Chapter 46 - 44 Blood Soul Lotus
Ye Chen appeared amidst Dark Peak Mountain, a figure of solitary elegance with his black hair cascading down, commanding attention with his exceptional and noticeable poise. He cast an icy, indifferent glance over the Demon Tiger nailed dead by a single spear and shook his head, disdainful: "Too weak."
This was a fact, yet it commanded respect from everyone in the Mercenary Group, for he was unquestionably a Super Expert. Even as a youth, he was excessively strong, skewering the Demon Tiger that had pushed them to the brink of life and death with a single thrust—his mighty strength was indubitable.
Wiping the bloodstains off his Long Spear, Ye Chen remained silent.
Today marked the eighth day since he left the Ye Family and also his eighth day within the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
He set off to the dangerous mountains famous throughout Xiafeng Country and even the neighboring nations for training as soon as he left Luofeng City, marching into the mountains alone and unceasingly.
True to its notorious reputation, the Demon Beast Mountain Range did not disappoint; on his very first day, Ye Chen encountered an attack from a Demon Beast.
It was a Red-haired Long-tusked Boar, as tall as a grown man and an Acquired Seventh Rank Demon Beast. Its physical strength was so formidable it could rival an Acquired Eighth Realm Cultivator—a ferocious beast that struck terror into the hearts of many hunters in normal days, causing a change of color when spoken of.
Typically, encountering such a Red-haired Long-tusked Boar upon entering the Demon Beast Mountain Range would be considered bad luck, for the beast’s thick hide and immense strength coupled with terrifying attack power made it easily enraged and hard to stop, leaving one with no choice but to flee.
But when confronted with the suddenly charging Red-haired Long-tusked Boar, Ye Chen merely threw a punch and sent the beast flying dozens of meters away. It crashed into a cliffside, dead upon impact, resolving the situation without suspense; by evening, it had become a delicious roasted meal for Ye Chen.
Not long after, in the span of just half a day, he was attacked by six Demon Beasts in succession. Luckily, Ye Chen’s strength was formidable enough to kill each one, whereas anyone else would have undoubtedly perished.
