CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 183 SO FIERCE!

His figure, like a phantom, appeared above the Blood Serpent.

"Kill!"

With a shout, Chen Xuan unleashed a punch.

So fast that the Blood Serpent didn’t even have time to react.

"Hiss!"

The Blood Serpent immediately howled; even it felt the piercing pain from this punch.

But Chen Xuan wasn’t doing too well either,

gritting his teeth, the pain causing the corner of his eyes to twitch continuously, and his hand went numb from the pain.

"Is this the physique of a high-tier demon beast?"

Truly formidable!

However, he had some idea in his heart; purely in terms of physical strength, it definitely couldn’t match this Blood Serpent, but the difference wasn’t too great.

This was terrifying enough,

as few among human martial artists could rival him.

And not far away, Xuan Er, seeing this scene, swallowed his saliva, widened his eyes, unable to believe what he had just seen.

With one punch, the Blood Serpent was howling, and he hadn’t used a bit of spiritual power. Was this disciple even human?

"Humanoid demon beast?"

These four words suddenly popped into his mind!

"Hiss~~~"

The pained Blood Serpent suddenly went berserk, hissing, staring fixedly at Chen Xuan.

"Ferocious, what’s so ferocious! Beast!"

Chen Xuan cursed, and in the next moment, his figure disappeared in place.

Instantly, the Blood Serpent warily scanned its surroundings, its massive body continuously twisting in mid-air.

"Haha, watch the punch!"

With a light laugh, Chen Xuan’s figure appeared on the Blood Serpent’s back, instantly punching towards its body!

This time, without any reservation!

Chen Xuan’s punch directly penetrated the serpent’s body, and standing on the serpent’s body, he could see the ground through the fist-sized wound, blood gushing out like a spring.

"Hiss~~~"

The Blood Serpent howled continuously, its eyes turning bloodthirsty

With just one punch, it was severely injured, stimulated into losing its reason.

Turning its head, it opened its massive mouth, frenziedly biting towards him.

The bloody stench mixed with a foul odor assaulted the nose.

"Damn, it stinks!"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the murderous Blood Serpent, with no trace of panic on his face.

As the Blood Serpent was about to bite him, an excitement appeared in its eyes, as if already savoring the delicacy.

But—

Chen Xuan suddenly gave a ghostly smile, and in the next moment vanished into thin air, the Blood Serpent’s massive mouth, ’Crunch’, bit fiercely into itself.

"Hiss—"

That bite!

The intense pain made it howl once more.

Twisting its body dozens of yards, blood from the wound rained down below like a storm.

Reappearing, Chen Xuan was now standing on its head.

Laughing, "How does it feel to bite yourself?"

"Haha!"

From afar, Xuan Er witnessed this scene.

Laughing, this kid was really something, playing with a high-tier demon beast that could rival Grade One.

Chen Xuan cast his gaze towards the group of demon beasts at the city gate, at least a few hundred of them.

Luckily, Ye Yilan, a Tier Two Spirit Cultivator, was below, and Xuan Er’s aura was locked onto the other two demon beasts.

So there was no damage.

Seeing it was almost enough, Chen Xuan put away his smile, narrowed his eyes, and shouted, "Nether Eight Directions!"

Instantly covering all the demon beasts.

"Get down!"

Immediately, an overwhelming pressure appeared, those demon beasts on the ground were instantly pressed firmly, and Chen Xuan, standing on the Blood Serpent, slowly descended to the ground.

"Hiss—"

One roar after another, but its body felt like it weighed ten thousand pounds, struggling was futile.

Just like that, it was intentionally controlled by Chen Xuan.

Otherwise, it would have been instantly suppressed.

"Bang!"

The Blood Serpent made intimate contact with the ground, a loud crash, dust flying.

After the dust settled.

Everyone in the Patrol Camp, including Ye Yilan, stared blankly at this scene!

All the demon beasts seemed to be pressed by something heavy, including those two high-tier demon beasts.

But the most attention-grabbing was Chen Xuan, standing atop the massive head of the Blood Serpent, hands behind him, looking relaxed!

Silence!

"Gulp!"

Unknowingly, the sound of swallowing was so loud, it pulled everyone back to reality.

Ye Yilan instantly came to his front, "What was... that... martial technique?"

He was completely stunned.

In an instant, suppressing hundreds of demon beasts, including a Blood Serpent not weaker than Grade One.

Now, its entire head was buried in the dirt.

Unable to make even a sound.

"Why do you ask so many questions!" Xuan Er also arrived, glaring at him.

If he hadn’t witnessed it in Yonghe Commandery, he wouldn’t have been much better off.

Instead, Chen Xuan now asked, "What should we do with these demon beasts?"

"Kill them!"

Ye Yilan said straightforwardly, why keep them alive?

"Shut up!"

Xuan Er scolded him, then looked at Chen Xuan, "Try to find out where they came from?"

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded, after all, this blood python already had some intelligence, though not much.

He then jumped down, extended a finger, and gave a slight beckon towards the blood python. A magical scene unfolded as the python’s head seemed to be pulled out as if by an invisible force.

"Where did you come from?"

At this moment, Chen Xuan even used a beast control technique he hadn’t used in a long time. Naturally, as he had become a Tier Two Spirit Cultivator, the power of this martial skill had increased by several levels.

The blood python’s eyes appeared somewhat bewildered, its mouth opened, but no sound came out.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuan frowned, very dissatisfied. In the next moment, a vast wave of spiritual power flooded into the blood python’s mind like a tide.

"Speak, where did you come from!"

A loud shout!

"The lake....."

The blood python struggled greatly, wanting to speak, but seemed unable to form the words.

"The lake what!"

Chen Xuan shouted again, continuously pushing spiritual power into its mind.

"Lake bottom!"

Just as the two words were spoken, suddenly, a sharp aura emanated from the blood python. Even under the restriction of Chen Xuan’s powerful influence, its huge body began to tremble.

"Roar~~~~"

The massive python head actually started to twist under such intense pressure, especially its huge eyes, which now showed fear.

"What is this?"

Chen Xuan raised his brows slightly in confusion. He hadn’t even begun to kill it yet.

"Careful!"

Xuan Er’s eyes widened as he shouted, instantly appearing next to Chen Xuan. A torrent of spiritual power surged forth, creating a protective barrier.

In the next instant, a dangerous aura erupted from the blood python.

"Damn, it’s going to self-destruct!"

A demon beast capable of rivaling a first-rate master, it’s no wonder even Xuan Er’s expression changed.

Quickly unleashing spiritual power, he surrounded everyone, including patrol camp members, with an additional layer of protection beyond Xuan Er’s.

In the blink of an eye, the blood python swelled several times larger, like a balloon.

As it was about to self-destruct, suddenly, the Luòhé book in Chen Xuan’s arms flew out, emitting a brilliant cyan light!

Enveloping the entire blood python.

Xuan Er turned his head to look at him, "What’s happening?"

"I don’t know!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, eyes glued to the Luòhé book.

Since obtaining it, despite days of contemplation, he only managed to barely understand a small part.

But even then, by his estimation, it was only about ten percent of its peak power.

Still, the power it could unleash in his hands far surpassed Luo Tian.

But he hadn’t infused it with spiritual power or activated it, so why did it fly out on its own?

"Could it be that the blood python has something that attracts it?"

Chen Xuan pondered silently.

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion rang out. The blood python self-destructed, but Chen Xuan and his group felt no hint of danger; it was all blocked by the Luòhé book.

"It can even automatically protect us?"

Xuan Er had a peculiar expression.

But the unsettling scene followed. The blood python’s explosion created a blood mist that, under the cyan glow of Luòhé, gradually fused together, becoming a fist-sized red blood orb.

Even more bizarre, the Luòhé book opened on its own.

The blood orb flew into Luòhé and then—

Disappeared!

"Does the book consume blood?"

Chen Xuan was momentarily bewildered at the sight, finding it incredibly eerie.

However, Luòhé seemed unwilling to stop. After swallowing the blood python’s blood orb, the cyan light intensified, mixed with tendrils of red, a blend of cyan and crimson.

Instantly it enveloped all the demon beasts at the city gate.

"Boom, boom, boom...."

A terrifying scene unfolded as one demon beast after another exploded under Luòhé’s cover.

Suddenly, the air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.

"Ugh!"

Some of the patrol camp soldiers couldn’t hold back and vomited right away.

Everyone was stunned.

Especially the patrol camp soldiers, who were utterly shocked, their minds flooded with questions.

What on earth is happening?

What is that book? It’s said to belong to Lord Chen Xuan?

Under the shroud of Luòhé, all the demon beasts exploded, and the resulting blood mist coalesced into a blood orb, albeit smaller than the blood python’s.

But once it swallowed this second blood orb—

The Luòhé book changed!

The original blue cover turned blood red, so vivid it appeared almost like real blood!

A moment later, the Luòhé book flew back to Chen Xuan!

But he didn’t rush to reclaim it; instead, cautiously extending his spiritual power to inspect it thoroughly.

"What!"

At this inspection, he was shocked.

The Luòhé book had significantly restored itself, at least by fifty percent.

Could it be that it regenerates by devouring demon beasts?

This book, so fierce!

Yet it’s named Luòhé, such a beautiful name.

"Chen Xuan, this is Luòhé, how has it become so ferocious!" Ye Yilan gazed at it in astonishment, genuinely frightened.

In an instant, it annihilated all the demon beasts.

"Perhaps this is its true nature!"

At this moment, Xuan Er seemed to recall something, his expression became extremely grave.
