Chapter 76: Blood Slaughter Heavenly Monument

  "Get out!" After saying these three words, Li Hong closed his eyes again, and his body began to surge with waves of blood light.

  A bloody glow was constantly emanating from the Blood Slaughter Stele and quickly entered his body, causing his hair to sway back and forth in the wind.

  "Abominable!" The three-headed serpent creature bellowed and thrust its massive halberd into the ground with a loud thud.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The ground shook violently, and several trenches, tens of meters long and two meters deep, cracked open.

  The monks watching around changed their faces one by one, vigilantly staring at the three-headed snake-bodied monster in the distance.

  However, these three serpent-like creatures, although constantly roaring from a distance, seemed to dare not approach the Blood Slaughter Heavenly Monument beside Li Hong, and could only keep roaring incessantly. Several pairs of eyes were filled with raging flames, staring fixedly at Li Hong.

  Li Hong also didn't seem to plan on wasting any more words with this monster, standing beside the Blood Killing Heavenly Monument, continuously absorbing the blood-colored energy from the monument.

  Zhang Heng, who was in a stealthy state, slowly approached the Blood Killing Heavenly Monument and thought to himself, "If Li Hong can absorb the blood-colored energy from this monument, why can't I refine this 'Blood Killing Heavenly Monument' for myself?"

  As soon as this idea arose in his mind, Zhang Heng's heart began to itch, and he cautiously crept towards the Blood Killing Heavenly Monument.

  He found that there were also some monks around the monument, and their eyes towards Li Hong had expressions of jealousy, admiration, etc., but they did not dare to approach this Shentian Monument.

  There must be something fishy about this, Zhang Heng's heart became even more cautious, and he quickly arrived at a place several dozen meters away from the Blood Killing Heaven Monument in a stealthy state.

  It was at this moment that Zhang Heng felt the strangeness of the Blood Slaughter Heavenly Monument.

  A stirring aura emanated from the Blood Slaughter Heavenly Monument, and as soon as one drew near, countless violent emotions would surge in their heart.

  Fortunately, Zhang Heng's spiritual cultivation was relatively strong, and his mind was also very firm, so he was not easily affected by this restless energy.

  Thirty meters, twenty meters... a little closer, none of the other monks in the field noticed Zhang Heng's existence.

  Suddenly, when Zhang Heng approached the stone monument about ten meters away, he felt that the restless breath was increasing geometrically.

  For a moment, Zhang Heng's originally calm mood also became extremely violent, and a killing intent even arose in his mind, as if he wanted to rush out immediately.

  If he gets closer to the stele, Zhang Heng is likely to truly lose his sanity and become a killing demon controlled by slaughter.

  It's really scary! Zhang Heng didn't dare go any further and kept a distance of fifteen meters from the stone tablet.

  The other monks all kept a distance of thirty meters from the Bloodstone Monument, not daring to get any closer, but also unwilling to leave so easily. Each person maintained a certain distance between them, with a sense of vigilance towards one another.

  As Zhang Heng's gaze fell upon these seven or eight cultivators observing from a distance, he discovered that some of them also had a Blood Kill Mark on their foreheads. It was unclear whether they obtained it by killing people or slaying demonic beasts.

  In the distant roar of the three-headed serpent's body, Zhang Heng stood still for a while, his eyes began to scan the characters on the stone tablet again.

  Not long ago when he approached this stone monument, due to the influence of that restless energy, Zhang Heng did not dare to divert his attention to watch the words on this monument. Now he had come with interest.

  It's okay, the words on this stone tablet aren't some kind of ancient legacy script either, Zhang Heng can still understand them.

  "The first boundary of murder, emotional vendetta and profit, killing for a reason."

  "Killing in the second realm, blood washing the world, waves without surprise."

  "The third boundary of killing, all things can be killed, alone and proud under the heavens."

  "The Fourth Boundary of Murder,"

  The font was bold and powerful, even stirring up a surge of heroic passion in Zhang Heng's heart.

  In addition, in a corner of the stone monument are carved several words: "Blood Kill God Emperor".

  When he saw these few words, Zhang Heng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He never thought that these few words were actually left behind by the Blood Kill Emperor.

  The stele describes the four realms of killing, the first three are written very clearly, but the words describing the fourth realm seem to be blocked by some kind of power, making it feel both crystal clear and yet impossible to discern.

  It seems that the Blood Kill God Emperor has indeed killed people to the point of being at home, and has even summarized his own killing realm. Thinking back to when the Blood Kill God Emperor blood-washed the Eastern Cloud Cultivation Realm, how arrogant he was, I don't know if he maintained the calmness mentioned on the stone tablet at that time.

  Zhang Heng let out a faint sigh, it seemed that Wu Ling's analysis was wrong. A bloodthirsty person like this, how could he be a far-sighted and wise man?

  Just as Zhang Heng was deep in thought, the three-headed serpent-like creature in the distance let out a series of roars and began to approach this way.

  The enormous body of the snake monster was shrouded in a thick fog of blood, and its massive serpent body rumbled towards this side with an unexpectedly fast speed.

  Could it be that he couldn't bear it any longer and was going to collect the stone tablet near Li Hong's place?

  But the snake monster's next action made Zhang Heng understand its intention.

  These three serpent-like creatures weren't going to collect the stele in front of Li Hong, but instead their target was those cultivators who were watching from a distance?

  In an instant, under the leadership of these three serpent-bodied monsters, the blood-colored serpent monsters and some other demon beasts transformed into a "demon beast army", surging forward like a flood towards the monks who were watching from the side.

  All along the way, dust flew about, and the ground for several miles around rumbled with a deafening roar, like thunder.

  Those monks' faces changed greatly, but as elites of the same rank, they reacted instantly and continuously used various methods to escape, one by one more cunning than a fox, making it difficult for the three-headed snake-bodied monster to catch up.

  "Detestable humans!" The three-headed serpent-like creature gazed at the human monks who were running even faster than rabbits, letting out only incessant roars but was helpless against them.

  In terms of strength, these three-headed snake-bodied monsters are probably at the top of the third level, equivalent to a human cultivator who has completed the Great Circle of Foundation Establishment. However, judging from the special aura emanating from this monster's body, it is clearly not just a simple third-level demon beast. In terms of combat power, it can probably rival that of a Cultivator in the Core Formation stage.

  However, in terms of speed, this snake monster is not very good and does not have the ability to fly.

  Although the demon beast has an unparalleled physical body, it still has other defects, and there are some weaknesses in its physical body.

  Zhang Heng, who was cultivating the Perverted Art, was far stronger than the demon beast in this regard. His physical body had almost no flaws, and his speed and attack power were also extremely strong.

  Concealing his figure, Zhang Heng discovered that the demonic beasts didn't dare to approach the stone stele, with even the closest ones keeping a distance of thirty meters from it.

  After chasing for half a day and returning without success, the strange snake ordered the vast "demon beast army" to surround the entire stone monument, but did not dare to get too close to the Blood Slaughter Stone Monument.

  Looking around at the densely packed demonic beasts, Zhang Heng was suddenly stunned. He had cleverly hidden near this stone monument, and in his heart he still looked down on those cultivators who were being chased and running wildly, but now it seemed that he had inadvertently put himself in a worse situation.

  It's okay, these demon beasts and Zhang Heng are still dozens of meters apart, and they can't see Zhang Heng who is in a hidden state.

  However, facing the massive army of demonic beasts around him, especially those dull gray eyes, Zhang Heng felt a sense of pressure and his body also broke out in cold sweat.

  If they were really seen through by these monsters, then there would only be a bloody road out of the sky.

  Zhang Heng took a look around the surrounding space, fortunately, these demon beasts basically do not have the ability to fly, if they really want to escape, there is still a great chance.

  After a while, the monks who had run away in the distance returned again, sizing up from afar the army of demon beasts led by the three-headed snake demon, seemingly still having some unwillingness in their hearts.

  "They are indeed elites, and their perseverance is admirable; their spirit is also worthy of respect."

  Zhang Heng secretly despised those monks who had slipped back again.

  "Detestable, greedy humans." The three-headed serpent creature roared again, its eyes icy cold and filled with a deep-seated hatred.

  Rumble...

  For a time, the demon beast army led by the three-headed snake monster stirred up waves of dust on the slightly trembling ground and chased after those cultivators.

  Before long, those monks were again thrown into disarray and the demon beast legion returned without success.

  Then those monks ran back and stared from a distance.

  "Roar!" The three-headed serpent's body was enveloped in a swirling vortex of blood.

  "Rumble, rumble......" He chased after again.

  Zhang Heng stared blankly at this scene, and suddenly thought of a certain scene in the virtual online game.

  A nearly forgotten term suddenly came to Zhang Heng's mind.

  This term is quite popular in online games and everyone calls it - "lure".
