“Someone’s coming!”
Behind a hidden boulder, Lu Wenyu and his three companions were watching the figure approaching in the distance.
“It’s a disciple of the Blood God Sect. There’s only one person.”
Although the distance was too far to see the face clearly, they could distinguish the attire.
As the person got closer, one of them asked, “Is that the person you mentioned?”
“Yes, let’s attack him when he gets here. Don’t let him escape.”
Watching Zhang Chen getting closer and closer, Lu Wenyu’s face was filled with excitement for his revenge.
I wonder what his expression will be when he sees me? He will be afraid, begging for my forgiveness. When the time comes, I’ll humiliate him first before killing him.
Thinking of this, Lu Wenyu could not suppress the smile on his face and became even more excited.
Closer, closer, closer…
“Attack!”
The four of them shouted and leaped out to surround Zhang Chen.
Lu Wenyu looked at Zhang Chen playfully, wanting to see his frightened expression.
However, he was disappointed. Zhang Chen was only surprised for a moment before he frowned and looked at him.
“It’s you?” Zhang Chen’s gaze fell on Lu Wenyu. He was a little puzzled. He did not remember any grudge between the two of them.
Could he be one of Zhou Wenting’s men?
“Surprised, aren’t you?” Lu Wenyu grinned. “If you kneel down and beg for my forgiveness, I might spare you.”
Zhang Chen’s gaze turned dangerous as he sneered, “With just you guys?”
Lu Wenyu was stunned. This was completely different from what he had imagined.
Why was he so calm and not afraid at all? Did he have something to rely on?
While Lu Wenyu was in a daze, Zhang Chen made a move.
Facing the siege of four cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, he did not dare to be careless. He decided to use his full strength to avoid failure.
Blood Ignition Technique!
The blood inside Zhang Chen’s body began to boil and evaporate. His body emitted a faint blood mist, and his aura and cultivation began to advance rapidly.
Within just two breaths, Zhang Chen’s cultivation level had advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refinement!
“This is the Blood Ignition technique! You’re out of your mind, using the Blood Ignition technique!” exclaimed Lu Wenyu
Recognizing the technique Zhang Chen was using, Lu Wenyu looked incredulous.
The Blood Ignition Technique could temporarily boost one’s cultivation level, but once used, it couldn’t be stopped until the user’s blood was completely burned up, resulting in death.
He couldn’t understand why Zhang Chen would use such a dangerous technique right from the start.
And of course, Zhang Chen wasn’t going to explain.
“What’s going on? How did his cultivation level suddenly increase to the ninth level of Qi refining?” The other three were shocked and alarmed.
They had come because Zhang Chen was only at the seventh level of Qi refining and was alone. They thought it would be an easy win with four of them against one.
But now that he had increased his cultivation level, they were worried they might suffer losses.
Seeing the other three starting to back off, Lu Wenyu’s expression changed.
If they ran away, Zhang Chen would definitely pursue them, and with the gap in their cultivation levels, Lu Wenyu knew he wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping.
So, he quickly said, “Don’t be afraid, he’s just using some secret technique that won’t last long.
And even though he’s at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he probably doesn’t know many spells. I’ll use the Blood Absorption Technique to make his blood unable to leave his body, preventing him from using spells.”
Upon hearing this, the other three regained their composure.
“Attack!”
Lu Wenyu shouted, and the other three instinctively released their spells.
Blood Burst Technique!
Zhang Chen’s figure suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight and arrived beside someone.
A red saber had appeared in his hand at some point in time.
The ghost eye on the hilt was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed. It seemed to have really come alive and was about to devour everyone.
“Oh no!” This person was shocked. Fortunately, he knew a defensive spell that could make his body as hard as iron for a short period of time.
With the Blood Burst Technique augmenting his arm and the active effect of the Berserk Blood Saber, he slashed out.
“Thud…”
It was too fast. No one saw Zhang Chen swing his saber. The person next to him was cut in half at the waist and half of his body fell to the ground.
The defensive spell was like a piece of paper, useless.
“Magical artifact, the saber in his hand is a mid-grade magical artifact!” The remaining people were horrified.
They didn’t have any magical weapons as itinerant cultivators. How could they resist?
“Run!” One person was scared out of his wits and turned to run.
But how could Zhang Chen let his enemies escape?
Blood Burst Technique!
Zhang Chen exerted strength under his feet and instantly caught up to the escaping rogue cultivator. He raised his hand and a head fell to the ground.
Due to the speed of the blade, the headless body of the rogue cultivator ran for more than 10 meters before falling.
The last itinerant cultivator reacted and immediately fled. He had only taken two steps when Zhang Chen blocked his path.
The itinerant cultivator looked terrified. The first thing he thought of was not to attack, but to beg for mercy.
“Spare me, don’t kill…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was slashed to death by Zhang Chen.
The three itinerant cultivators died with endless regret.
Lu Wenyu, on the other hand, took the opportunity to run dozens of feet away. His mind was filled with fear and doubt.
Zhang Chen had just become an inner sect disciple. This was his first time out hunting. Why did he have a mid-grade magical weapon?
And why did he use Blood Burning Technique from the start, to perish with them? Was he not afraid of death?
Zhang Chen did not chase after Lu Wenyu. Instead, he used a spell that he had never used before and slashed at Lu Wenyu from afar.
Ice Soul Slash!
A blade of extremely cold Qi was condensed and broke through Lu Wenyu’s body.
Lu Wenyu felt like he had fallen into an icy cave. His blood froze, and his body was stiff and covered in frost.
What’s going on here?
Lu Wenyu, who could not move, was filled with fear and regret.
Why? Why did I come to kill Zhang Chen? If the heavens gave me another chance, I would definitely stay far away from this lunatic!
But there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Zhang Chen walked up to Lu Wenyu and raised his saber, intending to end his life.
Lu Wenyu knew that Zhang Chen would not let him go, so he did not beg for mercy.
Before he died, he suddenly smiled and said, “You used the Blood Ignition Technique. Even if you kill me, you will soon come down to join me!”
“Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.” Zhang Chen released the Blood Ignition Technique. His cultivation level quickly dropped to the sixth level of Qi Refinement.
Lu Wenyu’s eyes widened. He had a mental breakdown and was unwilling to believe it. He muttered to himself, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. What I saw must be an illusion, an illusion…”
Zhang Chen didn’t say anything else and struck down with his saber.
“Pa!” Lu Wenyu shattered into countless pieces like an ice sculpture and scattered on the ground.
“I’ve dealt with them all. I only lost a level of my cultivation.”
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhang Chen felt that he was becoming more and more like a demonic cultivator.
But he was just trying to live a better life.
Zhang Chen took out a blood storage bottle containing blood essence to replenish his lost cultivation. After his cultivation returned to the seventh level of Qi Refinement, he began to search for the corpses on the ground.
The itinerant cultivators didn’t have anything good on them. They didn’t even have a storage pouch. Together they only had 40-odd spirit stones.
Even if there were valuable things, many people would not carry them around. Instead, they would hide them. After all, who would bring all their possessions with them when they went out?
Lu Wenyu only had a blood storage bottle and a beast breeding bag on him. There was nothing else.
