Chapter 79 Preparations (Second Update)
"Take the Blood Lotus?" Ye Chen's face flushed with excitement, for the Blood Lotus was a great treasure.
Perhaps influenced by his past life, Ye Chen had a strange curiosity about the Blood Lotus, and that Blood Lotus was exceptionally loud.
"Refining the Martial Realm can barely be tolerated, but whether you can endure that suffering depends on yourself!" Huo Qilin said calmly, pausing for a moment before whispering, "Young one, the Blood Lotus is extremely terrifying to take, but its effects are also remarkably pronounced. Are you certain you want to take it?"
Extremely terrified, Ye Chen slowly shook his head and smiled: "Good things must be taken, but what effect can Xiao Huo have after taking the Blood Bodhi?"
"Improve your cultivation!" Huo Qilin smiled mysteriously and immediately walked out with a light laugh.
It's all because of Bai Le's Huo Qilin's glance, if it weren't for improving cultivation and taking the Blood Bodhi.
"But you have to make yourself faint before taking the Blood Lotus!" Huo Qilin slowly floated towards Ye Chen, then transformed into a stream of light that shot into the Qilin Seal. The surface of the seal emitted a dazzling white glow, and Huo Qilin's figure gradually disappeared.
"Exhaustion?" Ye Chen smiled wryly. That wasn't making a fuss over nothing, suppressing the burning fire in his heart, he retorted: "Why should I be exhausted?"
"That's what can stimulate your potential, and only then can the maximum medicinal effect of the Blood Lotus be brought out!" Huo Qilin explained calmly.
"Bring out the maximum medicinal effect?" Ye Chen nodded slowly, then smiled bitterly and had no choice but to follow Huo Qilin's suggestion. He jumped up and leaped towards the outside of the valley. With Ye Chen's current cultivation, it was very difficult for him to become exhausted, unless he went through countless bloody battles. In order to take the Blood Lotus, exhaustion was inevitable.
A lithe figure leapt out of the valley, traversing the desolate mountain path. In Ye Chen's line of sight, a dilapidated village appeared, with the remaining houses indicating the village's former prosperity. Two-story stone houses were visible everywhere, and several strands of strong and weak auras stood out particularly prominently there.
The entire dilapidated village was eerily quiet, with only the sound of Ye Chen's footsteps splashing in the puddles breaking the silence, making it even more jarring.
Suddenly, from the ruins of a two-story small building in the distance, a shadow emerged and slowly moved forward. With Ye Chen's sharp eyesight, it quickly became clear that this was a strange beast with hair all over its body like sharp thorns, about 1.5 meters tall. The two huge fangs in its large mouth reflected a chilling light under the sunlight, making one's heart skip a beat.
"Unicorn Demon Wolf, Initial Martial Peak Level" Ye Chen gazed at the Unicorn Demon Wolf and directly jumped down from the dilapidated pavilion, exposing himself to the Unicorn Demon Wolf's line of sight.
Now, Ye Chen has gradually approached the inner city of the wasteland, and the appearance of third-level magic beasts in this area is also very common. In a few months, Ye Chen has also slaughtered several third-level magic beasts.
The blood-red eyes stared tightly at Ye Chen, and the low, gloomy roar came from the lone wolf's cold sharp teeth. Suddenly, its sturdy four hooves trampled the ground, like an arrow off the string, and shot towards Ye Chen with a majestic momentum. The horn that emitted a cold glow was like a sharp blade, stabbing straight ahead.
His complexion unchanged, holding a sword in one hand, Ye Chen calmly gazed at the increasingly approaching unicorn wolf. In that instant, his body suddenly dodged and leapt to the side of the unicorn wolf like a ghostly apparition. His eyes flashed with cold light, his right hand slowly raised, and his long sword suddenly slashed out horizontally, accompanied by a sudden burst of shrill whistling sounds.
Pffftttttttttt...
The unicorn wolf's head was directly torn from its body and flew up, with fresh blood spraying out like a fountain, followed by several loud crashes, as the massive body collapsed.
Her feet lightly tapped, avoiding the hot blood that was spraying everywhere. Ye Chen gazed at the still convulsing body of the unicorn wolf with a slight pang in her heart. The wolf pelt and the unicorn horn would have been worth a considerable amount of gold coins if she had taken them to market. Feeling somewhat helpless, she kicked the corpse a few times, and the soles of her feet became stained with blood.
A bloody smell wafted slowly, and several frantic roars drifted out of the dilapidated pavilions around...
A dozen ferocious auras swept in from behind and all around, slowly raising its head, the gaze fell upon dozens of blood-red eyed unicorns, the sharp and long horn surrounded by chill, the temperature around also dropped several degrees, the scent of companions stimulated this group of unicorn demons even more.
Dozens of magical beasts with strength reaching the peak of initial martial arts, this is a challenge for Ye Chen.
"Kid, eighteen demon beasts, you're really crazy!" Huo Qilin said with a hiss, underestimating Ye Chen's craziness before.
Frenzied, Ye Chen's mouth corners revealed a hint of a smile, the oppressive feeling transmitted from around him had a kind of blood-boiling sensation, this kind of deathly oppression was what he liked the most.
Eighteen lone-horned wolves let out a low growl, their iron hooves constantly sweeping back and forth, revealing sharp claws that were extremely eye-catching. Almost simultaneously, dozens of black shadows shot out, like a stormy rain that enveloped Ye Chen, the lone horns constantly moving in the wind, accompanied by a sharp explosive sound.
The long sword was slowly sheathed, Ye Chen's eyes were tightly closed, and he strolled calmly amidst the wildly running dark shadows.
Like taking a leisurely stroll, Ye Chen effortlessly dodged and weaved, sometimes taking a step to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes retreating, and sometimes advancing. Sometimes his body would slightly twist at the waist, and sometimes he would lower his head, always avoiding the incoming horn by a hair's breadth in the most critical moments, like an elusive gentle breeze that allowed the Unicorn Wolf to still be unable to touch Ye Chen's shadow.
Every time the unicorn wolf was about to meet Ye Chen, a gentle breeze blew by, and Ye Chen's figure drifted with the wind, like a gust of clear wind, elusive and unpredictable.
However, when Ye Chen was immersed in dodging, a roar came from the distant attic, and a sense of oppression spread directly to the surroundings. His figure paused, his face changed slightly. For the dozens of single-horned magic wolves in front of him, he could still cope with them, but relying on this breath, Ye Chen could guess that the magic beast was at least a third-level magic beast.
With the sword in hand, he made a swift and fierce slash, unleashing a burst of air-piercing sound that shot towards the ten lone-horned demon wolves. Several crescent-shaped sword auras expanded outwards in an instant, before rapidly striking the massive body of the lone-horned demon wolf with a loud crash.
BOOM!
A fierce explosion sounded, and the seemingly powerful body of the unicorn wolf was instantly blown open by the sword energy!
With a deafening roar, the body of the unicorn wolf was blown open from its abdomen, and a terrifying whirlwind swept out, shredding the corpse into minced meat that shot out in all directions.
With a gentle tread, Ye Chen's agile figure leapt onto the attic, carefully hiding behind the dilapidated wooden door. He gazed at the source of the roaring sound, his eyes taking on a more serious tone. Even though he was not as powerful as before, the aura emanating from that magical beast was still terrifyingly strong.
A massive creature covered in dark blue scales slowly emerged from behind the house, with red liquid dripping slowly down its sharp teeth. A terrifying aura slowly emanated from the beast's body, and its pair of blood-red eyes made one's heart tremble.
Looking at the demon beast's appearance, Ye Chen's face changed slightly, and a rare hint of retreat appeared in his heart. The third-level demon beast, Iron Dragon Beast, was something that Ye Chen couldn't provoke for now. Taking advantage of the fact that the Iron Dragon Beast had not yet discovered himself, Ye Chen slowly retreated backwards along the stairs.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen was not so lucky. His breath was detected by the iron dragon, which let out a low growl and pounced on Ye Chen's shadow with lightning speed. The shadow suddenly swept from one end of the house to behind Ye Chen, its speed so fast that it was impossible to see the movement, leaving only a faint afterimage in the eye, barely discernible as a massive body!
The sound of breaking wind from behind made Ye Chen feel a thrill, his shadow accelerated again, and with great difficulty, he kept within five meters of the Iron Dragon Beast. The true energy of the wind surged out like a tidal wave, Ye Chen's footsteps lightly touched the ground as he madly shot towards the outer city of the wasteland. The Iron Dragon Beast closely followed behind, but its aura caused the surrounding demonic beasts to also crazily surge towards the outer city, triggering another beast tide!
Ye Chen ran for about ten minutes and saw the Iron Dragon Beast still closely following behind him. A hint of a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he occasionally sent out a few sword auras towards the Iron Dragon Beast behind him, causing it to go crazy. Never before had a human provoked it like this. As a third-level magical beast, it already possessed a certain level of intelligence, and it felt its dignity being constantly challenged by the tiny human in front of it!
Leaping onto the treetop again, he turned around and gazed at that enormous body. A hint of a smile involuntarily appeared on Ye Chen's mouth.
"Blood Sword, thanks for chasing me for months, today I'll give you a gift!"
