Chapter 156: Absorbing the Bloodline

"How could it be impossible? Your bloodline isn't as strong as mine, so you naturally can't suppress me. Your True Essence pressure can't suppress my Physical Body either. As for Divine Sense, you're even farther behind me!" Ye Liuyun was no longer in a hurry; instead he patiently began to explain to him.

Xiao Mubai's bloodline power, compared to the half-developed bloodline Ye Liuyun had revealed, was four times stronger. However, he didn't anticipate that what Ye Liuyun had shown was only the tip of the iceberg.

Now Ye Liuyun wasn't afraid of him finding out, because Bai Hu and Shi Yuan had already arrived. It was only that Xiao Mubai's Divine Sense was damaged, so he didn't notice for a moment.

"Ha ha, good, good, I didn't expect your bloodline to be so strong; even if I kill you, the bloodline I obtain won't be lacking."

At this point Xiao Mubai realized that without killing Ye Liuyun he couldn't obtain the bloodline. Yet his own bloodline was powerful, so even if he lost some after death it wouldn't matter much. Thus he formed a murderous intent toward Ye Liuyun.

"You have no chance to kill me! If you must blame someone, blame yourself for being overconfident and talking too much!" Ye Liuyun gave him a smile as well.

At that moment Shi Yuan manifested in front of Ye Liuyun, while Bai Hu let out a tiger roar, first unleashing a sound‑wave attack, then a palm strike that slammed Xiao Mubai to the ground, scattering his True Essence.

Xiao Mubai fell to the ground in a pitiful heap, his True Essence unable to coalesce, his bones shattered, and his Soul further wounded.

Ye Liuyun then stepped forward and began a Soul Search directly. He wouldn't be as clumsy as Xiao Mubai.

After a while, Ye Liuyun stopped the Soul Search and picked up the red crystal sphere from the ground. He not only learned much about the Profound Heaven Saint, but also uncovered Xiao Mubai's secret.

He immediately used the secret method he had uncovered to extract Xiao Mubai's bloodline, then smashed his head open with a punch.

"Profound Heaven Saint, you didn't see that coming, did you? Another disciple of yours has now died at my hands!" Ye Liuyun laughed, gathered the crystal sphere, and also retrieved Xiao Mubai's Storage Ring.

"For the next period, you two act as Protectors for me; I need to cultivate further." Ye Liuyun, with Bai Hu and Shi Yuan, found a secluded spot and began cultivation.

Xiao Mubai is the type who absolutely deserves death. He relied on a secret technique that siphons others' bloodlines, killing many, then converting their bloodlines for his own use.

He had become insanely ruthless; whenever an opportunity arose, he would strike at those around him, even his own senior brothers and women.

Moreover, his scheming was deep, each time flawless, so this secret remained undiscovered to this day.

But now it has become advantageous for Ye Liuyun.

Inside this blood-colored crystal sphere are Xiao Mubai's bloodline power, a junior brother's bloodline power, and a fierce beast's bloodline power.

These so‑called bloodline powers are the essence blood that contains their bloodline power.

After extracting the essence blood completely, a person won't die instantly, but will be extremely weak and won't live long. Moreover, the bloodline power will not regenerate. If it isn't extracted all at once, it can still regenerate.

Yet Xiao Mubai, each time, extracts a person's bloodline completely, then kills them to silence.

Ye Liuyun eliminated the scourge Xiao Mubai, feeling much better, especially since he also obtained these bloodline powers.

He immediately began absorbing and refining through the blood-colored crystal sphere.

However, the combined bloodline power of the three humans and the beast only awakened a half‑developed bloodline in Ye Liuyun. His own bloodline has, up to now, only awakened halfway.

Mainly because the bloodline power in the crystal sphere was too complex; after Ye Liuyun's purification, only this much remained!

Yet this is far faster than cultivating it himself.

So Ye Liuyun stored the blood-colored crystal sphere. Though the technique is evil, it can be used on villains. He isn't the stubborn type, so he naturally wouldn't simply destroy the crystal sphere.

Afterwards, he also released Lei Ming, intending to take them and storm straight into a Blood Demon Sect branch.

Shi Yuan's massive body caused the ground to tremble with each step. Bai Hu's roar also startled the Blood Demon Sect's masters, who rushed out to guard the branch.

Ye Liuyun, brandishing a sword, swaggered with the three of them and charged straight into the Blood Demon Sect branch.

Lei Ming also grew a larger body, trampling everything in his path.

The Blood Demon Sect, seeing this lineup, turned a ghastly pale.

Ye Liuyun specifically chose opponents of the Sea Transformation Third and Fourth Layers to fight, leaving the First and Second Layers to Lei Ming.

To handle Sea Transformation Third Layer, he used his sword and body to hard‑push; for Sea Transformation Fourth Layer, he fought one head‑on and resolved another with a Soul Sword.

Then he paused to rest, restoring True Essence, and ordered Bai Hu and Shi Yuan to herd the Blood Demon Sect Sea Transformation disciples into a Grand Hall, leaving them for him and Lei Ming to spar.

For the other disciples, he used Illusion Pupil's illusion magic, Lightning Prison Cage and Thunderfire Annihilation to slaughter them indiscriminately; those who fled he ignored. Shi Yuan and Bai Hu tried to kill as many as possible, stuffing the corpses into Storage Rings for future food,

waiting until he and Lei Ming's True Essence recovered, then pulling out disciples of corresponding realms to fight.

These Blood Demon Sect disciples, who usually wielded power, now finally tasted what it means to be slaughtered.

Ye Liuyun was also ruthless toward them. He and Lei Ming quickly exterminated the Blood Demon Sect disciples, leaving only one, Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was at the early stage of Sea Transformation Sixth Layer; fighting him was pure masochism for Ye Liuyun.

Chen Yu also resented him for using him as a sparring partner, so he struck without mercy. He knew Bai Hu and Shi Yuan were present; he couldn't kill Ye Liuyun, but could wound him gravely, allowing himself to live a bit longer.

Ye Liuyun exhausted his True Essence without harming Chen Yu, only to be battered by Chen Yu. He had to let Bai Hu imprison Chen Yu again, waiting for his recovery before fighting.

During this time, Lei Ming had already retrieved all the Storage Rings, including Chen Yu's, to prevent any hidden treasure from being used against Ye Liuyun.

After recovering, Ye Liuyun's True Essence liquefaction had risen to ninety percent, barely short of breaking through to the Sea Transformation realm.

So he dragged Chen Yu out for another bout, and the result was the same—he was once again brutally beaten.

"Ye Liuyun, if you have the skill, kill me! But as long as I don't die, the humiliation you gave me today I will repay double." Chen Yu glared viciously at Ye Liuyun, then Bai Hu tossed him back outright.

Ye Liuyun took a Healing Elixir, recovered, then swallowed a Condensing Core Pill, beginning to restore True Essence.

The two battles with Chen Yu were truly exhilarating; Chen Yu showed no restraint. Ye Liuyun's combat ability also improved greatly, but the huge realm gap between him and Chen Yu still prevented victory.

He didn't want to use the Soul Sword to instantly annihilate Chen Yu; he wanted to spar with him a few more times. A sparring partner like Chen Yu isn't easy to find.

In the next two days, Ye Liuyun and Chen Yu fought three times; his internal True Essence was just a hair away from fully liquefying.
