Chapter 80: Intimidation

  Under Li Hong's gaze that seemed to look at him like an idiot, Zhang Heng stretched out his own hand towards the semi-transparent blood-colored sword shadow.

  Without any spiritual energy supporting him, Zhang Heng simply stretched out his hand and grabbed at one of the semi-transparent blood-colored sword shadows.

  "Zhi——" Zhang Heng's left hand grasped the first blood-colored sword shadow, feeling like he had grasped a mud eel, which made Zhang Heng quite surprised.

  With a ruthless pinch of his hand, the blood-colored sword shadow disappeared in front of Zhang Heng.

  At the same time, Zhang Heng's other hand also grasped the second blood-colored sword shadow, and solved it in the same way.

  As for the third blood-colored sword shadow, it was slashing towards Zhang Heng's head, and Zhang Heng couldn't get out a third hand.

  With a single move, Zhang Heng resolutely swallowed the blood-colored sword shadow into his belly, and in an instant, a surge of Lian Yu Ling Qi burst out from within his body, extinguishing the blood-colored sword shadow.

  After doing all this, Zhang Heng clapped his hands and stared at Li Hong, who was standing not far away, looking like a wooden chicken.

  Hehe, Zhang Heng smiled and glanced at Li Hong, his face relaxed as he said: "Thanks for the kind intention, this thing tastes good, can I have some more?"

  "Who are you?" Li Hong stared at Zhang Heng in shock, thinking to himself that this guy was probably a demonic beast. But even demonic beasts of the same rank didn't have such powerful physiques.

  "Your defensive power is indeed good," Li Hong quickly regained his composure, "but don't think that being able to block my attack once is anything impressive. The sword just now only used a few successful forces. If I were to use this Blood Shadow Phantom Sword to attack, even an upper-grade spiritual artifact would be easily cut in two."

  Zhang Heng smiled indifferently, "Brother is truly lucky to have obtained a part of the Blood Kill Emperor's inheritance, it's really something to be congratulated!"

  Li Hong's eyebrow twitched, and he said in a cold voice: "Tang Shidi, cut the nonsense. Hand over the Blood Killing Heaven Monument!"

  "Take it!" Zhang Heng's fingers snapped out in rapid succession, sending several silver needles as thin as embroidery needles shooting towards Li Hong.

  Li Hong didn't even use the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword in his hand, and had a taste of competing with Zhang Heng. With a light wave of his palm, a blood-colored light screen appeared in front of him.

  "Hiss" like a piercing through leather, the silver awn passed through the blood-colored light curtain and went straight to Li Hong without any reduction in momentum.

  Li Hong's expression changed slightly, and a dazzling blood light burst out from his hand, drawing streaks of bloody shadows in the air, wrapping up all the silver awns!

  In an instant, those silver edges were engulfed by a sea of blood light.

  But unexpectedly, the silver awn struggled in the blood light for a moment before gradually disappearing, and the blood light in his hand was only left with half of it.

  How terrifying! The opponent's technique seems to be able to restrain the Blood Demon Path? Li Hong's expression became even more solemn.

  He guessed correctly, Zhang Heng's kung fu can indeed restrain the Blood Demon Way, but what he didn't know was that Zhang Heng's kung fu wasn't just restraining his Blood Demon Way, it was actually capable of restraining all kung fu under heaven!

  Zhang Heng, standing at a distance, saw Li Hong catch his attack and didn't feel very surprised.

  Wanting to annihilate this child in a short period of time, unless he could use his other trump card, Zhang Heng did not want to expose too much of his strength before entering the temple.

  Zhang Heng's current spiritual awareness can observe objects within a radius of 200 meters, but cultivators far away can see the battle here through their divine eyes, so don't hold any lucky psychology.

  He smiled at Li Hong again, and Zhang Heng once more entered stealth mode, his figure disappearing into thin air.

  This time, Li Hong didn't stop Zhang Heng either, watching a blurry figure gradually disappear from his line of sight.

  Muttering a few words to himself, Li Hong also left this place.

  After advancing forward for more than a dozen miles, he finally left the range of the Blood Sacrifice River, and Zhang Heng let out a slight sigh in his heart.

  Although he had obtained the Blood Killing Heaven Monument and achieved his expected goal, Zhang Heng still felt a twinge of guilt in his heart for that dead Huatian Snake Dragon King.

  This reminded Zhang Heng of the promise he had made earlier in Dugu Sky City, where he had also sworn an oath with his Heart Demon and obtained a rare Battle Formation Plate from Old Man Guo and his grandson, as well as a disciple who was a waste spirit root.

  Was he really such an untrustworthy person? Zhang Heng sneered at himself.

  Deception and cheating in the cultivation world were normal things, but Zhang Heng's inner self did not allow himself to be so shameless.

  I am from Earth and have crossed over, while following the rules of this world's game, I also want to keep some of my own principles.

  May there still be a glimmer of clarity in this world where the strong prey on the weak and everyone is out for themselves, at the very least, may the last shred of conscience deep within not be extinguished.

  Otherwise, there would be no Zhang Heng in this world anymore, only a "foreigner" with the memories of an Earth otaku.

  Taking a deep breath, Zhang Heng gathered his complicated emotions within himself.

  Although Zhang Heng would not be afraid of heart demons on the distant path of cultivation, he also couldn't do without cultivating his heart.

  Anyone who stays in such a cruel world for several hundred years will undergo great changes in their mentality.

  After leaving the Blood Sacrifice River, in front of us is a vast grassland, on which we can see some footprints of demonic beasts.

  Looking further into the distance, you will find that at the end of the plain there is still a continuous range of high snow-capped mountains.

  Perhaps after passing through those mountains, he can reach the center of the temple.

  He walked forward for another ten or so miles, and along the way he encountered several monks, but due to Zhang Heng's concealment, they did not discover his presence.

  At this moment, Zhang Heng discovered a dozen or so purple-robed men gathering together not far away.

  Looking at their attire, these people were actually monks from the Duguang Fortress, and there were even over a dozen of them gathered together. Zhang Heng also discovered Du Peng's presence among the crowd.

  It seems that these people are still led by Du Peng, and Zhang Heng did not see the mysterious woman wearing a veil among them.

  Moreover, Zhang Heng still remembered that the leader of Dugu Fort was that calm and composed young man with a horizontal eyebrow.

  Du Peng stood among this group of purple-robed people, his expression cold and detached, as he gave orders to these cultivators.

  Zhang Heng also found five blood-kill marks on Du Peng's forehead.

  Has this guy already killed five demon beasts or cultivators?

  Then Zhang Heng saw several corpses of demonic beasts nearby.

  It's indeed much easier to kill some ordinary demonic beasts than those cultivators, after all the cultivators who entered this cave are all elites of the same level, whether it's their strength or mentality, they're not ordinary.

  "I clearly feel that there is one of our own nearby, and it's still very close to us?" Du Peng held a token in his hand, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  Hearing this, Zhang Heng's heart moved involuntarily, thinking of the token that Ouyang Tiande had given him earlier.

  "In addition, there is also a token here, you must keep it well. After entering the cave mansion, you can gather with the monks of Dutiange by virtue of this token. Within a radius of ten miles, people holding this token will have some resonance."

  Ouyang Tiande's words Zhang Heng still remembered.

  Should I gather with them here? Such a thought arose in Zhang Heng's mind.

  After a moment's thought, Zhang Heng still decided to act alone first.

  Although it has not yet entered the Blood Killing Temple, there are also many good things outside this cave.

  Li Hong previously obtained the Blood Shadow Phantom Sword, which was once used by the young Blood Kill Emperor, and with the help of the Blood Puppet, it was infused with a powerful spirit.

  To a certain extent, Li Hong can be said to have obtained the thin inheritance of the Blood Kill Emperor. It is unknown whether this child will have any advantages after entering the Blood Kill Temple.

  "Du Shixiong, we discovered a small mortal settlement ten miles away."

  A purple-robed man rushed over from a distance and bowed respectfully to Du Peng.

  "Settlement?" Du Peng's face showed a strange expression, and he asked: "Is there anyone in that settlement?"

  "There are, but they're all ordinary people."

  "There might be some mystery inside, let's go and take a look." Du Peng hesitated for a moment before giving the order.

  Zhang Heng, who was watching from the side, also felt a few threads of curiosity. In the Blood Kill Cave Mansion, there were actually human markets? Did the Blood Kill God Emperor not care about the cultivators entering the cave mansion killing ordinary people in the settlements?

  The Blood God Emperor left a market here, what is the meaning of this?
