As they spoke, Blood Eagle raised his longsword and strode towards Luo Cheng, his body radiating an intense killing intent.
"Wait!"
Luo Cheng’s expression remained unchanged as he lifted a hand to stop him.
"Oh? Any last words? Speak quickly."
Blood Eagle showed no urgency to make a move.
For him, a re Tongxuan Realm martial artist, no matter how skilled, remained insignificant.
He wasn’t at all worried about any tricks Luo Cheng might play.
Luo Cheng spoke solemnly, "You want to kill —it’s nothing more than greed for wealth. I can offer you treasures of my own. How about sparing ?"
After all, the opponent was a Middle Stage Awakening Vein Realm expert.
If he could avoid it, Luo Cheng didn’t want to stake his life. It would be far better to pay to resolve the danger!
In the future, there would be opportunities to make his adversary repay this tenfold, a hundredfold!
"Spare you?"
Blood Eagle sneered disdainfully, "Kid, don’t take this the wrong way. You’re just a re Tongxuan Realm martial artist. What wealth could you possibly have? I am no beggar to be satisfied with re scraps."
Luo Cheng replied, "I have five thousand Essence Energy Pills on —that’s fifty million taels! Additionally, I possess two ridian Opening Pills!"
"Five thousand Essence Energy Pills... What! And two ridian Opening Pills!"
Even the ntion of five thousand Essence Energy Pills left Blood Eagle greatly astonished.
Bear in mind, he and his brother had road the martial world for years, plundering and looting. Subtracting the cost of cultivation, their accumulated wealth amounted to only several tens of millions of taels.
What realm was Luo Cheng even in?
And beyond that, he sohow still possessed two ridian Opening Pills!
The ridian Opening Pill could significantly increase the chance for a Tongxuan Realm martial artist to advance to the Awakening Vein Realm.
For an Awakening Vein Realm martial artist, it could also accelerate cultivation progress!
Each ridian Opening Pill was worth at least ten to twenty million taels, and they were often priceless, highly coveted even by Awakening Vein Realm experts.
These were treasures reserved only for prominent forces and major sects.
Blood Eagle, despite venturing in the martial world for years, had only once stumbled upon a ridian Opening Pill by sheer luck. And it was this pill that enabled him to advance to the Middle Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm—a mory he held dear to this day.
But now, Luo Cheng had two of them!
Blood Eagle stared at Luo Cheng, his eyes gleaming sharply with cautious disbelief. "You have two ridian Opening Pills? Take them out and let see! If you dare lie to , I’ll show you the consequences!"
"Rest assured, Senior, I wouldn’t gamble with my own life."
Luo Cheng swiped a finger across his left hand and produced a jade box, flicking it towards him.
This ridian Opening Pill had been a gift from the Eldest Prince, Jin Tiandu!
Pa!
Blood Eagle couldn’t wait a second, snatching up the jade box.
When he opened it, a wave of dense dark-green aura imdiately wafted out.
Inside the box lay a spirit pill the size of a fingertip, dark-green and radiant.
The elixir glead like an erald pearl, translucent and glowing, its surface exuding a halo of dazzling green light akin to the glint of wheat chaff.
Upon seeing the elixir, Blood Eagle eagerly brought it to his nose, taking a deep sniff before breaking into a delighted grin:
"No doubt about it! This is indeed a ridian Opening Pill! Where is the other one?"
A glint flickered in Luo Cheng’s gaze as he retrieved a jade bottle gifted to him by Yun ngli.
Swish!
With a beckoning gesture, Blood Eagle snatched the jade bottle out of the air, pouring out another pill.
Sure enough, within the jade bottle lay another ridian Opening Pill!
The aroma released by these two pills was overwhelmingly potent—just inhaling it could make one’s Essence Energy boil and Spirit surge.
"Haha, excellent! Truly excellent!"
Blood Eagle bead as he stored the two ridian Opening Pills.
With these two pills, he could elevate his cultivation by an entire level!
Luo Cheng then retrieved several Storage Spirit Rings. "The five thousand Essence Energy Pills are inside! Senior, may I leave now?"
"Leave?"
Blood Eagle’s gaze sharpened as he smiled sinisterly. "Kid, you’ve truly surprised ! In return, I’ll let you choose a painless way to die!"
Luo Cheng’s expression shifted dramatically, retreating several steps. "You’re breaking your word!"
Blood Eagle’s face darkened as he sneered. "When did I promise you anything? Killing you makes all this mine by default!"
"Besides, Sun Yingyang paid a high price for your life—ten thousand Essence Energy Pills and a Six-star Technique! If you want to buy your life with this, I’m afraid it’s far from enough!"
Luo Cheng’s face turned grim.
He never expected Sun Yingyang to be so generous in his efforts to kill him!
"Hurry and choose: will you take your own life, or will I do it for you?"
Blood Eagle spoke slowly, his gaze predatory like a wolf eyeing its prey.
"Take my own life? Soon enough, I’ll make you regret this!"
Internally, Luo Cheng sneered coldly, but outwardly, he feigned anxiety, his expression conflicted before finally appearing as if he’d made up his mind. He spoke:
"Senior, if you promise not to kill , I can also share a great secret with you."
"Oh? What secret? If it’s valuable, I might reconsider sparing you."
Seeing Luo Cheng’s apparent desperation intrigued Blood Eagle imnsely.
A re Tongxuan Realm martial artist who could casually produce five thousand Essence Energy Pills and two ridian Opening Pills was already highly unusual.
Luo Cheng continued, "I assu Senior has noticed—I awakened a Wasted Martial Soul. Yet my strength rivals that of a Second Layer Awakening Vein expert, and I even possess double Dragon Power."
"Double Dragon Power? How is that possible!"
Blood Eagle’s shock was evident—he simply couldn’t believe it.
Double Dragon Power?
Aside from Cross Training Martial Artists, even typical Third Layer Awakening Vein experts could barely achieve such physical power.
And Luo Cheng, what realm was he even in?
Luo Cheng said nothing more but directly threw a punch at Blood Eagle.
Boom!
A small three-legged cauldron materialized on his fist, overwhelming and aggressive, radiating terrifying explosive force.
Blood Eagle’s gaze narrowed as he activated his Protective Essence Energy.

Bang!
The air erupted as Blood Eagle underestimated the punch’s might. He was blasted back over a hundred ters, his Protective Essence Energy left visibly dented.
If he hadn’t mustered all his power at the last mont to sustain it, his shield of Essence Energy might have been completely shattered by that punch!
Huff!
Exhaling a deep breath, Blood Eagle’s blood surged with excitent, his eyes ablaze:
"Such physical strength has already exceeded double Dragon Power! No wonder during the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, you could easily defeat Hua Jingyang and dominate all opponents! You’re only at the Tongxuan Realm, and you awakened a Wasted Martial Soul—how did you accomplish this?"
Luo Cheng, well-prepared, calmly replied, "Two years ago, I accidentally stumbled into a mountain cave. Inside was a stone chamber. Besides a large reserve of elixirs, there was also a cultivation technique and a map."
"The cultivation technique was called the True Dragon Technique. It allowed one to cultivate to the Golden Body Realm and achieve double Dragon Power even at the Tongxuan Realm, laying the foundation for Supre Martial Arts!"
"Because of this, I’ve achieved what I am today."
Blood Eagle listened, his heart ablaze with longing.
If this technique could allow even soone with a Wasted Martial Soul to reach the Golden Body Realm and gain double Dragon Power at the Tongxuan Realm...
What an extraordinary, heaven-defying cultivation technique!
That cave must have been the dwelling of so unparalleled expert!
Blood Eagle had wandered the martial world for years, hearing countless tales of diocrities stumbling upon the dwellings of great experts, gaining legendary inheritances, divine arts, and spirit pills, and subsequently dominating entire regions!
Today, it seed he had encountered such an opportunity!
"Where are the cultivation technique and the map?"
Blood Eagle was too excited to contain himself, his entire body practically burning with enthusiasm.
Luo Cheng replied, "The cultivation technique self-destructed upon my initial use, leaving only the map."
"Oh? Self-destructed! It must indeed have been a secret inheritance technique!"
Blood Eagle’s eyes glittered sharply as he believed the story almost entirely. Stretching out his hand, he demanded:
"Let see the map!"
Luo Cheng swiped a finger across his hand, producing a folded beast-skin map.
This was a map he had obtained after slaying the Lin brothers—completely indecipherable, so he’d just kept it without much thought.
Now, it seed it had found its purpose!
"Please take a look, Senior!"
Luo Cheng handed the map to Blood Eagle.
Blood Eagle eagerly grabbed it.
The map was weathered and dusty.
Blood Eagle blew hard, scattering the dust, and studied it carefully.
The map seed made of so strange material, depicting a crescent-shaped peak, stars across the skies, a route, and several red markers.
"Hah, this resembles the Crescent Moon Peak of the Great Li Dynasty!"
Blood Eagle’s eyes sparkled with excitent:
"Could Crescent Moon Peak hold a treasure? Or an inheritance site!"
As he focused intently on the map, Blood Eagle suddenly caught a tallic tang of blood at his nose’s tip. Wiping his nose, he noticed blood on his hand.
Finding no peculiar symptoms in his body, he paid it no mind, rely attributing it to his extre excitent.
Could he be anything but thrilled?
The map might very well lead to untold treasure! Perhaps a hidden trove left behind by an unparalleled expert!
If everything went as expected, those red markers were likely where the treasures were hidden.
With extre caution, Blood Eagle carefully rolled the map back up. He raised his gaze towards Luo Cheng, an insidious grin forming:
"Kid, you’ve given an incredible surprise. You could say you’re my destined benefactor! By all ans, I should let you go... But alas, the fewer who know this secret, the better!"
"Only the dead can keep secrets!"
Blood Eagle’s eyes were ablaze with killing intent.
No matter how slim the chance...
He wasn’t willing to let even a whisper of this matter leak! Not even to his own brother!
Luo Cheng watched as Blood Eagle closed in step by step, retreating further, the corners of his lips curling into a sudden smile:
"I’m sorry, but today, I’m afraid I won’t be dying!"
