"I originally didn't want to kill, but you brought this upon yourselves."

Wang Ruoxie coldly looked at Zhou He and slowly uttered in an icy tone.

Although the Infinite Jade Disc was indeed destroyed because of him, it didn't mean he would use his and Xueyao's lives as compensation.

If Zhou He had negotiated properly, he might have even offered an Ancient Pill Formula worth far more than the Infinite Jade Disc as compensation. However, the other party was aggressive and even sought to implicate Xueyao.

In that case, he saw no need to hold back any longer.

"Ignorant fool, death is at your doorstep, yet you dare to be so arrogant."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Zhou He's expression turned icy as he responded coldly.

The other dozen or so Zhou Family experts also showed mockery on their faces. Dealing with a mere First Layer Meridian Passage Realm guy was as easy as a flick of a finger, without any effort.

As for Xueyao, with her Ninth Layer Innate Realm cultivation, they didn't regard her at all.

"The ones facing death are probably you."

Wang Ruoxie slowly uttered coldly.

As his words dropped, an unimaginably terrifying aura surged from his body, accompanied by a light shout from his mouth: "Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique, release!"

The Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique was a unique Secret Technique obtained in his past life after transforming into a Blood Demon from the Blood God Essence Blood. It could be said that even Saint Tier Divine Secret Techniques couldn't compare to it.

Once activated, the Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique immediately merges the power of one's Bloodline into the True Essence, unleashing tenfold or even a hundredfold might.

The cost of this is that the Bloodline Tier will directly decrease by a small tier.

For example, if a Bloodline was Earth Level, Ninth Grade, after using the Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique, it would drop to Earth Level, Eighth Grade.

Every time the Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique is used, the Bloodline Tier almost always decreases by a small tier. This cost is extremely hefty; most people would only opt to use this technique when facing life-and-death situations.

But Wang Ruoxie is different. He controls the Blood God Essence Blood and can devour others' Blood Souls, absorbing the contained Bloodline Power, continuously upgrading his Bloodline Tier.

Thus, even if a small tier is decreased, he can recover shortly.

Moreover, his current Bloodline is Celestial Level, First Grade, and the Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique doesn't lower the big tier of Bloodlines. Therefore, even using it won't drop his Bloodline to the Earth Level.

This is one of the reasons he dares to use the Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique directly. Even though its effect depletes his cultivation temporarily, the Bloodline Tier remains intact, allowing him to recover his cultivation power quickly.

"What... what is happening?"

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Ruoxie, Zhou He couldn't help but have his facial expression change drastically.

The other dozen Zhou Family experts also gazed at Wang Ruoxie incredulously. They sensed that the aura exuding from him seemed to surpass theirs.

"Thunder Shock Technique."

At this moment, with a light shout, Wang Ruoxie's figure seemed to transform into a thunderbolt, reaching an extreme speed.

The sword light was dazzling, and the sword's whistle was like thunder, ringing in Zhou He and the others' ears.

"Ssh..."

The brilliant sword light flashed before a Zhou Family expert, raising a blood arrow.

That First Layer Meridian Passage Realm Zhou Family expert was instantly slain; Wang Ruoxie's speed was overwhelming, so fast that he had been pierced through the heart before he could even react.

"Kill!"

Next, Wang Ruoxie stepped on the Cloud Soaring Step, applying the fourth form of the Shocking God Sword Technique, Thunder Shock Technique, swiftly slaughtering the other Zhou Family experts.

Thunder Shock Technique, where the sword is like thunder, the speed far exceeding the Cloud Emergence Technique, and the might incomparable to the Destruction Technique and Thunderous Wave Technique.

Although Thunder Shock Technique is only the fourth form of the Shocking God Sword Technique, its might far exceeds the previous three forms, rivaling the average Celestial Tier Lower Grade Martial Techniques, or even surpassing them.

At this moment, those Zhou Family experts seemed to forget to retaliate. With each flash of sword light, a splash of blood followed.

Every sword strike by Wang Ruoxie could slay a Zhou Family expert, truly one man, one sword, one step killing one person.

Watching this scene, Zhou He's entire body froze in place, his mind trembling ceaselessly. These were all formidable experts of the Zhou Family's Meridian Passage Realm, with each one considered among the top in their respective tiers.

Yet now, they were like weeds, completely slaughtered by Wang Ruoxie without any resistance.

Even Xueyao was completely shaken by this spectacle.

While she imagined that Wang Ruoxie, upon breaking through to the Meridian Passage Realm, would become unimaginably powerful, she never expected him to be this terrifying, even frightening.

A dozen Zhou Family experts in the Early Stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, including some in the Second Layer and Third Layer, seemed so fragile before Wang Ruoxie, utterly helpless.

Since when did the experts of the Meridian Passage Realm become so weak?

Of course, Xueyao also knew very well that it wasn't that Zhou Family's Meridian Passage experts were truly weak but that Wang Ruoxie's power was just too strong.

In merely a few breaths, all those Zhou Family experts lay lifelessly on the ground.

"No... this can't be, this absolutely can't be."

With his gaze fixed on the ground's dozen bodies, Zhou He's body trembled slightly, his face full of shock.

He never imagined it would end like this, nor could he accept it.

"Now, do you still wish to kill me?"

Wang Ruoxie looked at Zhou He indifferently and slowly spoke.

He didn't just kill Zhou He right away; he wanted to leave him for last, making him taste the bitterness of being cornered.

When Zhou He first appeared, he was so arrogant, directly killing nearly a thousand people. Had Wang not voluntarily stepped forward, the other side would have continued slaughtering thousands more.

After that, Zhou He not only wanted to kill him but also intended to turn Xueyao into a Tripod Furnace, as if everything was under his control, and everyone was at his mercy without resistance.

Now, he wanted Zhou He to understand what it felt like to have one's life in the hands of others.

"Escape!"

As he heard Wang Ruoxie's words, Zhou He snapped out of his shock, then swiftly retreated.

At that moment, the sole thought in his mind was to escape as far as possible.

Even with his Fifth Layer Meridian Passage Realm cultivation, being a Middle Stage Meridian Passage expert, he still didn't dare to continue fighting Wang Ruoxie with only First Layer Meridian Passage Realm cultivation.

He felt a deadly threat from Wang Ruoxie; if that sword had landed on him, he would undoubtedly be dead.

"Trying to flee? Don't you think it's too late?"

Wang Ruoxie, with a mocking gaze, looked at Zhou He, then his figure shuddered, transforming into numerous phantoms, pouncing towards him.

The thunderous sword whistle, like the sound of death, reached Zhou He's ears, filling his face with terror.
