Chapter 262 Blood Pays

In an instant, boundless sword intent surged towards Xu Han's Heavenly Yuan.

The final obstacle of the Three Elements Realm that an ordinary cultivator would have to cultivate for several years to break through instantly collapsed in front of that sea-like sword intent.

The aura on Xu Han's body rose again.

In a sense, he had already broken through the Three Elements Realm and become a cultivator at the beginning of the Netherpassage Realm. At that time, the sword seed in his body was also nurtured by the Three Elements Realm. The tiny sprouts slowly grew strong, and emerald green leaves began to extend out from all parts of the branches. Next, he only needed to gather the power of three elements and the power of three hundred and sixty-five acupoints to open the Youmen, and then he would be able to reach the Secluded Realm.

With the sword intent still gathered in his body, it wasn't difficult to accomplish this.

However, at this moment, the thin snake-like tentacles that surged out from the Xingtian Sword circled around Xu Han's entire right arm. The head of the tentacles arrived at the shoulder where his right arm was connected to his body.

At that moment, the tentacles' heads let out an excited hissing sound, as if a hungry python had finally seen its fat prey. After a burst of trembling, those tentacles suddenly jumped up and pierced into Xu Han's chest and back from all directions.

"Ah!"

The pain of his flesh being torn apart caused Xu Han to let out a miserable scream, but his blurry consciousness was cleared a little under this pain.

However, those who attacked did not care about Xu Han. After they stabbed into Xu Han's body, they wriggled inside Xu Han's body and then gathered at a certain point on Xu Han's right chest, twisting together.

At that time, the raging power in Xu Han's body seemed to have been somewhat inspired, and it began to continuously surge towards that place.

With the influx of power, the blood-red light bloomed. Under the nourishment of this power, the object formed from the tentacles turned into a round ball of meat, which began to beat slightly as if it had intelligence.

This is…

Xu Han's heart trembled. He felt something familiar from the aura of that thing.

Yuan!

Yes, that thing formed a Yuan in Xu Han's body.

"Yuan" was similar to the human, heavenly, and earthly elements.

However, its aura was cold and filled with intense killing intent. Xu Han did not know how to address the fourth Yuan that had suddenly formed within his body, so he could only temporarily call him Blood Yuan.

Just like how the remnants of the heavenly tribulation had helped him open hundreds of acupoints in his body, the extra "Yuan" meant an extra strand of power. Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, but Xu Han did not have the slightest intention of being happy.

The reason for that was because as the sword intent poured into his body, the red light around the Blood Essence flourished. Once the sword intent poured into his body, it would be contaminated by the blood light and turn into blood. As time passed, the blood-colored sword intent accumulated more and more in Xu Han's body, as if it had a faint intention of infecting Xu Han's body. At that moment, Xu Han came to a realization that this so-called blood essence was evolved from some sort of power within the Heavenly Punishment Sword. If he continued to corrode it like this, he would probably lose control of his body here.

However, most of the power in Xu Han's body came from Xing Tian Sword absorbing the True Spirit of the Heavenly Hunt Realm swordsman. Although they were all entrenched within Xu Han's body, Xu Han did not have the slightest control over these powers, much less mobilize them to resist the Blood Yuan.

Seeing that the blood-colored sword intent was getting denser and denser, Xu Han was helpless.

His right arm wrapped in white cloth suddenly trembled, and purple demonic energy suddenly poured into Xu Han's body.

This kind of change was extremely sudden. It could even be said that there was not a single sign of it.

The purple demonic energy gathered beside Xue Yuan and then transformed into a circular object glowing with purple light. At that time, the surrounding sword intent began to gather towards the purple demonic energy. Soon, a demonic energy similar to the purple demonic energy formed beside Xue Yuan!

The two of them began to absorb the surrounding sword intent crazily, continuously devouring and converting it into blood-colored sword intent and purple sword intent.

Xu Han roughly guessed that the Great Lord's right arm was awakened automatically by the blood energy of the Heavenly Punishment Sword. Naturally, it was unwilling to be controlled by a single sword, so it began to fight with it to seize control of Xu Han's body.

However, this did not change Xu Han's current situation in the slightest. Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Punishment Sword or the Demon Arm that won in the end, Xu Han was still waiting for him to become their puppet.

How could Xu Han be willing to be controlled by a sword or an arm?

He gritted his teeth and began to think about how to deal with the two.

Since both the Demon Yuan and Blood Yuan wanted to control Xu Han by transforming the sword intent in Xu Han's body, why couldn't he use his Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Elements to absorb these powers and seize control of him?

When Xu Han thought of this, he did not hesitate at all. With a thought, the Heaven Earth Human Yuan in his body started to spin violently and began to devour the surrounding energy like the Blood Essence Demon Yuan.

Such an approach is not ineffective.

However, the Demon Yuan and Blood Yuan were clearly more than one level stronger than the Heaven, Earth, and Human Yuan. Even if Xu Han circulated the Three Yuan with all his might, his devouring speed was still far less than one tenth of the two.

If this continued, it was as if he still couldn't escape the fate of being devoured.

Xu Han realized that he needed more Yuan.

But how could something like Yuan be created out of thin air?

If this matter were to be told to others, they would definitely laugh at Xu Han for talking nonsense. However, Xu Han had witnessed the formation of two strands of elemental energy within his body.

He clearly understood this process. In the end, it was a pure power that was condensed together and poured into his body with boundless power, thus forming something similar to the three elements of heaven, earth, and man in his body.

Of course, this was easy to say, but the risk was that words were hard to come by. The slightest bit of carelessness would cause Xu Han's body to explode due to the mutation caused by the gathering of power.

However, to the current Xu Han, he clearly did not have the time to hesitate. He would rather explode to death than watch helplessly as his body was snatched away by the demon arm or Xing Tian.

He wanted to hold his own life in his hands.

If he couldn't, then he would only die.

Xu Han had never hesitated on this matter.

Thus, he carefully began to condense the power in his body in an attempt to create a new Yuan.

However, whenever he condensed his sword intent together and then irrigated it, the sword intent that he had condensed together as the foundation of his origin energy would instantly dissipate.

After several failed attempts, Xu Han finally realized that the essence condensed from sword intent was essentially sword intent. If he poured the same amount of sword intent on it, the condensed sword intent would definitely not be able to withstand this kind of power, so it would disperse. Therefore, if he wanted to condense new essence, he had to find a stronger power than sword intent.

But how could he have such power in his body?

Xu Han fell into deep thought, while the demon essence and blood essence in his body were still constantly converting Xu Han's strength, devouring his body step by step.

The crisis had not subsided, but had instead intensified.

This was the case in Xu Han's body and the situation in the Tian Ce Mansion.

…

Although the middle-aged swordsman had lost his combat strength due to the devouring of his True Spirit, his four companions had rushed in. After a brief moment of surprise, they naturally wanted to take action and leave with the dispirited man.

However, the middle-aged swordsman had witnessed Xuan'er's existence, so how could Ye Hongjian let her leave?

As a result, the two sides began to fight again.

Ye Hongjian relied on her True Spirit to fight against a Heavenly Hunt Realm expert, but the remaining three completely suppressed more than a hundred Tiance Prefecture soldiers.

Very quickly, casualties began to appear in the Tian Ce Mansion Army.

Ye Hongjian saw that the situation was not good, He wanted to kill the middle-aged swordsman, we can eliminate future troubles, However, Ye Hongjian's attitude towards the middle-aged swordsman clearly gave Ye Hongjian a taste. She sacrificed her life to protect him. This made Ye Hongjian's several attacks useless, while the Tiance Prefecture Army began to lose over time. In less than fifteen minutes, more than ten people had died at the hands of those Heavenly Hunt Realm experts.

Ye Hongjian saw these situations in her eyes, but her heart was bleeding.

These Tian Ce Mansion 's troops were all the old troops of the Headmaster back then. After hibernating for nearly ten years in various parts of Great Zhou, they gathered under the Dao Tian Ce Mansion once again without hesitation, just as the Tian Ce Mansion 's decree was issued. Such loyal soldiers were rare in the world. At this moment, they were facing an incomparably powerful Heavenly Hunt Realm expert. Even though they knew that there was no chance of victory, not a single one of the hundreds of people had escaped.

Thinking of this, Ye Hongjian's heart surged with emotions. He turned to look at the pale-faced youth sitting cross-legged on the ground. She knew that Xu Han would not be able to help in a short period of time. Now, Tiance Prefecture could only rely on her.

Ye Hongjian's heart sank. Without any hesitation, the giant red bird behind her let out a long cry. Ye Hongjian wrapped her sword intent in the sky again and charged into the Heavenly Hunt Realm experts.

…

As the blood-colored sword intent and purple sword intent in his body increased, Xu Han's control over his body became weaker and weaker.

The absorption capacity of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Yuan was far inferior to that of the Blood Yuan and Demon Yuan.

Xu Han, who had tried several times without any results, frowned deeply.

He seemed to have reached the point where he had no other choice, but at that moment, he suddenly saw the sword seed in his dantian. As he stepped into the Netherpassage Realm, the buds on the sword seed grew stronger, and four green leaves also grew on the branches.

Xu Han's heart skipped a beat.

The fact that the sword seed could convert any form of power into sword intent meant that the sword seed itself was something that exceeded ordinary power.

Isn't this a collection of pure power?

Naturally, Xu Han did not dare to convert the sword seed into Yuan, but the four green leaves on the sword seed grew from the same root as the sword seed, so they were all useless.

This was a risky move, but Xu Han had no way out. His mind sank, and he began to recall the process of forming the Blood Yuan and Demon Yuan, and began to inject sword intent into the four green leaves.

…

Eldest Young Master Lin never imagined that this happy occasion of marrying Fang Ziyu would turn into a bloody battle between the Tian Ce Mansion and his servants.

Although Lin Kai was stupid, he understood that the current Tian Ce Mansion was not something that a disgraced playboy like him could afford to provoke.

He looked at the corpses of the Tian Ce Mansion army lying on the ground. He immediately panicked. He didn't care about marrying Fang Ziyu and climbing up the Exquisite Pavilion. He turned around and fled this place in panic.

Since the matter had reached such a stage, both sides had their eyes bloodshot. Naturally, no one would care about Young Master Lin's whereabouts anymore.

Fang Ziyu's face was deathly pale. She leapt up again, turning the sword in her hand into ten pieces and pouring it out towards the Heavenly Hunt Realm experts. However, this sword-controlling technique that had once displayed great divine might in Yanlai City was insignificant in front of these Heavenly Hunt Realm experts.

Ling Le's sword blade scratched the faces of those Heavenly Hunt Realm experts, but even the protective true essence of those Heavenly Hunt Realm experts could not be broken. However, his aura was dispirited because he continuously released such a technique. One of the Heavenly Hunt Realm experts found an opportunity and leapt towards her.

Ye Hongjian's mind was several times stronger than Fang Ziyu's. She understood that it was better to cut off one of her fingers than ten fingers. Thus, when she swung away, the aura around her body trembled, forcing away the Heavenly Hunt Realm expert who was fighting with her with the might of a True Spirit. She fought hard to kill the person who attacked Fang Ziyu.

That person obviously did not expect Ye Hongjian to still have such a wrist. He wanted to defend himself, but Fang Ziyu gritted his teeth and released his flying sword again. Ye Hongjian took advantage of this moment to flap the wings of the Divine Bird behind her, and her speed suddenly increased several times. At that moment, she directly removed the head of that person.

Following the death of one of their companions, the expressions of the remaining three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts changed drastically. The violent True Essence poured out from their bodies, and under their anger, they no longer had any scruples. At that time, they used the blade and sword rays to attack Ye Hongjian.

How terrifying were the three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts' full-force attacks? As for Ye Hongjian, her aura was also disordered because of her previous life-threatening battle, and it was simply impossible for her to gather enough True Essence to defend against it.

Everyone cried out in alarm. Seeing the three of them arrive in front of Ye Hongjian, they wanted to rescue him, but they couldn't keep up with the three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts.

Looking at the whistling swords, Ye Hongjian's face turned pale and she revealed a bitter smile.

Unexpectedly, he was going to die here.

At that time, images of the past kept appearing in her mind. She thought about when she was young in Tiance Prefecture, the old man taught her how to be a hero and serve her country and people.

She thought of the day when the Tian Ce Mansion collapsed. Her father held her in his arms and comforted her softly. A gentleman would not stand on a dangerous wall.

She thought about the youth standing outside the Exquisite Pavilion under the lightning tribulation and asked softly, "What's wrong with Xu Han?"

She did not regret it or feel unwilling. After all, she did what she wanted to do, and she did not slack off, nor did she give up. However, there was a hint of guilt in his heart as he dragged the youth who shouldn't have been involved in this matter into this.

Perhaps this kind of guilt could only be repaid in the next life.

As she thought this, she finally closed her eyes and waited for the sword to reach her body, waiting for the inevitable arrival of death.

…

However, there were many things in this world that could not be fulfilled in the end.

For example, Ye Hongjian did not expect that the Tian Ce Mansion would receive a calamity on such an early morning.

For example, she would never have thought that this inevitable death would not come as planned.

The youth sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.

His right eye flickered with a strange purple light, and his left eye was suffused with a scarlet blood light.

His body emitted an overwhelming sword intent.

He stood up, and the Xing Tian Sword in his right arm let out a mournful cry. The red tentacles retreated like a tide.

The youth took a breath and looked around.

There were dozens of corpses lying on the ground. They were dressed in white armor and bathed in blood, but their vitality had long since disappeared.

Not far away, three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts pounced on a girl dressed in red like tigers and wolves.

The strange brilliance in the youth's eyes faded away, and then a dense murderous aura appeared on his forehead.

He didn't say anything.

After a pause, he arrived in front of the girl.

He waved his sword, his sword intent whistling, accompanied by the roar of a dragon.

The three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts were shocked by the youth who had suddenly killed them. Before they could regain their senses, the sword light had already arrived in front of them.

The might of the sword caused the three of them to be stunned. They had no choice but to resist with their swords at that time, but even so, they were still unable to avoid being shaken by the sword light, and their bodies retreated several zhang before they could stabilize their bodies.

They then looked at each other and saw the dense shock in each other's eyes.

Previously, Xu Han's cultivation was only at the Three Origin Realm. How did he advance to the Netherpassage Realm in such a short period of time? Furthermore, judging from the momentum of his sword strike just now, it seemed that it was not something that ordinary Netherpassage Realm cultivators could compare to.

Originally, this was only to use Lin Kai's matter to make things difficult for Tiance Prefecture, but for some reason, it was to this extent. After the anger from before dissipated, the three of them were also a little afraid. At that time, the leader walked over to Xu Han and said, "We don't want to see this happening. If we don't stop here, we won't pursue Senior Brother Lu anymore."

The Senior Brother Lu they were talking about must be the Heavenly Hunt Realm expert who had died at the hands of Ye Hongjian.

They were not clear about Xuan'er's matter. At this moment, they were only making such a proposal because they were afraid of the reputation of the Tian Ce Mansion. After all, there were more than 30 Tian Ce Mansion soldiers who had died at their hands today. Even the one behind them might not be able to protect them even if things went to such a state. It was just a small matter, a small matter.

Furthermore, in their eyes, Xu Han should have no reason to reject them. After all, if the three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts worked together and forced them to fight to the death, they would not be able to bear the consequences, and neither would Tiance Prefecture.

Just when they thought that Xu Han would agree to this proposal and suffer this hidden loss.

The youth pointed at the corpses of dozens of Tiance Prefecture soldiers on the ground. He looked at the three with a frosty expression and asked, "Ask them if they agree?"

When the three of them heard this, their expressions changed. Immediately, one of them said in a deep voice.

"I am also very sorry for the casualties of the Tian Ce Mansion Army, but no one else can blame this saber and sword for being blind. Moreover, Senior Brother Lu has also died in battle, and Senior Brother Hong's True Spirit has also been destroyed by the Manor Master, so the Manor Master shouldn't be so unforgiving." The man said this with a gloomy brow and a threatening tone.

"True Spirit? Senior Brother Lu?"

At that moment, the youth smiled faintly, his tender face covered in frost.

He raised his sword again and shook his head regretfully.

"I'm sorry, what you said, in my opinion…"

"It's worthless."

…

After Xu Han finished speaking, he completely lost interest in speaking to the three of them.

His body suddenly moved. The Xingtian Sword blood in his hand lit up and went straight to one of the people's faces.

The pale yellow sword intent wrapped around the sword body of the Heavenly Punishment Sword. A flood dragon wrapped around the sword body faintly, and its might was so great that even Heavenly Hunt Realm experts were secretly frightened.

The other two were shocked when they saw Xu Han's ruthless actions, but they had no choice but to hurriedly attack and kill Xu Han from both sides in order to save their companions.

However, at that time, the aura in Xu Han's body burst forth, and two shadows, one purple and one red, suddenly appeared.

The purple figure had the body of a dragon-headed sparrow, and the demonic aura around it was overflowing.

The red figure was like an Asura, densely packed with blood energy and filled with killing intent.

They appeared on Xu Han's left and right sides, blocking the two people who were coming at him.

True Spirit!

The expressions of the two changed. The two shadows that appeared were clearly True Spirits. But how could Xu Han, who had just arrived at the Nether Opening Realm, condense a True Spirit within such a short period of time?

Such doubts transformed into terror that rose to their foreheads.

But in the next moment, the horror on his face froze.

Time seemed to have stopped, and the bodies of the three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts stopped at that moment.

On the other hand, Xu Han's body returned to the distance, retracting his sword and sheathing it. The two purple and red figures also entered his body.

His expression was cold, but he didn't look at the three of them for a moment.

Just as everyone was puzzled.

Pu!

An extremely small sound exploded at the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion.

Then, a slit appeared between the three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts' eyebrows and spread out like a poisonous snake towards their surroundings.

After a few breaths, the cracks covered their entire bodies.

Bang!

Another crisp sound rang out.

Almost at the same time, the bodies of the three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts exploded, their flesh and blood tore apart, turning into powder that scattered all over the ground.

Xu Han, who had taken the lives of three Heavenly Hunt Realm experts in a single move, did not show any signs of lust.

He turned around, helped Ye Hongjian and Fang Ziyu up, and sat on the stone seat in the mansion. She picked up Xuan'er from the ground and carefully carried her to Qin Keqing's hand. She whispered, "Take good care of her."

After doing this, the youth silently lifted the pale-faced middle-aged swordsman's body and threw him fiercely in front of the Heavenly Policy Army like mud.

His gaze swept across the bloody bodies of the Heavenly Policy Army.

After a few breaths, he finally said in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of place the Headmaster's Tiance Prefecture is."

"But from today onwards, the Tian Ce Mansion in my Xu Han's hands."

"I need to change my appearance."

"In today's change, our Tian Ce Mansion lost thirty-seven valiant warriors."

"I don't care where these Heavenly Hunt Realm experts came from, but I know that the mastermind behind them is Gu and Zhao families."

"Therefore, they must pay the price."

"We need to let them know that the Tian Ce Mansion…"

"There is vengeance, there is blood!"

After Xu Han finished speaking, his aura swayed. The Heaven Punishing Sword on his back was once again held in his hand. He raised it high up and took a random step forward. He fiercely stepped on the middle-aged swordsman's head. The middle-aged swordsman's head was split apart under that foot and blood sprayed all over the ground.

The soldiers of the Tian Ce Mansion had solemn expressions on their faces. At that time, they raised their swords and shouted loudly.

"There is vengeance, there is blood!"

This voice continued to echo through the bloodstained doors of the Tian Ce Mansion.
