Kill you

As the Demonic Beast blood essence was crazily injected into his body, countless active essences were crazily absorbed by Long Chen's blood.

Visible to the naked eye, Long Chen's blood and Qi began to rapidly swell. After one hour, once the active essence within thousands of catties of Demonic Beast blood essence had been completely absorbed.

The blood within Long Chen's body finally reached a state of saturation, which indicated that Long Chen could proceed with the next purification.

"Strike while the iron is hot."

Long Chen took a deep breath, and the Spiritual Qi within his Fengfu Star spun crazily, charging at the barrier with full force.

"Rumble."

The blood inside Long Chen's body surged crazily like boiling water, emitting a violent, rumbling sound.

Like magma flowing crazily underground, carrying endless energy, it began to burn unceasingly, sending the purest energy to every corner of his body.

"Boom."

Long Chen's Aura erupted; within a radius of a hundred zhang, gravel flew, and a powerful wave of air radiated in all directions.

"Haha, finally entered the eighth stage of Blood Condensation!"

Long Chen let out a cheer and swung his fist forcefully, feeling an inexhaustible amount of strength within his body, as if he would burst if he didn't release it.

"Wind-Breaking Fist."

Long Chen shouted loudly and smashed a fist toward a boulder beside him; that zhang-tall boulder was smashed into powder by a single punch.

"The strength of my Physical Body has increased even more powerfully; I even feel scared myself."

Long Chen looked at his fist, filled with excitement; indeed, his Physical Body was his greatest strength.

Compared to combat techniques and such, those were not what he excelled at; the greatest power of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was enhancing the strength of the Physical Body.

It was a pity that the speed of cultivation was too slow; otherwise, there would be no need to Cultivate any combat techniques. No matter what moves the opponent had, he could just smash them flat with one punch.

"It seems that the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art follows the path of a Body Cultivator; I must not neglect the root to pursue the branches, chasing after some powerful combat techniques. Strength is the true path."

Now that he had promoted to the eighth stage, Long Chen discovered that his strength had suddenly surged several times over, which further confirmed to him the true meaning of the so-called "Hegemon Body."

Although combat techniques could make attacks sharper, without the foundation of the body itself, no matter how powerful the combat technique was, it was useless.

Just like his Heaven Splitting, although he could now use it with peace of mind without being backlashed.

However, with the advancement of his cultivation base, he discovered that the might of Heaven Splitting became increasingly powerful and increasingly terrifying.

Besides the reason that Heaven Splitting itself was powerful, it was also because of Long Chen's own strength. Just like the Wind-Breaking Fist from just now, it was almost of no use to Long Chen now.

However, when used with his current strength, it was still comparable to an Earth Rank combat technique; this was a manifestation of his own strength.

Today, Long Chen formally determined his goal for cultivation; rather than wasting effort to pursue powerful Cultivation Techniques and combat techniques, it was better to work hard to improve his cultivation base.

After promoting to the eighth stage, Long Chen rested for a day to adapt to the strength that had just surged. The next day, he started searching for new targets again.

What surprised Long Chen was that the Chaotic Rock Wasteland was indeed the graveyard of the exiled; powerful third-rank Demonic Beasts were everywhere.

However, Long Chen was very careful in choosing Demonic Beasts. First, he had to choose fur-type Demonic Beasts with weaker defense; scaled Demonic Beasts were not considered for now.

One reason was that Long Chen's arrows basically could not pierce their defense; another was that all scaled Demonic Beasts had too high a resistance to toxins, so poison arrows could not exert their intended effect.

Additionally, scaled Demonic Beasts were mostly cold-blooded, had more muscle, and less blood essence, so it was simply not worth the loss.

Fortunately, Long Chen's Soul power was strong; he could observe Demonic Beasts from a long distance, set up traps in advance, and carry out meticulous planning.

Although Long Chen had advanced to the eighth stage of Blood Condensation and his Physical Body's strength was incomparably powerful, he was not arrogant enough to go and single-handedly fight a Middle Stage third-rank Demonic Beast.

This was not a game; if things went wrong, he would lose his life. Even if Long Chen was daring, he wasn't so abnormal that he could treat his own life like a child's game.

Ever since Long Chen arrived at the Chaotic Rock Wasteland, he had broken the original pattern here, and the roars of powerful Demonic Beasts could be heard from time to time.

Then, one Demonic Beast after another disappeared. Over the past half month or so, a total of seven powerful third-rank Demonic Beasts had died at Long Chen's hands.

However, what shocked Long Chen was that after absorbing the blood essence of seven third-rank Demonic Beasts, it still hadn't brought his blood and Qi to saturation.

He sensed it; the blood and Qi were only half full. In other words, to advance to the ninth stage of Blood Condensation, he would need at least another seven or eight third-rank Demonic Beasts' blood essence.

This made Long Chen's heart ache while feeling happy; such abnormal difficulty in leveling up would bring abnormal benefits.

However, he really needed time now. He was not alone; he needed to return early to take revenge and wipe away the shame.

His brothers' blood could absolutely not flow in vain, and he absolutely could not let Tang Waner suffer grievances for nothing. There were also those brothers who were loyal to the Heaven and Earth Society; he needed to go back early.

Otherwise, with the despicableness of Gu Yang, Lei Qianshang, Qi Xin, and the others, they would definitely desperately suppress everyone's development. He was afraid that Tang Waner and Ye Zhiqiu would not be able to withstand such great pressure.

However, he really couldn't speed up on his side. On one hand, he had to cautiously scout for Demonic Beasts, and on the other, he had to set up traps and devise plans.

Killing one Demonic Beast on average every two days, for a newbie in the Blood Condensation Realm, that was already a Heaven-Defying ability.

Most importantly, what Long Chen feared meeting the most now was a Late Stage third-rank Demonic Beast. If he met such a guy, he was afraid he wouldn't even have the chance to run away.

However, anxious as he was, there was no other way; he could only continue to kill Demonic Beasts in this manner.

Now, the Demonic Beasts within a radius of a thousand miles that could be killed had been killed; the remaining ones were basically those he couldn't defeat.

Long Chen could only explore further away. While he was cautiously exploring, suddenly a figure appeared in the distance, which shocked Long Chen.

In this place of exile, a living person had actually appeared; it was simply unbelievable. Long Chen hurriedly hid himself.

He secretly observed that person. That person looked to be around twenty years old. Strangely, there was no Aura on his body. If he hadn't seen him with his eyes, it would have been difficult to even capture him with Soul power.

"He actually took a Breath-Concealing Pill."

Long Chen saw the clue at a glance. He saw that young man look around, take out a jade disc from his hand, and tap it lightly.

Long Chen suddenly felt a heat at his waist, and his heart secretly cried out that it was bad; his Nameplate was fluctuating.

Just at the moment when the Nameplate at Long Chen's waist fluctuated, that person immediately looked toward Long Chen's side.

"Haha, Long Chen, you are actually still alive!" That person was overjoyed and appeared in front of Long Chen in a few leaps.

There was no point in hiding anymore at this moment, so Long Chen simply stood up, but a bad feeling emerged in his heart.

"Who are you?" Long Chen asked.

"Haha, my name is Feng Hai; I am your Senior Brother, sent by Elder Tu Fang to protect you. It's good that you are fine; then I can rest assured." That person chuckled, but a trace of gloom appeared deep in his eyes.

"In that case, many thanks, Senior Brother Feng. To tell you the truth, this little brother has been scared to death these past few days." Long Chen smiled.

"Normal. Even if I came here, I would also be scared half to death. Let's go; I'll take you back." As Feng Hai spoke, he came over to support Long Chen, very naturally, but his Qi was already quietly circulating.

Long Chen was full of gratitude and did not refuse Feng Hai's kindness at all, smiling: "Senior Brother Feng is truly a good person."

The smile on Feng Hai's face became even brighter; discovering Long Chen so easily was absolutely an unexpected joy.

He was still worried that Long Chen had already been eaten by Demonic Beasts. Now that Long Chen was still alive, as long as he subdued Long Chen, he could easily detain his Soul within the Soul-Locking Bead, and then his mission would be successfully completed.

Feng Hai looked at the completely unguarded Long Chen, a trace of mockery appearing deep in his eyes. His hand had already touched Long Chen's arm, and just as he was about to exert force to subdue Long Chen, a strong wind suddenly whistled toward his back.

Feng Hai could not help but be terrified. Long Chen was clearly face-to-face with him, but that attack had already reached his back. Too concerned to grab Long Chen, he hurriedly dodged to the side.

However, he did not go to grab Long Chen, but Long Chen grabbed Feng Hai's arm, not letting him dodge.

Feng Hai was greatly alarmed; looking at the cold smile on Long Chen's face, he immediately knew that Long Chen had long ago seen through his true face.

"Scram!"

He didn't have time to see what was behind him, but relying on Feng Hai's astonishing intuition, he felt a great threat. His entire body's Qi erupted, directly blasting Long Chen away.

"Ssh."

Although Feng Hai tried his best to dodge, his shoulder was still grazed by an arrow, and a blood groove was cut out.

Feng Hai was both shocked and angry. Just as he was about to make a move, suddenly, three more arrows came straight toward him.

"Clang."

His long sword unsheathed. Feng Hai flicked his hand, and a terrifying Sword Qi flew out, directly blasting those three arrows into powder.

"You dare to use hidden arrows to hurt someone?" Feng Hai looked at Long Chen with a face full of Killing Intent, no longer needing to conceal anything, revealing his ferocious face.

Long Chen patted the dust off his body and said slowly: "Do you think everyone in the world is as idiotic as you?

Elder Tu Fang, that person who is so upright he is almost heartless to his own kin, how could he possibly send someone to save me?

Moreover, being exiled was my own choice, and it was also approved by the Sect Leader. Even if you think with your butt, Elder Tu Fang wouldn't do something like this.

If I haven't guessed wrong, you are here to kill me, right? And the person who instigated you should be that old bastard with the surname Sun!"

Feng Hai was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "A bit interesting. I didn't expect you to know quite a lot.

Since you already know, I don't need to talk nonsense anymore. Hand over your spatial ring."

Long Chen shook his head, looked at Feng Hai, and said indifferently: "Why should I hand over the spatial ring? If I hand it over, will you spare my life?"

"No. However, this way you can suffer less. I can promise you that I will be quick; you won't feel pain." Feng Hai pointed his long sword at Long Chen and said.

Long Chen nodded and said: "What you said makes a lot of sense. If I resist, I will be chopped into seventy or eighty pieces by you; that would be very miserable and very painful.

If I don't resist, the pain will pass in an instant. This is indeed a very good proposal, but I have a better proposal."

"What proposal?" Feng Hai asked.

However, just after he finished asking, he felt something was wrong. A smell of rotting flesh rushed into his nose.

Long Chen smiled slightly. Have you finally realized it? Suddenly, his entire body's Aura erupted, and a huge fire blade in his hand slashed down toward Feng Hai.

"That is to slaughter you."
