15: Blood Knife Resurrection?

"Take advantage of them fighting, charge!"

Nearly a hundred people, eyes bloodshot, charged toward the altar simultaneously, hoping to fish in troubled waters.

"Haha, I got it!" The leader of the Viper Gang, taking advantage of the chaos, clutched one of the purple boxes, overjoyed, and immediately prepared to retreat.

With his strength, obtaining this one was already his limit.

"Seeking death!"

Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan was furious. He had been fighting the Black Cloud Elders on the front line, and this old bastard had stolen the prize right under his nose.

How could someone who hadn't even reached the Innate Realm dare to snatch treasures from him?

There were three treasure boxes: white, purple, and red. This purple box was either the Blood Sabre Manual or the Three-Turn True Essence Pill. With it, in a few years, he would be the next Blood Sabre.

At the thought of this, the viciousness on his face intensified.

"Blood Demon Hand!"

A sinister claw whistled through the air, striking directly at the Viper Gang leader's head.

A furious strike from an Innate Realm expert; if that hit, death was certain.

The Viper Gang leader immediately exploded with top speed to dodge, but the Innate Realm expert was more than a notch faster than him. He escaped a headshot, but his right arm was struck on the spot.

Crack!

A sound of bones breaking echoed, followed immediately by the Viper Gang leader's painful howl.

"Ah..."

The Viper Gang leader's face twisted in agony; the pain from the broken bone made him wish he were dead. He had thought that with his Half-Step Innate strength, even if he couldn't defeat a true Innate Realm expert, he wouldn't be crushed in a single touch.

It seemed he was too naive.

The chasm between the Acquired and Innate Realms was larger than he had imagined.

The purple treasure box changed hands again, falling into the possession of Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan.

"Lin Shan, hand over the treasure box, and I will spare your life!"

The Black Cloud Elders were anxious. Seeing the treasure box, suspected to contain the Legacy, fall into the hands of Blood Demon Hand, they charged up once again, intending to join forces to suppress him and snatch the box.

"You two old things, you're already half-buried, and you think you can take me?" Lin Shan laughed instead of getting angry. The world only knew he made a name for himself relying on the Blood Demon Hand, but they didn't know his true trump card was his escape technique.

If he wanted to escape, even an Innate Realm Late Stage expert could do nothing to him.

The scene was in chaos. The treasure box changed hands several times, and the number of casualties reached over thirty and was still climbing.

Chu Jiang stood where he was, not rushing to seize the treasure. He always felt this place wasn't simple; the Blood Sabre's Legacy was placed before them too easily.

Allowing anyone to take it.

Lu Feiyang, seeing this, felt his eyes gradually turn red and hurriedly urged, "Lord Chu, let's go down quickly. If we're late, we won't even get to drink the soup."

Chu Jiang remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on the corpse of Blood Sabre Wang Qi on the altar.

"My Lord, something is wrong."

Liu Guangwu grabbed Ma Han, discovering that he was also about to charge toward the altar; several demon hunters were the same, and he violently shook them awake.

"There is Demonic Qi!"

"Demons?" Liu Guangwu widened his eyes. Although he sensed something was wrong, he hadn't felt the aura of demons.

Aside from Chu Jiang, the people from the Hundred Flowers Sect also sensed the anomaly. Bai Ruoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, her lips moving softly as if chanting something, which kept them from rushing toward the altar.

Soon, a chill radiated from their bodies.

"The Hundred Flowers Sect's Ice Heart Sutra; no wonder these people are unaffected."

"The Ice Heart Sutra has the effect of calming the heart and guarding the soul, capable of resisting demonic soul-voices!"

"That cold-faced woman is likely a core figure of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and the younger one isn't simple either."

Liu Guangwu said.

Chu Jiang's eyes flickered slightly. The Hundred Flowers Sect was once the seventh largest School in Annan Prefecture, with several Vajra Realm experts within; even if they had declined, having such methods was not strange.

But Liu Guangwu was just a small constable in White Stone County; how could he resist this eerie attraction when even Innate Realm experts were being affected?

It seemed the water in White Stone County ran deep, hiding secrets he didn't know about.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

The corpse of Blood Sabre Wang Qi in the center of the altar suddenly stood up.

His eyes were hollow, and his body exuded an eerie aura.

Neither human nor demon.

"Ghost! Run!"

Seeing Blood Sabre Wang Qi awaken, everyone was filled with horror.

The heavy aura made people unable to breathe.

"Isn't Blood Sabre Wang Qi dead? Why do I feel like he's come back to life?"

"Could he have broken through to the Vajra Realm!"

Everyone thought while running. Blood Sabre Wang Qi was a ruthless character who once dominated a region, a fierce man who could kill Vajra Realm experts while in the Innate Realm.

An Ironblood expert who walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, killing without blinking.

Now awake.

Seeing them wanting to snatch his things, how could they possibly survive?

"Since you've come, then all of you stay!"

Blood Sabre Wang Qi's voice was low and resonant. A powerful pressure weighed heavily on everyone's heart, making them almost unable to breathe.

In an instant, a dazzling black blade beam appeared, cutting across the sky like lightning. This blade beam was soul-shaking; wherever it passed, the air emitted shrill, ear-piercing whistles.

Anyone touched by the blade beam was like a fallen leaf caught in a gale, torn into pieces without any power to resist. Fresh blood splattered everywhere, staining the entire altar red.

In just a few strikes, eighty percent of the people on the altar were slaughtered.

Only about a dozen people lingering on the edge of the altar remained; they had fled the altar the moment they saw the Blood Sabre awaken, thus escaping disaster.

The Blood Demon Hand located in the core area of the altar fled, and the Black Elder, one of the Black Cloud Elders, was shredded on the spot while covering the Cloud Elder's escape.

The three treasure boxes returned to the center of the altar once again.

Those who left the altar had trembling legs. That scene was too terrifying; not even an Innate Realm expert could slaughter so many people so easily.

Did this still belong to the Realm of humans?

This was the question circling in the minds of the living. Besides questions, there was more fear and despair.

Today, they were unlikely to walk out alive.

"True Qi projection, this is a method only Vajra Realm experts have. How the hell are we supposed to fight this?" Blood Demon Hand was both shocked and afraid. If this were true, they had no path to survival today.

The Vajra Realm Physical Body is as hard as black iron, with astonishing defensive power.

He had been active for so long and had once encountered a Vajra Realm expert; even a full-force strike from an Innate Realm Peak expert couldn't break its defense.

Bai Ruoxue of the Hundred Flowers Sect spoke up: "It shouldn't be. The Vajra Realm has already begun to transcend the Realm of Mortals, with a body like Vajra and True Qi projection."

"But from what I observe, it is not. This person's Realm is not Vajra; it is still at the Innate level. It is just that for some reason, he can execute the Vajra method of True Qi projection."

"Even so, his strength far exceeds that of a typical Innate Realm expert."

"Furthermore, Blood Sabre Wang Qi is not resurrected, nor has he been alive all this time. He is no longer human..." Chu Jiang spoke at this moment.

"Not human? Could it be a ghost?"

Chu Jiang's words gave everyone a fright.
