Chapter 107 Blood Demon Shield

The cold wind was biting, and the winter in the Boundless Forest was exceptionally desolate, with far fewer Cultivators hunting Spirit Beasts.

Chen Li, bringing the Spirit Cat, flew out of the Small Mountain Pavilion. Those two Demonic Path Cultivators were one hundred and forty li away from him.

Chen Li began to approach them. Unless the opponent was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it would be difficult to discover him from over a hundred li away.

If the opponents also possessed a Spirit Beast like a Spirit Cat, they should have discovered him as well.

Although they were constantly changing direction now, their overall trajectory, after winding around, was still toward Yuanwu Prefecture in the Nanwu Kingdom.

Since those two Demonic Path Cultivators had not appeared for several months, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the patrolling Golden Core Yang Family and Luo Family would not keep staring at them continuously. During this time, Zhu Lingyue had informed him of some news via a sound transmission stone.

That is, there were continuously appearing hidden Foundation Establishment Demonic Path Cultivators between Duan Ya Mountain and the Taihu Mountain Range.

Moreover, most of them were in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and the number was quite large. Therefore, their main focus was on these Demonic Path Cultivators, rather than dedicating significant manpower and Cultivators for just one or two Demonic Path Cultivators.

Chen Li slowly approached them, and they were also slowly moving in his direction.

When the distance was only fifty li, Chen Li stopped and began setting up Formations. However, the area was too vast, so Chen Li could only disperse and set up more than a dozen sets based on his experience.

These dozen or so sets, spread over such a large area, could only rely on luck. If they were lucky enough to run into one, things would become much simpler.

After setting up the trapping Formations, he also began setting up Fourth Grade offensive Formations, also arranged according to his combat experience.

However, he still had the Fourth Grade Immortal Slaying Formation and the Fifth Grade Poison Toad Formation in his Storage Pouch, along with three backup sets of Fourth Grade Spirit Trapping Formations, three sets of Thousand Thunder Arrays, and ten Fourth Grade Defensive Formation Arrays.

Chen Li activated his Divine Sense. His Divine Sense, as a Five Spiritual Roots Cultivator at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage, seemed to only reach eight li, apparently hitting a limit.

It had only increased by one li compared to the seven li of the Late Foundation Establishment Stage; this should be the limit imposed by the Realm level.

With his Divine Sense active, the locations of the nearby Spirit Trapping Formations and offensive Formations were all clear in his mind.

If not activated, the Formation Flags are very concealed. When inscribed, they are always marked with hidden Formation patterns. Unless one proceeds step by step, or is proficient in Formations, or has a much higher Realm, they are almost impossible to detect.

Chen Li was now waiting for them to come closer. If the Formations failed to trap them, Chen Li would also attack head-on to kill the two of them; it would just take some time.

These two must die, otherwise, the future troubles would be endless!

Chen Li was currently using the Qi Concealment Art and the Atmosphere Returning to Heaven Dispersion Method. With these two enhancements, the opponents' Divine Sense could not detect him.

Time passed little by little with the cold wind blowing, and the two of them also arrived.

After a few dozen breaths, the opponents entered the range of his eight-li Divine Sense. Chen Li subtly scanned them.

They did not notice anything.

Chen Li locked onto the two of them—Demonic Path Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. His Burial Fire was also growing restless.

Eight li, seven li, five li, three li!

At three li, the opponents had entered the territory where he had set up Formations. He wondered if any of the dozen dispersed Spirit Trapping Formations would hit the mark.

Chen Li focused his Divine Sense on those Formations. As soon as they entered, he immediately activated the Formations.

Three li away, Luo Sheng and the An Family Head were moving quickly. Since no one had pursued them for the past few days, they were certain that the Cultivators with Soul-Chasing Dogs were not nearby.

The cost of five months meant there was a very high probability that they would not be constantly watched.

As Nanwu Kingdom got closer and closer, they were at the edge of the Boundless Forest. Greedy killing intent overflowed from Luo Sheng's eyes!

The An Family Head reminded him, "Husband, let's conceal our Qi!"

"Good!"

However, at the very moment they spoke, an energy shield instantly enveloped them!

A few seconds earlier, Chen Li saw them enter the range of one Spirit Trapping Formation. Chen Li immediately formed a hand seal to activate the Formation, then used an escape technique to reach outside the Formation.

He was now using an escape technique to chase people, which was quite ironic.

Within the three-li range, Chen Li, with his Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, reached outside this Formation in just a few breaths the moment it activated.

A few breaths ago, at the instant Luo Sheng and the An Family Head were casting their Qi concealment Spell, a set of Spirit Trapping Formation instantly enveloped them.

Luo Sheng's expression changed instantly. He initially thought it was those Cultivators possessing Soul-Chasing Dogs, but after waiting a few breaths, he realized it was a middle-aged Cultivator.

Chen Li was disguised as a middle-aged Cultivator. He was still using the Luo Family's Third Grade Illusionary Movement Art, but his identity probably wouldn't be hidden for long. He did not use Qi Concealment in a corner to maintain the Formation because the field of vision was better here, allowing him to actively launch an attack.

At this moment, explosions were incessant inside the Formation.

"Husband, this is not an ordinary Fourth Grade Spirit Trapping Formation. A Fourth Grade wall-breaking talisman won't work; we need a Fifth Grade one!" the An Family Head said to Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng also felt it. He looked at the middle-aged Cultivator and felt a sense of familiarity!

At this time, Chen Li immediately set up a Fourth Grade Thousand Thunder Array outside the trapping Formation.

Then he directly activated it to its maximum intensity.

Inside the Formation, the two continuously used ten Fifth Grade Demonic Explosion Talismans before the Formation was finally broken! The two breathed a sigh of relief, but felt extremely pained, as this had exhausted their family savings!

Since they had completely converted to the Demonic Path, their previous Golden Core savings could no longer be used!

These Demonic Path Talismans were all bought after they sold those Golden Core assets.

Some Cultivators practiced both Righteous and Demonic Paths, so some people did business on both sides, being very interested in the assets of Righteous Path Golden Core Cultivators.

But they were different. After using the method of filling their bodies with demonic Qi, they only had one path left: dispersing their Spiritual Qi to maintain a pure Demonic Body, only then could they continue to fill their bodies all the way!

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, waves of lightning energy suddenly rushed toward them.

The An Family Head recognized it at a glance: the Thousand Thunder Array!

"It's the Chen Family! That person might be Chen Li!"

The An Family Head shouted loudly. Luo Sheng stared intently at the middle-aged Cultivator controlling the Formation Plate outside the Formation. Considering the Fourth-rank Formation Master, the just-broken Spirit Trapping Formation, and now the Thousand Thunder Array, it was highly likely to be that Chen Li!

The lightning energy surged toward them, forcing them to take out something obtained by exchanging their Golden Core savings—a Fifth Grade defensive Magical Artifact, the Blood Demon Hood.

The Thousand Thunder Array unleashed a barrage, striking the Blood Demon Hood with loud crackling sounds, causing wisps of black smoke to rise from the Blood Demon Hood.

Chen Li had just set up the Fourth Grade Poison Toad Formation and the Fifth Grade Poison Toad Formation behind him. He planned to deploy them after the lightning energy from the Thousand Thunder Array was released, otherwise, deploying them now would cause the lightning energy to be discounted!

Unfortunately, he did not pile up refined thunder ore near the Formation Flags, so after one wave of release, the lightning energy of the Thousand Thunder Array weakened!

Chen Li directly added two more sets, throwing in the remaining two Thousand Thunder Arrays, inserting them into the original positions of the first set. Now, three Formation Flags were inserted at each cardinal point.

Chen Li activated the two newly set up Thousand Thunder Arrays and immediately urged them to their maximum intensity!

Inside the Blood Demon Hood, seeing that the lightning energy had weakened considerably, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, when I get out, if I don't skin that brat alive, my hatred will never be appeased!"

The An Family Head was a bit worried: "That brat is extremely wicked. Why don't we use that Demonic Path talisman treasure!"

"That Demonic Path talisman treasure can only be used once, it was meant to guard against Golden Core Cultivators. It's not worth wasting it on this Thousand Thunder Array until the very last moment!"

Luo Sheng and the others had exchanged their previous Golden Core Magical Artifacts for this talisman treasure. They could have exchanged for two, but that Cultivator saw they were only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and only gave them one, even saying, 'take it or leave it!'

The Golden Core Magical Artifacts he painstakingly refined in his previous life could only be sold off cheaply after the Possession!

Just as they thought they could withdraw the Blood Demon Hood, two more waves of lightning energy rushed toward their Blood Demon Hood, forcing them to maintain the Blood Demon Hood again.
