Chapter 372

~15 min read 2,970 words

In the mountain forest.

A figure was flying across the ground neither fast nor slow.

Holding a jade slip in his hand, he occasionally sensed the direction.

Luo Chen had already discovered that the environment of the Jiushan was indeed too tortuous and complex.

It seems that the natural environment is excellent, but few monsters and wild beasts survive.

This is estimated to be related to the thunderstorms that appear from time to time.

In just a few days of entering the mountain, he encountered two thunderstorms!

Although they were only small thunderstorms, under the bombardment, they also posed a great threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Luo Chen considered his physical body strong, but he was not willing to try that kind of natural thunder and lightning.

If it were just these, it would be fine.

But he found that after entering the Jiushan, the release of spiritual sense was greatly suppressed.

With the terror of his soul foundation, his spiritual sense could expand to more than ten miles away.

But when he arrived here, only seven or eight miles remained, which was even more excessive than cutting it in half.

Consequently, the thousand-mile range of the sound-transmitting jade slip was only three or four hundred miles left.

It was precisely because of this that he hadn't found Wang Yuan after entering this mountain for a long time.

However!

It was not without gains.

Luo Chen is proficient in the Cleansing Technique, which can clear away foreign auras; over the years, he has become very sensitive to various auras.

In several places stained with blood, he found Wang Yuan's lingering aura!

Following these auras, Luo Chen continued to search.

But after making a big 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 look like he is walking around the periphery of the Jiushan?"

In fact, it was not purely active on the periphery.

Several times, Luo Chen had gone deep into the depths of the mountain.

But Wang Yuan's aura would suddenly go outside again.

This situation is like...

"Chase, counter-chase?"

"Excellent hunters often appear in the posture 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 huge pit.

On the ground, there were indeed finger-thick holes.

Blood God Tribulation Finger!

A killing move that Wang Yuan researched by taking the strengths of others with Ming Jin as the core after realizing the changes in blood energy.

Luo Chen squatted on the ground, his spiritual sense swept over those holes, feeling the blood energy intensity left by Wang Yuan.

Many days have passed, and the force is 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 Sha Pills I gave him."

Blood Sha Pills are not just elixirs used to clear meridians.

This is an elixir mainly used by body cultivators for cultivation, and the blood energy contained within is extremely thick.

Especially the top-grade Blood Sha Pills refined by Luo Chen, each one is almost comparable to the total amount of essence blood of a late Qi Refining stage cultivator!

Back then, before Wang Yuan researched Blood Sha Spirit Snatching, he once tried to use Blood Sha Pills to form a foundation.

What he wanted to rely on was the terrifying blood energy described in the Blood Sha Pill.

When 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 these few months has been in the Jiushan."

"Then the legend of the Blood Demon circulating outside cannot be him!"

"Then who is it?"

Just as he was puzzled, heavy footsteps came from the front.

Luo Chen frowned and stood up.

In his line of sight, a cultivator walked slowly with a staggering gait and dull eyes.

Walking with heavy steps, even swaying several times while walking, almost falling to the ground.

In his state, seeing Luo Chen who was complete and unharmed, he should have run away.

After all, whether it is an enemy or a friend cannot be judged.

Even if it is a friend, one should be on guard.

But seeing Luo Chen, a look of hope appeared 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, anything, Chu is willing to give you everything on his body, save me, save me quickly."

Urgent words came out of 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 Yan Alliance, just a vassal of the Sword Sect."

Luo Chen frowned.

Afterwards, he asked again: "Your injuries?"

"It's Wang Yuan, it's that devil!"

Just after saying this, the cultivator surnamed Chu who was lying on the ground rolled up.

Amidst painful groans, the sound of flowing water could be heard faintly.

"Where is Wang Yuan!"

"Save me, save me quickly..."

Luo Chen frowned slightly and cast a healing spell casually.

Amidst the hazy blue light, it landed on his body.

However, the moment the blue light entered his body, a scream erupted suddenly.

"Ah!!!"

Luo Chen's pupils shrank, and he flew back directly.

Under his gaze, the skin of this cultivator surnamed Chu expanded to the extreme.

The next moment!

Boom!

An extremely gentle force erupted suddenly.

Gentle, instantly turning domineering!

Ores turned into powder, trees turned into ash.

Within a radius of one foot, there was only blood rain in 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 shell 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 gentle blood energy changes!

It was just that there was no one controlling it.

Otherwise, that blood rain in the sky could have been transformed into a powerful range attack capable of threatening mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

All along, the body-refining path Wang Yuan took has been incomplete.

Even if he took the strengths of others, he had countless flaws.

Especially in terms of combat!

At first, 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 can only go straight, losing the tortuous changes.

Not as good as cultivators controlling magic tools as they wish.

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 flaw.

He could control the force to turn corners during battle.

He named it "Immortal Returning to Pengying"!

These two moves are very strong, and in one-on-one combat, it is difficult for cultivators of the same rank to guard against them.

But in the end, these two killing moves are just carved in fine details.

All along, although Luo Chen was amazed, he didn't think much of them.

Wang Yuan has no large-scale killing moves!

Unlike himself, since his debut, fighting one against 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 experts of the same rank he faced had never been fewer than two people.

What Luo Chen relied on was a large-scale lethal spell with a very wide coverage.

Now it seems!

Wang Yuan clearly also has similar means to make up for this flaw.

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 yet sinister and despicable... Blood-Transforming Demon Finger?"

When Luo Chen was sighing, he prepared to release the Fireball Technique and Cleansing Technique to destroy the traces here.

Along the way, he had been destroying Wang Yuan's lingering aura like this.

So as not to be found by others.

After all, the legend of the Blood Demon still points to Wang Yuan.

Just as Luo Chen was about to take action, a sense of extreme urgency and crisis came from within his heart!

Too late to react.

Instinctively, a pair of spiritual energy wings unfolded instantly!

The whole person flew out ten feet away like lightning, passing over the water pit.

By this time, 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 alchemist famous in the Yuding Domain, besides a superb fire technique, also has such an outstanding movement technique!"

A hoarse and harsh voice came from that person's mouth.

It was as if someone was rubbing sandpaper in their throat, making it 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 surprise.

And opposite him, Luo Chen's face changed completely.

The Blood Demon wandering on the battlefield in the legend is indeed not Wang Yuan, but this one.

It just so happened that he appeared in front of him.

"Hmph!"

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, concealing your name and surname, you seek me out, what is your intention?"

The Blood Demon did not answer him directly.

Instead, he reached out and beckoned, 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 with regret.

"Good essence blood of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, powerful and pure body cultivator blood energy, it's 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 physical body is very good! Your realm is not bad either, I suppose 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 watched this scene with great interest, muttering words in his mouth.

"I heard that the fire technique of the Fire Spirit Lord is unparalleled in Tianlan, I would like to witness it."

However, the next moment, he was stunned.

On the ground, one giant thorny vine after another rose from the ground.

Like dragons and snakes, they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, and the ferocious spikes on them flickered with black light, clearly poisonous.

In an instant, countless vines entangled towards him.

"What a fast casting speed, what a strong wood-type spell!"

The Blood Demon praised, and without any movement, a layer of pink halo rippled out.

Those vines fell limply before they even got close.

Watching the weak vines shrink 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..."

"What a treacherous junior!"

In his line of sight, Luo Chen's figure urged the fire-red wings, appearing in the distance with a flash and a vibration.

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 his anger, piloted his flying sword, and chased after him in a hurry.

However, the more he chased, the more surprised he was in his heart.

Luo Chen's flight speed was indeed 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 fresh 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 equivalent to the figure in front.

"His flight spell is so exquisite, if I get it, combined with my Blood Escape Technique, I'm afraid even a Golden Core Venerable wouldn't be able to catch me!"

From initially fancying Luo Chen's essence blood, to now, the Blood Demon clearly fancied Luo Chen's flight spell.

"I want to see how long your spiritual power can support this spell!"

A mere sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, 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.

Where he was originally, there were dozens of ferocious thorny vines crazily brandishing.

"Using the same trick again, it's useless to me!"

"Is that so?"

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 huge mountain that had condensed into shape at some point, pressing down with a rumble.

The surrounding rocks, mineral layers, soil, and trees rose from the ground, constantly gathering towards the mountain.

Great Perfection Earth Mountain Technique!

The Blood Demon was unhurried, raised his hand, and a soft silk ribbon flew out.

The light silk ribbon unfolded in the air.

It actually 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 long sword high, red meteors swirled and then attacked him.

The Blood Demon frowned, pinched a seal with one hand, and the flying sword under his feet rushed towards the fire meteor.

"Good means, but to deal with me... No!"

His face changed slightly, and his whole figure was actually descending constantly.

A terrifying giant force came rumbling from above his head.

He looked up, and above the mountain peak, there was another mountain, a top-grade magic tool!

Great Perfection Earth Mountain Technique combined with the Thousand-Heavy Peak, the two giant forces added together, few in the Foundation Establishment stage can block it.

It was also at this moment.

Opposite, Luo Chen's long sword swung, outlining in the void along mysterious and secret traces.

Terrifying spiritual energy flowed out from his spacious meridians like a giant river wave.

A scorching sun emerged above the Blood Demon.

"Damn it!"

The Blood Demon shouted, no longer having his previous calm posture.

The magic tool flying sword picked up suddenly, the Earth Mountain Technique collapsed, and the Thousand-Heavy Peak was picked away.

That red silk ribbon wrapped him instantly.

The next moment!

Boom!

The scorching sun erupted instantly.

Boundless fire waves swept across suddenly.

The explosion that destroyed everything erupted constantly with the Blood Demon as the center.

Luo Chen's expression was fierce.

Not enough!

That red silk ribbon is clearly a defensive magic tool.

Just relying on the Scorching Sun Technique cast by controlling the technique with the tool cannot completely kill the opponent.

But at least, there is a chance!

With a thought, the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian in his hand broke through the air, carrying countless fire meteors, piercing like a meteorite.

It was also at this moment.

There was a sound of thunder from above his head.

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly, he reached out and beckoned, 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 dragons and snakes of electricity moving within, constantly flashing silver-white light.

Thunderstorm!

Luo Chen took a deep breath, put away the Thousand-Heavy Peak, held the Profound Xuan Xuan Huo Jian, 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 slowly unfolded.

The Blood Demon's face was slightly pale, his teeth clenched.

Retreating from the area covered by the thunderstorm, he looked in 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!"
