Black Blood!

"What Skin-Peeling Demon? We came here tracking a Blood Demon. The Blood Demon's aura is in the house, that's why we came in."

"I see... Then how did you determine it was a Blood Demon?"

"That's simple?"

Chen Luo immediately took out an ancient-looking compass. He bit his finger and dripped a drop of fresh blood onto it.

The blood was absorbed by the compass.

"Buzz."

The compass emitted a brilliant light.

Within the light, there was a faint bloody aura pointing towards the house.

Chen Luo re-entered the house.

Instantly, a large, bloody phantom appeared within the compass.

"Look, a Blood Demon did indeed come here before, and stayed in this room for quite some time," Chen Luo said, pointing at the bloody phantom.

"Could it be that the entire Lei family was killed by a Blood Demon? Young Master Ji, didn't you say it was a Skin-Peeling Demon that killed the entire Lei family?" Lei Yu asked, frowning.

"Buzz."

Before Ji Qing could answer, the compass in Chen Luo's hand once again emitted a brilliant light.

This time, next to the bloody phantom, a blurry phantom appeared.

Seeing this, Chen Luo was greatly surprised.

"Huh? There's a second phantom, which means there might have been a second demon in this room. Could it be the Skin-Peeling Demon you mentioned?"

A sharp glint flashed in Ji Qing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Chen Luo, you're a demon slayer. Don't you know about Skin-Peeling Demons?"

"My Chen family has been demon slayers for generations. There's no demon in this world that my Chen family doesn't know. However, my skills are not refined, and I don't understand many demons very well. But are you sure it's called a Skin-Peeling Demon?"

"We're sure!" Ji Qing's tone was resolute.

The Demon Record certified it, how could they not be sure?

"Fortunately, I brought the Demon Identification Manual. Let me look it up first."

Chen Luo immediately took out a mysterious ancient book from his bag. The four characters "Demon Identification Manual" were written on it.

Chen Luo opened the Demon Identification Manual and carefully searched page by page.

Lei Yu and Ji Qing exchanged glances and couldn't help but shake their heads.

They could tell that Chen Luo truly had no experience in the martial world. He was clearly a novice.

"Found it!" Chen Luo suddenly exclaimed with excitement, saying loudly, "Skin-Peeling Demons excel at concealing their aura, can peel human skin to create clones, and are cunning by nature. Their true forms rarely appear in the world."

"Even you demon slayers can't find the true form of a Skin-Peeling Demon?" Ji Qing's heart sank.

Chen Luo rubbed the back of his head and said with a wry smile, "Most of the demons in the Demon Identification Manual have been dealt with or sealed by my Chen family. There are only a few demons that my Chen family could do nothing about. The Skin-Peeling Demon is one of them."

"However, although the true form of a Skin-Peeling Demon is hard to find, its clones are active in the world. And the strength of a Skin-Peeling Demon's clone is usually not that great. If you encounter one, it's not difficult to deal with."

Ji Qing fell silent. His understanding of Skin-Peeling Demons was even deeper than Chen Luo's, a demon slayer.

"It's not that the clones of Skin-Peeling Demons are not strong, but their strength depends on the strength of the person before they became a clone. The stronger the person was in life, the stronger the clone will be!" Ji Qing explained.

"This great hero isn't a demon slayer, yet he knows more about Skin-Peeling Demons. Have you had dealings with them?" Chen Luo asked.

"More than just dealings? My entire Ji family, as well as my entire Lei family, were all massacred by Skin-Peeling Demons! I don't care if it's a clone or the true form, I will make sure it dies!"

"Chen Luo, can you find the Skin-Peeling Demon?" Lei Yu asked, her killing intent surging.

"Well... I can find it. With a trace of demonic aura, a demon slayer can track it. But our main objective this time is to capture the Blood Demon. This Blood Demon is extraordinary and extremely dangerous. Ordinary martial artists are no match for it. If the Blood Demon is unleashed, it will truly endanger the world," Chen Luo explained.

Lei Yu was about to get angry. After finally finding a trace of the Skin-Peeling Demon, Chen Luo had to find it whether he wanted to or not!

But Ji Qing gently shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, since the auras of both the Blood Demon and the Skin-Peeling Demon have appeared in the Lei mansion, it means the Skin-Peeling Demon and the Blood Demon are likely together. The two demons joining forces probably means they have some scheme. You are currently tracking the Blood Demon, and we will follow along. Perhaps we can find the Skin-Peeling Demon as well!"

"Huh? That's a good idea... but Blood Demons are too dangerous. Even though you martial artists are skilled, it's still too risky for you to face a Blood Demon..."

Chen Luo said this with good intentions, fearing that chasing after the Blood Demon might end up harming Ji Qing and Miss Lei.

"Kid Chen, don't you forget who was spitting blood all over the ground just now?"

"This..."

Chen Luo was indeed a bit embarrassed.

He looked up again to steal a glance at Miss Lei, his feelings complicated.

Although he was new to the world, he was considered a top talent among the younger generation in the demon hunter family. Chen Luo believed his martial arts and magic were very strong when he snuck out to track the demon this time.

As it turned out, the first opponent he encountered was Miss Lei, and he wasn't a match for her even with both his martial arts and magic combined.

It was truly embarrassing.

"Miss Lei, Brother Ji, it's not that I'm looking down on your abilities; among martial artists, your strength is indeed considerable. But against a Blood Demon, you are absolutely no match. Blood Demons are immune to ordinary blades and weapons, possess immense strength, are unpredictable, and virtually immortal. Only the magic of us demon hunters can harm a Blood Demon,"

Chen Luo explained.

"Demon hunter magic? Can you teach us too? Even the simplest spells, if we master them, we can help you!"

Ji Qing's heart stirred, and he spoke.

"Right, right, just teach us the magic."

Although Lei Yu had commented on Chen Luo's average strength, she was very interested in his demon hunter magic.

"Magic..."

Chen Luo shook his head. "Even if I taught you, you wouldn't be able to learn it. The magic of us demon hunters can only be cast using demon hunter blood. Every time we cast a spell, we use our own blood as a medium."

"Without demon hunter blood, it's almost impossible to cast any magic. However, there are occasional individuals who might have demon hunter blood in their lineage, but the probability is extremely low."

"If you two don't believe me, please look at my and my sister's blood."

Chen Luo and Chen Lin each flicked a drop of blood.

"This blood... has a hint of green?"

Ji Qing and Lei Yu exchanged glances, both feeling very surprised.

"That's right, this is demon hunter blood! In fact, not every child in our clan is born with demon hunter blood; most people cannot develop it."

"You two can also look at your own blood. If it has even a slight unusual color, not just green, then it's highly likely to be demon hunter blood!"

Thus, Ji Qing and Lei Yu each squeezed out a drop of blood.

Lei Yu's blood was normal, just blood red, with no special characteristics.

However, Ji Qing's blood seemed a bit different.

"Your blood... why is there a trace of black mixed in?"

Lei Yu stared at Ji Qing's blood, her eyes gradually widening.
