Tempered Immortal

Chapter 85: Blood Demon and Silver Swordfish

Looking at the black cliff in front of him, Lin Xuan took a deep breath, and from the memory of the Spirit Flame Sect disciple, he learned that this cliff was very dangerous.

However, what type of danger or from where it comes from, he didn’t know, he assumed that it’s a very strong Spirit Beast, but his information was lacking. The man just heard some rumors by listening to his sect’s Elders, but about the specific situation, he was unclear.

This made Lin Xuan somewhat annoyed as he quietly observed the cliff. However, from the surface, there is nothing wrong with it. Except for the color of the stone, it seemed like there was no danger hidden inside.

However, Lin Xuan didn’t think that the information was wrong, even if the disciple didn’t mention the danger in his memory, he’d still be careful because places, where the treasures of Heaven and Earth grew, are usually guarded by Spirit Beasts.

The Immortal path is taken step by step. Aside from cultivating behind closed doors, cultivators also need to take risks. It’s been the same for tens of thousands of years, Lin Xuan does not want to be one of them because of their carelessness and self-cultivation.

Looking under the cliff, there is nothing wrong with it. There was a narrow road leading forward. Lin Xuan’s face revealed solemnity, and his heart moved, a pale blue halo layer enveloped his body, Lin Xuan opened his spirit shield. This is not the time to save Spiritual Qi.

Then, he took two talismans from his arms and held them with his left and right hands, ready to face any sudden danger.

After doing all this, Lin Xuan walked cautiously along the path, Lin Xuan walked very slowly, and he spread his Spiritual Sense as much as possible, so that danger could be discovered early.

After half an hour, Lin Xuan stopped and quietly observed. On the road ahead, a wide river suddenly appeared, the river was flowing very rapidly, it looked like it was boiling, and was strangely churning.

Above the river, there was a huge bloody red mist.

Several birds passed by, and when one crashed into the blood-red mist, the sound of a shriek was heard. After a while, the bird’s bones fell from the sky, its flesh and blood were sucked dry.

“Blood Demon Spirit Beast!”

A noun appeared in Lin Xuan’s mind. He had seen an introduction in the book “Record of Strange Spirit Beasts”:

Blood Demon, a Top Grade First Level Spirit Beast, likes to eat live flesh and blood, can turn its body into mist, it’s one of the most difficult First Level Spirit Beasts to deal with.

If possible, Lin Xuan did not want to cross paths with it, but looking at it, let Lin Xuan’s face become increasingly gloomy.

Flop.

A small fish jumps out of the water. Although it was far apart, Lin Xuan naturally saw it with his Spiritual Sense. It was a silvery fish with finger length and width. At first glance, it is no different from ordinary fish. However, when you carefully look at it, you can find that its eyes stick out with a bloody red glow and very sharp teeth.

Silver Swordfish!

Lin Xuan breathed, even though the level of this Spirit Beast was not high, only in the first level, but they liked to live in groups.

schools of silver swordfish number in the tens of thousands, they’re very fierce and not afraid to die. Even if it’s a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. they could only run away.

Standing by the river, Lin Xuan was silent, and the road ahead had been blocked, no matter whether by crossing the river or flying using a Spirit Tool, he would have to face a powerful enemy.

Fortunately, Silver swordfish can’t go ashore,  Blood Demons are known for their laziness, as long as it doesn’t move, there’s no need to worry about being actively attacked.

Hesitating for a moment, Lin Xuan suddenly saw some movement, he took a deep breath, it quickly approached him, was that a cultivator from Spirit Flame Sect?

There was still time to back out, but after all, Lin Xuan would not let go of the opportunity to achieve Foundation Establishment. His eyes emitted a decisive glow, he can only try this method.

Putting his hand on his arm and removing a small black scorpion. The scorpion is only the size of a palm. However, when taken out, it issued a strong, vengeful yin, full of resentment which creeped out people.

“Hundred Soul Streamer!”

This object was the trophy that Lin Xuan got from Ye Tian, ​​a Demonic Spirit Tool of the soul element, although its sacrificial refining isn’t complete, it’s still very powerful.

Lin Xuan circulated his Spiritual Qi, gently waving the Spirit Tool, suffocating sounds surrounded by faint outlines of ghosts in tears, countless black ghosts emerged from the Hundred Soul Streamer, spinning and wrapping Lin Xuan’s body in layers.

In the fog of ghosts, Lin Xuan’s expression was dignified, and he muttered some incantations. According to the operation of Spiritual Qi written in the Demonic Art, he continues to inject his Spiritual Qi into the Spirit Tool.

The sound of ghosts wailing became louder, and several malicious ghosts ran out. Their fingers were like hooks, their eyes were red, and they kept screaming.

They are the souls of those who were sealed into the Spirit Tool. Lin Xuan directed them around his body, and then carefully controlled the ghosts, with a malicious light they flew into the midst of blood that was floating in the air.

It was also a coincidence that another eagle passed by, a mist of blood rolled over, condensing into countless red threads and piercing the body of the eagle, it immediately sucked its flesh and blood, leaving only bones to fall from the sky. However, from Lin Xuan’s simultaneous entry, the blood mist didn’t respond at all.

It seemed like he won his gamble  Lin Xuan sighed, according to the “Record of Strange Spirit Beasts”, the Blood Demon was the most difficult first-level Spirit Beast to deal with, but it also had a weakness.

It has no eyes, but its sense of smell is very sensitive. Once it discovers that prey has entered the blood mist, it will immediately attack.

Blood Demons only eat living things, but won’t be attracted to dead corpses. According to this, Lin Xuan thought of using the Hundred Souls Streamer to cross the river.

By using the demonic fog, earth ghosts, and things like that to cover up the lifeforce that comes out of him, cheating the Blood Demon which has no eyes, and letting it think that he’s not a living person, pretending to be a ghost is quite a useful thing to do when dealing with these types of Spirit Beasts.

Although it’s very practical, with the many Spirit Tools in his body, he should be able to defeat this monster, but in this dangerous place, it is always beneficial to save your Spiritual Qi, let alone through his Spiritual Sense, Lin Xuan sensed that other people were coming to this place, which made it even more dangerous to waste time.
