Chapter 32
This was the smell of demon blood.
The demon blood contained spiritual power, which was different from ordinary beast blood and very easy to distinguish.
Besides, Zhang Chen devoured a large amount of demon blood every day and was extremely familiar with the smell of demon blood.
A demon beast was injured. Should he go over and check it out?
Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment before deciding to go over and see the situation. After all, it was not easy to find a demon beast. If it was someone else hunting the demon beast, he would leave.
The Blood Burst Technique was not suitable for rushing, so Zhang Chen only headed there at an ordinary speed.
An hour later, Zhang Chen arrived at the source of the bloody smell.
A bear demon at the ninth level of Qi Refinement was covered in wounds and blood. It could not even stand steadily.
Not far away, three figures were also seriously injured. One of them was seriously injured and lying on the ground, one was missing an arm, and one had little spiritual power left.
Both sides were equally wounded?
“Eh! It’s the three people I met a few days ago.”
Zhang Chen took a closer look and realized that the three heavily injured people were the young man, the robust middle-aged man, and the old man he had met before.
Of the three of them, one was at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, and the other two were at the eighth level.
Although there were more people, the bear demon was tough and strong, and at the ninth level of Qi Refinement. If the three people did not have powerful techniques, it was normal for both sides to be equally wounded.
The three people also noticed Zhang Chen’s arrival and looked resentful.
Previously, when they met Zhang Chen, they wanted to sit back and reap the benefits. They didn’t expect to become the losers today.
Zhang Chen’s principle was that as long as people didn’t offend him, he wouldn’t offend them. Therefore, he had no intention of taking advantage of the other party’s predicament to kill and rob the bear demon.
However, he would not save the three of them.
Under the wary gazes of the three, Zhang Chen turned around and left.
He left just like that?
The three of them were stunned. They could not understand why the other party would leave such a good opportunity.
They judged Zhang Chen based on their own experiences.
They did not believe that Zhang Chen had really left. He must have pretended to leave and then hid in the dark, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time.
The expression of the old man among the three changed for a while. He gritted his teeth and said, “We don’t want the bear demon anymore. We’ll leave immediately.”
The burly man was a little unwilling. “The bear demon is about to die. Are we going to give up just like that?” f𝑟𝐞𝙚𝘸𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜v𝑒Ɩ. c𝐨𝙢
“How much strength do we have left? Not to mention the bear demon’s counterattack before its death, there are still other hidden cultivators. If we abandon the bear demon, we still have a chance of survival,” the old man explained their current situation.
“We risked our lives, but we didn’t expect others to benefit in the end.” The burly man was filled with frustration and helplessness.
“The cultivation world is like this. We’ve also reaped benefits from others before.” The old man was filled with emotions.
“If we had attacked that Blood God Sect disciple earlier, he wouldn’t have taken advantage of us now.” The burly man was a little regretful.
“Alright, stop talking. Let’s leave quickly. As long as we’re alive, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to settle scores with him in the future.”
The old man helped the severely injured youth up and the three of them quickly left.
“Roar~” Seeing the enemy leave, the bear demon let out a triumphant roar. However, its voice was weak, revealing its weakness.
The bear demon licked its wounds and walked in the other direction with difficulty.
It was severely injured and very weak. If it went deeper into the mountain range, it would only attract other demon beasts.
On the other side, Zhang Chen had indeed left. He was not spying in the dark, looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
However, he had only left for a short while and had not gone far.
“What’s going on? The smell of blood is moving. Could it be that the three of them didn’t capture the bear demon and it escaped?”
Sensing the change in the smell of blood in the air, Zhang Chen was a little puzzled.
Previously, he had seen that the bear demon could not even stand steadily. It did not look like it could run away.
“Could it be that my appearance scared those three people away?” Zhang Chen was not stupid. After thinking for a moment, he thought of the reason.
“Sigh, I really don’t want to kill and rob.”
Zhang Chen shook his head and sighed. He was here to capture demon beasts. Since he had found traces of demon beasts, he naturally had to come and take a look.
Moreover, he left immediately. Unexpectedly, it still caused a misunderstanding.
“Since I’ve already taken the blame, I’ll carry it to the end.” Zhang Chen turned around and walked towards the source of the smell of blood.
Soon, Zhang Chen found the bear demon.
Seeing the bear demon without the other three, Zhang Chen knew that he had guessed correctly.
“Growl…” The bear demon sensed Zhang Chen’s approach and stopped in its tracks, letting out a low growl as a warning.
The blood in his hand condensed into a saber, and Zhang Chen attacked.
Blood Burst Technique!
Mad Blood Saber Technique!
Zhang Chen is accustomed to cutting off one leg from the front and back of the demon beasts to make them lose their mobility, and he did the same this time.
“Thud…”
Zhang Chen’s saber slashed at the bear demon’s front leg, but it did not cut off. It only cut a third of the way in.
As expected of a thick-skinned bear demon!
Before the bear demon could react, Zhang Chen used the Blood Burst Technique to enhance his arm and slashed again.
“Bang!”
Blood flashed and his front leg was cut off.
The bear demon was affected by the madness and pain. It roared non-stop and opened its mouth to bite everywhere.
Zhang Chen moved like a ghost, avoiding the bites and appearing behind the bear demon.
With the Blood Burst Technique boosting his arm, he used the Mad Blood Saber Technique!
“Plip!” The bear demon’s hind paw was cut off.
“Boom!” The bear demon lost its support and fell to the ground with a loud noise, directly passing out due to its heavy injuries.
“I picked up a bargain.” Zhang Chen smiled and shook his sore hands and feet.
If not for the fact that the bear demon was seriously injured and its demonic power was almost exhausted, it would not have been taken down so easily.
After using the beast breeding bag to put away the bear demon, Zhang Chen looked in the direction where the three itinerant cultivators had escaped according to the smell of blood.
“Because of my appearance, they abandoned the bear demon that they had painstakingly injured. They must hate me in their hearts. Although I didn’t have any intention of snatching it at the beginning, the grudge was still formed. I didn’t even have the chance to explain.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t I take the opportunity to deal with them?”
Zhang Chen did not think that he was a good person. Good people did not live long. He had his own rules.
He didn’t like trouble and didn’t want to be ambushed by the three of them at some point in the future.
The three of them were seriously injured and had consumed a lot of spiritual Qi. Now that they had not run far, it was a good opportunity to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen used the Blood Burst Technique to chase after the three itinerant cultivators.
Among the three of them, the young man had the lowest cultivation level and suffered the most serious injuries. He could not walk on his own and needed someone to support him, severely affecting the speed of the other two.
The robust middle aged man had lost an arm, his face was pale, and his footsteps were weak.
The old man looked unharmed, but there was not much spiritual power left in his body. He also looked weak.
The robust middle-aged man touched his severed arm and said resentfully, “I paid such a huge price this time and didn’t obtain anything. That damn Blood God Sect disciple, I’ll definitely kill him in the future!”
“Sigh…” The old man sighed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice coming from behind.
“There’s no need to wait for the future. Let’s do it now.”
The expressions of the three of them changed drastically as they turned to look.
It was Zhang Chen who had chased after them. In order to catch up to the three of them, he had used the Blood Burst Technique all the way. Now, his feet were aching faintly. He did not need to look to know that they were swollen.
The robust middle-aged man said angrily, “Don’t go too far. We’ve already given the bear demon to you, yet you still want to kill us!”
