From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

"Wan Zhenping, that traitor from the Weapon Forging Sect?"

Chen Xun was secretly alarmed, and then made up his mind to get away from this place of trouble, so he swam even faster.

Due to the limit-breaking characteristic of the breathing technique—[Endless Life]—Chen Xun was able to stay underwater for a long time without surfacing to breathe.

Just as Chen Xun was walking along the riverbed, a great battle broke out on the riverbank.

One side had only Wan Zhenping, while the other side had more than a dozen people.

Furthermore, the leaders had surging blood and qi on their bodies, clearly indicating they were experts at the Blood Exchange Realm.

Wan Zhenping was also at the Blood Exchange Realm, but he was covered in wounds, his right leg was limping, three fingers on his right hand were missing, and his arm was bent, clearly rendering him useless.

Only the left hand remains intact.

He held a blood-red longsword in his intact left hand.

A faint layer of blood mist swirled around the surface of the longsword, making it look extremely eerie.

"Wan Zhenping, hand over the Blood-Drinking Sword, and I'll give you a quick death."

The leader shouted sternly.

His gaze fell upon the Blood-Drinking Sword in Wan Zhenping's hand, but it was filled with deep apprehension.

"Bai Zhanpeng, if you want the Blood-Drinking Sword in my hand, come and take it yourself."

Wan Zhenping's voice was hoarse and his tone was tired, but his eyes remained exceptionally sharp.

"snort."

Bai Zhanpeng snorted coldly and didn't reply.

He wished he could kill Wan Zhenping with a single blow, but he was even more afraid of being taken away by the other party's dying counterattack.

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, another group of people caught up with them.

Bai Zhanpeng's expression changed upon seeing this.

"We can't wait any longer, Bai Xing, Bai Chen, you two take men and charge up there."

Bai Zhanpeng quickly made his selections.

Bai Xing and Bai Chen's expressions changed, but they dared not disobey Bai Zhanpeng's orders. They gritted their teeth and led the other members of the Bai family to attack Wan Zhenping.

These two are also martial artists at the Blood Exchange Realm, possessing extraordinary strength.

However, they were hesitant and restrained when facing Wan Zhenping.

Because they knew just how sinister and terrifying the sword in Wan Zhenping's hand was.

"Ah!" A scream rang out quickly.

A martial artist from the Bai family, at the Iron Bone Realm, was only grazed by the Blood-Drinking Sword, but a large amount of blood gushed from the wound and could not be stopped.

Within a few breaths, the Iron Bone Realm warrior lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, and then bled out the last drop of blood from his body while unconscious.

This is the sinister nature of the Blood-Drinking Sword. Wounds caused by it not only fail to heal, but also cause the blood in the body to boil and continuously flow out of the wound until death.

During the previous pursuit and siege, Wan Zhenping used this method to kill several Blood Exchange Realm martial artists.

One of them was a direct descendant of the Bai family.

Therefore, the Bai family intensified their pursuit of Wan Zhenping, which led to Bai Zhanpeng leading the team this time.

This person is a direct descendant of the Bai family, a powerful individual who has undergone four bloodline changes.

He is one of the few members of the Bai family who has the best chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Damn it, it's happening again."

Shirahoshi's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Shirahoshi, what are you doing?"

Behind him, Bai Zhanpeng's urging voice rang out, making Bai Xing's expression even more unpleasant.

Although he was also at the Blood Exchange Realm, he was only from a collateral branch of the Bai family, and his strength and status were far lower than Bai Zhanpeng's. Therefore, he had no choice but to obey Bai Zhanpeng's orders.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, used his defensive sword technique, and approached Wan Zhenping.

He planned to slowly wear down Wan Zhenping's physical strength.

His idea was good, but reality didn't go as he planned.

"Where is Wan Zhenping? The Bai family is here too. Hurry, don't let the Bai family take the Blood-Drinking Sword away."

A group of warriors with golden ginseng tattoos on their bodies quickly joined the battle.

"We discovered the Yang family and Wan Zhenping first, so don't interfere."

Bai Zhanpeng tried to stop them, but was blocked by the leader of the Yang family martial artists.

"Bai Zhanpeng, I am your opponent."

"Yang Tianzhen, you are no match for me, get out of my way."

"Yeah?"

The two then began to fight.

After a few moves, Bai Zhanpeng's expression changed, and he quickly retreated several meters away.

"You broke through?"

Bai Zhanpeng stared at Yang Tianzhen in disbelief.

"Not bad, I was lucky enough to be rewarded with a spirit pill by the clan leader. I just broke through not long ago."

Yang Tianzhen said with a hint of pride.

After listening, Bai Zhanpeng's face showed envy, and then his expression became serious.

The Bai family members are indeed unparalleled in combat power at the same level.

But Yang Tianzhen has already undergone five personnel changes, so at most he can only restrain him, let alone defeat him.

It's important to know that each additional blood exchange in the Blood Exchange Realm results in a significant increase in strength.

With Bai Zhanpeng tied down by Yang Tianzhen, the Bai and Yang families began to fight over Wan Zhenping.

In the chaos, Wan Zhenping killed several people from both sides before diving into the water and escaping.

"Oh no, Wan Zhenping is trying to escape again! Chase him!"

Both sides immediately ceased fighting and began the pursuit.

A wave of water swam hundreds of meters downstream in the Baisha River before disappearing and the water returned to calm.

"He ran downstream, hurry and chase him."

Both groups immediately pursued downstream.

Not long after they gave chase, Wan Zhenping emerged from the river, breathing heavily.

"snort."

He glanced downstream, snorted, and immediately went ashore, running upstream.

However, after running only two or three miles, his pursuers caught up with him again.

This time, the two sides seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, no longer fighting amongst themselves, but instead attacking simultaneously to surround and kill Wan Zhenping.

Wan Zhenping fought desperately, but eventually collapsed.

Around him lay several blood-dried corpses, some from the Bai family and some from the Yang family.

"He's finally fallen! Quickly, snatch the Bloodthirsty Sword from his hand!"

Yang Tianzhen and Bai Zhanpeng shouted at the same time.

The tacit understanding between the two sides immediately vanished, replaced by a struggle and battle.

Just as a member of the Bai family was about to touch the Blood-Drinking Sword, Wan Zhenping, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly rose from the dead and pierced the Bai family member with his sword.

The next moment, the body of the pierced Bai family member rapidly dried up. His blood was being absorbed by the Blood-Drinking Sword at an extremely fast speed, and then transformed into vital energy that was poured into Wan Zhenping's body, causing him to shudder.

This is the second ability of the Blood-Drinking Sword: it can absorb the blood of others and turn it into its own power.

Seeing this, fear and greed flashed in Yang Tianzhen and Bai Zhanpeng's eyes.

But soon, it turned into panic.

"don't want."

They rushed toward Wan Zhenping, but it was too late.

"I'd rather die than let you succeed."

It turned out that Wan Zhenping, having regained some strength, used his last bit of power to throw the sword in his hand into the river.

The Blood-Drinking Sword fell into the White Sand River with a splash and disappeared.

Damn it.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Zhanpeng's eyes burned with murderous intent. As he passed Wan Zhenping, he slashed with his knife, and a huge head flew off.

Yang Tianzhen glanced at it briefly before diving into the river to search for the Blood-Drinking Sword.

After killing the man, Bai Zhanpeng followed suit and jumped into the river.

The Bai and Yang families exchanged a glance, then some jumped into the river to search, while others searched along the riverbank.

Wan Zhenping's body was left there exposed.

Not long after, the sounds of battle came from downstream, which meant that the Blood-Drinking Sword had probably been found.

Just then, a figure stealthily approached Wan Zhenping's headless corpse.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Chen Xun.

It turned out that Chen Xun swam upstream and when he got to this area, he saw that there was no one around, so he quickly came out of the river and hid in a small grove of trees to dry his clothes before leaving.

Then I saw this scene.

So, after everyone left, he didn't dare linger and prepared to leave in a hurry.

As he passed Wan Zhenping's body, he instinctively stopped.

Then he started touching the corpse and actually found a few things.

Without even looking, he casually packed it up, put it on his head, swam across the Baisha River, reached the other side, and then disappeared.

It was an hour later when others came to deal with Wan Zhenping's body.

"Something was stolen."

"Who could it be?"

"Who knows? There were so many people back then, anyone could have been a suspect."

"Forget it, there's nothing good about it anyway. The only valuable thing, the Blood-Drinking Sword, was taken by the Bai family."

"How outrageous! Aren't the Bai family supposed to use knives? Why are they trying to steal this sword?"

"Who knows? Maybe they want to trade with the Weapon Forging Sect for a sword of the same quality."

The two men talked as they collected the body.
