Chapter 30

Seeing the change in Zhang Chen’s expression, Sun Jian was a little proud. “If you tell me the truth, everything will be fine. If you don’t, this will be your burial ground!”

In Sun Jian’s opinion, Zhang Chen was just an inner sect disciple who had just been promoted from the outer sect. He did not have much combat experience. At most, he knew two techniques and was not proficient enough.

As for him, he had already been an inner sect disciple for four years. He was at the eighth level of Qi Refinement and knew three spells. He had rich experience fighting demon beasts.

Therefore, he did not take Zhang Chen seriously.

Zhang Chen had already harbored a killing intent. He absolutely couldn’t let his secret be exposed.

Blood gushed out and condensed into a knife in his hand.

“You want to fight me with just that?”

Sun Jian sneered and struck out with his palm. An incomparably swift blood-colored imprint flew towards Zhang Chen’s chest.

This was the ‘Blood Palm Imprint’. Once hit, the meridians would be blocked, making it difficult to mobilize the spiritual energy within the body.

Zhang Chen took a step forward. Boosted by the Blood Burst Technique, he not only dodged the Blood Palm Imprint, but also instantly appeared next to Sun Jian.

Immediately, he slashed out.

Mad Blood Demon Saber!

“What!”

Sun Jiandaji’s face turned pale with disbelief. He could not understand how a newly promoted inner sect disciple could have such strength.

In terms of proficiency in techniques, he had at least reached a state of minor achievement.

Before he could react, the madness released by the Mad Blood Demon Saber gave him a splitting headache and made him lose the ability to think.

“Pfft!” An arm flew up.

“Ah~” A miserable scream of pain sounded in the forest.

“Why are you prying into my affairs?”

Zhang Chen did not kill Sun Jian immediately. He needed to know if anyone else knew about this other than Sun Jian and where he had been exposed.

Sun Jian was no longer as arrogant as before. His face was filled with fear and regret as he held his shoulder and retreated.

“Don’t kill me. wasn’t inquiring about you, it was Senior Brother Zhou who asked me to approach you and find out the source of Senior Brother Li’s blood essence.”

“Senior Brother Zhou? Which Senior Brother Zhou?” Zhang Chen was a little puzzled. He didn’t know any Senior Brother with the surname Zhou.

“It’s Zhou Wenting. He gave me blood essence as a reward to monitor you, get close to you, and find out the source of Senior Brother Li’s Foundation Establishment blood essence.” Sun Jian blurted out in terror to save his own life.

Zhou Wenting?

Zhang Chen searched his memories and realized he didn’t know him. “Why is Zhou Wenting investigating the source of Li Mumin’s Foundation Establishment blood essence?”

“I’m not sure, but I heard that Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Li had a grudge in the past.” Sun Jian did not dare to hide anything.

Only then did Zhang Chen understand that he had been implicated by Li Mumin.

“I told you, don’t kill me,” Sun Jian pleaded.

Zhang Chen’s gaze was cold, but he did not say anything.

His secret must not be leaked, but he had never killed anyone before, and he hesitated a bit at this moment.

When Sun Jian saw this, he knew that Zhang Chen would not let him off. He revealed a ruthless expression and prepared to fight to the death.

“Die!”

Sun Jian opened his mouth and a ray of blood light shot out.

This was the spell, Blood God Sting. It condensed blood into a blood light stored in the body and was suddenly shot out from the mouth to attack the enemy when least expected.

Not only was it powerful, but it was also extremely fast.

The two of them were very close and it was too sudden. Zhang Chen could not dodge in time.

Blood Armor Technique!

Zhang Chen’s mind moved, and a bright red blood armor covered his whole body.

Seeing that Zhang Chen did not dodge, Sun Jian said excitedly, “Gotcha!”

“Boom!”

Bloodlight struck the blood armor with a loud bang.

The Blood Armor Technique consisted of 10 levels. The first level was comparable to metal, and Zhang Chen had already condensed it to the third level.

Although the Blood God Sting was powerful, with Sun Jian’s cultivation realm, he was still unable to break through the three layers of blood armor. He could only push Zhang Chen back by 30 feet.

“How is that possible!”

Looking at Zhang Chen, who was completely unscathed and covered in blood armor, Sun Jian was once again in disbelief.

However, his reaction was very quick. He immediately used the Light Body Technique to turn around and escape.

With the enhancement of the Light Body Technique, Sun Jian’s body was as light as a swallow, and each step was 30 feet.

However, how could the Light Body Technique be faster than the Blood Burst Technique?

“Splurt!”

“Splurt!”

Zhang Chen used the Blood Burst Technique twice in a row and caught up to Sun Jian. He raised his hand and slashed out.

Mad Blood Demon Saber!

Madness overwhelmed Sun Jian’s mind. His body stiffened, and a pained expression appeared on his face.

“Thud…”

His head was separated from his body, and blood gushed out from his severed neck.

How could a newly promoted inner sect disciple be so strong?

Sun Jian’s head fell to the ground. While he was still confused, he understood something.

Zhang Chen must be hiding an incredible secret!

Unfortunately, he would never know.

Zhang Chen thought that he would feel uncomfortable after killing someone, but surprisingly, he felt calm.

“Am I a born killer?

“No, I understood from the beginning what kind of world this is and was mentally prepared to kill.”

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly. He looked at the corpse on the ground and took out a blood storage bottle. “I can’t waste this blood essence.”

After collecting the blood essence, Zhang Chen searched the shriveled corpse.

He found a blood storage bottle and a demon breeding bag.

Although there wasn’t much, Zhang Chen was quite satisfied.

A blood storage bottle required 10 bowls of blood essence to exchange for, and a demon breeding bag required at least 20 bowls.

After doing all this, Zhang Chen continued to walk deeper into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

“Hmm? The smell of blood!”

After five miles into the mountain range, Zhang Chen smelled a bloody smell in the air.

Disciples of the Blood God Sect were very sensitive to the smell of blood. They could even smell it from a kilometer away.

After some thought, Zhang Chen decided to go over and take a look.

When he came to the place where the bloody smell was coming from, he saw a pitch-black cave about the height of an adult. There were traces of dragging on the ground.

This was likely the cave of a demon beast that had just returned from hunting.

Zhang Chen did not enter the cave. After all, no one knew how many demon beasts there were in the cave, how strong they were, and whether they were dangerous.

Narrow and dark caves made it difficult to escape.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chen decided to use smoke to force the demon beasts out of the cave.

He found some half-dry and half-wet twigs and leaves, piled them up at the cave entrance, and lit them on fire.

Since they were only partially dry, the smoke produced was very dense.

The blood condensed into a huge fan in Zhang Chen’s hand, fanning the smoke into the cave.

“Squeak squeak squeak…”

As the smoke in the cave became thicker and thicker, the cries of demon beasts could be heard.

An hour later, a black figure rushed out of the cave.

Zhang Chen quickly stepped back and looked at it carefully.

It turned out to be a rat demon at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. It was the size of a calf, with bloodstains on its fur near its mouth, and a pair of sword-like teeth especially prominent.

However, its eyes were closed due to the smoke, and tears kept flowing.

Although Zhang Chen had seen various demon beasts of all shapes and sizes in the beast garden, they were all bound by formations and had no resistance.

This was his first real encounter with a monster, and he was not afraid or nervous, only excited.
