Chapter 41: Crushing the Withered and Rotten, the Secret of the Altar!

Who's there!

The three instantly became alert and looked around.

But night had fallen, the surroundings were pitch black, and not a single shadow could be seen.

All there was was endless darkness.

A bad premonition rose in the hearts of the three.

Suddenly, the hairs on one person's body stood on end.

A black silhouette lunged at him in an instant.

All that could be seen was that the black figure held a cyan longsword in hand.

Even in the darkness, the longsword gleamed with cyan light, as if a terrifying power clung to it.

It filled that person's heart with endless fear.

Dodge quickly!

Someone nearby reacted swiftly and shouted angrily.

At that moment, the person finally reacted, wanting to dodge, but facing such a close-range attack, even a Martial Artist of the Organ Tempering Realm would find it no easy task to evade.

Let alone him, who was merely at the Blood Refining Realm.

Although he was at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, he was still ultimately just a Blood Refining Realm cultivator!

Puchi!

The sound of the longsword piercing flesh came.

For a moment, intense pain flooded his mind.

Ah!!!

The person cried out in misery; only then could one see the cyan light flickering on the longsword, as if a miniature storm swirled upon it.

Wielding tremendous power, it ruthlessly tore that person's flesh apart!

Accompanying the shredding of flesh, bright red blood spurted out, splashing onto the ground.

Vitality instantly vanished!

He perished!

In less than a minute, a peak Blood Refining Realm expert fell instantly!

The remaining two stared with bloodshot eyes; only now did they clearly see the newcomer's face.

It was a face slightly tinged with immaturity.

Yet upon that youthful face lay a strong chill.

It was none other than Su Yu.

It's you!

One of them exclaimed in shock.

Lord Li wasn't supposed to be chasing you—why hasn't Lord Li returned, and yet it's you who's come back!

Obviously, Su Yu had been recognized.

After all, when Su Yu was exposed before, he had been seen clearly.

So, upon seeing Su Yu's face, it was natural to recognize him.

He gently pulled the Hurricane Blade from the corpse, wiped off the blood, and Su Yu looked at the two.

Heavenly God Sect members dare to massacre my Daxia village—seeking death!

Su Yu gave a low shout, without extra words, and instantly lunged at the two.

To Su Yu, these Heavenly God Sect people were worse than swine and dogs.

Not only because the Heavenly God Sect had tried to assassinate him, but more so because of what the Heavenly God Sect had done.

They actually slaughtered the lives of an entire village!

You should know that most of the villagers were ordinary folk without weapons.

And they, the Heavenly God Sect, are also of the Human Race, yet they committed such atrocities.

This was something Su Yu could absolutely not tolerate.

Kin slaughtering kin, all to become lackeys!

These people.... deserve death!

Yin Yang Taiji Fist!

Su Yu's eyes narrowed as he unleashed punch after punch.

The remaining two, though at peak Blood Refining Realm cultivation, were obviously much weaker compared to the Heavenly Pride Battalion.

Moreover, the death of their comrades, coupled with Li Tianhe's unknown whereabouts, filled their hearts with fear.

Their cultivation could not even be exerted at one or two percent.

Faced with Su Yu's full-force strike, they had no strength to resist and were instantly slain by Su Yu.

Having dealt with the three, Su Yu stood in place, his gaze turning toward the altar.

On the altar, several black-robed people seemed unaffected, their gazes dull as they watched the blood rolling below.

A foul stench spread out from the altar.

A flash of disgust crossed Su Yu's eyes as he lifted the Hurricane Blade and charged toward the altar.

What surprised Su Yu was that these black-robed people offered no resistance at all.

Even as Su Yu struck them down, they made not a sound.

In just a moment, the several black-robed people fell instantly!

Having settled everything, Su Yu then looked at the blood within the altar.

At this moment, Su Yu noticed a slight oddity.

Earlier, when Su Yu looked, the altar still held more than half the blood, but now it actually had only half left.

In other words, from the time Su Yu lured Li Tianhe out of the village entrance until now, this altar has been continuously devouring blood!

Moreover, it is still sinking at a visible speed.

"How do we destroy this thing?"

Su Yu stroked his chin.

Suddenly, Su Yu noticed the four stone pillars surrounding the altar.

On those stone pillars were carved extremely intricate patterns; an ordinary person glancing at them would be dazzled by the patterns on the pillars.

And as the blood below disappeared, the patterns on the stone pillars gradually began to emit a red glow.

"Hmm! Is this blood used to fill the stone pillars?"

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he swung a blade directly at one of the stone pillars.

However, Su Yu's strike did not shatter the stone pillar; it merely left a tiny mark, with no further effect.

"Impossible!"

Su Yu exclaimed, knowing that the Hurricane Blade was a first‑grade spiritual artifact, and even more, a rare item forged in the synthesis slot—so even a second‑grade spiritual artifact could match it.

Yet it could not even chop a stone pillar!

"Sure enough, there's a trick!"

Su Yu's eyes flickered.

He threw a punch!

Yin Yang Taiji Fist!

In this punch, Su Yu even exerted the Yin Yang Meaning; this punch, even the late‑stage Blood Refining Realm experts in the Heavenly Pride Battalion would not dare to take head‑on!

Boom!!!

As the punch landed, the entire altar began to tremble slightly.

On those stone pillars, fine cracks slowly appeared.

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

"Sure enough, it works!"

Without any hesitation, Su Yu threw punch after punch continuously.

Finally, after a few minutes, he actually shattered one stone pillar!

As the stone pillar shattered, streams of red energy burst forth and surged into Su Yu's body.

"What's happening?"

Su Yu hurried to dodge, but the red light was simply too fast.

In the blink of an eye, it poured directly into Su Yu's body.

Immediately, the red light transformed into surging Qi and Blood, continually tempering Su Yu's flesh.

And Su Yu's Qi and Blood strength began to increase at a visible speed, skyrocketing rapidly!

Su Yu felt somewhat shocked.

This red light actually can enhance a person's Qi and Blood strength!

At this moment, Su Yu finally understood what the altar was for!

Using ordinary people's blood, through the energy of dread, they refine Blood Pills, thereby increasing one's strength!

And with this much blood, it is even enough for an ordinary person to advance to the peak of the Organ Tempering Realm!
