Expected This but...

The man narrowed his eyes.

After that punch, he didn't stop. He sent consecutive punches and Xu An almost dodged all of them.

The difference in strength was great. Judging by the man's spiritual fluctuation around him, he was around the Third Stage of Sea Condensed Dantian.

He was two whole realms above him! The difference was no different than Heaven and Earth! It would be hard to defeat him!

Fortunately, that only applied to normal people. For Xu An, who learned unrivaled technique. He could defeat him!

But he didn't know something else helped him...

It's not impossible to defeat him. I must wait for the perfect time! Xu An said to himself as he endured blow after blow. His face was swollen and one couldn't differentiate him from a pig.

Blood all over his body and internal bleeding. He could tell his bones were broken but he couldn't tell which bones they were.

Was it the arm? Ribs? Or legs?

Regardless, he had to withstand these attacks and at the same time recover himself.

He wasn't sure how his recovery increased after he fainted as he saved Arza from his doom but it was a pleasant surprise.

This goes without saying that the man noticed this. He was shocked. All of his blows were no joke, it could kill someone in Xu An's realm to meat paste!

Yet, not only did Xu An's body endure his attacks without showing signs of ripping apart, but it also recovered!

Xu An's swollen face began to heal itself at a visible rate!

Does this kid have the ability to self recover?! The man was alarmed.

He retreated as he took a few steps back. Distanced themselves greatly.

Xu An was still in the room and the man was outside. Standing on the inn's corridor.

The entire room was soaked in maroon liquid. The white bed was dyed in red, as well as the ceiling, wall, and floor.

People would faint as soon as they saw this, it was like a butchery house.

Anyway, the reason why the man hurriedly retreated was that: people possessed recovery, especially like Xu An. They must be someone you shouldn't fight. There were a few reasons and mainly three.

First, they had activated their bloodline power.

Second, certain techniques which usually had destructive power and self-recovery were the side effects.

Third, consume powerful healing potions beforehand.

If one elaborated the three reasons. It would be long and so, making it brief, one had to be extremely careful when facing them!

This kid's real name is Xu An, right? He's from the Xu clan. Crap, did his bloodline ability trigger? This isn't like that person said! What is a brat that just entered the cultivation world? He has his bloodline ability on his back! The man's mind raced and was anxious.

In the history of the Xu clan. Only those with the thick blood of their ancestors could use their bloodline ability and someone like that hasn't appeared in a very long time.

Even the current young master has yet to activate his bloodline ability but that is only a matter of time.

Who is this brat? I thought he was an ordinary member of the Xu clan. The man felt regret making an enemy out of Xu An.

"Just who are you? When did you activate your bloodline ability?" The man asked as he tried his best to stay calm.

However, Xu An didn't say anything in return. He stretched his neck as it let out cracking noises and by then he replied with his eyes narrowed, "Bloodline ability?"

"You don't know what that is?" The man asked, a bit surprised.

"I know what it is based on the name. Bloodline ability is something when a person wakes up the power hidden in their blood.

"I don't feel like I did any of that though." He expressed his doubt.

"Bloodline ability comes with side effects and the most common ones are rapid recovery and strength soared by many folds.

"Are you an ordinary member of the Xu clan?" The man doubtfully.

Xu An didn't reply as he let out a mysterious smile.

Not long after, his hair fluttered as his aura exploded and spread like waves! It was stronger than before and the man was stunned.

This was strength multiplied by many times he was talking about! The man was sure Xu An didn't know his bloodline ability yet, but this betray that line of thought.

It came so suddenly.

"Are you tricking me?" The man felt anger rush to his body, blood boiling.

"No, I just want to kill you with everything I got, and suddenly this happens." Xu An shrugged.

The man reflexively didn't believe his words. Looking at his expression though, the man gradually believed his words.

From Xu An's killing intent, looked like there was no room for negotiation.

Although the difference in the cultivation realm was big. Against Xu An that had his bloodline ability, all of his resistance would be for naught.

Since it came to this. The man prepared himself for the worse. He didn't hold back and his aura exploded, same as Xu An.

Next, Xu An's figure vanished and appeared before the man. The latter dodged but it was too late.

Too fast! The man said hurriedly in his mind.

Xu An thrust forward his sword at the man's throat, piercing Adam's apple and coming out of the back.

The man wanted to scream but his vocal cords were destroyed by the sharp blade. His eyes open wide that they could fall from their sockets.

Before the man could do anything, Xu An pulled back his sword out of the man's throat and he flicked it. The blood on it splashed onto the floor and shortly thereafter, blood gushed out of the man's throat like a fountain.

The man tried to stop it or at least slow it down with his hands but it was futile. It kept flowing out.

Finally, after a futile struggle, he lost his strength as his eyes lost their luster.

He collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud. Soaked in his pool of blood.

"Damn, I used too much qi," Xu An said casually before falling to the ground with his face kissing it.

A loud thud shortly followed.

In that position, he felt his body ache all over the place and numbness too. He couldn't feel his legs or arms.

He could only recover slowly.

I don't know what just happened but my strength suddenly soared. Is this because of the battle technique I've learned? Or something else in my body? Right, I've heard him say about my bloodline ability. Probably that's the reason, Xu An mused and he smiled.

To think his bloodline ability would be the first one to awaken before his little brother. He felt good.

He mustered his remaining strength to change his position to face the sky.

Gaining enough strength, he slowly raised his torso and looked at the dead body. 

His body was weak but that didn't let his greed… ehem, curiosity down. He was curious about what this man had and if there was something good, he wanted to bring it with him.

Just as he was about to do a complete search for his spoil of war. The man suddenly underwent a complete change!

Xu An could hear the gust of wind, which mysteriously formed above him and spiraled above the dead body.

Slowly, the spiraling wind approach the body and as soon as they came in contact, the body changed to ashes as it was guided by it.

It was like the wind was a highly corrosive acid and the body was metal.

From the man's limbs, all the way to his head. It became ashes, but instead of scattering and vanished from Xu An's eyes.

The ashes formed a whirlpool! It was as though a mini sandstorm happened in front of Xu An!

On the center of the whirlpool. Something small began taking shape. This thing absorbed the ashes as the whirlpool shrunk in size. Earlier, it was the size of an ordinary man but over time, it became the size of a child as it kept shrinking down until the ashes were completely absorbed by this small thing.

The whirlpool quickly disappeared as it came.

Xu An frowned as he sized up the small thing. It was the size of flower seed and if not for the fact he witnessed the whole thing. He wouldn't know if this was from a dead body but instead a real seed.

This, it can't be that this is… Xu An was shocked and hesitated to accept the truth.
