Chapter 818: Chapter 790: One Mountain Cannot Harbor Two Tigers, Unless...

The long knife is like a sword; its blade is as red as blood.

The name of the knife—Red Moon!

"I’m ready!"

In Li Chen’s hands, the Red Moon began to emit a restless and uneasy aura.

Standing in front of Li Chen at this moment were creatures resembling lions.

However, these ’lions’ had excessively long fangs, and atop their heads, a single horn protruded. Even their fur was a blood-red color.

It was the same blood-red as the Red Moon.

But these were not what Li Chen was focused on; what made him cautious was the aura that these two Single-Horned Blood Lions emitted.

It was the aura that belonged only to the Profound Level.

"Two Profound Level Primordial Beasts, this could be troublesome," Li Chen frowned.

Although he did not know the exact strength of the two Single-Horned Blood Lions, Li Chen could sense that the strength of these two Primordial Beasts was at least above the Profound Level.

With his current strength, if they were at the Mysterious Level Beginner Stage, he could cope, but if they were at the Intermediate Stage, then it would be troublesome.

"Moreover, why are there two such powerful Primordial Beasts here?"

Li Chen parried an attack from one of the Blood Lions with his Red Moon and retreated a distance, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Chen’s mind.

A single mountain cannot house two tigers, unless they are male and female?

"Clang!!"

Another Blood Lion attacked from behind Li Chen, and again he parried it with a single stroke of his knife, but his footing became unsteady, causing him to stagger.

At the Profound Level, even Primordial Beasts could muster extremely formidable combat power.

The Blood Lion that had initially attacked seized this opportunity and suddenly lunged at Li Chen.

Li Chen, with unsteady footing, barely managed to raise his knife in defense. Although he blocked the Blood Lion’s strike, the impact sent him flying.

"Thud!"

Li Chen, who had fallen to the ground, quickly got up and again watched the two Blood Lions with heightened alertness.

From this brief exchange, Li Chen had already roughly estimated the strength of these two monsters.

"One, at the Mysterious Level Intermediate Stage!"

"The other one..." Li Chen looked towards the noticeably larger Blood Lion with a somber expression.

"Very likely, it is at the Profound Level Advanced Stage!"

Primordial Beasts had inherently stronger physical strength than humans; this was Li Chen’s most accurate judgment.

It was unlikely that humans of equivalent strength could match up to Primordial Beasts, and Li Chen had a profound understanding of this.

Although Li Chen’s strength had advanced to the Mysterious Level Intermediate Stage after the last battle with the two brothers, he had defeated them in two separate fights.

Yet Li Chen’s strength had improved even further during this period.

But this time, he was facing two Profound Level Primordial Beasts at once, and these two beasts could very well be more powerful than those two brothers!

"It seems I have no choice," a hint of helplessness crossed Li Chen’s face. He didn’t want to reveal Red Moon’s trump card so soon, but if he continued to hide it, in the end, the only one who would suffer was himself.

"Roar——"

True Qi surged around Li Chen’s body.

In his hands, the Red Moon began to undergo a series of eerie changes.

The once immaculate Red Moon suddenly saw a rolling of red.

It was as if the blood that had once been absorbed by the Red Moon was coming to life, and a cold chill began to emanate from the blade.

The temperature in the vicinity dropped sharply in this moment.

Feeling something amiss, the Blood Lions instinctively stepped back a few paces and started to growl deeply at Li Chen.

"I didn’t want to fight," Li Chen said softly, shaking his head as he looked at the two Blood Lions: "But I came here seeking answers, and I won’t leave until I find them. I must get past this point."

"Hiss hiss..."

Behind Li Chen’s head, the black hair that had reverted to its original color once again began to transform into blood-red, wildly and wantonly growing.

Blood Hair, Blood Knife.

Li Chen slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his pupils too turned blood-red.

"Fight." Parting his lips slightly, two emotionless words escaped from Li Chen’s mouth.

"Roar!!"

The two Blood Lions, their fur also exploding in an instant, pounced towards Li Chen simultaneously.

"Clang clang clang..."

Their razor-sharp claws collided frenziedly with Red Moon.

For the Blood Lions, beyond their claws, obviously, they possessed other weapons.

By Li Chen’s side, seizing the opportunity, the Mysterious Level Advanced Stage Blood Lion suddenly opened its gaping maw, biting towards Li Chen’s neck.

Currently entangled by the Mysterious Level Intermediate Stage Lioness, Li Chen could hardly react; at this critical juncture, all he could do was slightly tilt his body to the side.

"Crack!"

The gaping maw abruptly clamped onto Li Chen’s shoulder.

In an instant, blood splattered.

Even more chilling, from the bones in Li Chen’s shoulder came a series of nerve-racking sounds.

That was the sound of bones grinding against teeth.

Li Chen dropped to one knee, delivering a forceful knee strike into the comparatively fragile abdomen of the Blood Lion.

The male Lion felt the pain and released its bite.

Li Chen took the chance to fling the Lioness away, then leaped up, landing a swift side kick on the male Lion’s head.

In a flash, the male Lion was sent flying by Li Chen’s kick.

Turning to assess the injuries on his shoulder, Li Chen furrowed his brows.

Red Moon flickered, and the originally spurting wound immediately stopped bleeding, more bizarrely was that the blood began to flow back into the wound.

"But, I’m still affected." Li Chen tried to move his left arm, discovering that indeed it had become somewhat sluggish.

"Red Moon, after all, is not omnipotent," Li Chen sighed softly in his heart.

Whether he could survive and win this battle still depended on himself.

At this moment, Li Chen was somewhat astonished to find that the two Blood Lions, after being repelled by him, stood together.

"Hm?"

A strong sense of threat suddenly surged within Li Chen’s heart.

Without time to think further, Li Chen saw that the two Blood Lions simultaneously opened their mouths towards him, a strong sulfur smell was almost suffocating.

"Roar!!!!"

With the enormous soundwaves came two ferocious waves of scorching flame.

With no time to dodge, Li Chen immediately lifted Red Moon in his hand.

An icy chill surged forth in an instant.

"Roar!!"

Frost formed by True Qi and the aura of Red Moon blocked the wave of fire in the first instant.

But Li Chen was, after all, just one man.

Under the sweltering press of the inferno, Li Chen’s footsteps started to slide continuously backward.

"Damn it! What kind of monsters are these? Why can each and every one either spew water or breathe fire?!" Li Chen’s face soured.
