Su Long looks at the three bodies collapsed around him in the prison. The rotten smell of blood and death filled the cold air, making the entire prison suffocating. His chest rose and fell heavily, his breath rough, but after a while he slowly calmed down and became silent.
Then, his eyes slowly moved and he looked at the system panel floating in front of him.
System Panel
[Total Hatred Value: 30 points.]
Su Long's eyes flickered with a strange light. Without hesitation, he immediately added all 30 points to his cultivation.
Boom!
A violent surge of power burst inside his body. His blood boiled like molten iron, his muscles bulged and veins popped out, his bones shook like thunder. The strength spread into every corner of his body, every meridian trembling with power.
Su Long gritted his teeth as he felt his body changing. A moment later, his expression turned into excitement.

Su Long looked at his cultivation and spoke in a deep voice, his tone cold, "I have reached Body Refining Mid. But with Titan Body, I can actually fight Body Refining Late. Those who planted this on me, I will make sure they regret it a thousand times." His eyes shone with killing intent.

He walked toward the outside. As he stepped into the corridor, he saw a young guard approaching with a confident look. The guard froze the moment his eyes landed on Su Long. His face turned pale, his legs trembled.
Su Long's gaze turned sharp. He recognized the guard. His name was Su Lei, the father of Su Yan. Su Lei looked at him in disbelief, confusion all over his face.
"H-How are you outside? Where is my daughter? Where are the other guards?"
Su Long's lips curled into a wide smile, his voice bone-chilling, "Your daughter is already dead. I killed her. While dying, she even said you would come back for revenge. But I didn't give her any chance. I killed her myself."
Su Lei's eyes turned red. His whole body trembled. He roared, "You are lying! How is this possible? You are just a mortal! How could you kill them!? This… this can't be happening!" He looked like a madman, veins bulging on his forehead.
[Ding! 50 Hatred Points obtained.]
"You bastard!" Su Lei's eyes turned blood-red. "I will kill you!" He rushed forward with a punch, wanting to smash Su Long into pieces.
But Su Long only smiled. With terrifying speed, his fist blasted out.
Boom!
Su Lei's head exploded instantly, "Pach!" Blood splattered across the cold stone floor. His body stood for a moment, then collapsed. His eyes still wide open in disbelief.
Why? Why is this happening? We were on the right side… still, I die here… His thoughts scattered into nothingness.
[Ding! First time killing a Body Refining Mid cultivator. Reward: Heavenbreaker Sword – Low Grade.]
Suddenly, Su Long felt the weight of a sword in his hand. His eyes glowed. "A low-grade treasure… this is good. Now I also have a weapon." He looked at the sword with satisfaction, then kept it into the system space.
Stepping out into the courtyard, Su Long's eyes fell on a young man sitting on a chair. Surrounded by several guards, he was laughing proudly with killing intent in his eyes.
On the chair sat Su Jie. With a cruel smile, he said, "Haha! When that little bastard Su Long is dead, my brother will become the head of the Su family. Then I will live a rich life, free from worries."
The other guards nodded eagerly. "Senior Jie, don't forget us. We are your brothers. Whatever you order, we will do it. You are so powerful! Already at Body Refining Late. You will definitely enter a good sect." They licked Su Jie's boots without shame.
Suddenly, Su Jie's smile froze. He turned his head and saw Su Long walking toward them, his figure stained in blood. His eyes widened.
"You! How did you escape!? Guards, catch this bastard and lock him back in the prison!"
The guards' expressions turned furious. "You bastard! How did you escape? Kneel down now and apologize, or we will kill you!"
One guard raised his fist and rushed forward. But before his punch could land—
Shhhk!
His arm was cut clean off. "Ahhhh!" His scream echoed through the courtyard.
Su Long stood there coldly, holding the Heavenbreaker Sword in his hand. His voice was deep and cold, "All of you… are going to die."
[Ding! 40 Hatred Points obtained.]
The guards roared in anger, "How dare you cut off our brother's arm!? Brothers, kill him!"
They charged at Su Long together. But a terrifying smooth slash cut through the air—
Slash! One guard was chopped into two halves.
Slash! Another guard's neck was split open, blood spraying on the faces of the others.
Before they could even recover, Su Long turned and slashed vertically. Another guard was split into two parts, blood splashing across the ground like rain.
Slash after slash, screams filled the courtyard. Within breaths, all the guards were dead, their bodies scattered around like butchered animals. Blood covered Su Long's entire body, making him look like a blood-soaked demon.
Su Jie stood up from the chair, his eyes wide with shock and rage. His voice trembled as he roared, "You… you… you actually recovered your cultivation!? Impossible! You are just Body Refining Mid. Do you dare to resist me? I'll show you true strength!"
He rushed forward, clenching his fist, his face twisted with hatred as if he wanted to devour Su Long alive. "Su Long! You are dead!"
[Ding! 10 Hatred Points obtained.]
Su Long looked at him like he was a fool. With calmness, he raised his sword.
Shhhk!
A powerful slash cut across Su Jie's neck. Blood gushed out instantly.
Su Jie fell to his knees, both hands covering his bleeding neck. His face turned pale, eyes filled with confusion, fear, and shock. His voice trembled, "H-How… how can this be… I am one stage higher than you… still… defeated? I can't… I can't die here… My brother Su Shan… he will kill you!"
But Su Long's eyes were merciless. Without hesitation, he swung his sword again.
Slash!
Su Jie's head flew into the air, spinning before crashing onto the ground. Blood poured like a fountain.
Su Long stood there silently, holding the sword in his hand like a reaper, his entire figure covered in the blood of his enemies.
[Ding! First time killing a Body Refining Late cultivator. Reward: Starpiercer Bow – Low Grade.]
A new weapon appeared in his hands. Su Long felt its weight and tested its string. His eyes lit up. "So good… so tight and flexible. I don't even need arrows. I can load it with qi energy directly."
With a cold smile, he stored the bow into the system space. The courtyard was silent, only blood and corpses proving the massacre that had just happened.
