CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: REUNION WITH FANG TAO

The Nirvana Ao Clamp swung continuously, each swing killing a Fire Fleece Sheep.

In just a few breaths, the flock was slaughtered.

Chu Chen skillfully drew out a dagger and began harvesting valuable items from the Fire Fleece Sheep.

Now that he had the Space Belt, he didn’t miss a chance to pack away the flesh and fur he couldn’t take before.

However, under the ravages of the Wind-Fire Bomb, the materials he could carry were limited.

Chu Chen murmured a regretful thought; the materials from these Fire Fleece Sheep were quite valuable.

It seemed necessary to change the battle style of the Wind Burst Mad Lion.

When Chu Chen looked at Zhang Yuyan, he found her looking at him with a stunned expression.

Chu Chen, seeing this, didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Earn a bit of pocket money. How about we split the spoils evenly?"

Zhang Yuyan shook her head and said, "I don’t need it, you keep everything."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly; given her background, she wouldn’t value this small gain.

At this moment, Zhang Yuyan placed her right hand on the ring finger of her left hand, and with her right hand, produced an elixir pill the size of a dragon’s eye.

Chu Chen was surprised at the sight, noticing the pill had three pill patterns, indicating it was a Third-Grade Elixir, and the ring on her left hand was a Space Ring.

Chu Chen had no sigh left to offer; the gap was simply too wide.

Just then, Zhang Yuyan looked at the sky, frowning, and muttered, "Still not here? So slow."

"Let’s keep moving. The smell of blood here is too strong; I fear the Star Beasts will soon come hunting." Chu Chen said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yuyan accepted without objection, but her pace noticeably slowed down.

Chu Chen, noticing this, didn’t inquire, assuming she was enjoying the scenery.

This was indeed the case; Zhang Yuyan curiously surveyed the surroundings, genuinely appearing to enjoy the landscape.

The two walked leisurely, and when they entered a dense forest, a sudden roar came from above.

"Blood God Sect, you rats have finally come out." An old man’s voice came from the sky.

Chu Chen was startled upon hearing this; how had the Blood God Sect followed them?

When he looked at Zhang Yuyan, she was calm, as if she had already known the Blood God Sect would come.

Seeing this, Chu Chen seemed to understand something, and his expression darkened.

At this moment, Zhang Yuyan’s voice came through.

"Angry? I’ll explain to you after this is over."

"Not angry, just a bit saddened. I thought we were friends," Chu Chen replied in a deep voice.

"Don’t overthink it; we are indeed friends. I said I would give you an explanation, but we must get through this ordeal first."

Chu Chen was about to say something when three individuals burst out of the dense forest, interrupting him.

Chu Chen glanced at their attire and knew they were from the Blood God Sect.

Sensing the aura they emitted, Chu Chen frowned.

Among the three, two had reached the Soul Master Level, and the other was a Soul Warrior Level, but his realm was about the Seventh Rank Soul Warrior Level.

As soon as the three appeared, they immediately summoned their Guardian Beasts.

The Soul Master Level Beast Masters’ Guardian Beasts were a Blood Tiger Beast and a Blood Wolf Beast, respectively.

And the Soul Warrior Level Beast Master had a crimson giant lizard as his Guardian Beast.

The Blood Tiger Beast had reached the Fourth Rank Commander Level.

The Blood Wolf Beast was at the Third Rank Commander Level.

The crimson giant lizard was of the Eighth Rank War General Level.

At this moment, the owner of the crimson giant lizard pointed at Chu Chen and said, "Leave this guy to me."

The other two just nodded, saying nothing.

Chu Chen found the voice of the black-robed man familiar, but he couldn’t recall it momentarily.

Meanwhile, the Blood Tiger Beast and Blood Wolf Beast were already charging at the two of them.

Zhang Yuyan said in a deep voice, "I’ll handle the Blood Tiger Beast, and you take care of the other two Blood Beasts. Don’t fight them head-on; just stall them for a bit. Reinforcements will arrive soon."

Hearing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth, grumbling to himself, you say stall, so stall it is. The opponent clearly wants a quick fight and won’t dally with me.

But at this point, he had no retreat and could only brace himself.

"Lei Yao, you go stall the Blood Wolf Beast; Nirvana, you take on the crimson giant lizard."

The two beasts let out low growls upon hearing this, also recognizing it to be a tough battle ahead.

However, neither beast showed any fear; instead, they seemed filled with fighting spirit.

Watching the approaching Blood Wolf Beast, Lei Yao let out a roar, his eyes turning bright red as a giant ape’s shadow appeared behind him, and the Thunder Element swiftly gathered around him.

Lei Yao had no intention to hold back, laying all his cards on the table.

At this point, Lei Yao’s aura was climbing at an alarming rate.

Eighth Rank War General Level, and beyond...

In just a breath, its aura surged to the Commander Level, and the rise didn’t stop until it reached the Second Rank Commander Level.

The Blood Wolf Beast, sensing Lei Yao’s aura change, promptly halted its charge, its gaze toward Lei Yao filled with wariness.

At this moment, the Wind Burst Mad Lion’s aura also began to rise rapidly, although not as dramatically as Lei Yao’s, it too reached the Third Rank Commander Level.

Chu Chen wasn’t surprised to see the Wind Burst Mad Lion’s strength elevate to such a degree; given Zhang Yuyan’s background, obtaining the Wind Burst Mad Lion clan’s Secret Technique wasn’t hard, and its talent also boosted combat power.

The Blood Tiger Beast, feeling the Wind Burst Mad Lion’s aura, also slowed its attack pace.

The two black-robed Soul Masters turned their gazes to the black-robed Soul Warrior.

"Fang Tao, we can’t manage a swift victory here. You finish off that ant quickly and help us, or we all die when reinforcements arrive."

Chu Chen’s expression changed dramatically at this; the black-robed man was actually Fang Tao.

Having his identity exposed by a companion, Fang Tao didn’t hide anymore; he removed his mask, revealing a pale young man to the two of them.

Chu Chen was astonished at this sight; if it weren’t for his identity being revealed, he would hardly recognize Fang Tao even if he saw him.

For now, both Fang Tao’s appearance and aura had changed significantly.

Firstly, his weight; Fang Tao originally weighed seventy to eighty kilograms, but now he only weighed about fifty kilograms, having become extremely gaunt.

Secondly, his complexion; previously dark-skinned, now starkly pale as if deeply ill.

Finally, his aura; once exuding a dark, deceitful aura, now it was a twisted madness, inciting an urge to distance oneself quickly.
