63: Burn my blood? No, burn your life!

Treasure Heaven Pavilion, auction hall.

The atmosphere froze to an icy point.

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

Lin Que's lazy voice was like a resounding slap across the Face of the Blood Fiend Sect's True Disciple, Li Tianxing.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!!"

Li Tianxing ground his teeth, the words squeezed out from between them.

The Spirit Stones he had brought this time were primarily for another final lot, so his funds were not abundant.

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

Without even lifting an eyelid, Lin Que directly added thirty thousand.

That careless demeanor made it seem like he wasn't throwing out Spirit Stones, but roadside pebbles.

The entire hall erupted in an uproar.

"Who is this person? Too domineering, right?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand for a fragment? Does his Family own a mine?!"

Within Li Tianxing's private box, a terrifying killing intent almost solidified into substance. His eyes were bloodshot, fixed unwaveringly on Lin Que's direction:

"Friend, leave some room for maneuver. I am Li Tianxing of the Blood Fiend Sect. This fragment of the 'Blood Scripture' is crucial to me. If you yield it to me, I will owe you a favor."

"A favor?"

Lin Que chuckled lightly, his voice transmitted through the Formation to fill the hall:

"How much is your favor worth?"

"I bid two hundred thousand."

Boom!

The entire hall went wild.

Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones! This had far exceeded the value of the fragment itself! This was purely using money to crush someone!

"You... Good! Very good!!"

Li Tianxing was so enraged he laughed instead. He was out of money. The recent 'harvest' from Black Wind Ridge (that One-Eyed Dragon deal) hadn't been delivered yet, leaving his current liquid assets stretched thin.

"Let's see if you have the life to take it out of Luoyun City!"

Li Tianxing threw down a fierce threat and stormed out of his seat in anger.

"Congratulations to the Heaven-ranked VIP for winning the 'Blood Scripture' fragment!"

As the auctioneer's gavel fell, Lin Que got his wish... Half an hour later.

Lin Que did not linger within the city.

Under the gaze of countless greedy, probing, and malicious eyes, he swaggered out of Luoyun City's north gate.

Heading north, he traveled thirty miles to a desolate burial ground.

The place was eerie with Yin Qi, withered trees like ghostly claws reaching for the sky—a perfect feng shui treasure spot for murder and robbery.

"Come out."

Lin Que stopped walking and turned to look at the empty wilderness behind him:

"You've been following me the whole way. The stench of blood on you all is making me sick."

"Heh heh heh..."

A chilling, bizarre laugh sounded.

The Void Realm twisted, and seven blood-colored figures materialized out of thin air, surrounding Lin Que.

Leading them was none other than Li Tianxing.

Now, he had changed into a Blood Fiend Sect combat robe, held a white bone longsword, and was followed by six Blood Fiend Sect Inner Sect Disciples at the Initial Stage of Spirit Sea Realm.

This lineup was enough to sweep through any second-rate Family around Luoyun City.

"Kid, I have to admit, you have guts."

Li Tianxing's gaze was venomous, looking at Lin Que as if he were already dead:

"In Luoyun City, no one dares to slap my Face. You are the first, and you will also die the most gruesome death."

"Hand over the fragment and all the valuables on you, and I'll grant you a quick death."

Lin Que ignored his threats.

He leisurely took out from his chest the blood-colored bone fragment he had just won.

"This is the 'Blood Burning Evasion' you wanted?"

Right in front of Li Tianxing, Lin Que did not hand over the bone fragment. Instead... he pressed it directly against his own forehead!

"What is he doing?!"

The surrounding Blood Fiend Sect Disciples were stunned.

Li Tianxing, however, changed color dramatically: "Not good! He's trying to forcibly comprehend it! Stop him! This 'Blood Scripture' is a supreme forbidden art of the Demonic Path. Without the Sect's secret method to assist, forcibly comprehending it will cause the body to explode and die! He wants to destroy the fragment!"

"Kill!!"

The six Disciples instantly erupted into action. Blood-colored sword lights wove into a killing net, covering Lin Que.

However, it was too late.

Hum!

The moment the bone fragment touched Lin Que's forehead, it transformed into a streak of blood light and drilled into his Sea of Consciousness.

It was a violent, bloodthirsty will, full of destructive desire!

"Blood Burning Evasion": Burn one's own essence blood or even Lifespan to exchange for tenfold, a hundredfold extreme speed! The cost is the practitioner's Qi and blood withering away, or even dying on the spot!

For an ordinary person, just the impact of this will could drive them mad.

But for Lin Que... [High-level Demonic Path forbidden art Legacy detected!]

[Cultivation Technique: Blood Burning Evasion (Incomplete).]

[Cultivation Cost: Burns 30% of essence blood, consumes ten years of Lifespan per use.]

[Cultivate?]

"Cultivate! Why wouldn't I?"

A trace of a mad smile curled at the corner of Lin Que's mouth.

The **'Secret Canon of Self-Sacrifice'** within his body rumbled into operation, perfectly harmonizing with this fragment.

[Cultivation successful!]

[Drawback Judgment: Essence blood burning, Lifespan draining!]

[Targets Locked: Li Tianxing and Blood Fiend Sect Disciples (Malice Value 100%).]

[Transference Activated! Ratio: Group equal distribution!]

Just as those six blood swords were about to pierce Lin Que's body...

Boom!

A layer of eerie, blood-colored flames suddenly ignited on Lin Que's body!

That wasn't an injury; it was the sign of 'Blood Burning Evasion' activating!

His aura became violently berserk at this moment, his figure instantly blurring.

Swish!

He vanished into thin air just like that.

Fast!

So fast that even Divine Sense couldn't capture it!

"What?!"

Li Tianxing's pupils constricted sharply to pinpoints.

The next second.

"Ah!!"

"My blood! My Lifespan!!"

The six Disciples surrounding Lin Que suddenly let out a shrill, agonized scream.

They hadn't been attacked.

But their hair turned gray in an instant! Their originally full skin rapidly shriveled and wrinkled! The essence blood within their bodies seemed to be drained by an invisible pump, burning wildly!

Using their lives to fuel my flames!

The cost required for Lin Que to execute 'Blood Burning Evasion' was entirely paid for by these six people!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

In merely one breath.

Six elite Disciples at the Initial Stage of Spirit Sea Realm directly turned into six withered corpses, falling from mid-air and shattering upon impact.

And Lin Que's figure appeared like a ghost behind Li Tianxing.

Wreathed in that layer of blood flames that didn't belong to him, his speed reached the extreme, as if teleporting.

"You... what kind of Demonic Technique is this?!"

Li Tianxing was scared out of his wits.

He was a True Disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect, having seen countless Demonic Techniques, but he had never encountered such an overbearing, unreasonable method!

Using other people's lives to power up himself?

This is even more demonic than a Devil Head!

"Demonic Technique?"

Lin Que's voice sounded beside his ear, carrying a hint of mockery:

"This is called... rational utilization of resources."

Zheng—!

The starfall mo dao left its sheath.

The black blade body, illuminated by the blood flames, flashed with a heart-stopping cold light.

Li Tianxing, after all, was a True Disciple and reacted extremely quickly.

"Blood Fiend Golden Bell!!"

He roared, summoning a High Grade Spiritual Artifact—a small blood-colored bell that instantly enlarged, encasing him within.

This golden bell had extremely strong defensive power, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Late Stage Spirit Sea Realm cultivator.

"Can it block it?"

Lin Que gripped the longsword with both hands, his figure stretching into a long blood-colored afterimage in the air.

With the tenfold extreme speed boost from 'Blood Burning Evasion', the kinetic energy of this strike reached a terrifying level.

"Seven Absolute Blades" · Army Breaker + starfall · Shield Breaker!

Clang——!!!

A deafening roar that shook heaven and earth.

That Blood Fiend Golden Bell, famed for its peerless defense, only held for half a breath under the starfall blade's sharp edge.

Crack!

A fissure appeared.

Immediately, cracks spread like a spiderweb.

Boom!

The golden bell exploded!

Li Tianxing spat out a mouthful of blood, his Face filled with terror as he watched the black longsword that had shattered the bell, its momentum unabated.

"No! I am a True Disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect! My Revered Master is a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor! You can't kill me!!"

"Nascent Soul Old Ancestor?"

Lin Que's blade did not stop.

"Let him come down to accompany you."

Pfft!

The blade light flashed past.

Li Tianxing's head, wearing an expression of disbelief, flew high into the air.

His corpse still maintained the posture of raising its hands in supplication, but three-tenths of the essence blood within his body had been instantly drained due to the 'aftershock' of Lin Que's extreme speed burst just moments before.

Instant kill!

Lin Que slowly landed, the blood flames on his body gradually extinguishing.

In this battle, he had used the newly learned forbidden art, yet his own hair remained jet-black, his skin still lustrous like jade. He hadn't lost a single drop of blood.

This was the most terrifying aspect of the 'Secret Canon of Self-Sacrifice' combined with the transference System—as long as there are enough enemies, I can unleash infinitely!

"Hah..."

Lin Que let out a long breath, feeling the boiling liquid Spirit Sea within his body from the extreme-speed killing.

"This 'Blood Burning Evasion' paired with the 'Seven Absolute Blades' is simply a perfect match."

"From now on, when fighting, first activate the evasion technique, let the opponent age ten years before we start."

He deftly collected Li Tianxing's Storage Pouch. As a True Disciple, this guy's wealth was definitely substantial.

"Squeak squeak!"

The Little Snow Ferret poked its head out from his chest, pointing at Li Tianxing's corpse, then pointing into the distance.

"Hmm?"

Lin Que swept his Divine Sense and discovered that after Li Tianxing died, a faint blood light flew out from his body, instantly vanishing into the Void Realm.

Blood Soul Mark!

This was a method used by major Sect's Core Disciples after death to mark the killer.

"Marked, huh?"

Lin Que stroked his chin, not particularly flustered.

"Beat the small one, the old one comes."

"Perfect."

Lin Que looked up towards the direction of Luoyun City, his gaze profound:

"This 'Blood Scripture' fragment is only one page."

"Since the Blood Fiend Sect has this thing, it means they must have... the rest in their hands."

"Li Tianxing delivered one page. As for the rest..."

Lin Que slung the starfall mo dao across his back, strode forward against the wilderness wind:

"I'll have to trouble myself to go to their doorstep and take them."
