With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

Ah Qing pointed her finger, and the blood-red puppet that had been sitting still suddenly went berserk.

With a loud bang.

The blood puppet's withered arm bulged, its nails growing three inches long, jet black and sharp, gleaming with an eerie blood-red light, aimed straight at Lin Yan's neck, trying to scratch him and inject that strange "blood poison" into his body, completely assimilating this young man with abundant blood energy and excellent physique.

Blood puppets are low-level puppets created by members of the Blood Sacrifice Cult. They have no independent consciousness and only obey the commands of their creators. They have hard bodies and are as strong as oxen, comparable to martial artists.

What's even more frightening is that the blood puppet contains a strange blood poison. Once scratched or bitten, ordinary people will be quickly assimilated by the evil blood and become new blood puppets.

Even if a martial artist is injured, this tainted blood energy will interfere with their meridians and hinder the flow of spiritual power. Over time, they will transform into an even more ferocious and terrifying puppet.

This is also why the Blood Sacrifice Church is opposed by various forces; it acts without restraint and poses a great threat to ordinary people and martial artists.

A foul stench assaulted his senses, and a malevolent aura rushed toward Lin Yan. Any ordinary person who came into contact with even a trace of it would have their mind devoured and their blood drained, turning them into a dried-up corpse to be used by others.

The driver next to him was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He could only stare at the road ahead, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, not daring to make the slightest movement, for fear that he would die on the spot.

However, Lin Yan remained calm and showed no sign of panic. He struck first despite being the one who was behind, twisting his body and releasing a thunderous roar from within. He unleashed a punch with all his might, shattering the chair that had been restricting his movements.

After a night of arduous study of the Daoist scriptures, he cultivated and strengthened his Bitter Sea, undergoing a complete transformation. His physical body was far superior to that of ordinary people. However, since he had never fought anyone before, Lin Yan was unsure of his own strength.

However, through the teachings and example of many elders, he deeply understood the principle that "even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit."

Without holding back or testing him, the life essence surging from the sea of ​​suffering flowed to his limbs and bones. Every muscle in his body trembled and roared, and the blood vessels beneath his skin seemed to contain raging rivers. The collision of tendons and bones produced a thunderous roar.

This punch was unremarkable, without any fancy martial arts techniques, just pure physical strength, yet it carried an overwhelming and domineering power. The air was torn apart by the force of the punch, creating a visible white shockwave.

boom!

The dullest sound of the collision suddenly exploded.

The anticipated scene of Lin Yan being scratched by the blood puppet, tainted by its blood poison, and becoming another blood puppet did not occur.

That jet-black claw, capable of tearing through steel and scratching martial artists, shattered instantly upon colliding with Lin Yan's fist!

Black fingernails, broken into pieces, scattered everywhere. The blood puppet's arm, as hard as alloy, was shattered by a single punch. The foul-smelling blood was instantly purified by the life essence emanating from Lin Yan's fist, not even a trace of it could get close to his body.

"roar!"

The blood-red puppet let out a hoarse, piercing, inhuman roar. Feeling no pain, it tried to swing its other intact arm to continue attacking Lin Yan, but was directly blasted away by the terrifying fist force that had not yet dissipated. It pierced through the car hood and crashed heavily onto the asphalt road.

Click!

In an instant, countless cracks covered the ground, spreading like a spider web. Debris flew everywhere, and half of the blood-red puppet's body caved in and collapsed. The evil blood energy surging within it dissipated rapidly at a visible speed, like a pile of rotten flesh lying in a pit.

With just one strike, this blood-red puppet, comparable to a first-tier martial artist, lost most of its combat power.

stab-

The screeching sound of brakes echoed in the ears of the three people. The driver reflexively stepped on the brakes and brought the car to a stop.

"How is that possible?"

Ah Qing's pupils suddenly contracted, and the composed smile on her face shattered completely, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief.

You should know that a complete blood puppet is enough to fight a martial artist head-on, and Lin Yan looks like just a high school student, yet he has such terrifying physical strength?!

Immediately afterwards, a surge of joy welled up. This young man was undoubtedly a young prodigy carefully cultivated by the Great Xia Dynasty. If he could kill him or refine him into a blood puppet, it would be a great achievement, and perhaps he could exchange it for the resources needed to break through to the third rank.

Currently, the spiritual energy of Blue Star has not been recovering for very long. The most powerful figures in various organizations are only at the fourth rank. The second rank is already the backbone of the group. If they can break through to the third rank, they can be called powerful figures.

At that time, there would be no need for her to personally carry out such dangerous missions; she would naturally have plenty of people under her command willing to risk their lives for her!

boom!

Lin Yan seized the fleeting moment when A Qing was stunned. Without the slightest hesitation, he acted entirely on instinct, like a nimble cat, suddenly pouncing on her and slamming a large hand down on her crown.

Reality is not a turn-based game. Ah Qing was initially overconfident that the Blood Puppet was enough to take down Lin Yan, so she didn't make a move. However, when she saw Lin Yan violently crushing the Blood Puppet, she was stunned, which gave Lin Yan an excellent opportunity to attack.

He wouldn't give her a chance to adjust; he had to strike while she was down!

"die!"

Lin Yan spoke softly, his speed so fast that he left only a blur.

Before Ah Qing could even activate the evil power within her body, she saw the young man's figure suddenly approach her. A vast, mountain-like sense of oppression enveloped her entire body, causing her meridians to stiffen and her whole body to feel cold. She felt fear and trembling from the depths of her soul.

This is absolute suppression based on rank and life level!

They practice completely different martial arts!

The next second, Lin Yan's five fingers formed a claw and directly gripped A Qing's head. He controlled the force with ease, completely sealing off any room for her to struggle, and lifted her onto the road.

"Tell me, why are you targeting gyms? What exactly is your purpose, or rather, what you all are doing?"

Lin Yan's eyes were cold and menacing as he secretly exerted force with his fingertips, making Ah Qing's skull crack.

"Heh heh heh, if you've got the guts, just kill me! I guarantee you and everyone around you will pay with their lives!"

Although Ah Qing's face was deathly pale, her blood-red pupils still revealed an indescribable madness, and the strange patterns on her body meandered and crawled, as if they had a life of their own.

hum!

Suddenly, a strong sense of unease overwhelmed Lin Yan. Without thinking, he immediately backed away and moved away from A Qing as quickly as possible.

With a loud bang, the cultist's body exploded, and a chilling beam of blood-red light shot into the sky, transforming into a strange blood lotus pattern.

In that instant, Lin Yan keenly sensed that the air in this area had suddenly become incredibly turbid. The originally thin but still relatively clean spiritual energy of heaven and earth had been quietly mixed with a strange blood energy similar to that inside the blood puppet, which resonated with the blood lotus mark and created a strange resonance.
