After making up his mind, Xiao Chen circulated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art as he fought. Instantly, all the bones in his body started to crackle.
A layer of golden light slowly appeared on the surface of his body. The power of the tiger and dragon slowly formed. Xiao Chen suddenly stopped his move and did not dodge the attack of a Shadow Demon.
When the Shadow Demon saw that Xiao Chen's movements suddenly slowed down, it thought that his Essence could not keep up and an opening appeared. A sinister smile appeared on its face, and its five sharp fingers quickly stabbed forward.
"Keng Qiang!"
The sharp fingers immediately tore through Xiao Chen's clothes. However, when they made contact with his flesh, they gave off a metallic sound and were unable to advance any further.
How can this be? The Shadow Demon thought it was very strange.
Although this attack did not pierce into Xiao Chen's heart, it shook his heart, affecting his internal organs. Xiao Chen endured the feeling of his Qi and blood surging.
Xiao Chen suddenly shouted and the image of a tiger and dragon flew out from his body. The tiger and dragon roared, and in an instant, his entire body was filled with a horrifying force.
"Ferocious Tiger Leaving the Mountains!"
There was a tiger's roar. Before the Shadow Demon could retreat, its head was crushed by Xiao Chen's horrifying punch of six thousand kilograms of force; it was dead.
Seeing the remaining Shadow Demon and Blood Corpse rushing over to save the situation, Xiao Chen smiled coldly. The Qi whirlpool in his Dantian spun twice.
A surging and pure lightning-attributed Essence flowed through his meridians and into the snow-white blade of the Lunar Shadow Saber. A resplendent purple light flickered in the dark forest; it was very dazzling.
"Drawing the Saber!"
This was the first time Xiao Chen infused the pure state of thunder into the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique. Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder roared endlessly; it was like a huge army galloping.
Xiao Chen's original attribute was the lightning attribute. After he advanced to Martial Saint, the Essence in his body had completely turned into the purest lightning-attributed Essence.
In such a state, when Xiao Chen used the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique, the strength he could bring out was even stronger than the Lingyun Saber Technique, which required the state of mountains and the state of clouds.
Three bolts of lightning tore through the night sky and gathered on Xiao Chen's saber. Xiao Chen's figure flashed in the air and the other Shadow Demon was instantly chopped in half.
The Essence containing the state of thunder still flickered in the wound, not disappearing even after a long time.
Arclight Slash!
Xiao Chen did not stop moving. Thunder roared in the sky again. Xiao Chen's saber moved in an arc in the air, chopping the fleeing blood corpse in half; it could not resist at all.
Soaring Heaven Slash!
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and pointed his Lunar Shadow Saber at the sky. Then, he soared into the sky. There was nothing fancy about it, but it carried an indomitable and boundless aura.
"Chi!
Chi! Chi! "Xiao Chen's body was like a bolt of lightning, flashing in the air. With a 'shua' sound, the three Shadow Demons surrounding Mu Heng and the others were pierced through, dying in that instant.
Xiao Chen's body paused in the air, and the unceasing rumbling of thunder suddenly stopped. It was like the calm before the storm; it was extremely quiet in an instant.
"Rushing Thunder Chop!" Xiao Chen shouted. He held his saber with both hands and chopped down at the blood corpse surrounding Yun Kexin.
"Pu Ci!"
A resplendent saber light tore through the water-like air and appeared above the blood corpse's head.
In the next moment, the intense electric light on the saber light exploded. There was a clap of thunder that was even more intense than any of the previous ones. With a 'shua' sound, the blood corpse was chopped in half by this horrifying saber strike. Then, the electric light blasted it into nothing.
The Rushing Thunder Second Chain Chop, the energy accumulated from the four moves of the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique was unleashed without any restraint. The Shadow Demon that Xiao Chen struck did not even have the chance to cry out miserably. The Shadow Demon that was struck by Xiao Chen was immediately chopped into a pool of blood.
The remaining Shadow Demon was horrified. It decisively gave up on attacking Yun Kexin. Its body turned into a clump of black smoke and quickly flew backward.
"Trying to run? Do you think you can?" Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and snorted coldly as he watched the fleeing Shadow Demon.
A boundless purple flame started to burn in Xiao Chen's right eye. With one glance, it looked like a sea of flames.
The blazing flames started to slowly gather together. Finally, they gathered into a clump and formed a strange purple flame in Xiao Chen's right eye.
"Purple Thunder True Fire, shoot!"
The strange purple flame formed a purple arrow in the air. It was like a shooting star, silently catching up to the Shadow Demon that had already fled a thousand meters away.
"Explode!"
A horrifying explosion came from the distance. The purple flame suddenly flashed, and the origin of lightning in the flame blossomed. Countless arcs of electricity filled the entire space.
Aside from Yun Kexin, everyone else was dumbfounded when they saw this. They did not dare believe this was real.
Xiao Chen stood still and withdrew his hand. He had already expected the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique to be very strong after it grasped the state of thunder. However, he was still shocked at its might.
He believed that if he completely grasped this Saber Technique, aside from some peak late stage Martial Saints, no one within the Martial Saint realm would be his match.
Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen turned his head and discovered Gao Xiang clutching his chest. He was lying on the ground in pain. His lips were black and he was trembling non-stop. These were the symptoms of being poisoned.
Xiao Chen quickly walked over and asked Zhang Lie, "What's going on with him?"
Zhang Lie had an extremely sad expression on his face. His voice trembled as he explained what happened to Xiao Chen.
It turned out that when the Shadow Demon suddenly attacked, Gao Xiang, who was the slowest among the three of them, had yet to recover from his injuries. As a result, he was immediately stabbed in the chest by the sharp fingers of a Shadow Demon.
Originally, the wound was not very deep. At first, Gao Xiang did not pay much attention to it. He often went out for experiential training and had encountered many similar wounds. With the physique of a cultivator, this was not a fatal wound.
However, he did not expect the Shadow Demon's attack to contain a slow-acting poison. By the time he reacted, the poison had already spread throughout his body, and he was unable to force it out.
Mu Heng asked from the side, "Ye Chen, do you have a solution?"
Xiao Chen shook his head. In the Compendium of Cultivation, there was a Medicinal Pill that could cure hundreds of poisons. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen did not have the time to refine it. It was impossible for him to find a Cultivation Technique.
Maybe Yun Kexin has a solution, this thought suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. This feeling was very strange; it was purely a feeling of intuition.
Yun Kexin had rushed over a long time ago. However, she was observing Gao Xiang's situation from the side. She did not say anything. At this moment, she felt Xiao Chen's gaze.
She shook her head and said, "I do have a Rank 6 Detoxification Pill. However, the poison has already permeated his bones and heart vessels. Unless someone from the Medical Sage Clan comes personally, or an Immortal Grade Holy Herb that is at least a thousand years old, there is no way to save him."
When Gao Xiang heard this, his pained face slowly revealed a gentle expression. He smiled bitterly, "I started cultivating at the age of six. I entered the Heavenly Saber Pavilion at the age of sixteen. Now, I am twenty-six and am already a Medial Grade Martial Saint. I am not satisfied to die like this!"
It was like the final radiance of a setting sun. The pained expression on Gao Xiang's face suddenly vanished. His complexion started to turn rosy. He took off the bag on his back and handed it to Zhang Lie.
He muttered, "These are the Demonic Cores that I obtained along the way. I originally thought I could exchange them for some Medial Grade Spirit Stones after I got out and raise my cultivation to peak Medial Grade Martial Saint. Now, I can only let you guys benefit from it."
"The path of a cultivator has always been rugged. Everyone who has taken this path should have expected such a day. My misfortune should serve as a reminder to all of you. No matter when you fight, you cannot be careless. "
After Gao Xiang spoke, his eyes revealed a look of determination. In the next moment, he circulated the last of his Essence and shattered his heart, dying from it.
Gao Xiang chose to end his own life. This was a somewhat tragic way of dying.
Gao Xiang's death caused everyone to feel melancholy. While they felt pity and sorrow, they also thought of themselves.
In the Tianwu Continent, the strong were revered. In the eyes of the strong, the weak were like ants. If they wanted to kill them, they could do so at will. If they were unhappy, they could trample on your dignity.
Under such cruel circumstances, every cultivator would use all sorts of methods to cultivate diligently and diligently, in order to pursue the path of the strong.
However, this path was too difficult. Aside from having to face all sorts of open and secret fights, they also had to be careful during experiential training to avoid dying in the hands of Demonic Beasts.
Life was too fragile on this path. This mission was also a form of experiential training. However, in the end, before they even reached the halfway point, six people in the group had already lost their lives.
Xiao Chen casually sent out a clump of Purple Thunder True Fire and covered Gao Xiang's corpse. The corpse immediately started burning.
Burying the corpse in the forest had already been proven to be a mistake. It would only be used by the enemy. Hence, no one felt that Xiao Chen's actions were inappropriate.
When Yun Kexin saw Gao Xiang's burning corpse, an undetectable, complicated look flashed in her eyes. However, it disappeared in a flash; no one noticed it.
After a while, Yun Kexin said calmly, "Rest for an hour. After that, we will continue on our way."
Similar massacres were taking place in other places in the forest.
Murong Chong's figure moved erratically in the air, creating a cool breeze. After a while, a saber light flashed and a scarlet-clothed man was chopped into pieces.
The Blood Demon's body, which could have merged back together, could no longer do so. It had turned into a corpse.
Murong Chong's stern face was expressionless as he wiped off the blood on his saber. Then, he sheathed his saber with a 'shua' sound.
The Blood Demon's corpse on the ground exploded, turning into pools of blood that shot into the air.
Behind Murong Chong, there were two members of the Blood Demon. Their lips had turned black and their expressions were unsightly as they fell to the ground. They had also been inflicted with the Shadow Demon's slow-acting poison. It had spread throughout their entire body; there was no way to save them.
"Senior Brother Murong, do you have any way to save my Junior Brother? He is about to die," a Gangyu Peak disciple said anxiously.
Murong Chong shook his head and did not say anything. He carefully put away the Demon Core that the Blood Demon left behind. Then, he hugged his saber and sat to the side. He closed his eyes and recovered his strength.
