Despite saying that Li Fan was not human, Chen Kui had already sat down cross-legged.

Just like the attempt three years ago, he manipulated his true energy to cover his left palm.

The vital energy, flowing through the damaged meridians, brought on a pain as if scraping bone and tearing flesh.

Chen Kui didn't care and pushed his true energy towards his palm bone.

While he was circulating his true energy, Li Fan had already activated Blood Drinking.

He first extracted a few strands of unclaimed blood and qi, and then infused them into Chen Kui's left hand bone.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the true qi circulates for ten stops.

With each circulation, a large amount of true energy will dissipate.

The remaining portion continues to circulate.

Only a negligible small portion is absorbed by the metacarpal bones.

Without drinking blood, Li Fan would never have been able to sense the vanished power.

In addition, Li Fan also realized that the flow and absorption of true energy did not happen all the time.

This change is concentrated about an inch below the middle finger.

To verify this hypothesis, when his true energy circulated to this point again, Li Fan increased the input of his blood and qi.

A soft "hiss!" sound.

Chen Kui's left middle finger was torn apart.

The white finger bones were exposed to the air.

Li Fan concentrated intently, sensing the direction in which the power of qi and blood was dissipating.

In Li Fan's perception, mysterious lines had appeared on his palm bones.

The lines are densely interwoven, like chains.

The overflowing energy was absorbed by one of the lines.

"You can stop now!"

"You understand now?"

"Um!"

Seeing Li Fan nod, Chen Kui's gaze turned strange.

Compared to him, I seem to be just an ordinary person.

In three years, I've refined a spine, and even then, I haven't figured out the method. Even if I wanted to replicate it, I could only rely on painstaking effort.

As a result, he understood in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea in front of Li Fan.

This is fucking...unjust!

Is there anything you want to know?

While I still have some time, I'll help in whatever way I can.

Where is your fatal wound?

If the injured area is refined using this method, could the injury be temporarily suppressed?

"It's no use. Even if I can suppress the injuries, my internal energy and blood are not enough to sustain it!"

Chen Kui shook his head with a wry smile.

Killing Lan Tian and the others seemed easy.

But that's not actually the case, especially considering the injuries left by that person from the Ziyang Immortal Sect.

Without suppression, one will find a way to survive.

"I possess the power of Qi and blood!"

"Forget it, you can use it for your breakthrough. Don't waste it on me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just try it!"

At Li Fan's insistence, Chen Kui sat down cross-legged again.

There were three fatal wounds.

His brow and spirit platform were pierced by a short sword.

The small sword was covered with countless runes.

A dark palm print covered the heart.

A purplish-black poisonous cloud filled his dantian.

"It's a miracle you've lasted this long!"

"Isn't that obvious? You survived being beaten to a pulp, so how could I, the fifth-ranked person on the previous Heavenly Hero Ranking, not hold up?"

Fifth place on the Heavenly Hero Ranking was Chen Kui's last source of pride.

Even if you're incredibly talented, you can't just jump onto the Heavenly Hero Ranking all at once!

"You're stronger than me, so you'll get stabbed more times than me when you die!"

"Of course..."

"ah!"

The sudden, sharp pain caused Chen Kui, caught off guard, to let out a scream.

Li Fan had already chosen his target while he was talking to him.

heart!

Handprint.

Li Fan's approach is quite wild.

He directly ripped open Chen Kui's chest, condensed his qi and blood into a blade, and then swiftly cut open Chen Kui's heart.

The residual energy on the pitch-black palm print immediately erupted.

But before these energies could detonate, Li Fan tore out pieces of the shattered heart.

Blood Spring!

After doing all this, Chen Kui immediately activated his supernatural powers.

The surge of blood and qi connects the fragments of the heart, which are less than one percent intact.

"Circulate your inner energy to refine your heart; leave the rest to me!"

"You... kid, you're really not a person... at least you could have given me a heads-up!"

Chen Kui grimaced in pain.

However, his movements were exceptionally swift.

The vital energy circulated and surged towards the damaged heart.

......

"He... he's really not dead!"
