Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle

Yuan Yingmu, a cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, is one of only a handful of cultivators in the entire Huannan Ridge.

Now, having lost its head, it was held in Muddy Four's wet and sticky hands, its body reduced to a pile of shattered pieces.

The two Yuan family cultivators who were locked in combat nearby were utterly horrified upon witnessing this scene.

So he quickly dodged the swing of the large spear, the fine wind and sword waves.

The two leaned on each other and retreated to the edge of the water palace, where they began to regulate their magical power.

The Yuan family cultivator who had initially tried to persuade Han Jinwei to surrender glanced back at the solid water walls of the water mansion, which were so tightly sealed that there was no place to escape.

His face now looked extremely pale, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

He originally thought that with Yuan Yingtuan, who had just broken through, in charge, and eight Qi Refining cultivators present, he would be able to lead his troops here today.

Entering the Han family compound would be an easy, unstoppable advance, offering no chance for looting and replenishing one's depleted storage bag.

Unexpectedly, in no time, an elder at the mid-stage of Qi Refining died at the hands of Han Jieliu, whom they had never paid attention to before, and now the two of them were in danger.

Regardless of their relationship with Yuan Yingmu, whether they were sad or angry, they dared not think about it at this moment.

He had only one thought in his mind: to escape this water mansion as quickly as possible and get as far away from Han Jieliu as possible.

Several cultivators in the distance also witnessed this scene, and when they saw Yuan Yingmu's headless corpse, they were as if they had seen a ghost.

Mud-stained scales and blood-stained face—the death of Yuan Yingmu shook every cultivator inside and outside Jianzhu Mountain.

Han Jinwei also saw this scene, turned his eyes, and suddenly found that Yuan Yingtuan had moved.

Upon seeing this, Han Jinwei's eyebrows twitched, and he instantly drew his sword and swung it.

Several sword energies gleaming with a bluish light flew out, but were blocked by the bloodthirsty aura emanating from Yuan Yingtuan.

"Such a heavy aura of bloodlust, how many mortals has it killed, how much blood essence has it absorbed... It's probably no different from a demonic cultivator."

Han Jinwei immediately recalled the frequent occurrences over the years of destruction of ordinary villages on Huannan Ridge, leaving them utterly desolate.

I originally thought it was just the work of demonic cultivators from Donghe, but I never expected it to be the work of Yuan Yingtuan.

Yuan Yingtuan headed towards the Water Mansion, while Han Jinwei also rode the wind forward, raising his sword to block him.

Unexpectedly, the tall and thin Yuan Yingtuan was very fast. It seemed that he used some kind of movement technique, which enhanced his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation. He walked away in the blink of an eye, as if taking a stroll.

Yuan Yingtuan arrived in front of the Water Mansion, his gray robe fluttering. His eyes were expressionless as he glanced at it indifferently and then gently reached out to grab it.

Those arms were covered in a thick, malevolent aura, with a strange, deathly pale color, like a ghost.

Although Yuan Yingtuan's appearance was almost inhuman, cold and aloof, his eyes were dark and lifeless.

But its aura and appearance were nowhere near as eerie as this hand.

It didn't look like a human hand, but rather like a ghost untying its belt and extending its hand from under its sleeve.

The arm pierced straight through, and the Water Mansion that had blocked the three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators was completely ineffective to Yuan Yingtuan.

In just a moment, he suddenly tore through the curtain of the water palace and walked in.

Han Jieliu looked at the Yuan family patriarch who had broken into the water mansion so easily, and took a few steps back.

No wonder he became a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator and was considered a peak elder in Xiaowei Mountain, a high-ranking position.

The gap between it and the middle stage is so large that it is even more exaggerated than the gap between the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.

Yuan Yingtuan did not attack Han Jieliu, but instead went to the corpse of Yuan Yingmu.

The mud-covered creature, its green scales rustling, still wanted to fight Yuan Yingtuan, but he raised his hand and used a spell to disperse it, turning it into mud and water.

The clay dragon was disturbed by the evil energy and could not be restored to its original state for a while. It could only turn into a muddy mess that churned on the surface of the mansion.

This was the first time Han Jieliu had seen a technique that could affect clay figures, and he became even more wary of Yuan Yingtuan before him.

He also retrieved the clay figures that had been entangled with the two members of the Yuan family, and stood guard in front of him, holding a spear and a sword.

The Water Palace dislikes filth, and Yuan Yingtuan's body was filled with a bloodthirsty aura, causing the Water Palace itself to change, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

He ignored everything else and gently made a hand seal.

Yuan Yingmu's flesh and blood instantly coalesced, condensed, and shrank, transforming into a Nourishing Killing Pill shimmering with red blood.

The Nourishing Killing Pill floated gently in the air, and then, without hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp, right before everyone's eyes.

After taking the pill, Yuan Yingtuan's aura immediately increased significantly.

Han Jieliu remained expressionless upon witnessing this scene.

The two Yuan family cultivators standing nearby were utterly shocked and disoriented, finding it hard to believe what they were witnessing.

Yuan Yingtuan has gone mad; he actually swallowed one of his own cultivators, one of his own brothers.

Although Yuan Yingtuan broke through to the late stage by consuming the Nourishing Killing Pill, which was transformed from the blood and qi of an ordinary person, all the elders of his family knew this.

But that's okay, after the harvest, another batch of mortals will grow back.

But now he has actually refined a lineage of elders from his own clan into pills and consumed them, which is truly astonishing.

"This person is definitely not Ying Tuan, but during his breakthrough, he was taken away by some demonic cultivator from somewhere..."

Upon seeing this scene, the two looked fearful and confused, and immediately tried to flee the water palace.

So, disregarding the cost, he took out several talismans from his bag.

But before they could even make a move, Yuan Yingtuan, carrying a menacing aura, approached them and took out a sword stained with evil.

"Yuan Yingtuan, what are you doing? Have you forgotten the brotherly bond we shared in childhood?"

The monk's shrill voice rang out again, but then abruptly stopped.

A malevolent aura erupted from Yuan Yingtuan's body, leaving both of them dazed and powerless to resist.

Then a small knife appeared, slicing open the hearts of the two men, and came out bleeding.

With a gentle hand seal, his blood and qi condensed and transformed into two Nourishing Qi Pills.

The clothes and skin dried up, almost turning to ashes, and were swept away by the spiritual water with a crisp sound.

Han Jieliu was also shocked by Yuan Yingtuan's ruthlessness and couldn't understand the meaning behind his actions.

"Since the Yuan family patriarch has brought troops here to annex my Han family, why did he attack the cultivators in his own clan, especially his brothers, and even try to refine them into pills?"

"If they truly needed blood essence to consume it, they could have slaughtered my entire family first, or sealed off the Yuan family after breaking through to the late stage. Why stay here? What is their purpose?"

Meanwhile, Han Jinwei, who was far away, flew closer and entered the water mansion.

He took in what had just happened and whispered to Han Jieliu.

"Liu'er, this Yuan Yingtuan is acting very strangely. It seems that his temperament has been changed by his cultivation method, and he is very different from before."

"Such unusual behavior may be preparing for or fitting the imagery of some foundational practice."
