Chapter 78: Blood Demon Battlefield

The green walls were covered with numerous tasks, densely packed and dazzling to the eye. Ye Feng finally settled on one: kill fifty Blood Demons to earn five hundred contribution points. The task was relatively easy, but for ordinary Ninth Rank of the Innate Realm, it was quite challenging.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng tore off the task tag and approached the registration counter.

"Name!" The registrar was an old man in his fifties. He glanced at Ye Feng and asked.

"Ye Feng!"

The old man quickly registered Ye Feng, returned the task to him, and gave him a talisman.

"This is your pass to return from the Blood Demon Battlefield. If you want to retreat from the Blood Demon Battlefield, just crush this talisman, and you will be teleported back. Don't lose it, remember! Walk forward for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and you will find a teleportation array that will send you to the Blood Demon Battlefield." The old man explained to Ye Feng.

"Thank you for your guidance!" Ye Feng thanked him.

Leaving the Merit Hall, Ye Feng followed the mountain path down to where the teleportation array was located. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Feng saw many people queuing up, all heading to the Blood Demon Battlefield.

Just as he reached the teleportation array, Ye Feng found himself surrounded by four people. The surrounding disciples immediately made space, each with a look of schadenfreude.

"This kid must have offended the Four Apes. I heard many new disciples have suffered at their hands."

"Lower your voice. These Four Apes are from the Tianxing Academy. We can't afford to offend them. They are also close to Jian Chengfeng, one of the top ten inner disciples of the Tianxing Academy. Jian Chengfeng's grandfather is a senior elder of our academy, and even core disciples treat him with respect. Do you want to die?" A man next to the speaker patted the young man.

The young man quickly shrank back. Although their voices were low, Ye Feng, with his soul absorbing the energy of the soul stone, could clearly sense everything within a dozen meters.

"What do you four want? I don't seem to know any of you." Ye Feng said coldly.

"Kid, you don't know us, but we know you. Someone has asked us to take good care of you, so you don't get devoured by Blood Demons in the Blood Demon Battlefield. We'll bring back your remains if that happens." The eldest of the Four Apes spoke, his voice dripping with malice.

A glint of killing intent flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. This was a clear threat, implying he wouldn't return from the Blood Demon Battlefield.

"My safety is none of your concern. Tell your master that I, Ye Feng, am not afraid of trouble. If anyone dares to mess with me, tell him to be more careful." Ye Feng sneered.

"Kid, you're arrogant. You don't know the reputation of the Four Apes. No one who offends us has a good end." The second ape spoke, his anger evident.

Ye Feng had already guessed that these people were sent by Jian Chengfeng. Chapter 78: Blood Demon Battlefield

He didn't expect that just by refusing to join the Tianxing Academy on the first day, they would send people to intimidate him. Jian Chengfeng was indeed domineering, but it didn't matter. He would make Jian Chengfeng regret it.

"You've delivered your message. Do you have anything else? If not, I'm going to enter the Blood Demon Battlefield. Please step aside."

Ye Feng knew they wouldn't dare to act in the academy, so he was fearless. If he could, he would have killed these scoundrels long ago.

Ignoring the murderous looks from the four, Ye Feng walked into the teleportation array. A bright light flashed, and Ye Feng disappeared from the Southern Divine Land, entering the Blood Demon Battlefield.

"That kid is dead for sure, talking to us like that." The youngest of the Four Apes roared.

After passing through a bizarre, colorful tunnel, Ye Feng felt his body lighten as he stepped into the Blood Demon Battlefield for the first time.

"Is this the Blood Demon Battlefield? The blood aura is so dense." Upon entering, Ye Feng felt the thick blood aura in the air.

Only constant battles could create such a blood-soaked atmosphere. It seemed the Blood Demon Battlefield was always in a state of conflict. Choosing a direction, Ye Feng leaped forward and disappeared from sight.

Not long after Ye Feng disappeared, another flash of light appeared, and four figures emerged. The Four Apes had followed him.

"That kid went east. What should we do? Should we chase after him?" The second ape asked.

"Master Jian has ordered us to kill this kid and bring back everything he has. He will reward us with ten thousand contribution points and ten thousand True Spirit Pills. The pills have already been given to us. If we kill this kid, we will earn another ten thousand contribution points, allowing us to rest for half a month without doing tasks, focusing on cultivation to break through to the Earth Martial Realm." The eldest ape said.

"This kid is not weak. He has the strength to defeat the Innate Realm. It's uncertain if we four can kill him." The third ape was cautious.

"Don't worry. He's just a brute. I'm already at the Half-Step Earth Martial Realm, and we are four. Killing him will be easy." The eldest ape patted his chest.

"Alright, let's chase after him quickly to prevent him from escaping." The four quickly followed in the direction Ye Feng had disappeared.

Racing forward, Ye Feng traveled for about half an hour, moving incredibly fast, like a gentle breeze. He finally reached the edge of the Blood Demon Battlefield, where he could see Blood Demons moving around sporadically.

Suddenly, Ye Feng smelled an extremely strong, bloody odor and slowed his pace, moving cautiously forward.

In front of him, a vast open area appeared, with dozens of corpses lying on the ground. Dozens of Blood Demons were feasting on these corpses, and some were still alive, their bellies torn open, their essence and blood being consumed.

Seeing someone appear, all the Blood Demons raised their heads and looked at Ye Feng, emitting low, angry roars.

The Blood Demons were extremely ugly, with inverted eyes, red fangs, and horns on their foreheads. Their bodies were twice as strong as humans, walking upright with sharp claws that could easily tear through human flesh.

The corpses on the ground were dressed in Tianling Academy uniforms, all outer disciples, and their deaths were gruesome. Even if they weren't dead, they had lost consciousness.

More than ten Blood Demons abandoned their feasting and approached Ye Feng, their eyes filled with a bloodthirsty look. They clawed at him without warning, their attacks surprisingly fast.

"Kill!"

Ye Feng's purpose was to hunt Blood Demons. The more he killed, the more contribution points he would earn, which he could use to exchange for a refining technique or more True Spirit Pills.

Spirit Stones and True Spirit Pills were essential for cultivators. Ye Feng needed several times more than the average person, so he had to quickly gather enough True Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones. Once he broke through to the Innate Realm, the number of True Spirit Pills he would need would be terrifying.

The giant palm of a Blood Demon was about to strike Ye Feng, the red aura and foul smell making him feel nauseous.

"Looking for death!"

As the Blood Demon pounced, Ye Feng roared, his nails extending, and he counterattacked with both claws.

"Crack!"

The approaching Blood Demon was a weak one, at the Eighth Rank of the Innate Realm. It was instantly torn apart by Ye Feng, its essence and blood absorbed by him.

The dense essence and blood emitted a warm aura, flowing into Ye Feng's body and transforming into pure energy, replenishing the true qi in his nine dantians.

"Such pure energy, even stronger than human essence and blood." Absorbing the Blood Demon's essence and blood, Ye Feng found it much richer than human essence and blood, and the true qi it produced was even more concentrated.

Several more Blood Demons pounced, surrounding Ye Feng. Their attacks were not very fast, as they were still in the Human Demon stage, the lowest rank of demons.

With a powerful leap, Ye Feng charged forward, fearless against the evil Blood Demons. His hands moved swiftly, using the Bone-Crushing Fist and sharp claws, tearing apart another Blood Demon and keeping its head.

Blood Demons were similar to Corpse Ghosts, with a core inside their heads. Corpse Ghosts had Corpse Cores, and Blood Demons had Blood Demon Cores, storing all their essence. Ye Feng had absorbed one earlier, but these Blood Demons were just Human Demons, and their Blood Demon Cores were not very useful to him. He kept them to exchange for contribution points later.

In a moment, Ye Feng killed four or five Blood Demons, decapitating them and storing their heads in his storage ring. The other Blood Demons, seeing Ye Feng's brutal attack, all took a step back.

"Such a bold kid, with impressive strength. Perfect to satisfy my recent weakness after breaking through." A Blood Demon spoke, and Ye Feng looked at it. It was completely black, having evolved to the Black Demon stage.

It seemed these disciples were all killed by this Blood Demon, which had evolved to the Black Demon stage. At this stage, it was comparable to a human in the Innate Realm, with an extremely strong body that ordinary weapons couldn't penetrate.

"Did you kill these disciples?" Ye Feng's eyes were fixed on the Black Demon, not daring to be careless. Blood Demons were different from humans. They relied on devouring, plundering, and imitating humans. Some could even cultivate human martial techniques and turn the tables on the disciples who came to hunt them.

"Ha ha ha, yes, I killed them. Your essence and blood are very strong, perfect for me to absorb." The Black Demon licked its lips, sensing the essence and blood in Ye Feng's body, its eyes glowing red.

Ye Feng's face turned cold, and the Qiu Sha appeared in his hand. A powerful axe beam slashed down, its momentum overwhelming, aiming for the Black Demon's body.

Seeing Ye Feng's overwhelming axe beam, the Black Demon's eyes flashed with panic. Ye Feng's strength was even greater than that of the Innate Realm. It didn't dare to counterattack directly and instead used a human martial technique to dodge to the side.

"Crack!"

A long crack appeared on the ground where the axe beam struck. Ye Feng retracted the axe and blocked several directions, leaving the Black Demon no place to hide.

"Die!"

Ye Feng roared, and nine axe beams crisscrossed, tightly controlling the Black Demon's body.
