One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

One could see the Purple Owl Lord looking frantic and murderous, as if he wanted to kill someone.

The White Crane Star Lord also realized he might have gone a bit too far just now. He reached out, touched his nose, and hummed, "What in the world happened? Why are you in such a sorry state? What about the Bloodvine Lord? Wasn’t he moving with you?"

"What happened? You’ll find out soon enough!"

The Purple Owl Lord had been engaging in a battle of wits and bravery, and was just about to escape from the clutches of Su Heng.

But he was thwarted by the slap of the White Crane Star Lord, all his previous efforts wasted. He was now truly frantic, smoke coming out from all orifices, on the brink of crying without tears.

At this moment, he was pacing in circles on the ground with a bitter expression on his face, stamping his feet. Finally unable to contain his anger, he pointed at the White Crane Star Lord’s nose and cursed, "Damn it, encountering your pig snout is really my unlucky charm!"

"What on earth is going on?"

A mighty lord, provoked into stomping his feet on the spot, appeared as though he was going to break down and cry. The White Crane Star Lord was also taken aback, an ominous premonition rising faintly in his heart.

Not to mention the White Crane Star Lord.

She was just about to burn her life essence in a fight to the death, but in a blink, lo and behold, a one-hundred-eighty-degree turn occurred, presenting her with this drama. For a moment, Shunying was stunned, unsure whether to keep running forward or to sneak away backward.

Bang!

Just then, a violent vibration came from the ground.

The surrounding buildings shuddered fearfully, and the two demons and one human in the garden turned to look at the grand hall with its doors tightly shut.

Following this was another loud noise, this time with thick cracks spreading across the platinum-colored doors. Dangerous, fiery red light burst forth from the cracks, one stream, two streams, three streams—

Boom!

Black smoke billowed, and the doors exploded with a bang.

A tall, dark figure emerged from the hall, his body surging with blood energy. He was bare-chested, and his thick, sinuous veins wrapped around his body like draconic chains. What flowed within them seemed not like blood but more like searing lava, emitting a dangerous glow.

Su Heng’s long hair billowed, and his face was full of murderous intent. His black and red eyes swept around, quickly landing on the Purple Owl Lord.

"Keep running, why aren’t you running now!"

Noticing another towering demon beside the Purple Owl Lord, Su Heng exhaled a puff of smoke, bared his teeth in a sinister smile, "Ah, I see. You’ve found some help. But, do the two of you really dare to take action against me!?"

"And who might you be, nothing but a mere mortal!"

The White Crane Star Lord swept up his robe, took a determined step forward, and posed confidently.

He slightly lifted his head, a proud look on his face, and scoffed, "Today, I, the White Crane Star Lord, am here. You mortals need to learn restraint."

The Purple Owl Lord tiptoed, hunched his shoulders, and bowed his head, attempting to slip away quietly.

But he was unsuccessful, as the White Crane Star Lord grabbed his arm and dragged him back.

"He’s just an ordinary person, not even of the Heavenly Deceit rank. With us brothers united, we are invincible and unbeatable. In this vast world, I can soar wherever I wish. What is there to fear?" The White Crane Star Lord laughed heartily, speaking with great confidence.

"I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense..." The Purple Owl Lord was numb, despair filling his wide eyes.

I’m tired, let this world be destroyed.

"Excellent!" Seeing the White Crane Star Lord’s spirited attitude, Su Heng burst into laughter instead.

Although the Purple Owl Lord was not very strong, his speed was truly unmatched, and he had a thorough understanding of the mausoleum’s structure.

Su Heng had been chasing him and had nearly allowed him to escape. It was the White Crane Star Lord’s straightforward, hard-hitting, stubborn approach that agreed with Su Heng’s taste.

"I like how direct you are. When I kill you later, I’ll make sure it’s quick!" Su Heng roared with laughter, his voice carrying from afar.

"Empty words are easy to utter, but let’s see some real proof of your abilities," White Crane Star Lord said, "Come on then, show me what you can do."

"Alright, you asked for it!"

Blood vessels burst in Su Heng’s eyes as he took a deep breath, stirring up currents of dust. His chest swelled rapidly before he suddenly opened his mouth wide and, facing the direction of White Crane Star Lord and Purple Owl Lord, let out a terrifying, deafening roar.

BOOM!!!

A roar exploded violently.

Instantly, eighteen crimson bolts of lightning struck down, and the ground burst open. The withered seedlings in the vast garden were destroyed in a blink. Whirling air currents kicked up dust and debris, exploding in all directions and quickly forming a frightful, sky-obscuring dust storm of immense power!

The directly struck White Crane Star Lord’s expression turned to one of utter despair and shock.

He felt as if someone had savagely hammered the back of his head with an iron mallet; his feathers exploded out all at once. Blood gushed from his ears, nose, and mouth like a stream, staining the ground at his feet. His head pounded unbearably, preventing any coherent thought.

He gasped for air, his pupils dilating, with a film of blood over his vision.

Amidst the red glow,

Layers of black mist exploded again and again.

A burly silhouette trudged through the nursery, advancing forward.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The facial features were not clear, but one could make out a mouth full of sharp white teeth and a pair of eyes shining with bloodlust.

Like falling into an icy cave, White Crane Star Lord’s survival instinct overtook his reason. Before he could react, he had already pushed Purple Owl Lord in front of him and then, with a forceful downward motion, spread his wings and rapidly retreated backward at high speed.

Thunderous boom!

A loud blast emanated from within the black mist, which gradually dispersed.

"What on earth did I just do!?" White Crane Star Lord shuddered, quickly shaking his head, his eyes bulging. As the dust settled, he saw Purple Owl Lord’s feathers scattered across the sky, his body torn to pieces, with blood spilling all over the place.

White Crane Star Lord was horrified. Only then did he understand why Purple Owl Lord had seemed so frantic and agitated when they’d first encountered each other and he’d intervened.

He turned to run, but it was already too late.

From within the black mist,

The sneering form of Su Heng shot out like a hawk.

Quickly closing the distance, he threw a punch towards White Crane Star Lord without any warning.

The punch roared, deafening. A mountainous torrent of pitch-black energy followed, overpowering the force with which White Crane Star Lord tried to resist. The ferocious energy swept over him, blood spraying out. White Crane Star Lord’s head flew into the air and only after a moment, did it heavily hit the ground.

Thud!

The bloody head rolled like a ball, collecting soil from the ground.

It finally came to a stop, facing the decapitated face of Purple Owl Lord from afar. The body of Purple Owl Lord, riddled with holes, trembled slightly and then closed its eyes, life leaving it completely.

"You were no more than this, such a disappointment," Su Heng looked down at the frozen look of horror on White Crane Star Lord’s head, then shook his head and sneered. He bent down to rip a handful of white, soft feathers from White Crane Star Lord’s corpse, used them to wipe the bloodstains off his body clean, and stepped forward.

It was only then that he noticed another person still in the garden.

The two looked at each other from afar.

Thump!

The phoenix spear slipped from Qin Shunying’s grasp and fell to the ground, piercing the earth.

"I never thought it would actually be you," Su Heng discarded the bloodied feathers in his hand, his mouth curling into a grin, a smile spreading across his face.
