40 -39 Xiao Chen Takes Action_1
As Xiao Chen and his companion made their way through the mountain cave, they found that despite the ink-black mouth of the cave from the outside, it wasn’t dark inside.
Flecks of faint light shimmered within the cave.
The cave entrance was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass.
The inside of the cave was winding and serpentine.
After they had walked dozens of steps and turned a corner, the cave suddenly opened up to reveal a small valley before their eyes.
In this small valley, the sun and moon had long disappeared.
The sky above was draped with a blood-red heavenly curtain, isolating the valley from the world.
A few dilapidated stone houses littered the valley, surrounded by piles of thick white bones.
The surrounding cliffs were covered in dried blood, and the ground underfoot was layered with bloody traces.
A pervasive stench of blood hung heavy in the air, the ground had long been dyed a dark red from countless amounts of fresh blood.
Here, the sky was blood-red, the earth was blood-red, and life within this small space seemed to lose its vibrant colors.
Only the endless white bones and infinite blood-red survived.
The sight made Xiao Chen frown, unable to imagine that these human traitors would be so cruel, feeding off humans like foreign species.
Their humanity had long been erased.
“You two are complete wastes!
Not only did you not realize you were being followed, but you led them straight to our hideout!”
With this angry shout, the two men from before were thrown away by a man covered in strange tattoos, landing in the blood-red earth, heavily wounded.
As the cave entrance directly faced the valley, Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue were quickly spotted by the rebel traitors in the valley.
After punishing the two underlings who had exposed the hideout, the man covered in peculiar tattoos didn’t seem to care about Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue.
There was a naked desire in his eyes, unconsciously licking his lips and revealing a ferocious smile.
“Hehe!
Ignoring the road to heaven and charging into hell instead.
I haven’t eaten human flesh in several days.
Young humans like you taste the best.
I will skin you alive, tear your muscles apart, and offer you to the great Blood Ancestor.”
He said this to Xiao Chen, his words filled with endless fanaticism.
The deities of the foreign species had deeply infiltrated his soul.
As long as it was for the Blood Ancestor, he would offer his life without hesitation.
Because younger warriors were always at peak physical condition, he preferred humans of this kind.
As for the old man Hu Guyue, he was completely overlooked.
Growing old and frail with little meat on his body, he obviously wasn’t to the man’s liking.
The string of events that Xiao Chen encountered in this world each time challenged his limits.
In his previous life, he lived in a peaceful and harmonious society where life was serene.
In this land, however, fighting for survival was a frequent occurrence, and the humans were constantly in crisis.
Seeing the man with tattoos look at himself with feverish and manic eyes, no ordinary person could understand his perspective.
He looked at Xiao Chen as a predator would its prey, his mouth making smacking noises.
Xiao Chen was utterly horrified—he was dealing with a beast.
“Be careful, that man has two bloody lines among his tattoos, proving that he’s a Blood Refining Realm traitor.
These traitors offer their souls to foreign spiritual beings and ruthlessly hunt down our people to offer human blood sacrifices to foreign gods.
Once enough human sacrifices are offered, the foreign gods would grant them a portion of their power, forming bloody lines in their bodies.
They can gain more lines with more power, and possessing three lines makes them warriors of the Towering Realm.”
Hu Guyue’s voice resounded from the side, explaining some common knowledge to Xiao Chen and reminding him to be careful.
“Among his two bloody lines, one of them is faint and hasn’t spread through his whole body, so his power should be around the early stages of the Blood Refining Realm.”
“High Priest, capture them.
Let’s have a feast with human flesh tonight and let everyone have a good meal.”
“Yes, capture them!
I can already smell the scent of human flesh.”
The rebels in the valley didn’t pay much mind to Xiao Chen and his comrade’s sudden intrusion.
To them, the old and the young were nothing more than ingredients for their dinner, who immediately surrounded them with weapons drawn, their blood-red eyes gleaming with naked desire.
Boom!
For such beasts, even death would be too good for them.
Xiao Chen stomped on the ground with his right foot, leaping into the air.
The Dark Blood War Spear in his hand lunged forward, aiming straight for the tattooed traitor.
As for the remaining riff-raff, Xiao Chen wasn’t concerned.
They had a formidable warrior of the Towering Realm on their side.
Although Hu Guyue was an alchemist and might not excel in combat, relative to absolute power, everything else was insignificant and easily broken.
“Heheh!”
Seeing Xiao Chen pounce towards him, the tattooed man didn’t evade but let out a series of piercing, mocking laughs.
His figure flickered, transforming into a stream of bloody light, rushing to meet Xiao Chen.
Whiz!
The pitch-black war spear whistled through the air, letting out faint spear howls.
Accompanied by the sound of the spear’s hum, strands of pale green combat Qi shot out of the spear.
In a radius of several dozens of feet, all white bones dissolved into dust.
Dust to dust, earth to earth.
Through the blood mist mixed with bone dust, a dazzling green spear light sliced through the air, causing the nearby thick blood mist to sizzle, and the sharp sound of metal against metal echoed in the ears.
Observing Xiao Chen in action, a merciless bloody light emitted from the depths of the pupils of this traitor to the human tribe.
His lean figure suddenly emitted an astonishing fishy smell of blood.
The thick blood Qi crushed the surrounding air, making a series of explosive sounds.
Between his breaths, he had already crossed several dozen feet, meeting up with Xiao Chen’s war spear.
Boom!
With blood red nails, a good ten or more inches in length, wrapped in thick blood colored combat Qi aimed at the incoming green light, in an instant, cold light splattered everywhere, and a sound similar to the clash of metal occurred.
The instantaneous exchange was just like the sparkles of electricity, with two terrifying forces reverting along both of their palms and entering their bodies.
Repelled by the strike, Xiao Chen’s eyes squinted slightly, a cold hum echoed and two glimmers shot out.
With this strike, Xiao Chen had a rough judgment of this traitor’s strength.
The next step would be to send this beast to repent underground.
As one of humankind, willingly becoming a lapdog for the aliens, death is the only solution!
The traitor, repelled by the violent blood Qi, slightly retracted the cold light in his eyes, growing somewhat solemn.
But his arrogance didn’t decrease in the slightest.
With a tinge of obsessiveness and trembling lips, an absurd language rang out, “Hehe, little guy, I seem to smell the scent of your fresh blood.
It’s so sweet, I can hardly wait to have a taste.
I believe the great Blood Ancestor will certainly be pleased with my offering.”
“Looking at your neither-human-nor-ghost appearance, as the leader of our clan, I can’t help but pity you.
Today, I, Xiao Chen, will do what is right and slaughter you, this filthy beast, for the sake of humanity.”
“You’re courting death, ah…..”
Xiao Chen’s words seemed to have hit a nerve, causing the traitor to fly into a rage.
His transformation into this ghostly appearance was indeed a taboo subject for him.
Enraged, the previously serious look in his eyes was momentarily replaced by an intense bloodthirsty intent.
His long, blood-colored nails were enveloped in combat Qi, interwoven into a dense blood-colored net, first to charge towards Xiao Chen.
As for his opponent’s rage, Xiao Chen slightly smirked, wasting no time to chat.
His five fingers clenched tightly around the war spear, his body’s combat Qi surged, infused entirely into the Dark Blood War Spear.
With a swipe in the air, he faced the incoming attack head on.
The stronger the opponent, the more unmoving I am, like a pine tree!
Grasp the spear, launch it.
These two movements merged into one, executed smoothly and continuously.
Thud!
The crescent-shaped spear light, carrying an unmatched deadly intent, abruptly severed the oncoming blood red net.
The dazzling sparks flickered, making a crackling sound.
The originally blood-colored net shattered in an instant, spreading out into a starry burst.
Xiao Chen’s expression remained the same, his stance as steady as Mount Tai.
The long spear in his hand transformed into a wandering dragon, continuously lightly tapping in mid-air, cutting the splattering combat Qi, preventing it from getting close.
Witnessing the fruitless attack, the traitor reinforced his offensive.
The fierce battle between the two could be described as earth-shaking.
Explosions resounded one after another, countless shattered bones and rocks stirred up, instantly ripped apart by fierce combat Qi, floating in mid-air.
