Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. He knew that the growth of a peerless genius depended on one's own talent, one's clan's heritage, but the most important factor was one's luck. He had to admit that his luck had been especially good ever since he obtained the Mysterious Dragon Jade. Every time he faced a life or death situation, he would always have the chance to reverse the situation.
For example, this time, the Misty Valley seemed to be specially designed for his Soul-Devouring Demon Eye. With the Soul-Devouring Demon Eye, he wouldn't be affected in the Misty Valley, but others would be affected by the dense fog.
And now, in the cave under the waterfall, there was an injured Seventh Grade Earth realm beast. No matter how strong this beast was, Long Chen knew that this was his only chance.
After telling Lingxi about the cave under the waterfall, Long Chen immediately made a decision: "Xiao Lang, I'll go into the cave first to attract the beast or drive it out. Then, you take Lingxi inside and hide. It's best if you don't come out if there's nothing important."
"No, Chen, won't you be in danger this way?" Lingxi said in a panic.
"No, this is an injured Seventh Grade Earth Realm Monster Beast. If I'm lucky, I can kill it and make myself stronger. Even if I'm no match for it, I can still use the Blood Escape Technique to escape. Little Xi, listen to me."
"I'm sorry, Chen, I'm just a burden …" Lingxi's eyes flickered with tears. Her body trembled in pain: "I've decided that I'm a big problem now, so I'll give up this body. This way, Chen and Xiao Lang can escape."
"Bullshit."
Long Chen scolded. He looked at Lingxi with a serious expression and warned: "Little Xi, don't let me hear such words again. Otherwise, I won't forgive you."
"Why?"
Lingxi was a little confused: "If I can find the Nine Heavenly Immortal Fruit, won't I still be able to live?"
"That's only if. I can't guarantee anything."
Long Chen sighed, "Xiao Xi, who knows what the future holds? The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit is still an unknown. I can't bet your future on an unknown. So before we find the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit, don't do anything stupid. It's possible that I won't be able to obtain it in my lifetime."
Long Chen's words made Lingxi, who had been blaming herself, calm down.
"Little Xi, someone once told me that this world is too big, and that I'm just a little genius from a small place. Even if I put my life on the line, in the eyes of the people from that world, I would only be mediocre. He suggested that I help you recover your body and then find a place to live a peaceful life for the rest of your life …"
These were Li Xuanji's words. Long Chen remembered them in his heart, but he never gave in because of them.
"So, if you don't take care of your body and I'm mediocre, you'll miss the chance to live with me for the rest of your life. So, listen to me, understand?"
Ling Xi looked at the serious man in front of her, and she was so moved that two streams of hot tears flowed down her cheeks. Towards this youth, she seemed to have developed a feeling that surpassed familial love. That kind of budding, exciting, and intense feeling gave her an experience she had never experienced in her entire life. She even felt that even if she was asked to follow Long Chen and die immediately, she wouldn't have the slightest bit of complaint.
"Chen …"
"Mm." Seeing that Lingxi had something to say, Long Chen hurriedly listened attentively.
"I've decided."
"What have you decided?" Long Chen asked curiously.
Lingxi was a little embarrassed. Her originally pale face gradually turned red. She held her breath and finally said, "In this life, I, Lingxi … will marry no one but you."
"Ah."
Long Chen didn't expect this girl to say such bold words. He was stunned for a moment. Finally, he looked at the girl in front of him who had bravely spoken her heart and felt very touched.
"Lingxi, I will live up to the words you've said to me today. I hope that you will always remember it. I won't say anything else. You already know my feelings for you. I'll chase that demonic beast out right now. Just do as I say and nothing will happen."
"Mm." Lingxi nodded heavily.
Without another word, Long Chen directly carried the Blue Dragon Halberd and rushed towards the waterfall. When he was near, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he directly rushed into the waterfall. Water splashed everywhere. Just as he rushed into the cave, an angry roar of a beast rushed towards Long Chen's face. It almost sent Long Chen flying.
Blood.
As soon as he rushed in, Long Chen smelled the scent of blood in the air. He focused his eyes and saw a beast lying in the cave, staring at Long Chen with hatred. It was a huge beast covered in thick black scales. Its overall shape was similar to a pangolin, but it was much more terrifying than a pangolin. There was a row of sharp black spikes on its back, and its four thick legs were also covered in thick scales. It was as if it was wearing a thick layer of armor. The only big difference between it and a pangolin was that this beast's head was actually like a dragon's. On its forehead, there was a sharp and long horn that emitted a cold light. The sharpness of the horn probably surpassed Long Chen's Blue Dragon Halberd.
"Seventh Grade Earth Rank, Demonic Tyrannosaurus."
Long Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect to actually encounter such a beast in the Dense Fog Valley. The Demonic Tyrannosaurus' name had the word "dragon" in it. It was believed that it had the bloodline of the Primordial Divine Dragon. Of course, this was only a legend. If it really had the bloodline of the Divine Dragon, this Demonic Tyrannosaurus would not be at its current level.
When he saw the current state of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus, Long Chen almost laughed out loud.
This was because the body of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus was actually covered in densely packed wounds. Some of the wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen. It could be seen that the Demonic Tyrannosaurus was trying to prevent blood from flowing out. However, its body was still drenched in blood. The most serious injury was one of its forelimbs. It had actually been completely cut off and disappeared. At this moment, a large amount of blood was brewing at the place where the limb was cut off. Under the control of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus, the blood did not surge out.
However, what if the Devouring Bloody World was added to the mix?
Long Chen knew that this Demonic Tyrannosaurus had clearly been injured by someone. Hence, when it saw Long Chen, its eyes were naturally filled with rage. Long Chen had already made up his mind. As soon as he entered the cave, he didn't say anything. He swung the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd in his hand at the opponent. Just like when he had killed the Thunderbird, the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd pierced the other forelimb of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus. Although the wound wasn't deep, the piercing pain successfully enraged the Demonic Tyrannosaurus.
Long Chen retrieved the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd and immediately rushed outside. As expected, the Demonic Tyrannosaurus, who was recuperating, couldn't help but chase after Long Chen crazily. Since there was the word "Tyrannosaurus" in its name, it naturally meant that this fellow's temperament was definitely very violent.
Long Chen's use of this method to lure it away was very correct.
After rushing out of the waterfall, Long Chen quickly shot a look at Xiao Lang, who was hiding at the side, before quickly fleeing far away. In the next moment, the huge body of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus rushed out of the waterfall, causing water to splash everywhere. Lingxi was so frightened that she hid behind the rock in front of her. She was worried about Long Chen's safety, so she stuck her head out.
When she saw that the demonic beast that was chasing Long Chen was covered in blood and was even missing a lower limb, Lingxi heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that no matter how strong this demonic beast was, it wouldn't be a threat to Long Chen.
"Chen, you must be well."
Lingxi had a resolute look in her eyes. Then, she entered the waterfall under the escort of Xiao Lang.
…
"I've caused such a huge commotion here. I'm sure it'll attract those commanders over here."
Long Chen secretly calculated the distance between him and the waterfall. After ensuring that Lingxi's side was absolutely safe, Long Chen stopped in his tracks and prepared to deal with the Demonic Tyrannosaurus.
"Fortunately, I didn't waste the beast blood …" Along the way, blood kept flowing out of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus's body. Of course, Long Chen wouldn't let it go. Hence, he kept using the Devouring World of Blood to a very weak degree. All the beast blood that flowed out of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus's body was absorbed by him.
"This Demonic Tyrannosaurus will leave a trail of blood on the ground along the way. If they discover this trail of blood, they will easily find the end of the trail, the waterfall. When that happens, Lingxi will definitely be exposed."
This was the reason why Long Chen was still collecting beast blood even though he was in front.
At this moment, Long Chen turned around. He was still in his beast soul form. At this moment, he held the Blue Dragon Halberd in his hand and looked at the huge Demonic Tyrannosaurus in front of him. He didn't even frown.
"You're bleeding so badly, yet you still want to be my enemy? What a big idiot. I'll let you experience … the Devouring World of Blood."
In an instant, the Demonic Tyrannosaurus was completely surrounded by a mass of red mist. In a large area around it, there was a lot of blood-red mist floating about. It transformed into a faint dragon shadow. This was a true divine dragon. Hence, what Long Chen didn't expect was that the aura of the Devouring World of Blood had terrified the Demonic Tyrannosaurus.
A majestic Earth-ranked demonic beast was actually trembling and wailing in the Devouring World of Blood. Right now, its entire body was covered in blood. Long Chen had increased the strength of the Devouring World of Blood to the maximum. The demonic power of the Demonic Tyrannosaurus was simply unable to maintain such a huge devouring ability. When one of the wounds was broken by Long Chen, the other wounds were broken one after another.
In order to reduce the terror of this fellow, Long Chen used the Blue Dragon Halberd to cut its throat when it lost all ability to resist, ending its life.
