Chapter 347: 【270】Crazy Devouring! Crazy Evolution! (Happy Spring Festival)_1


    “`


    Gongsun Xuancang, Gongsun Xuantian, and Gongsun Xuanhai were allpletely stupefied at the sight of their ancestor turning into a cloud of blood and exploding in mid-air.


    This! How is this possible!


    How is this possible!


    Who is Pei Jinye?


    In the intelligence gathered by their Gongsun Family, Pei Jinye was merely ying the role of a little follower around Lin Xiawei in the Qian Feng death incident!


    And he had only joined the Investigation Team not too long ago.


    Even if he did manage to kill Gongsun Muyang with one sword strike, which indeed brought a considerable shock to the Gongsun Family, it should not have been possible for him now to burst the ancestor with one sword!


    Right now, Gongsun Xuanhai felt that the most shocking scene in his life was witnessing this Investigation Team rookie, younger than his own son, unleashing a unique and terrifying power.


    What on earth… is going on?<div>


    Why is this world producing one freak after another?


    The sound of the sword was crisp. Under the surge of Blood Qi, Pei Jinye’s understanding of Sword Intent had developed further, with an intangible force radiating and spreading from his body outwards.


    Lin Xiawei looked over with uncertainty.


    She wasn’t sure if it was a misperception, but the Sword Intent emanating from her junior brother… did not seem to match “A Sword Determines Life or Death.”


    She pondered with her gaze lowered for a moment.


    But she didn’t think there was anything wrong.


    Only the Sword Intent that transcends swordsmanship itself can be the swordsman’s own path.


    However…


    Lin Xiawei raised her head, looking doubtfully at the back of her junior brother.


    The path he is taking…


    Is it really the path of a swordsman?


    Pei Jinye was savoring the sword strike he had just performed, which was his first serious activation of Sword Intent since practicing the “Twelve Lotus of Hunyuan”.


    He brought up his attribute panel.


    [Vitality Value]: 69.8-70.3,


    [Stamina]: 55-68.3;


    [Psychic Power]: 53-68.6;(Extraordinary Second Rank 30)


    Number of new Extraordinary-Human Genes increased to eight.


    Including three elemental attributes of water, thunder, and fire, which were directly integrated into the Lord of Elements, multiplying the power of the elements by eight.


    Among the five other Extraordinary attributes, two of them are psychicworks, which were also integrated.<div>


    Thest threemon Transcendents were transformed into Variant Blood Individuals and devoured on the spot… If not for


    If it weren’t for the Bloodthirsty Bead, his Vitality would definitely not return to its peak.


    In such a situation, daring to Devour, Pei Jinye was walking a tightrope… It was too bad that he was still too weak; otherwise, he would have devoured far more than just eight Transcendents.


    Moreover, devouring these eight people was quite taxing on his mind.<div>


    It required not just avoiding the vision of others but also ensuring he wasn’t ambushed while devouring…


    If Pei Jinye didn’t possess a brainparable to an artificialputer, he wouldn’t dare to be so reckless.


    “To force me to this extent is enough to prove your ability,” the voice of the Gongsun Ancestor suddenly came through the air.


    Pei Jinye tensed up, sensed something, and swiftly struck out with his sword, shing through a cloud of blood.


    Pei Jinye’s heart skipped a beat.


    This isn’t right!


    Blood Pattern instantly activated!


    To outsiders, it appeared as the perfected King Kong Indestructible… almost in a millionth of a second, Pei Jinye’s figure was suddenly sted away.


    “`


    In midair, he suffered hundreds of attacks.


    “Condense!”


    Pei Jinye uttered lightly.


    The invisible attack immediately stagnated for a moment.<div>


    It was in that moment, Pei Jinye ferociously shed down with his sword.


    The sword light surged!


    At the same time, he also enveloped the Misty Shadow Wind de within the sword light.


    Wounds left by the Misty Shadow Wind de are difficult to heal.


    Pei Jinye still did not know what secret technique the Gongsun Ancestor had cultivated and was unable to find a way to counter it for the time being; he could only sh swords with raw power to try his luck.


    “Hiss!”


    A cloud of blood fog exploded.


    Pei Jinye’s form slid over ten meters on the ground.


    Before he couldnd, Gongsun Xuanhai rapidly closed in, unleashing the explosive force of his punch, with scorching air streaming from his golden boxing gloves.


    As if Pei Jinye had eyes in the back of his head, he easily twisted his joints, and his sword, under the reflection of silver light, firmlynded on Gongsun Xuanhai’s fist.


    “ng!”


    The dull sound of metal colliding rang out.


    Gongsun Xuanhai bared his teeth in a vicious smile, “Die with my son!”<div>


    His two hands, like the gaping maw of a crocodile, burst forth with terrifying “biting power,” aiming to crush Pei Jinye to pieces.


    However, Pei Jinye’s gaze did not waver in the slightest.


    His free left hand struck silently,nding on Gongsun Xuanhai’s knee.


    “You!”


    Gongsun Xuanhai’splexion shifted dramatically.


    This kid’s strength! How could it be! So terrifying!


    The sound of bones cracking echoed instantly.


    With his kneecappletely shattered, Gongsun Xuanhai couldn’t help but grunt in pain, his movements momentarily slowing.


    Pei Jinye’s sword, as quick as lightning, aimed for his neck. Startled, he hastily attempted to block and grab with his other hand, but at the moment, Pei Jinye’s sword was too fast.


    He dodged his neck, but his shoulder got struck by the sword, immediately cleaving open a gory sh, exposing the grim, stark white of his corbone.


    Before Pei Jinye could step forward and deliver a final blow with his sword.


    The figure of the white-haired old man converged in midair, hair flying wildly, his entire being cloaked in blood, appearing maniacal.


    “Be careful, that’s a Blood Spirit Body… As long as the blood doesn’t scatter, he won’t die,” Lin Xiawei’s voice came, swiftly moving in to block the domineering strike from the Gongsun Ancestor for Pei Jinye.<div>


    “Bang!”


    The blood fog exploded.


    The surrounding walls were riddled with holes.


    Lin Xiawei retreated to Pei Jinye’s side, “Still alright?”


    “Can fight.”


    “?” Lin Xiawei silently nced over, and the next second she was sted away from her spot.


    Pei Jinye’s sword shed fiercely.


    Note: You did not specify whether or not I should trante thest sentence. If I should include it, please feel free to provide feedback or edit the request to include it, and I will be happy toplete it.


    “Gongsun Long was once a Fifth Rank powerhouse, but now his Vitality has declined… He’s just a hair’s breadth away from falling to the Fourth Rank,” Lin Xiawei’s voice remained as calm as ever.


    “He’s still so fierce after falling to the Fourth Rank?” Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.


    In fact, what he cared about more was… if he devoured this old man, could the Gongsun Family’s secret martial arts still be hidden from him.


    However…


    “It seems a bit difficult, this old man feels even more formidable than Teacher Chang…”


    “We need to find a way to kill him,” Lin Xiawei suddenly said.


    Pei Jinye looked at her surprisingly, then averted his gaze, “I thought you, senior sister, did not take lives.”


    “Fifty years ago, the Knight Order once encountered a secret assassination in the Western Continent. One of the suspects… was a Blood Spirit Body. And this kind of secret technique, I’ve only encountered it for the second time in fifty years,” Lin Xiawei narrowed her eyes, “Am I right? Gongsun Long, among those who participated in the hunt against the Knight Order back then, you were there, weren’t you?”


    “So you’re from the Knight Order.” Gongsun Long hovered mid-air, below him numerous blood threads twisted and stretched out, as if he was a monster crawling out of a sea of blood.


    He neither admitted nor denied it.


    At his side, Gongsun Xuancang and Gongsun Xuantian supported the deathly pale Gongsun Xuanhai, the three brothers glowering as they subtly blocked the path for Pei Jinye and Lin Xiawei.


    “The world says that my Gongsun Family has declined, I don’t deny it,” Gongsun Long lowered his eyes as his aura gradually climbed, sweeping away the frailty of before.


    “But regardless, we’re not somewhere you cane and go as you please. Even if the Old Dragon King himself came today, you would not be leaving through the doors of my Gongsun Family’s residence.”


    “Is that so?”


    Lin Xiawei spoke indifferently, her five fingers closing into a fist.


    Electricity was born from the void.


    In the dim sky, it exploded like a bright bolt of lightning.


    Dazzled, the three Gongsun brothers instinctively shut their eyes.


    And in that instant, Pei Jinye, slyly stepping forward, charged out. The ground beneath him roared as a myriad of Wind Dragons let out sky-quaking roars, his figure like a silver meteor streaking across the sky, trailing scorching-hot air currents, shing horizontally at the four members of the Gongsun family with his sword!


    For a moment, it was breathtaking! Life and death were unpredictable!


    Gang mes rose to the skies.


    As Pei Jinye shed down with his sword, Lin Xiawei’s Sword Decides Life or Death, though releasedter, arrived sooner, the siblings’ sword intents seemingly merged into one.


    The expressions of the Gongsun Xuancang siblings drastically changed. In the years busy with the family’s development, they had naturally neglected quite a lot of their martial practice, pinning their hopes on the next generation… Yet, they did not expect to be thoroughly decimated by these two siblings, one after another.


    The three of them felt an oppressive constriction in the air around them, as if the gaseous air had turned into mercury, the stagnant state making it difficult to breathe.


    In an instant.


    A massive sword light descended.


    Below the thunderous rumble of the sea of blood, the figures of the Gongsun Xuancang brothers flew back without warning, yet it was as if they saw a figure within the sea of blood standing immovably, as if erected in an endless sea of blood.


    For a moment, it was as if aggrieved spirits were gathering, wailing mournfully.


    The ancestor snapped his finger downward.


    Sword light and blood light counteracted each other.


    The terrifying pressure from their merger erupted, and a mushroom-shaped cloud of air burst forth abruptly, then just as abruptly broke through the ceiling, shooting up a hundred meters into the clouds.


    Only after it soared into the sky did the tremendous roar follow, reaching their ears…


    Apanied by arge amount of cracked earth and stones on the ground, and numerous shrieking sounds that nearly pierced everyone’s eardrums.


    …


    Lin Xiawei’s sleeves were ripped halfway, revealing numerous cuts on her fair arm.


    She ignored the oozing blood.


    She just suddenly frowned.


    Where is my junior brother?


    Where is Gongsun Long?


    The conference building had already crumbled in the previous bombardment, leaving a thirty-meter-wide enormous crater on what had once been a delicate and luxurious corridor.


    And here, other than Lin Xiawei still standing, only the Gongsun brothers, who had failed to dodge in time and were sted away, remained.


    “Gongsun Long, are you seeking death!”


    Lin Xiawei the next second went crazy, starting to search for Pei Jinye’s whereabouts.


    …


    Escape!


    Pei Jinye used all his power and disappeared from the spot in an instant.


    In the fraction of a second just before, he suddenly realized the intense interest Gongsun Long had taken in him.


    Although he didn’t know what specific trait on his body had “exposed” him to draw the old man’s attention.


    But Pei Jinye didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment.


    Gongsun Long’s previous attack had been held back!


    His senior sister might not be a match!


    And Gongsun Long had clearly set his sights on him.


    Pei Jinye was very annoyed.


    Do all old guys like his type of fresh meat?


    Pei Jinye shot out at high speed.


    Gongsun Long was in hot pursuit behind him.


    The distance between the two was fifty meters, and it was still closing.


    Countless wind des exploded.


    Pei Jinye didn’t even know how far he had dodged; he had lost track of Lin Xiawei’s whereabouts long ago in his perception.


    The reason he chose to flee actually had another underlying cause!


    With outsiders present, it wasn’t convenient to unleash all his power.


    Although Lin Xiawei was very good to him, he still didn’t want to reveal the secrets he carried.


    His multi-system ability would trigger uncontroble fantasies.


    Under the covering dust, Gongsun Long’s Blood Spirit Body erupted again, expanding over a greater distance, intending to devour the fleeing Pei Jinye.


    Only Pei Jinye’s sh Escape allowed him to dodge with a hair’s breadth.


    The two individuals sprinted along the way.


    In the blink of an eye, it was like a blood-colored arc of light shed across the sky.


    …


    Pei Jinye sensed a mountain range ahead and swiftly burrowed into it.


    The moment he stepped in, he sensed something wrong with the ce.


    It was eerily silent, frighteningly so.


    Gongsun Long, with bloodshot eyes, also chased in without any hesitation.


    The next second.


    Pei Jinye ferociously shed out with his sword.


    This moment!


    Elements activated!


    Space Lock!


    Abyssal st!


    Wind de!


    Multiple Transcendent abilitiesunched simultaneously, and the space seemed to tear apart as countless attacks crazilynded on Gongsun Long’s body.


    “Take! This! Old! Man! Die!”
