158: Blood Fiend Pill

Lu Chen suddenly grinned: "You can't have any thoughts about me, because—I'm only twelve years old!"

Su Hongxiu's expression instantly froze, and she abruptly let go of Lu Chen: "Damn it!" She gritted her teeth, her delicate face twisted and deformed, "You damn twelve-year-old, why didn't you say so earlier! You wasted my expressions! Die for me!!"

As a Disciple of Buddhism, Su Hongxiu knew the taboos better than anyone.

If she were to lay hands on a twelve-year-old child, she would not only be hunted down by Buddhism, but would also incur heavenly wrath, and the entire world would be destroyed because of it!

"Blood Fiend Fills the Sky!"

Su Hongxiu's Transcendent Sixth Layer cultivation fully erupted. She formed hand seals, and countless bloodlines shot out from the blood pool, condensing into tens of thousands of blood needles in mid-air.

"Clang, clang!"

Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies!

The long spear in Lu Chen's hand danced into a golden light curtain, blocking all the incoming blood needles.

Sparks flew, and Lu Chen's figure weaved through the rain of blood needles, moving so fast that he left afterimages.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Hongxiu's eyes, then she sneered: "Little brother is quite impressive..." She suddenly clasped her hands together, and the blood needles' offensive intensified sharply, "But it's a pity you met me!!"

The entire hall began to shake violently, and the blood in the blood pool boiled and churned, condensing into gigantic blood-red pythons that lunged at Lu Chen from all directions!

Lu Chen was curious, why did these female Bodhisattvas like giant pythons so much!!

Didn't they know that his Golden Dragon just happened to restrain these giant pythons!!

With the long spear in his hand, Lu Chen's Dragon Apertures fully opened throughout his body, and the True Qi within him surged like a river, all pouring into the long spear.

The spear tip spat out a three-foot spear glow, condensing into a lifelike golden Dragon phantom in mid-air. Its Dragon whiskers fluttered, its scales and claws were distinct, and it charged with an unstoppable force directly at the vital seven-inch weakness of the blood-red giant pythons.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A series of deafening explosions rang out one after another.

The dozen or so blood-red giant pythons, formed by the power of blood sacrifice, shattered one after another under the precise strikes of the Golden Dragon phantom, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

A thick bloody smell instantly permeated the entire hall, and the shattered flesh and blood rained down onto the ground, emitting a "hissing" corrosive sound.

For the first time, panic appeared on Su Hongxiu's beautiful face.

She stumbled back several steps, her crimson lips trembling beneath her red gauze: "Who exactly are you? This is a blood python Immortal Spell that I released with the help of a hundred-person blood sacrifice. Even an Immortal in the Qi Refining Early Stage would find it difficult to resist. How could a young man like you..."

"Trying to stall for time? Dream on!" Lu Chen coldly interrupted, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

His figure was like lightning, and the dragon fiend spear in his hand drew a golden arc, heading straight for Su Hongxiu's heart.

Su Hongxiu was inwardly horrified. This young man was not only astonishingly strong, but his mind was also terrifyingly sharp.

She was indeed secretly operating a secret technique, using the residual blood sacrifice power in Guanyin Hall to restore her Origin Qi and cast more powerful Spells.

However, Lu Chen gave her no such opportunity. His fierce attacks followed her like a shadow, not even giving her time to breathe.

"Ah!"

A mournful scream echoed through the hall.

Lu Chen's dragon fiend spear precisely pierced through Su Hongxiu's chest, the spear tip emerging from her body, bringing out a plume of eerie blood flowers.

However, at this critical moment, Su Hongxiu's body suddenly twisted and deformed strangely, transforming into a three-foot-long blood-red small snake. It shot out from under the spear at an astonishing speed, speeding towards the outside of the hall.

"Trying to escape?" Lu Chen snorted coldly, throwing the dragon fiend spear with all his might without hesitation.

The long spear transformed into a golden lightning bolt, precisely pinning the tail of the blood-red small snake.

However, to Lu Chen's surprise, at the last moment, the small snake actually performed the technique of severing its tail to survive. Its body split into two, abandoning the pinned tail, and its head with half its body continued to flee, disappearing into the darkness outside the hall in a blink of an eye.

Lu Chen quickly chased to the hall door, but only saw a puddle of blood and half a still-wriggling snake tail remaining on the ground.

He frowned tightly, knowing that chasing now would be futile.

This was the first time Lu Chen had seen a snake demon, and he found it quite novel.

A Buddhist Holy Land calling itself Guanyin Hall, yet full of snake demons, how interesting!!

The White Gauze Maidens, witnessing their Hall Master Su Hongxiu's defeat and escape, immediately fell into chaos.

Their delicate makeup could not hide their terror, and they scrambled to escape through various exits.

Some knocked over incense burners, others tripped on the steps. Their usual elegant and graceful demeanor was gone, leaving only the disheveled state of panicked escape.

Lu Chen's gaze was like lightning, and the dragon fiend spear in his hand glowed with golden light again.

His figure moved like a ghost through the hall, each strike incredibly precise.

Wherever the spear tip passed, a White Gauze Maiden would fall to the ground.

What was surprising was that these fallen maidens did not bleed, but quickly shrunk and deformed in a puff of green smoke.

A continuous series of "plop, plop, plop" sounds followed, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen fluffy white mice lay scattered across the hall.

They scurried around in a panic on the smooth floor tiles, their pink paws scratching futilely, emitting "squeaking" cries.

A few tried to squeeze into the cracks in the corners of the wall, but Lu Chen lightly poked them with the spear shaft, sending them all rolling into a pile.

Lu Chen stood with his spear, looking at the little creatures scurrying all over the floor with interest.

He squatted down and gently poked one of them with the spear tip.

The white mouse immediately curled into a ball, its black bean-like eyes full of terror, completely different from the charming and alluring maidens they had been just moments ago.

"Interesting." Lu Chen's lips curled slightly, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

These demons could actually transform into humans. The hall was a mess, with incense burners overturned, no longer resembling a pure Buddhist sanctuary.

Lu Chen searched Guanyin Hall for a long time and found over a hundred blood fiend pills. He wondered how many innocent Mortals were sacrificed to refine these Medicinal Pills.

Too cruel! Too shameless!

Too fragrant!

Lu Chen really couldn't resist and swallowed ten pills. The Medicinal Pills melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a scorching torrent that surged into his limbs and bones.

In an instant, all of Lu Chen's Dragon Apertures opened, and the Dragon Pattern on his spine glowed brightly with golden light. Every vertebra emitted a "crack, crack" sound.

Roar—

With a Dragon's roar from within his body, dazzling golden light erupted around Lu Chen.

The Dragon blood in his body rapidly evolved under the stimulation of the Medicinal Power. Fine beads of blood seeped from his skin, only to be instantly vaporized into a blood mist.

When the light dissipated, he was shocked to find that he had actually broken through the Bottleneck in one go, directly leaping from Transcendent Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer Realm!

Holy crap!!

He hadn't made any Breakthroughs after Cultivating for several months, yet he actually broke through just by swallowing this blood fiend pill.

No wonder this Immortal Cultivation Sect called Cihang Sect was so brazen as to sacrifice Mortals everywhere. It turns out this stuff is really useful!!

"Another ten! Let's see if I can break through to the Seventh Layer!"

However, the moment the Medicinal Pills entered his stomach, Lu Chen realized he was finished.

The violent energy raged through his body like a bursting flood. His skin began to crack, and blood seeped from his pores.

His internal organs felt as if they were being roasted over a fire, and the True Qi surging through his Meridians almost burst his body.

Lu Chen endured the severe pain and immediately activated the Iron Shirt Technique.

His entire body's muscles instantly tensed like iron, and his skin glowed with a metallic luster.

He grabbed the dragon fiend spear and, without hesitation, struck himself with it.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The heavy spear shaft struck various vital points on his body repeatedly, emitting sounds like metal clashing.

Each strike allowed the violent energy within his body to find an outlet. Blood mist continuously sprayed from Lu Chen's mouth and nose. That was the excess Medicinal Power that couldn't be absorbed being forcibly expelled from his body.

Ugh ah—

Lu Chen knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Only then did he understand that even the most miraculous Medicinal Pills needed to be taken gradually.

Overdosing in a short period would not only fail to bring a Breakthrough but would also take his life.

"blood fiend pills are good, but don't be greedy!" Lu Chen muttered with lingering fear... Su Hongxiu looked at the occupied Guanyin Hall with resentment, secretly vowing: "Little brat, when you turn eighteen, you'll know how powerful I am. By then, I will definitely make you kneel beneath my red skirt!"

Su Hongxiu knew she couldn't return to Cihang Sect; it would be a dead end. She could only seek refuge with her elder sister, who was in Hehuan Sect!!

Su Hongxiu rushed to Hehuan Sect overnight and even changed her name—Su Mei!!
