I Can Merge Techniques

PSHCK!

A Divine Power Realm expert from the Blood Shadow Sect, who had only just reacted and was attempting to counter with his own blade, couldn’t even see the weapon’s trajectory before the Black Abyss precisely pierced his heart. Blood sprayed forth.

The terrifying Demonic Qi and Evil Qi contained within the incomparably sharp blade instantly erupted. They surged into his body like maggots burrowing into bone, completely devouring his life force and soul, leaving nothing behind!

...

Cold Crow Valley, a place shrouded in miasma, was now drowned out by earth-shaking war cries and shrill, miserable screams, having become a hell on earth.

The thick stench of blood mixed with the valley’s inherent poisonous fog and dust, creating a nauseating, bizarre odor that permeated every inch of the air.

The Blood Shadow Sect had clearly earned their reputation, having been entrenched here for many years.

Including the unfathomable Sect Leader, Zhang Lie, they had a full twelve Acupoint Realm experts presiding over the valley—a formidable force!

Sect Leader Zhang Lie’s cultivation was at the peak of the Fifth Heaven of the Acupoint Realm. His aura was as vast and deep as an ocean, utterly unfathomable.

With his power alone, he kept three Demon Suppression Captains from the Demon Suppression Bureau completely tied down!

Beneath him were two Guardians, both top-tier experts at the Fourth Heaven of the Acupoint Realm. Their combat prowess was considerable, and they were locked in a fierce, unending battle with the other experts from the Demon Suppression Bureau.

However, even though the Blood Shadow Sect had superior numbers and the home-field advantage, the Demon Suppression Bureau still held firm control over the battlefield!

This wasn’t just because the members of the Demon Suppression Bureau were well-coordinated and individually powerful, but also because a wild card who didn’t play by the rules had joined their ranks—Chu Fan!

Chu Fan’s speed was not the slightest bit slower than that of Li Mubai, who was at the peak of the Acupoint Realm!

He zipped back and forth across the battlefield like a phantom, his movements erratic and unpredictable. When he struck, it was with the force of a thunderbolt. Every move was fatal, leaving no one alive in his wake!

CH-CH-CH—!

The ear-piercing sound of a sharp blade tearing through flesh echoed again and again.

The blood-red glow of the Demon Blade, Black Abyss, flared in Chu Fan’s hand. A condensed, almost tangible Blade Qi swept out, cleanly and decisively slicing five screaming Blood Shadow Sect members who were charging from all directions in half at the waist.

Five bloody, bisected corpses crashed to the ground. Their hot blood instantly stained the scorched earth, releasing a thick, metallic stench.

Chu Fan combined the swiftness of the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step with the overbearing power of the Nine Tribulations Blood Prison Saber to utter perfection.

His figure weaved through the battlefield like a specter. Each swing of his saber was like the descent of a hellish tribulation. Everywhere he went, it was truly as if a God of Slaughter had descended—no one could stop him!

Even a Martial Artist who had just entered the Acupoint Realm couldn’t withstand a single strike from him and could only die filled with regret!

His figure flashed again. Another six Blood Shadow Sect members, their faces twisted with madness and brutality, charged Chu Fan in a pincer attack, heedless of their own lives. The air filled with the glint of blades and surging killing intent.

Chu Fan’s eyes shifted slightly. He didn’t attack immediately. His Divine Sense had already detected an unusual fluctuation of Primordial Qi coming from the ruins of a collapsed tower to his right. It was faint, yet powerful!

’Hmm?’

Although his line of sight was blocked by the crumbling walls, under the enhancement of the Demon Dragon Celestial Spirit Scripture’s Spirit Array Map, his Divine Sense could ’see’ everything as clearly as if it were a searchlight...

It was three Blood Shadow Sect disciples in black robes with sinister expressions. They stood in a triangular formation, their fingers flashing through a series of complex Seal Techniques. An incredibly dense Blood Evil Qi was frantically converging and rising from the center of their formation, faintly forming a hideous, spectral image!

’Three Acupoint Realm Warlocks? Trying to cast a Magic Technique in secret?’

Chu Fan’s gaze turned cold. The killing intent in his eyes condensed like ice, growing ever more intense.

If Warlocks of this level successfully joined forces in an array, the power of their completed Magic Technique would be earth-shattering—enough to turn the tide of the entire battle!

Facing the six Blood Shadow Sect disciples charging straight at him, Chu Fan didn’t retreat a single step. Instead, he advanced to meet them.

He boldly unleashed the Nine Tribulations Blood Prison Saber...

His figure shot forward like a lightning bolt, the Blood Evil Qi around him surging.

An arc of blood-red blade light, even more immense and condensed than before, tore through the oppressive darkness, cleaving down with world-ending power!

SPLAT—!

Where the blade arc passed, the Protective Gang Qi the six disciples had hastily erected shattered instantly, as if it were made of paper.

They couldn’t even let out a complete scream before their bodies exploded under the devastating Blade Qi, turning into a cloud of hot, stinking blood mist that sprayed across the ruined debris!

BOOM!

Chu Fan pushed off forcefully, his legs coiling like springs as he kicked off the ground. His body shot into the air like a cannonball, instantly rising dozens of feet to look down upon the battlefield below!

Looking down from his high vantage point, the three Acupoint Realm Warlocks in the darkness of the ruins, their eyes closed as they focused on channeling their Magic Technique, were completely exposed to his sight, with nowhere to hide.

"I won’t let you get away with this! Die!"

There was no way Chu Fan would give them a chance to complete their Magic Technique.

While still in mid-air, he twisted at the waist, and his Primordial Qi flooded into the Black Abyss Saber like a tidal wave.

The body of the Black Abyss Saber let out a low, frenzied demonic howl. "First Tribulation of the Blood Prison, Broken Soul!" With his full power gathered, he furiously slashed downward!

The Blood-colored Blade Gang coalesced into a tangible river of blood, letting out a sharp, soul-tearing shriek as it cleaved down like a thunderbolt from the heavens!

But those three Warlocks were no ordinary practitioners. Seeing the blade arc tearing through the air, in that life-or-death instant, all three retreated backward in unison like phantoms while forcefully shoving their palms forward!

VMMMM—!

An Energy Shield as black as ink, which seemed to absorb all light from the world, instantly materialized, steadily blocking the path of the Blade Gang.

Runes flowed across the shield’s surface, emanating a strange, defensive power.

KABOOM!

The ferocious and overbearing Blade Qi viciously chopped down onto the black shield, creating a deafeningly loud explosion, as if two great mountains had violently collided.
