The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2555 - 2544: Blood Demon Art

Inside the grand hall of the Blood Origin Sect.

An eerie atmosphere continuously spread through the air, the entire hall was filled with a stench of blood.

In the hall were three pallid elders and a pale middle-aged man.

Among them was an elder at the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, he was Du Zishi’s direct ancestor, Du Wan He.

The other two elders at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm were the remaining two ancestors of the Blood Origin Sect: He Xingnian and Song Jiancheng.

As for the last middle-aged man, he was now the Sect Master of the Blood Origin Sect, and also Du Zishi’s father, Du Liquan, with an aura at the Extreme Peak level.

Aside from these four, there were two motionless old men standing, both at the Extreme Peak level, with their acupoints apparently sealed.

These two old men at the Extreme Peak level had faces filled with boundless rage, their eyes fixed fiercely on Du Wan He and the others.

"Du Wan He, none of you will die a good death; your Blood Origin Sect cultivates such techniques, you’ll be purged sooner or later."

"Indeed, it’s best your Blood Origin Sect turn back from the brink; there’s no place for your sect in the Divine Origin Realm."

The two old men at the Extreme Peak level roared with glaring eyes.

Suddenly.

A look of pain crossed Du Wan He’s face, as the flesh on his palms started corroding at a visibly rapid pace. In mere blinks of an eye, the flesh completely vanished, and his palms became stark White Bone.

"Return from the brink? But there’s no brink to return to; how should we turn back?"

Du Wan He exuded a rolling blood aura, a Spiritual Energy as red as fresh blood surged out from his body.

His shoulder jerked violently, and he bellowed a low command from his throat: "Blood Demon Devouring Heaven!"

The blood-like Spiritual Energy emitted from Du Wan He’s body abruptly transformed into strands of red blood cords, madly rushing toward the two old men at the Extreme Peak level, encircling them completely in just a breath.

The blood cords swiftly permeated their bodies, while the other ends remained attached to Du Wan He.

"Ah——"

The two old men at the Extreme Peak level let out agonized, heart-tearing screams from their throats.

The blood within their bodies was frantically extracted by the blood cords, flowing continuously through these cords toward Du Wan He.

As he constantly absorbed the fresh blood.

The White Bone of Du Wan He’s palms rapidly regained flesh, until those two old men at the Extreme Peak level turned into dry corpses, his arms completely restored, and his aura faintly elevated.

Du Wan He exhaled a breath, retracted his aura, and the blood cords returned to his body.

Du Liquan said respectfully, "Ancestor, once Zishi’s matter is settled, we can seize control of the entire Jia family, using all of them to absorb. You might ascend further, and then we proceed to the Middle Realm, and after your elevation to the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, we move to the Upper World, eventually securing a place for the Blood Origin Sect within the Divine Origin Realm."

He Xingnian and Song Jiancheng nodded in agreement.

The original cultivation technique of the Blood Origin Sect wasn’t this evil, just inclined toward darkness.

Yet years ago.

A massive disturbance shook the back mountain of the Blood Origin Sect, revealing an underground entrance.

Du Wan He and the others sealed the area, venturing into the entrance only to discover the cultivation technique they practiced was incomplete; the true complete cultivation technique, the Blood Demon Art, was recorded within the underground passage.

Since mastering the complete Blood Demon Art, Du Wan He and others embarked on a one-way road; periodically requiring the absorption of living blood, failing which they would transform, starting from the hand, into a stark skeleton.

In other words, once cultivating the complete Blood Demon Art, there’s no turning back, only a path toward darkness.

The alliance between the Blood Origin Sect and the Jia family was naturally manipulative, as the sect was not strong enough yet, their secret could not be revealed! Or else it might immediately draw attention from the Middle Realm or the Upper World; they could only clandestinely bolster their strength.

"Even if I absorb every cultivator’s blood from the Jia family, I am still a distance from the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm," Du Wan He said.

After all, crossing each level within the Divine Emperor Realm is exceedingly arduous.

The advantage of the Blood Demon Art is its ability to rapidly boost strength through absorbing living blood.

He Xingnian said, "One Jia family isn’t enough; there are many forces in the Lower Realm. Eventually, they’ll help you reach the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm."

Du Wan He nodded: "Zishi should be nearly done at the Jia family; too bad the Jia family doesn’t know they’re becoming a stepping stone for our Blood Origin Sect to reach the peak. For them, it’s a mark of glory."

Just then.

A disciple of the Inner Sect hurriedly entered, quickly bowing to Du Wan He and others: "Ancestor, Sect Master, bad news, just now the Lifebound Token of the Young Sect Master and the Great Elder shattered."

Upon hearing this.

Du Wan He and Du Liquan’s expressions stiffened slightly; in the Blood Origin Sect, few practice the complete Blood Demon Art, aside from the four of them, only Du Zishi, Great Elder Zhong Zhende, and a few other Inner Sect Elders cultivated it.

Hearing the Lifebound Tokens of Du Zishi and Zhong Zhende shattered.

Du Wan He and Du Liquan’s fury erupted from within their bodies; could it be the Jia family discovered their plot? Thus killed Du Zishi and Zhong Zhende?

Logically, the Jia family shouldn’t have noticed the altered Emperor’s Fruit.

Blood aura surged in Du Wan He’s eyes, and he clenched his hand toward the empty space where the Inner Sect disciple stood.

"Bang!" Sounded.

The disciple’s body instantly exploded into countless blood mists.

Du Liquan furrowed his brows: "Ancestor, Zishi and the Great Elder cannot die without a reason. They both had restrictions set in their minds; no one could probe our secret. At most, the Jia family found something wrong with the Emperor’s Fruit; just one Emperor’s Fruit, they killed Zishi and the Great Elder? We now have reason to strike against the Jia family."

Du Wan He said: "Without knowing the truth, we can’t conclude yet. We should first visit the back mountain, then proceed to the Jia family."
