The rocks were forcefully shattered, revealing a substantial amount of Ancient Rock Resin.
Lu Changsheng immediately took the prepared package and began to fill it with Ancient Rock Resin.
"Who dares to intrude into our territory?"
"And still trying to steal our Bloodthirst Sect’s Ancient Rock Resin? You’re asking for death!"
While Lu Changsheng was extracting Ancient Rock Resin, a group of people wielding torches swiftly rushed towards him, encircling him completely.
Judging from their attire, they were unmistakably members of the Bloodthirst Sect.
"Put the Ancient Rock Resin down, and we might spare your life!"
One of the martial artists shouted at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow and said, "Since when did the resources of this mountain belong to your Bloodthirst Sect?"
"Don’t waste your words. The Ancient Rock Resin in this forest belongs to our Bloodthirst Sect. Taking it without permission is theft!"
"If you put down the Ancient Rock Resin, return to Bloodthirst Sect to face punishment, you might still live. If you resist, your fate is sealed!"
The disciples of Bloodthirst Sect glared at Lu Changsheng, each radiating a fierce aura.
"Are you forcing me to kill you?"
Lu Changsheng’s expression turned cold.
"Stubborn fool, capture him!"
Immediately, these Bloodthirst Sect disciples rushed ferociously toward Lu Changsheng.
There were more than a dozen disciples here, all of them at the Blood-Strengthening Realm. Even the elder leading them was an organ-refining martial artist.
In their rush, even the organ-refining martial artist appeared quite disheveled.
In truth, Lu Changsheng didn’t want to kill anyone.
However, when traversing the martial world, some things were unavoidable.
He only wanted the Ancient Rock Resin, but Bloodthirst Sect had arrogantly taken control of the entire forest, refusing to let him take even a small amount of Ancient Rock Resin.
They even resorted to violence.
Lu Changsheng’s internal energy and blood surged.
He was already a Divine Power Realm martial artist, and his internal energy and blood were even more astounding after his second marrow exchange.
Strands of internal energy and blood transformed into the Silk Organ Sword, resembling raindrops, shot in all directions from Lu Changsheng’s center.
How sharp was the Silk Organ Sword?
A fleeting burst of crimson light, and even the more than a dozen Bloodthirst Sect disciples couldn’t comprehend what had just happened. Their bodies were already pierced by numerous Silk Organ Swords and they fell to the ground, lifeless.
Only one organ-refining martial artist remained, displaying an expression of profound shock.
The next moment, Lu Changsheng drew his sword, and in a flash of white light, this organ-refining martial artist didn’t even have time to react before his throat was pierced.
With a "thud," the organ-refining martial artist fell to the ground, becoming a lifeless corpse.
Lu Changsheng sheathed his sword.
He glanced at the package on the ground, which was nearly filled with Ancient Rock Resin.
The commotion he caused had attracted attention from below, even resulting in shouts.
Since he had obtained the Ancient Rock Resin, Lu Changsheng had no intention of stirring up more trouble.
Lu Changsheng directly picked up the package and quickly disappeared from sight with a few swift movements.
Soon, more people arrived from below, all of them being Bloodthirst Sect martial artists.
When they reached the mountain, they found a multitude of Bloodthirst Sect corpses.
"Damn it! Who dared to kill our Bloodthirst Sect members?"
"Search for the culprit!"
Immediately, dozens of disciples scattered to search.
One organ-refining martial artist, with a grave expression, crouched down and carefully examined the bodies.
The more they examined, the more they became alarmed.
"These disciples were killed by internal energy and blood, and it pierced through their bodies in an instant. It’s evident that their internal energy and blood were exceptionally powerful!"
"Although the elder wasn’t killed by internal energy and blood, he was slain with a single sword strike by the opponent."
"Such injuries, such swordsmanship, it’s so similar..."
Several knowledgeable individuals clearly saw the characteristics of these injuries.
"Injuries like these can only be inflicted by Zhuang Thirteen."
"Zhuang Thirteen, the righteous warrior on the official notice board, single-handedly defeated the Desert Thirteen Riders and even massacred hundreds of fierce bandits in the mountain stronghold. His strength is truly astonishing."
"If it’s really Zhuang Thirteen, this could be troublesome. Let’s go back and report to the Sect Master. Only the Sect Master can decide on this matter!"
These Bloodthirst Sect martial artists were also aware of "Zhuang Thirteen."
It was evident that the local authorities were deliberately publicizing the existence of such a powerful warrior in Nanyang Prefecture.
Almost all the martial factions within Nanyang Prefecture knew of "Zhuang Thirteen."
Soon, the Bloodthirst Sect members returned to their sect.
At this moment, within the council chamber of Bloodthirst Sect, several organ-refining martial artists solemnly reported to a middle-aged man, "Sect Master, the individual who killed our Bloodthirst Sect members, is very likely the recently famous ’Zhuang Thirteen’ in Nanyang Prefecture."
Bloodthirst Sect’s Sect Master Yan Jiansheng lazily sat in his chair.
Bloodthirst Sect had collected some information about Zhuang Thirteen, despite the short period of time. Among the information was a crucial detail - Zhuang Thirteen was not a Divine Power Realm martial artist.
This fact was confirmed!
However, despite not being in the Divine Power Realm, Zhuang Thirteen’s strength far exceeded that of organ-refining martial artists.
Yan Jiansheng slowly spoke, "Speaking of this Zhuang Thirteen, I have some history with him."
"I had only recently achieved the Divine Power Realm and was staying low, just to ensure the smooth excavation of Ancient Rock Resin."
"Later, the Desert Thirteen Riders blocked the trade routes, causing quite a stir. I was planning to make a move, but unexpectedly, Zhuang Thirteen took the initiative. He eliminated the Desert Thirteen Riders, pacified the bandit threat, and gained quite a reputation in Nanyang Prefecture. People are praising him now." The source of this content ɪs novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
