Chapter 73: Blood Seal Warrior

Fang Yun felt a surge of determination and urged the vine to pursue the burly man further. By this time, the burly man had retreated inside the main gate.

As he saw the terrifying vine closing in, he couldn't help but regret provoking Fang Yun. It was clear that Fang Yun was much stronger than any cultivator he had faced before, far beyond what he could handle. However, with a deadly feud established between them, he had no choice but to find a way to kill Fang Yun; otherwise, it would be his own death.

Thus, the burly man shouted, "Archers, fire! Kill him! Everyone else, attack too!"

Upon receiving the command, the archers from the Giant Whale Gang, already positioned on the walls, swiftly shot their arrows toward Fang Yun.

Fang Yun glanced at the arrows flying toward him but didn't take them seriously. With a thought, the roots of the vine, still swirling around his feet, burst out of the ground and rapidly spread out.

They formed a protective formation, blocking all the incoming arrows. While the roots were thin, they were still a form of spiritual plant. Even with the enhancement of internal energy, it was impossible for the archers to penetrate them.

Then, these roots, each several meters long, shot out and brutally pierced into the bodies of the oncoming gang members. In that instant, all the members of the Giant Whale Gang around them fell dead.

Meanwhile, after dodging a few strikes of blade energy, the tip of the vine finally reached the burly man's body. It then wrapped around him tightly, its terrifying spikes piercing into his flesh, causing a massive flow of blood that shattered his ability to resist.

While the events unfolded in the blink of an eye, the Black Widow hadn't even registered what was happening.

Except for the few men the burly man had initially brought, who had remained inside and survived by chance, all the archers on the walls outside were dead. The burly man himself had been captured alive by Fang Yun.

At this moment, two of the men the burly man had brought suddenly realized what was happening. They turned to escape, using their lightness skills. But Fang Yun would not let them escape.

The vine extended gracefully, and its sharp spikes swiftly claimed their lives. Before the others could react, the vine spun and finished off the remaining ten or so men.

In the end, only Fang Yun, the Black Widow, and the barely conscious burly man remained.

"Immortal Master, please spare me! I know I was wrong. I beg you to let me live! I promise the entire Giant Whale Gang, with tens of thousands of members, will obey your orders!"

The burly man was hoisted in the air by the vine, blood continuously pouring from his body onto the ground. But he was too frantic to care about that, desperately begging Fang Yun for mercy while hoping to save his life.

Fang Yun glanced at him, not taking him seriously, and instead turned to the Black Widow. He had too many questions about what had happened today.

"Black Widow, don't you intend to explain?"

The Black Widow, somewhat dazed, looked at the burly leader hanging in the air and then at the surrounding corpses.

She hadn't expected the seemingly invincible leader of the Giant Whale Gang to be defeated so easily by the cultivator she had allied with, making her previous actions seem like a joke.

Hearing Fang Yun's question, the Black Widow disregarded the blood on the ground and knelt down.

"Congratulations, Immortal Master, on your significant advancement in power, defeating the leader of the Giant Whale Gang!"

Standing before her, Fang Yun shook his head at her flattery. "I don't see anything worth congratulating! Is it really that difficult to defeat an innate realm warrior? You know I'm not asking about that!"

The widow slightly raised her head, glanced at the burly man hanging in the air, and then bitterly smiled. "Immortal Master, he's not just an ordinary innate warrior. He's a Blood Seal Warrior, even more powerful than innate warriors."

The strength of the Blood Seal Warrior is not much inferior to that of low-level cultivators. Once, he had used the Blue Moon Blade in his hand to kill no fewer than five cultivators. His subordinates were aware of this, which is why they had urged the Immortal Master to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Master's strength had advanced so much in the years since they last met. Even a Blood Seal Warrior was no match for him, easily defeated. This made his subordinates' previous actions seem a bit foolish.

"A Blood Seal Warrior? Is that a realm that surpasses innate warriors?"

Fang Yun's interest piqued at this. Could it be that, aside from cultivators, there was another system that led to a higher level? If that were the case, could he cultivate in this system as well? Instinctively, Fang Yun wanted to claim this system for himself. After all, who wouldn't want to enhance their strength if there was a way?

At that moment, the burly man hanging from the vine weakly said, "Immortal Master, I know much more about Blood Seal Warriors. Could you please let me down first? I'll explain everything to you slowly!"

The burly man was feeling increasingly weak as his blood continued to drain. Hearing their discussion about Blood Seal Warriors, he hurried to ingratiate himself. He feared that if the two continued talking, he might bleed out completely.

Fang Yun glanced at him and felt that indeed the burly man knew a bit more about this topic. With a thought, the vine detached from his body and dropped him to the ground.

However, Fang Yun did not let down his guard. Even after the burly man landed, the vine remained nearby, ready to extinguish him if he attempted any other actions.

The burly man, ignoring the vine next to him, picked up the blue dagger in his hand and sat cross-legged.

Immediately, a blue glow enveloped his body. Under the influence of the blue light, the wounds on his body began to slowly stop bleeding, and his breath gradually steadied.

Fang Yun observed this scene without interfering in the burly man's healing process. Instead, he focused on the blue glow surrounding him.

Fang Yun realized that this blue light emitted waves of spiritual energy. Although it was not pure spiritual energy, it was evident that it contained a significant amount.

So this is what a Blood Seal Warrior is like? Do they also use spiritual energy to cultivate? Or is it a kind of elemental energy containing spiritual energy?

Fang Yun's curiosity about Blood Seal Warriors was growing!

At that moment, the Black Widow, who had already stood up, furrowed her brows upon seeing the burly man healing. "Immortal Master, what about this?"

Fang Yun shook his head at her. He understood her concerns; he knew that if the burly man survived, he would pose a great threat to the Black Widow.

However, Fang Yun didn't care about that. He only wanted to know the specifics about Blood Seal Warriors.
