CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: BLOOD BURST PILL

In the outskirts of the West City Forest, a group of people was heading towards where Chu Chen and the others were located.

"Lu Hongfei, what were you thinking? How could you agree to this without informing me in advance? If something goes wrong, I’ll be dragged down by you." The leading middle-aged man said coldly.

Hearing this, Lu Hongfei’s face changed abruptly, but he did not retort against the middle-aged man’s reprimand. Instead, he explained in a low voice, "You can’t blame me for this; Zhang Yuyan came to me personally. How dare I refuse her? Even if I didn’t inform you, you already knew. Honestly, you’re not very trustworthy, planting spies in our Daoist School."

"Nonsense, that’s someone from my City Lord’s Mansion, coincidentally training there."

"Come on, I know you well. You’ve been secretly protecting Zhang Yuyan all these years, haven’t you?"

"Hmph, if not for you, I would only have to protect her for another half a year before she leaves for Cyan Dragon City. Then I wouldn’t have to live in fear anymore."

"Sounds noble, but you’ve taken quite a lot of benefits from Elder Zhang, haven’t you?"

"I don’t have time to argue with you. Quickly tell me about the boy who went out with Zhang Yuyan. How strong is he? Can he hold off the Blood God Sect members?"

"That boy is very mysterious. His strength should not be weaker than Zhang Yuyan’s."

"Hmm? It sounds like you’ve found a treasure."

"You can’t say it like that. He’s also from Celestial Star City. Shouldn’t you, as the great City Lord, also contribute a bit?"

"Hmph, as long as Zhang Yuyan is safe, I will reward accordingly."

At this time, the Wind Burst Mad Lion was engaged in battle with the Blood Tiger Beast. The two beasts were evenly matched, making it hard to determine a victor for the moment.

However, what shocked the black-robed man was that the Blood Tiger Beast was faintly at a disadvantage.

One should know that the Blood Tiger Beast’s realm was a rank higher than the Wind Burst Mad Lion, and it was at the Mature Stage, with greater power and size than the opponent, which baffled the black-robed man greatly.

Although Chu Chen focused most of his energy on the battle of Nirvana, he also paid attention to Lei Yao and the Wind Burst Mad Lion’s fight.

Lei Yao could barely make a draw with the Blood Wolf Beast, and the Wind Burst Mad Lion’s combat experience was not as good as Lei Yao’s, yet it could suppress the opponent, which made Chu Chen very curious.

Chu Chen pondered for a moment and already had an answer in his heart.

There was only one reason for this situation, which was Zhang Yuyan’s talent.

Though he guessed the reason, he could not deduce exactly what Zhang Yuyan’s talent was.

Because the performance of the Wind Burst Mad Lion could only be described as moderate, with nothing outstanding about it.

He did not pursue the matter further, as everyone has their own secrets, and he had no need to delve into this one.

Unlike Chu Chen’s carefree attitude, the black-robed man was extremely anxious because the elder guarding Zhang Yuyan was incredibly powerful, and even their Hall Master could only barely hold him off. If it continued, they would surely die.

"Fang Tao, what are you dawdling for? We don’t have time." The black-robed man roared angrily.

Fang Tao’s face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. At this moment, he was also stuck in a dilemma. He originally thought it would be easy to solve the opponent, but the ant he casually abandoned couldn’t be killed no matter what, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

He didn’t respond to the black-robed man’s accusations but instead kept urging the Blood Demon Lizard to kill Nirvana.

The Blood Demon Lizard, annoyed by the urging, let out a low growl towards Fang Tao, with a hint of murderous intent in its eyes.

Seeing this, Fang Tao’s expression abruptly changed. He immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak further.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked somewhat puzzled, "Yu Yan, these Blood God Sect guys are really strange. Why are they in such a hurry and not summoning other Guardian Beasts?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuyan replied solemnly, "After the followers join the Blood God Sect, they only contract a Blood Beast."

"Why is that?" Chu Chen asked, puzzled.

"It relates to the nature of Blood Beasts. Contracting a Blood Beast requires feeding them with one’s own blood daily, and the stronger the Blood Beast, the more blood it requires daily. They almost get sucked dry just supporting one Blood Beast, so how dare they contract another one."

Saying this, Zhang Yuyan paused to think before continuing, "It’s said that Blood Beasts have a very domineering nature. If they contract two Blood Beasts and summon them simultaneously, they will first kill each other, not obeying the Beast Master’s commands. Some Blood Beasts might even directly kill the Beast Master."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen showed a look of sudden understanding.

Although Blood Beasts cultivate extremely fast and practically have no bottlenecks, their drawbacks are also significant.

To cultivate a Blood Beast, a large amount of blood-pumping Star Treasures and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are needed.

Of course, that’s presuming the Blood Beast doesn’t rebel.

The Blood Demon Lizard once again launched an attack on Nirvana, but this time its difficulty in harming Nirvana increased significantly.

Seeing this, Fang Tao furrowed his brows immediately. After contemplating for a while, he seemed to make a certain decision and took out a blood-red elixir from his pocket.

After summoning the Blood Demon Lizard to his side, he stuffed the blood-red elixir into its mouth.

Upon completing this, Fang Tao didn’t hesitate any longer and surprisingly turned to run into the distance.

Seeing him in such a hurry, it seemed as if something dangerous was about to happen.

At that moment, the Blood Demon Lizard suddenly let out a painful howl, its entire aura began to surge crazily, and the intelligence in its eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by endless madness.

Seeing this, Chu Chen’s expression abruptly changed. Without a moment’s hesitation, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Yuyan and ran away to the distance.

Moments later, the Blood Demon Lizard ceased its howling, and its aura no longer grew, but it had already reached the limit of the War General Level.

Blood Demon Lizard looked around, seemingly looking for something.

Soon it confirmed its target, staring firmly at Nirvana, it lunged forward with all its limbs.

At this moment, the Blood Demon Lizard’s speed was even faster than when Blood and Qi was boiling.

Even with Nirvana’s current strength, it couldn’t keep up with its speed.

"Bang"

The Blood Demon Lizard lightly swiped with its paw, sending Nirvana flying away.

Its figure flickered, once again appearing in front of Nirvana.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Nirvana, like a rubber ball, was batted by the Blood Demon Lizard with no ability to retaliate. Moreover, the opponent’s attack power was extremely terrifying, each blow causing significant damage to Nirvana.

Nirvana could only curl up into a ball, allowing the opponent to attack, but it continuously used Limb Regeneration, fearing the injuries would worsen further. Otherwise, it might die under the opponent’s attack.

Chu Chen furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What was that elixir just now?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuyan replied somewhat uncertainly, "It seems to be a Blood Burst Pill."

"What is that?"

"The Blood Burst Pill is a unique elixir of the Blood God Sect that forcibly enhances strength by consuming blood. Moreover, during this process, it loses sanity and attacks surrounding life indiscriminately until the blood runs out and it stops."

Hearing this, Chu Chen’s expression instantly became solemn.

The current situation was even worse than he imagined.
