My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"Boom—!"

The shaking of the underground cavern grew more and more violent, and the hard, sharp stalactites on the dome fell like a deadly rain of rocks.

Li Chen stared intently at the bottomless crack beneath the altar.

In that deep, dark darkness, a pair of enormous, blood-red eyes, as red as a blood moon, were fully open.

With the appearance of these eyes.

A nauseating, pungent smell of blood, mixed with the stench of decay, gushed forth from the ground as if it were a tangible substance.

"Hahaha... May you all be buried with me!"

The Zhou family head lay in the pile of rubble, spitting out mouthfuls of black blood while letting out a venomous laugh like that of a night owl.

"This is the Blood Fiend Demon General bestowed upon me by the Blood Fiend Sect! To feed it, I drained the blood of tens of thousands of mortals!"

"You bunch of ants, none of you will live today... uh!"

The Zhou family head's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

His eyes widened, his head tilted to the side, and he breathed his last.

Carrying his ambition to dominate Qingyang City, he went to report to the underworld.

"roar--!!!"

A superhuman roar exploded from the depths of the earth.

Followed by.

A gigantic demonic claw, covered in dark red scales and with razor-sharp claws, suddenly gripped the edge of the crack.

A loud "bang" was heard.

A terrifying monster, standing two zhang tall and covered in rotting flesh and black scales, crawled out of the ground.

The aura emanating from this "Blood Demon General" is actually approaching the early stage of the Golden Core realm!

Its scarlet eyes scanned the dim cave, finally locking onto Li Chen, who was the most vibrant of the group.

"Be careful! This is an evil artifact from the Blood Fiend Sect; it's impervious to blades and spears!"

Lu Fei and Lin Qing'er, who were hiding in the distance, were as pale as paper.

Their hands, gripping their weapons, trembled uncontrollably. This level of demon was simply beyond their capabilities at the Qi Refining stage.

"Invulnerable to swords and spears?"

Li Chen took a deep breath and stuffed the storage bag he had just retrieved into his pocket.

He licked his chapped lips, his eyes showing no fear but instead burning with a fierce fighting spirit.

"I'll see today whether its tortoise shell is harder or my fist is harder!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The Blood Demon General, like a heavy tank, charged madly towards Li Chen, bringing with it a stench of blood.

"Well done!"

Instead of retreating, Li Chen advanced, stomping his feet hard on the ground and charging forward like a cannonball.

Without the protection of true essence, and without the blessing of magic.

This is the most primitive and savage physical combat!

"Bang--!"

Li Chen's fist collided squarely with the Blood Demon General's sharp ghost claws.

A visible white shockwave rippled outwards from the center of their clash.

Li Chen felt a tremendous force surge up his arm, instantly splitting his hand and drawing blood. His body slid backward seven or eight steps uncontrollably, carving two deep furrows into the hard stone slab.

The Blood Demon General was also forced back three steps by Li Chen's terrifying strength, letting out an angry roar.

"This monster is incredibly strong!"

Li Chen shook his slightly numb right hand, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.

Although this demon general lacked intelligence, its body, soaked in blood and malevolent energy, was a hundred times harder than refined steel.

"roar!"

The demon general charged forward again.

It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a thick cloud of blood-red poisonous mist, while waving its claws to block all of Li Chen's escape routes.

"We're here to help you!"

At this critical moment, Lu Fei and Lin Qing'er suppressed their fear and charged into the battlefield from the left and right.

"The Gentle Breeze Sword Technique!"

"The Water-Cutting Blade Technique!"

Two sharp flashes of sword light slashed fiercely at the demon general's back.

however.

With a sickening metallic scraping sound, sparks flew everywhere. Their all-out attack only left two shallow white marks on the demon general's scales.

"roar!"

The demon general, in pain, suddenly turned around.

The tail, as thick as a steel whip, lashed fiercely at their chests with a whistling sound.

"puff!"

Lu Fei and Lin Qing'er were struck dumb, spitting out a mouthful of blood. They flew backward like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily into the stone wall and instantly losing their fighting ability.

"Damn it! How dare you touch my men!"

Li Chen was furious.

He knew he absolutely could not afford to engage in a war of attrition with this monster any longer.

I'm currently a fragile character with no mana bar. Once my stamina runs out, all three of us will perish here.

"It must be a fatal blow!"

Li Chen's gaze swept quickly across the surroundings, finally settling on the center of the altar.

There, several thick, dark red iron chains that had been used to lock up the miniature spiritual veins were still scattered.

Li Chen rolled on the spot, dodging the demon general's fatal pounce.

He seized the opportunity to grab the thick iron chain on the ground, which was as thick as an adult's arm, and wrapped it tightly around his arm twice.

"Hey big guy, come here and get your punch!"

Li Chen let out a wild roar and charged towards the demon general.

A savage glint flashed in the demon general's crimson eyes as he brandished his claws, attempting to tear this reckless human to shreds.

Just as the two were about to collide.

With incredible flexibility, Li Chen suddenly ducked down, narrowly avoiding the demon general's claws that were sharp enough to rip open a monster's belly.

Simultaneously.

The black iron chain in his hand was like a venomous snake, using the momentum of the demon general's forward charge to tightly wrap around its neck!

"Get down, you bastard!"

Li Chen's eyes were wide open, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He looped the chains around his shoulders, turned his back to the demon general, and planted his feet firmly on the ground like the roots of an old tree. His abdominal muscles erupted with a terrifying force like a landslide or a tsunami!

"Drink it—!!!"
