Ye Hong was instantly furious.

How could he not know that someone was sneaking in?

I just didn't expect that the other party would be so bold and dare to take advantage of him while he was fighting fiercely with the demon wolf!

He immediately gave up on the demon wolf, and with a movement of his body, like an eagle fighting a rabbit, he struck Lu Chen on the back with a palm in the air!

This palm was filled with anger, and True Qi was condensed, enough to smash fine iron into pieces!

Lu Chen had already expected to be discovered. The moment Ye Hong's palm force reached his body, his body was like smoke, and he suddenly jumped out to the side and forward, narrowly avoiding the core of the palm wind.

But the aftermath of the Xiantian strong man's palm force still hit his shoulder.

"Poof!"

Lu Chen My throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. I felt half of my body was numb, and my body Qi and Blood was churning endlessly.

He endured the severe pain, and with the impact, his speed became even faster, shooting into the hole in the stone house like an arrow from a string.

"Where to escape!" Ye Hong roared, about to give chase.

"Ho--!"

However, the other end Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf pounced on it again!

Although its intelligence is not high, its beastly instinct makes it regard the Ye Hong that attacks it as its primary enemy.

The crazy attack was like a gust of wind and rain, entangling Ye Hong.

"Get away!" Ye Hong was shocked and angry, and had to turn around to deal with the demon wolf's attack. For a moment, he was confused by this crazy beast.

Lu Chen rushed into the stone house. In front of him was a downward staircase. The strong and suffocating smell of Yao Qi and blood hit his face. He ignored the injury on his shoulder and rushed down quickly.

At the end of the stairs, there is a huge underground space, which is several times wider than the warehouse on the ground.

The lights here are bright, and the walls are carved with complex runes, but many places are dim and even have cracks. It is obvious that the demon wolf's rampage just now destroyed the formation here.

In the center of the space is a huge iron cage, which is now twisted and deformed, and the cage door is open.

Broken steel chains engraved with runes are scattered on the ground. In the corner, there are also some piles...

Creepy things - mutilated, suspected human skeletons, and some containers stained with dark red stains.

"Blood Food..." Lu Chen's heart sank. Ye Family is actually feeding this monster with living people!

His eyes quickly scanned the entire dungeon. Apart from the central cage, there were several smaller cells nearby. There was nothing in them, but the residual aura indicated that other things had been held here.

Near the inner wall, there is a stone table with some files and utensils scattered on it.

Time is running out! Lu Chen endured the discomfort, rushed to the stone table, and quickly looked through it.

Most of the files record observation data, feeding records and formation maintenance logs about Blood Eye.

In the feeding records, Blood Food's origins are often represented by code names, which makes Lu Chen feel angry.

Soon, he found a notebook with a special black cover.

After opening it, what was recorded inside was a strange method of drawing runes and a fragment of a secret technique called Blood Source Conversion!

The handwriting in the note is scrawled and frantic, full of some kind of religious fanaticism, and a name is mentioned many times at the end--Blood Demon True Lord!

"Blood Demon Cult!" Lu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.

Sure enough, it has something to do with this cult!

Ye Family is not only colluding with Ghostface Organization, they are deeply involved in Blood Demon Cult's conspiracy!

This Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf is probably the product of some kind of experiment with Blood Demon Cult!

He quickly stuffed this most important notebook into his arms and glanced at the other items on the stone table.

A dark red metal piece half the size of a palm caught his attention. The metal piece was cold to the touch and had naturally formed vein-like patterns on it, which vaguely resonated with the aura of Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf.

"Extinction Iron?" He remembered the foreshadowing mentioned in the outline and put it away without hesitation.

At this moment, the ground shook violently, and an angry roar from Ye Hong and an even crazier roar from the demon wolf came from above. It was obvious that the battle outside had entered a fever pitch.

Can't stay any longer!

Lu Chen turned around and rushed towards the exit. However, a gray shadow blocked the entrance to the stairs like a ghost. It was Ye Hong!

His clothes were a little messy, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost solidified.

As for the Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf, he was temporarily forced back into a corner by some kind of Secret Method. Although he still bared his teeth and roared, he was unable to pounce again for the moment.

"You little bastard, hand over your things and I can make your death easier!"

Ye Hong stared hard at Lu Chen, especially the slightly bulging part in his arms. Xiantian's pressure shrouded him like a mountain in half a step.

Lu Chen felt like his breath was suffocating, and the air around him seemed to have become thicker.

He took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't do anything good today.

There are Shadow Guards and Qi-Breaking Crossbow outside. The only way to survive is to repel or even... kill the strong Xiantian in front of him with half a step!

"Want it? Come and get it yourself!" Lu Chen's eyes were cold, and he ran Cultivation Method with all his strength. The thick black turtle True Intention came out of the body, forming a light defensive air shield on the body surface. At the same time, <Wind Thunder Spell-Breaking Talisman>'s True Qi was galloping in the meridians, ready to go.

"I don't know whether to live or die!" Ye Hong laughed ferociously, and with a movement of his body, as fast as lightning, he pointed his finger at the center of Lu Chen's eyebrows!

The finger wind is sharp and contains a cold penetrating power. It is his famous stunt-Profound Yin Finger!

Faced with this fatal blow, Lu Chen did not dare to have any reservations.

"Black Tortoise Suppresses the Sea!"

He shouted low and thrust forward with both palms. The majestic and thick True Qi was like a raging ocean tide, and with the calm mood of a black turtle suppressing the four poles, he faced the finger wind coming from that point. This is currently his strongest defensive martial skill.

Bang!

The fingers and palms met, making a muffled sound.

Lu Chen only felt a cold and sharp force penetrate his palm like a poisonous snake, instantly breaking through the defensive air shield on his body and directly invading his meridians!

He groaned, staggered back, and a stream of blood spilled out of the corner of his mouth again. His entire arm was covered with a light layer of frost and was not functioning properly.

Half-step Xiantian, True Qi's quality and understanding of martial arts are far from comparable to those of Meridian Opening in the mid-level!

"You can be proud of yourself if you can defeat me with one finger!" Ye Hong gained the upper hand and was unyielding, following him like a shadow, and slapped Lu Chen's chest with another palm. The wind howled with the palm, faintly carrying the sound of a ghost crying.

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, <Shadow Demon Trace Steps> exerted himself to the extreme, his figure continuously swayed from square to inch, bringing up afterimages, narrowly avoiding the vital point, but the edge of the palm wind still hit his ribs.

Click!

There was a clear sound of bone cracking, Lu Chen's face turned pale, and severe pain was felt.

You can't fight hard! Neither can you speed! The level gap is too big!

His mind raced, and his eyes glanced at Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf, who was about to move in the corner, and an adventurous plan instantly took shape.

Before Ye Hong's next wave of attacks arrived, Lu Chen suddenly took out the black notebook in his arms, trying to destroy it. At the same time, his steps changed and he no longer retreated, but rushed towards the corner where Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf was forced to retreat!

"How dare you!" Ye Hong was really shocked. The importance of that notebook was obviously extremely high.

He was afraid that Lu Chen would jump over the wall and destroy his notes, so he couldn't help but slow down his offensive and turned sharply to intercept.

That's it now!

The moment Lu Chen approached Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf, he flicked the notebook in the direction of Ye Hong. At the same time, he lifted up a trace of thunder True Intention contained in <Wind Thunder Spell-Breaking Talisman>, condensed it on his fingertips, turned into a subtle arc, and accurately shot at the already dim core node of the formation that restrained the demon wolf!

He had been observing for a long time and found that Ye Hong used a special method to temporarily activate the trapping formation in the corner, thus limiting the demon wolf's movements.

The formation was already damaged, and his lightning arc, which contained spell-breaking properties, became the straw that broke the camel's back!
