The chest cavity of the Martial Artist in the Blood Refining Realm caved in as if he had been hit by an unimaginable force. Before his body could even land, he was already dead.
"Qi Blood Smoke!"
"When did White Stone Dao produce such a powerful being like you!"
The remaining five Martial Artists in the Blood Refining realm were all greatly shocked.
Qi Blood Smoke!
This was an ability that Martial Artists in the Blood Refining Realm could manifest after reaching a certain level of cultivation.
The appearance of Qi Blood Smoke was not related to the cultivation realm of the Martial Artist, but only emerged when the qi and blood were refined to a higher level.
Therefore,
Qi Blood Smoke represented potential, as well as unmatched combat power within the same realm.
If an initial-stage Martial Artist managed to cultivate Qi Blood Smoke, even mid-level Martial Artists might not be able to defeat him.
However,
Qi Blood Smoke was difficult to cultivate.
Throughout the entire White Stone Dao, no one had been able to reach such a realm.
The emergence of a strong practitioner with Qi Blood Smoke naturally shocked them tremendously.
However,
Gu Qingfeng did not give them a chance to catch their breath. After taking the lead in killing one Martial Artist, he quickly attacked another.
The man hurriedly reacted, pushing his own strength in an attempt to block Gu Qingfeng's strike with his arm.
Unfortunately,
The gap in their power was too vast.
With just one punch, Gu Qingfeng shattered the man's arm into several pieces, with broken bones piercing through the flesh and exposed in the air, causing intense pain that made the man scream out in agony.
"Ah—"
However,
The scream was abruptly cut off, as Gu Qingfeng had already punched his head to pieces.
The headless body twitched a few times before falling silent forever.
Only then,
Did the remaining Martial Artists truly react.
"This fiend is ferocious; let's join forces and subdue him!" one of the Martial Artists in the Blood Refining Realm said coldly. The rest did not object but gathered their full strength to collectively attack.
Having instantly killed two Martial Artists with the swiftness of thunder, Gu Qingfeng's displayed power terrified them deeply.
Seeing the four Martial Artists charging at him, Gu Qingfeng's eyes were filled with battle intent and his qi and blood began to boil, especially with the pervasive scent of blood in the air which seemed to excite him somewhat.
Kill!
Without any extra words,
Gu Qingfeng used all his resources, transforming rolling qi and blood into a mist of wolf smoke, each punch mighty and powerful, his hands were akin to divine weapons, causing immense fear in the hearts of the four Martial Artists.
In a brief moment,
Gu Qingfeng crushed a longsword with his bare hands. Under the horrified gaze of a Martial Artist, he pierced through the man's throat with a finger, causing the victim to stagger and fall, struggling for a moment before death.
Afterward,
Gu Qingfeng struck with his palm, which was like a fan, hitting another Martial Artist so hard that his body was torn apart, scattering blood and remains all around.
At this moment,
The remaining two Martial Artists, unable to suppress their fear any longer, turned and fled without looking back.
"Thinking of escaping now, isn't it a bit too late?"
Gu Qingfeng laughed heartily, his killing intent so intense that his eyes seemed to turn blood red. A tremendous force of qi and blood gathered in his legs, and he leapt into the air, delivering a kicking blow to the back of one of the fleeing Martial Artists, causing him to spit out blood and his mask to come off.
Upon seeing the true face of their adversary, those secretly watching and hoping to benefit were stricken with horror.
"Si Yuanhao!"
The man was none other than the Hall Master of the Iron Bone Gang's Divine Skill Hall, a top-tier expert in the late stage of Blood Refining.
But now,
the opponent's spine was broken, and he fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and vomiting blood profusely, mixed with chunks of internal organs. It was obvious that he was dying.
After killing Si Yuanhao, Gu Qingfeng kicked a few broken stones, hitting another martial artist's legs, causing him to scream painfully and fall directly to the ground.
The next instant,
Gu Qingfeng took two steps in rapid succession, raised his fist, and was about to strike down.
Seeing this, the man, filled with terror, said, "Don't kill me, I am from the Qin Family—"
Before he could finish,
Gu Qingfeng's fist had struck, hitting the man's throat, abruptly cutting off his voice, instantly killing him on the spot.
After doing all this, Gu Qingfeng returned to his original spot and picked up the blood-stained brocade box.
Opening the box,
inside laid a martial arts technique known as the Fiery Sun Divine Palm.
Gu Qingfeng stored it in his chest and then drifted away.
Only after he left did others dare to emerge from the shadows.
Looking at the tragic scene and the many blood-refining realm experts who had died, many faces wore expressions of lingering fear.
"Qi Blood Smoke!"
"To kill six blood-refining realm martial artists by himself, including a hall master from the Iron Bone Gang, who is this ruthless person?"
The crowd was shocked.
Having killed six blood-refining realm experts, one of whom was a late-stage powerful fighter, this person's strength must have reached the pinnacle of the blood-refining realm.
Otherwise,
how could he achieve this?
Then,
someone else removed the face covers from the few remaining corpses, which caused another great stir.
Elders from the Qin Family!
Iron Bone Gang Hall Master!
Among the six blood-refining realm martial artists, the weakest was in the mid-level, and two had reached the late stage—Qin Wei, the senior elder of the Qin Family, and Si Yuanhao, the hall master of the Divine Skill Hall of the Iron Bone Gang.
Such achievements
surely determined that the person was a peak blood-refining powerhouse.
Moreover,
to have killed so many blood-refining realm experts in such a short time, he must belong to the powerful echelon within the pinnacle of the blood-refining realm.
"The skies of White Stone Dao are likely to change!"
Someone muttered while looking at the bodies on the ground.
Any martial artist in the blood-refining realm held a high status in White Stone Dao, and to have at least ten such martial artists perish here—
among them,
both the Qin Family and the Iron Bone Gang had each lost three blood-refining realm fighters.
Even with the deep resources of these two major forces, this was surely a devastating blow.
Anyone could foresee the upheaval that would follow in White Stone Dao.
——
Soon,
the battle outside White Stone City spread like a hurricane throughout the entire martial world of White Stone Dao.
Many martial artists secretly speculated which force the mysteriously striking blood-refining realm powerhouse could be from.
However,
some guessed
that he might not be a person from White Stone Dao.
After all, reaching such a realm, a powerhouse would usually be well-known with a distinct identity and no one's power could match his.
Regardless, the moment the news spread, both the Qin Family and the Iron Bone Gang were furious and started offering large rewards for information about this mysterious strongman, causing a great stir across White Stone Dao once again.
