Chapter 372
In the mountain forest.
A figure was flying low over the ground at a steady pace.
Holding a jade pendant in his hand, he sensed the direction from time to time.
Luo Chen had already discovered that the environment of the Ninth Mountain was indeed too tortuous and complex.
Although the natural environment seemed excellent, few monsters and wild beasts survived.
This was probably related to the lightning storms that appeared from time to time.
In just a few days of entering the mountain, he had encountered two lightning storms!
Although they were only small lightning storms, their bombardment posed a great threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Luo Chen considered his physique formidable, but he was unwilling to try that kind of natural lightning.
If it were just these, it would be fine.
But he discovered that after entering the Ninth Mountain, the release of spiritual sense was greatly suppressed.
With the terror of his soul foundation, his released spiritual sense could expand to more than ten miles away.
But arriving here, it was only seven or eight miles left, which was even more excessive than cutting it in half.
Consequently, the thousand-mile range of the sound-transmitting jade pendant was only three or four hundred miles left.
It was precisely because of this that he hadn't found Wang Yuan after entering the mountain for a long time.
However!
It was not without gains.
Luo Chen was proficient in cleaning spells, which could clear away foreign auras, and over the years, he had become very sensitive to various auras.
In several places stained with blood, he had discovered Wang Yuan's lingering aura!
Following these auras, Luo Chen kept searching.
But after circling a large circle, he found that he seemed to be going in circles.
Futile.
"Strange movement route!"
"Brother Wang is being chased, why does the movement route seem to be walking around the periphery of the Ninth Mountain?"
In fact, it was not purely moving on the periphery.
Several times, Luo Chen had already gone deep into the mountain.
But Wang Yuan's aura would suddenly go outside again.
This situation was as if...
"Chase, counter-chase?"
"Excellent hunters often appear in the form of prey. Now it seems that the situation has reversed, and it is Brother Wang who is hunting those enemies who are chasing him?"
Luo Chen stopped in front of a giant pit.
On the ground, there were holes the size of fingers.
Blood God Tribulation Finger!
A killing move researched by Wang Yuan after realizing the changes in blood and energy, taking Ming Jin as the core and drawing on the strengths of others.
Luo Chen squatted on the ground, his spiritual sense sweeping over those holes, feeling the strength of Wang Yuan's residual blood and energy.
Many days had passed, and the force was still not dissipated!
It can be seen that Wang Yuan's current state is very good!
"It should be related to the batch of top-grade Blood Baleful Pills I gave him."
Blood Baleful Pills are not just elixirs used to clear meridians.
This is an elixir mainly used by body refiners for cultivation, containing extremely thick blood and energy.
Especially the top-grade Blood Baleful Pills refined by Luo Chen, each one is almost comparable to the total essence blood of a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator!
Back then, before Wang Yuan researched Blood Baleful Spirit Snatching, he once tried to use Blood Baleful Pills to establish a foundation.
What he wanted to rely on was the terrifying blood and energy power described in the Blood Baleful Pills.
While Luo Chen was happy about Wang Yuan's current state.
A deep doubt appeared in his mind involuntarily.
"According to my tracking, Brother Wang's range of activities in these few months has been in the Ninth Mountain."
"Then the legend of the Blood Demon circulating outside cannot be him!"
"Then who is it?"
Just as he was doubting, heavy footsteps came from ahead.
Luo Chen frowned and stood up.
In his sight, a cultivator was walking slowly with a sluggish look.
Walking deep and shallow, even stumbling several times, almost falling to the ground.
In this state, seeing Luo Chen who was intact, he should have run away.
After all, whether it was an enemy or a friend could not be judged.
Even if it was a friend, he should be on guard.
But seeing Luo Chen, he showed hope on his face.
He reached out his hand and called out from afar: "Fellow daoist, save... save me!"
Luo Chen looked at him calmly.
"I can save you, but you need to answer a few questions for me."
"Yes, everything is fine, I, Chu, am willing to give you everything on me, save me, save me quickly."
Urgent words came from his mouth.
Just this sentence seemed to exhaust all his strength, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Luo Chen walked to his front and looked down at him.
"Are you the one chasing Wang Yuan?"
"Yes."
"Who is the leader?"
"Ku Chan."
"Who is Ku Chan?"
"I don't know, I am not a cultivator of the Flame Alliance, just a vassal of the Sword Sect."
Luo Chen frowned.
Subsequently, he asked again: "The injury on your body?"
"It's Wang Yuan, it's that devil!"
Just after saying this, the cultivator surnamed Chu lying on the ground rolled up.
Amidst painful groans, there was a faint sound of flowing water surging.
"Where is Wang Yuan!"
"Save me, save me quickly..."
Luo Chen frowned slightly and cast a healing spell casually.
Amidst the hazy green light, it landed on him.
However, the moment the green light entered his body, a scream burst out suddenly.
"Ah!!!"
Luo Chen's pupils shrank, and he flew back directly.
In his gaze, this cultivator surnamed Chu had his skin and membrane expanded to the extreme.
The next moment!
Boom!
An extremely soft force burst out suddenly.
Soft, instantly turning domineering!
Ores turned into powder, forest trees turned into ash.
Within a radius of one foot, there was only blood rain filling the sky.
Only blood, no flesh or bones.
It was as if this cultivator surnamed Chu was a big water bag before, and his whole body was filled with blood.
Luo Chen's face changed drastically.
Is this Wang Yuan's method?
It is definitely not Ming Jin, nor is it the An Jin he had shown before.
"Could it be Hua Jin?"
Luo Chen could feel that when the cultivator exploded and died, there was a force in his body that had developed to the extreme, containing both domineering and soft blood and energy changes!
That is, there was no one to control it.
Otherwise, just that blood rain filling the sky could be transformed into a powerful range attack capable of threatening mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
All along, the body-refining path Wang Yuan walked was incomplete.
Even if he took the strengths of others to make up for his weaknesses, he had countless defects.
Especially in terms of combat!
At the beginning, he could only rely on his body to resist, and if the opponent pulled away a little, he would be helpless.
At that time, he lacked long-range attacks, so he later developed the Blood God Tribulation Finger.
But the Blood God Tribulation Finger could only go straight, losing the twists and turns.
Not as good as cultivators manipulating magic tools as they pleased.
After the battle of Qinhua River, the Luo Tian Society attacked everywhere.
Wang Yuan realized a finger technique in battle to make up for this defect.
He could control the force to turn in battle.
He named it Immortal Returning to Pengying!
These two moves are very strong, and one-on-one, same-level cultivators are hard to guard against.
But when it comes down to it, these two killing moves are just carved in fine places.
All along, although Luo Chen was amazed, he didn't look down on them much.
Wang Yuan, no large-scale killing move!
Unlike himself, since his debut, one-on-many has been a common occurrence.
Whether it was the Battle of Xieyue Valley, the Battle of Gaoling Plain, or the Battle of Qinhua River.
The same-level experts he faced had never been fewer than two people.
What Luo Chen relied on was a large-scale killing spell with a very wide coverage.
Now it seems!
Wang Yuan clearly also had similar means to make up for this defect.
Luo Chen slowly approached the place where the cultivator surnamed Chu fell.
A small pit appeared in front of him, filled with turbid blood.
"Brother Wang, how should you name this move?"
"So extremely domineering, and also sinister and despicable... Blood-Transforming Demon Finger?"
When Luo Chen was feeling emotional, he prepared to release the fireball spell and cleaning spell to destroy the traces here.
Along the way, he had been destroying Wang Yuan's residual aura like this.
To avoid being found by others.
After all, the legend of the Blood Demon still points to Wang Yuan.
Just as Luo Chen was about to do it, an urgent sense of crisis came from within his heart!
Too late to react.
Instinctively, a pair of spiritual energy wings spread out instantly!
The whole person flew out ten feet away like lightning, passing over the water pit.
At this point, he turned around.
Looking at the blood pit with a gloomy face.
There, a masked figure was looking at him in surprise.
"What a handsome movement technique!"
"I didn't expect that the genius alchemy master famous in the Yuding Domain, besides a superb fire technique, also has such outstanding movement techniques!"
A hoarse and harsh voice came from the person's mouth.
It was as if someone was rubbing sandpaper in their throat, which was extremely uncomfortable to hear.
Listening to this uncomfortable voice, Luo Chen's expression was gloomy.
"Fellow daoist knows me so well, but I don't know the fellow daoist's name."
The masked man shook his head slowly, "My name is not worth mentioning, you can call me Blood Demon."
While speaking, his gaze fell into the blood pit.
The two eyes revealed under the mask flickered with joy.
And opposite him, Luo Chen's face changed completely.
The Blood Demon wandering on the battlefield in the legend was indeed not Wang Yuan, but this one.
Coincidentally, he appeared in front of him.
"Humph!"
"Hiding your head and showing your tail, changing your name and covering your surname, what is your intention in seeking me out?"
The Blood Demon didn't answer him directly.
Instead, he reached out and summoned, and a large amount of black blood at the blood pit condensed into a small ball, appearing in his hand.
After sensing it slightly, he shook his head regretfully.
"Good essence blood of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, strong and pure body-refining blood and energy, it's just a pity that it's already wasted after being fused together, full of turbidity."
He flicked his hand casually.
That ball of black blood fell to the ground, corroding another pit.
He looked at Luo Chen again, pursing his thin lips exposed outside.
"Your physique is very good! Your realm is not bad either, I think your condensed essence blood is no worse than that Wang Yuan's!"
Want my essence blood?
Luo Chen laughed in anger, "So arrogant, I would like to know what ability you have!"
While speaking, his spiritual energy surged, and he slapped the ground with his palm.
The Blood Demon looked at this scene with interest, chanting words in his mouth.
"I heard that Fire Spirit Lord's fire technique is the best in Tianlan, I would like to see it."
However, the next moment, he was stunned.
On the ground, one giant thorn vine after another rose from the ground.
Like dragons and snakes, they danced wildly, and the ferocious thorns on them flickered with black light, clearly poisonous.
In an instant, countless vines entangled him.
"What a fast casting speed, what a strong wood-attribute spell!"
The Blood Demon praised, and without any movement, a layer of pink halo rippled out.
Those vines fell weakly before they could get close.
Looking at the weak vines shrinking back into seeds.
The Blood Demon curled his lips, "Good wood technique, it's a pity the level is too low, only first-tier, even if you use second-tier thorn flower seeds to urge the vine technique, but... hmm?"
"What a treacherous junior!"
In his sight, Luo Chen's figure urged the fire-red wings, appearing in the distance with a flash and a flap.
From the beginning, the other party had no intention of fighting him.
The large-scale vine technique just now was just a feint to delay him.
He contained anger, drove his flying sword, and chased after him hurriedly.
However, the more he chased, the more surprised he was in his heart.
Luo Chen's flying speed was truly outrageously fast.
With his realm so much higher than the other party, he couldn't catch up, and the distance was even being slowly pulled apart.
"Need to use some means!"
With a thought, a drop of blood fell onto the flying sword under his feet.
In the blink of an eye, the speed soared by three points.
But even so, it was only barely equal to the figure in front.
"His flying spell is so exquisite, if I get it, combined with my blood-escape technique, I'm afraid even a Jin Dan True Person wouldn't be able to catch me!"
From initially taking a fancy to Luo Chen's essence blood, to now, the Blood Demon clearly took a fancy to Luo Chen's flying spell.
"I want to see how long your spiritual power can support urging this kind of spell!"
Mere sixth level of Foundation Establishment, flying at such extreme speed.
In his view, it definitely wouldn't last long.
Just as he was chasing, his brow suddenly frowned.
The sword light trembled, and the whole person moved three feet away forcibly.
Where he was originally, there were dozens of ferocious thorn vines dancing wildly again.
"Repeating the same trick is useless to me!"
"Is it?"
The Blood Demon was stunned.
But he saw Luo Chen, who was fleeing in front, suddenly turn around and press his palm down fiercely.
In the sky!
The Blood Demon looked up suddenly, only to see a heavy mountain that had already taken shape at some point, pressing down with a rumble.
Surrounding rock mineral layers, mud, and trees rose from the ground, constantly gathering toward the mountain.
Great Perfection Earth Mountain Technique!
The Blood Demon was not in a hurry, raised his hand, and a soft silk ribbon flew out.
The light silk ribbon spread out in the air.
It actually forcibly held up the pressure of that mountain.
"What other means do you have? Where is your fire technique, why don't you cast it?"
Luo Chen sneered, "Then watch carefully!"
Holding his sword high, red meteors circled and then attacked him.
The Blood Demon frowned, pinched the spell with one hand, and the flying sword under his feet rushed toward the fire meteors.
"Good means, but to deal with me... no!"
His face changed slightly, and his whole body was actually descending continuously.
A terrifying giant force came from above with a rumble.
He looked up, and above the mountain peak, there was another mountain, which was a top-grade magic tool!
Great Perfection Earth Mountain Technique combined with Thousand-Weight Peak, the two giant forces added together, rarely can anyone in the Foundation Establishment stage block it.
It was also at this time.
Opposite Luo Chen waved his long sword, outlining in the void along mysterious and secret traces.
A terrifying spiritual energy rushed out from his spacious meridians like a giant river wave.
A scorching sun appeared above the Blood Demon.
"Damn it!"
The Blood Demon shouted, no longer having his previous calm posture.
The magic treasure flying sword picked up suddenly, the Earth Mountain Technique collapsed, and the Thousand-Weight Peak was picked away.
That red silk ribbon wrapped him instantly.
The next moment!
Boom!
The scorching sun exploded instantly.
Boundless fire waves swept through suddenly.
The explosion that destroyed everything continued to erupt with the Blood Demon as the center.
Luo Chen's face became fierce.
Not enough!
That red silk ribbon was clearly a defensive magic treasure.
Just relying on the scorching sun technique cast by using the tool to control the technique could not completely kill the opponent.
But at least, there was a chance!
With a thought, the Xuanhuo Sword in his hand broke through the air, carrying countless fire meteors, stabbing like a meteorite.
It was also at this time.
There was a sound of thunder from above.
Luo Chen's face changed slightly, reached out and summoned, and the whole person retreated dozens of feet by vibrating the Lieyun Wings.
The next moment, a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket struck down.
Looking up.
A pitch-black dark cloud of several feet in size was brewing, with lightning walking like dragons and snakes inside, constantly flashing silver-white light.
Lightning storm!
Luo Chen took a deep breath, put away the Thousand-Weight Peak, held the Xuanhuo Sword, and looked at the opponent coldly.
"Consider yourself lucky!"
After speaking, his figure trembled, appearing ten feet away in the distance, and after a few shifts, he disappeared.
And in the original place, where thunder and fire intersected.
A red silk ribbon stained with black color spread out slowly.
The Blood Demon's face was slightly pale, and his teeth were clenched.
Retiring from the place covered by the lightning storm, he looked at the direction Luo Chen left.
After a long while, he spat out a few words.
"Consider yourself lucky!"
"Next time, don't fall into my hands!"
