Danzun War God

Chapter Seventy-Four: A Show of Force

Upon entering Blood Soul Mountain, the visual impact was immense, with red and black everywhere. The constant exposure to red for an extended period made them increasingly agitated. The winding mountain paths were already difficult to traverse, but the shifting blood mist made them even more treacherous, so they progressed slowly.

Through his divine sense, Han Qi discovered that there were indeed many low-level magical beasts around them, with the level increasing the further they went in. However, they posed no threat to them whatsoever, as the aura and pressure of the group of people were enough to completely intimidate them.

"Everyone, keep a calm mindset and don't let the hostility here affect you. The hostility is strong right now, so you can slow down a bit and shift your focus. If you let this hostility cloud your judgment, you're all doomed," Han Qi gently reminded everyone.

Han Qi observed the group's demeanor and noticed that Tang Siyu seemed to be getting impatient. Her brows were furrowed and her breathing became heavy.

After a moment's thought, Han Qi took out the Soul-Suppressing Stone from his Life Palace. This Soul-Suppressing Stone was given to him by Elder Situ of the Tianxuan Sect. It has the effect of strengthening the primordial spirit. Han Qi's primordial spirit should be able to withstand the current malevolent energy due to the effect of the Formless Technique.

Han Qi gave the Soul-Suppressing Stone to Tang Siyu and told her to place it in her Life Palace. With the Soul-Suppressing Stone's blessing on her primordial spirit, Tang Siyu's condition immediately improved a lot.

Suddenly, Chen Wei, the leader, stopped in his tracks. He channeled a surge of profound energy into his Berserker Axe, making the red axe appear even redder and gleaming with a cold light. His sharp gaze fixed ahead. He assumed a fighting stance, ready to strike.

The three behind Han Qi were also extremely vigilant, their profound energy already condensed, and Han Qi also activated the Fire Spirit Pearl.

"Boom! Boom!"

A dark figure approached from the left front. It was about ten feet tall. It turned out to be a huge, black bull demon passing by. It glanced at the group of people and then calmly walked away.

After the blood bull demon passed by, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on us?" Qin Wuyang said unhappily, with a hint of enjoying the drama.

Chen Wei said calmly, "It's a good thing he ignored us, otherwise we would have been in big trouble. In my opinion, this Blood Bull Demon has already reached the cultivation level of an eighth-order demon beast."

Han Qi stared at Chen Wei in astonishment. He couldn't even discern the wolf's cultivation level without Chen Wei using his profound energy, something even he couldn't do. Han Qi couldn't help but wonder, "Just what level has this wolf reached now?"

Even Qin Wuyang was shocked when he heard this, he stuck out his tongue. He really couldn't tell the bull's cultivation level, and he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't acted rashly earlier.

"Why is this bull demon changing locations? And it's ignoring us completely. Is there something even more powerful ahead? Is the bull demon on the run? It's trying to hide its presence," Han Qi said softly, glancing around every now and then.

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up immediately. It was indeed possible. However, what level of character could make this eighth-tier Blood Bull Demon retreat? For a moment, everyone was stunned. It must be at least an eighth-tier demon beast. A seventh-tier demon might still have a chance of winning, but an eighth or ninth-tier demon would basically be a death sentence.

"Let's go take a look. Let me see what's so arrogant." Chen Wei said, casting a questioning glance at Han Qi.

Han Qi then shouted, "Let's go! We'll see what's going on, and we'll get through it! We'll kill any god or Buddha that gets in our way!" Han Qi's words were full of heroic spirit, which immediately inspired everyone.

"Let's go!" Tang Siyu said, mimicking Han Qi's tone, and then cast a grateful glance at Han Qi.

"Damn it!" Qin Wuyang shouted fiercely, brandishing his Demon-Drinking Blade.

So the group continued onward, but this time they proceeded with greater caution. They all unleashed their divine senses to the maximum, because Han Qi was providing them with pills to protect their blood and spiritual energy, and they were all taking them freely. This was the advantage of having an alchemist by your side.

However, to everyone's surprise, after walking for several kilometers, they did not see any of the so-called high-level monsters. They killed a few blood frogs, but they were all low-level and not worth mentioning.

However, the group did not let their guard down. Just then, Han Qi tripped and nearly fell over, which startled everyone.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that what tripped Han Qi was a red rope about the thickness of a finger, but the end of the rope was beyond the range of their spiritual senses.

Although the group had doubts, they did not stop there and continued forward. After taking only a few steps, they found another rope that looked the same. Just as they were wondering about it, the rope began to tremble, and the trembling became more and more intense.

"Bloodthirsty Spider!" With his keen sense of smell, Chen Wei was the first to spot the monster running along the rope.

After the bloodthirsty spider had traveled some distance from the group, it stopped. Wherever it went, the blood mist would instantly disperse, revealing a giant spider, as tall as a person, standing about five zhang away from them, baring its fangs and claws, glaring at them menacingly, and hissing.

“A seventh-tier demonic beast!” Han Qi said calmly.

"Get him!" Chen Wei suddenly roared, swinging his Berserker Axe as he charged forward.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the man and the spider retreated. In their first encounter, neither had used their full strength, and both were testing each other. Of course, they were both disappointed by this attack, as neither had figured out the other's strength.

Chen Wei directly channeled even more powerful Xuan Qi into the Berserker Axe. The Berserker Axe seemed even redder than before, covered with a layer of light blue Xuan Qi, and its eyes revealed a murderous aura.

Of course, this seventh-tier spider was no weakling either; otherwise, why would the Blood Bull Demon have willingly retreated? He unleashed a cloud of blood mist in the air, his body also covered in a layer of blood mist, radiating murderous intent.

"Thump! Thump..."

Chen Wei took the initiative, his feet moving with the force of a thousand pounds, each stomp creating a crack about a finger's width beneath his feet. His explosive speed was equally astonishing; a blur of motion shot towards the Bloodthirsty Spider…

A blood-red spider suddenly emerged, attempting to wrap Chen Wei up. Chen Wei's movements faltered slightly, tearing a large hole in the spider web. Chen Wei still charged towards the blood-red spider, slashing out with his Berserker Axe.

"Roaring Sky Slash!"

"boom!"

The spider managed to dodge the axe, which struck its silk. The silk snapped, and although the spider had dodged the axe, it was sent flying by the energy emanating from the blow.

With just one strike, the bloodthirsty spider showed fear. In the spider's mind, no one had ever been able to escape its web. Although the attack had not caused serious injury, the psychological shock to the spider was extremely terrifying and completely unexpected.
