Chapter 87: Battle Against the Third-Order Ancient Spirit Beast
Chen Yan walked with quiet steps; the further he walked, the more depressed his heart felt.
He had thought himself someone who had already experienced many setbacks.
But he at least had some hope; these people, from the moment they were captured and brought to this place, had long since lost any hope at all.
Chu Feiyuan had killed far too easily, after all.
Finally, they arrived at the end of the Stone Grotto.
A layer of blood-smeared glass blocked the path forward for Chen Yan and the others.
Si Wenyi's gaze suddenly shrank, while the White-Robed Man's expression became wooden.
Every time he saw it, he would become wooden.
If one lived in such a scene and could still retain a human heart, one would not be able to survive.
Yet, just separated by a pane of glass, the Mountain Cave on the other side was like the Avici Hell.
The four walls and the ground were stained with blood, a shocking sight.
The heads of the young were piled like a mountain, resembling a terrifying altar.
Those pairs of hollow eyes and pale faces seemed to be silently accusing the world of its Evil.
"Mother, save me, save me..."
A Little Girl was huddled in a corner, her eyes full of fear and despair.
And in the Darkness on the other side, a hunched Elder was pushing a cart, on which lay a Little Boy who had already fainted.
The Elder saw Chen Yan and the others, startled for a moment, but then lowered his head again and began to work.
Pushing the cart to the front of the Stone Grotto, he took out a Kaishi and opened a door flush with the ground.
Inside was a constantly moving Chuansong Lüdai; he only needed to place the boy inside.
"Stop!"
Si Wenyi pulled out a Spear and aimed it at the Elder's head.
"He needs to eat," the Elder said to himself, walking toward the Little Boy:
"One is not enough to eat; two are required."
His gaze was turbid, and he didn't care at all whether Si Wenyi and the others were strangers or how they had arrived here.
Sending the children in every day was his job.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out; Si Wenyi fired, and the Elder's head jerked violently, yet he continued to crawl up.
"Jidan Realm Peak!" Si Wenyi's gaze shrank.
Bang, bang, bang!
Several more shots were fired.
The next moment, the gloomy-faced White-Robed Man suddenly lunged at the Elder, a Long Blade appearing in his hand from nowhere, which he stabbed toward the Elder's face.
"Die, just die!!!"
He swung the blade continuously as if mad, but the Elder didn't seem to notice him, struggling as he crawled toward the Little Boy.
"I have begged you thousands of times, tens of thousands of times; why do you not resist? You could clearly have saved them!" the White-Robed Man swung the blade in a state of madness:
"You bunch of Beasts, even that Beast Zhou Jian would send his own daughter in!"
"The Spirit needs to eat; one is not enough, two are needed," the Elder said woodenly.
At the same time, Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and leaned close to the glass in front of him.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Sounds of air explosions rang out within the Shidong; although there was only the girl and a pile of corpses inside, Chen Yan's eyes narrowed.
He could see that within this Stone Grotto, there was clearly an object moving at ultra-high speed.
Just in that instant, it had locked eyes with Chen Yan at close range through the glass dozens of times.
Even through the glass, that Malice from a living being was thick enough to be shocking.
It was as if a Blood Sea had enveloped a person.
It was no wonder that, living in this place, people would become numb.
"Mother, Mother, where are you..."
Inside the Stone Grotto, the girl was crying, helpless to the extreme.
Chen Yan's eyes moved closer and closer.
Suddenly!
In a certain moment, he locked eyes with a pair of cyan pupils.
These pupils radiated a cyan-green color, while deep within them were engraved mysterious and bizarre secret texts.
Within the Po Saint Realm, a terrifying Yellow light appeared!
Array!
Formation Energy!
Chen Yan's gaze tightened.
He felt the Malice from the ancient past rushing toward him in an instant.
This was a youth of extremely handsome appearance, his whole body wrapped in a layer of pitch-black exoskeleton.
On both sides of his cheeks, cyan Scales were arranged in an orderly fashion, like ancient secret runes.
He just floated in the air like this, locking eyes with Chen Yan.
"You are strong," the youth said indifferently, while a ferocious Smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I really want to eat you!"
He licked his lips, his eyes radiating the most primitive Malice.
"This is... a Tier 3 Ancient Divine Beast!" Si Wenyi's Mu Guang narrowed.
A Tier 3 Ancient Divine Beast corresponds to the Unity Realm of a Horizontal Refinement Martial Artist, and corresponds to the Golden Body Realm of a Qi-Blood Warrior.
Moreover, this Ancient Divine Beast can move at high speed continuously, to the point where one cannot even see its figure clearly.
The ancient intent condensed within its Frost Mo, which possesses displacement abilities, very likely transcends Tier 3!
"The Chu Family... the Chu Family is actually cultivating this kind of Ancient Divine Beast!" The sense of horror in Si Wenyi's eyes reached its peak.
If the Chu Family were truly to succeed in cultivating it, then whoever's hands this Ancient Divine Beast's eyes fell into would possess a great weapon of mass destruction!
As Si Wenyi thought this, she saw Chen Yan already walking alone toward the conveyor belt transporting the young boys and girls.
"Chen Yan!" Si Wenyi spoke, and at this moment, she could not help but grab Chen Yan's sleeve.
That is a Tier 3 Ancient Divine Beast!
Yet, the moment she met Chen Yan's Frost Mo, Si Wenyi let go of his sleeve.
It was truly... truly impossible to stop him.
She lowered her head and began sending a message to Shen Yiwei.
"The Lord wants to eat..."
Above the ground, the Elder was still being continuously stabbed by the White-Robed Man, yet a glimmer of determination emerged in his murky eyes; no matter what, he had to send the unconscious Xiaonan Hai into the Lord's Mouth.
Yet, at this very moment.
With a 'pop' sound.
Chen Yan grabbed the back of the other party's Neck, and the Elder lifted his head in confusion, looking at the Youth with an incomparably handsome appearance.
"I will take you to see your Lord."
Chen Yan spoke, and the Elder's Mu Guang suddenly shrank as he was lifted by Chen Yan and tossed onto the conveyor belt.
"No!!!" The Elder roared, just about to struggle.
Yet he saw the Black-Clothed Youth jump down, step on his Crown, and enter the Stone Grotto together with him.
"Ah Ah Ah!!!!"
A Scream of extreme terror resounded, and the Elder with murky Frost Mo fell off the conveyor belt and into the Stone Grotto.
He was terrified to the extreme, his body trembling violently.
His face was twisted by extreme fear, like a painting wantonly kneaded by a Demon.
"Lord, Lord spare me!!!"
The Elder knelt down, not daring to lift his head.
And beside him, Chen Yan stood quietly.
Streams of air surged from his side; the Green-Eyed Ancient Divine Beast was currently shuttling through the space, drawing Black Lines all around Chen Yan.
Fast!
Fast to the extreme!
In the distance, the girl who was still wailing looked blankly at Chen Yan; at this moment, she opened her Mouth, hugged her body tightly, and trembled continuously.
It seemed that the handsome Brother had come to save her.
She did not dare to take a Breath, did not dare to make a sound, and did not dare to disturb the other party.
"I didn't expect you to really dare to come in."
The Ancient Divine Beast's voice rang out within the Stone Grotto; the Ferociousness in its voice disappeared, and at this moment, it carried a hint of excitement.
"You are very strong; I can feel that you are very strong. You possess a will that can ignore my Malice. The more this is so, the stronger you will become once I transform you!"
It spoke as if intoxicated:
"I even smell a trace of the Ancient God's benevolence on you. He gave all the Malice to me and gave the benevolence to you."
The handsome-looking Green Pupil youth suddenly appeared before Chen Yan and extended his hand:
"Accept my transformation; escape this place, and we will become Supreme."
Chen Yan's brows lifted slightly, and before he could speak, the Elder who was still kneeling on the ground beside him lifted his head and grabbed the Ancient Divine Beast's Foot:
"Lord, transform me, transform me, I am your..."
"Get lost!"
A hiss of extreme anger rang out; the Ancient Divine Beast roared with Ferociousness and kicked out with its Foot.
Bang!
The Elder's Brain exploded instantly.
