49: Demon-killing blood beads

White mist enveloped the mountain forest. Within the mist, a tall, dark shadow could vaguely be seen flashing and moving rapidly.

Watching the dark shadow flash through the depths of the white mist, the Dragon Pattern Spear in Han Li's hand instantly let out a Dragon's roar.

“Buzz—!”

With a movement of the spear, True Qi poured into it, and sharp spear shadows instantly burst forth.

Sweeping Through A Thousand Armies!

Countless spear shadows surged out, tearing through the white mist, and the appearance of the dark shadow suddenly became clear.

It was a monster about ten feet tall, covered in black fur, with a wolf-like head, crimson eyes, a green face, and tusks, walking upright.

The spear shadow's attack did not cause much damage, only making it retreat a few steps.

Its crimson eyes looked at Han Li, like a demon from Hell, then it turned and quickly rushed into the depths of the mountain forest.

“Trying to run!”

Han Li's eyes flashed, and he took a step, like lightning. Green Qi surrounded his body, giving him a feeling of leaping through the air.

A distance of several feet was covered in the blink of an eye.

However, this monster was also very fast, and it quickly rushed into the depths of the mountain forest.

“Swish—!”

With his movement technique fully activated and True Qi flowing within his body, Han Li pushed Divine Travel Eight Desolations to its Peak, and his speed suddenly increased by a notch.

He was getting closer and closer to the monster's figure.

However, just as Han Li was about to approach, the monster suddenly turned around.

“Roar—!”

A roar echoed through the mountains, and a black stream of Qi shot out like an arrow.

Han Li was startled. He quickly dodged the attack with his exquisite movement technique. The black Qi hit a large tree behind him, quickly piercing a hole through it, a single strike penetrating it completely.

“Whoosh—”

At the same time, the monster waved its hand, and its claws extended, like blades, cutting through the air, bringing with them a sharp force.

“Buzz—!”

Han Li gripped the Dragon Pattern Spear, and a 'One Strike Severing Intestines' instantly burst forth.

“Clang—!”

The Dragon Pattern Spear collided with the monster's claws, sparking fire and producing a pleasant metallic sound.

The monster cried out in pain and quickly retracted its hand.

But in that instant, Han Li's third spear strike was directly unleashed.

A sound like a Dragon's roar rang out, the spear shot out like a Dragon, and a spear strike was quickly delivered.

Pfft—!

This spear strike solidly pierced the monster's body, and blood instantly overflowed.

“Roar!!!”

With the spear tip entering its body, the monster let out a painful roar, its body struggled violently, and it quickly retreated, breaking several large trees.

A bloody wound appeared on its abdomen, and blood stained the monster's fur red.

One strike dealt damage.

“Sweeping Through A Thousand Armies!”

Han Li would not give it any chance to breathe; the Life-奪ing Spear Technique erupted again.

A hundred spear shadows swept over. Under the impetus of his True Qi, each spear shadow contained a certain destructive power and could also confuse the senses.

“Boom—!”

An explosion sounded, shaking the mountain forest, and the white mist within several feet around completely dissipated.

A spear strike like thunder.

The spear shadows destroyed the surrounding vegetation, and several stones were directly blasted open.

Dust flew everywhere, a scene of utter devastation!

“Roar—!”

Just then, a tiger's roar, like thunder, echoed through the mountains, and a powerful Aura permeated the air.

In mid-air, a substantial fierce tiger appeared, its Aura towering.

Han Li launched a punch, and the Divine Ability of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound immediately erupted. Thunderous roars exploded, powerful Qi waves swept out, and the fierce tiger in mid-air, accompanied by his punch, slammed into the monster in the dust.

“Boom!!!”

The ground shook, an explosion sounded, and a visible circle of Qi waves impacted all around.

Under the impact of the Qi waves, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were directly annihilated, turning into dust.

A huge deep pit appeared on the ground.

In the pit, the monster was on its last breath, surrounded by dust and smoke, its life force instantly dropping to freezing point.

Having endured the combined force of the Life-奪ing Spear Technique and a three-realm Divine Ability, the monster was on the verge of death.

Han Li held the Dragon Pattern Spear. Before he could deliver the final blow, a sudden change occurred.

“Whoosh—!”

A sharp red light shot out. Han Li instinctively reacted by countering with the Dragon Pattern Spear.

“Clang—!”

The spear tip collided with the red light, producing a metallic sound. Han Li felt a vast power sweeping over him, and his body involuntarily retreated two steps.

The red light fell to the ground, and a cracked bead appeared on the ground.

At this moment, the monster in the pit, holding onto its last breath, quickly rushed out of the pit.

Han Li had no time to look at the strange bead. Seeing the monster escape the deep pit at an extremely fast speed, he quickly threw the Dragon Pattern Spear in his hand.

“Whoosh—!”

The long spear cut through the air. Under Han Li's mighty throw, the power of this spear was enough to shatter a large stone.

“Pfft!”

The silver long spear instantly pierced through the monster's brain, front to back, directly penetrating it.

Under the powerful inertia, the monster's body flew forward, broke a large tree, and completely ceased to move.

“Buzz—!”

Just as the monster died, a crimson blood Qi rapidly entered his body.

“Devour!”

The moment the blood Qi entered his body, Han Li's thoughts suddenly erupted. In his mind, the purple Demonic Seed suddenly stirred, rapidly devouring the monster's blood Qi.

Han Li's expression was normal. He looked at the dead monster's corpse and let out a long sigh.

Killing Blood Qi.

Previously, each kill would cause blood Qi to directly enter his body and enhance his Physical Body. In the past, when he killed wild beasts, the blood Qi would strengthen and improve him without causing any anomalies. However, the Demonic Qi of demons was different.

After each kill, as the blood Qi increased, anomalies would occur. The stronger the demon, the stronger the blood Qi absorption anomaly.

After multiple attempts in Zhenmogou, Han Li had also developed a corresponding method.

As long as his thoughts were sent out the moment the blood Qi entered his body, the Demonic Seed could devour the blood Qi and temporarily store it. Afterward, he could release it with his thoughts and still absorb the blood Qi to strengthen his body.

This way, he would not produce any physical anomalies during the process of slaying demons.

This method was also something Han Li only figured out after killing several demons.

It greatly protected his secret.

Even if he encountered a master in the future, with the Killing Blood Qi stored in the Demonic Seed, he would not worry about his physical anomalies being discovered.

He would only strengthen his Physical Body and transform his body in a safe place, focusing on one word:

Steadiness!

“Swish—!”

His figure like the wind, Han Li quickly arrived before the dead monster.

Pulling out the Dragon Pattern Spear, Han Li looked at the monster's corpse before him.

This was one of his target missions.

The first mission was complete.

Two thousand five hundred merit points obtained!

Equivalent to two thousand five hundred taels of silver, Han Li's mood instantly brightened considerably.

Merit points could also be traded privately. If one were to exchange merit points for silver, it would be very easy.

Merit points for hunting missions were generally very high.

Compared to gathering missions, it was completely a world apart.

Cutting off the monster's head, Han Li placed both the head and the body into his hundred treasure sack.

The head was for mission delivery, and the body could still be sold for money. The bodies of demons were all excellent Materials.

Even a small mosquito is meat, and besides, he was currently dirt poor and needed to accumulate wealth.

Traveling the world still required real gold and silver.

With everything settled, Han Li turned back and came before the blood-colored bead.

The blood-colored bead emanated a faint bloody scent and was already covered in cracks.

“What is this thing?”

Han Li looked at the blood-colored bead covered in cracks, very curious.

This could not be a demon's Demonic Core.

Monster-level demons could not condense Demonic Cores; only Nether-level demons could condense Demonic Cores. This was common knowledge.

The blood-colored bead emanated a bloody scent and was tainted with the monster's Demonic Qi, but it was not a Demonic Core.

Han Li had also seen Demonic Cores for sale in the market; this was definitely not a Demonic Core.

However, this thing shot out from the monster's body, and Han Li really couldn't figure out what it was.

“Is it a treasure?”

Han Li frowned, looking at the blood-colored bead.

“Buzz—!”

At this moment, the blood-colored bead on the ground suddenly vibrated, and a crimson light bloomed.

Han Li instantly detected a dangerous Aura.

“Boom—!”
