Chapter 31: Heavenly Demon Metamorphosis Technique Shows Its Might!

The battle intensified, and countless waves of lethal spirit energy erupted within the square.

Several teams on the field, seeing their own strength insufficient, chose to withdraw from the competition.

"This cultivation method is not bad, and this escape technique is not bad either."

"Hiss... The treasures on Wang Lan are truly inexhaustible!"

Unaware, the sky gradually darkened, and Lu Chen remained at the sidelines watching the battle.

Although he did not participate, he was very pleased watching.

He was even more excited than the outer disciples who were spectating.

Seeing Wang Lan get hit, he would secretly clap.

However, his good days did not last long.

As the strength of several people continued to decline, Wang Lan and the group led by Xue Wu Ying suddenly turned their gaze toward him.

Xue Wu Ying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his bloodthirsty pupils flickering with a strange light in the darkness:

"I almost forgot, there's still a yellow sparrow pretending to sleep."

Wang Lan's body kept bleeding, hearing this he sneered: "Just a mid-stage Establishing Foundation cultivator, and you still want to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

In an instant, for some unknown reason, the two reached a certain agreement.

Wang Lan stepped forward in midair, his figure instantly appearing before Lu Chen.

Immediately, his arms flashed with dark-gold patterns, his five fingers turned into claws, and he lunged straight at Lu Chen's face.

Seeing this, Gu Xiangxiang reacted first, immediately taking out her jade fan to block in front of Lu Chen.

"Wow! Senior sister, you're so cool!"

Lu Chen stood up and generously praised Gu Xiangxiang's recent action.

Actually, even without their help, he could block Wang Lan's attack.

After all, the opponent suddenly charged over from that far away.

However, we shouldn't let the senior sister's kindness go to waste.

"Gu Xiangxiang, you're also a Pill Condensing cultivator—why would you team up with Lu Chen, just an Establishing Foundation late-stage cultivator?"

"How about I give up on Mei Qianxue and team up with you instead?"

As soon as Wang Lan finished speaking, Mei Qianxue's face turned green not far away.

Gu Xiangxiang broke through to the Pill Condensing realm nearly a year ago, and her foundation is definitely stronger than Mei Qianxue's.

"With you? Forget it—I believe Lu Chen's future achievements will not be inferior to yours."

"Hahaha!" Upon hearing Gu Xiangxiang's words, Lu Chen instantly beamed with joy.

Indeed, he hadn't chosen the wrong person; compared to Mei Qianxue, Senior Sister Gu is simply a perfect senior sister—beautiful, sweet-voiced, and caring for her junior.

"Senior sister, just watch what I'll do next."

He gave a slight smile, shielding Gu Xiangxiang in front of him, then his Blood Spirit Sword in hand began to tremble, flickering with a bloodthirsty light.

"Are you finally going to make a move? I thought you'd again be stingy with your life like in the ancient tomb before."

As soon as Wang Lan said that, many disciples instantly felt the same.

The incident at the ancient tomb last time had long been known to everyone among the disciples.

Everyone knew there was a disciple who had not moved for three days, stingy with his life.

"Turns out that person is Lu Chen!!"

"No wonder he kept staying in place—now I see."

"So what?" Facing the doubts, Lu Chen showed no annoyance, after all others didn't know his true gains in the ancient tomb.

"Mockery is useless; let's fight!"

His eyes turned cold, and he took out a drop of Blood Li Bird essence blood from his storage bag.

Having waited so long for this opportunity, he naturally wouldn't give Wang Lan and the others time to react.

Since he's going to strike, he must hit the vital point immediately!

"Is that Demonic Beast essence blood in his hand? What a terrifying aura..."

Wang Lan and Xue Wu Ying's group saw Lu Chen's hand movement and quickly realized what he intended to do.

But it was already too late.

"Heavenly Demon Metamorphosis Technique!"

As the essence blood was absorbed by Lu Chen at a terrifying speed, a scarlet scale-armor phantom gradually appeared on the surface of his arms.

On his back, a damaged wing suddenly unfurled.

Immediately after, a terrifying roar echoed within his body, and the dreadful pressure of an Ancient Heavenly Demon descended instantly!

"Whoosh!"

The pressure, carrying the unique aura of a Heavenly Demon, swept across the entire field, even the great formation could not block its spread.

"What is this? The aura of an Ancient Heavenly Demon? How could he possess a demon tribe's technique?!"

Among those present, only Qing Luo recognized the owner behind this aura.

"An Ancient Heavenly Demon?" The messenger beside her exclaimed in shock upon hearing.

The messenger had only heard of such a creature's existence, but since Heavenly Demons have been extinct for millions of years, he had never personally felt it.

However, after the initial shock, his face showed more gloom.

"Since you possess such a high-level technique, I cannot let you live any longer."

On the field, Wang Lan's pupils contracted; looking at Lu Chen's Heavenly Demon phantom, he unconsciously stepped back a few paces.

Even the Blood Demon Magic Technique he had just unleashed was affected.

"What's going on? Why can't I unleash my Blood Demon Magic Technique?!"

His cultivation method inherently required consuming large amounts of killing aura and essence blood; having just reactivated it, it failed under the influence of this unknown pressure.

Not far away, the several Blood Shadow members felt this aura, their faces filled with apprehension.

But since they have managed to hold on until now, the position of Holy Son is certain to be theirs.

In an instant, several people simultaneously attacked, moving to surround and assault Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, be careful!" Gu Xiangxiang exclaimed, immediately activating the jade fan in her hand; the fan surface swiftly unfolded, forming a barrier that blocked the first wave of attacks from the several people for Lu Chen.

However, the Blood Shadow members had no intention of giving Lu Chen and her time to react, quickly launching another assault.

"Just at the Elixir Accumulation Early Stage, and you still think you can block me?"

In a moment, several attacks surged forward, and the barrier shattered instantly!

Gu Xiangxiang let out a muffled groan, being shaken back several steps by the backlash of the shattered barrier, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with cold light.

"Courting death!"

At this point, those several people were already spent; as long as he struck with full force, he could surely crush them in one blow.

He once again placed Senior Sister Gu in front of him, then a burst of blood-colored light erupted from his scale armor, activating the killing aura on the Blood Spirit Sword to strengthen it further.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a streak of blood-colored light, shooting forth like an arrow released from a bow.

"Boom——!"

Wherever the blood light passed, the ground cracked and shattered, sending stone fragments flying.

His speed was so great it could almost tear the air, directly aiming at Wang Lan's head.

"Not good! How is he so fast!"

Wang Lan tried to raise his hands to block, but in the next instant both hands were sliced apart by the Blood Spirit Sword as easily as cutting vegetables.

At this moment, he seemed to realize that he could not possibly be a match for his opponent.

Immediately, he burned a large amount of essence blood, instantly employing an evasion technique, erupting with astonishing speed as his figure shot backward.

The Blood Shadow members behind him witnessed this scene, their faces showing even greater shock.

Among them, the most unbelievable was Mei Qianxue standing off to the side.

"He... how can he be so strong?"

"Clearly, just a few days ago he was only at the Qi Refining Stage."

"Could it be that I chose the wrong person!?"
