him,” Su Linglong said, patting her chest.

As soon as Su Linglong said this, everyone looked at the girl, then simultaneously shook their heads in silence.

The various treasures made a clattering sound and quickly surrounded Lü Dong.

And that massive stone shield was even more exaggerated, instantly expanding ten times in size and standing between him and Su Chen.

“Break!”

Jiang Yan suddenly roared, and his right punch blasted out like a blood-colored meteor. The moment his fist touched the surface of the shield, the runes on it began to loosen one by one, followed by the appearance of cracks.

“Boom!”

The stone shield couldn't withstand that immense power and instantly shattered into fragments that flew in all directions.

Next was a spherical defensive body, and just as Jiang Yan's fist touched the sphere, a counter-shock force suddenly came at him.

Jiang Yan didn't care at all. Not only did the power of his fist not decrease, but it became even greater.

“Boom!”

The spherical defensive body shattered instantly, and the counter-shock force vanished without a trace in an instant.

Lü Dong's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Su Chen was actually capable of fighting him, a powerhouse at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

“Boom! Boom!”

Two more consecutive explosions rang out. Lü Dong was stunned because Jiang Yan's fist hadn't stopped; it continued to smash toward him.

Jiang Yan's lips moved as if he were whispering something. Lü Dong couldn't hear what he was saying, but that immense power exploded against his body.

Lü Dong was sent flying ten yards by the aftershock, and the bronze plate on the chest of his inner armor had already been dented into the shape of a fist.

Silence. Everyone was shocked; they couldn't believe that all of this was real.
