The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes. Fu Chen managed to cut through his attack but he didn’t understand one thing. Why is this attack still on?

The sakura leaves spun faster as a slight change occurred in his sword. Fu Chen closed his eyes and asked ‘Ysla, I felt like I have achieved something new with my sword but I can’t understand what it is. What do you think I should do?’

“Host, if you have something you don’t understand then use the system,” Ysla suggested without any hesitation.

Fu Chen was left stunned for a moment. Then, a smile appeared on his lips.

Yeah! He has already determined his heart to use the system. Was it because his talent increased that he forgot to use the system?

[Would you like to understand the True Meaning of Thirteen Lonely Blooming Peach Sword Art?]

[Yes] [No]

Fu Chen didn’t hesitate to press yes.

[100 Skill Points have been deducted]

Suddenly, his consciousness entered a strange state. There was nothing but a pure land in front of him. This land was covered with sakura leaves. But, when he looked forward, he saw each sakura leaf was actually covering something.

Fu Chen frowned and crouched down. His finger touched the sakura leaf and suddenly, he felt like his finger entered the pond. When he lifted his hand, he found the blood dripping from the finger.

It wasn’t his blood. He turned around and saw the sakura leaves everywhere but they were hiding something. He was also standing on the sakura leaves and beneath him was the pond.

But, it wasn’t a normal pond. It was a pond of blood. The entire surrounding was the pond of blood and these sakura leaves were there to cover the pond of blood.

Suddenly, he felt his mind being crushed as a few words rang in his mind.

[Pellet of sakura, filled with innocence and softness. It brightened the world and make people feel relaxed. But, a long time ago, a man sitting under the sakura tree found his skin being pierced by the leaf of that tree.]

[He was stunned. The sakura leaf which they know as the representation of innocence and softness actually got covered with blood. The man was sick, his eyes were almost dry and he has a little breath to live.]

[But, this incident made him realize that even the purest form of peace can be covered with blood. He realized that everything in this world can be covered with blood.]

[In his dying minute, he realized a new form of power.]

[Killing Swordsmanship]

[The purity of the sakura leaves is the show for the world but only those who can see the true meaning of these leaves will ever get killing swordsmanship. One sword is out, hundreds of leaves flew, thousands of bodies fell, prove Dao by killing yourself.]

Outside his consciousness, the speed of sakura leaves was increasing violently. The pink leaf was slowly changing its color. It was turning scarlet, filled with nothing but violence.

The middle-aged man frowned and immediately covered his body with true essence. Chu Yan and Wu Kong retreated as well. The middle-aged man tried to deduce the situation but before long, his eyes shrunk.

“Damn it!”

He instantly turned around and left without even looking back. He understood that Fu Chen had comprehended something and now he is not Fu Chen’s opponent.

But, suddenly, a sword slashed out of the tornado of scarlet leaves, followed by a body. Ultimate Red Beast Armor and Thunder Aura covered his body. At this moment, he looked absolutely horrible.

A strangle horrible and bloody aura rose from him. His sword suddenly shone under the sunlight and a red flash appeared around the sword.

“One Sword”

Whoosh! Splash!

“One Fold!”

Fu Chen reached in front of the man while his sword had already sliced his head. The body and head fell to the ground while at the same time, the armor suddenly burst.

Bang!

“Argh!” Fu Chen screamed in pain for a moment. But, this time, he didn’t suffer a lot. He only bleeds from his mouth. He put his hand on his knees and started panting.

“Chen!” Wu Kong dashed towards Fu Chen.

On another side, the female trembled. She turned around with her trembling body and dashed away. The middle-aged man died in front of her. How could she have the courage to even stay?

But, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. It was none other than Chu Yan. He didn’t waste his time. He raised his fiery claws and slashed at the female. Suddenly, her robe activated and her body got teleported away.

But, as soon as she got teleported, a powerful stream of flames into her.

Boom!

Upon collision, the flames exploded and she was thrown away with burnt skin. Chu Yan walked towards her but his eyes narrowed a little.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, red energy flowed into his head and formed a seal in his head. Seeing this, his eyes shrunk but he didn’t care. He raised his claw and sliced her neck.

Splash!

Blood spurted from her neck. Chu Yan grabbed a ring on her finger and went to the middle-aged man. He also grabbed the same king of the ring from her. He also took their robes. Chu Yan turned around and walked toward Fu Chen.

“You didn’t need to use that attack against him.” Although Fu Chen wasn’t as miserable as before, he was still bleeding.

Fu Chen shook his head and slowly controlled his breath. His horrible bloody aura was still covering him and Wu Kong was unable to touch him because of that.

“What kind of bloody aura is this?” Chu Yan asked while looking solemn.

Fu Chen couldn’t reply. He closed his eyes and slowly started recovering. Chu Yan didn’t disturb him and looked at Wu Kong.

“Help me with something!”

“What?” Wu Kong asked with confusion.

Chu Yan took out two rings and showed them to Wu Kong.

“Normally, these kinds of rings have a qi lock. Now, they are dead, we can’t use their Qi. So, use your blood.”

“Are you sure? Normally, we don’t need to use the stronger blood to open the Spatial Ring of a dead person.” Wu Kong looked at him with confusion and asked.

Chu Yan nodded his head and said “I know but I have already tried it. They have used Two-Steps Restriction System. Once they died, the first step is already complete but for the second step, we need the blood of someone who can devour their blood.”

“Alright!” Wu Kong nodded his head and bite his finger. He dropped his blood on both rings. The next moment, a powerful aura rose from those rings.

Chu Yan instantly threw them on the ground and let the aura burst. There was no spiritual image or anything but the aura alone was strong. When this aura was activated, another blood also got activated.

This drop of blood instantly devoured all of that aura, including the drop of blood stored in it.

Chu Yan looked at Wu Kong and said “As I suspected. This Heavenly Demon Sect has inherited the blood of the Devil. And, every disciple of this sect should have these spatial rings.”

“The blood in these spatial rings will prevent anyone from learning about the Heavenly Demon Sect.”

Wu Kong suddenly got confused so he asked.

“From what we have seen, they are not the strongest force. And, since they are a demon sect, they are trying to hide from the world. So, why would they go around, killing the people who kill their members? Wouldn’t this make it easier for other people to trace them?”

Chu Yan shook his head and said “A normal person would come to the same conclusion as you but they are using their brain here. Do you really think the cultivation techniques and martial arts of Demon Sect would be normal?”

“And, if it is a high-level member of the demon sect, he might even have much-hidden information about the demon sect. That’s why whenever they die, they leave these imprints on our body.”

“First, it is really hard to crack the second step of the Two-Steps Restriction System. Second, if the people of the demon sect can kill the person who killed their member before he could share the information about the demon sect with others, then the problem is solved.”

“And, do you remember our encounter with the first person of the Heavenly Demon Sect? He didn’t mention this sect even a little. That means these people won’t reveal themselves unless the person has this mark.”

Wu Kong’s eyes widened as he understood the reason behind it.

“And, just as I suspected, look!” Chu Yan took out a small token from their Spatial Ring.

“If I use this token, I should be able to find the headquarters of Heavenly Demon Sect. Do you think they will let anyone live especially when they have this token?”

“This is the strategy of Heavenly Demon Sect. Kill the killer before he can respond. If I am not wrong, then the Heavenly Demon Sect people are scattered throughout the Blue Star Kingdom, especially in Royal Capital.”

“That means if we go to the Royal Capital, we would be spotted in less than an hour. The closer the killer is to your enemy, the faster you have to kill him.”
