Back on Earth, I am the only cultivator.

Jiang Chuxue and Wu Xi followed closely behind, while Wang Hao took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and strode after them.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap."

The air-raid shelter was eerie and terrifying, with water droplets constantly dripping from the damp stone walls.

The deeper you go, the stronger the stench of blood becomes in the air, even faintly mixed with a trace of yin energy.

At the end of the passage, a huge underground cavern suddenly opened up.

However, the scene before them made the four people who entered gasp in shock.

In the center of the cave, there was a huge pool of blood, about five meters in diameter!

The pool water was incredibly viscous, with an eerie dark red color.

At this moment, blood was bubbling and gurgling, and a strong smell of blood was constantly wafting out.

At this moment, around the blood pool, six evil martial artists with strength ranging from Earth to Heaven level sat cross-legged.

They were shirtless, with faint crimson mist swirling around them, and were frantically inhaling the blood mist rising from the blood pool.

"Haha, Second Brother,"

"The precious blood and sweat of those infants brought in on the second day of the Lunar New Year..."

"The quality is truly top-notch!"

A late-stage Earth-level martial artist greedily devoured the blood mist while chuckling strangely.

"This blood energy is incredibly pure! I feel like if I absorb it for another two days, I can break through the bottleneck that's been holding me for three years!"

The one called Second Brother was a one-eyed martial artist at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm. He smiled sinisterly:

"Of course, that kid Chen Guoxiong is keeping watch at the maternity hospital."

"They keep supplying us with these good products."

"However, there seemed to be some commotion outside just now."

"The third brother and the others went out to check, why haven't they come back yet?"

"Sigh, Second Brother, you're just too cautious."

Another martial artist curled his lip in disdain.

"The third brother and his dozen or so men are guarding outside; each one is a master of at least the Xuan level."

"Scarface is even at the mid-stage of the Earth level."

"In this city, who dares to be so foolish as to provoke the Blood Fiend Society?"

"It's probably some clueless family member who's come looking for trouble again."

"They could easily kill him and throw him into the back hills to feed the dogs."

"My son's blood! My son's blood is there!"

When Wang Hao heard their conversation, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He stared intently at the dark red blood in the pool, his heart aching so much he felt like he was suffocating.

"You man-eating beasts! I'm going to kill you all!"

Wang Hao let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire cave.

The six martial artists beside the blood pool were startled, waking up from their cultivation and looking towards the entrance of the passage.

"Who?!"

"How did the third brother and his men guard the place? How did they let ordinary people in?"

"No! The third brother and the others have disappeared!"

The one-eyed warrior suddenly stood up.

His hand was already gripping the demon-headed sword at his side.

However, when his gaze fell on Wu Fan and the other three, he was taken aback.

"What happened?"

"Why is there not a trace of martial arts internal energy emanating from these four people?"

"Is he really an ordinary person?"

"How could an ordinary person possibly kill Lao San and his gang?"

"Something's wrong! Let's kill them together!"

After saying that, he raised his sword and slashed at Wu Fan and the other three.

"You beasts! Die!"

Wu Xi's eyes turned completely red. In that pool of blood, the blood of countless innocent infants like Xiao Bao had flowed!

She didn't even need Wu Fan to tell her what to do; her small hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and the icy spiritual energy within her body flowed rapidly.

"Ice Spikes!"

Wu Xi shouted and pushed forward hard with both hands, her ten fingers pointing outwards.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

At the top of the stone chamber, hundreds of densely packed, dark blue ice spikes instantly condensed, resembling a terrifying ice forest.

"What?! What kind of method is this?!"

The one-eyed warrior's expression changed drastically. He felt a destructive, extremely cold pressure amidst the countless blue ice spikes.

That was not the internal energy of a martial artist at all; it was clearly beyond his comprehension!

"Retreat quickly! Activate your protective aura!"

The one-eyed warrior roared, his Heavenly Rank martial arts energy surging wildly within him, condensing a faint layer of red aura on his body's surface.

However, in the face of a cultivator who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, the internal strength of ordinary martial arts is as fragile as paper.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, hundreds of ice-blue streaks of light shot through the air, instantly enveloping the figures of the martial artists.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh filled the air.

The Earth-level martial artist, who had just been greedily devouring the blood mist, didn't even have time to let out a scream.

His head and heart were instantly pierced by three ice spikes.

The extreme cold quickly froze him, turning him into an ice sculpture with a terrified expression.

"No! This is impossible!"

The one-eyed warrior turned deathly pale with fright.

His arms were frozen into ice shards as he tried to block the ice spikes.

The demon-head knife was also broken into several pieces.

The cold air rushed into his body from his severed arm, covering his internal organs with a layer of frost.

"Spare me! Spare my life!"

He managed to utter two words, but before he could finish,

Wu Xi pointed, and another ice spike pierced through the void, directly penetrating his brow.

In just a few breaths, the six mid-level members of the Blood Fiend Society, whose strength ranged from Earth to Heaven, were all turned into ice shards.

The massive blood pool, under the onslaught of the frigid air, had its surface covered by a thick layer of red ice, completely sealing it off.

"Who are you, daring to destroy my Blood Fiend Society branch?!"

Just then, a secret door at the deepest part of the stone chamber suddenly exploded!

The violent black and red internal energy swept out like a storm, blowing away the ice shards that filled the sky.

A figure slowly emerged from behind the secret door.

The man was dressed in a large, dark red robe. He was about sixty years old, with a withered face, sunken eyes, and two faint flashes of bloodlust in his pupils.

His hands had ten hook-shaped fingers, and his fingernails were three inches long and jet black.

The moment this person appeared, the air around him was filled with the oppressive aura unique to a grandmaster-level martial artist.

This old man was none other than Chen Xuehai, the leader of the Blood Fiend Society branch in Mencheng.

As soon as Chen Xuehai regained his footing, he was shocked by the horrific scene before him, and his expression changed drastically.

The ground was covered with dark red ice shards, the blood pool was completely frozen, and there were still a few wisps of icy spiritual energy fluctuations that had not completely dissipated.

"They're all dead?!"

Chen Xuehai's eyes twitched violently.

These were all elites of his Blood Fiend Society, yet they were all wiped out in such a short time?

His gaze swept over Wu Fan and the other three with a sinister look.

However, the result of the scan made his heart skip a beat.

"No martial artist aura?"

"How is this possible?!"

In his perception, there wasn't even the slightest trace of martial arts internal energy cultivation on the two men and two women in front of him.

However, the shattered ice, and the six Earth-level and Profound-level martial artists who were instantly killed in one move...

Everything reminded him that the strength these four people displayed was unbelievably powerful!

Chen Xuehai was able to cultivate to the Grandmaster level, so he was certainly not a brainless fool.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger surging within him.

His withered old face tightened, his expression becoming extremely wary. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"Gentlemen, I am Chen Xuehai, the leader of the Blood Fiend Society's city branch."

"I wonder where my Blood Fiend Sect has offended you all, that you, such powerful figures, would take action and wipe out my entire sect?"

Although his voice was calm, the master-level internal energy within him had been raised to its limit, guarding against a sudden attack from the other party.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao could no longer contain himself, pointed at Chen Xuehai, and roared:

"Chen Xuehai! You beast!"

Do you remember that six-month-old baby who was admitted to the hospital on the second day of the Lunar New Year?!

"That's my son! You drained him of all his blood!"

"And my wife! You drove her to jump off the roof!"

"Today, we've come to make you pay for your blood debts!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuehai frowned slightly at first, then, as if he had thought of something, a look of disdain appeared on his old face:

"So it was all for those lowly commoners' brats?"

"I wonder who this old man is?"

"In this world of martial arts, the law of the jungle prevails."

"That infant Xie was able to offer his vital energy to me, helping me break through the bottleneck of the Grandmaster realm. That is a blessing he has accumulated over ten lifetimes!"

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, it's one thing to be ignorant of fate, but..."

"You actually dare to trespass into a branch of my Blood Fiend Society? Do you really think you can do anything to me?"

At this point, Chen Xuehai proudly puffed out his chest, his crimson aura exploding and creating a gust of wind in the hall. His withered fingers made a grasping motion in the air as he coldly said:

"Gentlemen, I advise you to think before you act!"

"This is merely a small branch of my Blood Fiend Society!"

"The Blood Fiend Society's influence extends throughout China, and its headquarters is overseen by a Grandmaster-level expert!"

"A Grandmaster's wrath can cause millions to fall and rivers of blood to flow! He is a being you cannot even begin to imagine!"

"You have killed so many of my men today; you have already slapped the Blood Fiend Society in the face!"

"If you know what's good for you, kneel down before me right now, offer your neck and slit your own throat to atone for your sins!"

Chen Xuehai's face was full of arrogance. He stretched out his jet-black fingernails and pointed them at Wu Fan and the others in the air:

"If you commit suicide now, I might put in a good word for you with headquarters and spare your family's lives!"

"Otherwise, if we provoke a Grandmaster from our headquarters to take action..."

"Not only will you die,"

"Your parents, sisters, wives, all your relatives and friends,"

"They will all die, and their entire families will be slaughtered!"

"Suicide as an atonement?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fan finally moved.

He slowly stepped forward, his black trench coat fluttering in the blood-red wind.

Those deep eyes looked at Chen Xuehai and said disdainfully:

"Grandmaster? Is that so impressive?"
