Su Yen arrival... Qi Refinement

The intense luminosity coalesced into a fearsome form – a colossal sword, forged from the very essence of the cosmos.

It blazed with incandescent brilliance; its edges razor-sharp and gleaming with an otherworldly luster.

With a resounding boom that echoed through the land, the starlight sword strike crashed down upon the ranks of the Li soldiers like an unstoppable force of nature.

Additionally, the earth quaked beneath its divine power, and a shockwave rippled through the air, sending shivers down the spines of those unfortunate enough to witness its might.

The impact was cataclysmic.

Even the ground trembled as if protesting the intrusion of such unparalleled power, and a blinding eruption of light engulfed the battlefield.

For a brief, breathless moment, the world itself seemed to hold its breath in awe.

On the city wall, all the onlookers and the Su clans had their jaws dropped with wide mouths.

No one had ever seen such a devastating attack in their lives.

It was like a wrath from God.

"H-how...." Li Wei's muffled voice woke the people from their stupor, and they realized the shockwaves had disappeared.

Watching the devastating effect of the attack, everyone on the wall had their backs drenched in cold sweat.

If this attack were sent toward the city, what would be the effect?

Thinking of this, they exchanged glances with fear evident on their faces, praying this was not an enemy.

The once proud and intimidating Li soldiers were turned into pools of blood.

Various body parts were scattered around, and some who were lucky enough to survive the attack had parts of their bodies missing.

Arms lost. Legs lost. Ghastly cuts appeared on some soldiers' chests, revealing their innards with blood gushing out like a broken dam.

"W-Why..." Li Wei screamed once again, on the brink of madness.

Li Wei looked into the distance with unwillingness and bitterness in his heart.

'This kind of power....It shouldn't have appeared in the barren land.'

'Is it possible the Su clan had a hidden expert who survived the onslaught of the Bloodmoon envoys the last time?'

Various thoughts ran through his mind, but he couldn't come up with an appropriate answer.

Looking at his men crying in agony, fury and fear etched on his face,

As he was thinking about what to do next, he heard a voice.

"Who gave you the guts to attack my clan?" The voice was bone-chilling, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

A white silhouette appeared, looking otherworldly and untainted by worldly aura.

Watching the arrival of the otherworldly person full of nobility, no one could avert their gaze from his face.

"B-Brother..." Su Lan asked with a trembling voice, happiness, and shock evident on her face.

Seeing this, the Su clan's fear turned into happiness as they saw their clan master arrive with such a domineering power.

Whoosh!

Just then, Su Yen, who was hundreds of meters away from the battlefield, appeared in front of Li Wei with deadly cold eyes.

Watching Su Yen's deadly cold eyes, Li Wei retreated drastically, with deep shock written all over his face.

'H-How....Impossible!' He screamed in his heart.

Of all the possibilities in his mind, he never once thought that Su Yen, who was only twenty years old, could possess such terrifying power.

Ah!

A miserable cry escaped from Li Wei as a powerful force descended on his body, forcing him to fall to his knees.

Watching the scene, everyone sucked in a cold breath. No one dared to make a sound.

Step by step, Su Yen approached Li Wei slowly. But to him, it was like a huge mountain was pressing down on his body each time Su Yen took a step closer.

Crack! Crack!

Li Wei's bones cracked, blood gushing continuously.

That wasn't all.

His skin was mutilated under the heavy pressure, falling from his bones, revealing his bare bones.

Watching the inhuman scene, everyone was scared silly. Even the Su clan was terrified.

This was the first time they had seen the fury of their normally lazy clan master.

"I-f..If...you...kill me....you are going to...be the enemy...of the Li clan..." Li Wei said with so much difficulty, but he didn't beg for his life.

"You can kill me...but the Li will avenge me..."

Looking at the tortured Li Wei, Su Yen was too lazy to engage in any conversation with him and waved his hand.

Bang!

A sword emerged from his hand and decimated Li Wei into smithereens, leaving no parts behind.

Looking at those Li soldiers crying in agony with fear etched on their faces,

Su Yen didn't waste his time and killed them with a wave of his hand.

[Ding!]

[Karmic effect has opened]

[You've bound with a Karmic thread with the Li Clan]

[Karma: Li Clan (1000/2500)]

[Note: When the Karma is full, you have to face the Karmic tribulation.]

Looking at the notification, Su Yen was shocked for a moment before he regained his calmness.

He had long accepted his quirky system and would go along with everything it threw at him.

"Karma. Tribulation, huh!" He whispered, but then a thought appeared in his mind.

''System, how can I destroy the karmic thread?" he asked, not expecting any response from the system.

[Ding!]

[You can only destroy the karmic thread by destroying the person or group you have a karmic tie with.]

[Note: You must destroy the thread without causing additional karmic thread effects to ripple.]

[Advice: Destroy the karmic thread slowly, and when the bound reaches zero, you can destroy the karmic bond without worrying about the effects]

'What!' Su Yen's jaw dropped slightly. He couldn't believe his system would respond.

He shook his head, unable to fathom how the quirky system worked.

Nevertheless, he still appreciated the system's advice.

'Now, what I need to do is to slowly kill the Li clan.'

Meanwhile, on the city wall, Su Yen's short display of strength had yet to leave the hearts of some people.

"E-Elder..." Su Lan looked at the shocked Elder Su Feng and asked.

"My brother is in what realm?" She asked, not wanting to believe the thought that was burning in her heart.

Coming out of his stunned state, Elder Su Feng turned and looked at Su Lan with a bittersweet smile.

"H-He should be above the Body Building realm..." He paused before he added.

"T-The Qi Refinement."
