Chapter 40

Chapter 40

The next day, the sky was slightly bright and hazy.

Although Zhang Chen had been on guard for the entire night, he was still in high spirits.

The sense of spying that he sensed with his mind was indistinct, which meant that the person following him had not left.

Zhang Chen’s expression was calm as he continued on his way.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, two figures stood in the shadows in a dense forest. “He’s here. Let’s withdraw our thoughts.”

Zhang Chen seemed to know nothing as he walked into the dense forest.

The dense forest was filled with trees, and it was difficult for sunlight to enter. It was very cool and filled with the smell of rotting plants.

“Pa!”

“Pa!”

“Pa!”

The forest was abnormally quiet. Only the sound of Zhang Chen stepping on fallen leaves could be heard.

Suddenly, two figures darted out from the shadows, one in front and one behind, blocking Zhang Chen’s path.

Zhang Chen, who was originally calm, was a little surprised when he saw the two of them clearly. “So it’s the two of you.”

Then, Zhang Chen smiled again. “I haven’t even looked for you yet, but you’ve already come knocking on my door. It saves me some effort.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenting was stunned for a moment before sneering, “Kid, you still want to scare me? We’re already on your way.

“You’re only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. If you have something to rely on to kill Sun Jian, you don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. The two of us have been at the ninth level of Qi Refinement for many years. Even if Li Mumin comes, he might not be able to kill us.

“I’ll give you a chance to live now. You didn’t exchange for blood essence in the outer sect at all. Tell me where you got the blood essence and I’ll let you live.”

Zhang Chen smiled and began to circulate the Blood Ignition Technique. “You’ll know soon if I’m bluffing you.”

While Zhang Chen was speaking, his cultivation level quickly increased. By the time he finished speaking, he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

“Blood Ignition Technique? You don’t want to talk anymore!” Zhou Wenting and the other two were shocked.

“You guys will be the ones to die!” Zhang Chen took out the storage bag at his waist, took out the Mad Blood Saber, and circulated the Blood Burst Technique.

With the Light Body Technique and the Blood Burst Technique, Zhang Chen’s figure instantly disappeared and appeared beside Zhou Wenting.

Mad Blood Saber Technique!

As Zhang Chen appeared beside him, Zhou Wenting was shocked and lost his composure. Before he could react, a huge surge of madness flooded his mind, causing him to have a splitting headache. He was unable to move.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhou Wenting was about to be killed with a single blow, the jade pendant on his body suddenly shone brightly, forming a light film that blocked the attack.

“Dang!” With a loud sound, both parties retreated 20 feet.

The seemingly foolproof strike had been blocked!

Zhang Chen looked at the light emanating from Zhou Wenting and wondered to himself,

Is this a spell or a magic weapon?

On the other side, Jiang Xianghong reacted quickly. He hastily waved his hand, sending three blood arrows shot towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen took a step forward. With the support of the two spells, he instantly disappeared from the spot. He dodged the blood arrow and attacked Jiang Xianghong at the same time.

“Blood Web Technique!”

Jiang Xianghong dared not let Zhang Chen approach him, so he cast a giant web made of blood in front of him.

This blood web not only had a large coverage area, but it was also incredibly tough. Once it hit its target, it would automatically contract and absorb the enemy’s blood to strengthen itself.

Even if a demon beast at the ninth level of Qi Refinement was caught in the net, it would not be able to break free for a while. This was his signature spell.

Zhang Chen, who was charging towards Jiang Xianghong, had fallen into his trap, as he had landed in the area covered by the blood web.

The blood on the Mad Blood Knife flowed as he swung it towards the blood web.

“Sizzle~”

The blood web shattered into two pieces.

“How is this possible!

“Wait, that blade is a magical weapon!”

Upon seeing the incredibly resilient blood web being shattered, Jiang Xianghong was initially incredulous, but then he noticed the Mad Blood Knife in Zhang Chen’s hand.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wenting, who had finally recovered from the madness, was gasping for air.

This was the closest he had ever come to death. If not for his protective magic item, the protective jade pendant, he would have already become a dead soul.

The protective jade pendant was something he had spent most of his savings on. It could withstand three attacks below the Foundation Establishment realm.

Coupled with the fact that he had already used it twice, there was only one last time.

How could he be so strong!

Zhou Wenting found it unbelievable. He really couldn’t figure it out. Two years ago, he was only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

Even now, with the help of the Blood Ignition Technique, he shouldn’t be able to fully utilize his ninth-level Qi Refinement strength.

More importantly, the spells he was using were too powerful. Please visit f𝘳𝐞𝒆we𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟e𝑙. c𝘰𝓂

Casting spells required refined blood and time to practice.

Where did Zhang Chen get so much blood essence?

Then, Zhou Wenting thought about whether he should take the opportunity to run away.

In his opinion, Zhang Chen had used the Blood Ignition Technique and was bound to die once the time ran out. Fighting back was not worth it.

After breaking through the blood web, Zhang Chen charged towards Jiang Xianghong again.

Jiang Xianghong panicked, retreating while casting a defensive spell.

A blood shield appeared in front of him.

At the same time, he noticed that Zhou Wenting had already regained his senses, so he shouted desperately, “Senior Brother Zhou, come and help me!”

“Thud…”

The blood shield that could withstand many spell attacks was like a piece of paper in front of Zhang Chen, easily slashed open with one cut.

I must kill Jiang Xianghong with my next strike!

With the Blood Burst Technique infused on his arm, he was ready to swing the blade.

On the other side, Zhou Wenting had an idea. He would use Jiang Xianghong as bait to kill Zhang Chen and take their blood essence and belongings.

This way, he could have enough resources to build his foundation and let Xu Yixian roll to the side.

“Junior Brother Jiang, I’m sorry. I’ll burn incense for you on your death anniversary every year!”

Zhou Wenting performed a spell, and a large amount of blood overflowed from his body, condensing into a dense array of blood arrows.

“Go!”

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

A large number of blood arrows shot out, covering Zhang Chen and Jiang Xianghong entirely.

This was Zhou Wenting’s sure-kill attack, which consumed 80% of his blood.

Zhou Wenting’s face was pale and his aura was weak. His body was trembling, but his eyes were particularly bright, staring intently without blinking.

Zhang Chen sensed the danger behind him. He swept his gaze and saw countless blood arrows made of condensed blood falling down like rain.

He did not expect Zhou Wenting to be so ruthless as to kill his companions.

“You…” Jiang Xianghong wanted to curse, but before he could finish, the blood arrows had already arrived.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Like a grenade, the bombers bombarded the ground. A large number of trees collapsed, turning into debris and countless fallen leaves.

“It’s done!

“Hahaha~”

Zhou Wenting laughed wildly.

“Aren’t you laughing a little too early?”

A mocking, icy voice came from the debris of leaves.

Zhou Wenting’s body stiffened, and he stared ahead in disbelief.

The debris of leaves dispersed, and the fallen leaves fell to the ground, leaving a scarred and pitted landscape. Standing there was a figure wrapped in blood armor.

“Blood Armor Technique? To withstand so many blood arrows, you need at least three layers of blood armor, but how could you possibly have it!”

Zhou Wenting found it hard to accept. He didn’t know if it was because of fear or because he was affected by the madness from before, but he was a little crazy and unwilling to accept reality.

What he did not know was that Zhang Chen’s blood armor had already condensed to the fourth level.

“Next, I’ll send you to reunite with Jiang Xianghong. He’s waiting for you down there.”

As he spoke, Zhang Chen had already arrived in front of Zhou Wenting and made a cut.
