One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Su Heng’s large hand grasped his throat and lifted him into the air, scrutinizing the bloodied and smeared face.

"Your dying struggles look exactly like your mother’s,"

A sinister smile appeared on Su Heng’s lips as his five fingers slowly exerted more pressure. Xu Hanlin’s eyes turned blood red with hatred as he reached out with both hands attempting to gouge Su Heng’s eyes. Regrettably, the difference in their statures meant that Xu Hanlin’s reach fell vastly short, and he could only wave his arms futilely in the air.

"Trash." Su Heng’s palm tightened, his expression turning indifferent, "Dying by my hand is an honor for you."

Crack!

Xu Hanlin’s arms fell powerlessly, and his body slumped.

As Su Heng’s fingers released, Xu Hanlin’s body flopped to the ground.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Heng’s gaze lingered briefly on Xu Hanlin’s body before retracting it.

Opening the property panel, unbeknownst to him, the completion of the Domineering Dragon Thirteen Forms Secret Method had reached eighty-five percent.

However, all in all, it was still an acceptable loss.

Just a few days of cultivation, topped with the prior consumption of the Black Fiend Bodhisattva, had raised Su Heng’s attribute points from the initial thirty-seven hundred to nearly five thousand. Judging by the current situation, he had more than enough to fully deduce the Domineering Dragon Secret Method.

Su Heng slowly turned around, planning to return to the highest peak to sit cross-legged and continue pondering the marks left by the True Dominating Dragon.

But just at that moment...

A verdant glow suddenly emerged behind him.

Xu Hanlin, whose neck had been snapped and was as dead as one could be, inexplicably staggered to his feet.

Su Heng sensed something was amiss.

His eyes narrowed.

He did not look at Xu Hanlin, who had returned from the dead, but turned his gaze to another spot.

To his left, atop a towering peak hundreds of meters high, stood a delicate-looking, cold-tempered girl in black. Her pupils shone with a verdant halo, and behind her loomed an enormous, ancient aura-filled Bodhisattva figure blocking the sky. Ṛ

This figure resembled a Bodhisattva, holding a treasure vase in its left hand, with three willow branches inserted into the jade vase, and forming the Three Realms Seal with its right hand, dressed in treasured Buddha garments. Seated in a full lotus position on a lotus pedestal, it was enveloped by a verdant Buddhist aura. Wherever the Buddha’s light touched, harmony ensued. Even in the barren, scorched earth of the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm beneath it, green grass and white flowers sprouted, making it bloom vibrantly like a paradise.

The verdant light enveloping Xu Hanlin was emanating from the treasure vase in the Bodhisattva’s hand.

It seemed that the vase possessed divine skills capable of resurrecting the dead and bringing bones back to life.

Xu Hanlin had his neck snapped by Su Heng, and his organs had been mostly destroyed in the previous fight, yet under the enveloping verdant light, he was now standing again with his aura back at its peak, as if he had not been wounded at all.

Seeing this, Su Heng’s eyebrows knitted slightly, and his expression grew more solemn.

His gaze moved from the Bodhisattva to settle on the girl in black standing on the peak, and after a brief pause, Su Heng realized he recognized the girl.

"Xie Xianyu..." Su Heng exhaled softly, smiling as he spoke, "You are the disciple adopted by Xie Linyuan."

"How do you know?" Xie Xianyu seemed somewhat surprised, her clear eyes squinting.

"I have devoured Xie Linyuan’s memories," Su Heng replied, "Everything he has experienced, I know, including over a hundred years ago when Xie Linyuan exterminated your family."

Xie Xianyu’s expression darkened, and her smooth forehead wrinkled with frowning. Thunder roared, and the pale lightning illuminating the girl’s face revealed the murderous intent she harbored.

"Xie Linyuan indeed raised a good dog."

Su Heng let out a cold laugh.

He was completely unfazed by the murderous aura emanating from Xie Xianyu.

It was the Bodhisattva figure behind Xie Xianyu that subtly hinted at a threat to Su Heng.

"And you, come out as well, there’s no need to keep hiding," Su Heng’s brows furrowed slightly, his piercing gaze shifting from Xie Xianyu to another location.

There was supposed to be an empty space.

Yet, as Su Heng’s eyes settled, a "boom" sounded with a dull thud.

A burly figure stepped out from amidst black flames, his stature as imposing as Su Heng’s at that moment. His muscles were well-defined and robust, albeit not as ferocious-looking as Su Heng’s.

What was even more astonishing was that...

The man’s body was entirely black, with ancient Sanskrit words inscribed in gold.

Among the three persons from the Eternal Heaven gathered around Su Heng, his aura was the strongest and most blazing, presenting a potent threat to Su Heng.

Su Heng looked down.

He glanced at the mark on his arm.

The mark first shone brightly with gold light, then dimmed and disappeared.

Su Heng instantly understood, "What relation do you have with Zen Master Dingguang?" His voice traversed the storm, drifting over leisurely.

"Hundred Buddha Temple, Great Black Secret King," the robust figure replied with a sneer, "Dingguang is my disciple. I have said before, anyone who kills my men will pay the price, no matter where you hide."

"Whether I’ll pay the price will depend on whether you have the ability," Su Heng said with a loud laugh.

The three of them positioned themselves strategically, surrounding Su Heng in the center.

Yet Su Heng’s face bore no trace of fear, rather, it was filled with excitement.

"All three of you attack together. My time is limited; I don’t wish to waste it any further here," Su Heng spoke calmly, his blood-red pupils conveying an arrogance, as if looking down upon everything. Each person there could be considered a powerhouse in their own right, yet Su Heng treated them as if they were nothing more than common fowl and dogs, having absolutely no regard for them.
