STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Hunting in North Mountain (Part 2)

“`

Whoosh!

The black shadow of the whip appeared and vanished in the air in an instant, and with a “snap” resonating loudly, the middle-aged martial artist who was fleeing through the air fell heavily to the ground, a fresh explosive tear on his body-protecting leather armor.

If it hadn’t been for the fifth-tier fiend beast leather armor, he would have definitely suffered broken bones and torn muscles, if not fatal injuries!

The middle-aged martial artist groaned as he hit the ground and rolled twice, his plight extremely dire.

He was in both pain and regret, crying out loudly, “Young master, spare my life, as long as you let me go…”

Whoosh!

The long whip, charged with terrifying power, lashed out again, its black tip like a venomous snake shooting out its tongue, striking for the middle-aged martial artist’s throat. The scales on its surface stood erect, gleaming with a cold light.

This was a sign of infused True Qi!

This Black Scaled Whip, close to the quality of Mysterious Weapons, had never been able to exhibit its real power in the hands of the middle-aged martial artist.

But now, in Wang Chen’s hands, it revealed its unmatched sharpness.

This whip was faster and more ferocious than the last. Despite the middle-aged martial artist’s desperate attempts to dodge, he was still struck on the shin.

Snap!

Although he was wearing shin guards, the quality of the guards was clearly inferior to his leather armor, and they were instantly reduced to shreds.

“Ah!”

A deep, bone-exposing wound immediately appeared on the middle-aged martial artist’s leg, skin and flesh ripped apart, blood spurting out.

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

The tremendous pain did not diminish the middle-aged martial artist’s combat strength; on the contrary, it completely unleashed his ferocity.

Once he realized that Wang Chen was not going to spare him, he suddenly leaped up. His joints cracked with a series of explosive sounds, and his entire body abruptly swelled.

His skin turned crimson, his muscles bulging, and his face twisted into a gruesome mask, making him look like a demon crawled out from the depths of hell!

In the next moment, the middle-aged martial artist, not caring about the consequences, burst out with his potential and lunged at Wang Chen. His hands were clenched into claws, his nails curved like hooks, resembling a fierce bird of prey pouncing on its target.

His momentum was extremely fierce!

Caught off guard by his opponent’s sudden outburst, Wang Chen paused for a moment, then sneered and dropped the Black Scaled Whip he was holding.

He stood his ground, unflinching, and raised his palms to meet the oncoming clawed hands.

In an instant, palms and claws collided!

Crack!

The middle-aged martial artist’s fingers on both hands broke at the same time and, along with his palms, burst into countless pieces of flesh and blood.

Immediately after, Wang Chen’s palms landed on his chest.

Thud!

The middle-aged martial artist was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground twenty or thirty paces away.

All his ribs were shattered, and his internal organs had been reduced to mush. He struggled to hold on to his last breath, not dying immediately.

Only when Wang Chen approached did this formidable middle-aged martial artist look up, squeezing out from his throat, “I, I will wait for you in the, the Netherworld…”

Wang Chen found it amusing and stomped on his head, crushing it!

[Qi-Blood +1000]

Hm?

The message that popped up in his field of vision caused Wang Chen to frown in confusion.

But before he could ponder it further, he discarded the corpse on the ground and went after the fleeing hunters.

It’s all about the Qi-Blood!

Half a two hours later, Wang Chen returned to the original spot.

He searched the middle-aged martial artist’s body but found nothing, nor any loot that caught his eye.

These guys had come just to hunt down Wang Chen!

As for the mastermind behind them, Wang Chen had a good idea.

He opened the panel.

However, Wang Chen didn’t have such problems, as he had completed the introduction by the second day.

[Name: Wang Chen (Chen Ergou)]

[Age: 16]

[Cultivation Level: Acquired]

[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method (Third Tier): 27/300]

[Skill: Unlimited Profound Skill (Great Achievement):1/400]

“`

[Skill: Unlimited Profound Skill (Intermediate) (Entry Level): 5/100]

[Skill: Bone-Tempering Tendon-Transforming Blood-Fueling Method (Great Perfection)]

[Qi-Blood: 2100]

[True Qi: 92/100]

Wang Chen had killed a total of eight enemies, six of whom each contributed 100 points of Qi-Blood value, one contributed 500 points, and the last, the middle-aged martial artist at his feet, offered 1000 points!

This harvest undoubtedly changed Wang Chen’s understanding of Qi-Blood value.

He had originally thought that being one tier higher meant ten times more Qi-Blood; if the third-order Bone Refining Realm had 100 points, then the fourth-order Blood-Refining Realm should have 1000 points.

Yet, that Blood-Refining Realm hunter gave him only 500 points, and it was the Marrow Refining Realm’s middle-aged martial artist who had 1000 points!

Although these results were beyond Wang Chen’s expectations, he didn’t feel disappointed, for 2000 points of Qi-Blood was already quite a lot, and what’s more, there was even an extra “True Qi” column on his status panel.

Most importantly, Wang Chen noticed that behind “True Qi” there was a “+” sign, just like with skills.

He tried tapping it.

Immediately two pieces of information appeared in his field of view.

[Qi-Blood -10]

[True Qi +1]

10 points of Qi-Blood to exchange for 1 point of True Qi?

No, it should be 1% of True Qi.

That’s still very good!

Wang Chen’s eyes lit up at once.

His ability to easily kill the middle-aged martial artist in explosive state relied on the martial True Qi he refined after reaching the Acquired level, delivering a dimensionality-reducing strike to his opponent.

This True Qi was equivalent to a cultivator’s mana, which would be continuously consumed in battle and wasn’t easy to recover, also needing time.

When Wang Chen was in the immortal realms, he would use the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net to replenish his mana after depletion.

His endurance in battle far surpassed his peers of the same tier.

After arriving in the Foggy Mountain Realm, all of his treasures became unusable, even spells were impossible to cultivate.

Right now, Wang Chen could only rely on his martial skills.

The ability to convert Qi-Blood into True Qi was undeniably a huge advantage for him.

2000 points of Qi-Blood could be exchanged for 200% True Qi, which was like cheating!

Wang Chen decided that he would always keep more than 1000 points of Qi-Blood in reserve, to serve as a trump card at critical moments.

He looked around, found nothing unusual, and then leaped toward the depths of the great mountain.

A general on march does not chase after a mere rabbit, and Wang Chen wasn’t about to let a few ghostly demons disturb his state of mind and plans.

His target was the high-tier fierce beasts lurking in North Mountain!

Not long after Wang Chen left, the nearby bushes suddenly shook a few times, and a young hunter, drenched in sweat, cautiously poked his head out, looking around.

After confirming it was safe, he whistled softly.

Some moments later, another older hunter hurried over.

The two of them stood there, stupefied, staring at the corpses on the ground.

“An, an Acquired powerhouse!”

The young hunter stammered, “We’ve gotten ourselves into a huge mess!”

The older hunter’s face was extremely grim, “The mission has failed, the boss is dead, we can’t return to Red Cliff City.”

The young hunter, with a troubled expression, asked, “What do we do now?”

Just as the older hunter was about to answer, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two feathered arrows flew through the air, one after the other, instantly piercing through their heads!

[Qi-Blood +500]

[Qi-Blood +100]

From a hundred paces away in the mountains, Wang Chen leisurely stowed his longbow and then silently turned to leave.

This time, he really left.
