This was a Magic not found in the *Blood Refining Divine Technique* manual, and it was the Eastern Wanderer’s ultimate trump card.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen calmly gestured with his hand.

The Fringed Tassel Brocade Handkerchief flew out on its own, positioning itself in front of him.

When the Eastern Wanderer saw Xiao Chen produce another Top Grade Magical Artifact, he was first shocked, then delighted.

He hurriedly channeled all his power into the Blood Sacrifice Secret Technique. The Soul-breaking Needle erupted in a brilliant crimson light and, like a phantom, passed straight through the brocade handkerchief, stabbing toward Xiao Chen’s forehead.

Similar to the Soul-Chasing Shuttle, it was designed specifically to counter Protective Spiritual Light.

This Soul-breaking Needle was created for the very purpose of bypassing the Magical Artifacts of Orthodox Cultivators.

Under the Eastern Wanderer’s expectant gaze, the Golden Armor that had just finished forming around Xiao Chen was instantly pierced.

TING!

The inch-long Soul-breaking Needle struck Xiao Chen’s forehead, yet it made the sound of metal hitting stone, as if it had struck not flesh and blood, but a hard Gemstone.

"What?"

The Eastern Wanderer couldn’t believe his eyes. "You’re a Body Cultivator?" he asked in disbelief.

Xiao Chen reached up with his right hand, firmly pinching the Soul-breaking Needle between his index and middle fingers. "An interesting little toy."

"Mr. Dongfang, that’s not very sporting of you. Holding back when you were teaching me, were you?"

The Eastern Wanderer glanced up at the Golden Light Pearl and Jade Ruyi hovering in mid-air.

With those two Top Grade Magical Artifacts present, he couldn’t use Blood Escape at all.

"Good, good. Xiao Chen, right? I’ll remember you."

After spitting out the threat, the Eastern Wanderer suddenly whipped a Talisman from his robes and roared, "Nine Heavens Blood Transformation, escape!"

Instantly, the Talisman in his hand burst into a large cloud of blood.

At the same time, his entire body dissolved into a pool of blood, merging with it.

His Magic Robe and Storage Bag, no longer supported, dropped to the ground.

But he had no time to worry about those things; the blood immediately split into four streams and shot toward the cave entrance.

From the outside, these four streams of Tunneling Light looked utterly identical. It was impossible to tell which one contained his true self.

"Friend, please stay a moment."

With a mere thought, Xiao Chen sent the Golden Light Pearl and Jade Ruyi in the air smashing down toward the two streams of Tunneling Light on the right.

At the same time, he slapped his Storage Bag. The Golden Melon Thunder Hammer flew out, and in an instant, two massive hammer phantoms crashed down.

Though launched second, the hammer phantoms arrived first, striking the two streams of Tunneling Light on the left.

The Eastern Wanderer was hidden in one of the left-hand streams. Struck by a phantom hammer, he let out a blood-curdling scream and fell to the ground.

But perhaps because the Golden Melon Thunder Hammer had split its attack, he was left barely clinging to life.

Seeing Xiao Chen approaching, carrying the pair of massive hammers, the Eastern Wanderer struggled, wanting to beg for mercy. But every bone and sinew in his body was broken; only his eyes could still move.

"Why did you have to make it so difficult for yourself?"

Xiao Chen walked over and looked down at his miserable state. "I told you before, I could have given you a quick death."

"But you just wouldn’t listen to my advice, so I guess I’ll have to try another way."

As he spoke, he cast a Water Therapy Skill, protecting the man’s vital organs.

The Eastern Wanderer was stunned for a moment, unsure what was happening.

Then, he saw Xiao Chen pull out the *Blood Refining Divine Technique* manual and flip to the page describing the Blood Collection Technique.

He instantly realized what Xiao Chen intended to do. His eyes shot wide, and he began to blink frantically.

"Sigh, no need to get so excited."

Xiao Chen said soothingly, "You’ve used the Blood Collection Technique on plenty of other Cultivators. All those people in Zhu County... you drained every one of them of their blood."

"Today, I’m going to let you enjoy that very same feeling."
