Starting with a Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

On the day of his spiritual root test, he was found to possess a fifth-grade root. In this lifetime, it would be nearly impossible to break through the Mid Qi Refining stage.

The immortal sec...

Chapter 315 Wang Yu Saves the Day, Killing Intent Resonates! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!!!)

It was Lu Chenzhou!

The Evil God Pavilion already had a large number of cultivators, and any disciple with a brain knew not to casually watch the spectacle. Now look what happened, they've all died in their fantasies.

However, Lu Chenzhou's actions also attracted a lot of attention. Although sects have rules against killing each other, very few actually abide by them.

Even using "as rare as a phoenix feather" to describe it is an overstatement.

According to another set of unspoken rules, as long as you don't kill someone openly in public, almost no one will bother you.

To do this right in front of the Enforcement Hall is blatant disregard for sect rules! It's a provocation! A naked provocation!

In the blink of an eye, thunderous drums roared.

Zhuo Shouqing nimbly put on his clothes, stood on the top-grade magic artifact Thunder Drum with a gloomy face, and felt a sense of foreboding.

This is happening right in front of him, should he do something or not?

If he were to interfere, Lu Chenzhou would definitely cripple him. At that point, forget about devouring Zhuo Shouyun; he'd be 99% unlikely to survive long, and his long-cherished, patient tortoise-like plan would completely fail.

If left unchecked, the sect's rules will be rendered meaningless...

Hmm... then let's just leave it as a formality.

In the blink of an eye, he made his decision, retreating into the Hall of Enforcement while simultaneously flinging a token into the hall.

The third-tier formation he personally funded and set up here is rapidly activating.

Seeing this, Lu Chenzhou couldn't help but mock.

"Zhuo Shouqing, are you really such a spineless piece of trash? You were so arrogant with those women these past few days, how come... you don't dare to interfere in my affairs? You're a disgrace!"

Zhuo Shouqing paused, then bowed to Lu Chenzhou with a smile and said, "Brother Lu is exceptionally talented, and even his personality is domineering beyond compare. I, Zhuo, am naturally no match for him."

At this point, Zhuo Shouqing's tone shifted.

"However... I heard that Brother Lu's pockets are cleaner than a woman's face, so he probably can't afford to pay the fine for these people. I, Zhuo, will be a kind-hearted person and pay it for you."

The system of paying "sin money" has a long history. It means that, apart from treason, any crime can be atoned by paying spirit stones. The original intention of this rule was to set up for those disciples of the powerful and wealthy.

Especially those spoiled brats, their needs in this area are huge, and it's impossible for them to always rely on their powerful backers to clean up their messes.

As for whether it will lead to the mass death of lower-level disciples.

Actually, no.

These high-ranking nobles are deeply aware of the importance of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, as it is their shared property, belonging to the ruling class who hold a high position.

They are better at upholding rules and order than those below them.

Legend has it that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect was originally established by an alliance of ten Nascent Soul Demons, which can be seen as the original ten lineage families.

The system of fines for crimes not only benefited the powerful and wealthy, but also provided a unique upward trajectory for those with exceptional talent.

That means killing the sons of the powerful and wealthy!

As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." There are countless instances of spoiled brats bullying ordinary disciples only to be killed in retaliation. In such cases, paying some "sin money" can still absolve them of their crimes.

The original master-disciple faction of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect originated from this.

As it has evolved to this day, even more detailed methods have emerged, such as making it impossible to move Nascent Soul disciples or clan geniuses.

The former will be sought revenge by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the other party will have to pay a fine in return.

The latter is even more so.

This system gradually turned into a kind of "better to avoid" military deterrence, otherwise you kill me, I kill you, and the hatred will never end.

It was actually used more by ordinary disciples.

Zhuo Shouqing's words at this moment were not only a sign of contempt for Lu Chenzhou regarding controllable resources, but also a deliberate act that caused him to violate a certain tacit understanding maintained among the powerful.

Actually, he was also worried about being killed by Lu Chenzhou.

I said that on purpose just to make him think it over and take it easy.

The formation was activated swiftly, but Lu Chenzhou appeared to be enraged. Whether he was faking it or not, he spoke angrily.

"Zhuo Shouqing, how dare you humiliate me like this?!"

"This is outrageous! Aaaaaah!"

Zhuo Shouqing was completely dumbfounded. This just exploded? Your emotions are even more unstable than the Fairy of Taihu Lake.

"Boom—"

A loud explosion signaled the start of the battle, and the disciples who had been stationed nearby fled in droves, while the smarter ones darted into nearby shops.

They can use the restrictions set up by the shops to resist the aftermath, and incidentally, continue to watch the show.

A blood-red fist swept across the sky.

Lu Chenzhou continued to smash the array light barrier of the Law Enforcement Hall, seemingly completely controlled by his violent killing intent, punching again and again. This commotion was noticed by the Ten Reverse Blood Workshops.

On nearby Five Yin Peak, Cold Blood Peak, and Evil God Peak, Core Formation cultivators emerged, intending to hurl a few insults at them for disturbing their cultivation.

But after realizing that the troublemaker was Lu Chenzhou, they all shut up and went back to where they came from, leaving only their spiritual senses to continue observing the situation.

He was brutally beaten by that bloody fist.

After a dozen or so breaths, the movements gradually slowed down until they disappeared.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the array of the Enforcement Hall remained intact. Zhuo Shouqing stood on the eaves of the gate, his face calm and composed.

The Evil God's Enforcement Hall served as his regular base.

It took a lot of effort to set it up, and even Lu Chenzhou, who was at the peak of the Core Formation stage, couldn't break through it in a short time.

But after discovering that the peaks that appeared and disappeared had formed their cores.

A vague sense of foreboding arose in his heart, especially since Lu Chenzhou, despite appearing to have lost his mind and been captured by murderous intent, was able to stop his meaningless attacks.

It's so fake it couldn't be more fake!

Then he recalled his previous conversation with Wang Yu, and his analysis of the intelligence chief Zhuo Yuanshen... If this person really had a problem, he would have leaked the information about his formation long ago.

The advantage is that it can verify whether Zhuo Yuanshen has any problems.

He soon found out the downsides.

"Buzz~"

A strange sound rang out, and Lu Chenzhou transformed into a streak of blood-red light, instantly splitting into five points, all probing towards the array barrier at the same time.

—The Art of Breaking the Formation!

It's a special technique to break his [Five Elements Sage Formation]!!

"Damn you, Zhuo Yuanshen!!!"

Zhuo Shouqing cursed and took out a teleportation talisman to try to escape, but in less than half a breath, the array barrier shattered and countless blood-red lights turned into threads and wrapped around him.

A wave of despair washed over him.

"My life is over!"

"--stop!"

Not far away in the sky, a dazzling aurora swooped down with incredible speed; the one approaching was none other than Wang Yu.

His voice was filled with rage, and his speed was unleashed with all his might without reservation, leaving him no choice but to be anxious.

Who knew I'd see this as soon as I arrived?!

Because of the absolute nature of the Styx Contract, he had an obligation to save Zhuo Shouqing's life. If he hadn't seen it, it would have been fine, but he did.

He could accept being killed by the enemy, but he would never accept dying as a result of some bullshit contract.

At the critical moment, Wang Yu suddenly landed in front of Zhuo Shouqing, grabbed his arm, and escaped through the gaps in the bloody veins.

Zhuo Shouqing was overjoyed, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon.

"Wang Yu, what brings you here?"

Wang Yu raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said in a serious voice, "Have they become desperate?"

"I don't know, that person is Lu Chenzhou."

"I know."

Wang Yu's heart sank. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly said, "You should leave now. I'll save your life this time, and our contractual relationship will end."

"ah???"

Zhuo Shouqing was surprised that Wang Yu, who had a serious expression, would suddenly say this, according to the original contract terms.

Wang Yu signed a contract that promised to save the three of them's lives after they reached the Core Formation stage, and now, haven't they been saved?

He immediately disregarded the critical situation.

"You can't leave, you..."

Wang Yu raised his hand.

"Don't worry, with such a deep involvement, even if Wang wanted to back out, he couldn't. Besides, there are still your two other brothers' lives to save!"

"Quickly use the escape talisman to run away, I can't beat Lu Chenzhou."

Zhuo Shouqing's heart sank, knowing that now was not the time to talk, and his hatred for Lu Chenzhou deepened.

"I understand. After this matter is resolved, I will personally visit to discuss cooperation."

Having said that, the Void Escape Talisman was activated again.

How could Lu Chenzhou be willing to let him go!

Not being truly insane, he decisively used the Blood Dao Secret Technique, rapidly merging the blood-red hues that filled the sky, transforming them into numerous Blood Dao Runes that were then embedded directly into the void.

Zhuo Shouqing's expression changed. Even though the escape talisman in his hand burned to ashes, it still couldn't take him away. After discovering the blood rune, he quickly said.

"This is the Blood Talisman Locking the Void Technique, specifically developed to counter techniques like the Void Escape Talisman."

"I see."

Wang Yu's voice deepened, "The fifth level of Core Formation is a realm that absolutely cannot be revealed."

After all, he had only been at the Core Formation stage for a little over six years, and his cultivation had increased so rapidly. Anyone with a brain would know there was something wrong with that. He certainly didn't want to be targeted because of something like that.

Therefore, one can only rely on a powerful physical body and an exceptionally strong spiritual sense.

After setting up the Blood Talisman to lock the sky, Lu Chenzhou attacked again.

Wang Yu flung Zhuo Shouqing away, his blood and qi surging like a dragon. He stomped his foot on the ground, and in an instant, the ground within a kilometer radius visibly sank.

The dense, spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly.

An air explosion.

"hold head high!!!"

With a roar, the Yinming Demon Dragon and Wang Yu charged out together, colliding with the enormous blood fist. After the loud crash, the Law Enforcement Hall building collapsed, turning into fragments that scattered in all directions.

Lu Chenzhou was shocked. The Ancient Blood Demon Technique also had unique features in strengthening the body, and it was no less than that of a pure body cultivator.

This punch was surprisingly evenly matched!

It is evident that Wang Yu's physique was not much inferior to his.

This is actually quite normal. When Wang Yu was stuck at the peak of the second tier, he was constantly strengthening his body's foundation. After breaking through to the third tier, he even received the baptism of the dragon vein.

His potential has increased significantly, and given that he has always followed the path of a pure body cultivator, even condensing his divine essence, it is not impossible for him to surpass Lu Chenzhou by a small realm.

Blood Path Techniques excel in their unpredictable and bizarre supernatural powers and their tenacious vitality!

In a pure contest of physical strength, Wang Yu would be able to crush this fiend if they were at the same cultivation level.

Who isn't a genius with a silver tongue!

After exchanging blows, the Demonic Dragon Armor covered his entire body, and an even more terrifying killing intent than Lu Chenzhou erupted completely, with the Asura half-body condensing behind him.

Little Asura's Killing Fist!

You're crazy? I'm crazier than you!

—Boom boom boom boom!

Using his physical strength to aid his Core Formation power, coupled with the might of a Asura's killing intent, Wang Yu unleashed punch after punch, which surprisingly resonated with Lu Chenzhou's killing intent.

This caused what was initially a feigned madness to genuinely overwhelm Lu Chenzhou, with a constant stream of madness settling in his heart.
