154: C154 Blood Worm

C154 Blood Worm

Aoao …

With a deep roar, a snake-like demon beast drilled out of the ground.

However, it was not a snake, because it did not have a head. Its entire body was blood-red, and it was almost ten meters long. Its body was around the size of a bowl.

At the front of the maw was a huge mouthpart, from which came the roar.

"What is this?" Yun Lan was shocked by this sudden scene. She had been born in a famous clan, where had she seen such a demonic beast before?

Judging from the aura, he should be at the pinnacle of the Qi Resisting Realm, and his aura should be unstable. He should have just broken through not too long ago.

"This is the Rank 4 Demonic Beast, Blood Vermillion Bird. It probably relies on a stalk of Blood Lingzhi to cultivate with. Once it breaks through to the Qi Resisting Realm, it will be able to swallow the Blood Lingzhi and then enter the Rank 5 Demonic Beast."

Ling Tianyu had long since held the Lunar Shadow Sword and protected the Blood Lingzhi.

The blood worm was recorded in the Primordial Demon Pill Scripture. This kind of demonic beast wasn't powerful, but at a critical moment, its mouthpart could spit out a viscous liquid that was extremely corrosive. If a martial artist accidentally touched it, they would immediately turn into a pile of white bones.

At this moment, the blood worm stared fixedly at the Blood Lingzhi. It had just broken through to the peak of the Fourth Order, and was only waiting for its cultivation realm to stabilize slightly before it was prepared to swallow the Blood Lingzhi and enter the Fifth Order.

Aooo!

The blood worm rolled its small eyes and then suddenly squirmed its long body as it pounced towards Ling Tianyu.

It knew that if it wanted to devour the Blood Lingzhi, it had to get rid of these two damnable humans. However, it was not in a hurry because Ling Tianyu and Yun Lan were extremely weak in its eyes.

"Lan, move to the side first."

Ling Tianyu sent Yun Lan flying. Then, he pulled the longsword in his hand and charged at the blood worm.

Once the sword was drawn, it would become one!

Ling Tianyu's sword intent combined with his blurred afterimages as he thrust out a powerful sword attack.

Suddenly, a wave of sword light was shot toward the blood worm's body.

Just as the Lunar Shadow Sword was about to pierce into the blood worm's body, its body was suddenly covered in silver scales.

Ding...

The long sword pierced forward, producing a spark. It did not enter even a tiny bit. Instead, the powerful force sent the blood worm flying.

"Holy sh * t, his defense is that strong?"

Ling Tianyu's heart froze. The blood worm's defense was extremely high due to the scales on its body. It was almost invulnerable to swords and spears, unless the other party's cultivation realm was higher than his.

However, Ling Tianyu could be considered an outsider. Although his cultivation was only at the Early Qi Resisting Realm, his true strength was comparable to a true realm martial artist.

Although the Lunar Shadow Sword did not injure the blood worm, the force that was transmitted through the tip of the sword was enough to cause it pain all over its body.

Roar …

The blood worm opened its mouth and cried out. Its huge body swept across the area, breaking a few small trees. The surrounding leaves were also swept up into the air like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

After venting for a moment, the blood worm pounced towards Ling Tianyu once more.

"Tianyu, be careful." Yun Lan reminded.

Even though he knew that Ling Tianyu was formidable, he wasn't even able to injure that fellow in a single blow. This caused him to worry.

"Don't worry."

Ling Tianyu nodded at her before dashing out once more. Previously, he had only sent out probing attacks. If he were to release sword qi, he should be able to kill this blood worm.

Sword qi crisscrossed everywhere!

Ling Tianyu's figure flashed, and the Lunar Shadow Sword in his hand rotated. The three sword Qis quickly dispersed, shooting towards the blood worm.

Ding ding ding ding …

Sparks flew from the body of the blood worm, but it was still not pierced by the sword qi as Ling Tianyu had expected. It only left a shallow bloody mark on his body.

Aoao … Roar!

The blood worm was injured by the sword qi, and its body tumbled as it charged towards Ling Tianyu.

Bang!

Ling Tianyu's Lunar Shadow Sword blocked it and was sent flying along with him.

Along the way, he somersaulted backwards and landed more than a dozen meters away.

"This guy's defensive power is really astonishing."

Ling Tianyu sighed in admiration. He didn't expect that even after sending out the three sword Qis, it still wasn't able to inflict any serious damage to it.

Ling Tianyu harnessed his zhenqi and stepped on his Phantom Shadow to attack the blood worm once more.

The battle continued. Although the blood worm's defenses were high, its attacks were too weak. Coupled with Ling Tianyu's extremely fast speed, the blood worm was being suppressed at every turn.

The sword beams swept out.

The wind and thunder surged.

While executing his sword moves, Ling Tianyu consumed a Energy Recovery Pill. In the end, he even executed four sword Qis.

At first, the blood worm was evenly matched, but later on, its entire body was covered in bloody wounds.

The blood worm was infuriated. It opened its mouth and spat out a thick liquid at Ling Tianyu.

"Chi!"

The liquid spurted out and Ling Tianyu dodged rapidly. The liquid fell to the ground and corroded everything around him, leaving behind a pile of dirt.

"What a strong corrosive ability. Luckily, I have understood the blood worm from the Primordius Pill Formula." Ling Tianyu still had lingering fear in his heart. He didn't dare to rashly move forward.

Since the blood worm's attack failed, it did not continue to tangle with it. Instead, it opened its mouth and rushed towards the Blood Lingzhi.

"Damn, this guy knows to attack from the east?"

Ling Tianyu silently cursed. It was clear that the target of the blood worm wasn't him, but the Blood Lingzhi.

"Bastard, stop for this young master!"

The Blood Lingzhi was a precious item. Now that they'd finally encountered it, how could they allow the blood worm to eat it?

Ling Tianyu advanced swiftly and unleashed his strongest attack, bringing the four swords of sword qi together!

However, the blood worm's speed was extremely fast. Even if he was able to kill the blood worm in time, the Blood Lingzhi would surely be swallowed by it.

At this moment, Yun Lan, who was at the side, quickly rushed over and shouted, "Frost Sword Technique!"2

"Lan, don't! Get out of the way!"

Ling Tianyu shouted loudly. He never thought that the clouds would rush towards him. The blood worm was a Demonic Beast at the peak of Rank 4, comparable to a Peak Qi Manipulation Realm martial artist. If Yun Lan were to be hit by it, she would definitely be severely injured even if she did not die.

However, Yun Lan's expression was grim. His longsword had already unleashed a powerful frost aura as countless sword rays enveloped the blood worm.

The surrounding air was also affected, and the blood worm's movements clearly slowed down by a bit.

However, it only slowed down a bit. The blood worm immediately moved to sweep through it.

Bang!

The tail swept towards Yun Lan, blowing her away along with her sword.

Puff …

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from the mouth of the tree as Yun Lan fell onto the ground, unconscious.

"Lan!"

Ling Tianyu roared in rage. The speed at which he stabbed at the blood worm increased by a few points. Adding on the fact that the blood worm was affected by the Misty Cloud Cold Sword Art, he struck out once more at Yun Lan.

As a result, he was utterly unable to consume the Blood Lingzhi in time and was pierced by Ling Tianyu's sword.

Puff!

This time, the Lunar Shadow Sword did not stop at all, and directly penetrated through the blood worm's seven inches area.

The powerful sword Qis began to destroy the blood worm's meridians. After a short while, the blood worm struggled a few times before losing its life force.

Ling Tianyu hurriedly withdrew the Lunar Shadow Sword and withdrew the Blood Lingzhi into the space within his jade pendant before flying towards Yun Lan.

He lifted up the cloud mist and entered the space within the jade pendant.

After placing Yun Lan on the bed in the wooden cabin, Ling Tianyu immediately checked Yun Lan's injuries. Fortunately, she had only fainted from the concussion; she only needed to consume a Rank 4 Blood Replenishing Pill.

In less than an hour, Yun Lan woke up.

"Cough cough. Tianyu, have you obtained the Blood Lingzhi?" Looking at the familiar surroundings, Yun Lan obviously knew that this was the space inside the jade pendant and that this wooden house was built by herself.

"Lan, why are you so stupid? They're still thinking about the Blood Lingzhi. " Ling Tianyu glanced at her unhappily, then nodded slightly. His heart was filled with pity, compared to Yun Lan and the Blood Lingzhi, the Blood Lingzhi was nothing.

"Tianyu, the Blood Lingzhi you're talking about is a material for refining Origin Returning Pills. It's extremely precious, and that's why I helped you block that big fellow." Yun Lan slightly pouted and said.

"Then you have to hold on as well. If something were to happen to you, what meaning would I have if I wanted that Blood Lingzhi?" Ling Tianyu pretended to be angry.

Yun Lan also knew that he was concerned about this and immediately felt a surge of warmth in her heart. However, he was once the commander of the Divine Martial Guard, so he had his own thoughts. She didn't want to be a burden.

"Eh, you're about to break through?"

Suddenly, Ling Tianyu noticed that Yun Lan's aura was rising and the surrounding spiritual energy was beginning to gather.

"Could it be that the attack from the blood worm forced Yun Lan's potential out, allowing him to find an opportunity to break through?" Ling Tianyu pondered for a moment.

He hurriedly said, "Quickly meditate, hold your breath, and focus on breaking through to the Qi Resisting Realm!"
