The Legend of the Demon Hunter

At this time, Xiao Zhu had been pulled in front of Qian Zhongyong by the bloody hand. Hundreds of blood vessels appeared in the bloody hand, sucking the blood and spiritual power in Xiao Zhu's body towards Qian Zhongyong.

But at this moment, Qian Zhongyong suddenly let out a scream of pain and despair.

"No! This is impossible!"

The next moment, Qian Zhongyong's voice stopped abruptly. His eyes widened, but his body shrank rapidly and turned into a lifeless mummy.

And the bloody hand that grabbed Xiao Zhu suddenly disappeared.

Tang Yiran rushed to the two men, only to see a blood-red broken sword stuck in Qian Zhongyong's chest, and Qian Zhongyong's blood was quickly absorbed into the sword.

The other end of the broken sword was in Xiao Zhu's hand!

Xiao Zhu's face was pale, and it was obvious that Qian Zhongyong's bloody hand had also caused great harm to Xiao Zhu.

He slowly pulled the broken sword out of Qian Zhongyong's shrunken body. The surface of the broken sword glowed with blood, and a strong smell of blood and killing spread out from the broken sword. Xiao Zhu was affected by the broken sword, his eyes turned blood red, and he seemed to be in a frenzy. This scene was too weird, and Tang Yiran couldn't help but take a step back.

"Brother Xiao?" Tang Yiran asked in a trembling voice.

Hearing Tang Yiran's words, Xiao Zhu was awakened from a dream. He came to his senses and the blood color in his eyes quickly faded away.

"We succeeded?" Xiao Zhu looked at Qian Zhongyong's body with a relieved expression.

"Brother Xiao, how...how did you do that just now?" Seeing Xiao Zhu return to normal, Tang Yiran's expression relaxed and she asked in confusion.

"This was a risky attempt. Although Qian Zhongyong practiced the Soul Devouring Technique, I have a friend who is a demon hunter with Shura bloodline. Shura bloodline has a strong suppressive effect on any other Soul Devouring spells, so I used her weapon to counterattack the opponent. Unexpectedly, it succeeded in one fell swoop."

After hearing Xiao Zhu's explanation, Tang Yiran nodded slowly. It was obvious that she was still frightened by the scene just now. She walked to Qian Zhongyong and put his body into her storage jade bracelet with a wave of her right hand.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao. You not only saved my life today, but also helped Yiran avenge his father's death." Tang Yiran said sincerely.

Xiao Zhu smiled faintly and did not answer. In fact, he didn't even have the strength to speak at this moment.

His condition had been poor in the past two days. After this battle, a lot of his spiritual energy had been absorbed by Qian Zhongyong, and he was already at the end of his strength.

Although the Blood Glaze absorbed all of Qian Zhongyong's essence, blood, and spiritual power, if it was Ning Zhiwan who held the Blood Glaze, the power absorbed by the Blood Glaze would be enough to heal Ning Zhiwan, but Xiao Zhu's bloodline factors are not compatible with the Blood Glaze, so these spiritual powers cannot be used by Xiao Zhu.

The next moment, Xiao Zhu staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Tang Yiran rushed over to support Xiao Zhu. She was thin and her height was not even as high as Xiao Zhu's shoulders, but as a hunter soul, she still supported Xiao Zhu's tall body steadily.

"Brother Xiao, you are seriously injured." Tang Yiran said.

Xiao Zhu nodded and said weakly, "Yeah."

Tang Yiran said: "I have a residence in Haining City. I will take you there now."

"Thank you." Xiao Zhu replied.

After getting Xiao Zhu's reply, Tang Yin immediately took out his magic weapon and flew into the city with Xiao Zhu. Soon they arrived at a remote courtyard.

Tang Yiran pushed open the door and put Xiao Zhu on the bed in the room. Xiao Zhu's condition was extremely bad at this time and he soon fell asleep. Tang Yiran looked at Xiao Zhu's face, listened to his breathing, and was stunned.

……

Seven days later.

Xiao Zhu suffered serious internal injuries this time. Normally, some external injuries could be healed in just one night, but this time, due to the loss of blood and spiritual energy, it took him seven full days to recover.

Despite this, Tang was still quite shocked. In her opinion, if an ordinary person suffered such an injury, it would probably take more than half a year to recover, and there was a high possibility of serious sequelae.

Xiao Zhu only stayed in bed for two days. From the third day on, he was able to meditate and practice normally. In the next five days, he recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye... On the seventh day, not only did he not have any sequelae, but his condition also reached its peak.

After Xiao Zhu recovered, he prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Brother Xiao, where are you planning to go next?" Tang Yiran asked.

Xiao Zhu pointed to the Wulong Mountains ahead and said, "I plan to go to the Wulong Mountains first. There are still some unfinished business to be dealt with at the Demon Hunter Association."

After all, Xiao Zhu and Qian Zhongyong did not participate in the finals of the Xuanwu branch president at the same time, which was too incredible for the Demon Hunter Association. Xiao Zhu planned to go and say hello, but of course Xiao Zhu would not mention what happened during this period to anyone.

"Yi Ran, what about you?" Xiao Zhu asked.

Tang Yiran looked up at the sky and said, "Now that my father's murder has been avenged, I plan to take Qian Zhongyong's body to pay tribute to my late father."

"Okay, then let's say goodbye here!" Xiao Zhu said goodbye.

Looking at Xiao Zhu's back, Tang Yiran suddenly asked: "Brother Xiao, the red broken sword you used to kill Qian Zhongyong, was its original owner your sweetheart?"

Xiao Zhu suddenly stopped as if he was frozen in place. He did not look back and said, "Yes, the biggest regret in my life is that I hate myself for not being able to save her..."

After saying this, Xiao Zhu turned into a ray of light and flew away.

Tang Yiran was looking at the direction where Xiao Zhu left. There was a white cloud floating slowly by. She suddenly felt that Xiao Zhu was just like this white cloud, within sight yet out of reach.

"I return your pearl with tears in my eyes. I regret that we did not meet before I got married." Tang Yin recited an ancient poem to herself.

......

Half an hour later, Xiao Zhu landed on the Wuji Square of Qinglong Peak and walked towards the Hall of Heroes.

As he walked, Xiao Zhu was recalling how he killed Qian Zhongyong. What puzzled him was why the broken Blood Glaze not only did not lose its power, but seemed to be even stronger than before?

This was beyond his understanding!

Unconsciously, Xiao Zhu had walked to the door of the Hall of Heroes. At this moment, an old voice came from behind: "Xiao Zhu, why is it you? You are really here!"

Xiao Zhu looked in the direction of the voice and found that Hu Haibo and Mu Lianying were standing behind them, looking at him in disbelief.

"Senior Hu, Senior Mu, I encountered something a few days ago and was delayed in the competition. I came here specially to apologize." Xiao Zhu said guiltily.

"What are you talking about? Vice President Jiang Duo had already predicted that you would come back here one day, and he specifically told the two of us that if you come, he can directly grant you the position of vice president of the Xuanwu branch without the need for competition." Mu Lianying said.

"Really? How could this happen?" Xiao Zhu was surprised and happy when he heard Mu Lianying's words.

"Well, the Demon Hunter Association investigated Qian Zhongyong's background and found that he once killed a legendary demon hunter of the association. We naturally cannot hire someone with such a bad record," Mu Lianying explained.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Zhu understood in his heart that it seemed that the Demon Hunter Association had obtained the information that Tang Yiran's father had been murdered.

"Moreover, Qian Zhongyong hasn't shown up in the past few days and didn't even participate in the finals. I guess he knew that we were also investigating him, so he wanted to avoid him." Mu Lianying continued.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhu realized that the Demon Hunter Association had not yet learned that Qian Zhongyong had been killed, but he was in no mood to explain.

Since the Demon Hunter Association decided to pass the position of the president of the Xuanwu branch directly to him, he gladly accepted it. He thought he had missed this competition, but he didn't expect that his hard work would finally be rewarded.

"Aren't Vice President Jiang Duo and Senior Wan at Qinglong Peak now?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"No, they went to the Mu Ye Forest in the Kingdom of Arabia, and asked us to tell you to go there as well." Hu Haibo replied.

Xiao Zhu was quite surprised to hear that Jiang Duo and Wan Yixing had gone to the Muye Forest. He asked, "Did something important happen in the Muye Forest?"

Mu Lianying nodded and said, "Yes, Yuanwu, one of the five sacred weapons, appeared there!"
