Chapter 7: Fighting the Demonic Ape
"Haha, Ling Chen, we were afraid that you were no match for that evil-blooded swordsman, and we were concerned about your safety, so we followed you all the way here. Don't overthink it."
Meng Yuan looked at Ling Chen, the smile on his face looked very bright.
“You guys go chase the Evil Blood Swordsman, don’t let him get away.” After talking to Ling Chen, Meng Yuan whispered in the ears of his two followers.
"Yes." The two disciples immediately chased after him.
"Worried about my safety? Then why are you blocking the alley? Meng Yuan, do you want to murder your fellow disciples? This is a crime of treason."
How could Ling Chen not guess what Meng Yuan was thinking? The current situation was clearly aimed at him, and they wanted to kill him.
Moreover, this greedy guy wanted to kill the Evil Blood Swordsman and steal his mission as well.
"Treason? These are all my people. Even if I kill you, who would know?"
Meng Yuan grinned, his smile was a little grim.
After being seen through by Ling Chen, Meng Yuan didn't plan to pretend anymore and simply tore off his face. In his eyes, Ling Chen was already a dead man anyway, and it was useless for a dead man to know more.
"Meng Yuan, it seems that we have no grudges against each other, why do you want to kill me?"
Ling Chen narrowed his eyes, but there was no sign of panic on his face.
"You have no grudge against me, but I want to kill you for my own merit!" A sinister look appeared in Meng Yuan's eyes, "Brothers, form a formation! Work with me to kill him!"
"yes!"
The remaining five Shenyi Sect disciples followed orders and dispersed, each standing on one side, pointing their swords at Ling Chen, as if they had set up a sword formation.
"Chongxu Sword Formation."
Ling Chen was very familiar with the various formations of the Shenyi Sect disciples, so he naturally recognized the human-level formations set up by the disciples in front of him. The Chongxu Sword Formation was a relatively common sword formation among the disciples, and was usually used to besiege some traitorous warriors, wanted criminals, and the like. He didn't expect that it would be used on him today.
"My fellow disciples, this is a personal grudge between Meng Yuan and me. You'd better not get involved. I don't want to kill innocent people by mistake."
Ling Chen looked around and said calmly.
"Haha, killing an innocent person by mistake? How ridiculous that you dare to speak so arrogantly when you are about to die!"
"That's right, do you still think you are the number one genius in the martial arts world?"
Ling Chen's words not only failed to have any effect, but also attracted the two disciples' ridicule.
"Stop talking nonsense with him and get started!"
Meng Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had already taken the initiative to attack Ling Chen, "You useless bastard! Xiao Muyu saved you last time, but I'll see who can save you this time!"
Wow!
The sound of fluttering robes rang out, and Meng Yuan's momentum suddenly rose and became extremely powerful.
The sixth level of warrior!
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that Meng Yuan's cultivation had reached this level, which was one level higher than expected.
"Great Wilderness Classic, Raging Wave Fist!"
Meng Yuan stomped his foot suddenly, leaving a deep footprint on the ground. All his strength and energy were gathered in his fist. He shouted loudly, and the surging fist force came out like a wave.
At the same time, the five disciples who had set up the Chongxu Sword Formation also rushed out with swords and besieged Ling Chen.
"Haha, Ling Chen, you never thought you would die here today! Don't struggle, you won't stand a chance of survival under my iron barrel formation!"
Seeing Ling Chen motionless, Meng Yuan thought that the other party was intimidated by his display and had lost his nerve, so he immediately laughed, wanting to further weaken Ling Chen's fighting spirit and wipe out the latter in one fell swoop.
"I will not offend others unless they offend me. I originally did not want to kill my fellow disciples, but now it seems that I cannot do it."
Ling Chen's expression was calm, but then his eyes suddenly became fierce, "In that case, all of you should leave your lives behind."
sonorous!
As soon as he finished speaking, facing the six fierce attacks, Ling Chen suddenly drew his sword.
The true energy quickly gathered along with the sword light, and suddenly exploded the moment Ling Chen swung the sword!
Ling Chen's footsteps were like a phantom, he leaped out, the sword light was like a dragon, and he passed by like a white horse in the blink of an eye, with an astonishing speed!
The second move of the Dragon-Seeking Sword Technique, White Dragon Passing Through the Gap!
The five disciples who launched the attack with the sword formation were the first to be affected by the sword light. They only felt a flash before their eyes, and a dragon-shadow sword light quickly filled their pupils and brushed past a certain part of their bodies.
Phew!
A subtle sound suddenly rang out, and the next moment, the heads of the five disciples flew up almost at the same time, their heads and bodies separated.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, Meng Yuan's face was filled with horror. He felt a chill on his neck and quickly lowered his head. However, what he saw was a headless body gushing blood, slowly falling down.
"How can it be?"
This was Meng Yuan’s last thought before his death.
He could never have expected that Ling Chen could kill six people in one second with one sword. What a terrifying swordsmanship this must be... This guy is a huge threat. He must be killed as soon as possible and cannot be delayed for more than two months.
However, he didn't have the chance to go back and tell others what he had said.
"Unjust is doomed to destruction."
Ling Chen looked at Meng Yuan's headless body and couldn't help but shook his head without any pity in his heart. He then searched these people, collected their money and resources, burned the bodies, and then chased in the direction where the Evil Blood Swordsman fled.
…
In the Demonic Forest.
"We were clearly escaping in this direction, why can't we find it?"
Ling Chen frowned. The Evil Blood Swordsman had just escaped from here. With the latter's injuries, he couldn't get far.
It should be in this area.
In the dark broad-leaved forest, the smell of corruption was everywhere. Ling Chen slowed down and looked around. Then, a strong and pungent smell of blood suddenly came from not far away.
Ling Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and he followed the scent and walked towards the depths of the Demon Forest.
After walking only a dozen steps, Ling Chen arrived at a damp open space and suddenly discovered three bloody corpses. The strong smell of blood was coming from these three corpses.
The three corpses looked extremely miserable, their bodies were torn into pieces, their internal organs were taken out, and their brains were scattered everywhere, which was almost nauseating.
Ling Chen looked carefully and recognized the three people. They were none other than the Evil Blood Swordsman and the two disciples of the Divine Will Sect who were tracking him.
"Why did these three people die so miserably?"
Ling Chen suppressed his nausea and frowned tightly. Who on earth could it be? This method of killing was too cruel. It didn't seem like something a human would do, but rather something that a beast would do.
"It's not a good place to stay for long."
Tianmo Forest has always been a strange place, and rumors about demons and monsters have almost never ceased. Although these are mostly just rumors made up by busybodies, it is better to believe it than not. The deaths of these three people are strange, so we have to be on guard.
But before leaving, he had to collect the wealth from the three people.
Covering his nose, Ling Chen came to the three corpses that no longer looked like human beings and began to explore. What surprised him was that the person who killed the three of them did not take away their wealth, but left behind a lot of things, which was really surprising.
Just when they had almost collected all the wealth of the three people, suddenly, a violent commotion came from the nearby woods, and even the ground began to shake.
His expression changed slightly, and Ling Chen immediately jumped up onto a big tree next to him and hid.
Roar!
Ling Chen had just hidden himself when the ground trembled again. A huge black shadow as big as a hill appeared in sight, hammering the ground frantically.
After a closer look, Ling Chen also saw the true form of the black shadow. It turned out to be a black giant ape, two or three people tall, with black hair, a blue face, and red eyes, like a ghost. The black giant ape kept slapping the ground, revealing a very ferocious aura.
"Could it be that this beast killed the people?"
Ling Chen, who was on the tree, was secretly shocked. This black ape was obviously not an ordinary ape. There was a strange evil aura all over its body, as if it was instilled with demonic nature.
Judging from the large amount of blood remaining on the demon ape's body, the three evil-blood swordsmen were most likely killed by it.
However, just as Ling Chen's gaze fell on the black demon ape's body, the demon ape moved, turned around, and its eyes actually saw Ling Chen's hiding place directly .
"not good!"
Ling Chen subconsciously thought that something was wrong, and without thinking, he jumped down from the tree and fled in the opposite direction.
This demon ape is extremely powerful, he is no match for it at all.
boom!
As Ling Chen flew down from the tree, he heard a deafening roar behind him. The entire tree was knocked down by the demon ape, and the demon ape seemed to have locked onto him, chasing him madly.
"Is this beast crazy?"
Ling Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and he was still frightened. If he had retreated a little later, he would have been seriously injured if not dead.
However, Ling Chen was somewhat fortunate that this beast should not be able to catch up with him for the time being.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, the black demon ape suddenly jumped up from the ground. Its huge body was extremely agile and it burst out with amazing jumping power.
“Fuck!”
This scene made Ling Chen a little confused.
Just as Ling Chen reacted, the demon ape descended on him, grabbing him with its giant palm carrying a violent airflow.
Suddenly, the airflow around him turned into a fierce vortex, and his whole body was bound by a hidden force, like a small boat in a storm, unable to get out.
A catastrophe is about to come.
