"This is never-ending! Peerless Lunar Shadow!" Murong Chong lost his patience with the unceasing flight of Blood Crows. He executed one of Qingyun Peak's Seven Great Secret Techniques, Peerless Lunar Shadow.
Two crescent moons appeared in front of Murong Chong. The crescent moons formed a cross in the air and streaked across silently.
In the next moment, countless drops of blood appeared, dyeing the two crescent moons scarlet. The densely packed Blood Crows in the surroundings fell down like rain.
The two scarlet crescent moons flew back with a 'shua' sound, one in front and one behind. They sandwiched Murong Chong's body in the middle, forming a true full moon.
"Hu chi!"
The instant the crescent moons merged, Murong Chong's body flashed in the air. Blood spurted out from the center of the Blood Crow King's huge body, splitting it in half.
Murong Chong's grave and stern figure appeared behind the Blood Crow King. He held a bloodstained Demonic Core in his hand.
Behind him, a scarlet full moon slowly rose, dyeing the sky scarlet. Under the illumination of the scarlet light, Murong Chong stood upright while holding his saber. He looked strangely beautiful.
The Blood Crow King's corpse fell from the sky with a 'pu tong' sound. The remaining Blood Crows immediately scattered. The other disciples on the ground heaved a sigh of relief.
"He is already very close to a peak Consummation mysterious phenomenon. Murong Chong is indeed worthy of being the top core disciple on the Wind Cloud List. I'm afraid a regular Inferior Grade Martial King would not be a match for him."
A Beichen Peak core disciple on the ground sighed as he looked at Murong Chong in the air.
Another person beside him added, "That is indeed so. The greatest advantage a Martial King has over a Martial Saint is the ability to fly. Murong Chong grasps a flying Martial Technique. This advantage is useless against him. He would even be able to hold his own against a Medial Grade Martial King."
"Don't be envious. He is not on the same level as us. Among the younger generation of the Great Qin Nation, his strength is firmly within the top ten. We can only fight for the top ten spots in the Xihe Province."
The full moon slowly disappeared and Murong Chong landed on the ground expressionlessly. His gaze was like lightning as he looked at the other nine people.
Immediately, everyone felt a trace of pressure and stopped their discussions. A Qianduan Peak disciple walked over to Murong Chong and asked, "Senior Brother Murong, are you alright?"
Murong Chong sheathed his saber and said indifferently, "It is just a peak Rank 4 Demonic Beast. What can happen to it?"
"Where do we go next?" The man took two steps forward and asked with a puzzled expression.
Bang!
When this person was only one step away from Murong Chong, Murong Chong suddenly attacked at lightning speed. His palm struck this person's chest.
That person's body trembled violently as a black shadow drilled out of his body.
The black figure revealed himself, revealing an extremely pale face. Suddenly, he vomited a large mouthful of blood, and his already pale face became even paler.
The black figure looked at Murong Chong incredulously, "How did you discover me?"
Murong Chong said indifferently, "In the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, no core disciple has ever dared to get within three steps of me."
Puchi!
The black figure vomited another mouthful of blood and looked at Murong Chong in horror. Then, he quickly turned around and fled into the distance. He was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, he had moved a thousand meters.
Murong Chong watched as the black figure fled, but he did not give chase. After a while, the black figure, who was still fleeing, suddenly exploded into pieces.
A core disciple revealed a horrified expression. He asked, "What is this? How can it enter our bodies?"
"Shadow Demon!" Murong Chong said indifferently, "The Deep Abyss Demonic World, a subsidiary race of the Blood Demons of the nine royal clans. It can only enter the bodies of dead people. Just be careful."
"What about Senior Brother Cheng?" That person pointed to the Qianduan Peak core disciple lying on the ground and asked with a trembling voice.
Murong Chong turned around and said indifferently, "Dead."
The moment Murong Chong spoke, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This was the first time they felt the aura of death so close.
Some people rejoiced, some people were worried. Not all the teams were as lucky as Murong Chong and Yun Kexin. They did not have many casualties.
In the sky, a huge Blood Crow carried the corpses of ten Heavenly Saber Pavilion core disciples. A Shadow Demon was on its head. He muttered to himself, "Ten fresh corpses. Master will definitely be happy."
On another battlefield, the ground was littered with the corpses of the Blood Crows. A thick stench of blood permeated the air.
The huge body of the Blood Crow King lay on the ground, torn to pieces.
Not far away from the Blood Crow King, there was a person inspecting the Shadow Demon's corpse. The other nine people were all emitting a dense killing Qi.
Some were cleaning their sabers, some were meditating, and some were looking around at the scenery. Everyone seemed to be very casual.
A man in black walked over to the Shadow Demon's side. He said to the person inspecting the corpse, "Senior Brother Lu, can we set off now?"
This team was the elite team of ten led by Lu Chen. Lu Chen smiled at the person behind him, "Big Brother Pang, there is no need to be anxious. This is our first time meeting a Shadow Demon. It is better to study it first."
Liu Ruyue slowly walked over and said worriedly, "I suspect that the moment we entered this sub-space, the Blood Demon General already sensed us. I believe that every team met with an ambush."
Lu Chen's handsome face did not reveal any astonishment. He said, "This sub-space is the incarnation of the Blood Demon General. There is no need to guess. Everyone must have been attacked."
Liu Ruyue frowned slightly, "You do not seem worried at all. The Blood Crows are not ordinary Rank 4 Demonic Beasts. Furthermore, there is the Shadow Demon controlling them."
Lu Chen muttered to himself for a while before slowly taking out a piece of metal from the Shadow Demon's heart. The piece of metal was covered in black incantations. A black aura lingered around it.
Lu Chen did not reply to Liu Ruyue's question. He revealed a surprised smile and said, "Interesting, so this is how the Blood Demons control their subordinates."
Lu Chen put away the piece of metal and stood up. He said, "Senior Sister Ruyue, your disciple has the Divine Flame Talisman you gave him. He will be fine. The others are meant to be cannon fodder. There is no need to worry."
When Lu Chen said this, his expression was incomparably calm. It was as though he was talking about an insignificant matter. The hundreds of core disciples were like ants in his eyes.
Originally, it was only a few dozen kilometers before they could reach the forest. However, Xiao Chen and the others had to walk for half a day before they arrived at the entrance of the forest with great difficulty.
Everyone finally understood what Yun Kexin meant when she said they could not exhaust their Essence at any time.
Along the way, they bumped into a group of Demonic Beasts every ten minutes. These Demonic Beasts were at least Rank 5, which was equivalent to a peak Martial Saint.
Furthermore, in this strange space, the strength of the Demonic Beasts were at least one or two times stronger than in the Tianwu Continent. It was very troublesome to deal with them.
However, these were not the most important things. The most troublesome thing was that there were six injured people who had just regained their mobility. For the sake of taking care of these injured people, Xiao Chen and the other two nearly died along the way.
Mu Heng tossed Gao Xiang, who was on his back, to the ground. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We finally arrived at this lousy forest. I really do not want to carry this rotten person anymore."
"Ye Chen, thank you." The six injured people said in embarrassment. Along the way, the six of them could be said to be a burden. They knew this in their hearts.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "We are all from the same sect. Now, we are companions. There is no need to thank us for helping each other."
To Xiao Chen, there was indeed no need to thank them. Although he was not a good person, he would not abandon this group of people if it was within his capabilities.
Looking at Zhang Lie, who was recovering his Essence, Xiao Chen did not disturb him. He said to Mu Heng, "You keep an eye on them first. I'll go check out the forest first."
Mu Heng nodded, "Go on then. Be careful."
There was no one walking in the dark forest. There were all sorts of shrubs and weeds everywhere; there was not a single complete path.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense turned into rings of light and spread out. Then, he looked around carefully. As his cultivation of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation deepened, Xiao Chen had gained some insight into the usage of his Spiritual Sense.
In an instant, Xiao Chen saw everything within a thousand meters. There was not a single Demonic Beast within a thousand meters.
He could not even feel the aura of a Demonic Beast. The surroundings were very quiet; there was no movement in the air at all.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense and jumped down from a tree. He muttered, "Strange, why is it so quiet?"
Executing the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, Xiao Chen decided to take a look personally. There were some things that he had to see for himself before he could feel them.
Xiao Chen's figure turned into a flood dragon, tearing through the water-like air. Xiao Chen charged through the forest, swinging the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand.
Strands of saber Qi shattered the shrubs in front of him, forcibly carving out a path.
Xiao Chen did not care about the commotion he caused. He paced back and forth in the quiet forest. However, there was no reaction from any Demonic Beasts.
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at his surroundings again. Like before, there was no movement at all. "Never mind, I'll leave it as it is. It is good that there are no Demonic Beasts. The others should recover their combat prowess after resting for a night."
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen executed the Lightning Evasion. A bolt of lightning streaked through the air. In an instant, he arrived at the entrance of the forest.
Seeing Xiao Chen walk out of the forest, Zhang Lie, who had already recovered most of his Essence, got up and asked, "How was it? What's the situation in there?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "It is a little strange. I did not see any Demonic Beasts. It is too quiet. Everyone, be careful when you enter."
Zhang Lie smiled and said, "It is good that it is quiet. I am here to kill Demons. In the end, I did not even see any Demons. Now, when I see Demonic Beasts, I get a headache."
Under Xiao Chen's lead, the group was led into the forest. After they settled down, they anxiously treated their injuries.
After a long time, according to real time, it was already midnight. However, in this strange space, the scarlet full moon hung in the sky.
