Chapter 648: 557 Intelligence_1

A vast expanse of the black forest resounded with a deafening blast, as a tremendous blood light soared into the sky, strikingly visible.

After a while, the blast subsided, and tranquility returned to the area.

In the depths of the forest, a tall, slender youth clad in a blood-colored robe stood in a clearing. On his sleeve was embroidered a blood flame symbol, the mark of the Blood Flame Sect.

A black bear with a massive hole in its head lay dead on the ground, lifeless.

"There are way too many fifth-level Monster Beasts here!"

The youth in the blood robe muttered to himself, his expression turning cold as he released a brilliant blood light from his right hand, striking at a certain point in the void.

As the Void Fluctuation arose, a blood-colored giant hand materialized and struck down at a spot on the ground.

The ground shook violently, revealing a hundred-zhang-wide Yellow Giant Ape with bared teeth and an angry grimace.

The Yellow Giant Ape let out a sky-reaching howl, emitting a yellow sonic wave that shattered the blood-colored giant hand.

With a thunderous punch, the distorted space emitted a piercing tearing sound as a yellow giant fist blinked into existence, barreling towards the blood-robed youth.

Where the yellow giant fist passed, towering trees were snapped in half.

The blood-robed youth scoffed coldly. A surge of blood light emitted from his right hand, and the illusion of eight thick blood pythons spiraled around his body.

He slapped out with his palm, and a blood-colored giant palm flashed out to meet the attack.

The blood-colored giant palm clashed with the yellow giant fist, as futile as an egg striking a rock, instantly dissipating upon impact.

A flash of surprise flitted through the youth’s eyes. He hastily summoned a blood-colored shield in front of him.

The yellow giant fist slammed into the blood-colored shield, producing a muffled bang and leaving a clearly visible imprint of a fist.

A flash of golden light appeared, and a massive, enlarged golden brick materialized above the head of the blood-robed youth, smashing down toward him.

The blood-robed youth spat out a stream of blood flames that smelled foul, which landed on the golden brick. A puff of blue smoke rose, and its spiritual light dimmed.

He spat out two blood-light-circulating axes into his hands and wielded the Double Axes to chop at the golden brick.

With two "clangs," the golden brick acquired numerous fine cracks on its surface, which grew larger before it shattered into pieces.

A deafening thunder roared from high above as a thick silver lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking toward the blood-robed youth.

As he was about to dodge, thick Green Vines burrowed out of the ground, entangling his feet, while a powerful gravity took hold, firmly anchoring him in place.

The blood-robed youth, with no avenue for escape, quickly summoned a blood-colored umbrella and held it aloft, its surface adorned with a fierce Fierce Ghost Pattern.

The Fierce Ghost emitted a wailing cry, and the blood-colored umbrella released a thick blood light curtain that enveloped the youth.

The silver lightning column struck the blood light curtain, engulfing the youth’s figure in silver lightning.

A piercing cry of a bird sounded above, and a Thunder Roc with golden wings appeared in the sky. It spat out a thick bolt of golden lightning aimed at the blood-robed youth.

An immense blast resonated, and lightning surged.

A yellow stick wrapped in ceaseless flowing light hurtled forward, diving into the golden lightning with a thud. The youth in the blood robe was hurled backward, colliding with dozens of towering trees, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.

The yellow stick was halted by two blood-colored axes; otherwise, the blood-robed youth’s head would have been crushed.

The blood-robed youth crashed heavily to the ground, and before he could stand, thick Green Vines burst forth from the earth, wrapping him up like a rice dumpling.

He exuded a burst of blood-colored flames from his body, reducing the Green Vines to ashes.

A thick golden lightning column descended from the sky, striking the blood-robed youth, who let out a scream of agony.

As the lightning had yet to dissipate, hundreds of golden lightning balls pummeled down.

Amidst a series of piercing blasts, golden lightning swamped a thousand zhang in every direction, and shockwaves rolled across the land.

A yellow stick descended from the sky, plunging into the lightning and producing a sound akin to a thundering clash of metal, shaking heaven and earth.

The blood-robed youth wielded his blood-colored axes to block the yellow stick. His body was drenched in blood, bones visible, his vitality severely weakened.

A thick and long tail spike burst through the ground, striking his left thigh.

The youth in the blood robe felt numbness in his thigh, followed by difficulty breathing, and without time to catch his breath, another golden thunder pillar struck down, with the thunder light greatly intensifying.

Thunder Roc opened its mouth and spewed out thick golden thunder pillars, striking downwards.

After a while, when the thunder light dispersed, there was a huge pit on the ground, and the youth in the blood robe had turned into a charred corpse.

The corpse emitted a dazzling spiritual light, transforming into a round bead that circulated non-stop.

With a "pop," the bead shattered.

Seeing this, Thunder Roc fluttered its wings gently and disappeared in a flash of golden lightning.

No sooner had it left than a large expanse of blood mist emerged from the void, which suddenly condensed into the figure of the youth in the blood robe, his eyes cold and grim.

He brought out a blood-colored gourd the size of his palm, injected a spell into it, and immediately the blood-colored gourd emitted a surge of blood light, releasing a great expanse of blood-colored flames, which coalesced into a massive blood Jiao that pounced towards the Yellow Giant Ape.

The Yellow Giant Ape was not afraid in the least, throwing a punch with a flash of a gigantic yellow fist striking the head of the blood Jiao.

The body of the blood Jiao exploded, turning into a sky full of blood flames, and a blood-colored bead the size of a chicken egg flew out from within, shooting straight towards the Yellow Giant Ape.

Thick green vines burst through the ground and quickly wove into a giant green wall, blocking in front of the Yellow Giant Ape.

The blood-colored bead burst apart, turning into a thick blood-colored thunder light that shot up into the sky, engulfing a thousand zhang in every direction.

The blood robe youth’s body emitted a bright blood light as he attempted to escape.

A Four-Tailed Spirit Fox burrowed out from underground, and upon seeing it, the youth in the blood robe frowned.

The Four-Tailed Spirit Fox’s eyes shone with a blinding green light, revealing a vortex-like pattern.

The blood robe youth felt that the surroundings were becoming blurry, his gaze slackening.

"Not good, Pupil Skill!"

The blood robe youth quickly regained his clarity; after all, he was at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, and a Four-Tailed Spirit Fox at the initial phase of fifth rank couldn’t affect him for too long with its Pupil Skill.

A thick golden thunder pillar descended from the sky, striking the youth in the blood robe, who let out a scream of agony.

In battles between experts, victory or defeat can be determined in an instant.

As the golden lightning had yet to dissipate, hundreds of golden thunderballs came crashing down, most of them striking the youth in the blood robe.

A rumbling roar erupted, and the dazzling golden lightning enveloped the figure of the youth in the blood robe.

A gigantic rod, with yellow light circulating non-stop, flew in and penetrated into the lightning; the blood robe youth was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily onto the ground.

He felt as if his entire body had fallen apart, spitting out a large mouthful of essence blood, as a tail spike burst through the ground, striking his head.

The Nascent Soul flew out of the body, and Shen Long appeared next to it, his back sporting a pair of golden wings.

He grabbed the Nascent Soul and performed a Soul Search.

"The grand-disciple of the Blood Flame Sect’s Deputy Master, no wonder he’s so tough. He actually discovered a fifth-rank Sea Suppressing Ape. I didn’t expect such an unexpected gain," Shen Long muttered to himself.

The youth in the blood robe was the grand-disciple of the Blood Flame Sect Deputy Master Liu Xu and had entered the Secret Realm, where he discovered a Sea Suppressing Ape at the late phase of fifth rank. Unable to kill it alone, he planned to seek help from his sect members.

Shen Long searched the body and found a blood-colored Storage Bracelet. After scanning it with Divine Sense, his face lit up with joy.

There were over seventy million Spirit Stones alone, four Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, one hundred and thirty-five strands of Spiritual Medicine over three thousand years old, and a batch of Artifact Refining materials.

The Iron Tail Scorpion burrowed out from underground, its tail swaying left and right, and Shen Long fed the Nascent Soul and the corpse to it.

Thunder Roc separated from Shen Long, returning to the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

Shen Hai maneuvered a Blue Flying Boat over, and Shen Long stepped atop the Blue Flying Boat, saying, "Fifty thousand li in the southeast direction—there’s a Sea Suppressing Ape in the late phase of fifth rank."

Shen Hai pinched his spells, and the Blue Flying Boat immediately emitted a bright blue light, flying toward the southeast direction.
