In the middle of the Flowing Cloud Sect's training ground, a blood cocoon stood.
Strange runes appeared below, continuously drawing away the blood from the many Flowing Cloud Sect disciples who appeared to have died fighting each other in the training ground, and merging it into the blood cocoon.
As more blood was absorbed, the evil aura within the blood cocoon grew stronger and stronger.
He had already subtly reached the Innate Realm level.
What is that?
The man with the sword looked astonished; it was the first time in his life he had ever witnessed such a bizarre and evil scene.
Lu Qing stared intently at the blood cocoon, and soon, information about the blood cocoon appeared in his field of vision.
【Blood Demon Cocoon: A blood cocoon formed by absorbing the essence of living beings and transforming it using an ancient secret technique of the Blood Demon path.】
【Those who form the Blood Demon Cocoon can quickly break through their bottlenecks, emerge from the cocoon, and thus forge a Blood Demon Body, becoming invulnerable to blades and spears, and possessing boundless strength.】
【Demonic and evil arts can drastically alter a person's temperament, making them cruel and violent. Those who cultivate the Blood Demon Body can no longer be called human; they must feed on blood and become bloodthirsty monsters.】
...
Lu Qing was somewhat surprised when he saw the note that appeared in his field of vision.
This trip to Yunzhou was truly wonderful.
Not only did they witness ancient formations, but now even bizarre and evil creatures like the Blood Demon Cocoon have appeared.
“Master, this is the Blood Demon Cocoon, which is teeming with a monster called the Blood Demon. We need to destroy it immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with once the monster appears.”
Lu Qing immediately replied.
Upon hearing this, the old doctor immediately unleashed a powerful sword aura, slashing towards the blood cocoon.
The swordsman beside him also unleashed several sword strikes.
Lu Qing then drew out three long arrows and shot them swiftly, targeting the upper, middle, and lower parts of the blood cocoon.
Just as the three attacks were about to strike the blood cocoon.
Suddenly, a strange change occurred. Many blood-red tentacles suddenly appeared on the surface of the blood cocoon and rushed towards the three people's attack.
boom!
A violent explosion rang out as the powerful forces collided.
As it exploded, bursts of blood mist erupted, along with nearby corpses, which were also blown away.
"Um?"
Amid the explosion, Lu Qing and the old doctor both frowned.
They all sensed that the previous attack had not seemed to have threatened the blood cocoon.
"Hahahaha..."
Sure enough, before they could see the situation below clearly, a wild laugh suddenly came from within the blood mist.
Immediately afterwards, an explosion rang out, and the blood mist below was suddenly blown apart, swept by a gust of wind, and slowly dissipated.
Lu Qing and the other two looked closely.
The blood cocoon that had been there before had broken open, turning into a mess of dirty blood on the ground.
A figure was standing where the blood cocoon had originally been.
The figure was completely naked, with disheveled hair, and his eyes glowed red. He exuded a powerful and evil aura of bloodlust and violence.
Lu Qing immediately focused his attention on looking at it.
【Mo Zhen: The current sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect, father of Mo Xuan. He is cruel, bloodthirsty, selfish, and extremely cunning.】
【Cultivation: The Blood Demon Body is in its initial stages, comparable to the Lesser Completion of the Innate Realm; its physical strength is powerful, even surpassing it.】
【He is ruthless and cunning, secretly practicing evil arts. In order to achieve a rapid breakthrough, he uses formations to bewitch and kill his disciples, extracting their essence and blood to condense blood cocoons.】
"Mo Zhen, it's you!"
Just as Lu Qing finished reading the few words that appeared in his field of vision, he heard the sword-wielding man next to him shout.
"As the leader of a sect, you have even harmed your own disciples in order to cultivate evil arts. You have truly degenerated into a demon!"
The man with the sword sensed the powerful aura emanating from Mo Zhen and immediately understood what was happening.
"Hahaha... You all forced me to do this!"
If you hadn't killed the two Supreme Elders and tried to destroy my Liuyun Sect, I wouldn't have ended up like this!
However, I must also thank you. Ever since I obtained the secret technique, I have been unable to make up my mind about whether or not to absorb human essence and blood to cultivate immortal techniques.
But now I realize that human essence and blood are so delicious, better than any elixir or panacea. No wonder my grandfather and his family were so crazy about it.
With such power, what do sects matter? Even wives and children can be killed!
Mo Zhen looked at his hands with a kind of fascination, feeling the surging power within his body. He laughed heartily, and a powerful aura continuously vibrated and emanated from his body, exuding an extremely evil aura.
“Mo Zhen has gone mad.” Looking at Mo Zhen’s arrogant laughter, the man with the sword looked grim. “Senior, we must kill him. Otherwise, if he escapes, the entire world will be doomed.”
"You want to kill me? Do you even have the ability?"
Before the old doctor could answer, Mo Zhen already showed disdain.
Having just formed the Blood Demon Body, his power has surged, and he is now at the peak of his confidence.
He was confident that even if all three of them attacked him together, they would not be a match for him.
"Perfect timing. I haven't tasted the essence blood of a Primordial Realm cultivator yet. I wonder how delicious it will be."
Mo Zhen looked at the three old doctors, licked his lips, and his face was full of bloodlust.
The evil aura emanating from him surged once more, causing even the sword-wielding man to feel a sense of unease.
His expression changed drastically. What kind of evil technique had Mo Zhen cultivated that allowed him to suddenly become so powerful?
At this moment, the aura emanating from him seemed to be much stronger than that of the Mo Hu brothers.
"Heh, as expected, after turning into a monster, even his IQ has dropped a lot."
Just then, Lu Qing suddenly chuckled and shook his head.
He turned his head and said, "Master, Senior Yan, my hands are itching. In this battle, why don't I take the lead and you stay here and cover for me?"
"Young master, what did you say?"
The man with the sword was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard.
Even the old doctor looked at Lu Qing with suspicion: "Qing, are you telling the truth?"
The figure below was powerful, even to him; it was not so easy to deal with.
“Indeed, this disciple is eager to test my skills and wants to fight this demon to verify some of my recent cultivation insights.” Lu Qing nodded seriously.
The old doctor looked at the seriousness on Lu Qing's face, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead."
"Then the disciple went down."
With his master's permission, Lu Qing placed the bow and arrows at his feet and jumped down.
"Senior..." the sword-wielding man suddenly became anxious.
"It's alright." The old doctor raised his hand to stop him. "Aqing never does anything without being sure of success. Since he wants to fight that person down there, he must have his reasons."
The swordsman hesitated, but seeing that the master and disciple had made this decision, he could only shut up and look at Lu Qing's back with great concern.
Although Lu Qing had previously killed Mo Hu.
However, at that time, the black fox had already lost an arm and had been severely injured by the old doctor's sword energy, resulting in a great loss of vitality. Furthermore, due to the extreme consumption of its spiritual power while guarding the formation, its strength had been weakened to an unknown extent.
However, the aura emanating from Mo Zhen below was clearly stronger than that of Mo Hu at his peak.
Moreover, he possesses mysterious and unpredictable evil magic.
Therefore, he was not optimistic about this battle.
"Boy, how dare you come down here?"
Mo Zhen was quite surprised to see Lu Qing jump down from the mountain gate and walk towards him.
He had originally been thinking about how to capture Lu Qing and the other two in one fell swoop, ensuring that none of them could escape.
I never expected that kid would dare to jump down himself.
"There's no need for my master to take action against a heretic like you. I'll handle you myself."
Lu Qing walked until he was about three zhang away from Mo Zhen before stopping and smiling slightly.
"You?"
Mo Zhen looked Lu Qing up and down, a mocking expression on his face.
He had escaped from Liuyun Town long ago and was unaware of what happened afterward.
Upon returning to the sect, he saw that his grandfather's soul jade tablet was broken, and knew that both of the Grand Elders had met with misfortune.
However, it is unclear how they all died.
They had never witnessed Lu Qing's strength.
In his view, this greenhorn in front of him was simply courting death.
To be honest, of the three people who came this time, he was only wary of the old doctor and the man with the sword, both of whom were at the Innate Realm.
As for Lu Qing, he never took him seriously from the beginning.
After all, in his perception, Lu Qing posed no threat to him whatsoever.
The three arrows he had shot earlier had not harmed him in the slightest.
"That's right, me."
Lu Qing took out the boxing gloves, put them on, and moved his wrists around.
Then, looking at Mo Zhen, her eyes lit up.
"Your name is Mo Zhen, right? And that Mo Hu is your grandfather."
Perfect timing! I've recently gained some insights into cultivation and want to test them out. You seem quite resilient; you should be a good punching bag.
I hope you can withstand a few more of my punches, instead of being as useless as your grandfather, who couldn't even withstand one of my punches, preventing me from honing my boxing skills.
"What did you say......"
Mo Zhen was taken aback, but Lu Qing didn't want to waste any more words with him. He strode forward, a tiger's roar emanating from his body, and threw a straight punch at Mo Zhen's head.
"That tiger's roar..."
The man with the sword who had been watching the battle from the mountain gate immediately understood what was happening when he heard the tiger's roar.
It turns out that the tiger's roar that resounded throughout Liuyun Town was actually produced by Lu Qing's fist technique.
"This fist technique!"
Sensing the power of Lu Qing's punch, Mo Zhen's eyelids twitched, and surprise appeared in his eyes. His previous contempt for Lu Qing completely vanished.
The fact that Lu Qing could unleash such a fist technique showed that his cultivation level was far beyond his expectations.
However, with this amount of power, it is not enough to defeat him.
Seeing Lu Qing's fist approaching, Mo Zhen grinned, neither dodging nor yielding, and also clenched his right fist and threw a punch.
BOOM!!!
The two fists collided, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that caused the surrounding air currents to explode and rage.
Amidst the burst of energy, Lu Qing staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his footing, shaking his slightly aching wrist.
"They weren't killed by the shockwave?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Mo Zhen's face.
He was well aware of just how powerful the force he possessed was.
If he were before his breakthrough, and he had taken such a punch, even if he didn't die, he would have been crippled by the shock, with all his bones broken.
But this kid in front of me only felt pain in his wrist, and his blood and qi were not even disordered?
Who exactly is this kid? At such a young age, how can his strength be stronger than that of a martial arts grandmaster?
More importantly, he did not sense any innate true energy from Lu Qing.
When Lu Qing exchanged blows with him just now, he used the power of his qi and blood.
This kid's a bit weird!
A thought flashed through Mo Zhen's mind.
"The Blood Demon Body is indeed extraordinary. You are much stronger than your useless grandfather."
Lu Qing felt around and found that her wrist was fine. She looked at Mo Zhen, but there was still no sign of panic on her face.
But his words made Mo Zhen's pupils shrink suddenly: "Boy, do you know about the Blood Demon Body?"
"Heh, the Blood Demon Technique is nothing special, it's not like it's a particularly secretive skill. Why wouldn't I know it?"
Lu Qing remained calm and assumed a fighting stance once more: "Your Blood Demon Body does indeed possess some skill, enough to warrant my serious attention."
"How dare you! Since you refuse to talk, then prepare to die! I refuse to believe you can still be stubborn under my Blood Demon Technique!"
Mo Zhen's face revealed a violent expression, his eyes grew even more bloodshot, and with one step, he was already in front of Lu Qing. He tore through the air with his palm and slapped at Lu Qing's head.
After mastering the Blood Demon Body, Mo Zhen gave up using weapons.
He firmly believes that his own body is now the strongest weapon!
At this moment, Mo Zhen stopped testing the waters and immediately used 80% of his power.
He believed that with his powerful physical strength, even a martial artist at the Innate Realm would not be able to withstand him.
However, just as Mo Zhen was full of confidence and about to crush Lu Qing's head,
Suddenly, he felt his body sink, an invisible force pulling at his entire body, causing his attack to involuntarily halt.
It was during this brief pause that his vision blurred, and he realized that Lu Qing, who was under his palm, had disappeared.
The hand that was supposed to crush Lu Qing's head instead grasped empty air.
Not only that, after his attack failed, he felt an extremely terrifying aura suddenly appear in front of him, which made his heart involuntarily contract and ache.
"What's this?"
Mo Zhen looked up and saw that Lu Qing had appeared a zhang away at some point.
A faint yellow light emanated from his body, and his aura was so powerful that it made him tremble.
"This is a new move that I recently figured out."
Lu Qing noticed the shock in Mo Zhen's eyes and said calmly.
"Originally, I wanted to test it on your grandfather, but unfortunately he was too weak and couldn't even withstand a punch from me in my normal state."
"You've forged the Blood Demon Body, your physical strength far surpasses his. Perfect, let him experience the power of this move firsthand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qing reached out and made a loose grasping motion with Mo Zhen's hand.
With this movement, Mo Zhen immediately felt his body sink again, becoming extremely heavy, just like before.
At that moment, a loud bang was heard, and Lu Qing's figure disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was less than three feet in front of Mo Zhen.
He raised his hand and threw a punch straight at Mo Zhen's heart.
boom!
Bound by that strange power, Mo Zhen had no time to dodge or defend himself. He was punched in the chest by Lu Qing and sent flying backward.
