347: Chapter 347 Bloodshed in the Heavenly Dao Entry

"Pfft—" Liu Feng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body trembling violently, and the secret letter in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter."

He slowly lowered his head, looking at the long sword in his chest in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment. Blood seeped from the corners of his mouth as he asked hoarsely, "Why... why? Why did Shen Guhong want to kill me?"

He completely could not understand. Both being of the Yao Race, and with Hu Nan claiming to be under Shen Guhong's command, why would he suddenly strike to kill, and with such ruthlessness, leaving no room for mercy?

His heart was full of doubt and resentment. He was clearly about to enter the Human Race to show his prowess, but he never expected to fall at the hands of his own kind.

Hu Nan slowly pulled out the long sword and said with a smile, "Why? Because Leader Shen already knows that the Third Elder has long since defected to the Grand Elder."

Hearing this, Liu Feng's pupils shrank, his eyes filled with bewilderment. He was a confidant of the Third Elder; how had he never heard that the Third Elder had defected to the Grand Elder?

Hu Nan did not speak, and the long sword in his hand pierced into Liu Feng's body once more.

Liu Feng's spiritual power and Demonic Qi instantly dissipated. His head tilted to the side, and he completely lost his breath.

Qin Changsheng also walked in from the valley entrance, looking at Liu Feng's corpse on the ground, feeling somewhat surprised.

However, Qin Changsheng also knew why killing Liu Feng had been so easy.

It was because Hu Nan had used the Golden Trait Disguise.

He had disguised himself with Demonic Qi.

With this Demonic Qi present, Liu Feng had instantly lowered his guard.

Coupled with the Yao Race secret letter Hu Nan provided, it had immediately drawn all of Liu Feng's attention.

Qin Changsheng stepped forward slowly, his expression calm and unruffled. His gaze swept over Liu Feng's corpse without any extra emotion, and he reached out toward the Storage Pouch at Liu Feng's waist.

The black Storage Pouch embroidered with demonic patterns at Liu Feng's waist automatically detached and flew into his hand.

The Storage Pouch felt warm in his hand, surrounded by a faint Demonic Qi. With a thought, Qin Changsheng injected spiritual power into the Storage Pouch, instantly breaking its Restriction.

As the Restriction broke, Qin Changsheng gave the Storage Pouch a gentle shake. Countless crystalline white Spirit Stones poured out, piling up beside a blue stone, emitting thick Spiritual Qi. With a rough count, there were actually tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Besides that, a fingernail-sized piece, entirely golden and flowing with a faint Heavenly Dao spiritual light, also flew out from the Storage Pouch and hovered in Qin Changsheng's palm. It was exactly the heavenly dao fragment he had been painstakingly searching for.

"A heavenly dao fragment!" Qin Changsheng's eyes were filled with joy.

With this heavenly dao fragment, he could upgrade another Golden Trait into a Heavenly Dao Trait.

He casually put away the heavenly dao fragment, and his gaze fell on the remaining items in the Storage Pouch. A sealed secret letter lay quietly at the bottom.

Qin Changsheng opened the secret letter and began to examine it carefully.

This secret letter was written by the Third Elder to Shen Guhong.

In the letter, the Third Elder said that everything within the Yao Race was fine and the Grand Elder showed no abnormalities.

This Liu Feng was his confidant, and he was sending Liu Feng to serve under Shen Guhong.

At the end of the letter, the Third Elder also told Shen Guhong that one hundred million Spirit Stones would be transported to the front lines next March.

Seeing the end of the letter, a flash of joy crossed Qin Changsheng's eyes.

He had been very short of Spirit Stones.

If he could obtain these one hundred million Spirit Stones from the Yao Race, he could enhance several treasures into heaven-grade magical tools.

Qin Changsheng put away the secret letter and waved his hand gently, and a Spirit Stone appeared in his palm.

Qin Changsheng slowly chanted an incantation. The incantation was low and obscure. As the incantation ended, a brilliant golden light burst from the Spirit Stone, turning into a pillar of light that enveloped the nearby open ground.

As the pillar of light dissipated, Wang Cheng's figure appeared nearby.

As soon as Wang Cheng appeared, he hurriedly bowed to Qin Changsheng, "Master!"

Qin Changsheng did not waste any words and pointed at Liu Feng's corpse on the ground, his tone firm and brooks no argument: "Wang Cheng, I command you to immediately use the Golden Trait Disguise to take on his appearance. Every word, action, and movement must be imitated perfectly, without the slightest flaw."

Hearing this, Wang Cheng's heart tightened. He hurriedly followed Qin Changsheng's gaze to look at Liu Feng, carefully observing Liu Feng's facial features, figure, and clothing, memorizing his appearance. He quickly replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"

In the next instant, a golden light flashed across Wang Cheng's body.

As the golden light disappeared, Wang Cheng had transformed into Liu Feng's appearance.

"Furthermore," Qin Changsheng added, a sharp glint in his eyes, "after the Disguise, use the Golden Trait [Disguise] to mimic the thick and overbearing Demonic Qi on his body. It must be seamless; no matter who it is, they must not see any flaws."

He had already planned everything out. Now that Liu Feng was dead, it was the perfect opportunity to have Wang Cheng Disguise himself as Liu Feng and infiltrate the Yao Race to observe their movements.

At the same time, he could use Liu Feng's identity to maneuver between the Human Race and the Yao Race, achieving multiple goals at once.

"Understood!" As his voice fell, he activated the Golden Trait Disguise, and a spiritual light flashed around him.

Within moments, a thick and overbearing Demonic Qi began to surround him, exactly the same as the Demonic Qi on Liu Feng's body—pure and sharp, without any flaws.

Qin Changsheng stepped forward and examined him carefully, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, "Very good. From now on, you are Liu Feng."

"Take this secret letter and the Storage Pouch, and go to the Flowing Fire Sect to meet Shen Guhong!" Qin Changsheng threw the Spirit Stones from the Storage Pouch, the secret letter, and the Magical Artifacts to Liu Feng.

Qin Changsheng only kept the heavenly dao fragment.

"Understood!" Liu Feng took the Storage Pouch and hurriedly left the area.

...

Heavenly Sword Sect.

In the Outer Sect courtyard.

Qin Changsheng had already used the Golden Trait Teleportation to return here.

At this moment, there was still a hint of joy in Qin Changsheng's eyes.

He had not expected this trip to the Azure Cloud Sect to go so smoothly.

The trade assembly had not even started yet.

Qin Changsheng had easily killed Liu Feng and obtained the heavenly dao fragment in Liu Feng's possession.

Qin Changsheng waved his hand gently, and the heavenly dao fragment appeared in his palm.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a heavenly dao fragment. You can enhance a Golden Trait into a Heavenly Dao Trait!]

Hearing the System prompt, Qin Changsheng's gaze turned to his many traits.

[traits: Immortality, Substitute Death, Breath Concealment, Exchange, Sharing, Rebirth, Instant Spellcasting, Body Refining, Speed, Instant Displacement, Disease, Teleportation, Poison Resistance, Bleeding, Alchemy, Heart Demon, Insight, Armor Break, Disguise, Disguise]

[Heavenly Dao Entries: Cultivation, External Incarnation, Intelligence, Divine Sense, Source of Mana, Mana Absorption, Fire God, Thunder God, Innate Divine Strength, Vitality, Storage Space, Sword God, Enhancement, Blade God, Repair]

Looking at the numerous traits, Qin Changsheng fell into deep thought.

First, Cultivation, External Incarnation, Intelligence, Divine Sense, Source of Mana, Mana Absorption, Fire God, Thunder God, Innate Divine Strength, Vitality, Storage Space, Sword God, Enhancement, Blade God, and Repair were all Heavenly Dao Entries and could no longer be enhanced.

Next, traits like Immortality, Substitute Death, Breath Concealment, Exchange, Sharing, and Rebirth had limited strength; even if enhanced into Heavenly Dao Entries, they would only have their cooldown times reduced.

After excluding some traits, Qin Changsheng's gaze fell upon the Golden Trait Bleeding.

[Ding! Do you wish to enhance the Golden Trait Bleeding into a Heavenly Dao Trait?]

"Enhance!" Qin Changsheng did not hesitate at all.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Heavenly Dao Trait Bleeding!]

[Bleeding: Heavenly Dao Trait]

[1. Laceration Bleeding: After an attack hits an enemy, it can cause continuous lacerations, triggering a Bleeding effect that lasts for one minute.]

[2. Bleeding Amplification: While the enemy is Bleeding, all damage you deal to them is increased by 50%. The more severe the Bleeding effect, the higher the damage amplification, allowing for an increasingly powerful suppressive effect as the battle progresses.]

[3. Synchronization: All your Incarnations receive the blessing of the Golden Trait Bleeding!]

[4. Blood Trace Mark: Enemies who trigger the Bleeding effect will be marked with a Blood Trace. During the marking period, regardless of whether the enemy hides their form or uses Instant Displacement, you can precisely lock onto them, making escape impossible.]

[5. Recovery Halved: After causing Bleeding, the recovery Speed of all the enemy's injuries is permanently halved.]

Looking at the many characteristics, Qin Changsheng's eyes were full of joy.

He had not expected that after becoming a Heavenly Dao Trait, the effect of Bleeding would be enhanced this much.

This one minute of Bleeding would be unbearable even for a Golden Core Cultivator.

Especially the fourth characteristic: as long as someone was wounded by the Heavenly Dao Trait Bleeding, no matter where they hid,

they would be marked with a Blood Trace. Whether the enemy used stealth, identity Disguise, or Instant Displacement to flee, they could be easily locked onto, making escape impossible.

But the most powerful part was the halving of recovery.

Once Bleeding was inflicted on an enemy, the recovery Speed of all their injuries would be permanently halved.

Whether through Medicinal Pills, spells, or their own self-healing ability, the recovery Speed would be greatly reduced.

After Qin Changsheng finished checking the characteristics of Bleeding, he turned his gaze toward the Qingyun Tower. At this moment, the Golden Core Gathering at the Qingyun Tower was about to begin.
