In an instant, endless Red Flame Sword Aura surged towards Wang Ruoxie.

Even the surrounding air seemed to twist as if ignited, with crackling sounds incessantly ringing out.

"Shocking God Sword Technique, Cloud Emergence Technique."

Wang Ruoxie no longer held back and directly executed the first style of the Shocking God Sword Technique—Cloud Emergence Technique.

Though it was only the first style, the Shocking God Sword Technique was a Saint Level Lower Grade martial technique. Even though he had only cultivated the Cloud Emergence Technique to a Minor Achievement, its power was not inferior to a Profound Tier Lower Grade martial technique and perhaps even surpassed it.

"What use is your Nine-star Swordsmanship Talent or Swordsmanship at Will Perfection if you lack sufficient strength to unleash true power?"

Yang Hongwu sneered, as if he could already see the scene of Wang Ruoxie being annihilated by the Red Flame Sword Aura.

However, the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

For he saw Wang Ruoxie's longsword instantly shred all the Red Flame Sword Aura into nothingness.

"Such a swift sword."

Bing Ling was equally shocked.

She even felt that Wang Ruoxie's swordsmanship exceeded the Profound Level Lower Grade.

At that moment, Wang Ruoxie's sword momentum didn't slow down, continuing to thrust towards Yang Hongwu, swift as lightning.

Strands of Thunder Sword Aura coiled around the longsword in Wang Ruoxie's hand.

Facing the imminent sword, Yang Hongwu's expression drastically changed, not expecting the opponent's sword to be so rapid.

Too late to dodge, Yang Hongwu hastily raised his sword to block, frantically channeling his True Qi to transform into long Red Flame Sword Aura, which eventually formed a Flame Shield to shield himself.

"Break!"

Wang Ruoxie slowly uttered a detached word before deploying techniques of Ninth Layer Strength and Spiral Force to fiercely strike at the Flame Shield.

At the same time, endless Thunder Sword Aura poured down.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the Flame Shield formed by condensed Red Flame Sword Aura instantly shattered and broke apart.

"Hiss!"

A soft sound followed, as Wang Ruoxie's longsword pierced through Yang Hongwu's body.

"Puff!"

Yang Hongwu spewed a mouthful of blood, then collapsed limply to the ground.

"My big brother... will avenge me... I'll be waiting for you in the Netherworld Hell..."

Staring at Wang Ruoxie with a sinister gaze, Yang Hongwu spoke word by word, his voice filled with hatred.

After speaking, he lost all signs of life and died completely.

Wang Ruoxie naturally paid no attention to Yang Hongwu's dying words; if he feared retaliation, there would be no reason to act.

Bending down, he directly took the Jade Talisman from Yang Hongwu's body, then searched around and incorporated Yang Hongwu's Storage Pouch into his own, along with the Fire Element top-grade Treasure Artifact longsword.

"Yang Hongwu was killed just like that!"

Seeing this scene, Bing Ling was utterly shocked, unable to calm down for a long time.

Originally, she thought Wang Ruoxie would be seriously injured if not dead, and even planned to intervene to save him. Yet at this moment, it was Yang Hongwu who lay on the ground.

On the other hand, Wang Ruoxie was not only unscathed but even his clothes were undamaged.

It was evident how effortlessly Wang Ruoxie had fought this battle, proving his strength far surpassed Yang Hongwu's.

Most importantly, this battle made it clear to Bing Ling that Wang Ruoxie was not only powerful but also decisive in battle, showing no mercy to his enemies.

"I told you, your Blood Soul is mine."

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie glanced indifferently at Yang Hongwu, and his eyes turned blood red.

In the next instant, a phantom emerged from Yang Hongwu's corpse: a cluster of flame, surrounded by seven orange halos.

Clearly, this was Yang Hongwu's Blood Soul, condensed from a Profound Level Seventh Grade bloodline power.

Yang Hongwu truly was unfortunate, unable to use his bloodline power before perishing under Wang Ruoxie's sword.

If it were an ordinary Seventh Layer of Energy-Introducing Realm, or even an Eighth or Ninth Layer martial cultivator using their bloodline power, they might not have been defeated.

But alas, he faced Wang Ruoxie, who not only mastered Swordsmanship at Will Perfection but also cultivated Saint Level Lower Grade swordsmanship. Adding the Ninth Layer Strength and Spiral Force techniques to this, made resisting impossible.

Without hesitation, Wang Ruoxie directly devoured and refined Yang Hongwu's Blood Soul.

Although Yang Hongwu's Blood Soul wasn't a Sword Blood Soul but an unknown Flame Martial Soul, to Wang Ruoxie, any kind of Blood Soul was merely a carrier of bloodline power or could allow his Blood Soul to transform and upgrade as a special energy.

Before long, a phantom appeared behind Wang Ruoxie.

It was a flame phantom, encircled by an orange halo.

However, the flame quickly assumed a sword-shaped phantom, with the orange halo remaining unchanged.

"Profound Level First Grade bloodline power."

A faint smile appeared on Wang Ruoxie's lips. Killing Yang Hongwu yielded the greatest benefit from the opponent's Profound Level Seventh Grade Blood Soul, not the Jade Talisman or the top-grade Treasure Artifact longsword.

Although devouring and refining Yang Hongwu's Blood Soul only elevated his bloodline to Profound Level First Grade, compared to the previous Yellow Level Third Grade, it was a qualitative change.

A Yellow Level bloodline enhancement increases power by at most ten percent with each grade, and even special bloodlines enhance only slightly more.

However, evolving from Yellow Level to Profound Level instantly boosts bloodline power tenfold; every subsequent grade increases power by at least twenty percent, with some exceptionally powerful special bloodlines enhancing by thirty percent or more.

Hence, Wang Ruoxie's current Profound Level First Grade bloodline power is over ten times that of the previous Yellow Level Third Grade.

Moreover, his bloodline can now morph into either a Sword Blood Soul or a Flame Blood Soul.

As he devours more Blood Souls, his Blood Soul can naturally transform into different types, which means his methods will far exceed those of ordinary martial cultivators.

After all, no one else can not only upgrade their bloodline level by devouring Blood Souls but also freely change their type.

"How is this even possible?"

Bing Ling, hiding not far away, witnessed this entire process and couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe someone could enhance their bloodline level by consuming another's Blood Soul or even change the Blood Soul type.

Some people can alter their bloodline with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, high-grade Pills, Divine Secret Techniques, or great fortuitous encounters, but never as Wang Ruoxie did, by directly devouring others' Blood Souls.

"Come out."

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie looked towards Bing Ling's location and spoke.

Bing Ling's heart trembled slightly, then she stepped forward to stand before Wang Ruoxie.
