Chapter 505: Blocking a Swordsman

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A few more people were heavily injured by the high-ranked Blood Demons.

One of them received particularly severe injuries. A Blood Demon managed to grasp his heart in its sharp claws. All the Blood Demon had to do was apply a little force and it could kill him.

Fortunately, Wu Quan saved this person in time. Just as the Blood Demon was about to squeeze, Wu Quan chopped off its head. That was truly a moment of life or death.

In the blink of an eye, someone almost died. Xiao Chen had to take on the role of medic and try to save him.

In the end, after one high-ranked Blood Demon died, the battle became easier. However, Ping Xingteng was not careful enough and he let the Blood Demon escape.

Under such a situation, no one dared to chase after the Blood Demon; they only watched blankly as the heavily injured Blood Demon fled.

After this battle, the team gained some points and a high-ranked Demon Core. These were quite valuable.

However, the price for obtaining these were too high. No one felt happy about it. Five people were heavily injured and could not fight for at least three days. The others were all injured to a certain degree as well.

Only Xiao Chen was unscathed. Everyone felt very fatigued; they could only let this day draw to a close.

When Wu Quan looked at the dispirited team, his heart sank. The price was too heavy.

Xiao Chen was right; they were not ready for the inner area. They could not even manage the borders of the inner area. There was a very, very clear difference in strength.

“Xingteng, dig out the Demon Core, and let’s get out of this place quickly. It is too dangerous. We should return to the outpost islets.”

Wu Quan collected his thoughts and stopped reproaching himself. He checked on the team’s injuries before instructing Ping Xingteng.

Ping Xingteng had an unsightly expression on his face as he sighed. Then, he went over to the high-ranked Blood Demon.

Just as Xiao Chen was taking care of an injured team member, he suddenly frowned. Someone is coming.

The thing that Xiao Chen worried about the most still happened in the end.

“He he! We are very lucky today. Right after we finished our battle, we run into some fattened lambs. Leave the high-ranked Blood Demon corpse behind and you may leave!”

Suddenly, a team of seven or eight people came over from a hundred meters away. The person leading them was a middle-aged swordsman. He had a sinister gaze and a long and narrow face.

This person emitted a strong aura. Furthermore, this person caused the scarlet water of the sea to churn and splash up in all directions.

As a swordsman, Wu Quan felt a heavy pressure. He revealed an astonished expression. Unexpectedly, this person was a half-step Martial Monarch swordsman.

Ping Xingteng had just dug out the Demon Core. He shouted angrily, “We have killed this Blood Demon after so much effort. Why should we give it to you?!”

The swordsman’s gaze turned frosty as he smiled coldly, “Very good, you are trying to negotiate with me. Now, not only do you have to hand over the high-ranked Blood Demon Core, you have to leave behind all your spatial rings. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving this place.”

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

The people behind the swordsman immediately drew their weapons and glared maliciously at the group. Everyone became anxious.

Wu Quan’s team revealed expressions of dissatisfaction. They should not have come to the inner area. After working so hard to kill a Blood Demon, not only would they not get to keep it, even the fortune that they had saved up would be taken away.

“You! Hand it over!”

The swordsman took two steps forward and grabbed at the high-ranked Demon Core in Ping Xingteng’s hands.

Ping Xingteng cursed, “Screw you and your mother. I nearly died to obtained this. There is no way I’m giving this to you.”

Ping Xingteng immediately drew his saber and hacked down at the swordsman with an overwhelming saber light.

“You overestimate yourself!”

Seeing the imprudent Ping Xingteng, the swordsman roared ferociously and stomped on the scarlet sea. Water immediately soared up and the sea turned rough.

Ping Xingteng could not find stable footing and his attack deviated to the left of the swordsman’s left.

“Xiu!”

A bright light flashed as the swordsman drew his sword. The sword light tore through the water as it sent Ping Xingteng’s saber flying.

The sword trembled and hummed as it pierced the scarlet water and stabbed towards Ping Xingteng’s chest.

The swordsman was fast, accurate, and ruthless!

“Dang!”

Wu Quan rushed forward and pushed Ping Xingteng away. Then he used his great sword to block this attack.

A surging sword Qi came from the swords, making Wu Quan’s internal organs churn. He could taste something sweet in his mouth as he nearly vomited blood.

Wu Quan forcibly suppressed the blood before saying, “Senior, you can take away the high-ranked Demon Core, and I will give you another one thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Will you let us go first?”

“Who exactly are you? You are not qualified to talk conditions with me. If you are too weak, then stay out of the inner area.”

The swordsman snorted coldly and pressed his sword forward. A huge force poured into Wu Quan’s body and he could no longer endure. He vomited a mouthful of blood before being knocked back.
