Chapter 60: Anyone Who Steeps In Will Die!

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Kill the thief!”

Cui Family’s patriarch gave the command.

Instantly, all the guards and martial artists aimed their crossbows at Lu Changsheng and steadily approached.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng stood outside the alchemy room, his gaze fixed on the Cui Family’s guards.

He could even hear footsteps coming from all directions, indicating that people from the Cui Family were closing in from all sides.

The distance was slowly closing in.

Twenty zhang, fifteen zhang, ten zhang…

When the people from the Cui Family stepped within ten zhang of him, a glint of determination flashed in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

Once his Silk Organ Sword exceeded a distance of three zhang, its power would sharply decrease, and his energy and blood consumption would double. However, he had an immense amount of energy and blood, so he wasn’t worried about the consumption. As long as his energy and blood were plentiful, the Silk Organ Sword had killing power within ten zhang.

If it was within three zhang, even those in the Blood Strengthening Realm would find it difficult to resist. Moreover, how many people in the Cui Family were left in the Blood Strengthening Realm?

Therefore, when the Cui Family’s guards stepped within ten zhang, there was a rumble within Lu Changsheng’s body.

“Hum.”

His energy and blood gushed out of his body in an instant and slowly formed a massive blood cloud above his head, almost like a tangible entity. The enormous energy and blood caused the temperature outside the alchemy room to suddenly rise.

However, even with such a vast amount of energy and blood, Lu Changsheng didn’t stop; his energy and blood continued to accumulate.

“Energy and blood like a cloud! How can a warrior below the Divine Power Realm possess such terrifying energy and blood?”

“Even Divine Power Realm warriors have only this much energy and blood, right?”

Many members of the Cui Family were in awe.

“Swish.”

The next moment, Lu Changsheng abruptly opened his eyes.

“Energy and blood transform into Silk Organ!”

Lu Changsheng shouted.

At the same time, the blood cloud above his head instantly split apart.

One into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand, a thousand into ten thousand…

In the blink of an eye, the energy and blood cloud transformed into countless strands of silk, and each strand of silk seemed to carry the sharpness of a sword.

“Silk Organ Sword, kill!”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand.

Thousands of Silk Organ Swords instantly rained down in all directions towards the Cui Family’s guards!

Seeing the overwhelming shower of Silk Organ Swords, everyone from the Cui Family was dumbfounded.

Especially the more knowledgeable martial artists.

They knew about releasing energy and blood, and they could do it themselves, but their energy and blood release had almost no power beyond three zhang. In fact, their energy and blood would dissipate. But now?

This was nearly ten zhang away!

Whose energy and blood could withstand ten zhang without diminishing?

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.”

The energy and blood above Lu Changsheng’s head turned into countless strands of silk, as dense as raindrops, falling onto the Cui Family’s guards from all directions.

“Don’t panic; releasing energy and blood beyond ten zhang has no power at all.”

“Just protect the vital areas.”

“Releasing energy and blood beyond ten zhang has no killing power; it’s just a waste of energy and blood.”

Some martial artists from the Cui Family shouted loudly, and the guards’ minds were slightly reassured.

Faced with the densely packed “Silk Organ Swords,” they merely covered their faces with their hands.

In an instant, the Silk Organ Swords landed among the crowd.

“Splurt.”

Immediately, the Silk Organ Swords instantly entered the bodies of many guards. Each strand of Silk Organ Sword was like a real sword, piercing directly into their bodies. Some even had their bodies penetrated by the Silk Organ Swords.

“All…”

“My hand…”

“Save me…”

When the Silk Organ Swords descended, hundreds of guards from all directions fell to the ground, each one groaning in agony.

Some had their hands and feet pierced, rendering them unable to stand.

Others had wounds covering their abdomens and bodies.

And some had their hearts or vital areas pierced, dropping to the ground as lifeless corpses.

Witnessing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath of cold air.

Those still standing were at least ten zhang away. After all, beyond ten zhang, the Silk Organ Swords had virtually no power.

But within ten zhang, hardly anyone remained on their feet. Whether they were ordinary people or Blood Strengthening Realm martial artists, or Body-forging Realm martial artists, they all fell to the ground, either dead or severely wounded.

This sight was profoundly shocking to all who witnessed it.

After all, hundreds of people were instantly overwhelmed by a wave of “energy and blood-transformed swords.”

This display was incredibly impactful.

“How is this possible?”

“Can this thief really release energy and blood up to ten zhang away and have such substantial killing power, even against Body-forging Realm martial artists?”

Not to mention Body-forging Realm martial artists? This level of energy and blood might even pose a threat to Organ Refining martial artists.”

“Absolutely must not approach within ten zhang! No wonder this thief managed to kill the three elders of the Cui Family. With this kind of strength, who in the Body-forging Realm can oppose him?”

Some of the remaining martial artists from the Cui Family immediately took a few steps back, moving further away from the alchemy room, retreating to a distance of over ten zhang.

“Family Head, what should we do?”

The gazes of the remaining martial artists turned toward the Cui Family’s patriarch.

The Cui Family’s patriarch looked at the martial artists around him and said in a solemn tone, “Within ten zhang, his energy and blood, although possessing some power, should be insufficient to harm Organ Refining martial artists.”

“Moreover, by releasing such a vast amount of energy and blood, he has undoubtedly depleted a significant portion of his reserves. With Cui Jiu’s return and our nine remaining Organ Refining martial artists, if we all attack together, we can certainly kill him.”

“What do you think?”

In reality, the Cui Family’s patriarch’s attention was mainly focused on the three honored figures.

Among the three honored figures, two were at the peak of Organ Refining martial artists.

With the three elders of the Cui Family already deceased, the “weight” of these two peak Organ Refining honored figures became even more significant.

One of the honored figures appeared to be a monk. He glanced at the corpses of the three Cui Family elders on the ground, as well as the numerous guards still groaning and writhing in pain, and then smiled, “Family Head, I think it would be prudent to request Elder Lu Tong from Sword-Hanging Mountain to come down.”

“If Elder Lu Tong descends, even if the other party is exceptionally powerful, Elder Lu Tong can suppress him.”

“We just need to surround the alchemy room, so why take unnecessary risks?”

The Cui Family’s patriarch’s expression changed slightly.

Lu Tong?

If they were to bring Lu Tong here, what would be left for the Cui Family? The number of Easy Marrow Pills they could obtain would probably be significantly reduced.

“Master Kong Yan, if Elder Lu Tong descends, he can certainly suppress minor threats. However, Sword-Hanging Mountain is several hundred li away from Giant Tablet City. If we send someone to Sword-Hanging Mountain to inform Eider Lu Tong and he comes down from there, the round trip will take at least a dozen hours.”

“In that long span of time, the thief will probably have escaped.”

The Cui Family’s patriarch said in a low voice.

“Escaped?”

“Family Head, i haven’t seen any indication that this thief intends to escape.”

It appears that he is looking for something. Do you know what the thief is searching for? If he can’t find what he’s looking for, he will undoubtedly stay. We can then engage him once Elder Lu Tong arrives.”

The monk, Master Kong Yan, said with a smile that held deeper meaning.

The Cui Family’s patriarch’s expression darkened.

The matter of Easy Marrow Pills had been highly confidential within the Cui Family, with many members unaware of it. Among the honored figures, only Luo Tian and Master Kong Yan were aware of it.

The Cui Family would never have spread the word about Easy Marrow Pills, and they wouldn’t even let their honored figures know about it, as it could lead to insubordination among them. And the Cui Family’s patriarch understood Master Kong Yan’s implication: he didn’t want to take any risks.

“Very well, then immediately send a fast horse to Sword-Hanging Mountain to request Elder Lu Tong to come down!”

The Cui Family’s patriarch had no better option. Relying solely on the few Organ Refining martial artists from the Cui Family, he didn’t dare to make any reckless moves.

With the three elders of the Cui Family now deceased, if the other Organ Refining martial artists from the Cui Family were to sustain further injuries, the Cui Family would have difficulty maintaining its dominance over the three honored figures and securing its position in Giant Tablet City.

The Cui Family’s patriarch didn’t dare to gamble.

So, the Cui Family’s martial artists surrounded the alchemy room but kept their distance, closely monitoring the situation without launching an attack.

Is the Cui Family afraid?”

Lu Changsheng glanced at the Cui Family members, and he probably understood their intentions. They were afraid because of the threat he posed.

However, Lu Changsheng had just released his energy and blood, and his energy and blood had been mostly depleted. But his strength was not solely dependent on energy and blood. With his current physical condition, he could probably defeat most Organ Refining martial artists if he used the Instant Kill Technique. Even if the Cui Family were to attack again, he was confident of repelling them.

Nevertheless, the fact that the Cui Family had halted their attack was favorable to Lu Changsheng. He had come in search of the Easy Marrow Pills, not to annihilate the Cui Family. As long as the Cui Family members didn’t approach the alchemy room, he would pay them no mind.

So, Lu Changsheng spoke up, “Within ten zhang of the alchemy room, stepping inside means death!”

His voice resounded mightily throughout the vicinity of the alchemy room.

The Cui Family members’ expressions slightly changed.

Clearly, within ten zhang of the alchemy room had already become a restricted area where stepping inside meant death.

Many martial artists from the Cui Family were indignant.

The illustrious Cui Family had been marked with a restricted area by a single thief wielding a single sword, an ironic situation. However, no matter how indignant they were, they had to bear with it.

“Let the thief be arrogant a little longer. When Elder Lu Tong comes down, the thief will undoubtedly die!”

The Cui Family’s martial artists were also holding their breath, awaiting the arrival of Elder Lu Tong..
