"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "A few more people were severely injured by the high-ranked Blood Demon. One of them was especially severely injured.
The Blood Demon's sharp hand had already grasped the other party's heart. All it would take was a little more force to crush it.
Fortunately, Wu Quan managed to save the other party in time. The instant the Blood Demon was about to succeed, Wu Quan chopped off the other party's head with his heavy sword. It was truly a critical moment.
In the blink of an eye, someone had died. Xiao Chen had taken on the role of a medic.
In the end, with one high-ranked Blood Demon dead, the remaining one would be easier to deal with. However, Ping Xingteng had been careless and allowed the other party to escape.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to chase after the Blood Demon. They could only watch as the heavily injured Blood Demon fled.
After this battle, Xiao Chen had gained a few points and a high-ranked Demon Core. That was a pretty good value.
However, when compared to the price he had paid, he could not smile anymore. Five people were heavily injured and could not fight for at least three days. The others were also injured to varying degrees.
Aside from Xiao Chen, the others were all injured. They were both physically and mentally fatigued. They could only end the day like this.
Wu Quan looked at the dispirited crowd and felt somewhat heavy in his heart. The price was too high.
Xiao Chen was right. The inner area was not a place they could survive. Even the outer area was not good. The difference in strength was clear.
"Xingteng, dig out the Demon Core and leave this place quickly. This place is too dangerous. Go to the outpost islets."
Wu Quan collected his thoughts and stopped blaming himself. He checked everyone's injuries and instructed Ping Xingteng.
Ping Xingteng had an unsightly expression. He sighed and walked over to the high-ranked Blood Demon's corpse.
As Xiao Chen was taking care of an injured person, he suddenly frowned. Someone was coming.
The thing that he worried about the most had finally happened!
"Hehe! We are really lucky today. The battle just ended, and we already picked up a fat sheep. Leave behind the high-ranked Blood Demon's corpse, and you can leave!"
Suddenly, a team of seven or eight people walked over from a hundred meters in front. The leader was a middle-aged swordsman over forty years old. He had a sinister gaze and a long and narrow face.
A tyrannical aura spread out from this person's body. With this person's special support, the scarlet water on the surface of the sea rippled and spread out in all directions.
As a swordsman, Wu Quan felt a strong pressure. He revealed a horrified expression. Unexpectedly, this person was a half-step Martial Monarch expert.
At this moment, Ping Xingteng had just dug out a Superior Grade Demon Core. He said angrily, "We spent a lot of effort to kill them. Do you think we will give them to you with just a word?"
The swordsman's gaze turned cold. He sneered, "You want to negotiate with me? Very well. Not only do you have to hand over the high quality Monster Core, you have to leave behind your Space Rings as well. Otherwise, none of you can leave."
Kacha kacha!
The people behind the swordsman immediately drew their weapons and looked at the crowd with hostile gazes. Everyone immediately tensed up.
His eyes were filled with deep unwillingness. He really could not enter the inner area. Not only would he not be able to obtain the monster cores that he had painstakingly killed, now even the wealth that he had accumulated over the years would be taken away.
"Hand it over, you!"
The swordsman took two steps forward and tried to grab the Superior Grade Demon Core in Ping Xingteng's hand.
Ping Xingteng cursed, "Screw off! I nearly died to obtain this. It would be strange if I gave it to you."
Ping Xingteng withdrew his hand and drew his saber. A saber light soared into the sky and hacked at the swordsman.
"You overestimate yourself!"
The swordsman shouted angrily when he saw the ignorant Ping Xingteng. He stomped heavily on the scarlet sea, and the surface of the sea surged up.
Ping Xingteng could not stand stably due to the surging waves. His saber light deviated and struck the swordsman's left, kicking up a huge scarlet wave.
"Xiu!"
A bright light flashed in the middle of the scarlet water. The swordsman had drawn his sword. The sword light tore through the scarlet water and flicked gently, knocking away Ping Xingteng's saber.
The sword trembled and a drawn-out sword hum resounded. When the sword light spat out, the scarlet water in the air split in half. Then, the sword pierced towards Ping Xingteng's chest.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
"Dang!"
Wu Quan's figure flashed forward and knocked Ping Xingteng aside. Then, he held his heavy sword horizontally in front of him, helping to block this sword strike.
A surging sword Qi came from the sword, causing Wu Quan's internal organs to churn. He felt something sweet in his throat, and he nearly vomited a mouthful of hot blood.
Wu Quan forcefully suppressed his hot-bloodedness and said indifferently, "Senior, you can take the Superior Grade Demon Core and I will give you a thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Can you let us leave first?"
"Who do you think you are to negotiate with me? If you are not strong enough, don't come to the inner area."
The swordsman snorted coldly and pressed his sword forward. A huge force came, and Wu Quan could no longer block it. He vomited a mouthful of blood and flew back.
Logically speaking, there was indeed a gap between Wu Quan and this swordsman. However, the gap was not that big.
Xiao Chen had exhausted his Essence and had not recovered from his internal injuries. Hence, he was easily defeated by the swordsman in two moves.
"Pa!"
A gentle force landed on Wu Quan's back, neutralizing all the force in his body. Then, he landed firmly on the water. Xiao Chen had made a move.
When Wu Quan landed on the water, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Your Movement Technique is good. Don't bother about us. Leave by yourself!"
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly and took out a Medicinal Pill for Wu Quan. Then, he raised his hand and sent Wu Quan to the reef.
Wu Quan was horrified to discover that the force from Xiao Chen was so strong that he could not resist at all.
Ping Xingteng, who had picked up his saber, looked at the approaching Xiao Chen. His eyes were filled with shock.
"Xiao Chen, why aren't you running? Why are you sending yourself to death? With that Saber Technique of yours, don't embarrass yourself. Scram!"
Ping Xingteng was speechless. He thought to himself, There must be something wrong with this fellow's intelligence. Since his Movement Technique is so good, why is he still here?
However, what surprised Ping Xingteng was that the swordsman in front did not make a move immediately. When he saw Xiao Chen slowly walking over, his expression turned grave.
Ping Xingteng seemed to hear the hum of a saber in the other party's eyes. When he used his Essence, he was startled.
Xiao Chen was clearly only a peak Medial Grade Martial King. However, the purity and breadth of his Essence seemed to be stronger than Ping Xingteng's.
There was only one explanation. This youth could be a genius disciple of a super sect. He had used countless natural treasures and cultivated the peak Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique, or even higher.
"Might I ask Little Brother, what is your name and which sect you are from?"
The swordsman decided to ask around first. If Xiao Chen was a genius disciple of a super sect, even if Xiao Chen could defeat him, it would not be worth it to offend the power behind him.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm. However, at some point in time, his right hand was already on the hilt of the Lunar Shadow Saber hanging at his waist.
Xiao Chen replied indifferently, "Brat, Xiao Chen, you are not from a sect. If you are not satisfied, you will have to pay a price. You can take this Superior Grade Demon Core. However, don't have any other ideas."
A faint smile appeared on the swordsman's face. Since Xiao Chen is not from a sect, it is easy to deal with him. However, I have to test him first. So, he made a gesture with his left hand behind his back.
"You are just a Medial Grade Martial King. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with our boss?"
One of the swordsman's subordinates immediately understood. He grasped his saber tightly and released a sharp saber light. Then, he took a step forward and hacked down at Xiao Chen's head.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. When he used his Spiritual Sense to scan the swordsman, he had already seen through all of his opponent's tricks.
Xiao Chen's right hand, which was on the hilt of his saber, drew it out by one centimeter. "Weng!" The saber hummed and an unparalleled saber intent poured out wantonly.
The swordsman's opponent's sharp saber trembled continuously under the influence of this inextinguishable saber intent. That swordsman was horrified to discover that he could no longer control the saber in his hand.
That swordsman quickly stopped and grasped the saber hilt with both hands. However, it was all for naught. There was another melodious saber hum and that saber flew out of his hand, flying into the air.
The long sabers in the hands of the other people were immediately drawn into the air by the Saber Intent and started to spin non-stop.
The smile on the swordsman's face froze. Shock filled his eyes as he said in astonishment, "Saber intent! He comprehended saber intent at such a young age! How is this possible?!"
"Ka ca!"
There was a crisp sound and the saber that Xiao Chen had drawn out by one centimeter returned to its scabbard. The weapons that were flying in the air immediately fell into the sea, splashing up blood as they sank.
Xiao Chen had used only half a move to defeat his opponent's sudden attack. The appearance of his saber intent shocked everyone present!
Ping Xingteng could not believe his eyes. He rubbed them hard and discovered that everything was real.
That white-robed youth who had not drawn his saber all this while had not only exquisite Saber Techniques, but they had also materialized Ping Xingteng's carelessness.
Ping Xingteng was far superior to Ping Xingteng. Ping Xingteng thought back to his shameless boasting about teaching Xiao Chen how to use the saber. Now that he thought about it, there was nothing more stupid than that.
It was not that Xiao Chen's intelligence was lacking. Rather, it was that Ping Xingteng's intelligence was lacking. Just thinking about it made him feel like an idiot.
Suddenly, Ping Xingteng startled awake. His saber had fallen into the sea. If he did not pick it up now, he would not be able to.
Ping Xingteng quickly stuck his hand into the water and used his Essence to fiddle with it. That saber had been with him for many years. It was his second life; he could not lose it.
Ping Xingteng relied on the subtle connection he had with the saber over the years to pull it up. However, before he could rejoice, he cried out in pain.
It turned out that Ping Xingteng's fiddling had attracted some of the strange fish in the sea. They swam over with the saber and bit off a few pieces of flesh on his arm. The pain was heart-wrenching.
However, no one noticed Ping Xingteng at this moment. No one had seen this embarrassing thing.
The swordsman calmed down. A cultivator with saber intent and a storage of Essence that was no weaker than his was already capable of fighting him. Xiao Chen's chances of victory were only fifty-fifty.
"Let's go!"
The swordsman put away the Superior Grade Demon Core and snorted coldly. Then, he turned around and left.
"Xiu!"
However, the swordsman had only taken half a step when he drew his sword. Then, he spun around and swung his sword upwards, sending a sharp light at Xiao Chen's neck.
