Chapter 551 - 551: Luo Jingwen

Leaning against a stone mountain, Chu Qingyun gasped for breath.

This escape had probably been even more dangerous and thrilling than the last time he'd slipped away from Chen Yi and Zheng Tianrong.

Thankfully, at the last moment, Chu Qingyun had unleashed his Lightning Sword twice, instantly killing two Molten Beasts.

Otherwise, he likely would have suffered even worse injuries to escape that Fire Poison Region!

After getting away safely, Chu Qingyun immediately felt a burning pain in several places on his body.

The Fire Poison had seeped into his body where the Molten Beasts had clawed through his skin.

Enduring the pain, Chu Qingyun first took out an Ice Pattern Pill and swallowed it to neutralize the Fire Poison that had invaded his system.

Then, he took out some Cold Heart Marrow and slathered a thick layer over all the claw marks on his body.

This served both to neutralize the Fire Poison and to use the cooling sensation to soothe the pain.

Once all that was done, Chu Qingyun took and consumed a Hundred Herbs Essence Pill.

Chu Qingyun quickly began Refining the three types of Healing Elixirs.

His injuries began to recover rapidly.

With the help of specialized elixirs, injuries healed more than ten times faster than if he had relied solely on the nourishment of his Primordial Power.

After changing into a clean set of clothes, Chu Qingyun sat on the ground and couldn't help but ponder how he could obtain the Magma Essence from within the Fire Poison Region.

'Simply trying to use the vines will probably be extremely difficult.'

'Too many powerful Molten Beasts are gathered near the Magma Essence. If just one of them happens to look up, my entire effort will be for naught.'

'Besides, almost all the Molten Beasts glance up at the Magma Essence from time to time, and some even stare at it constantly.'

'Even if my vines could avoid all the Molten Beasts, the moment I grab the Magma Essence, its disappearance will immediately alert them. When that happens, they'll all go berserk, and I won't have any time to retract the vines.'

Chu Qingyun thought of one method after another, but he rejected them all himself.

He simply couldn't get around the problem: the instant the Magma Essence vanished, all the Molten Beasts would go on a rampage.

Just then, he suddenly heard a voice from ahead. "Young Master Wen, there's someone up front!"

Soon, a group of seven people rushed over. They arrogantly fanned out and surrounded him.

'One Level 6 Martial Spirit, four Level 7 Martial Spirits, and two Level 8 Martial Spirits…'

Chu Qingyun quickly swept his gaze over them, and his expression relaxed considerably.

Among the seven, the strongest were only two Level 8 Martial Spirits. There wasn't even a single Level 9 Martial Spirit. To him, they posed no real threat.

"Chu Qingyun, you really made us work to find you…"

Among the seven, the Level 6 Martial Spirit looked Chu Qingyun up and down by the surrounding glow of Primordial Power, then spoke with a cold sneer.

Of the seven, this Level 6 Martial Spirit stood in the center, facing Chu Qingyun, appearing to be their leader.

"Looking for me? I don't believe I know any of you," Chu Qingyun said.

Hearing this, the Level 6 Martial Spirit's face instantly lit up with wild joy.

"So you really are Chu Qingyun!"

"So many people are looking for you, but to think it was I, Luo Jingwen, who found you! It seems those ninety-thousand-plus Saint Extreme Points are destined to be mine!"

"This time, even my big brother will have to look at me in a new light! HAHAHA…"

After speaking, Luo Jingwen couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

His six underlings also couldn't help but laugh, their eyes filled with fervent greed as they stared at Chu Qingyun.

As for Chu Qingyun, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He had actually been tricked.

These seven people had clearly only heard his name but had never seen him before and didn't recognize him.

Although they had called out his name directly, they weren't actually sure if the person they had surrounded was Chu Qingyun, so they were just trying to bluff him.

Unexpectedly, the bluff had actually worked.

"Chu Qingyun, if you know what's good for you, hand over your Sect Token. I, your young master, might leave you a complete corpse. Otherwise, we'll cripple your Primordial Power and feed you alive to the Molten Beasts!"

Luo Jingwen finished laughing and looked at Chu Qingyun with a vicious expression.

Hearing this, Chu Qingyun couldn't help but frown.

This Luo Jingwen didn't look very old and was actually quite handsome.

He hadn't expected someone like that to be so vicious, threatening to feed him alive to the Molten Beasts without a second thought.

"My Sect Token? And why should I give it to you?"

Chu Qingyun said calmly.

At the same time, he channeled some of his Iron Thread Ten-Star Vine's Martial Soul Power, gathering it at his wounds to speed up their recovery.

'It seems this battle is unavoidable.'

'Two Level 8 Martial Spirit experts from the Sects are probably stronger than four or five Level 8 Molten Beasts.'

In every aspect, Demon Beasts are much stronger than humans.

In places like the Land of Hundred Dynasties, or even the Blood-soaked Land, many human Martial Artists often can't defeat a Demon Beast of the same level.

But in the lands of the Sects, it's a different story.

Sect Disciples are powerful and have many techniques at their disposal.

And since Tier Three Demon Beasts have little intelligence, they are no match for a Sect Disciple of the same level.

'So, facing Luo Jingwen's group, I can't be careless. If I'm forced to use any of the abilities I can't reveal, I'll have to make sure none of them leave this place alive!'

"Hmph, Chu Qingyun, stop pretending."

"The news that your Sect Token holds over ninety thousand Saint Extreme Points has already spread throughout the Molten Rock District."

"Right now, everyone in the entire Molten Rock District is hunting for you. If you know what's good for you, you'll do as you're told. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Luo Jingwen sneered.

With seven people on his side against a mere newly-entered Level 6 Martial Spirit, Luo Jingwen was more than a hundred percent confident!

"Wish I were dead, you say…?"

Chu Qingyun repeated softly.

Then, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Thrusting Sword Technique!"

His injuries were now seventy to eighty percent healed. Chu Qingyun instantly drew his Thunder Shock Sword and executed the Thrusting Sword Technique, stabbing toward one of the Level 8 Martial Spirits next to Luo Jingwen.

Both the Sword Drawing Technique and the Thrusting Sword Technique were famous for their speed.

As the sword thrust out, the Thunder Shock Sword transformed into a flash of dark purple light that vanished in an instant.

PSST!

The Thunder Shock Sword cleanly and directly pierced through the Level 8 Martial Spirit's head.

The distance was simply too close, and not a single one of them had imagined that Chu Qingyun would dare to strike first while surrounded by seven people!
