The hundreds of Blood Spirit Race who didn't regard Wang Ruoxie and others initially were now easily slaughtered by him.

Before their death, they were filled with overwhelming regret. If they had known how terrifying his power would be after the breakthrough, they would never have given him the chance.

However, no matter how much they regretted, the outcome was unchangeable; they were destined to die.

At a speed that seemed to create hundreds of clones, Wang Ruoxie cut down hundreds of Blood Spirit Race almost simultaneously.

Yet, to his surprise, the woman in purple from the Blood Spirit Race, although her heart vein was pierced by him, did not die.

Though gravely injured, the woman in purple transformed into a blood shadow and vanished without a trace.

"It seems this woman in purple holds a significant status in the Blood Spirit Race, likely carrying life-saving treasures."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself. With his sword's might, even a Late Stage Acupoint Condensation Realm of the Blood Spirit Race would surely perish if their heart vein were pierced.

Yet the woman in purple survived, proving she possessed a formidable life-saving treasure.

Although a purple-clad woman escaped, it was still a great victory for Wang Ruoxie.

Slaying hundreds of Blood Spirit Race not only earned him a lot of merit but also allowed him to open a new acupoint after devouring a lot of their essence blood.

Although the increase was just from forty to forty-one acupoints, this additional one pushed his cultivation from the Peak of the First Layer to the Second Layer of Acupoint Condensation Realm.

In this breakthrough, his power was greatly enhanced: his internal mana quantity increased several times over and became purer and thicker, nearly matching the essence of a Late Stage Acupoint Condensation Realm.

This meant, with his current strength, he could likely contend with a Martial Cultivator of the Late Stage Acupoint Condensation Realm.

However, he knew that in the Outer Battlefield, whether Human Race or Blood Spirit Race, the Acupoint Condensation Realm was but cannon fodder. True power lay in the Purple Mansion Realm and even the higher Pocket World Realm.

As for the Celestial Monarch Realm, it had not yet appeared, but as time went on, it was possible for such power to emerge in both camps.

Therefore, Wang Ruoxie knew that reaching the Acupoint Condensation Realm was just the beginning.

"Boss, you're too strong."

At this moment, Qian Duoduo rushed to Wang Ruoxie, speaking excitedly.

One person killed hundreds of Blood Spirit Race effortlessly, an unfathomable power.

These Blood Spirit Race were considered Evil Demons with many fearsome abilities, their cultivation power much stronger than theirs.

Yet even so, they were no match for Wang Ruoxie, offering no resistance and being wiped out simultaneously.

"Chiliarch, I apologize for what I said before. I'm willing to accept any punishment."

Si Qing respectfully bowed toward Wang Ruoxie and spoke.

"No need for that. Given my previous cultivation, your doubts were reasonable."

Wang Ruoxie smiled; he wouldn't fuss over a few words of dissent with Si Qing.

"Chiliarch, I cannot repay your life-saving grace. From today on, I, Si Qing, will follow you to the death."

Hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, a look of shame flashed in Si Qing's eyes. He then spoke solemnly to Wang Ruoxie.

"We all swear to follow Chiliarch to the death."

The other two hundred-plus Black Dragon Guards echoed without hesitation toward Wang Ruoxie.

"Since you all trust me, I won't let you down. Though I can't guarantee everyone will survive, I promise as long as I live, I won't abandon any of you."

Wang Ruoxie declared, looking at everyone.

"Willing to live and die with Chiliarch."

The crowd replied in unison.

From this moment on, these two hundred-plus Black Dragon Guards were wholly loyal to Wang Ruoxie.

"Let's move on."

Wang Ruoxie nodded with a smile and spoke.

Although his thousand-man unit was now reduced to just over two hundred, it was truly under his control, unlike the previous facade of unity.

As for those who fled, from the moment they left, they were no longer his subordinates; their lives or deaths were of no concern to him.

"Position: Chiliarch, Merit: 1,937 points."

Wang Ruoxie checked his Identity Jade Plate and found his merit had increased by nearly 700 points, a considerable gain.

Of course, compared to the merit, the real bounty was the improvement in his cultivation power.

His cultivation went from the Ninth Layer of Essence Pill Realm to the Second Layer of Acupoint Condensation Realm, and his power also improved drastically.

In essence, unless facing Peak Acupoint Condensation Realm or even half-step Purple Mansion Realm of the Blood Spirit Race, he faced little danger.

Moreover, against truly unbeatable foes, he could use the Soul Boat to ensure his party escapes unscathed.

After moving forward for some time, Wang Ruoxie and his men entered a valley.

"Sir, look, it seems like Zhuge Ming and the others."

Si Qing suddenly pointed out to Wang Ruoxie.

Squinting into the distance, Wang Ruoxie indeed saw a group fleeing frantically, unmistakably Zhuge Ming and those who had previously abandoned them.

He didn't expect them not to flee back to the Ninth City but into a deeper part of the Endless Wilderness.

Moreover, he noticed many figures pursuing Zhuge Ming and his group.

"Help us!"

At this point, Zhuge Ming and the others spotted Wang Ruoxie and immediately shouted joyfully.

They seemed to see Wang Ruoxie's group as their saviors, forgetting they'd abandoned him earlier.

However, Wang Ruoxie stood unmoved, showing no intention to assist.

If judged by Black Dragon Guard military law, he could have them executed for running from battle. Choosing not to act was already generous; helping was out of the question.

"Wang Ruoxie, as a Chiliarch, you can stand by while we are chased? Aren't you afraid I'll report to Lei Xing and Qing He?"

Seeing Wang Ruoxie's indifference, Zhuge Ming's face fell, hastily speaking in a harsh tone.

"Ah..."

At this time, their pursuers caught up, and screams echoed.
