Chapter Seven, The Bleeding Wound

Second Master truly deserves to be a figure who commands great respect across the Jiangbei region; I fear that even the chief leader of the northern mountain stronghold may not be as formidable.

Jiang Han also entered the inner courtyard with his father

The demon beasts, each possessing terrifying strength, are all formidable creatures. Those that can be referred to as great demons are undeniably fearsome, each capable of rivaling the martial sovereigns of the human race. This time, several top-tier great demons have been slain

This year's demon beast essence can be refined in large quantities, and the scale of the sacrificial ceremony appears to be the largest in nearly a decade said Jiang Tong, the deputy commander of the mountain villa's guard, with a hearty laugh

If possible, it would be best to use the blood of the innate demon king to baptize Han'er; unfortunately, I am useless and cannot obtain such treasures. Jiang Zheng continued, "However, whether it is that snake demon or the iron rhinoceros, they are only a step away from the demon king, comparable to the perfection of a martial sect. Having their blood to baptize Han'er would not be much inferior to that of the innate demon king."

As the setting sun descends, the Jiang family villa leads into the depths of the northern mountain range among the forests.

"Cold child." Jiang Zheng lowered his head, extended his hand, and gently stroked Jiang Han's head

Qin Wei's head rested against her husband's chest as she set down the medication

In the darkness of the night, the lights in the room quietly extinguished

These demon beasts are undoubtedly among the strongest of their kind, and ordinary martial artists from the mountain villages do not dare to approach them. In the past, attempting to hunt them would often require one to pay with their life.

Unlike the white attire he wore in the past at the villa, Jiang Zheng is now dressed in a set of soft green armor

Jiang Zheng also smiled, while Jiang Han was perceptive and understood many things with just a hint, requiring no further explanation from him

That is because you have only encountered a snake demon that has not yet transformed into a dragon. What would happen if you were to encounter a demon king of the innate realm? Qin Wei's eyes were glistening with tears

When we were pursuing the iron rhinoceros, we encountered the people from the Mu family village, who attempted to rob us. As a result, Second Master defeated their so-called three heroes of the Mu family with a single strike.

The great serpent of this world is entirely a different concept from the jungle serpent of Earth in a previous life; this is a true demon, surpassing imagination in both power and agility

Father. Jiang Han nodded

... ...

Father hopes that I can perform as well as possible Jiang Han lay on the bed and then slowly closed his eyes

As a father, Jiang Zheng naturally hopes that Jiang Han's talent will be as strong as possible

Father is truly formidable. Jiang Han gazed at his tall father in the distance. Even though his father had concealed his aura, he still sensed an unfathomable presence, pondering in his heart: Is this the Martial Sovereign? A single person can slay a ten-zhang long serpent demon, even in the water?

These great demons are used in the grand sacrificial ceremony

In this world, venturing out to hunt is a gamble with one's life

In a few days, it will be the Grand Ancestral Ceremony, during which children of the appropriate age will undergo a bloodline talent baptism to assess their cultivation potential. You will also need to participate at that time said Jiang Zheng with a smile

"Did I not come back? I just sustained a minor injury, it's nothing to worry about," Jiang Zheng said with a gentle smile, reassuring his wife.

"Zheng Ge." Qin Wei held some medication in her hand, gently wiping Jiang Zheng's back, her eyes slightly reddened: "The Beixing Mountain Range is the most dangerous place in the entire Hong City. It's one thing to stay on the outskirts, but how could you bring the guards into the core area? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is inside?"

On the watchtower of the high walls of the villa, the patrolling warrior sounded the alarm bell, conveying a message to the entire estate

Getting out of bed, Jiang Han quietly approached the door of his parents' room, which was not fully closed. Through a small gap, he could just see the scene inside the room

Hundreds of tall and muscular men dressed in tight-fitting attire emerged successively from the dense forest, each wielding battle knives and powerful crossbows, engaging in carefree conversations and discussions among themselves

In the Jiang family villa, six-year-old children are tested to determine whether they possess the talent for cultivation. After all, the resources of the villa are limited, and training can only be conducted to varying degrees based on the level of talent.

Qin Weiwei was taken aback

As a father, there is only so much I can do, Jiang Zheng said with self-deprecation

After all, in this world, no matter how powerful the authority of elders may be, to earn the genuine respect of others, one must rely on oneself

Behind Jiang Zheng, there is a strikingly visible wound; however, the wound is tightly held by the muscles, and no blood is flowing out anymore

"Weier, Han'er is six years old now and is about to undergo the bloodline baptism," Jiang Zheng said softly. "Only the blood of sufficiently powerful demon beasts can fully stimulate his talents."

As she spoke, tears glimmered in Qin Wei's eyes. Jiang Zheng hurriedly stood up and embraced his wife, saying: "Wei'er, I promise you, this is the last time. I will never engage in such risky actions again in the future"

The gate of the villa was opened, and many of the martial artists who remained in the villa also went up to assist.

There is also the enormous python that is almost transformed into a flood dragon, living in the Dragon Flame Marsh, dominating it. If it can advance further and transform into a true flood dragon, it would become a genuine demon king, comparable to the innate powerhouses among the human race

Late at night

Jiang Han opened his eyes, gently shook his head, and through the window, he noticed that the crystal lamp in his parents' room was still lit.

Father, what is Mother doing? Why aren't they asleep yet? Jiang Han felt puzzled, as his parents usually went to bed early.

The main altar has been opened

Since the age of two, he has been sleeping in a separate room from his parents

She is usually very gentle, but when it comes to the life and death of her husband, she becomes anxious: "If anything happens to you, what will happen to me and Han'er? Have you forgotten what happened back then? So many years have passed, and the core area of the Northern Mountain Range must surely be home to the Demon King."

For instance, the iron rhinoceros, with a skin thickness of half a meter, has a body resembling a small mountain, typically occupying a corner of the forest, living freely and dominating its territory. At this moment, however, its abdomen has been inflicted with a massive wound.

"Hmm, Father, I will do my best," Jiang Han nodded

The Demon King, comparable to the innate powerhouses of the human race, is not something an ordinary Martial Sovereign can contend with

Everyone was laughing and chatting, and the robust man, Jiang Zheng, who was carrying the massive body of the iron rhinoceros, became the center of attention

Everyone started to laugh

Master Er single-handedly slayed the great python in Longyan Lake, his cold blade unsheathed, exuding unparalleled might

"Zheng Ge." Qin Wei tightly embraced her husband

The guardsmen who entered the mountain have returned

"For my sake, my father risked his life to enter the core area of the Northern Mountain Range?" Jiang Han murmured to himself, "No wonder my father led the team to hunt only on the outskirts of the mountains in previous years; it was only this year that he ventured into the core area of the Northern Mountain Range and even fought against those top-tier great demons."

Having hunted so many demon beasts, it seems that this year we will be able to refine a considerable amount of demon beast essence. The effect of the winter sacrificial ceremony will be quite remarkable, and most importantly, no one has been injured.

Having arrived in this world for several years, Jiang Han has also come to understand

Numerous powerful beast corpses were placed on the enormous altar, piled together, and a strong stench of blood permeated the air. Only then was the main hall's door closed once again

On the shoulders of each of them, they were almost dragging or carrying the corpse of a gigantic monster

At this moment, the soldiers in the guard dispersed and returned to their respective homes

The guardsmen of the estate ventured deep into the Northern Xing Mountains for autumn hunting, and after a full three days, they have returned today

Jiang Han returned to his own bed

Soon, the women and children who had been anxiously waiting at home rushed out from their respective houses to the training ground at the village gate. As they watched the approaching procession, smiles appeared on their faces, for everyone had returned safely

This is all just for him, to obtain sufficiently powerful demon beast essence blood for the baptism.

It is all thanks to Second Brother, who led us deep into the core area of the Northern Mountain Range, charging into the vicinity of Longyan Lake, and ultimately slaying a large number of demon beasts

Ordinary demon beasts can be slain by common martial artists, but for great demons, even those who are powerful martial sect masters must risk their lives to fight
