The life of a cultivator was like that of an ant. If they were not strong, they could only be used as cannon fodder by others. Murong Chong thought to himself. Hence, aside from becoming strong, he had no other choice. Otherwise, he would end up like these people.
On a cliff, in a majestic palace, on a blood-red throne. The Blood Demon General, who was wearing a scarlet cloak, held a golden wine cup in his hand. He sat expressionlessly on the throne.
If one looked carefully, the Blood Demon General's appearance was not much different from that of a human youth. However, his scarlet eyes were filled with a boundless killing intent on his pale face, causing one to tremble in fear.
Below the great hall, there were twelve tall pillars on both sides. Ten Blood Demons wearing scarlet clothes stood on both sides of the pillars.
The Blood Demon General brought the golden wine cup to his lips and took a sip, leaving a scarlet mark on his lips.
It turned out that this was not some fine wine. It was a cup of scarlet human blood. It was very likely that it was left behind by the captured disciples of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
The Blood Demon General wiped the blood off his lips and revealed an intoxicated expression. He said indifferently, "What delicious human blood. I have not tasted it in this space for more than twenty years." "Dang!
Dang! "
Suddenly, a Blood Demon covered in blood walked over anxiously from the great hall. When he walked forward, he knelt before the throne.
He said respectfully, "Lord Demon General, the Shadow Demons that we sent out have been completely annihilated. According to your instructions, I sent out all the Blood Demons in the palace six hours ago. "
"Because Lord Demon General was in closed-door cultivation, I could only inform you now."
The Blood Demon General revealed a faint smile. He placed the golden wine cup on the table beside the throne and said indifferently, "No matter, it is within my expectations. Dogs. I did not expect it to be of any use. Why bother being a projection? They are not even comparable to dogs, all the more I would not care. "
"You may withdraw first. You have done well. As long as you can block that group of people for one day and wait for the ceremony to be over, everything else will be fine."
The person kneeling on the ground quickly got up and left the great hall after thanking the Blood Demon General.
The Blood Demon General picked up the wine cup again. There was a frightening light in his scarlet eyes. He drained the cup of blood in one gulp and said coldly, "One day, I only need one day to turn the Heavenly Saber Pavilion back into rubble."
"Is that so? I'm afraid you won't have the chance?" A cold mocking voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
Within the gloomy forest, Xiao Chen's group of four continued forward. The Scarlet Demonic Snake's territory in this forest was very large. Even after walking for an hour, they did not encounter any other demonic beasts.
After walking out of the Scarlet Demonic Snake's territory, they once again encountered various kinds of demonic beasts. The weakest was a rank 5 primary demonic beast. Occasionally, they would encounter a rank 5 intermediate demonic beast.
They even encountered a peak fifth-order demonic beast. Fortunately, it had not yet reached the sixth-order. Although everyone had a hard time fighting it, it could be considered daunting but not dangerous.
Along the way, there were also the constant sneak attacks of various Shadow Demons, causing everyone to be exhausted from dealing with them. It could be said that every step they took was filled with killing intent, and every step they took was extremely dangerous.
As they continued forward, they finally met the master of the Shadow Demon. It was a demonic person made of blood. Its ability to hide itself was even more horrifying than the Shadow Demon's. Its attacks were even more strange and varied.
The most important thing was that its body was a pile of liquid. Ordinary methods would not be able to kill it. Even if one exploded its head or chopped it into pieces, there was nothing to fear.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen's lightning-attributed Essence could restrain it. His Essence contained the state of thunder. After Xiao Chen injured it, the electric light lingered for a long time, preventing it from healing.
Yun Kexin's Heavenly Melody Saber Technique was even more horrifying. When the sound wave entered the Blood Demon's body, it could instantly infuse every drop of blood in the Blood Demon's body, blasting it into nothing.
"Lone Peak Fatal Blow!"
Zhang Lie shouted explosively, and a chain of saber strikes formed a mountain, instantly killing a Shadow Demon. After that, he extracted the Demon Core from its body with a 'shua' sound.
"Senior Sister Yun, how much longer before we can get out?" Zhang Lie asked as he lay down on a tree after he finished what he was doing. His breathing was somewhat hurried.
Along the way, there were endless battles. Aside from the various Demonic Beasts, they also had to be on guard against the sneak attacks of the Shadow Demons and Blood Demons. Everyone was constantly on high alert.
However, the path in the forest seemed endless. No matter how they walked, the scene in front of them was always the same: large patches of black trees.
Even Zhang Lie, who comprehended saber intent and had a stronger mental state than regular cultivators, felt somewhat frustrated.
Yun Kexin tossed an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone to Mu Heng and Zhang Lie. She said, "It will not be long. We are walking in a straight line. We should be able to get out by dusk."
Yun Kexin seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills. After every battle, she would give everyone Medicinal Pills for treating injuries and recovering Essence.
If Yun Kexin exhausted too much Essence, she would just give everyone Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. If it were not for Yun Kexin's resources, even if they wanted to fight, they would not be able to.
Mu Heng sat down cross-legged and smiled faintly, "Just treat it as cultivation. After fighting continuously for a day, I feel that my strength has increased by at least fifty percent.
"I also made some breakthroughs in some Martial Techniques that I could not comprehend normally. The increase in my cultivation is even greater than cultivating in the back mountains for three months."
Indeed, compared to bitter cultivation, one's cultivation would advance much faster when they went through life-and-death experiential training.
However, there were pros and cons to both. Bitter cultivation was stable and did not endanger one's life. Experiential training could increase one's cultivation, but it was too dangerous. There were too many uncertainties.
Overall, both were indispensable. Bitter cultivation and experiential training were not desirable. Only a reasonable arrangement of bitter cultivation and experience could allow one's cultivation to grow at the fastest speed.
"Pu Ci!"
Xiao Chen, who had gone out to scout, jumped down from a tree and said, "We can rest for a while. There are no Demonic Beasts in the surroundings. The closest group of Demonic Beasts is about a thousand meters ahead.
"They are early Rank 5 Demonic Wolves. If they were alone, they would be easy to deal with. Unfortunately, these Demonic Beasts live in packs. There are about five hundred of them. We will have to fight a tough battle later."
Yun Kexin muttered to herself, "Let's do it the same way. The three of us will be responsible for dealing with the Demonic Wolves. Ye Chen will hold the line and prevent the Shadow Demons and Blood Demons from sneak attacking us."
After an hour, the group had already recovered their Essence and started their journey.
"Sweeping Mountain Destroys Clouds!"
Zhang Lie shouted, and a strong wind blew. A mysterious phenomenon appeared, and the continuous saber aura turned into a lone peak, charging at the pack of Rank 5 Demonic Wolves on the ground.
"Horizontal Saber Stance, Seven Stars Transposition!"
Mu Heng was not willing to fall behind. A purple light burst out from his body and he turned into a saber. His figure flickered continuously in the pack of wolves. With each rise and fall, his palm slashed through the air, and a wolf head would be sent flying.
Within the pack of wolves, the huge Wolf King stared at the group with its scarlet eyes as it howled ferociously.
It was like they were in a formation. Every time it howled, the formation of the pack of wolves would change. After a while, under the command of the Wolf King, Zhang Lie and Mu Heng, who were advancing like a hot knife through butter, received an intense counterattack.
As the pack of wolves advanced and retreated, they managed to block the attacks of the two of them. They retaliated without fear of death and even left some wounds on the two of them. "Chi!
Chi! "
There was a piercing sonic boom on the battlefield. A white figure moved in an arc in the air and landed in front of the Wolf King.
The slender saber in Yun Kexin's hand trembled slightly. The huge body of the Wolf King was immediately knocked back. The formation of the pack of wolves immediately turned chaotic. After Yun Kexin delayed the Wolf King, the pressure on Zhang Lie and Mu Heng decreased.
Xiao Chen hugged the Lunar Shadow Saber and closed his eyes. He spread his Spiritual Sense to every corner of the battlefield, especially the surroundings of Yun Kexin and the other two.
They were constantly on guard against the attacks of the Demons. Compared to the Demonic Beasts, these cunning Demons knew how to hide themselves. They were the greatest threat to the group.
"Shua!"
In the world of Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense, a figure that was different from the Demonic Wolves and humans appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. A pool of blood quickly shot towards Yun Kexin from the ground.
Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and executed the Lightning Evasion. A bolt of lightning tore through the dark sky.
Xiao Chen drew his saber with a 'huang dang' sound. The Lunar Shadow Saber lit up with a light that was even more resplendent than the lightning. It was bright and dazzling.
"Pu ci!"
A cold light flashed in the air and the saber stabbed into the pool of blood on the ground. It was so fast that the lightning in the sky did not even have time to disappear.
A miserable shriek came from the ground. The pool of blood on the ground turned into a human figure. It grabbed the Lunar Shadow Saber flickering with electricity with both hands as it roared ferociously.
"Despicable human! Sooner or later, I will eat up all your blood and marrow. I will let you experience the most painful torture in this world."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said softly, "Sorry, you no longer have this chance. Explode!"
The Lunar Shadow Saber stabbed into the Blood Demon's chest suddenly burst out with a horrifying electric light. "Pi li pa la!" There were crackling sounds as the electric snakes danced around.
The Blood Demon's body exploded into tiny blood droplets in the air before finally disappearing.
Suddenly, four Shadow Demons flew over. They quickly launched themselves at Zhang Lie and Mu Heng, who were engaged in an intense battle. The timing of the Shadow Demons was very accurate. It happened to be when the two of them were surrounded by a pack of wolves and could not extricate themselves.
A fierce flame started burning in Xiao Chen's right eye. It condensed into a clump of purple lightning-fire. The flame quickly elongated and turned into a sharp purple arrow.
"Pu ci!"
The arrow was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the air, illuminating the dark forest. It moved faster than the speed of sound and silently pierced through the bodies of the four Shadow Demons.
The Shadow Demons exploded and turned into a black rain of blood, covering the entire sky.
In the palace on the cliff, the Blood Demon General on the throne could not help but be stunned when he heard the sudden mocking.
Unexpectedly, someone managed to hide from his perception and sneak into the palace.
"Pu ci!"
In the great hall, the ten Blood Demons standing on either side of the throne all cried out miserably. Their bodies exploded and turned into a blood mist.
Lu Chen, Liu Ruyue, and the others slowly revealed themselves in the great hall. They released their auras and their gazes were like sharp blades as they stared at the Blood Demon General on the throne.
This was the Dream Demon that once brought disaster to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
When the Blood Demon General saw the ten of them, the corner of his lips curled up. He revealed a faint smile on his pale face, "I was wondering how high your cultivation was to be able to hide from my perception. It turns out you only used an Aura Concealing Talisman."
