Chapter 701

"Amitabha. This penniless monk only hopes that the few of you can put down your grudges and hatred and become Buddhas immediately."

After Lu Ling finished speaking, he felt that what he said made sense. He then looked at He Yunwang and Senior Brother Fan.

However, the two of them looked as though they did not believe it even if they were beaten to death.

He Yunwang himself understood that this old bald donkey must have some relationship with Chen Yu. Otherwise, why would he stand on Chen Yu's side and protect Chen Yu so obviously?

He even felt that the two of them were teammates and this old bald donkey was deliberately angering him.

"Where did this stinky monk pop out from?"

Senior Brother Fan's understanding of Lu Ling was shallow and he could only curse in his heart.

Chen Yu was powerful to begin with, especially with his defensive means. He had actually blocked his and He Yunwang's combined attack just now.

Coupled with the old monk's help, Senior Brother Fan and He Yunwang's combined attack would indeed not be able to do anything to Chen Yu. At the very least, they would not be able to snatch back the Essence Fire Stone.

This made him incomparably furious.

Suddenly, Senior Brother Fan struck out with quick thunder and slashed out with his sword.

Even if he could not do anything to Chen Yu and the chances of snatching back the Essence Fire Stone was slim, he could not give up just like that. At the very least, he needed to vent the anger in his heart.

The resplendent starlight transformed into a crescent moon and streaked down. The ice-cold starlight spread out, illuminating the surroundings into a silver world under the starlight.

As for Senior Brother Fan's attack to vent his anger, Chen Yu did not intend to take it head-on.

Puff puff!

The wings on his back flapped continuously and a golden flame mist sprayed out. Chen Yu's body rose rapidly and dodged this attack.

Boom!

When the cold and resplendent moonlight landed on the ground where Chen Yu had just stood, it didn't cause much of a tremor. Instead, it sank several meters into the ground before exploding.

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but look at the source of the voice.

Senior Brother Fan also looked over.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, a huge pit was revealed where he had been. The bottom was buried by many rocks.

In fact, when Chen Yu took out the Essence Fire Stone just now, there was a small hole left on the spot, but he didn't pay attention to it.

At this moment, Senior Brother Fan's sword had widened the small hole, revealing the deep pit below.

The few powerhouses scanned the area with their spiritual senses. They passed through the rocks and found that there was nothing underneath.

This was a passageway in the mountains!

"There are Primal Fire Stones here. Could there be other treasures like this in the passageway?"

Senior Brother Fan suddenly had this thought.

He Yunwang thought so as well. Hence, the two of them landed, while Chen Yu stood to the side and watched.

Boom!

He Yunxiang waved his hand, and the pile of rubble in front of him was blasted to the side, revealing a crack in the rock that led downwards. It looked like a passageway.

Senior Martial Brother Fan hacked into the interior with his sword and seemed to have broken a few pieces of rock, breaking through the blockage at the bottom of the passageway.

Booooom!

A fiery mist spewed out from within, turning into a fiery light that spread in all directions.

"That aura just now was similar to the aura of the Fire Bloodline, and it was very extraordinary."

Chen Yu sensed it. After all, he had used the power of the Golden-Winged Phoenix's bloodline a few times. At this moment, he felt a sense of familiarity.

"This is the smell of the blood of a Fire Saint Beast."

The old monk, Lu Ling's nose twitched slightly as he took a deep breath and thought to himself.

Swoosh!

He Yunwang and Senior Brother Fan darted in, as though they wanted to see if there were any treasures. However, they did not return after a while.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu darted in to take a look.

The temperature in the passageway was extremely high, but it did not affect Chen Yu at all.

After entering for a moment, he felt that the aura of the Fire Bloodline was getting clearer.

At the same time, he saw Senior Brother Fan and He Yunwang in front of him.

The two of them immediately turned back and glanced coldly at Chen Yu. When they realized that the old monk had come down as well, they did not attack.

"Old monk, we have not attacked yet and have already put aside our grudges. Why are you following us?"

He Yunwang said indignantly, wanting to refute the old monk's words.

"Amitabha, this poor monk is afraid that the two of you will fight again after I leave."

The old monk, Lu Ling, disliked He Yunwang as well and deliberately angered the other party.

He Yunwang was already used to it and quickly tolerated it, no longer arguing with the old monk.

Bang!

He Yunwang struck out with his claw, shattering the rocks in front of him with ease and the passageway extended downwards once more.

At the same time, there was a sparkling jade that reflected the light of fire embedded on the stone wall not far away – it was an Essence Fire Stone!

He Yunwang was quick to react. He immediately took action and snatched it away.

"Brother Fan, there must be more Essence Fire Stones down there. I'll let you have the next one,"

He Yunwang said immediately.

Senior Brother Fan also knew that the situation was complicated and if they were to fight, it would benefit Chen Yu and the old monk instead.

"Alright!"

Senior Brother Fan nodded and temporarily joined forces with He Yunwang.

Right then, Chen Yu realized that the stone wall beside him was a little strange. He punched it and the rocks scattered, revealing another passageway.

Chen Yu did not say anything and walked in.

If he followed He Yunwang and the others, all the good stuff would be taken away by them. Furthermore, it would be easy for disputes to arise. Therefore, Chen Yu decided to act alone.

"Young patron, this penniless monk will follow you."

The old monk, Lu Ling, said.

As for He Yunwang and Senior Brother Fan, after a moment of hesitation, they could only let Chen Yu leave.

The further they walked, the higher the surrounding temperature. It was as though it could melt iron and refine gold. Chen Yu felt hot as well.

In reality, given his physique, he shouldn't be feeling that way at the moment.

That was because Lu Ling was also being roasted by the surrounding flames and the damage was shared with Chen Yu. Therefore, the two of them were suffering from double heat.

The old monk's head turned slightly red.

In order to prevent Chen Yu from seeing through him, Lu Ling activated the old monk's Golden Body to resist the surrounding temperature.

After walking for a moment, Chen Yu discovered a Fire Essence Stone on the stone wall ahead as well as another fire-element ore. He walked over immediately.

"Master, you shouldn't need these things, right?"

Smiling, Chen Yu took action and stored the ores in his storage space.

Before long, they reached the end of the tunnel. Chen Yu punched out and a narrow underground space appeared before him.

In a certain place, there was a gigantic blood-red stone that emitted a strong blood qi. A gentle breath would cause the blood in one's body to flow faster.

"Blood Essence Crystal!"

After approaching, Chen Yu sensed it and found that it was indeed a crystal formed from blood.

However, it wasn't the fire bloodline power that Chen Yu was familiar with.

"Patron, how about giving this to this penniless monk?"

Lu Ling asked.

The Blood Essence Crystal was a treasure condensed from the powerful bloodline of dead beings and was a great supplement for the Blood race.

Lu Ling's cultivation was damaged previously and he needed such a treasure to raise his cultivation.

If his cultivation and strength increased, he would be more confident in dealing with Chen Yu.

"Master, weren't you always protecting me in the past? Why are you snatching something from me now? "

The corners of Chen Yu's mouth curled up as he teased.

"The reason why this penniless monk is protecting you is that this penniless monk owes the Black Demon Valley a favor. Patron, you have already obtained so many treasures, so how about giving this penniless monk the Blood Essence Crystal?"

Lu Ling smiled and said the excuse he had long thought of.

Chen Yu came from the Black Demon Valley, and he said that he owed the Black Demon Valley a favor, so there was a reasonable explanation for his excessive protection of Chen Yu just now.

"Is that so?"

Chen Yu smiled and then said, "How come I don't know what kind of favor the Blood race owes the Black Demon Valley? I only know that the Black Demon Valley owes the Blood race a lot of blood!"

The old monk's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a bloodthirsty light flashed.

"Patron, what are you talking about? This penniless monk doesn't understand at all. "

The old monk asked with a smile.

But all of a sudden, his figure exploded, and his golden body bloomed with infinite Buddhist light as he crushed toward Chen Yu in an incomparably powerful manner.

At the same time, the old monk spat out a mouthful of scarlet sticky blood, which turned into a giant blood-colored hand that grabbed at Chen Yu.

Since he had already been exposed, he could only take action to quickly control Chen Yu and make him swallow the blood pill he had refined.

"It really is the Blood race!"

Chen Yu tensed up slightly.

When the old monk deliberately approached Chen Yu previously, he had been wary, but he did not show it.

Later, when he entered the mountain passage, the intense burning feeling made Chen Yu feel that something was wrong, and he thought of the Blood Soul Combination Technique.

At this moment, the old monk took the initiative to ask for the Blood Essence Crystal, which confirmed Chen Yu's guess.

Boom!

A powerful Buddhist physical strength and the pressure of the Blood Dao came crashing down.

The body that Lu Ling occupied was at the peak of the initial stage Void Sea Realm, and it was also a Buddhist expert with a tough physical body.

Lu Ling himself was a Blood race expert, and the blood palm that extended from his mouth emitted a terrifying bloody aura. When Chen Yu glanced over, it was as though he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His heart was extremely heavy, and he had a feeling that it was hard to resist.

With Chen Yu's current strength, it was indeed difficult to face a middle stage Origin Realm expert, and he could only escape.

What's more, Lu Ling was a Blood Race expert, and his methods were unpredictable.

"Since that is the case …"

Chen Yu revealed a murderous gaze as he gritted his teeth.

Peng!

Chen Yu extended his palm and sent out a palm strike, but it wasn't aimed at Lu Ling, but at himself.

Chen Yu's palm strike landed on his chest, and the force affected his internal organs. His body couldn't help but fly backward and crash into the wall.

Because Chen Yu didn't take the initiative to defend, it wasn't an all-out attack, but it still caused severe damage to his body.

At the same time, Lu Ling, who was preparing to attack Chen Yu, suddenly opened his eyes wide and became bloodshot. His face changed between green and red, and his body stopped in mid-air as a trace of blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it …"

Because of the blood soul connection, when Chen Yu was injured, Lu Ling would also suffer the same injury.

At this moment, Lu Ling's main body, which was that blood red head, was suffering an unknown injury.

Not only did Chen Yu dodge Lu Ling's attack range, he even injured Lu Ling, and he got closer to the blood essence crystal.

Swish!

He got up and darted towards the blood essence crystal, wanting to snatch it.

"Damn it, let's not care about this kid first, and think about it after I get the blood essence crystal."

Lu Ling had a sinister expression as he cursed and immediately rushed out.

He burst out with his cultivation, and his speed was extremely fast as he approached the blood essence crystal.

"Don't even think about it!"

Chen Yu's eyes flashed with ferocity as he reached out again and slammed his hand on his chest, leaving a palm print.

This time, Chen Yu's attack was even more ruthless. He felt that many of his internal organs had been shattered, and a few of his ribs were broken.

He spat out a large mouthful of blood as his body flew towards the blood essence crystal.

Lu Ling's main body also suffered an unknown injury, and he stopped in mid-air for a moment before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Got it!"

Chen Yu landed on the blood essence crystal, picked it up with one hand, and stuffed it into his interspatial storage.
