Demon Sect Cultivation: I Can Disable Debuffs

Chapter 31



Zhang Chen took two steps and came to the side of the rat demon.

The rat demon had temporarily lost its vision and sense of smell because of the smoke. It did not realize that the enemy had already arrived beside it and was still spinning around in place.

Zhang Chen slashed at the rat demon’s paws, intending to first immobilize it.

He wanted to capture the demon beast and take its blood for confinement, so he could only injure it and not kill it.

“Thud…”

“Squeak!”

One of the rat demon’s back paws was cut off, and it let out a miserable scream.

Zhang Chen didn’t stop his actions and made another slash.

This time, it was the front paw on the same side.

“Thud…”

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

With the loss of a front and rear paw, the Rat Demon could not maintain balance and fell to the ground, constantly screaming.

A perfect hunt.

Looking at the rat demon that had lost its mobility, Zhang Chen smiled and took out his beast breeding bag.

He aimed the breeding bag at the Rat Demon and opened it, injecting spiritual power.

The breeding bag produced a suction force, sucking the Rat Demon into it.

As his consciousness entered the breeding bag, Zhang Chen discovered that the black mist pervading the breeding bag had a soporific effect on demon beasts. In just a moment, the rat demon had fallen unconscious.

However, this was normal. If the demon beast wasn’t rendered unconscious, the breeding bag wouldn’t withstand the beast’s thrashing.

“The sect mission is considered completed. Let’s continue looking for demon beasts. It’s best if I can fill up the two beast breeding bags.”

As Zhang Chen was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and became alert, because three figures were rapidly approaching from afar.

As the distance narrowed, Zhang Chen also got a clear look at the appearance of the three individuals.

A young man at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, a burly middle-aged man at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, and an old man at the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

Judging from their attire, they should be three itinerant cultivators.

The three of them stopped not far away. They glanced at the bloodstains and severed limbs on the ground, understanding that the battle had ended, and then fixed their gaze on Zhang Chen.

They were attracted by the thick smoke and wanted to see if they could get something cheap.

If possible, they would also rob and kill other cultivators.

Previously, when they saw Zhang Chen alone, the three of them were tempted to make a move.

However, when they got closer and noticed that Zhang Chen was wearing the clothes of the Blood God Sect, he did not attack.

Zhang Chen looked wary, holding a blood knife in his hand and ready to strike at any moment.

“What do you think? Should we attack?” the young man used telepathy to ask the other two.

The burly man shook his head and replied, “Forget it. This Blood God Sect disciple is not injured. It will be troublesome for us to take him down.”

Killing a Blood God Sect disciple would result in a blood curse, but that didn’t mean there was no way to resolve it.

The most common method was to use demon beasts to kill disciples of the Blood God Sect.

For example, severely injuring the disciples of the Blood God Sect before attracting the demon beasts and letting them kill the disciples.

In this way, the ones who killed the disciples of the Blood God Sect were demon beasts. Naturally, the blood curse would not fall on them.

The old man among the three revealed a benevolent smile. “So it turns out that you’re a fellow disciple of the Blood God Sect. We came to check on this place because we saw thick smoke rising from here. Since you’re okay, we’ll take our leave.”

Zhang Chen did not say anything and continued to stare at the three of them warily.

The three of them did not care and turned to leave.

They came and left quickly.

After the three of them had gone far away, Zhang Chen’s tense nerves relaxed somewhat.

He knew that encountering other cultivators was often more dangerous than encountering demon beasts.

Since the smoke attracted these three, it’s possible that it could also attract others. I’d better leave this place quickly, Zhang Chen thought.

He looked in the direction the three had left and went in the opposite direction.

Along the way, Zhang Chen was very careful, guarding against demon beasts and other cultivators.

From the map, the area of the Demon Beast Mountain Range was at least a few hundred kilometers. The deeper he went, the more powerful the demon beasts he would encounter.

For safety reasons, Zhang Chen did not venture too deep into the Demon Beast Mountain Range and stayed within a 50-mile radius.

After all, this was his first time hunting demon beasts, and safety came first. It did not matter if he could catch a few demon beasts. He would treat it as increasing his experience.

At the same time, it was also to avoid getting into a bitter battle with powerful demonic beasts and being taken advantage of by others.

At night, Zhang Chen meditated and rested on a big tree.

Other than that rat demon, he did not encounter another demon beast that day.

“Awoooo~”

“Roar!”

“Pu, pu. pu…”

The Demon Beast Mountain Range was very lively at night. The cries and roars of wild beasts rose and fell.

In the darkness, pairs of ghostly green eyes floated everywhere like ghost flames, densely packed and drifting everywhere.

An ordinary person would likely be frightened to death.

The next day, Zhang Chen continued to search for demon beasts, but he did not encounter any.

On the third day, he still did not encounter any demon beasts.

Having gained nothing for two consecutive days, Zhang Chen could not help but start to think. Should I venture deeper into the Demon Beast Mountain Range?

“No, I don’t lack cultivation resources. There’s no need to work so hard. Others travel in groups. I’ll be easily targeted if I’m alone.”

Zhang Chen frowned and continued to ponder. Then he thought of a possibility.

Wild beasts had a keen sense of smell, let alone demon beasts.

Could it be because of his scent?

Perhaps the demon beasts smelled his scent and avoided him.

The more Zhang Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He lived in the Blood God Sect, which was shrouded in a bloody mist, and he often drank demon blood. His body emitted a distinct bloody scent.

Having lived in the sect with a strong bloody scent for so long, he was accustomed to it and did not think anything was wrong with the scent. In fact, he even found it pleasant.

However, in the nose of demon beasts, it was like a beacon in the dark.

“Let’s give it a try.”

Zhang Chen smeared mud all over his body to mask his scent.

After covering himself in mud, Zhang Chen began to search for demon beasts in the mountains.

Whether it was luck or the effectiveness of the mud covering, he finally encountered a demon beast.

This was a deer demon at the second level of Qi Refinement, drinking water by the stream.

Relying on the speed boost from the Blood Burst Technique, Zhang Chen suddenly approached, and before the frightened deer demon could react, he chopped off its two hooves and put it into his beast breeding bag.

“Not bad. That’s the second one. Let’s continue.”

With the joy of his capture, Zhang Chen continued to search for demon beasts.

Perhaps masking his scent really worked, as he found another demon beast at night.

More accurately, this demon beast was chasing its prey and passing under the tree where he was resting.

Faced with the gift of a demon beast, Zhang Chen would not let it go.

With Zhang Chen’s strength, any demon beast below level eight Qi Refinement, as long as they didn’t have special abilities, could be easily dealt with.

The tenfold speed boost from Blood Burst Technique made it difficult for most demon beasts to escape.

However, there were flaws in masking his scent with mud.

Due to his body temperature, the mud on his body dried and hardened. This was not only uncomfortable but also limited his movement.

Until he found another way to mask his scent, he could only keep watering himself or reapplying mud.

Zhang Chen had been in the Demon Beast Mountain Range for five days and had captured three demon beasts.

That day, as usual, he searched for traces of demon beasts.

“What a strong smell of blood!”

Zhang Chen stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction where the smell came from.
