Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

Despite the attacks from the crowd, Wan Tianrui remained calm and quickly retreated, clutching the corpse in his hand.

All of their attacks missed, only managing to strike his afterimage.

"Too slow, you're all too slow." Wan Tianrui mocked the crowd, then blew a puff of red gas at the corpse, and after the red gas suddenly covered the entire corpse, he inhaled sharply.

After the red aura disappeared, the once plump and fleshy corpse turned into a dried-up corpse.

"The evil cultivators of the Holy Blood Hall of the Holy Heaven Sect are very wicked. They cultivate a technique called Blood-Drawing Technique, which relies on absorbing the blood and qi of other cultivators instead of spiritual energy."

The speed of improvement is extremely fast; in just a few years, one can go from the initial stage of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

"Their own strength is also quite strange, and their bodies can automatically heal after being injured, without feeling pain. Therefore, the Holy Blood Hall is also one of the stronger halls of the Holy Heaven Sect," Chen Zhi said from the side.

"Wouldn't it be invincible if we had more members of the Holy Heaven Sect?" Lu Yan was also surprised to hear this.

In just a few years, I went from being a novice on the path of cultivation to reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. I wouldn't even dare to say that this Blood-Drawing Technique is even more powerful than my own system.

"This Blood-Drawing Technique is indeed powerful, but it also has great limitations. Very few people can cultivate it, and it is said that the aftereffects are also very serious. It also has the fewest people in the entire sect."

"The evil cultivators of the Holy Blood Hall often lose their minds and attack each other, and many members of the Holy Heaven Sect have suffered because of them." Yue Tingxin answered Lu Yan's question.

"I see." Wan Tianrui reminded Lu Yan of the evil cultivator he had killed some time ago, from whom he had obtained a high-grade flying magic artifact.

It was learned through the Pen of Truth that he was a member of the Holy Demon Hall of the Holy Heaven Sect.

If other branches of the Holy Heaven Sect have their own specialties, then the Holy Demon Hall is a hodgepodge, including those who suck souls, suck blood, suck marrow, refine bodies, and play with Gu poison. Basically, anyone who can't make it in the righteous path will join the Holy Demon Hall.

The activities are also quite free, similar to the retainers of Wuyou City, who do things for money.

Although the Holy Demon Hall has a large number of members, their overall quality is poor, they are unruly, and it is difficult to unite them into a cohesive unit.

"What do we do now?" a monk asked.

"This guy is extremely fast and ruthless. If we don't get rid of him, we won't get far. Let's attack together," Yue Tingxin, the strongest among them, said through gritted teeth.

"Okay." The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Hehehe~ You think you can get rid of me with just a few of you? Today I'll show you what I'm capable of." Wan Tianrui wasn't worried about the group at all.

He threw aside the dried corpse in his hand and launched another attack.

Her fingernails suddenly turned into sharp claws and then reached out to grab Yue Tingxin.

Seeing this, the others quickly came to their aid.

Lu Yan threw five Yin-dispelling talismans directly at him.

Chen Zhi and the others also unleashed their best skills, with sword energy, saber energy, and magical artifacts flashing all at once.

"Too weak, too weak." Wan Tianrui waved his hands, and the red light, carrying a strong smell of blood, collided with it.

It was as if a flurry of punches were thrown into a turbulent sea; all their attacks were ineffective, and even Lu Yan's Yin-transforming talisman had no effect on the red light.

"The evil cultivators of the Holy Blood Hall are truly wicked," Chen Zhi couldn't help but mutter.

At this point, they would rather face the heretical cultivators of the Holy Corpse Hall or the Holy Spirit Hall. Although they are strong, at least they know their background and have ways to deal with them.

"Useless, useless, none of your attacks work on me." After the attacks from the others subsided, Wan Tianrui launched another attack.

"I don't believe you're invulnerable! Die!" Yue Tingxin also lost her temper and slashed at Wan Tianrui with her sword.

"Hehehe~ Little girl, you can't hurt me with your strength." Wan Tianrui easily caught Yue Tingxin's attack and snatched the blade into his hand.

"Damn it!" Yue Tingxin tried to pull the sword out, but it didn't budge.

Left with no other choice, Yue Tingxin had to abandon her sword and retreat quickly, taking out her longbow, nocking an arrow, and drawing the bowstring to shoot at Wan Tianrui.

"Chirp~" The arrow was very fast, turning into a ball of blue light and flying towards Wan Tianrui.

Even though the arrow was very fast, Wan Tianrui easily dodged it.

The first arrow failed to achieve its purpose, and Yue Tingxin continued to shoot, but it was still useless. In fact, Wan Tianrui even caught the last arrow and snapped it in two.

"Damn it." Seeing that even her proud archery skills were no match for Wan Tianrui, Yue Tingxin felt helpless.

"You guys are done playing, right? It's my turn now." Wan Tianrui seemed to have lost his patience. His whole body transformed into a ball of red light and attacked his new target. This time, his target was Lu Yan.

Lu Yan dared not be careless. He quickly cast three Holy Light Talismans on himself and then summoned the Pickaxe of the Mining God to prepare for battle.

The moment Wan Tianrui got close, he swung the Mine God's Pickaxe down with all his might.

A dull thud followed.

"Click click click~"

All three layers of holy light defense shattered, and Lu Yan was thrown back by the immense force, rolling several feet before finally stopping.

Wan Tianrui, who had been enduring Lu Yan's sharp rebuke, was also in bad shape. His entire right hand was mangled and missing flesh, and even his bloody, eerie red fingernails were all broken.

"Huh~ Your weapon is interesting. It can actually break my Bloodscale Claws." Wan Tianrui said with some surprise as he looked at his hands.

Everyone was overjoyed to see Wan Tianrui injured. Just as they were about to rush forward to attack him, they discovered that his right hand was healing rapidly. In just a few breaths, it had returned to normal, and even his red fingernails had grown back to their original length.

That resilience is just insane.

The steps that were about to be taken forward were pulled back again.

At this moment, Lu Yan also jumped up from the ground, his face looking rather ugly. He realized that he was completely powerless to fight back against Wan Tianrui.

With a single strike, he withstood the attack of the Mining God's Pickaxe, shattered three holy light defenses, and was sent flying.

It seems that we have no choice but to think of other solutions. Not many things from the zigzag wheel are useful, and many things from the magic wheel cannot be used openly, since there are too many people around.

The third-tier talisman that Qinghualian gave herself was very rare and should not be used in this situation.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan had an idea.

He took out more than a dozen first-tier high-level talismans and used them on Wan Tianrui, while he followed closely behind, swinging his Mining God's Pickaxe to attack in succession.

"Brother Lu, we're here to help you." Seeing that Lu Yan was going to face Wan Tianrui alone, Yue Tingxin quickly took out a sword from her storage bag and attacked together.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow suit, picking up their weapons and attacking Wan Tianrui.

"Hehehe~ I told you it's useless, just die." Wan Tianrui waved his hands, and a red light flashed as the talisman Lu Yan used became ineffective again.

Wan Tianrui didn't take their attacks seriously at all.

After blocking the attack, he grabbed Xia Yueya, who was closest to him.
