How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 252 - 248 Prey

Chapter 252: Chapter 248: Prey Chapter 252 -248: Prey “I advise you to team up with others for this journey!”

The bearded elder cautioned.

“No, I alone am enough!”

Chen Yu immediately refused.

With his current strength, he was by no means weaker than an average Early Innate cultivator; it’s just that he had not revealed his true power.

For Chen Yu, ordinary missions posed no difficulty, it was only those at the Innate level that could temper him.

However, taking on Innate-level missions while being merely at the Postnatal Middle Stage was too noticeable.

Therefore, Chen Yu selected this mission, to go to the Demon Bone Wilderness and hunt the Giant Demon Tiger.

This mission was the most difficult among the Postnatal Level, and most would team up to undertake it.

Chen Yu planned that if the hunt for the Giant Demon Tiger was completed quickly, he could also stay in the Demon Bone Wilderness a bit longer, venturing alone into other dangerous areas.

“Do as you see fit!”

Seeing Chen Yu insist on going alone, the bearded elder did not say much more.

After accepting the mission, Chen Yu went back to prepare. That day, he rode a fine Snow Trampling Horse towards the Demon Bone Wilderness.

Ten days later.

Chen Yu arrived at a desolate plain with dark clouds looming in the sky, while the air was filled with a heavy, desolate, and ferocious aura.

“Is this the Demon Bone Wilderness, one of the three great dangers in Tianhe Prefecture?”

Chen Yu felt a tinge of anticipation and proceeded with caution.

The Demon Bone Wilderness was located on the edge of Tianhe Prefecture and was extremely vast, stretching into parts of the neighboring prefectures.

The environment in the Demon Bone Wilderness was harsh, and the beasts that lived there were exceedingly ferocious. Given its long existence, there were not only Guiyuan Realm beasts but also ancient creatures. Even Jin Zhuo Peak, the top student from the Blood Slaughter Institute, did not dare to venture deep into it.

It wasn’t long before.

Ahead, more than a dozen large hyenas appeared; their bodies were emaciated, allowing a view of their sturdy bones, adding an even more ferocious appearance.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, these hyena beasts let out a fierce howl and surrounded him, launching an attack.

“Entering the Demon Bone Wilderness, and already encountering a group of Postnatal Early Stage fierce beasts!”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but exclaim at the danger the Bone Demon Wilderness presented.

Kill!

Activating the Copper Statue Technique, Chen Yu rushed out like a human-shaped beast, charging straight into one of the hyena beasts.

Boom!

The hyena beast let out a howl of agony as it was thrown dozens of feet, its flesh and blood a blur.

Seeing this, the other hyenas halted, ready to flee, clearly feeling a deadly threat from Chen Yu instantly killing one of their own.

As they escaped, two of the hyenas even dragged away the dead body, ready to feast upon it later.

Chen Yu did not bother with them and continued on.

After encountering several Postnatal Middle Stage and later stage fierce beasts, Chen Yu finally spotted his mission target—the Giant Demon Tiger!

Its massive form was like a small mountain, with pitch-black fur, a pair of blood-red eyes that could captivate souls, and tiger teeth as sharp as hooks stained with mottled blood.

The Giant Demon Tiger, a Postnatal Peak fierce beast, possessed tremendous strength and brutality. Its teeth, in a full-force bite, could even pose a threat to Qi Transformation Innate beings.

Roar~

The tiger’s roar was like thunder, intimidating all around.

An average Postnatal Middle Stage cultivator would have had their spirit shaken under the Giant Demon Tiger’s roar.

With that roar, the Giant Demon Tiger’s form charged forth.

Suddenly, the spot where Chen Yu stood was shrouded by a shadow of Evil Qi.

“Such speed!”

Chen Yu looked up at the mountainous Giant Demon Tiger barreling down on him.

From this close range, he felt an overwhelming surge of the tiger’s fierce Blood Evil Qi and its domineering presence.

Hum!

Fully activating the Copper Statue Technique, Chen Yu’s body was covered in a layer of precise copper patterns, with an invisible force field enveloping his copperized form.

Immediately, Chen Yu leaped up, proactively charging towards the descending Giant Demon Tiger.

The Giant Demon Tiger itself showed a hint of surprise; did this human really dare to take a head-on collision against it at a disadvantage?

Boom!

Chen Yu dodged the Giant Demon Tiger’s claw and landed a punch on its leg.

In their first exchange, Chen Yu forced the Giant Demon Tiger back.

“So tough!”

Chen Yu was astonished; the bones of the Giant Demon Tiger were incredibly sturdy, making him feel as though he was punching iron bones.

Roar!

Not gaining an upper hand in the first clash, the Giant Demon Tiger glared at Chen Yu with bloodshot eyes as it expanded its stomach and spat out an astonishing swirl of black Evil Qi.

This strike contained the might of a fierce beast, along with Blood Evil Qi, approaching the power of an Early Innate.

“Break!”

Faced with this attack, Chen Yu went on the offensive.

Boom!

A punch was thrown, and a black serpent made of Evil Qi emerged, wrapped in a layer of dark halo, almost lifelike.

Against a Postnatal Peak savage beast, Chen Yu didn’t hold back. This form manifested in his Evil Qi, intermingled with a wisp of dark True Qi, enhancing the strike’s power to be comparable to an average Innate attack.

Boom bang pong!

The Evil Qi black serpent shot forth, shattering the Evil Qi swirl with unstoppable momentum.

The Giant Demon Tiger had not expected Chen Yu to be so overbearing; unable to evade quickly enough, it was hit by the remaining punch’s force.

However, the beasts of the Demon Bone Wilderness possessed extreme vitality. Chen Yu’s powerful strike did not inflict a grave injury on the Giant Demon Tiger.

Swoosh!

A flash of dark light appeared in Chen Yu’s hand, and a wide, pitch-black greatsword materialized—the Xuan Heavy Sword.

Against the immensely vital Giant Demon Tiger, the damage dealt by his fists was limited.

Approaching the Giant Demon Tiger, he swung his sword.

Boom hiss!

A magnificent crescent-shaped black and silver sword rainbow, over two zhang in diameter, encircled by a roaring wave of dark Evil Qi, struck the mountain-like black tiger, leaving behind wounds.

Moreover, the astonishing force of the attack even damaged the Giant Demon Tiger’s internal organs.

With the Xuan Heavy Sword in hand, the ferocity of Chen Yu’s blows made even the Giant Demon Tiger feel a trace of wariness.

Gradually, the injuries on the Giant Demon Tiger accumulated, diminishing its combat strength.

At a certain moment, the Giant Demon Tiger transformed into a black shadow and turned to flee.

“Thinking of escaping?”

Chen Yu’s lips curled into a smile.

Roar~

A gust of Evil Qi picked up, and Chen Yu, like a lightning-black panther, chased after the Giant Demon Tiger with astonishing speed.

“The Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow,” as a secret movement technique, boasted incredible speed and was even better at straight-line pursuit.

In less than a moment, Chen Yu caught up with the Giant Demon Tiger.

Boom~

Chen Yu mobilized his nearly pitch-black True Qi, brewing a powerful strike, and fiercely swung the Xuan Heavy Sword.

The black evil Sword Qi, like a tsunami, surged forward, smashing into the Giant Demon Tiger.

The immense force of the impact aggravated its other injuries, causing the Giant Demon Tiger’s body to deform as blood spattered out.

Afterward, Chen Yu began to collect the precious parts from the Giant Demon Tiger’s body.

Giant Demon Tigers were not herd beasts; after killing one, Chen Yu continued his search.

In one day, Chen Yu hunted three Giant Demon Tigers, among others of varying strength.

At night, Chen Yu hurried outwards, finding a hillside to rest for a short while.

“My Blood Evil Qi has gotten stronger!”

While cultivating in Evil Wind Valley, the Killing Qi Realm within Chen Yu’s techniques had strengthened, but now, through combat, it had been further solidified and enhanced.

The following day.

Chen Yu went deeper again in search of Giant Demon Tigers.

Through the previous day’s combat, Chen Yu had already grasped the advantages and weaknesses of the Giant Demon Tigers.

At this point, he was so confident that he didn’t even need the Xuan Heavy Sword to swiftly hunt down the Giant Demon Tigers.

Roar roar~

The Giant Demon Tiger continued to roar, exhaling a giant black tornado from its mouth.

“Hmph, futile struggle!”

Chen Yu’s figure swiftly plunged to the right, dodging the attack, and once again burst forth with astonishing speed in a straight line.

During the combat, Chen Yu’s use of “Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow” became even more seamless, versatile, and adaptable.

Boom bang!

A Qi-transformed giant python roared out, blasting the Giant Demon Tiger back dozens of yards.

This Giant Demon Tiger was slightly weaker than the first one Chen Yu encountered, and its size was also smaller; it had clearly just advanced to the Postnatal Peak.

“Hmm?”

Chen Yu didn’t seize the opportunity to attack; his keen senses picked up on something unusual.

Hundreds of yards away.

Three men and one woman, drawn by the sound of the fight, approached cautiously.

“It’s the sound of a Giant Demon Tiger fighting. If we’re lucky, we might get an easy kill!”

Within the group, a Green-clothed Youth couldn’t hide his delight.

“Let’s go take a look!”

A young man holding a gray-white bone sword, his expression placid, led the team, clearly the captain of the group.

Gradually, the four of them got a clear view of the situation.

The one battling the Giant Demon Tiger wasn’t another beast, but a youth in beast armor.

“It’s him!”

In the team, a young man with blood-red bandages wrapped around his hands, showed a look of shock.

This person was the Blood Demon Hand.

Previously, Shi Wei and others had asked him to cause trouble for the freshmen, mainly targeting Chen Yu, but he ended up being chastised by Duan Hao.

“Do you know him?”

The team leader, Zhang Nan, asked.

“Blood Slaughter Institute newbie!”

Blood Demon Hand’s face darkened.

After exiting seclusion, he had been itching to find trouble with Chen Yu, only to hear the news of Chen Yu passing the twentieth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

This was, without a doubt, a tremendous blow to him.

From then on, Blood Demon Hand secluded himself to consolidate his cultivation, until he took on the Giant Demon Tiger hunting mission this time and joined “Zhang Nan’s” team.

Blood Demon Hand himself had to join a team to dare venture into the Demon Bone Wilderness, yet Chen Yu had come here alone.

“Let’s just watch for now!”

Zhang Nan murmured in a low voice.

From Blood Demon Hand’s expression, it seemed he had a poor relationship with this person, perhaps even enemies.

“I heard that among the Blood Slaughter Institute’s new students, aside from Duan Hao of the Ancient Clan, there’s another who became quite famous for passing twenty levels on his first tower run. Could this be him?”

A tall, cold-looking woman in the team spoke with a hint of interest.

“Wow, this guy is impressive. He’s taking on a Giant Demon Tiger alone, and he’s leaving it with no power to fight back!”

The Green-clothed Youth whispered in admiration, his words laced with a touch of jealousy.

“Brother Zhang, this kid must have quite a few Giant Demon Tiger materials on him. If we snatch them away, we could at least cut our mission time in half!”

Blood Demon Hand suddenly spoke up.

The other three team members turned towards him with surprise etched on their faces.

No Demon Academy’s competition was ruthless, with feuds and fights among the students often left to their own devices, provided they weren’t too severe. Deaths or disappearances while on missions were also common occurrences.

However, Chen Yu’s potential was too great, and they didn’t want to offend him.

“This kid’s at the Postnatal Middle Stage yet possesses such strength; there must be a great opportunity behind it, otherwise, with no background, how could he challenge the likes of Duan Hao and Situ Lin Yu, those super geniuses!”

Blood Demon Hand spoke again.

Even if this was just his suspicion without concrete evidence, it was still worth contemplating.

“Brother Zhang, the four of us take action, this kid, no matter how tough, won’t leave this place alive. Also, I’ll give you the ‘Bone Spirit Ore’ in my hands…”

Blood Demon Hand spat out through gritted teeth.

The other three could tell that Blood Demon Hand intended not only to rob Chen Yu of his resources but also to take his life!

After all, Blood Demon Hand was known for being ruthless and quick to kill over small matters. Given the chance, he would certainly take his enemy’s life.

The Green-clothed Youth and the tall woman both turned to look at Zhang Nan.

The three of them, coming from the same branch, often executed missions together, plundering resources, and had also engaged in treacherous activities, including killing other cultivators.

However, given Chen Yu’s immense potential and his not-so-ordinary combat abilities, this was no trivial matter, and Zhang Nan needed to make the decision.

After a long contemplation.

“Everyone prepare!”

Zhang Nan finally spoke up.

He had long had his eye on Blood Demon Hand’s “Bone Spirit Ore” and had even planned to target Blood Demon Hand during this mission.

But now, he shifted his aim to a much bigger prey.
