Swipe! A figure burst out from the dust of the explosion, and Lu Yu locked eyes on the weakest of the three, applying the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step as he charged towards him.

Infinite Fast Fist!

2.7 times the attack speed, barely able to make the fists keep up with the displacement speed of the Ruler Step.

In an instant, the other two saw countless fist shadows engulfing their companion's figure. They wanted to attack Lu Yu, but feared harming their companion, as their mate lacked Lu Yu's powerful physique.

In that moment of hesitation, the battle was over, and the man's entire body had its bones shattered, internal organs smashed into pulp, turning him into a sack of blood sausage.

Bang~ The corpse dropped to the ground, blood and pulp leaking out from the torn sack.

Swipe~ Lu Yu's figure disappeared, leaving the two men looking at each other, lost, unable to even trace Lu Yu's trajectory.

Bang! The fourth man watched his companion suddenly vanish from beside him.

The body appeared more than thirty meters away, stopping only after crashing and breaking several black trees, the head slumped onto the body, clearly beyond saving.

Lu Yu had brutally rammed into him, sending him flying, with his chest and spine already broken and organs crushed out of the body by the violent force, stopping only after snapping five black trees.

The last man was filled with terror, disregarding any thoughts of the patriarch.

This person was simply a monster, with defense so impregnable that his attacks couldn't break through, and speed so freakish he couldn't even perceive Lu Yu's position.

Fear flooded his mind, and he frantically unleashed his spiritual power, forming a shield over 20 meters wide in hopes of blocking Lu Yu while he made a hasty escape into the distance.

Lu Yu used the Ruler Step, intending to employ the same trick to kill the last man.

Upon entering the spiritual shield's range, he felt a repulsive force slowing him down significantly, and after traversing the 20-meter area, Lu Yu's speed was reduced to normal movement pace.

Seeing Lu Yu appear behind him, the man hurriedly unleashed his strongest technique, a silver dragon with a blurred shape charging at Lu Yu.

Infinite Heavy Fist! Heaven Collapsing Style!

A portion of Qi Blood used with the Heaven Collapsing explosive technique propelled the Infinite Heavy Fist towards the silver dragon.

Boom! The silver dragon's body crumbled inch by inch, Lu Yu's fist pierced through the scattered silver aura, continuing unstopped towards the man's back.

Bang! Bang bang bang~ The man was struck in the back and sent flying, rolling over five or six times before finally stopping, and despite his injuries, he quickly got up to use his body technique to flee.

After a while, a blood-soaked corpse was thrown into the valley, Lu Yu flicked a piece of Celestial Falling Bright Flame, which landed on the unprotected corpse and burned it to ashes.

The remaining three bodies were disposed of in the same manner, though Lu Yu did loot all their belongings.

Since they belonged to a family in the Qi realm, more affluent than that Qi realm in Luoyan Valley, Lu Yu found more than a thousand Spirit Stones in their storage bags, enough for short-term cultivation.

Approaching the patriarch of the Liang family, Lu Yu took out the Demon-Breaking Saber, ready to open his chest and replace the heart.

Replacing one still alive, if it was someone unrelated to Lu Yu from the Qi Sea realm, he might hesitate, but with the Liang patriarch, Lu Yu felt no hesitation or guilt.

Shing! The patriarch's eyes suddenly snapped open, glaring at Lu Yu, filled with murderous intent, Lu Yu could even feel a prickling sensation on his skin.

With difficulty, the patriarch cleared the chill from his face and throat, regaining a bit of strength in his facial muscles and throat as he sharply said, "Boy, you dare!"

Lu Yu smiled, "Guess if I dare or not?"

Schlick~ The Demon-Breaking Saber, infused with spiritual power, stabbed into the patriarch's chest, slicing it open as Lu Yu snapped three ribs, revealing the heart inside.

Frozen stiff, the patriarch felt nothing as Lu Yu performed these actions, showing no change in complexion, merely the rage in his eyes indicating he was not as indifferent as he appeared.

Removing the patriarch's heart, not a drop of blood flowed out, all his blood had long been frozen solid.

Lu Yu produced the demon general's heart, glancing at the patriarch, he hadn't died even after losing his heart.

Considering he'd survived so long in the cold pool, not dying from losing the heart was also seemingly normal, but it didn't matter.

Lu Yu sliced open his finger, squeezed out a perfectly round and cohesive drop of blood, letting it fall onto the heart as the demon general's heart greedily absorbed Lu Yu's blood.

The mercurial drop of blood caused the heart some indigestion, taking over ten seconds for the heart to fully absorb the blood bead.

Lu Yu established a mental link with the heart.

After placing the demon general's heart into the patriarch's chest, it pulsed violently as black streaks spread from the chest towards the limbs and head.

The anger in the patriarch's eyes didn't last long before his consciousness was eroded by demonic qi, his eyes growing dull as death.

When the heart eroded the body during demonic transformation, it could potentially backlash against the master, but considering the patriarch's current state, such backlash seemed unlikely.

It was uncertain when he'd regain mobility, let alone pose a threat to Lu Yu.
