Chapter 837 - 840: Death by a Thousand Cuts

Array Master, creating formation patterns for others.

Alchemist, concocting potions for others!

Blood Refiner, naturally refining blood for others.

However, the Blood Refiners Guild is now renowned in the Three Realms, yet has never refined blood for anyone,

which somewhat makes its reputation unearned, like false advertising.

For Wu Tian, this is nothing. After all, his ambitions are grand.

But for Bo Gu and Meng Tian, who intend to make Blood Refining their lifelong career, they cannot ignore this.

"Alright, I agree with you." Wu Tian nodded, knowing he would not stay long in the Three Realms,

The Blood Refiners Guild,

is currently limited to the Three Realms,

Want to expand beyond?

That will take some time.

Every guild grows slowly, over time. There’s never been a new guild for any profession that immediately takes root worldwide.

"Actually, when I’m not around, you can open the doors and do business as blood refiners," Wu Tian said,

Blood refinement can enhance a person’s aptitude.

Of course, to refine extraordinary bloodlines, one’s ancestors must have such bloodlines.

Blood refinement is evolution, not creating something from nothing!

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Wu Tian’s response delighted Bo Gu and Meng Tian.

The two swore silently in their hearts, from this life forward, they would obey Wu Tian’s orders, even unto death.

Their dignity as blood refiners is granted by Wu Tian,

Their future, vast, is also owed to Wu Tian,

It can be said that Wu Tian has bestowed upon them a door, beyond which lies a new world.

His kindness is as great as if they were reborn.

"Alright, I’ll be leaving now. As for the people outside the courtyard, haha, handle them as you see fit." Wu Tian waved,

None of those outside the courtyard are listed on the Investiture of the Gods; Wu Tian is not one to help others for free.

"Yes." Bo Gu and Meng Tian nodded.

Wu Tian departed.

He exited through the back door,

and in a small alley, he encountered Old Yellowhide and the Pangolin.

Originally, these two were arguing,

"Grandfather, you betrayed my feelings. Tell me, how will you compensate me?"

"This... I was careless."

Just as the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, wearing a bronze mask, leapt out at that moment, he overheard their conversation,

Indeed, that particular exchange really could lead one to wild thoughts,

Old Yellowhide and the Pangolin were startled, but upon seeing clearly, they were overjoyed.

They dared not linger at the main entrance, but they were reluctant to leave, so they waited at the back door. Unexpectedly, they actually met the Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

Old Yellowhide rushed forward, impolitely asking, "Ancestor of Blood Refinement, please tell me, how can I kill Wu Tian?"

The Pangolin snorted, not expecting his grandfather to speak first.

Wu Tian, wearing a bronze mask, did not expect Old Yellowhide to truly court death,

He didn’t respond for a long time, his eyes gazing at the sky.

Old Yellowhide was anxious, finally awaiting words from the Ancestor of Blood Refinement,

"Why do you want to kill Wu Tian?"

Old Yellowhide wanted to say it was to avenge his grandson,

But saying so, he thought the Ancestor of Blood Refinement would not help him,

He bit his teeth, looked indignant, and said, "Ancestor of Blood Refinement, you do not know Wu Tian. On the surface, he stands equal with you. In reality, he is a vicious and ruthless person. My grandson had no enmity with him, yet he killed him, and he also boasted... said... sigh, I dare not continue, Ancestor of Blood Refinement, this concerns you."

He decided to provoke the Ancestor into action, but Wu Tian, behind the bronze mask, had already seen through this, yet he played along, "Speak."

"He said that if there was a chance, he would certainly kill you and use your head as a night pot."

Old Yellowhide feared the Ancestor wouldn’t believe him, so he urged the Pangolin, "Grandson, you can testify for me."

The Pangolin, not knowing of any such matter, having never even met Wu Tian, understood his grandfather’s plan and immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was there at the time, Wu Tian really said that."

After speaking,

Old Yellowhide and the Pangolin exchanged glances, both feeling a shared joy in their hearts,

What is Wu Tian?

Isn’t he our pawn in the scheme unto death?

In their minds, Wu Tian is formidable but surely not a match for the venerable Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

Old Yellowhide could barely contain himself, brazenly asking, "Venerable Ancestor, when will you act to kill him?"

"Now." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement faintly smiled,

Old Yellowhide was overjoyed, having hoped for Wu Tian’s death long ago, and now the venerable Ancestor would act?

It was just as he wished.

Old Yellowhide asked again, "Venerable Ancestor, how should he die?"

"By a thousand cuts."

"Really?" Old Yellowhide was overjoyed beyond words.

"You are satisfied with this manner of death?" The Ancestor of Blood Refinement suddenly asked,

"Satisfied, satisfied, couldn’t be more satisfied." Old Yellowhide kowtowed to the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, thrilled that Wu Tian would die this way!

However, the Pangolin felt the words of the Ancestor of Blood Refinement seemed a bit off.

At this moment, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, with his Spiritual Sense scanning the surroundings and finding no others, reached out to slowly remove the bronze mask,

Old Yellowhide and the Pangolin did not expect the Ancestor of Blood Refinement to unmask in front of them,

They were excited, joyous, and beside themselves.

Who doesn’t know that the identity of the Ancestor of Blood Refinement is secret?

And for him to reveal his true face to them, what does this signify?

To Old Yellowhide and the Pangolin, it meant the Ancestor of Blood Refinement regarded them as confidants.

How could they not be delighted?

The status of the Ancestor of Blood Refinement in the Three Realms is unimaginable, and as his confidants, their status would undoubtedly rise steadily.

Finally, the mask came off,

"What?" Old Yellowhide and the Pangolin seemed to see something unbelievable,

Their eyes widened, almost dropping from their sockets in shock,

Then their faces turned ghastly pale.

How could it be Wu Tian?

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement, Wu Tian,

turned out to be the same person?

Could this be a mistake?

The Pangolin and Old Yellowhide were struck with terror.

Yet, in their shock, they could not speak.

"The method of a thousand cuts, it was your own choice, and you said you were very satisfied."

"Since it’s so, how can I not fulfill your wish?"

Wu Tian’s face was composed, but his words were chilling enough to make one shiver.

Old Yellowhide gritted his teeth, expect him to do nothing? Just wait for death?

He couldn’t do it.

Yellowhide’s forte is naturally his illusion techniques,

Now, Old Yellowhide was about to employ an illusion,

"Die."

A Blood Glow burst forth from Wu Tian’s body, shattering the air, breaking the illusion, everything fell apart under the Blood Glow.

"Ah" the Blood Glow slashed Old Yellowhide once, then continued to slash the Pangolin,

In the blink of an eye, the second cut, the third cut... in an instant, a thousand cuts.

Wu Tian kept his word.

In the small alley, there was no sound left, only a spatter of blood remained, the bodies had already been reduced to dust!
