Chapter 188: The Arrogant Inner Sect Disciples (2)

[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]

Chen Chuan turned and said to the two, "The situation in the valley is unknown, and there may be other dangers. You two return to the Sect first and wait for news; I can go alone to collect the blood lingzhi."

Hearing this, Wang Lan and Yang Shu were first taken aback, but then they understood Chen Chuan’s intention.

Although they wanted to witness the emergence of the thousand-year blood lingzhi with their own eyes, they also knew their strength was low. Entering would not only be unhelpful but could also become a burden or even cost them their lives for nothing.

Both were sensible people and immediately cupped their hands, saying, "In that case, Senior Brother Chen, please be careful. We will wait for the good news at the Sect."

Watching Wang Lan and Yang Shu’s figures disappear into the jungle, Chen Chuan no longer hesitated. With a move of his body, he turned into a blurry green shadow and silently glided into the massive valley.

The terrain inside the valley was more complex than it looked from the outside, with jagged rocks and tangled vines.

Based on the perception of the Eye of Wisdom and the location previously described by Wang Lan and the other, Chen Chuan quickly traversed through it.

He restrained his Aura to the extreme, moving like a phantom.

A moment later, he arrived at the edge of a relatively open woodland.

In the center of the woodland was a clear Demonic Beast lair, and on the stone wall next to the lair, a deep cave entrance was faintly visible.

And in a rock crevice not far above that cave entrance, a lingzhi, entirely blood-red, shaped like a cloud canopy, and emitting a rich fragrance of blood energy, was growing quietly.

Its color was so vivid and its Spiritual Energy so abundant; it was indeed the thousand-year blood lingzhi.

Guarding the lingzhi was an even more massive giant ape.

This giant ape was over three zhang tall, with knotted muscles all over its body, covered in thick dark-red fur; its copper-bell-sized eyes were blood-red, filled with an Aura of violence and slaughter.

Its fangs were exposed, foul-smelling saliva dripped from its mouth, and it emitted a terrifying pressure that made one’s heart skip a beat.

Its Aura had already reached the level of the Great Power Realm, Ninth Level.

And looking at the condensation of its Aura, it was probably only one step away from breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Bloodthirsty Violent Ape!"

Chen Chuan’s eyes narrowed.

This kind of Demonic Beast was famous for its violent strength and bloodthirsty nature; few Cultivators of the same level dared to provoke it.

This Bloodthirsty Violent Ape was guarding this place, clearly eyeing the majestic blood energy essence of the thousand-year blood lingzhi, intending to use its power to charge into the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But no matter what, Chen Chuan was determined to obtain this thousand-year blood lingzhi.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Cultivation Technique within Chen Chuan’s body instantly operated to its limit.

A majestic, mountain-like heavy Aura rose from within his body, his skin faintly glowing with a pale golden luster, and his blood energy power roared through his body like a great river.

"Roar!"

That Bloodthirsty Violent Ape’s Spiritual Sense was extremely sharp, sensing the threat almost the instant Chen Chuan’s Aura erupted.

It suddenly stood upright and let out an earth-shattering roar, the sound waves billowing and making the surrounding trees tremble.

Its blood-red eyes locked onto Chen Chuan, filled with the fury of being challenged.

The next moment, the Bloodthirsty Violent Ape’s massive body, carrying a fishy wind like a moving small mountain, violently trampled the earth and charged toward Chen Chuan.

Wherever it passed, the ground cracked, gravel flew, and its momentum was terrifying.

Facing this incredibly fierce impact, Chen Chuan’s eyes were calm as he moved his feet, instantly performing the Wind God Art.

His figure seemed to turn into a wisp of unrestrained breeze, as he slid sideways in an instant, skillfully avoiding the ape’s frontal collision.

Boom!

The violent ape smashed a fist into the spot where Chen Chuan had originally stood, instantly creating a deep pit in the ground, with earth and stones shooting out.

Having missed its strike, the violent ape became even more enraged, its thick arms carrying the weight of ten thousand jun as they swept across, intending to smash Chen Chuan in half.

Chen Chuan, however, advanced instead of retreating, the power of the Nine Revolutions Battle Scripture within him condensing in his right fist, which was wrapped in a pale golden light as he met the attack with a straightforward punch.

Bang!

Fist and arm collided, producing a dull sound like thunder!

A visible airwave erupted from the point of impact, snapping all the surrounding vegetation.

Chen Chuan’s figure swayed slightly before he stabilized himself.

Meanwhile, the Bloodthirsty Violent Ape let out a roar of pain, its thick arm actually being jolted high into the air, and a crack even appeared in the hard fur covering it.

In terms of strength, Chen Chuan, who cultivated the Nine Revolutions Battle Scripture, was not at all inferior to this Bloodthirsty Violent Ape, which was famous for being at the Great Power Realm Ninth Level Peak.

The violent ape, in pain, had its ferocity completely triggered; it pounded its chest frantically with both fists, making a sound like a beating drum.

It then lunged at Chen Chuan even more crazily, its claws tearing and fangs biting, its offensive like a violent storm.

Chen Chuan, relying on the peerless speed provided by the Wind God Art, wove through the ape’s violent attacks, his figure elusive, dodging fatal strikes at every critical moment.

At the same time, golden light shone on his fists as he brought the offensive power of the Nine Revolutions Battle Scripture into full play.

Every punch that landed was like a heavy hammer hitting iron, leaving clear fist marks on the violent ape, tearing its skin and flesh until it was bloodied.

The battle caused a massive commotion, with booms, roars, and collisions echoing through the valley and carrying far away.

Chen Chuan spotted an opportunity at the moment the violent ape’s movements stalled slightly due to severe pain.

His figure was like lightning as he instantly closed in on the opening at the violent ape’s chest; his Spiritual Qi surged and gathered, and a golden fist projection containing his full power struck the ape’s heart, a vital point.

Pfft!

The fist energy penetrated the body, destroying its internal organs and vitality.

The Bloodthirsty Violent Ape’s massive body suddenly stiffened, the light in its blood-red eyes quickly dimmed, and finally, with unwillingness and disbelief, it crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Chen Chuan slowly withdrew his fist and calmed the slightly agitated blood energy in his body.

Although resolving this Bloodthirsty Violent Ape took some effort, it did not exceed his control.

He delayed no longer and, with a tap of his toes, prepared to leap toward the thousand-year blood lingzhi in the rock crevice.

However, the very moment he had just plucked the lingzhi, which emitted an alluring luster and majestic blood energy, and stored it into his Storage Ring...

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Ten sounds of something piercing the air suddenly rang out.

The ten Taiyi Holy Land Inner Sect Disciples from before had returned, and as if by agreement, they all landed on the edge of the messy battlefield that had just finished.

Their gazes immediately fell on Chen Chuan’s right hand, which had just put away the Spirit Medicine, and the Storage Ring on his finger.

Immediately, everyone’s expressions changed, especially that of the leading beautiful female Disciple; in her cold and arrogant eyes, a flash of unconcealed amazement and greed instantly passed through.

Thousand-year blood lingzhi!

A Heaven and Earth Treasure like this, enough to move even a Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivator, was actually obtained by a fellow they had just regarded as an ant?

The arrogant male Disciple who had insulted Chen Chuan earlier took a direct step forward, staring hotly at Chen Chuan, his tone carrying a matter-of-fact assertiveness:

"Kid, hand over what you just got! That is not a treasure you are qualified to possess!"

Chen Chuan slowly turned around, his gaze calmly sweeping over these ten uninvited guests, taking in the unconcealed covetousness and malice in their eyes.

Trouble had indeed arrived.
