Chapter 602: Chapter 0597: Lucrative Spoils of War

“Kid, are you really a descendant of the Blood-sucking Clan?”

Lying aside, the powerless Red Flame King asked.

“There’s that possibility.”

Chen Yu thought for a moment before answering.

The Red Flame King was immediately taken aback, almost spurting out a mouthful of blood.

What kind of response was that?

Was he a descendant or not, did Chen Yu, the person concerned, not know?

“Kid, don’t try to deceive me. Even if you are a descendant of the Blood-sucking Clan, after absorbing the bloodline, you need to refine and integrate it to use it.”

“What secrets do you have on you?”

The Red Flame King stared intently at Chen Yu.

“Or maybe I should just absorb your bloodline and let you experience it yourself to see if I’m really a descendant of the Blood-sucking Clan.”

Chen Yu fixed his gaze on the Red Flame King, revealing a wicked smile.

“…”

The Red Flame King fell silent.

He was too weak now; if Chen Yu decided to extract his bloodline, he couldn’t stop him.

“Kid, you’re really heartless. If it weren’t for this king, you would have been in hell long ago.”

The Red Flame King muttered again.

Chen Yu ignored him, taking a Healing Pill to treat his injuries at that moment.

His entire skin was burned beyond recognition, and his chest had several ferocious and frightening wounds.

With injuries like his, if it were someone else, they would have died long ago.

But once Chen Yu escaped life and death danger, the injuries on his body would slowly heal.

“Kid, this king is seriously injured this time. Go get the demonic core of the Golden Winged Phoenix to heal me,”

The Red Flame King commanded.

The Red Flame King’s injuries were not much different from Chen Yu’s, but he did not have Chen Yu’s powerful self-healing ability.

Especially since his injuries had affected his soul, it would take at least half a year to recover.

With some healing treasures, the recovery time could be shortened.

The demonic core of the Golden Winged Phoenix was the most precious treasure on its body next to the bloodline, containing enormous power. It could heal injuries of the body and soul and was also used to enhance cultivation.

The demonic core was far more beneficial to the Red Flame King than to Chen Yu.

Furthermore, the Red Flame King had played a pivotal role in the battle of the Holy Beasts, so Chen Yu intended to give him the demonic core.

“Hey? There’s a noise above…”

Once everything quieted down, Chen Yu heard sounds of fighting coming from the hall above.

“Ye Luofeng!”

Chen Yu was previously together with Ye Luofeng, but he had been blocked by Fang Yan Yu below while Ye Luofeng was still above.

Swoosh!

Ignoring his injuries, Chen Yu leaped up.

Inside the dark golden hall.

“Miss, there’s no more noise below, hahaha.”

Zheng Jichou laughed.

The noise from below had been loud and frightened Zheng Jichou. The Golden Winged Phoenix wanted to kill Chen Yu; did it need to expend so much effort?

Fortunately, the noise had now stopped, and Chen Yu was finally dead.

Ye Luofeng didn’t speak, staring fixedly at Zheng Jichou. The cold, bone-chilling intent to kill was so pervasive that even she neglected the mist forming in her eyes.

If not for Zheng Jichou’s interference, she could have broken through the Sword Qi shield before the noise below ceased.

Everything was because of Zheng Jichou!

Ye Luofeng’s gaze was like two ice picks, aiming straight at Zheng Jichou. She just wanted to kill this man now.

“Miss, with your strength, you are not my match. Had I wanted to kill you, the battle would have finished long ago. What must I do to make you understand my intentions?”

Zheng Jichou displayed a lovestruck demeanor.

“Just prove it with your death!”

Ye Luofeng answered coldly.

“Heh, you don’t know what’s good for you.”

“Then I’ll send you to meet Chen Yu. I’m sure he’ll be delighted, hahaha!”

Zheng Jichou’s face suddenly twisted into a mocking, cold sneer.

At that instant.

Boom bang!

Three loud booms came from the cauldron behind, followed by the medicinal cauldron flying up and crashing to one side.

Due to the aftermath of the previous great battle with the Golden Winged Phoenix, the cauldron had been affected several times, so Chen Yu easily broke free.

“You’re right, I’d of course be happy to see her, but seeing you just makes me very unhappy.”

Chen Yu spoke coldly.

This sudden turn of events stunned both Ye Luofeng and Zheng Jichou in the midst of battle as they turned to look.

“Who… who are you?”

Zheng Jichou trembled all over when he saw Chen Yu’s devilish appearance.

Even though Chen Yu was burned all over, he recognized that this person was Chen Yu, only he did not want to admit it.

How could Chen Yu still be alive?

That terrifying creature in the cave was the Holy Beast Golden Winged Phoenix; how could it possibly let Chen Yu live?

Ye Luofeng too was staring intently at Chen Yu. Seeing what Chen Yu looked like now, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand, her heart aching.

But thankfully, Chen Yu was still alive.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu darted out and immediately took action.

Zheng Jichou, a man who holds grudges, needed to be eliminated.

Even though Chen Yu had just been through a great battle and was terribly injured, taking out Zheng Jichou was still no problem.

“Run!”

Zheng Jichou turned and fled.

Chen Yu left a deep impression on him, and now, being outnumbered, with his cowardly character, it was natural to consider escape first.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu executed the Demon Dragon Shadow Control, moving at an incredible speed, leaving a trail of black wind that danced like a dragon’s tail.

With Chen Yu’s current speed, Zheng Jichou was no match for him.

Chen Yu appeared in front of Zheng Jichou and swept out with his sword, a terrifying demonic light blasted forward.

Zheng Jichou stopped, controlling his flying sword to shuttle back and forth in defense against Chen Yu’s attacks.

Just at that moment, a blood-curdling sword light pierced through the darkness ahead.

Pfft!

Zheng Jichou’s shoulder was penetrated by the Yangming Sword Point, greatly reducing his control over the flying sword’s agility.

Then, Chen Yu suddenly switched swords in his hand, thrusting it at him.

Zheng Jichou stared at the pitch-black and ferocious bone sword in Chen Yu’s hand, feeling goosebumps all over, as a sense of imminent danger descended.

With no outsiders present and Chen Yu sustaining serious injuries, he decided on a quick battle and thus pulled out the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zheng Jichou immediately dodged, frantically fleeing.

Chen Yu pursued closely, inching closer with each moment.

Feeling the crisis looming, Zheng Jichou’s heart pounded fiercely.

“Chen Yu, spare my life… don’t kill me, I promise never to appear before you again,”

Zheng Jichou begged for mercy.

But he still left himself a way out; not appearing before Chen Yu didn’t mean he couldn’t harm Chen Yu in other ways.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu was unmoved and thrust his sword.

Zheng Jichou concentrated all his attention, dodging to the right, narrowly escaping the sword’s path.

But suddenly, the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword in Chen Yu’s hand emitted a spine-chilling sound, with its nine bone spurs trembling slightly before suddenly extending outward, rapidly lengthening and increasing the demon sword’s range of attack.

Splat!

One of the bone spurs directly sliced off one of Zheng Jichou’s arms.

“Ah…”

Zheng Jichou screamed in agony as blood spurted from the wound on his arm.

Boom!

Chen Yu halted, sweeping his sword across.

The demon sword, covered in bone spurs, slashed across Zheng Jichou’s body, leaving a dozen gully-like wounds, the demonic properties of the sword turning the flesh and bone within the wounds pitch black instantly.

Thud!

Zheng Jichou, now devoid of life, collapsed to the ground.

Facing Chen Yu who wielded the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword, Zheng Jichou was utterly powerless.

It’s known that even the Golden Winged Phoenix feared the power of this demon sword.

After taking Zheng Jichou’s storage bag, Chen Yu returned to the cave.

“This…”

Ye Luofeng looked at the withered corpse of the Golden Winged Phoenix with a shocked expression.

The Holy Beast Golden Winged Phoenix was actually dead!

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.

However, looking at Chen Yu and the Red Flame King, both severely wounded, she could imagine how perilous the battle had been, where one wrong move could have meant death for Chen Yu and the Red Flame King.

“Boy, the monster core has already been taken by this king,”

The Red Flame King said with a slight smile.

The monster core of a Sky Sea Realm Holy Beast could not only heal his injuries but also significantly boost his cultivation level.

Chen Yu didn’t intervene; he had planned to give the monster core to the Red Flame King anyway.

Next, Chen Yu started harvesting other materials from the Golden Winged Phoenix’s body.

As a Holy Beast of the Sky Sea Realm, every part was a treasure to someone in the Guiyuan Realm.

First, Chen Yu cut off a pair of golden wings.

These wings could be made into defensive armor or flying tools, among other things.

Next were the Golden Winged Phoenix’s talons, as hard as a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, making them excellent material for crafting a high-grade Spiritual Artifact.

Besides that, the flesh of the Golden Winged Phoenix was a major tonic, capable of enhancing one’s physique and healing injuries.

If Chen Yu hadn’t absorbed the bloodline of the Golden Winged Phoenix, its flesh would have been even more precious.

“Here, roast a few pieces for me.”

Chen Yu swiftly cut some pieces of the Golden Winged Phoenix’s flesh and tossed them to the Red Flame King.

“Am I your servant?”

The Red Flame King retorted angrily.

He, the Red Flame King, was being ordered to grill meat!

“Stop complaining and just grill it,”

Chen Yu immediately ordered.

His Blood Crystal Flame was not suitable for such tasks; it would likely burn the meat to ashes in the process.

In comparison, the Red Flame King’s Kirin Flame and the Melting Gold Flame were perfect for grilling.

The Red Flame King wanted to curse and to refuse, but he went to grill the meat anyway.

Before long, the Red Flame King had it cooked and ate a large piece himself before throwing pieces to Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng.

Chen Yu took a bite, immediately enjoying the excellent taste. He gave the Red Flame King a thumbs up, praising his culinary skills.

At the same time, Chen Yu’s body’s self-healing accelerated, the medicinal effects of the Golden Winged Phoenix flesh even better than some of the Healing Pills Chen Yu had on hand.

“Red Flame King, how long will you need to recover?”

Chen Yu inquired.

He possessed a mysterious heart with an extraordinary self-healing ability and wouldn’t need long to fully recover, but the Red Flame King was different; his injuries were perhaps more severe than Chen Yu’s.

“At least not in the short term, you shouldn’t count on me for the Holy Pill competition,”

The Red Flame King replied, making it clear he was helpless because of his severe injuries.

Chen Yu was already determined to compete for the Blood Star Holy Pill, and now with the increase in strength from the Golden Winged Phoenix bloodline, he would surely join in the fray.

However, the Red Flame King wasn’t all that interested; competing for the Holy Pill was too dangerous, and he wasn’t expected to have a share in it.

“Then be careful. If the injuries are too severe, you might lose your life,”

Chen Yu said heartlessly, nearly choking the Red Flame King with his words.

“You little ungrateful wretch, I am severely injured because of you, and yet you expect me, in this condition, to participate in such dangerous battles…”

The Red Flame King immediately cursed, then picked up another piece of grilled meat and began to eat.

A while later, the Red Flame King gravely advised, “Boy, don’t rush. The Blood Star Holy Pill won’t be so easily obtained by anyone. You should heal your wounds first.”
