I Can Merge Techniques

Watching this terrifying, world-ending spectacle, even the battle-hardened Chu Fan couldn’t help but be astonished.

Although he had seized quite a few Talismans from his enemies, he had never truly used them in actual combat.

Having witnessed the explosive power of a high-tier Talisman with his own eyes today, he finally understood just how terrifying these consumable items were. They were truly extraordinary.

"Who goes there! Who dares trespass on the sacred grounds of my Blood Shadow Sect? Such audacity!"

Within Cold Crow Valley, a fierce roar filled with boundless fury and an immense aura shot toward the heavens, causing the very air to tremble.

A figure as thin as a withered branch shot out from a deep, dark cave next to the old castle, his speed as swift as a phantom!

Facing the rain of fire falling from the sky, he neither dodged nor evaded. He simply swiped a withered, claw-like hand through the air, and an incomparably tyrannical wave of Force erupted, forcefully shattering two massive, burning meteorites!

However, despite his immense strength, he couldn’t be everywhere at once and could only stop a mere two!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

An unending series of explosions echoed throughout the valley as dust plumed and rubble flew everywhere!

The giant meteorites rained down, and the old castle in the center of Cold Crow Valley—the very symbol of the Blood Shadow Sect’s power—collapsed with a deafening crash under the first wave of impact, turning into a field of rubble!

The surrounding watchtowers, as if made of paper, instantly crumbled and disintegrated under the meteorites’ impact. Rubble and flesh mingled in a gruesome, unbearable sight.

Countless piercing screams echoed from the ruins...

The Blood Shadow Sect members who were still asleep or completely defenseless didn’t even know what was happening as more than half of them were obliterated in this sudden, cataclysmic attack, leaving not even bones behind!

Most of the lucky survivors were low-level members living in the simple caves at the edge of the valley, or the fortunate few who happened to be out on patrol and avoided the attack.

"Kill! Slaughter them!"

The surviving Blood Shadow Sect members were all desperados. After a brief moment of terror, endless rage and madness surged through them.

They roared, their eyes bloodshot, and brandishing all sorts of weapons, they charged madly from their hiding places, ready to fight the invaders to the death.

However, what greeted them was a second, even denser storm of death!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

In the left hand of Chu Fan and the other six, another Talisman ignited with a dazzling cyan flame. Runes flowed across its surface, emitting an incredibly dense aura of nature!

"Tier Five Giant Wood Talisman!"

Although the individual power of a Giant Wood Talisman wasn’t as overwhelmingly dominant as a Meteor Talisman, its strength lay in its greater numbers, wider coverage, and denser attacks—perfect for dealing with clustered enemies!

WHIRRR—WHIRRR—WHIRRR—

Massive wooden pillars, each over a hundred feet long and glowing with a cyan light, rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour, accompanied by a sharp, air-rending whistle. They were so densely packed there was nowhere to hide!

The Blood Shadow Sect members who had just charged out were instantly screaming in terror, scared out of their wits. They scurried about in a panic but could find no place to take cover.

Under this dense rain of wood, they were like ants being smashed by a giant hammer, falling in droves.

The sound of shattering bones intertwined with screams, creating a bloodcurdling cacophony.

Just as the giant logs fell madly, creating endless chaos...

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Three figures suddenly accelerated, streaking through the dust like beams of light. Their target was clear as they shot in unison toward the withered old man who had just shattered the meteorites!

It was the team’s leader, Li Mubai, and the other two Demon Suppression Captains with the highest Cultivation!

The three of them joined forces, intending to take out the leader first!

Among them, only Li Mubai had ever seen the Blood Shadow Sect Leader from a distance.

But now, there was no need for identification. The tyrannical, fierce, and suffocating aura of Blood Evil Qi emanating from the withered old man—an aura like a mountain of corpses in a sea of blood—already revealed his identity: the Blood Shadow Sect Leader, Zhang Lie!

Kill!

The real battle had finally, truly begun!

The other four experts from the Demon Suppression Bureau, including Chu Fan, were like tigers pouncing on a flock of sheep, beginning a merciless slaughter of the surviving Blood Shadow Sect members to clean up the remnants!

Chu Fan turned his head slightly, his gaze locking precisely onto the Blood Shadow Sect Leader, whose withered body looked like a skeleton that had just crawled out of a grave. A flicker of understanding crossed his eyes as a plan began to form in his mind.

The Spirit Array Map of the Demon Dragon Celestial Spirit Scripture had already silently activated within his body!

In an instant, his Perception Power magnified by more than tenfold, and everything on the entire battlefield became incredibly clear.

The flow of energy, the strength of his enemies’ auras, the predicted trajectories of attacks... all of it fell within the scope of his perception, revealed in minute detail!

When his gaze fell upon the Blood Shadow Sect Leader again, his pupils suddenly shrank. He was inwardly astonished. ’So strong!’

He had learned from Li Mubai’s intelligence that this man had recently been in seclusion, attempting to break through to the fourth Realm—the Bright Heart Realm!

And now, under his extraordinary perception, although the Blood Shadow Sect Leader’s aura was still at the peak of the Acupoint Realm, its density and sheer scale steadily suppressed that of Li Mubai, who was also at the peak of the Acupoint Realm!

The feeling was like a volcano on the verge of erupting. The energy accumulated within had reached its absolute peak, needing only the final catalyst to shatter his shackles, break through the Realm, and step into a whole new world!

Though his thoughts were racing, Chu Fan’s actions didn’t pause for even a moment.

The Demon Blade in his hand, "Black Abyss"—forged in the Celestial Workshop at the cost of one hundred thousand taels of silver—seemed to sense its master’s battle intent and let out a low Dragon’s Roar.

The blade flashed, transforming into a streak of black light that shot forward with the speed of a venomous dragon striking from its lair, aiming straight for the heart of an enemy before him!
