Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Battle Tiger Squad

“Profound Snake Blood Ore?”

Xu Yang was stunned, but seeing Wuo Changyuan and Wuo Ling’s violent reaction, he instantly understood that this vein was likely even more precious than he had imagined.

You have to know, Wuo Changyuan is a Yin Realm Martial Artist, with a high-ranking position as a captain in the Wudao Army, and he’s also a direct descendant of the Kunwu Division.

If it can make him react like this, it says everything!

He slowly crouched down, spreading his five fingers, forcefully pried off a piece of irregular rhomboid crystal. The touch was icy cold, and inside was a conspicuous swirl of blood mist writhing about, with a faint outline resembling a small snake.

After a slight sense, Xu Yang’s eyes filled with shock— with his current strength, he could only barely absorb the power contained within.

“Heavens, there’s more below.”

“Such a huge Profound Snake Blood Ore deposit, the Kunwu Division’s power will soar!”

“Captain, we’ve struck gold!”

Wuo Ling had completely lost her composure.

Wuo Changyuan was so excited he was incoherent.

“Just what is this Profound Snake Blood Ore?” Xu Yang asked curiously.

Only then did Wuo Changyuan look at Xu Yang, swallowing hard, and said, “Mr. Xu, you’ve made a tremendous contribution; Profound Snake Blood Ore is the Barbarian Race’s most precious, unique mineral, capable of greatly enhancing Barbarian patterns and bloodline power!”

“If added to the Blood Beast Elixir, the effects of the pill can be doubled.”

The simple effects of Blood Ore alone are already extremely valuable.

But if refined into Blood Beast Elixir, it’s even more astonishing.

Xu Yang’s whole body trembled, finally realizing just how precious this Blood Ore was.

He’d eaten Blood Beast Elixirs before.

A single third-tier one was already a great benefit for cultivation!

Merging it with Blood Ore would double the effect?

Hiss!

Xu Yang couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Looking at the densely packed Blood Ore stones before him, his eyes burned with a deep, fervent hunger.

Wuo Changyuan’s body shifted, heading to the depth of the cave to inspect carefully.

Soon, his face was beaming: “At least a medium-sized Blood Ore vein; there’s more beyond the stone wall below. The last time a deposit of this scale was found was decades ago.”

“It’s been a century since a large Blood Ore was discovered.”

“We must notify the chief immediately!”

Xu Yang glanced at Wuo Changyuan, saying, “Let Wuo Ling return to report.”

He wanted to study the Blood Ore first.

He still had dozens of Blood Beast Elixir ingredients on him.

“Wuo Ling, you head back now… What’s that?” Wuo Changyuan was halfway through his words when his gaze narrowed, and with a sweep of his sleeve a bolt of True Essence shot out like lightning, smashing into the cave entrance.

BANG!

A tiny insect exploded.

Wuo Changyuan’s face instantly darkened: “Ghost-winged Insect, it’s from the Guo Wen Division!”

Guo Wen Division?

Xu Yang’s face fell—how did the Guo Wen Division spot them?

They’d been extremely cautious the whole way and hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

“Damn it, these insects are almost unnoticeable—there’s an elite team from the Guo Wen Division nearby.”

WAA!!

Dogzi suddenly let out a savage, threatening screech at the entrance, as if sensing danger. Finally, he leapt off Wuo Ling’s bosom and landed on Xu Yang’s shoulder, staring deathly at the cave mouth.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

Several figures flashed into appearance at the cave entrance like bolts of lightning.

Five people in total.

The middle-aged Barbarian leader swept his eyes over and his pupils immediately shrank, breath turning rapid.

“Profound Snake Blood Ore, hiss!”

“It’s actually a Profound Snake Blood Ore deposit, hahaha, heaven truly favors our Guo Wen Division!”

“With so much Profound Snake Blood Ore, our Demon Ape Army’s strength will surge and completely suppress the Kunwu Division!”

All five were shaking with excitement, eyes bloodshot.

“It’s the Battle Tiger Squad!”

Wuo Ling retreated to her companions, facing a grave enemy, her face heavy with tension.

Damn!

Wuo Changyuan nearly ground his teeth to powder and his eyes blazed with fury!

He whipped a wild gaze at Xu Yang and snarled in madness, “Mr. Xu, this is the Battle Tiger Squad of the Guo Wen Division’s Demon Ape Army! They’re only a bit weaker than Guo Jin’s squad, but still not to be underestimated; Captain Battle Tiger is at least as strong as me—Wuo Ling and I will fight desperately to hold them off, you escape to notify the chief!”

“No matter what, we absolutely cannot let the Profound Snake Blood Ore fall into Guo Wen Division’s hands!”

After all, they’d found it first.

This sudden Battle Tiger Squad drove Wuo Changyuan to madness—he’d rather die than let the enemy get their hands on it.

Wuo Ling stared in shock at Wuo Changyuan. She wasn’t afraid to risk her life, but she was stunned he wanted Xu Yang to escape—who was he really?

“No!”

Xu Yang shook his head.

Wuo Changyuan paused, about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Yang.

“Let Wuo Ling escape, my strength is greater than hers!”

“And Dogzi’s not weak either. Don’t forget my abilities.”

“You two go first, hold them off for a while—I’ll refine the Blood Beast Elixir!”

Xu Yang spoke at lightning speed.

He was even more clear-headed than Wuo Changyuan.

Escaping alone is actually more dangerous.

If they want the Guo Wen Division truly left in the dark, the best result is to leave these five enemy here—forever!

Three versus five?

Who says there’s no chance of victory?

Of their five, only one is Yin Realm!

Though Wuo Ling is weak, Dogzi can handle a True Void Realm Perfection; even if he loses, he can hold on!

“This…” Wuo Changyuan’s eyes widened, thinking Xu Yang must be crazy.

But on second thought, maybe not impossible.

Blood Beast Elixir…

Even just third-tier, but merged with Profound Snake Blood Ore, he can enhance his strength too.

Wuo Ling was even more dumbstruck, thinking she must have misheard.

Alchemy?

He’s an Alchemist?

Can he really make Blood Beast Elixir?

How is that possible?

Too unbelievable, seemed utterly fantastical!

But Wuo Changyuan’s reaction made her involuntarily swallow.

No wonder he was so valued!

“Wuo Changyuan, didn’t expect you’d give me such a magnificent surprise!”

Battle Tiger snapped out of his excitement and mocked Wuo Changyuan: “Your luck’s run out. What a pity!”

“With this vein, from now on, our Guo Wen Division’s Demon Ape Army will crush the Wudao Army!”

“Kunwu Division will never be able to compete with Guo Wen Division again!”

“Arrogant fool!”

Wuo Changyuan roared in fury.

At this scene, Xu Yang took one step back, snapping, “Hold them off!”

In this situation, even escaping is almost impossible—the only choice is to fight to the death!

Might as well try Xu Yang’s way!

“Kill!”

Wuo Changyuan shot forward, aura flaring full—True Essence burning, as if throwing his life on the line.

Wuo Ling followed closely, eyes blazing, already resolved to face death itself!

“Dogzi, go! Be careful!”

Xu Yang patted Dogzi.

WAA WAA!!

Dogzi blasted out like lightning, speed not much slower than Wuo Changyuan.

“Fools courting death!”

“To die buried with Profound Snake Blood Ore, even you, Wuo Changyuan, should be proud!”

“Kill them!”

Battle Tiger grinned fiendishly and charged ahead.

At the cave edge, the battle erupted instantly.

Wuo Changyuan tangled with Battle Tiger, Wuo Ling locked the weakest of the True Void Middle Stage in combat.

The remaining three—one Late Stage True Void, two True Void Perfection!

Dogzi darted and dodged, drawing the fire of three enemies.

At this moment—

Xu Yang turned his back, feeding pieces of Blood Ore into the divine cauldron one after another.

All the Blood Beast Elixir spirit herbs went in at once.

Time was running out.

Xu Yang held nothing back and drew forth all his power to drive the cauldron.

His alchemy speed would make Wuo Huai weep and Liou Yunfeng’s mind explode.

Ten breaths!

A single batch, five pills!

The Blood Beast Elixirs infused with Blood Ore showed clearly different characteristics from before.

Denser blood light, and on the surface, besides a mark of superior pill lines, there was a vivid little snake floating—like a brand!

Xu Yang’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and hearing the grunts of pain behind him, he didn’t hesitate, stowed away the cauldron, and turned to rush out.

One batch is enough!

In just ten breaths, both Wuo Ling and her opponent were already injured.

Wuo Changyuan was being suppressed by Battle Tiger!

But Dogzi, thanks to his shocking speed, was still unharmed!

“Catch the pill!”

Xu Yang roared, flicking his sleeve; three Blood Beast Elixirs shot out toward his two companions and Dogzi simultaneously.
