In the void.

After elder Zhuo had run with his tail between his legs, Bloodbath shifted his cold and murderous gaze towards the lonesome Ling Chen.

He didn't say anything. He just stood there motionless with his large bloody red ax in his hand. His cold gaze was fixated on Ling Chen's body, carefully studying him from head to toe. His eyes were like that of an ancient desolate beast looking at its prey.

Meanwhile, the six red robe men stood behind him like six bloodthirsty red devils. Their bodies exuded a strong and cold murderous aura that made it clear to everyone that all of them had taken the lives of countless people. Their weapons were unsheathed. They were like leopards, ready to pounce and react to any danger.

Although they were few in number, the six of them gave the feeling of an invincible legion and had the momentum of a grand majestic devil army.

"So, you are the legendary little devil."

After a strange moment of silence, Bloodbath finally spoke. His voice was similar to that of a devil king with endless power and pressure.

Listening to Bloodbath, Ling Chen didn't deny nor confirm his claim. He was silently looking at the seven of them in the sky while remaining as calm and motionless as a mountain despite being in a disadvantageous situation. There was not the slightest fear across his face.

From the seven people, Bloodbath was the strongest. He was at the peak of the Martial venerable realm and his aura was even a bit stronger than elder Zhuo who he just fought.

Three of them were at the Martial Venerable realm middle stage and one was at the early stage of the Martial Venerable realm. As for the last two, they were the weakest among the group with a peak Martial Sovereign cultivation base.

In total, there were five Martial Venerable realm warriors and two peak Martial Sovereigns.

No wonder Elder Zhuo didn't dare to stay and ran with his tail between his legs!

"Are you gonna give up and come with me willingly or do you want me to drag you. Either way is fine with me." Coldly uttered Bloodbath.

His mission was to kill Ling Chen on sight, however, after witnessing the whole fight between Ling Chen and elder Zhuo, he has changed his mind.

Just now, Ling Chen was able to go toe to toe with elder Zhuo and even injured him despite being weaker than him. But this was not the reason for his astonishment.

He was shocked because of Ling Chen's heaven-defying self-recovery ability as well as his weird dark domain.

Unlike elder Zhuo that had awakened the Fire domain, Bloodbath had awakened the Darkness domain when he had broken through the Martial Sovereign realm.

Because of that, he could clearly tell that Ling Chen didn't awaken the Darkness domain as everyone believed.

When Ling Chen released his dark domain against elder Zhuo, he didn't draw the dark true qi in his surroundings. All of the dark energy came from within him which was something unheard of.

Furthermore, though they were both dark energy, they didn't look and feel the same. Ling Chen's dark energy was darker and corrosive.

Also, he could clearly tell that Ling Chen's dark energy was stronger and purer than his. At this moment, he didn't know how Ling Chen was able to create a fake dark domain without even getting the approval of the Heaven and Earth and even have the strength comparable to that of a real Martial Venerable realm warrior, however, he planned on finding out.

Aside from that, Ling Chen's heaven-defying self-recovery ability impressed him the most. From his countless years of roaming the Heaven Desolate Region and even the other two Regions, he had never seen or heard of medicinal pills or battle techniques that allowed one to instantly heal such a heavy injury in a blink of an eye.

As such, he concluded that these abilities didn't relate to any battle techniques at all but to Ling Chen's body.

His intuition told him that Ling Chen's body carried a heaven-defying secret and his intuition was rarely wrong.

At this moment, he didn't want to kill Ling Chen. He just wanted to capture him and experiment on his body, and who knows, he might even be his ticket in broken through the Martial Saint Realm.

He was well aware that unless he found some heaven-defying spiritual medicines, he would never be able to break through the Martial Saint Realm.

Martial Saint warriors were the true overlord of the Great Luo world and everyone else was beneath them. Throughout the whole Heaven Desolate Region, there were only two Human Martial Saints and this tells how hard it was for a person to break through that stage. Bloodbath's dream was to break through that stage one day.

He has been stuck in the peak of the Martial Venerable realm for a long time, and he had also spent most his time looking for a way to break through that shackle but to no avail, until now.

He was a hundred percent sure that the key to his breakthrough was in Ling Chen's body. As such, he would do whatever he takes to capture him.

"Giving up without a fight is not my style" Answered Ling Chen in cold tone after hearing Bloodbath.

Though the situation was very disadvantageous at the moment and seemed like there's no hope, that didn't mean he was just gonna give up.

Furthermore, If he wanted to escape, there's no way that they could stop him. Before he had left the Sect, his father has given him a teleportation scroll that could allow him to travel several hundred miles away in an instant. It was no exaggerating to say that this teleportation scroll was another life. However, Ling Chen didn't plan on using it at all.

After Bloodbath and his goons have caused his prey to escape, he was dead set on making them pay. Not to mention these people have been a pain in his ass for the past three months.

"Oh!!!, I guess you haven't understood your situation yet."

"7th Hall Master, 6th Hall Master, why don't you go and gently explained to this little brat the situation he's in." Bloodbath said with an evil smile on his face.

"Understood." Simultaneously answered the two Hall Masters.

The 7th and 6th hall masters were the weakest among the seven of them. They were the two peak Martial Sovereign warriors.

From Bloodbath's perspective, though Ling Chen had somehow healed his injuries, he had used a lot of his energy in the process. Not to mention he was also tired after the fight against elder Zhuo.

He could clearly tell that his power had weakened after the fight. As such, he chose to send two of his weakest subordinates to subdue him. It was also a way to humiliate him in the process.

Swoosh.

A stream of light flashed.

Two red robe men suddenly arrived opposite of Ling Chen.

Their eyes were filled with killing intent as they were coldly glancing up and down at Ling Chen who stood opposite them with his hands clasped behind his back.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen still had a calm look on his face, seemingly paying no attention to the two Martial Sovereigns before him.

"Are you just gonna stand there admiring my handsomeness or are you gonna attack me." Ling Chen said in a disinterested tone. It as though he was talking with two weaklings instead of two powerful warriors.

Feeling the cold and indifferent tone of Ling Chen's voice, and indescribable anger gushed up inside the two Martial Sovereign realm warriors.

Without saying anything, they pounced towards Ling Chen like two angry beasts with their long blades.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen still stood there motionless.

At the same time, he had a chilling and demonic smile on his face, the kind of smile that would make anyone felt their scalps turned numb once they saw it.

As the two red robe men's formidable attacks were about to land on Ling Chen's body, the demonic red magic rune within his right eye suddenly shone brightly.

His right eye flashed a crimson light like a flame from hell. It was like a bottomless freezing pond which gave off a chilling coldness.

Whoosh!!!

At the same time, two rays of sinister crimson lights coming from his right eye shot towards the two red robe men.

The instant the cold and red sinister lights made contact with the incoming two red robe men, their expressions simultaneously changed abruptly.

They could clearly feel an extremely terrifying unknown force or energy flowing within their bodies as their movements slowed down by thousands of times. It was as if their bodies were weighed a thousand tons.

They trembled as their eyes turned wide open in fright as their whole bodies seemed to freeze.

Before they could realize what was happening, Ling Chen's hands were already clutching their necks.

He was way too fast. Even Bloodbath and the others had a difficult time seeing him move. Before they knew it, he already had them raised into the air by the neck.

Chi!!

At the same time, Ling Chen's fingernails suddenly turned five inches long as they pierced through their necks.

In less than a second, a gush of pure energy and blood was transferred from Ling Chen's fingernails into his body. The bodies of the two Martial Sovereigns were being drained and depleted like a balloon at an astonishing speed.

Feeling the pure energy coming from his fingernails to his body, a light smiled curved into his lips.

His limbs and bones felt refreshed and relaxed as if streams of spirit spring water had flown through them.

The life force that he had consumed just now to heal himself was instantly replenished. This kind of refreshing feeling was something that only he knew.

In a flash, Ling Chen had completely drained the blood and life essence of the two warriors.

The abrupt change happened too quickly, rendering Bloodbath and his goons to be shocked.

Seeing the events that transpired right before their eyes, they felt a cold chill that reverberated throughout their bodies!

Plop! Plop!

"Thanks for the meal." Ling Chen said as he threw away the dried corpses of the two warriors like two bags of trash.
