Tianxuan Sect's senior brother, Shen Fan, attacked from behind

“It’s you!”

… …

… …

The veil was removed, revealing an extremely hideous face.

His entire face, after being scorched by intense fire, presented a distorted, sulfur-like shell, as if cooled lava. His expression was rigid, without a trace of emotion, like a zombie.

One eye was gouged out, leaving a black void. The next moment, a small, hissing snake with scarlet eyes surprisingly emerged from it.

Bai Qianyu looked as if he had seen a ghost, stumbling back several steps in a panic, even losing his balance and nearly falling off his Magical Artifact.

“Junior Brother Qianyu, it’s been ten years. How have you been?”

“Senior… Senior Brother!”

Bai Qianyu’s voice trembled from his Soul.

“Senior Brother? Haha… Junior Brother Qianyu, I wouldn’t dare. How could I be your Senior Brother? I have a name, I am Xue Jin!”

At this, Xue Jin’s single eye erupted with monstrous rage. From his empty right eye, the venomous snake with scarlet eyes drilled out, flicking its tongue and emitting a terrifying hiss.

“I was incinerated in that great fire. I am a life-claiming evil spirit returned from the Hell of flames. I am not your Senior Brother!”

Xue Jin let out a hoarse, desperate roar.

“Ten years… ten years… Do you know how I’ve spent these ten years?”

“The core of the earth fire in the Waste Pill Room, flames burning my Physical Body… Haha… I still remember you standing above the storage room, indifferently watching me burn to ashes!”

“Oh, right! I wonder, how is the Senior Brother in your hearts, the Saint Xue Hanzhou, whom my father brought back to replace me, doing now?”

After a brief moment of panic, Bai Qianyu’s emotions gradually calmed down.

He thought of his Peak Qi Refining Cultivation, which was much stronger than it had been ten years ago.

Facing the fear brought by Xue Jin, Bai Qianyu felt a surge of confidence.

“Senior Brother narrowly escaped death. Junior Brother is deeply relieved to hear that. However, no need for Senior Brother to worry, Saint Senior Brother is well now. He has already reached Early Stage Foundation Establishment. A year ago, Sect Master sent him into the Dragon Secret Realm, and he will be emerging soon. I believe he has already reached Middle Stage Foundation Establishment!”

“Heh heh…”

From Xue Jin’s burnt throat came a hoarse, eerie laugh.

“What a Saint Senior Brother. I remember when I was in power, each of you wagged your tails like dogs begging before me. Now that you’ve changed masters, you’re still so lowly!”

As if a raw nerve had been struck, Bai Qianyu roared, “Xue Jin, you are no longer a Disciple of my Tianxuan Sect. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? What kind of monster are you now? Neither human nor ghost.

I’m telling you, it would have been fine if you had died, but I didn’t expect you to still be alive. Since that’s the case, I’m not afraid to tell you that your father, our Sect Master, was the one behind the scenes who instigated us to frame you.

If you want revenge, go find him!

It’s been ten years. The identity of the Saint Senior Brother has been announced to the world. He is the son of your father, our Sect Master, and another woman. If your mother hadn’t been from the Qingmu Changchun Sect of the Jiang Country, you and your mother would have been killed long ago.

Your mother died because of you. After you were thrown into the burning furnace, she committed suicide.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Jin was as if struck by lightning.

He swayed, his body trembling violently, muttering to himself.

“Impossible! This is impossible! How could my mother die? This is impossible!”

“Senior Brother!”

Just then, a Blood Refinement Sect Disciple nearby quickly reminded him.

“Watch your body!”

Looking closely, one could see blood, like a flowing stream, seeping from beneath Xue Jin’s loose robes.

Below his neck, his skin, resembling stitched fabric, began to tear inch by inch.

From the blood, black wriggling maggots emerged, a terrifying sight.

“Tianxuan Sect, I will have your entire Sect buried with me!”

With an angry roar, a blood cloud covered the sky.

Xue Jin’s loose robes instantly ripped apart.

Infinite blood mist surged forth.

Xue Jin’s body beneath his robes was completely exposed.

It was made of stitched pieces of human skin, filled with blood teeming with maggots.

At this moment, the sea of blood dispersed, leaving only a twisted, burnt head suspended in the air.

“Bai Qianyu, I will surely visit Tianxuan Sect. Today, I’ll take you first to appease the hatred in my heart. You were part of framing me back then, so today, you won’t escape!”

Seeing this, Bai Qianyu retreated repeatedly to avoid the blood mist, but his words showed no regard for the other party: “Xue Jin, you escaped death, but instead of living in obscurity, you fell into the Demonic Path and Cultivated blood techniques. Ten years ago, I acknowledged you as Senior Brother and gave you some leeway, but now, I have reached Qi Refining Perfection. What can you do to me? This is also why I confidently told you the truth!”

As his words fell.

Bai Qianyu’s thin fan flew out, transforming into ten Flying Swords in the air.

That thin fan was actually composed of ten Flying Sword Magical Artifacts.

It was clearly comparable to a High Grade Magical Artifact.

With ten Flying Swords behind him, Bai Qianyu pointed his sword, and the ten Flying Swords whistled forth.

They plunged into the blood mist, heading straight for Xue Jin’s hideous head.

However, just then.

Within the blood mist, tens of thousands of scarlet light points appeared, which were precisely the eyes of those bloodworms.

The ten Flying Swords shuttled through the blood mist, yet they were like mud oxen entering the sea, unable to find a target to attack.

Just then, the venomous snake, flicking its tongue, quietly flew out from the right eye of the ugly head.

Within the blood mist, countless bloodworms swarmed forth.

They actually condensed into a monstrous giant snake.

As the giant snake formed, the ten Flying Swords found their target, emitting brilliant sword light as they flew in succession.

But the next moment.

They were swallowed whole by the giant snake’s gaping maw.

In the blink of an eye, their connection with Bai Qianyu was severed.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

The blood mist receded, condensing into Xue Jin’s Physical Body.

“Qi Refining Perfection, Junior Brother Qianyu, you’ve made considerable progress in ten years! But you should know the chasm between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment!”

“Foundation Establishment?”

Bai Qianyu’s eyes suddenly widened, then he turned and fled at hyperspeed.

What ten Flying Sword Magical Artifacts? He didn’t want them anymore!

Before an Immortal Master of Foundation Establishment, Qi Refining practitioners were like ants.

Bai Qianyu’s dam of confidence, built upon Qi Refining Perfection, instantly burst.

Escape!

At this moment, he had only this one thought.

And just then.

Two figures suddenly burst out from the ground.

They blocked Bai Qianyu’s escape route.

These two figures wore tattered clothes, but their faces were incredibly familiar.

“Big Brother!”

Seeing one of them, Bai Qianyu’s eyes instantly widened.

But what greeted him was an endless barrage of attacks.

On the ground, Shen Fan activated the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Formation.

Using the Corpse Puppet killing Formation, the Twin Locking Dragon Formation, he entangled Bai Qianyu and launched an attack.

“Corpse Puppet? Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect?”

The blood mist condensed into a figure, and Xue Jin looked at the mid-air with interest.

The next moment.

Bai Qianyu, who was already focused solely on escaping, faced his own elder brother with absolutely no guard.

The next moment.

He was pierced through the heart by Old Duan.

On the ground, the instant Old Duan killed Bai Qianyu.

He felt a sense of profound relief, clear as day, flowing from Old Duan’s body into his own.

“This… What is this?”

This sense of relief was extremely strong.

Like an unstoppable spear, it instantly pierced through the fifth-layer barrier of the Qi Refinement Stage, which had just touched a bottleneck.

Crash!!

The barrier shattered.

Vast spiritual power surged into his Dantian.

Qi Refinement Stage fifth layer!

He had actually achieved a Breakthrough just like that!

“What is this thing? It actually has such a miraculous effect?”

Shocked by this power, Shen Fan quickly manipulated the two Puppets to return to his side.

Because Xue Jin and the others in mid-air had already surrounded them.
