Chapter 1852: Chapter 1849: Seven-colored Blood Lotus
There is still an hour left before the trial ends.
The students participating in the trial have gradually walked out.
They gather in groups, discussing their harvests from this journey and so on.
Just then, Aqing and Zhao Qinglan came rushing over.
Seeing her prized new disciple in such a hurry, Master Morlan quickly stepped forward to inquire.
“Qinglan, what happened?”
Zhao Qinglan, panting for breath, said, “Master Morlan, this is bad. We encountered a Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, and Li Chen is still fighting it. You must go help him!”
“What? A Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, isn’t that a sixth-level Demon Beast? Did you enter the sixth layer?”
Hearing this, Guo Da was shocked and quickly asked.
Li Lang took over, saying coldly, “Even our mentors don’t dare to venture easily into the sixth layer of the Hundred Beast Mountain, and yet you dared to rush in. How reckless!”
Zhao Qinglan shook her head and said, “No, we encountered it on the fourth layer!”
Hearing Zhao Qinglan’s words, Li Lang’s expression immediately turned grim and unpleasant.
“Nonsense, that Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf is a sixth-level Demon Beast and wouldn’t easily leave its territory, so how could it be on the fourth layer?”
Zhao Qinglan was so anxious she was about to cry, seeing Li Lang didn’t believe her.
“Mentor Li Lang, we really encountered it on the fourth layer!”
Seeing Zhao Qinglan speaking so confidently, Li Lang smiled and said, “If it was on the fourth layer, then I think you didn’t encounter a sixth-level Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf but a fourth-level Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf. Though the names are similar, the strength difference is worlds apart!”
Aqing, who had been silent, said, “I can prove it was indeed a Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf. We’ve killed several Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves together before; we know the difference!”
Seeing Aqing also refuting him, the little softness in Li Lang’s face again turned stormy.
He wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat, replaced with a disgruntled grunt.
Master Morlan, sensing the awkwardness, came to make peace, saying, “Stop arguing. We’ll know what layer it is when we go!”
After putting a stop to discussions, she focused her gaze on Zhao Qinglan.
“Qinglan, lead the way!”
Zhao Qinglan nodded, then led Master Morlan to where Li Chen was located.
Guo Da and Li Lang exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
…
Meanwhile:
Li Chen engaged in a life-or-death battle with the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf never expected the vile human before him would dare to counterattack.
It howled to the sky, showing its gleaming sharp claws, and charged at Li Chen.
“Boom!”
Claws and Bomb Fist collided in mid-air, sparking countless sparks.
Li Chen, almost with an Undying Body, had inexhaustible all energies within.
Despite being a fifth-level Demon Beast, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf couldn’t handle Li Chen immediately.
Moreover, as their battle progressed, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf began to tire, nearing its end in strength.
Seeing this, Li Chen decisively seized the opportunity, striking hard at the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s neck.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, exhausted from continuous attacks, couldn’t dodge in time and took Li Chen’s punch squarely.
Its entire body was blasted away, raising a cloud of dust.
“Strike when it’s weak, take its life!”
Li Chen seized the moment, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the beast.
He closed in swiftly, his fist like a Fierce Tiger descending the mountain, aimed fiercely at the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s head.
After several encounters, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf acknowledged Li Chen’s formidable prowess.
At this moment, it decided to retreat.
Thus, as Li Chen approached, it lowered its head, issued an angry growl, bent its front paw slightly, and leaped into the forest depths.
Seeing the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf trying to flee, Li Chen showed no signs of letting go.
“You think you can escape? Not that easy!”
He leapt, landing squarely on the back of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf tried to shake off Li Chen.
But Li Chen clung tightly to its fateful neck, refusing to release.
Immediately, he tightened his fist, assaulting the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s head like his life depended on it.
“Boom!”
A punch!
A second punch!
A third punch!
…
Thus, with hundred consecutive punches, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s head was reduced to a pulp, appalling and hideous.
Finally, unable to bear the burden, the gigantic body of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf crashed to the ground.
Seeing the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf now lay dead, the exhausted Li Chen finally relaxed, taking deep breaths.
After resting for quite a while, he stood and extracted the Demon Core from the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.
As he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a peculiar fragrance.
Following the direction of the aroma, he discovered a blooming seven-colored lotus on the cliff’s edge.
“Seven-colored Blood Lotus?”
Upon seeing the seven-colored lotus, Li Chen’s eyes lit up.
Unable to contain his excitement, he prepared to step forward to pick it.
Just then, he heard a chaotic noise behind him.
Li Chen looked back, spotting a horde of Demon Beasts charging mightily towards him.
Seeing this, Li Chen frowned slightly.
He deliberated briefly on the spot before leaping onto an ancient tree.
The horde of Demon Beasts surged towards the Seven-colored Blood Lotus, all wanting to claim this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure for themselves.
Sadly, they all failed, most falling into the bottomless abyss, ending in shattered pieces.
A small contingent of Demon Beasts nearly succeeded.
But at this point, a blood-red python appeared, flicking its crimson tongue, and lay in wait. It swallowed all the advancing Demon Beasts into its belly.
Witnessing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Thankfully, he hadn’t rashly approached earlier.
Otherwise, he might have ended up as a meal for the Blood Python.
After gorging itself, the Blood Python coiled and napped nearby.
Noticing the bulging belly of the Blood Python, Li Chen understood it was digesting prey.
Snakes cannot move while digesting prey.
With this realization, a smug smile unfurled on Li Chen’s lips.
He then seized the opportunity, striking at the blood python’s vital Life Gate with lightning speed.
“Boom!”
A Bomb Fist whistled through the air, hitting the blood python’s vital point precisely.
It immediately left the python dizzy, its blood-red eyes popped wide open.
Having been critically wounded, the blood python was enraged, its body coiling wildly, intending to strangle the human audacious enough to ambush it.
