Chapter 132: The Battle at the Peak
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Pingshan smiled disdainfully and released his blood to condense into a spear that attacked Zhang Chen.
“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…” The crimson blood rolled like boiling lava.
Wherever it passed, the air twisted due to the high temperature, and the surrounding trees quickly withered and burned.
Gu Pingshan was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Alchemy House lineage. His main cultivation was naturally the Blood Boiling Scripture.
The temperature contained in his blood was terrifying, reaching the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage. Only the Elder Blood Flame in the Blood God Sect could surpass him.
Ten Blood God Sons rushed towards the blood spear, but as soon as they approached, their bodies were burned and boiled by the high temperature, causing their forms to become unstable and scatter into blood.
“Phew-”
Two Frost Bone Slaves immediately exhaled cold air, condensing into an ice spear.
However, the gap between the two sides was too great. As soon as they approached, they were melted by the scorching temperature.
At the same time, Zhang Chen condensed the Blood Demon Qi and struck out.
Blood Demon Palm!
“Boom!”
A large hole appeared in the center of the demon palm. The hot blood spear pierced through the evil aura and continued to attack.
Although neither of the two attacks was able to withstand the blood spear, they weakened its momentum considerably.
Just as the blood spear was about to descend, a huge figure stood in front of
Zhang Chen.
It was the White Bone True Body!
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, two grooves appeared on the ground, and the White BoneTrue Body retreated a hundred feet before coming to a halt. Its originally jade-like body turned charred.
“Junior Brother Zhang, your strength is not worth mentioning in my eyes.”
Gu Pingshan stood proudly in the air and looked at Zhang Chen, who had used all his methods to block his attack. He smiled disdainfully and raised his hand gently.
The blood in his body wriggled and condensed into dozens of scorching blood spears.
With another flip of his palm, he lightly waved it, and a dense array of blood spears descended upon Zhang Chen.
It was already a struggle to block one blood spear, so what about dozens of them?
Zhang Chen remained unperturbed and calmly said, “Make your move.”
Shen Yijun and Ma Quan made their move. One on the left and one on the right, they simultaneously activated their artifacts and attacked Gu Pingshan. “What is the meaning of this, two fellow cultivators?”
Although Gu Pingshan was surprised and did not expect the two of them to be in cahoots with Zhang Chen, he had been on guard against them from the beginning.
The blood in his body surged and condensed into four thick Blood Anacondas with single horns.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss…”
The Blood Anacondas were vivid and brimming with a fierce aura. They opened their blood-filled mouths and let out terrifying hisses.
Snake, python, anaconda, flood dragon, dragon.
The python grew a horn to become an anaconda, two horns to become a dragon, and five claws to become a true dragon.
Apart from the Blood Boiling Scripture, Gu Pingshan actually cultivated the Blood Spirit Technique and reached the fourth realm of the Anaconda Dragon Transformation.
Because he was on guard against Shen Yijun and Ma Quan’s sneak attacks, he hadn’t exerted his full strength against Zhang Chen earlier; instead, he concealed his true power.
The four Blood Anacondas bit and entangled the artifacts of the two cultivators, facing their attacks.
If it was just an ordinary blood anaconda, it would at most control or send their artifacts flying. However, Gu Pingshan’s blood carried a terrifyingly high temperature.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…’
When the artifacts touched the Blood Anacondas, they sizzled and emitted bursts of black smoke.
“Come back!” Shen Yijun and the other two were greatly shocked and tried to retrieve their artifacts.
However, the four Blood Anacondas were unwilling to let go of the cultivators’ artifacts and tightly clung to them.
With prolonged contact, the artifacts even showed signs of melting.
Shen Yijun and Ma Quan were both at the Foundation Establishment ninth level. After using some means, they successfully retrieved their artifacts and launched another attack, but they became much more cautious.
On the other side, facing dozens of scorching blood spears, Zhang Chen used the Blood Shadow Avatar Technique, splitting his body into two.
The Avatar and the Bone Slave temoorarilv blocked the blood soears. while the true body unleashed the Blood God Sons without reservation.
The Blood God Sons advanced one after another, constantly charging towards the blood spears, absorbing their temperature, and then boiling and collapsing under the high temperature, forming boiling blood pools on the ground.
From afar, it looked like a hotpot.
With the absorption of numerous Blood God Sons, the temperature of the blood spear plummeted.
“How do you have so many Blood God Sons?!”
Gu Pingshan was shocked. Then he thought of something and revealed a greedy gaze.
“The source of your blood essence! Where did you get your blood essence from to be able to nurture more than a hundred Blood God Sons at the ninth level of
Qi Refinement?!”
Zhang Chen ignored him and launched a counterattack. The previously shattered Blood God Sons condensed again and pounced on Gu Pingshan.
“You must be hiding a huge secret. Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll uncover your secret!”
Gu Pingshan desperately wanted to know Zhang Chen’s secret and fully activated the Blood Boiling Scripture.
It erupted like a volcano, spewing forth a large amount of blood that resembled molten lava.
The temperature around them soared once again, causing the plants to ignite without fire, the earth to crack, as if they were truly immersed in volcanic lava.
At this moment, Gu Pingshan resembled a demon god controlling the lava, his power surging. Facing three opponents, he not only held his ground but also held the upper hand.
The main thing was that Gu Pingshan was not an ordinary ninth level Foundation Establishment cultivator, but a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If not for the fact that he was afraid of encountering any mishaps, he could have entered seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm at any time.
Since his cultivation level couldn’t be further improved, he had to elevate the realm of his techniques, which led him to learn the Blood Spirit Technique.
The combination of the two techniques doubled his strength and more.
Furthermore, Shen Yijun and Ma Quan were itinerant cultivators, lacking in techniques and resources, far inferior to disciples of sects.
The only commendable thing about them was their rich combat experience.
Moreover, Ma Quan was injured. Although he had taken a medicinal pill, his strength was only around 50 percent of his usual strength.
However, Zhang Chen had more hidden cards up his sleeve than just these.
“Heaven and Earth Combined!”
With a thought, Zhang Chen controlled the Blood God Sons to use a joint attack spell.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom…”
Faced with numerous attacks comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage, Gu Pingshan became somewhat flustered and fell into a disadvantage.
But Zhang Chen wasn’t satisfied. They were still too close to the Blood God Sect, so they had to finish the battle quickly.
Sky Demon Disintegration Technique!
Combined attack spells required coordination and precise control. Zhang Chen’s mind was only enough to control 50 Blood God Sons to perform the combined attack spell.
The remaining dozens of Blood Gods used the Sky Demon Disintegration Technique to explode and self-destruct.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom…”
Gu Pingshan couldn’t fathom how Zhang Chen had so many methods and such formidable strength. Under the continuous and intensive bombardment, his energy was greatly depleted, and he began to struggle to cope, facing imminent danger.
“Junior Brother Zhang, I never expected you to hide so deeply, repeatedly surprising me. I’m glad I took action today. If I gave you another 10 years, I might not be the one attacking you.”
As he spoke, Gu Pingshan took out several bottles, tilted his head back, and swallowed all the pills inside.
As the head of the Alchemy House, he had various types of pills.
Compared to demonic techniques, the side effects of using medicinal pills were much smaller.
“Boom!”
As the pills entered his stomach, flames surged from Gu Pingshan’s body, and his momentum soared once again.
“These are Blood Ignition Pills!” Shen Yijun, who had seen a lot, recognized the abnormality on Gu Pingshan’s body and exclaimed.
The effect of the Blood Ignition Pills was the same as the Blood Ignition Technique, burning one’s blood to enhance cultivation.
However, using the Blood Ignition Technique would lead to certain death, while the Blood Ignition Pills would not. The only consequence was a significant decline in cultivation afterward..
