I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"If the Qinghua state could become my hunting ground, how wonderful that would be," Xuezhi Tu thought.

Xuezhi Tu knew that unless he advanced to a Blood Spirit, he would have no chance of accomplishing this.

Otherwise, entertaining the thought of occupying the Qinghua state was nothing but a pipe dream.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, he looked up, and a Blood Shadow flashed towards him almost instantaneously.

"Lord Xuezhi Tu, reinforcements from Da Yue Country have arrived, and I am unable to contain them alone..."

The master of the Blood Shadow Tower spoke hastily and respectfully.

"You have done well enough."

Xuezhi Tu nodded and gestured, "Come, let's join forces to crush the enemy!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The master of the Blood Shadow Tower breathed a sigh of relief and came to the top of the high tower, bowing respectfully to Xuezhi Tu.

"Your Blood Power is not pure enough. I will pass on a secret technique to you that can enhance your strength," Xuezhi Tu said, extending a hand. "Watch carefully. This secret technique is a Netherworld Technique, incredibly powerful..."

The master of the Blood Shadow Tower was overjoyed and thanked him, "Thank you, my lord!"

Hum!

A blood-light twined around Xuezhi Tu's fingers, turning into a Blood Blade. As the Blood Blade swayed, more blades appeared one after another. These blades were cold, bloodthirsty, and seemed to devour one's essence and strength continuously upon the slightest touch.

"This is the Blood-drinking Yin Destroying Blade. In an instant, it can devour the essence and offer up Martial Artists in a blood sacrifice, turning them into nourishment for oneself... It is a Netherworld Technique, not something all Xuezhis can cultivate. Do you understand?" Xuezhi Tu conveyed the Blood Blade to the master of the Blood Shadow Tower and said with a grave voice.

"Your servant understands!"

The master of the Blood Shadow Tower was thrilled.

Xuezhi Tu had revealed his extraordinary status in the Netherworld, not comparable to ordinary Xuezhis, and by passing this secret technique to him, he intended to make him a trusted follower under Xuezhi Tu's command.

Once Xuezhi Tu advanced to a Blood Spirit, he would be one of the Xuezhis under his command. With this technique, his status would be higher than that of regular Xuezhis!

"Next, reflect on it carefully!"

Xuezhi Tu said indifferently.

"Yes, thank you, my lord!"

The master of the Blood Shadow Tower started to meditate deeply, surrounded by the revolving Blood Blades.

"Xuezhi Tu, your life ends here!"

At this moment, Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu had already come in pursuit. Seeing the desolate Qi Yun County City, their eyes nearly exploded with rage, and with a roar, they attacked the lone figure together.

"Merely at the early stage of Immortal," Xuezhi Tu said with a faint smile. Taking a step forward, his blood-light illuminated half of the sky, and in a snap of his fingers, scarlet brilliance shot out, as he fought alone against two Immortal Heavenly Venerables.

Boom!

The master of the Blood Shadow Tower was shocked; Lord Xuezhi Tu was immensely strong. Having just advanced, he was already able to fight two against one without falling behind.

At this moment, he heard Xuezhi Tu's voice transmitted to him.

"Quickly comprehend the technique. Boost your strength, and together, we'll slay these two. The essence of Immortal Heavenly Venerables is a great supplement, aiding me in progressing further towards becoming a Blood Spirit."

The master of the Blood Shadow Tower hastily refocused and began to contemplate the secret technique.

A Blood Blade, following his contemplation, entered his body along with his Divine Soul, exuding an aura that seemed to bring marvelous understandings to his mind.

While fighting Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu, Xuezhi Tu's smile broadened, and the blood pattern between his eyebrows suddenly lit up.

A strange force abruptly emerged.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, and the master of the Blood Shadow Tower suddenly showed a look of horror.

"My lord..."

Xuezhi Tu's cold laughter came through: "I've nurtured you for such a long time, and you even broke through to the Immortal Realm. It's time for the harvest. You are quite the nourishment..."

Boom!

In the shocked eyes of Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable-level master of the Blood Shadow Tower suddenly turned into a mass of blood qi. This blood qi seemed to contain the essence of immortality.

Swish!

In an instant, the blood qi entered Xuezhi Tu's body.

At that moment, Xuezhi Tu, whose complexion was previously pale, now had a rosy complexion, and his breath was strengthening.

```

"Not good!"

Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu felt a jolt of horror in their hearts.

After devouring the master of Blood Shadow Tower, Xuezhi Tu's power had grown even stronger.

Boom!

In just an instant, Xuezhi Tu's strength climbed another step, and with a flick of his fingers, a myriad of Blood Blades materialized, densely surrounding the airspace and encapsulating the entire battlefield.

He completely sealed off all the paths of retreat, revealing a cold and sinister smile as he looked at Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu as though they were prey.

"Next, it's your turn. The essence-blood of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable Realm is a great tonic. Blood refining you two, though still far from the Blood Spirit, brings me a step closer."

"Arrogant! Let's see how you plan to blood refine me, Feng Yan!"

Feng Yan roared in anger, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. A layer of gray light surged, and in an instant, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of stone armor.

The entire man appeared to have turned into a stone figure.

Sui Hongwu's expression was grave. His halberd radiated light and, joining forces with Feng Yan, the two wielded the power of their domain, merging and aligning with the Heaven and Earth Laws.

To kill the two of them, one would have to collapse this domain space and burst open the Heaven and Earth Laws.

However, Xuezhi Tu smiled coldly as the Blood Blades circled, stirring up a blood-colored storm on the battlefield, constantly sweeping and slicing. Although it could not penetrate Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu's domain, as the battle continued, their complexions turned pale.

The two found that their blood qi seemed to be uncontrollable, fusing with the domain. Normally, this wouldn't be dangerous for an Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

Their blood qi merging with the domain strengthened their control over the power of that domain.

However, the blood qi continuously merging into the domain started to dissipate, being drawn away by Xuezhi Tu, slowly swallowed up. If this continued, the two were doomed!

But faced with this situation, they had no solution.

"Killing Blood Refining Cover!"

Feng Yan ground his teeth and said coldly.

Xuezhi Tu's Killing Blood Refining Cover was no ordinary artifact; it was a stronger Netherworld Artifact.

"Your fate has already been sealed. Even pleading or surrendering is useless. You may last a bit longer if you resist, but you'll be devoured quickly if you don't resist.

"If you want a comfortable death, you can choose not to resist."

Xuezhi Tu laughed with a hint of softness.

Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu's hearts sank deeper. At this moment, all they could do was to keep resisting, to wait and hope for a change.

Perhaps Emperor Da Yue, or the Myriad Thunder Sect Master, or the Tianwu Clan Master, any one of them could break free and come to Qi Yun County to suppress Xuezhi Tu, and then they would be saved.

In Qi Yun County City, blood qi filled the air, turning this domain into a blood-colored domain, as if dyed red with fresh blood.

The battle continued.

It was no longer a battle, but rather a grim resistance by Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu.

Xuezhi Tu's strength, on the other hand, grew slowly. As the situation deteriorated for them, the two did not know how long they could hold out!

At a certain moment, Xuezhi Tu threw out two Netherworld Blood Orbs and said with a laugh, "Replenish your blood qi a bit, so you can resist a little longer."

Feng Yan and Sui Hongwu glared furiously at Xuezhi Tu but eventually had no choice but to refine the Netherworld Blood Orbs to replenish their depleted blood qi.

Naturally, Xuezhi Tu was not benevolent; he was simply treating the two of them as cultivation nourishment. The more blood qi they could provide, the more beneficial it was for him.

And the Netherworld Blood Orbs could undoubtedly restore their depleted essence-blood and even make their essence-blood purer, more potent with the power of essence-blood.

Knowing Xuezhi Tu's intentions, the two still had to accept the Netherworld Blood Orbs to restore their losses, as only by doing so could they last longer, hoping for an opportunity.

In Xuezhi Tu's soft and complacent smile, contentment shone through. After a while, he would offer two more Netherworld Blood Orbs. The Netherworld Blood Orbs he carried were all high-grade Blood Beads, even useful to Immortal Heavenly Venerables.

When the two of them could no longer enhance their blood qi using the Netherworld Blood Orbs, that would be the end of their lives.

"Don't harbor any hope of being rescued. Anyone with the strength to do it can't get here."

Xuezhi Tu said with a playful smile.

The Evergreen Pavilion's Flying Ship turned into a streak of light and entered Qi Yun County, heading straight for Qi Yun County City, encountering a True King along the way who was preparing to blood sacrifice a small city.

Li Xuan flicked his finger, and in an instant, annihilated the opponent.

"Qinghua state, a purgatory on earth!"

What they saw along the way made everyone who came from the Spiritual Realm feel an oppressive heaviness in their hearts.

Xu Yan clenched his fists, filled with indignation. These Netherworld enemies must be punished!

He was neither from the Divine Realm nor from the Qinghua state, but he was a person of this Domain. The enemies from the Netherworld, in a sense, were also his enemies.

Besides, such acts that angered gods and men alike would outrage anyone who hadn't lost their humanity.

"That person looks pitiful, let's rescue him onto the ship," said Su Lingxiu suddenly.
