Chapter 752 - Blood Refining Canyon

“He’s here!”

The crowd’s eyes sharpened as Chen Fan entered as if they’d found their backbone.

“Let’s get to it—where is the Blood Demon Cave’s lair?” Chen Fan asked directly, not mincing words.

Emperor Li stepped forward and said, “Based on our scouting, we’re almost certain their lair is in Blood Refining Canyon.”

Blood Refining Canyon lay deep in the Hong Domain’s barren mountains, a treacherous, nearly lifeless region often regarded as a forbidden zone.

“Good enough. Let’s head over there immediately. Delays could give them time to shift or fortify,” Chen Fan said.

Wanderer White Brow and the others did not object; acting quickly worked in their favor.

In the past, blood demons had roamed the Hong Domain in small numbers, creating minor disruptions.

However, the recent resurgence of Blood Demon Cave experts, who had been in a deep slumber from past battles, allowed the blood demon army to terrorize the region.

With the blood demons not yet fully recovered, moving swiftly could provide a significant advantage.

“Prepare to move out,” Wanderer White Brow commanded. “This time, we will eradicate the Blood Demon Cave entirely—no future threats will remain!”

As the strongest fighter here besides Chen Fan, his words carried considerable weight. His efforts had long been pivotal in resisting the blood demon army’s previous raids.

On the Blood Demon Cave’s side, one of the three guardians from the past, the Man Guardian, had already awakened. Without Wanderer White Brow, the Great Li Imperial Court and the Hong Domain would have long since fallen.

Orders quickly spread through the ranks.

In this battle to eradicate the Blood Demon Cave, the core force was their group of Heavenly Star realm experts. However, the Divine Nascent realm and Core Formation realm experts were also indispensable.

Within two hours, the troops assembled and set off toward Blood Refining Canyon in an imposing formation.

“Heavens, what a terrifying lineup. Are they preparing for a final battle against the Blood Demon Cave?”

“I heard they found the Blood Demon Cave’s base camp. It seems they’re ready to storm it.”

“Let’s hope they succeed; otherwise, where would that leave us?”

“The human race will win!” someone cried, igniting similar cheers.

“......”

As the majestic army swept across the sky above the Great Li Imperial Court, countless people looked up in solemn awe.

The blood demons had left devastation across the Hong Domain, turning each place they touched into a nightmare. Naturally, everyone longed to see these monsters vanquished.

Unable to join the fight, the people prayed fervently.

“May the heavens bless our human race. The human race will definitely win!”

“The human race will win!”

Countless people cheered with all their might wherever the army passed.

Blood Refining Canyon, the lair of the Blood Demon Cave:

“Reporting! Bad news, King Kun. There’s big trouble!” A blood demon scout rushed into the hall in a panic.

“What’s the matter, panicking like that? How unsightly!” Xue Kun’s gaze turned cold. A terrifying pressure erupted, forcing the blood demon scout to his knees.

“Reporting to Sir, the Great Li Imperial Court’s army is on its way here!” said the blood demon scout.

“Oh? They found our base camp and dared to march straight here?!” Xue Kun’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. He chuckled coldly, “Perfect timing. Sir Man Guardian is nearly at his peak. Since they’ve come knocking, let’s open our doors and give them a proper welcome!”

“Hahahaha, my Blood Ax has been itching for this.”

“This time, no one will live to tell the tale!”

In the hall, the other Heavenly Star realm blood demons laughed strangely, seemingly fearless.

Xue Kun stood up. A powerful aura erupted from him, sweeping out in all directions, suffocating the others. “Pass on my orders. Get ready for battle!”

“Yes!” the blood demons replied, rising with a surge of dark qi that nearly blew the roof apart.

......

The Blood Refining Canyon stretched for hundreds of kilometers, a concealed landscape of cliffs, towering mountains, and dense, tangled forests.

Poisonous qi and miasma shrouded it all year round, thus people rarely came near it, and birds were non-existent here—a natural fortress, perfect for the Blood Demon Cave’s base.

A majestic army stood outside the Blood Refining Canyon.

As the army’s combined auras surged, the sky trembled, dispersing the poisonous miasma clinging to the Blood Refining Canyon.

“The Blood Refining Canyon is just ahead!” Emperor Li said, looking at the large canyon ahead.

A fierce look flickered in Chen Fan’s eyes, leading the charge like a bolt of lightning.

“Let’s go, directly kill our way in!”

Boom, boom, boom!

A thunderous roar echoed through the canyon as blood-colored beams of light burst from within, tearing through space like a flood of blood sweeping toward them.

“

Haaa

!” Wanderer White Brow and the others shouted, channeling their cultivation and unleashing several terrifying attacks, shattering this sea of blood sweeping toward them.

“Hahahaha, Wanderer White Brow, I commend you for finding our lair. Not bad at all. But it’s a shame you’ve marched to your graves!”

Suddenly, sinister laughter filled the air. Several blood demons emerged from the canyon, cloaked in blood qi that billowed around them.

“Xue Kun, today is the day your Blood Demon Cave meets its end!” Wanderer White Brow said coldly.

Xue Kun smiled disdainfully and said, “Wanderer White Brow, you could resist Sir Man Guardian before because he still hadn’t recovered. But now, he has absorbed enough qi and blood. His cultivation has fully recovered. Do you still think you people have a chance?

“We’d planned to raze the Great Li Imperial Court in just a few days, but since you were so eager to meet your end, we’re happy to oblige. The Blood Refining Canyon is a decent burial place. It’s your blessing to be able to be buried here.”

Chen Fan couldn’t be bothered engaging in a war of words. He stepped forward, standing at the front of the crowd.

“You talk too much nonsense. Where’s that Man Guardian you keep talking about? Tell him to come out and accept his death!”

Xue Kun’s gaze became stern when he saw Chen Fan. He said coldly, “Brat, how dare a mere fifth-level Heavenly Star realm cultivator like you spout nonsense in front of me. You really don’t know your limits!”

Before his taunts could fully settle in the air, Xue Kun's figure blurred, transforming into a blood-red afterimage that vanished in an instant.

Xue Kun appeared in front of Chen Fan, thrusting his palm toward Chen Fan’s head with a hideous smile.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

Yet, just as quickly as he struck, Xue Kun was sent flying back, his body crashing into the ground with brutal force, trailing a mist of blood. The layer of protective true primeval around him exploded wildly, tattered and riddled with holes everywhere.
