How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 219: Chapter 0125 Cunning Strategy

Aside from advancing to the Postnatal Middle Stage, Chen Yu noticed some kind of unknown change in the insect.

A familiar aura now carried a hint of danger.

At this moment,

The Blood Dragon Beast, having swatted away the giant scorpion puppet, began to suck up the corpse and demon core of the Long-tongued Beast in front of it.

The body of the Long-tongued Beast rapidly withered away.

A stream of condensed dark crystal blood flowed up into the mouth of the Blood Dragon Beast.

“This Blood Dragon Beast feeds on blood and can extract the essence of blood and flesh from other creatures, transforming it into blood energy…” Chen Yu’s eyes flickered.

Before the Long-tongued Beast was completely drained of its vital blood essence, there was still a slim chance for Chen Yu to “outwit” the beast.

And the key to this “outwitting” still lay with the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

Immediately,

Chen Yu took out a small piece of the remaining Green Moss Shredded Mushroom.

“Go!”

The advanced Iron Moon Strange Insect, carrying the Green Moss Shredded Mushroom, burrowed into the ground.

Whoosh!

After its advancement, the insect’s speed had greatly increased. In the blink of an eye, it successfully burrowed from under the ground into the corpse of the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast.

Although Chen Yu’s move was subtle, it was still noticed by Ye Luofeng, He Qiuyun, and others.

However,

The Blood Dragon Beast, focused on feeding, did not notice.

The insect was too small; to the large Blood Dragon Beast, it was like an ant.

Once inside the Long-tongued Beast’s corpse, the Iron Moon Strange Insect quickly sensed a dark red blood vortex.

The essence of the Long-tongued Beast’s flesh and blood quickly merged into this dark blood vortex. After a simple refinement and concentration, it became a dark crystal blood flow and was drawn into the big mouth of the Blood Dragon Beast.

Swish!

The Iron Moon Strange Insect, carrying that small piece of Green Moss Shredded Mushroom, burrowed into the dark crystal blood flow above the dark blood vortex.

Relative to the blood flow as thick as an arm, the insect’s size was still imperceptible.

“It’s in!”

Chen Yu watched as the “black dot” disappeared quickly into the dark crystal blood flow, entering the Blood Dragon Beast’s body.

“Retreat!”

Having completed this action, Chen Yu signaled Ye Luofeng and the others to retreat quickly out of the mountain forest.

Chen Yu estimated that the Blood Dragon Beast would need some time before the poison took effect.

Moreover,

This ancient beast was not ordinary; it should have a stronger immunity against the intense poison of the Green Moss.

Ugh-huh!

A few groups of people had retreated less than a hundred zhang when a restless growl from the Blood Dragon Beast came from the mountain forest.

At this time,

The Blood Dragon Beast had finished absorbing the blood and qi essence of the Long-tongued Beast, but it felt a wave of discomfort, its demeanor becoming even more violent and cruel.

Shua!

The Blood Dragon Beast turned into a bloody scaled afterimage as it leapt from the forest, pouncing toward the retreating forces of the three clans.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

Screams echoed continuously.

Ordinary Postnatal Qi Transformation cultivators were basically killed in an instant by the Blood Dragon Beast.

Among them, Fu Jing, the Fu Family prodigy, was instantly killed by a swipe of the Blood Dragon Beast’s claw, falling into a pool of blood.

“Everyone! This beast has been poisoned by my deadly toxin; it is now displaying the precursor signs of poisoning.”

“We just need to delay for a moment, and the beast will become weak from the poison,” Chen Yu’s voice rang out across the scene.

The leaders of the three clans did not panic and flee.

The Black Robed Puppet Master controlled his puppets, blocking the Blood Dragon Beast’s onslaught.

He Qiuyun and Ye Luofeng unleashed fierce Sword Dao attacks, hindering the Blood Dragon Beast remotely.

Presently,

Only two Sword Dao prodigies were going all out using Sword Dao techniques, being able to inflict superficial wounds on the Blood Dragon Beast.

Swoosh-Swish!

Chen Yu threw a spear with all his might, striking the Blood Dragon Beast, but it failed to penetrate the defense. It was shattered by the flashing blood patterns and energy waves around its body, merely delaying its attack.

Looking on,

The combined efforts of the Black Robed Puppet Master, He Qiuyun, Chen Yu, and Ye Luofeng were still unable to stop the powerful offensive of the Blood Dragon Beast.

Wah! Wah!

As He Qiuyun and Ye Luofeng attacked the Blood Dragon Beast, they were rebounded by a wave of blood crystal brightness, sent flying with severe injuries.

“Explode!”

The Black Robed Puppet Master sent the nearly dismantled giant scorpion puppet, which was nearly falling apart, to the forefront.

Boom!

The Innate-period giant scorpion puppet exploded into a terrifying reddish-black wave, sending thousands of fragments enveloping the Blood Dragon Beast.

After this attack,

The body of the Blood Dragon Beast finally showed a large area of external injuries, bloodied and dripping.

However,

Chen Yu sharply noticed that the wounds on the Blood Dragon Beast’s body were slowly healing.

“Hmph! With just these people, they’re attempting to surround and attack the ‘Blood Dragon Beast’.”

Luo Haochen, half a li away, had a sneer on his face.

He was thankful that he had reacted quickly, retreating first and creating distance.

Peng ka!

In a flash, the Blood Dragon Beast closed in on the defensive stance of Chen Yu and the others.

“Block it quickly!”

Chen Yu exchanged a glance with the Black Robed Puppet Master.

Neither He Qiuyun nor Ye Luofeng, the two Sword Cultivators who had just been injured, were adept at close combat.

Uh-huh!

Chen Yu gathered his strength in his heart and launched the “Copper Lion Roar”.

This time, he infused his dark True Qi and Black Emperor bloodline, reaching a terrifying level of power, enough to injure ordinary Qi Transformation Innate cultivators.

Boom!

The terrifying sonic boom momentarily caused the Blood Dragon Beast to waver, its assault interrupted.

“Great chance!”

The Black Robed Puppet Master extended a metallic arm.

With a “click”, a Purple Iron Claw Hook flew out like lightning.

Pfft!

The Purple Iron Claw Hook caught the Blood Dragon Beast’s face, leaving a swath of wounds.

Howl!

The Blood Dragon Beast let out a frenzied roar, its vision blurred.

At the same time,

He Qiuyun and Ye Luofeng surged with two different Sword Intents, delivering their peak Sword Dao strikes.

In an instant,

A resplendent, dazzling column of sword light and an ice-cold sword halo, interweaving, slashed onto the Blood Dragon Beast’s body.

Pfft! Boom!

The Blood Dragon Beast suffered consecutive heavy blows and barely had time to recover.

First, it was momentarily stunned by Chen Yu’s “Copper Lion Roar,” its body rigid.

Then, its face was squarely hit by the claw hook of the Puppet Master.

Before it could even get angry, it was struck by a combined pinnacle attack from two Sword Dao geniuses.

The Blood Dragon Beast, not lacking in intelligence, was almost driven mad by rage, revealing a cruel and bloodthirsty cold light in its eyes.

Huff! Boom!

It went berserk in an instant, its body wrapped in a twisting blood-shadow cyclone with a diameter of several meters, exuding an aura of disaster, ready to sweep away and devour these ants.

“Damn!”

The four people present, including Chen Yu, all felt the approaching threat of death.

The enraged Blood Dragon Beast was brewing an area attack that could annihilate anyone within several meters in the Innate stage.

Once launched,

Chen Yu, with his extremely strong physical defenses, might be the only one to survive, while the other Qi Transformation Realm prodigies would be unlikely to escape unscathed.

“Could it be…”

Ye Luofeng’s pretty face turned pale, one hand gripping a half piece of the Heavenly Que Fragmented Sword, wrapped in cloth.

Thump! Thump Thump! Thump Thump Thump!

Chen Yu’s heartbeat accelerated, entering an explosive state as a burst of vigorous and rejuvenating power flowed from deep within his body.

But just at that moment.

Awooo!

The Blood Dragon Beast let out a muffled groan, its body swayed, and a hint of red-blue poison oozed from its scales.

In a flash,

The massive blood-shadow cyclone it was brewing scattered, dissipating the terrifying force.

“The poison is taking effect!”

Chen Yu’s heart leapt with joy.

The onset of the dramatic poison was actually sooner than he anticipated.

He had expected it to take at least a dozen or so breaths before the Green Moss Shredded Mushroom’s potent poison could take effect.

After all, it was a small amount.

And wasn’t the Blood Dragon Beast a top ancient creature with a diluted True Dragon Holy Beast bloodline and a strong resistance to poison?

However,

The strength of the Blood Dragon Beast was more terrifying than expected; their combined efforts couldn’t hold it off for even ten breaths.

Fortunately, the severe poison acted sooner.

The reason became clear to Chen Yu when he connected mentally with the parasite within the Blood Dragon Beast.

Through images transmitted by the insect,

The advanced Iron Moon Strange Insect tore through the beast’s flesh. Each time it bit through, red-blue toxic poison would seep into the wounds.

“The insect after evolution, seems to have incorporated the characteristics of Green Moss Poison Mushroom into its own corpse poison.”

Chen Yu was overjoyed.

Originally,

Not only had the Iron Moon Strange Insect evolved, its corpse poison also improved in potency, merging with the lethal power of the Green Moss Poison Mushroom.

The blend of corpse poison and violent toxin increased its lethality to easily kill an average Innate stage demon beast.

That was the reason for the Blood Dragon Beast’s premature toxic outbreak.

“Die!”

Chen Yu roared as he closed in on the poisoned Blood Dragon Beast at extreme speed, in his heart’s explosive state.

Such incredible speed!

The Puppet Master and He Qiuyun, among others, were shaken.

In the blink of an afterimage, Chen Yu approached the Blood Dragon Beast.

Holding the thought of exploiting its weakened state, Chen Yu drew the Dark Snake Sword.

This sword had been pre-coated with Green Moss poison, originally intended for the Black-scaled Long-tongued Beast.

Slash!

Chen Yu’s Dark Snake Sword, under the moonlight, emitted a cold lunar glow, its might surging by more than forty percent.

You should know,

His sword strike, under the heart’s explosive power, doubled in strength and speed, also incorporating the bloodline of the Black Emperor and dark True Qi.

Even without the moonlight’s enhancement, this sword strike could kill off an ordinary Innate demon beast.

Not to mention, the sword was smeared with Green Moss poison.

Hiss!

The Dark Snake Sword sliced into the Blood Dragon Beast’s neck, a spot where the scales were thinnest.

Blood splattered.

When the poison sword cut in about an inch, it could go no further.

Chen Yu was taken aback, having underestimated the Blood Dragon Beast’s amazing power and tough physique.

With a swoosh,

He didn’t even think before retracting his sword and swiftly retreating.

After all, by striking a vital point with the Dark Snake Sword, the Green Moss poison would wreak even more havoc.

However,

Despite Chen Yu’s quick reaction, he was still grazed by a flash of blood-shadow energy from the Blood Dragon Beast.

With a “pomf,”

Chen Yu was knocked back five to six meters, the protective membrane of his beast hide armor shattering.

Wow!

Chen Yu spat out a mouthful of blood after landing but showed a hint of relief.

At the critical moment,

Using the extreme speed from his heart’s explosion, he avoided taking a direct hit from the Blood Dragon Beast’s attack, suffering only forty to fifty percent of the damage.

And Chen Yu had also promptly activated the defenses of his beast hide armor.

Otherwise, even longtime Innates like the Water Moon Sect Master could have been killed.

A general injury like this was nothing for Chen Yu’s powerful self-healing physique.

Oooh!

After being struck in the throat by the Dark Snake Sword, the Blood Dragon Beast had poisonous outbursts both inside and outside its body, its life force beginning to wane.

Whoosh!

With a roar, the Blood Dragon Beast struggled to contain the poison and whipped up a blood-shadow whirlwind, sweeping across a radius of seven to eight meters.

Bang Bang Bang!

The nearby Black Robed Puppet Master, He Qiuyun, and Ye Luofeng were all knocked back, severely wounded and vomiting blood.

This was despite the Blood Dragon Beast using over seventy percent of its strength to suppress the potent poison.

Swoosh!

After hurling everyone away, the Blood Dragon Beast’s body trembled fiercely, not daring to linger, it turned into a blur of red shadow, running off in a certain direction.

Only,

Its current speed of escape was not even half of its original incoming pace.

“Chase!”

Chen Yu’s face lit up with excitement, maintaining a safe distance as he pursued the Blood Dragon Beast.

The Iron Moon Strange Insect was still wreaking havoc inside the Blood Dragon Beast, the deadly corpse poison continually intensifying.

The Blood Dragon Beast would become increasingly weak and was doomed!

“As long as we kill this beast and obtain its demon core, it will be comparable to a Guiyuan Realm demon beast and at least worth ten demon cores of the Vine Wood Demon.”

Chen Yu’s gaze was sharp.
