Chapter 752 - Blood Refining Canyon
“He’s here!”
The crowd’s eyes sharpened as Chen Fan entered as if they’d found their backbone.
“Let’s get to it—where is the Blood Demon Cave’s lair?” Chen Fan asked directly, not mincing words.
Emperor Li stepped forward and said, “Based on our scouting, we’re almost certain their lair is in Blood Refining Canyon.”
Blood Refining Canyon lay deep in the Hong Domain’s barren mountains, a treacherous, nearly lifeless region often regarded as a forbidden zone.
“Good enough. Let’s head over there immediately. Delays could give them time to shift or fortify,” Chen Fan said.
Wanderer White Brow and the others did not object; acting quickly worked in their favor.
In the past, blood demons had roamed the Hong Domain in small numbers, creating minor disruptions.
However, the recent resurgence of Blood Demon Cave experts, who had been in a deep slumber from past battles, allowed the blood demon army to terrorize the region.
With the blood demons not yet fully recovered, moving swiftly could provide a significant advantage.
“Prepare to move out,” Wanderer White Brow commanded. “This time, we will eradicate the Blood Demon Cave entirely—no future threats will remain!”
As the strongest fighter here besides Chen Fan, his words carried considerable weight. His efforts had long been pivotal in resisting the blood demon army’s previous raids.
On the Blood Demon Cave’s side, one of the three guardians from the past, the Man Guardian, had already awakened. Without Wanderer White Brow, the Great Li Imperial Court and the Hong Domain would have long since fallen.
Orders quickly spread through the ranks.
In this battle to eradicate the Blood Demon Cave, the core force was their group of Heavenly Star realm experts. However, the Divine Nascent realm and Core Formation realm experts were also indispensable.
Within two hours, the troops assembled and set off toward Blood Refining Canyon in an imposing formation.
“Heavens, what a terrifying lineup. Are they preparing for a final battle against the Blood Demon Cave?”
“I heard they found the Blood Demon Cave’s base camp. It seems they’re ready to storm it.”
“Let’s hope they succeed; otherwise, where would that leave us?”
“The human race will win!” someone cried, igniting similar cheers.
A majestic army stood outside the Blood Refining Canyon.
As the army’s combined auras surged, the sky trembled, dispersing the poisonous miasma clinging to the Blood Refining Canyon.
“The Blood Refining Canyon is just ahead!” Emperor Li said, looking at the large canyon ahead.
A fierce look flickered in Chen Fan’s eyes, leading the charge like a bolt of lightning.
“Let’s go, directly kill our way in!”
Boom, boom, boom!
A thunderous roar echoed through the canyon as blood-colored beams of light burst from within, tearing through space like a flood of blood sweeping toward them.
“Haaa!” Wanderer White Brow and the others shouted, channeling their cultivation and unleashing several terrifying attacks, shattering this sea of blood sweeping toward them.
“Hahahaha, Wanderer White Brow, I commend you for finding our lair. Not bad at all. But it’s a shame you’ve marched to your graves!”
Suddenly, sinister laughter filled the air. Several blood demons emerged from the canyon, cloaked in blood qi that billowed around them.
“Xue Kun, today is the day your Blood Demon Cave meets its end!” Wanderer White Brow said coldly.
Xue Kun smiled disdainfully and said, “Wanderer White Brow, you could resist Sir Man Guardian before because he still hadn’t recovered. But now, he has absorbed enough qi and blood. His cultivation has fully recovered. Do you still think you people have a chance?
“We’d planned to raze the Great Li Imperial Court in just a few days, but since you were so eager to meet your end, we’re happy to oblige. The Blood Refining Canyon is a decent burial place. It’s your blessing to be able to be buried here.”
Chen Fan couldn’t be bothered engaging in a war of words. He stepped forward, standing at the front of the crowd.
“You talk too much nonsense. Where’s that Man Guardian you keep talking about? Tell him to come out and accept his death!”
Xue Kun’s gaze became stern when he saw Chen Fan. He said coldly, “Brat, how dare a mere fifth-level Heavenly Star realm cultivator like you spout nonsense in front of me. You really don’t know your limits!”
Before his taunts could fully settle in the air, Xue Kun's figure blurred, transforming into a blood-red afterimage that vanished in an instant.
Xue Kun appeared in front of Chen Fan, thrusting his palm toward Chen Fan’s head with a hideous smile.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
Yet, just as quickly as he struck, Xue Kun was sent flying back, his body crashing into the ground with brutal force, trailing a mist of blood. The layer of protective true primeval around him exploded wildly, tattered and riddled with holes everywhere.
