He strode over and reached out to pull out the cork that had been sealed.

Suddenly, a wonderful fragrance filled the air.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a bright green pill.

It is emerald green and translucent, like jade, with a misty aura surrounding it, indicating its extraordinary medicinal effects.

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, his gaze burning.

"The Blood Raven King is right, this is indeed a sacred medicine."

He took a deep breath to calm himself and was about to remove the pill.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the purple jade bottle trembled slightly, emitting a peculiar fluctuation.

"Huh, is there something?"

Jiang Wang was stunned.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the jade bottle.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out, and the previously stable jade bottle suddenly cracked open, revealing a dark cave.

roar!

A deep roar resounded, neither dragon nor tiger, seemingly coming from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine.

The next instant, a dark, beastly shadow leaped out and pounced on Jiang Wang.

This beastly figure was covered in black scales, had ferocious fangs, and exuded a strong smell of blood.

"not good!"

Jiang Wang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated the [Hun Yuan Jin].

Boom boom boom!

Streaks of true energy transformed into giant hammers behind him, slamming violently towards the beast shadow.

Thump!

The beast's shadow and true energy collided, producing a deafening sound, billowing smoke and dust, and rampant energy.

Jiang Wang grunted and was forced to take several steps back.

In contrast, the beast was unharmed, except for bloodstains on its claws.

"How is that possible!"

Jiang Wang's eyes widened in disbelief.

His punch, powerful enough to shatter rocks, failed to break the beast's claws.

What kind of monster is this shadowy creature, and why is it so powerful?

"Hmm? You possess a bloodline?"

At this moment, the beast shadow noticed Jiang Wang's difference, its eyes lit up, and it stopped moving.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Jiang Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.

The beastly figure before him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, as if it came from the deepest hell, making him unable to help but feel fear.

"Human, offer your blood to me, and I will grant you a great destiny."

The beast-like figure stared at Jiang Wang and spoke in a condescending manner.

"Don't even think about it!"

Jiang Wang roared, his face full of vigilance, ready to fight to the death.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences; you're asking for death."

Seeing that Jiang Wang was unwilling to submit, the beast shadow became completely enraged, and a violent aura surged from its body.

It suddenly stomped out, its massive body falling like a mountain, and slashed at Jiang Wang with one claw, intending to tear him apart on the spot.

Such power is enough to make any peak-stage innate martial artist panic.

"not good!"

Sensing the impending death, Jiang Wang's eyelids twitched, and a deep sense of regret welled up in his heart.

Had he known this would happen, he would have preferred to take the risk rather than follow Blood Raven into this forest.

Now, it's all too late!

"I'm not reconciled!"

Jiang Wang roared inwardly, his face filled with resentment and endless regret.

boom!

At the critical moment, a dazzling blade of light stretched across the void, carrying terrifying power, and slashed fiercely at the beast shadow's head.

clang!

A piercing screech exploded, echoing in all directions and whipping up gusts of wind that swept across the surroundings.

Jiang Wang felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if his internal organs had shifted, and he was spitting out puffs of blood mist.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed, his pupils shrank, and he was utterly horrified.

The dark beast-like figure swayed, but only a small wound appeared, without even breaking its flesh.

"What formidable defensive capabilities!"

Jiang Wang was breathing rapidly, his face was deathly pale, and a hint of fear appeared deep in his eyes.

Such a powerful monster was simply impossible to withstand.

"Human, how dare you defy me? You deserve to die!"

The beastly shadow roared, its eyes flashing with cold light, its ferocity overwhelming. It slashed at Jiang Wang with its claw, as if to tear him to shreds.

"You damned beast, even if I die, I won't let you get away with this..."

Feeling threatened with death, Jiang Wang was filled with rage and roared wildly.

"Since you remain obstinate, I will kill you today."

A mocking smile appeared in the beast's eyes, and its claws moved even faster as they descended upon Jiang Wang.

Click!

Just then, another soft sound came, making Jiang Wang's expression change in horror.

"No!"

He wailed pitifully, then his voice abruptly stopped.

Bang!

A burst of blood erupted as the Blood Raven King's head was ripped off.

Fear and regret lingered in his eyes.

If he hadn't coveted the Blood Jade Elixir, he wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation.

"You humans are too weak."

The beast-like figure curled its lip, its tone full of disdain.

Just now, if it hadn't reacted quickly enough, it probably would have been in trouble.

"Although humans are weak, they have multiplied and thrived. One day, I will return to the Heavenly Realm and gain more power."

Suddenly, a hint of longing flashed in the beast's eyes.

It roared to the sky, its thunderous roars echoing for thousands of meters around.

Boom!

A surge of powerful and pure crimson true energy erupted, gathering together like a tide to transform into a mighty river of blood.

"This is?"

Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Wang stood there dumbfounded, his face blank.

"This is the power of bloodline!"

After a long while, he swallowed hard, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This river of blood surged and roared, containing terrifying power that made his heart tremble.

Jiang Wang understood that this was the power of the bloodline within the Blood Raven King, contained within the Blood River.

"If I can absorb the power of bloodline, I will surely be able to break through to the Innate Realm and reach the Innate Grandmaster level!"

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes burned with passion.

He was a body cultivator who craved the power of bloodlines.

Whoosh!

Before he could react, the river of blood had already swept over him.

puff!

A wave of blood splattered, Jiang Wang's body melted away, and the river of blood enveloped and devoured him.

"ah……"

Jiang Wang screamed in agony, his face contorted in despair and pain.

These bloodline powers are like a thousand arrows piercing the heart; every drop of blood contains terrifying corrosive power.

In an instant, his entire body was completely eroded, turning into a pool of blood.

call out!

A flash of silver light appeared, the blood river collapsed, and a crystal-clear pill flew out.

This is the Bloodline Pill of the Blood Raven King.

Jiang Wang's figure blurred, then solidified again, his face extremely gloomy:

"It's not safe to stay here any longer; we need to leave quickly."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes. Not daring to linger, he turned and fled outside.

"Trying to run away? It's not that easy."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

call out!

With a whooshing sound, a sharp sword light ripped through the void, like thunder piercing the sun, and instantly struck Jiang Wang's side.

*Sizzle!*

Jiang Wang reacted a little slowly, and his right arm was severed at the shoulder, bleeding profusely.

Bang!

With a swift movement, Jiang Wang fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

Who are you?

Jiang Wang raised his head, looked at the black-clad youth in the distance, and asked in a deep voice.

The young man in black was tall and slender, with dark eyebrows and sharp, sword-like eyes, giving off an impression of sharp charisma.

"I am the young city lord of Lingwu City."

The young man glanced at Jiang Wang indifferently and said calmly, "Have you heard of the Jiang family?"
