"There's movement over there!"
"Listen... sounds like Iron Mountain and the others!"
"They should have intercepted that kid!"
"Hurry, hurry! Maybe we can catch him off guard!"
As the lackeys, who were left wailing on the ground by Chen Chong, departed, they heard a huge commotion. Like headless flies, they rushed excitedly towards the direction of the noise. Meanwhile, Bone Army, Zhang Long, Qian Xu, Sun Yimao, and Wang Qianlie reacted swiftly. Upon hearing the disturbance, they promptly led the way and arrived within half a minute.
However, when they got there and saw the alleyways ravaged like they'd been attacked by ferocious beasts, along with the lackeys wailing on the ground, they were stunned.
Zhang Long grabbed one of the lackeys who appeared to be the least injured and shouted, "Where are they? Where are Iron Mountain and Li Bao?"
The lackey looked petrified, trembling as he pointed to the alleyway, stammering, "They... they are..."
Following the lackey's direction, Zhang Long, Bone Army, Qian Xu, Sun Yimao, and Wang Qianlie were shocked. They saw a sturdy body half-buried in the rubble and a headless corpse lying on the ground, staining the ground crimson with blood.
Judging from their physique and clothing, it was indeed Iron Mountain and Li Bao!
Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to see them like this in such a short time. The five awakened individuals felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies trembling with cold.
Meanwhile...
Most people were drawn to another direction, and Chen Chong's footsteps became light, no longer creating loud noises. Like a lurking tiger, he searched through the alleyways.
The appearance of Iron Mountain and the others delayed him for a few seconds. This residential area was filled with low-rise buildings and complex terrain. Those few seconds of distraction caused him to lose sight of the Blood General.
However, Chen Chong's nostrils twitched, clearly distinguishing and capturing the faint, distinct smell of blood in the air.
It was the unique blood scent belonging to the Blood General, this extraordinary being.
Thanks to the enhancement from the Divine Water, Chen Chong's senses were greatly heightened, reaching an inhuman level of sensitivity in vision, hearing, smell, and more. The scent of the Blood General's blood, which had yet to dissipate, was like a guiding light in the air, allowing Chen Chong to easily discern the direction of the Blood General's escape.
"Blood General, still trying to resist, huh?"
Recalling the rumors he had heard about the Blood General's abilities, Chen Chong seemed to understand his intentions. A silent, sinister smile crept onto his face as he quietly followed the scent of blood in a certain direction.
Chapter 079 Blood Replenishment
At the same time, inside a dilapidated earthen building with walls leaking wind.
A shriveled and pale lackey's corpse lay on the ground, eyes wide open, wearing an incredulous expression. The dim blood reflected on the skull-like face of the corpse, appearing extremely horrifying.
Nearby, the Blood General, covered in blood, hid in the corner, limbs sprawled out, adopting a bizarre posture with his chest pressed against another lackey's corpse.
Simultaneously, it could be seen that on the Blood General's chest, a peculiar mass resembling a mouth tore open the flesh of the corpse beneath him, violently sucking something. At the same time, a relieved expression appeared on the Blood General's face.
Naturally, this was the Blood General's ability, "Blood Boiling," which allowed him to rapidly heal his own injuries. And the source of the materials he used was his underlings. For the Blood General, pushed to a dead end, as long as it was advantageous to himself, he would not hesitate to sacrifice even his own kin, let alone just two lackeys.
Visible to the naked eye, as the Blood General sucked, the body beneath him gradually shriveled up. Meanwhile, the eerie blood glow on the Blood General's body surged, complemented by his bloody and cruel gaze, filling the dim room with a sinister and terrifying atmosphere!
As a mysterious force surged into his body, his severe injuries began to heal rapidly. The blood of the first person had already healed half of his injuries, and after absorbing the blood from the remaining two individuals, he would be fully restored. By then, it would be Chen Chong's time to die!
"Just wait a little longer, just a few more minutes..."
Faint sounds of cursing and footsteps could be heard from afar. Like a lurking venomous snake, the Blood General's eyes were filled with a kind of crazed and cruel expression.
Today was one of the biggest crises he had faced since his rise, tarnishing his image of brutality and dignity. If it weren't for Iron Mountain and Li Bao intercepting Chen Chong, he might have completely capsized!
And all of this could only be washed away with blood!
As his body rapidly recovered, the pain gradually diminished. In the blood glow, the Blood General uttered a malicious whisper:
"...Chen Chong, I won't kill you. I'll cut out your tongue, gouge out your eyes, sever your limbs, soak you in a cesspool, and let you experience it day and night..."
Whoosh!
At this moment, a dull airflow suddenly whistled from outside the earthen building. The Blood General's senses were extremely keen, and he suddenly turned his head to see a huge millstone, at least a square meter in size, descending from the sky at an astonishing speed, smashing towards the top of the earthen building where the Blood General was located!
Chen Chong!? Why didn't Iron Mountain and Li Bao stop him!? How did he find this place!?
As the heavy millstone plummeted down, although the Blood General didn't see Chen Chong's figure, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if the sky were falling on him!
The heavy millstone hurtling towards him was initiated by none other than Chen Chong. The Blood General hadn't expected that his most capable subordinate, Iron Mountain, would fail to intercept Chen Chong, nor did he expect Chen Chong to find him so quickly! Although terrified, the Blood General's body instinctively propelled him like an arrow, leaping out of the earthen building!
Boom!
The next moment, the roof of the earthen building was shattered like tofu by the heavy millstone. Simultaneously, the violent kinetic energy from the falling object caused the ground to tremble violently, and the walls of the earthen building collapsed and crumbled, with a large amount of debris and dust billowing up!
This single millstone created an effect akin to a bomb explosion. As the Blood General leaped out, he had already avoided the range of the millstone's impact.
However, before the Blood General could even rejoice in his lightning-fast reaction—
"General, are you trying to replenish your blood to full capacity and then fight me for three hundred rounds?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst a series of loud noises from shattered doors, windows, and walls, the middle section of the alleyway next to the Blood General collapsed suddenly. Then, Chen Chong's ferocious and powerful figure broke through all obstacles, accompanied by a fierce whistling wind!
"The script is very nice, but I'm going to beat you to a pulp right now!"
Chen Chong burst into laughter, without any unnecessary words. As his true qi surged madly, a large amount of electricity generated, he clenched his fist suddenly. Instantly, his entire arm burst with bursting veins, and with the swirling airflow, he fiercely punched towards the terrified Blood General!
