Chapter 68: Blood Demon's Body

Zhou Tian moved like the wind, slashing with his blade, sweeping a violent gust of wind. The middle-aged man chopped a huge rock with a single swing of his blade, then rolled away to evade the blade light.

The remaining five of Express Delivery Company's group watched Zhou Tian engaging in close combat. They exchanged glances and immediately took action. Three of them rushed in for another joint attack, while one went to tend to the injured, and the last one manipulated floating rocks, seemingly using telekinesis.

"The target is on the left side of left side of the West 4th Group. The 5th Group of the West 4th Group and members of Tianxiahui have engaged with the target. Other personnel, please provide support as soon as possible."

After this person spoke into the radio, responses came in.

"Received!"

"Received!"

"..."

Lei Hong held the thousand Demon Daggers, radiating a faint light, and swung it down, creating a sharp and ear-piercing sound. The golden armor covering the opponent's body left a deep mark from the blade, but, visibly, the mark began healing at a rapid rate.

This astonishing scene surprised Lei Hong, but he maintained a calm expression. The blade in his hand continued to produce dazzling flashes, and the fierce battle continued.

"He can actually withstand the Demon Blade. What kind of armor is this?" Lei Hong wondered. It was the first time he encountered such a situation since obtaining the thousand Demon Daggers. Whether it was energy crystal protection or physical refinement cultivation, internal energy.etc, it usually crumbled under the blade.

Zhou Tian stepped back two paces as Express Delivery Company's people closed in.

During this brief period, two more squads arrived, providing reinforcements with six more people.

"Great Wind Rises!"

A resounding shout, brimming with righteousness, echoed through the air.

Lei Hong's pupils contracted and then widened as if realizing something dangerous.

"Get back!"

One of Express Delivery Company's members roared and quickly retreated.

The spiritual threat of Great Wind Rises was focused on Lei Hong, so the others were less affected. However, they also recognized the danger and promptly withdrew.

A white blade light descended, directly covering Lei Hong.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound reverberated, tearing open a rift in the earth.

Hasty footsteps approached, and Express Delivery Company's people surrounded the area from all sides.

Xu Si had also arrived, standing on a tree and observing the center of the smoke.

"He's not dead; be careful!" Xu Si's cold voice echoed from above.

" you've all failed!!"

A teeth-grinding, low growl emanated from the smoke.

Red light dispersed the smoke, revealing Lei Hong's figure.

At this moment, his hair seemed sticky and fluttered in the wind, resembling a mass of blood. His pupils were pitch black, sharp fangs were exposed, giving off a bloodstained aura. His five fingers turned sharp, and his skin had a blackish hue, resembling a wild beast.

" If am unable to safely unlock, so I'll use you as a sacrifice to forcefully break the seal."

A low growl, fueled by the cultivation of blood energy, formed a vague shadow.

Threads of bloody energy floated in from a distance.

Initially shocked by this monstrous appearance, Express Delivery Company and his group changed their expressions when they noticed the threads of bloody energy coming from the injured person nearby.

Upon closer inspection, the evidence was clear; this guy was the culprit behind the tragedy.

Zhou Tian keenly felt the subtle changes in Express Delivery Company's group.

One person waved his hand, wrapping the injured person in telekinetic force, and instantly flew them out of the area.

"Confirmed the target as the murderer. Priority is to kill, capturing is secondary."

Xu Si's cold voice resounded from above, instantly changing the tense atmosphere on the scene.

A thunderous sound echoed!

A large tree was uprooted, crashing towards Lei Hong.

Intense Battle Begins

Standing at the top, Xu Si, holding stones for long-range support, occasionally glanced at Zuo Luo.

"The enhancement is unexpectedly high," Xu Si remarked while observing his three powerful subordinates, whose overall strength had experienced a significant leap.

These three individuals were originally in their forties or fifties, with already considerable strength and some reputation in the North China region. However, their current power might rival that of some sect leaders.

Even the stones that he wielded, originally possessing the lethality of a sniper rifle, now could be considered a sniper cannon.

"Should I bring this guy over..." Zhou Tian stood in place with his blade, watching the powerful Express Delivery Company's group.

"Zuo Luo's ability seems to be a knight cultivation method, specializing in auras, leading a small team. His strength should be extremely formidable, but now he's alone."

Glancing at the personal panel, the combat power index had directly risen to the fourth-order novice.

All aspects of strength and physique had been enhanced by at least three layers. Although it might not seem like much, Zhou Tian's original strength and physique were already extremely powerful.

The intensity of internal energy had also increased significantly, along with additional abilities like enhanced perception and defense.

Taking everything into account, combined with Zhou Tian's own accumulated strength, he temporarily possessed the combat power of a fourth-order novice.

Zhou Tian's golden ring emitted a faint light, and the final piece of energy metal appeared.

The gears constantly rotated, stirring the air to form a radiant mist.

"Go!"

With a clear shout, the drill flew out.

Lei Hong felt his scalp tingle, turning around to slash with his blade.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound echoed as the drill was deflected, and the thousand Demon Daggers shattered, only to instantly recover.

"A legendary weapon, I'd like to study it." A gleam of light flashed in Zhou Tian's eyes as he took the opportunity to check the information.

Hostile Contractor

Combat Power: Fourth-order Novice

Life Form: Blood Demon's Body/Vampire (Temporary State)

Blood Demon's Body: Legendary life form

Abilities: Vampire Resurrection, Blood Demon Qi, Blood Pool Sequence, Legendary Physique!

Zhou Tian's expression changed slightly, not because of the formidable abilities of the legendary life form but due to the continuously fluctuating combat power—now a fourth-order novice, later a fourth-order advanced.

It kept changing like this, explaining why, despite four temporarily enhanced fourth-order novices attacking, they couldn't bring Lei Hong down.

"Ah!"

A roar, and a burst of blood aura.

The group was sent flying.

During the brief respite, Lei Hong, with bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils, was already losing control.

Infected by the demonic nature, his final thoughts locked onto Zuo Luo.

"Must... kill him!"

The remaining consciousness had already determined one thing: unless this auxiliary figure was killed, not to mention a counterattack, even escaping might be impossible.

"Be careful!"

Lei Hong transformed into a blood wind, rushing towards Zuo Luo and Feng Shayan like an evil spirit.

Both of them changed their expressions. The fierce aura overwhelmed them, causing their legs to go weak.

Feng Shayan, born with a superior position, had acquired advanced techniques and was generally unimpeded in battles. However, when facing such an extraordinary and monstrous figure, the disparity in mental strength became evident.

The two of them actually stiffened in place, showing a fearful expression.

At this critical moment, a figure clad in golden armor stood in front of them.

Zhou Tian's right hand protected the front, and the originally transforming long blade became a massive shield.

The blood-red light struck the shield, tearing open multiple cracks instantly.
