How would an ordinary person feel when being targeted by a vicious wolf?
Absolutely horrifying.
That was what Chen Zong was feeling right now.
The Bloodthirsty Iron Scale Beast's eyes were cold and cruel, enough to scare a Martial Disciple to death. The terrifying and tyrannical aura rushed towards Chen Zong, causing his entire body to feel numb. The power of his blood and Qi also became sluggish, as if it was about to stop.
Holding the sword in his hand tightly, the sword vibrated slightly and made a melodious sound. The mysterious sword tip in the space between his eyebrows vibrated slightly, and a silver dragon circled around. Chen Zong's spirit and willpower became more condensed, resisting the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast's cold and cruel eyes.
The third stage of the True Sword Skill was activated to the extreme, and his Qi and blood power accelerated again.
The third stage of the True Sword Skill, which was beyond the highest level of the Human Realm, was not inferior to the fourth stage of the highest level of the Human Realm.
His Qi and blood were like swords, and a kind of sharpness was hidden in his body, which made Chen Zong's Qi and blood more condensed.
The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast suddenly rushed towards Chen Zong with its sharp claws, tearing the air apart. The danger of death was approaching, and a shadow was descending.
His cultivation was the lowest, so why would the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast target him?
Without much time to think, Chen Zong immediately performed the Wind Stepping Steps to back away from the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Huang Biao and the other two rushing towards the Blood Essence Fruit Tree.
It turned out that the three of them had already discussed in secret. Their attack just now was just a feint, and did not cause any harm to the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast. In comparison, Chen Zong's attack was the most direct, which angered the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast and made him its target. It also meant that the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast was not very smart.
Thinking about it, Chen Zong immediately realized that he had fallen into their trap. He was annoyed, but he could only think of a way to get out.
"You want to use me to attract the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast so that you can get the Blood Essence Fruit. What a good idea. Unfortunately, I won't let you get what you want." Thinking to himself, Chen Zong performed the Wind Stepping Steps again, and narrowly avoided the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast's attack.
Combining the footwork of the Eight Forms of the True Sword with his body, he bent his waist and passed by the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scaled Beast before using the Wind Stepping Steps.
The reason why Monstrous Beasts were more powerful than Martial Artists was not only because of their tyrannical physique, but also because of their tyrannical aura, which could fiercely intimidate Martial Artists. Once a Monstrous Beast could withstand the impact of that tyrannical aura, its disadvantage would be reduced.
The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast had a large body, so it wasn't as agile as Chen Zong when it turned around, but it wasn't that much weaker. It immediately turned around and chased after Chen Zong. As it ran, it fiercely collided with Chen Zong, and its sharp fangs pierced towards Chen Zong like swords.
The ground was shaking. The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast was like a beam of red light, rushing straight at Chen Zong. The terrifying killing intent made Chen Zong shiver and his pores open.
One step, two steps, three steps …
Four steps …
The intense sense of danger made Chen Zong's hair stand on end. It also made his willpower more condensed than ever, as if something had been broken.
The fifth step!
He took a step forward, and as if he had been blown by the wind, he flew up like a bird and landed on the Blood Essence Fruit Tree.
Stepping into the Realm of Refinement!
Not only could he take the fifth step, but he could also fly a few meters in the blink of an eye, as if he was riding the wind.
The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast rushed over from below, but it couldn't stop its momentum and directly crashed into a withered tree. The tree was smashed into pieces, but it was unharmed.
Chen Zong drew his sword and slashed at Huang Biao. He used the Lesser Dragon-subduing Hand to slap at Meng Yuanchong, and kicked Xiao Wei continuously.
At this moment, whether it was Huang Biao, Meng Yuanchong, or Xiao Wei, they had all picked a Blood Essence Fruit. Just as they were about to pick the second one, they were suddenly attacked by Chen Zong. They immediately defended and counterattacked.
Chen Zong looked down at Meng Yuanchong with an even stronger aura. Meng Yuanchong blocked his palm and fell down. Xiao Wei's skill was better, and he intertwined his two blades and slashed at Chen Zong's legs. Huang Biao shattered the sword light with his blade and directly slashed at Chen Zong.
The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast rushed over again with Meng Yuanchong as its target. It smelled the scent of Blood Essence Fruit on Meng Yuanchong.
Chen Zong's legs landed on the ground, and he lightly tapped on the branches with the tip of his foot. His body seemed to be blown by the wind, and he moved to the side to avoid Huang Biao and Xiao Wei's blade attacks. He reached out his hand and grabbed a Blood Essence Fruit.
Meng Yuanchong rushed to the top of the Blood Essence Fruit Tree. Chen Zong slashed his sword down, and Meng Yuanchong landed on the ground again. The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast had already rushed over. Meng Yuanchong was so scared that his hair stood on end. He immediately used his footwork and ran forward.
The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast was also attracted by Meng Yuanchong.
No matter what, the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast was not here, so everyone could safely pick the Blood Essence Fruit.
Attack, attack, attack!
The second Blood Essence Fruit fell into Chen Zong's hands. Huang Biao and Xiao Wei also picked their second Blood Essence Fruit. There were still two Blood Essence Fruits left.
"Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword!"
Exploding with ten percent of his physique and blood energy, he did not aim to injure the enemy. He only needed to use the strong light and shadows to interfere with the enemy's vision. As expected, Xiao Wei's eyes were completely white, unable to see anything. With a flick of his longsword, the Blood Essence Fruit flew into Chen Zong's hand.
At the same time, he kicked out, breaking the branch with the last Blood Essence Fruit. Huang Biao's hand reached out and grabbed nothing.
Chen Zong quickly landed on the ground. He flicked his sword up and performed the Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword again. The bright light and shadow attacked Huang Biao, and his eyes were completely white. He could not see anything.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Zong picked the last Blood Essence Fruit. He now had four Blood Essence Fruits in his hands.
He performed the Wind Step Steps, and covered four meters with one step. In a blink of an eye, he had covered twenty meters with five steps. His body jumped into the air like he was riding the wind, and landed on a dead tree a few meters away. He then kicked hard and rushed forward.
"Damn it!"
"Go!"
Huang Biao and Xiao Wei were furious.
They actually allowed a Qi and Blood Realm sixth stage cultivator to pluck four Blood Essence Fruits right under their noses, which was equivalent to the sum of the two of them combined. That "let's rely on our own abilities" was like a huge slap to their faces, causing them to turn green, red, and white.
They used their movement techniques and chased after him.
Chen Zong's understanding of the Wind Step Steps had deepened after reaching the Refinement Realm. The amount of Qi and Blood Essence he used to perform it was less than when he was at the Perfection Realm. Every step he took was lighter and more agile, and his speed had increased by at least thirty percent.
In the past, with his Qi and Blood Realm Level Six cultivation, he could only perform the Perfection Realm Wind Step Steps seven to eight times in a row. Now, he could perform the Refinement Realm Wind Step Steps at least ten times.
Moreover, the essence of the Wind Step Steps was integrated into his normal speed. Even if he did not use Qi and Blood Essence, Chen Zong's body was lighter and faster than before.
Huang Biao and Xiao Wei burst into full speed. After all, their cultivation levels were higher than Chen Zong's, so their speed was not slow at all.
"Save me …" A voice rang out. It was Meng Yuanchong, who was running towards them. His face was pale, and he seemed to be injured. Behind him was the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast.
Seeing Chen Zong, Meng Yuanchong's face was filled with hatred, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Meng Yuanchong and the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast were in front of him, and the furious Huang Biao and Xiao Wei were behind him. Chen Zong was in danger.
Without hesitation, Chen Zong took out a Blood Essence Fruit and threw it to Xiao Wei and Huang Biao. With a flash of his sword, the Blood Essence Fruit was split into two. A strong smell of blood mixed with a sweet fragrance permeated the air.
Huang Biao and Xiao Wei instinctively reached out to grab it. Even if it was only half a fruit, it would still bring them some benefits after consuming it.
Without any hesitation, the two of them directly swallowed half of the Blood Essence Fruit. Otherwise, the Blood Essence Fruit would be quickly lost and become useless.
However, the Bloodthirsty Iron Scale Beast directly gave up on Meng Yuanchong and charged towards Huang Biao and Xiao Wei. Although its brain wasn't very good, it could clearly see that the two of them had swallowed the Blood Essence Fruit, which was its own.
Huang Biao and Xiao Wei's expressions changed greatly. They quickly attacked the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast with their swords.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Zong got away.
Meng Yuanchong's sword flashed in front of his eyes. It was extremely sharp, giving Chen Zong the feeling that it could even pierce through steel.
"Get lost!" With a low shout, Chen Zong swung his long sword. It was like a sudden clap of thunder. A terrible force exploded, directly shattering the sword light. Then, he used his left hand to press hard on Meng Yuanchong's chest.
The Perfection Stage of Lesser Dragon-Subduing Hand!
Overbearing, fierce, and powerful. His palm shot out like a dragon's roar, which made the already injured Meng Yuanchong's spirit waver. Unable to resist, Meng Yuanchong's body swayed and retreated. He sat down on his butt. His face became even paler and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Like a gust of wind, he rushed in front of Meng Yuanchong. Just as he was about to force him to take out the Blood Essence Fruit, Huang Biao and Xiao Wei went around the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast and chased after him. Chen Zong could only give up and use the Wind Stepping Steps again. The Bloodthirsty Iron-Scale Beast was even more furious. It almost spat out fire and chased after the two.
Seizing the opportunity, he quickly left.
"Chen Zong, you and I are irreconcilable." Xiao Wei and Huang Biao's angry roars came from afar.
…
Rushing out of the Dark Blood Mountain, Chen Zong let out a sigh of relief. However, he did not relax and continued to move forward at high speed. Only when he was far enough away did he stop to take a rest. He took Energy Pills and Beast Blood Pills to recover his strength.
Energy Pills were fine, but Beast Blood Pills were not for cultivation. If he only wanted to recover his strength, he should not take too many of them. Taking too many would leave behind impurities in his body that were difficult to remove.
However, in comparison, Chen Zong did not have this concern.
The higher the level of the cultivation method, the stronger its ability to remove impurities. The True Sword Heavenly Skill, which was above the Human Level, had an unquestionable ability to remove impurities.
With the combination of the cultivation method and Beast Blood Pills, it did not take long for his strength to be completely restored.
Exhaling, Chen Zong was filled with joy.
"Three Blood Essence Fruits. Deducting one from the submission, the other two are mine." Chen Zong muttered to himself with a smile on his face.
The Grade 7 Blood Essence Fruit contained the pure power of blood essence. It had a great effect on one's vitality. If he consumed and refined it, his cultivation would definitely improve significantly.
"Two Blood Essence Fruits. Even if I can't break through to Qi Blood Realm Level Seven, I'll probably be able to reach the peak of Qi Blood Realm Level Six. When that time comes, I'll enter the Boiling Blood Pool to cultivate. Maybe I'll be able to break through to Level Seven," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Qi Blood Realm Level Seven and Level Six were two different concepts. The increase in strength was no longer 500 kilograms, but 2000 kilograms.
Chen Zong pondered. If his cultivation reached Qi Blood Realm Level Seven, he estimated that he would be able to fight a Qi Blood Realm Level Eight head-on without relying on anything else. It would undoubtedly be a significant improvement.
