Chapter 64

The Demon Forest of the Vast Heaven Sect, a dense forest within the sect, is sealed by an elder's barrier from the outside world. It is home to numerous demonic beasts, specifically for disciples to hunt and train.

At this moment, in the Demon Forest, the fat man was running wildly, with several figures rapidly chasing him from behind. Fortunately, the fat man was very fast; even when he was at the Mortal Dust Realm, he was faster than Chu Yan and Ye Xun, who were at the Moving Dust Realm. Now, having reached the Moving Dust Realm, his speed had reached an extreme, like a gust of wind in the dense forest, which allowed him to avoid being caught.

"Damn! How can this fat man run so fast!" Behind the fat man, a group of people were chasing him frantically.

"Come and chase Grandpa Fat if you dare! If you don't, you're my grandsons!" The fat man shouted while running, thinking to himself, "After so long, Qian Dong and Zhao Yu should have already run out of the Demon Forest."

The fat man took a deep breath and continued to run. Suddenly, his brows furrowed as he sensed an extremely powerful demonic aura ahead, even stronger than the previous demonic tiger.

"Roar!" A roar echoed, and an iron-armored rhinoceros charged out. The rhinoceros was covered in iron-like armor and was very powerful. Seeing the rhinoceros, the fat man's narrow eyes squinted. "It's a Ninth Layer Dustless Realm demonic beast?"

The fat man was startled and quickly prepared to take a detour. However, he suddenly noticed two figures in front of the rhinoceros, a man and a woman, who were being chased and fleeing in a panic.

"Boom!" The rhinoceros charged out, with a protective aura on its horn. It lowered its head and trampled wildly, instantly leveling a patch of the dense forest.

"Ah!" The man let out a scream as the rhinoceros' horn, like a spear, pierced through his calf, causing him to fall to the ground in pain. Seeing this, the woman's face turned pale. "Brother!"

"Xiaoyan, run! Don't worry about me!" Dai Yuepeng shouted in pain.

"No, I can't leave you behind." Dai Xiaoyan turned around, her eyes red, and she stood firmly in front of the rhinoceros.

Unfortunately, the rhinoceros was at the Ninth Layer Moving Dust Realm, and demonic beasts were generally stronger than humans. Dai Xiaoyan was only at the Eighth Layer Moving Dust Realm and could not stop the rhinoceros.

"Bang!" Dai Xiaoyan wielded a sleeve sword, swinging her hand to release several sword auras, but they failed to penetrate the rhinoceros' defenses and instead enraged it.

"Roar!" The rhinoceros left Dai Yuepeng and glared at Dai Xiaoyan with a cold, angry look in its eyes.

Dai Xiaoyan was shocked, but she had no choice. The rhinoceros' aura surged, and it stomped forward, causing a crack in the ground. In the next second, it would crush Dai Xiaoyan. At this moment, the fat man suddenly appeared, grabbing Dai Xiaoyan's waist and diving forward to block the rhinoceros' attack.

"Are you okay?" After dodging the rhinoceros' attack, the fat man rolled on the ground and looked at Dai Xiaoyan, who was a senior disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, very beautiful, and had a pure, neighborly charm. The fat man was somewhat infatuated.

"I, I'm fine. Thank you just now." Dai Xiaoyan said gratefully. If it weren't for the fat man, she would have definitely died.

"No problem, just a small effort. Damn, here it comes again?" The fat man's eyes narrowed as the iron-armored rhinoceros, enraged by the failed attack, turned around and stomped the ground, causing it to tremble and charge at the fat man.

"Run!" The fat man immediately shouted, grabbing Dai Xiaoyan's hand and preparing to run away, but Dai Xiaoyan suddenly stopped. "No, my brother is still there. I have to save him!"

The fat man also saw the severely injured Dai Yuepeng and frowned. His current situation was not good. If it were just the iron-armored rhinoceros, he was confident he could escape with both of them, but there was still a group of people chasing him.

"Fine, who made me so righteous? Since I've seen it, I'll help you!" The fat man turned around and ran towards Dai Yuepeng. On the way, he deliberately chose areas with dense trees to block the rhinoceros, but he was naive. The iron-armored rhinoceros, a bloodline demonic beast, had an iron-like body and charged recklessly, regardless of obstacles.

"Damn! So ruthless?" The fat man's face darkened, and he quickly sped up.

"My old man didn't lie to me. In this world, no skill is as powerful as running fast. Speed is the most important." The fat man thought as he quickly reached Dai Yuepeng. "Brother, are you okay?"

Dai Yuepeng's leg was injured, and he grabbed the fat man's hand in pain. "Brother, I can't run anymore. You take my sister and go!"

"Brother, if you don't go, I won't go either!" Dai Xiaoyan shook her head frantically.

"Enough, stop being sentimental, let's go together!" Seeing the siblings, the fat man was speechless. He suddenly bent down, picked up Dai Yuepeng, and fled into the dense forest.

"Whoosh!" At this moment, a sword pierced the fat man's chest.

"Ah!" The fat man screamed in pain, stumbled, and fell to his knees, staring at the person holding the sword. "Bastard!"

"Fatso, I finally caught up with you." The person with the sword sneered, drew another sword, and stabbed the fat man's calf, pinning him to the ground. "You can run, can't you? Let's see how you run now."

"Qinghong?" Dai Yuepeng and Dai Xiaoyan were shocked. Dai Xiaoyan immediately recognized him as the first person to enter the Vast Heaven Sect the same year as her, the only one to obtain a Fifth Rank Vast Heaven Order in the first year, and rumored to have connections with some of the sect's elders.

Qinghong glanced at Dai Xiaoyan, his eyes filled with a sinister look. "Sister Xiaoyan, I didn't expect to see you here. This isn't your business. Step back a bit, and I'll take care of this fat man, then I'll take you both away."

Dai Xiaoyan frowned but was about to speak when Dai Yuepeng pulled her back and shook his head.

"Don't meddle. Qinghong isn't an ordinary person. Offending him won't do us any good."

"But brother, he saved us just now!"

"He didn't save us. We were saved because of Qinghong's intervention. What does it have to do with a new disciple?" Dai Yuepeng suddenly interrupted Dai Xiaoyan, who was shocked by her brother's words.

Hearing Dai Yuepeng's words, Qinghong looked at him with satisfaction. "You're a good one. When we return to the Vast Heaven Sect, come find me. I'll help arrange your future."

Dai Yuepeng was delighted and bowed to Qinghong. "Thank you, Brother Qinghong."

The fat man felt a deep sense of irony. He had saved the siblings, but now he had become a stepping stone for others. However, he didn't speak, knowing that this was the way of martial arts. He didn't agree, but he didn't deny it.

"Brother Hong, there's a bloodline demonic beast, an iron-armored rhinoceros, with a demonic core." At this moment, Qinghong's other disciples arrived and stopped beside him.

"A bloodline demonic beast, a rare sight. You few go and kill it. Remember to leave the demonic core and the rhinoceros' horn, which is a rare treasure." Qinghong instructed.

"Yes!" The disciples charged at the iron-armored rhinoceros, and Qinghong turned to the fat man. "Hand over the demonic core, and I'll spare your life."

"What demonic core? I don't know anything about it! Ah!" The fat man didn't finish his sentence when Qinghong took out another sword and pinned his other leg to the ground, causing him to scream in pain.

"Chasing you has made me lose a lot of time, so I have no patience now." Qinghong said coldly.

"Son of a bitch, this is the Vast Heaven Sect. You can't kill me, just cripple me. I'm not afraid! But the demonic core, no way!" The fat man stared at Qinghong, his mouth full of blood, looking pitiful.

"You're still too young. Who told you that you can't kill in the Vast Heaven Sect?" Qinghong sneered, shook his head, and stabbed the fat man's hands with his sword.

"Ah!" The fat man's screams continued, and soon, he had several bloody wounds on his body. His eyes turned red, and he stared at Qinghong, but he didn't beg for mercy.

Dai Xiaoyan couldn't bear to watch, but Dai Yuepeng held her back, not letting her step forward.

"You're really asking for death." Qinghong sighed, and his sword was about to fall, but at this moment, a flame sword light split the air, blocking Qinghong's sword.

"Who dares to stop me?" Qinghong's face changed, and his eyes flared with anger.

Seeing the flame, the fat man became excited. He knew his persistence wasn't in vain, and he had finally waited for the person he was waiting for.

"Fatso!" Chu Yan arrived, and seeing the fat man's pitiful state, his eyes turned red.

"Hehe, Brother Chu, the fat man is fine. He didn't get the demonic core either." The fat man forced a smile.

"Are you stupid? It's just a demonic core. Give it to him, is it worth losing your life?" Chu Yan roared.

But in response to Chu Yan's scolding, the fat man smiled and took out a fiery red demonic core from his pocket. "This demonic core is different. It has elemental power, and it's fire elemental. It can help you improve your cultivation."

Chu Yan's heart trembled. The fire elemental demonic core was indeed rare, with only one in hundreds. He didn't expect that the fat man had been persisting just to give him a demonic core.

"I'll wait. I'll avenge you."

"Fine, kill this bastard for me!" The fat man smiled and then spat blood again.

Chu Yan stood up, his eyes cold as he looked at Qinghong. Qinghong frowned and, after seeing Chu Yan's strength, smiled playfully. "This year's new disciples are really bold. A Sixth Layer Moving Dust Realm, thinking of fighting me?"

Chu Yan didn't respond, just stared at Qinghong and said, word by word, "You will die here today. Do you believe it?"
