Chapter 263: Chapter 262: Almost Dead, a Chance for a Counter-Kill

’So this is what the Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body looks like at the Perfection Realm!’

Wu Chen watched the flesh-and-blood giant pounce at him again, then glanced down at his own right hand, which had condensed to resemble armor.

He came to a conclusion:

’Your flesh armor isn’t as good-looking as mine!’

The only drawback was that his current Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body was only at the entry-level, so he could only make one arm take on an armored appearance for now.

If his entire body were clad in this layer of inky armor, it would be a completely different sight to behold!

"Die!"

A furious roar shattered Wu Chen’s thoughts. He looked up to see the flesh-and-blood giant was already within five feet of him.

Along with the figure came a streak of red light, descending upon his head.

It aimed to cleave him in two.

’Dodge!’

Facing this strike, Wu Chen still chose to dodge, with no intention of meeting it head-on.

His figure flickered, and he appeared beside several demonic people at the Initial Realm of Blood Coagulation.

His sharp fingers, like they were forged from Profound Iron, shot out and clawed at the nearest demonic person’s chest.

These few reacted much faster than the ones at the Organ Refining Realm from before, raising their sabers to block in front of them.

But they were only a little faster. By the time their beating hearts were plucked out and fell into Wu Chen’s hands, their weapons had just been raised, failing to block him in the slightest.

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body Minor Achievement Proficiency +353]

[...]

The next moment, a violent aura surged from Wu Chen’s fingertips, devouring the fresh Qi and Blood. The proficiency points on his panel skyrocketed.

The Qi and Blood of an Initial Blood Coagulation Realm expert was much denser; by his calculation, one heart was worth over a quarter of an hour of passive gain.

Wu Chen didn’t stop, his hand lashing out continuously, and in a flash, five hearts from Initial Blood Coagulation Realm experts were in his grasp.

"You scoundrel! Don’t run!"

His two consecutive strikes missed, and in the blink of an eye, another seven or eight demonic people had fallen before him. The red-robed Blood Envoy’s eyes were practically splitting with rage.

He charged forward once more, his massive frame causing the ground to tremble ceaselessly and the forest leaves to rustle and shake.

Unfortunately, by the time his blade descended, Wu Chen had already used the same old trick, refusing to clash head-on with the Blood Envoy.

It was like punching cotton—all of the Blood Envoy’s strength was rendered useless.

Coupled with the fact that he was surrounded by his own men, the Blood Envoy couldn’t fully unleash his attacks, allowing Wu Chen to move with even greater ease.

"Coward! Spineless weakling!"

"You’re a Cloud Pattern Captain of the Demon Suppression Bureau, for crying out loud! Is this all you’ve got?!"

As another strike missed and three more of his subordinates died at Wu Chen’s hands, the red-robed Blood Envoy was so furious he was practically hopping mad, and he couldn’t stop himself from cursing loudly.

He couldn’t understand how this Cloud Pattern Captain’s Body Technique was so slippery.

This feeling of being able to kill his opponent but unable to catch him was excruciating.

"..."

Wu Chen ignored the fuming Blood Envoy and continued with his initial plan: kill the weak ones first.

’Besides, he’s cursing a Cloud Pattern Captain. What’s that got to do with me, a mere temporary guard?’

Right now, he was more concerned with how to obtain more Qi and Blood!

But in the short time he’d been on his rampage, nearly thirty corpses had fallen. Blood flowed from their chests, staining the ground dark red, and the stench of blood in the forest grew ever thicker.

Wu Chen noticed his panel had changed once again:

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body Minor Achievement Proficiency +20]

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body Minor Achievement Proficiency +20]

[...]

The effect of the continuous point gain had doubled!

’At this rate, if I wipe out all the demonic people here, breaking through to Minor Achievement in the Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body should be no problem!’

Wu Chen’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t done the exact math, but he felt it was more or less certain.

But he also knew that it didn’t matter even if he didn’t break through to Minor Achievement.

Since he could find one Blood Palace demonic outpost here, it meant there were at least ten more of similar scale around Cold Rain City.

Sweeping through all those places would absolutely be enough to advance his Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body to the Perfection Realm!

"Formations! Quickly, form up!"

"This guy has no martial honor! He’s only picking on those with lower realms!"

"This bastard is no match for Lord Blood Envoy! We just need to hold him off for a breath or two, and the Blood Envoy will be able to kill him!"

"..."

Just as Wu Chen was continuing his heart-ripping spree, the situation on the field began to change.

Everyone realized something was wrong. This Captain from the Demon Suppression Bureau was using his extraordinary Body Technique to constantly evade the red-robed Blood Envoy’s attacks.

If they didn’t band together and continued to fight individually, it was only a matter of time before he picked them off one by one.

Following the orders of a demonic core member, the hundred or so demonic people stopped fighting in twos and threes. Instead, they formed groups of at least ten, creating impenetrable human walls as they actively pressed toward Wu Chen.

Given the strength Wu Chen had displayed, they didn’t expect to kill him. They only wanted to tie him down for a breath or two to create an opportunity for the flesh-morphed Blood Envoy to strike him down.

’Who the hell would talk about martial honor with a bunch of scum like you!’

Wu Chen wasn’t intimidated by the group’s actions. In fact, their words almost made him laugh out loud, and he couldn’t help but curse them in his mind.

’Talking about martial honor with a group of demonic people from the Blood Palace? Now that’s what I call insane!’

But the demonic people paid no mind to his thoughts. The human walls, formed by teams of more than ten, pressed in on Wu Chen from all sides, exuding a surprisingly powerful momentum.

CLANG! CLANG! —

More than twenty demonic people took chains out of their storage pouches and threw them from all angles, creating a dense spiderweb that descended over Wu Chen’s head, enveloping him.

Faced with this situation, Wu Chen simply raised a hand slowly as streams of white light materialized around him.

Blood Evil True Gang!

"Go!"

The instant the streams of light formed, they smashed outwards in all directions.

The densely packed demonic people had no way to dodge. They were only focused on trapping Wu Chen to buy some time.

They had forgotten that Wu Chen had already used this move at the very beginning.

Caught completely off guard, the demonic people were hit head-on!

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT! —

Countless clouds of blood mist erupted. The mist in the forest visibly turned pink, and even the air grew thick and sticky to breathe.

[...]

After this attack, the proficiency gain on Wu Chen’s panel more than doubled again!

He didn’t pay any extra attention to the panel, instead looking at the forest before him, now a hellish landscape shrouded in blood mist after the Blood Evil True Gang had fallen.

This sight, however, did not frighten away the remaining demonic people.

In the brief pause after Wu Chen’s Blood Evil True Gang landed, three figures dodged the Gang Qi and charged at him from cunning angles.

These three were core members. Similar to Wu Chen, their Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body had not yet reached Perfection.

The difference was, they had already reached Great Success!

Deeply aware of how terrifying Wu Chen was, they frantically squeezed their nine internal sources as they rushed the young man.

The refined blood and flesh within their bodies also activated at this moment.

But the three of them didn’t armor their entire bodies. Instead, they let the blood and flesh cover their arms, piling the rest in front of them.

Especially over their hearts.

This was to prevent Wu Chen from landing a fatal blow.

"You animal, pay for the lives of our sect members!"

Three figures, six massive, flesh-and-blood arms carrying a foul wind of blood and gore, clawed at the young man’s figure.

Even if they couldn’t kill him in one blow, they were confident they could at least hinder his movements and stop him from teleporting away.

"..."

Faced with this torrential assault, Wu Chen instead fell into thought:

’Judging by their auras, these three are at the Perfection Realm of Blood Coagulation, but their Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body hasn’t reached Perfection.’

’In that case, these three should be considered the elites among this group of demonic people.’

’If so, I wonder if killing them will scare off the others...’

Wu Chen hesitated. He was afraid that if he killed these three, the morale of the lower-realm demonic people would instantly collapse, causing them to scatter like birds and beasts.

That was a scenario he did not want to see.

’Maybe I should kill these three but pretend to be injured?’

’Make the other demonic people think I’m critically wounded and ripe for a counter-kill?’

An idea popped into Wu Chen’s head, and he thought it might just work.

But a glance at his surroundings made him immediately dismiss the idea.

The reason was simple: the flesh armor used by these three demonic elites was far too disgusting. He didn’t want to touch it at all.

’Forget it. I’ll just kill them.’

Wu Chen decided not to drag it out and just get the killing over with.

He would just have to overdraw his body’s source energy later and fire off a few more rounds of Blood Evil True Gang to quickly finish off the rest.

With this thought, watching the core members who were now right in front of him, Wu Chen’s figure shifted left and right. As he dodged their grasping arms, his right hand shot out.

SHLIIICK! —

To the utter shock of these core members, Wu Chen’s hand effortlessly pierced through the flesh armor on their chests they were so proud of and ripped out their fresh, beating hearts.

’Your Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body is at Great Success, that’s right! And it’s true that it surpasses mine!’

’But setting all that aside...’

’I am, without a doubt, a genuine Armor Forging Realm cultivator!’

Looking at the three men’s uncomprehending gazes, Wu Chen sighed internally before clenching his five fingers.

SQUISH!

In his large palm, the three fresh, red clumps of flesh instantly turned to dust.

At the same time, the proficiency on his panel shot up dramatically:
