Chapter 69: Fierce Blood Pill

  "Third Brother, this time the task given by our dads is too simple. They're just some mountain village savages, not even fun to play with! And they won't even let us send their heads over, saying someone will come pick them up themselves."

  A twenty-year-old young man with a strong back and waist, wearing black clothes, took a big bite of meat, wolfing it down, his expression indescribably ferocious.

  "Haha, still those few chicks are pretty good, tender and juicy, haha!"

  Another person of similar age wearing gray clothes stretched out his hand and pinched the air with a lustful expression.

  "Haha! Let's get a few more on the way tomorrow, haha!"

  The young man heard this and also burst out laughing loudly.

  "Fourth brother, don't just think about having fun, this is a test for us by our dads!"

  The young man in grey poured himself a mouthful of wine and spoke solemnly.

  "What did you say?"

  The young man in black asked.

  "Second Brother has already taken on a mission, and we're also at the right age. If we don't see some bloodshed soon, how can we follow Uncle and Elder Brother to roam freely in the ancient mountains?"

  The young man in grey clothes looked at him with envy all over his face.

  "Ah, yes! Second brother started working with dad at the age of 17. Eldest brother has been away for so many years and never came back to see us. Dad didn't say where he went either. I really miss those childhood days!"

  A young man in black clothes had a hint of nostalgia on his rough face, which was inconsistent with his rough and ferocious appearance.

  "I know this one!"

  The youth in grey robes smiled mysteriously and said.

  "Do you know? Tell me quickly, after we hand in our task to the dads, let's go find him, it's been ten years since we last saw each other!"

  The young man in black shouted loudly.

  "Hey, I can tell you, but you have to give me that bottle of 30-year-old Huadiao!"

  The young man in grey smiled quietly.

  "Third brother, I'm fine... I'll give it to you. When we were young, big brother doted on me the most. This time, I must go find him!"

  The young man in black clothes gritted his teeth and agreed.

  "Two years ago, I accidentally overheard Big Uncle and Fourth Uncle talking. Eldest Brother had sent a message from the Xuan Yun Sect, telling them to move as soon as possible, so... heh heh!"

  The young man in grey smiled complacently.

  "Xuán Yún Zōng, no wonder... it seems that from now on we can rest easy!"

  The young man in black suddenly realized.

  "Shh, be careful, walls have ears!"

  The young man in grey changed colour and hastily checked him from shouting wildly.

  "Haha, Third Brother, what are you afraid of? Even if there's someone with ears in this desolate place, I'll cut them off and use them to accompany my wine!"

  The young man in black clothes poured himself a drink and looked around with an air of abandon.

  Seeing him like this, the young man in gray clothes shook his head helplessly.

  "Really?"

  Suddenly, a cold and emotionless voice spread through the dark night, as if it came from the nine layers of hell, making people feel chilled to the bone.

  "Who?"

  "What kind of dog thing is this? Hiding its head and showing its tail! If you have guts, come out and face your grandfather!"

  The two were shocked, their intoxication instantly dispelled. They suddenly jumped up, drew out their weapons, and cast a cold, piercing gaze around them.

  When they saw a figure standing on the giant rock in the distance, under the dim night sky, the two people who had killed countless people shivered at the same time.

  Two blood-red streaks, several inches long, shot out from the eye area of that figure, and in the dim light, it was unclear whether it was a human or a ghost.

  Whoosh!

  The youth in grey robes shook his hand and threw out a silver awn, which shot to the front of the figure in an instant. Unable to see how the figure moved, it suddenly swept towards the bonfire.

  Hiss!

  What made the two men's hearts skip a beat was that the slender silver awl suddenly appeared in the hand of the blue-clad man, his hair disheveled and dancing wildly, and by the light of the fire, the two finally saw the newcomer's face.

  A slightly immature face, with a resolute expression that belies his age, with a hint of red in his eyes, and a large dark red birthmark near his left eye, making the whole person look a bit eerie.

  But then, the two of them let out a sigh of relief. The newcomer was clearly younger than them, so even if he was strong, how strong could he be?

  "I'm right here, come cut off my ears to drink with?"

  Li Chen's gaze swept over the two people with a heavy and condensed expression. From their conversation, it was clear that they were the ones responsible, but there seemed to be a black hand behind them.

  "Hah! You little brat, you're unlucky. Today grandpa hasn't had enough fun yet, so I'll use you to practice my skinning skills again!"

  The young man in black laughed with bloodlust.

  As they spoke, the silver scissors in his hand suddenly flashed and transformed into two short knives, which flew towards Li Chen.

  Under the seemingly rough appearance, a delicate and sinister heart is hidden. Being able to get so close to the two of them is absolutely not something an ordinary person can do; their move is definitely a killing blow.

  Silver sword flashing, light dancing, strong wind rising, as if a silver chain was rapidly swinging, although it didn't have the mighty aura of a true cultivator's attack, but there was a free and wild bloody aura that came from long-term killing.

  Ding Dong!

  Li Chen's feet remained still, his hands suddenly struck out, and under the flickering firelight, it seemed as if he had vanished, yet he hadn't used any true energy.

  "Third brother, let's get going, together!"

  The black-clad youth had barely finished speaking when the grey-clad youth charged forward, a dark blue sword in hand radiating a brilliant glow, slicing through the darkness and creating bursts of energy.

  The gray-clothed youth's swordsmanship was agile and elusive, but the strange and unpredictable moves within his technique contained a sharp and sinister killing intent that floated aimlessly.

  Two vastly different martial arts techniques converged in one place. If it were someone of the same level, they might have been caught off guard and lost their way.

  But Li Chen's cultivation was extraordinary, his eyesight even more so, with a crackling sound all over his body, his entire body seemed to have risen by a circle.

  Clang!

  The sound of gold and iron suddenly rose, the young man in gray clothes cut at Li Chen's body, but actually only tore open his shirt, without even a single drop of blood leaking out, and was immediately shocked.

  "A first-rate martial artist at his peak, Fourth Brother, he's a cultivator of the Body Tempering Technique, can't be underestimated in battle!"

  The youth in grey robes shouted loudly, his sword moves changing suddenly, like layers of clouds and fog enveloping Li Chen's entire body.

  "Have you left?"

  Li Chen coldly smiled, without dodging or evading, and forcibly took several swords, then suddenly burst out with a tiger's roar fist.

  Ping Pong!

  The young man in black only felt a surge of great power coming, the scissors in his hands could no longer be held, and were instantly blown away by a fierce fist.

  His body was uncontrollably flying backwards, his chest heaving with blood and energy surging up, and a mouthful of blood shot out.

  "Fourth brother, go!"

  The youth in grey was shocked and hurriedly used all his strength to circulate his inner energy, blocking Lei Chen who was about to launch a follow-up attack.

  "Third brother, I'm going to kill him!"

  The young man in black clothes jumped up with congested eyes, reached into his pocket and pulled out a jade bottle, snapped it open, and swallowed the crimson pill inside.

  "Don't..."

  The young man in grey clothes who was pressed by Li Chen and couldn't breathe, still couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

  Roar!

  A sound unlike human voice suddenly came out, the young man in black clothes had a sudden burst of blue veins all over his face, and his already ferocious face was covered with mud mixed with blood, emitting an aura like that of a malevolent spirit.

  His figure flashed, several times faster than before, his majestic body rushed towards Li Chen like a mad tiger.

  "Do you think just eating a Blood Pill will be enough?"

  Having lingered in the ancient Cangshan Mountains for a long time, Li Chen naturally knew about many top-notch warriors' life-saving spiritual elixirs.

  This Blood Elixir is one of them.

  But it's not a healing pill, but a secret pill that can turn blood into gas and instantly increase cultivation.
