Chapter 830: Eighth Hundred and Seventy-Fourth Chapter: A Heaven-Shaking Mutation

Watching death approach, the three of them—Kuai Yan and his companions—did not show the slightest fear on their faces.

Only they themselves knew how painful the past sixteen years had been.

To them, death felt more like a release.

Just as Kuai Yan and the others thought they were about to die, they discovered they were being taken out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate.

The three looked at each other, a trace of astonishment appearing on all their faces.

"Where are you taking us?" Kuai Yan asked, questioning them.

"Shut up!"

Gu Tianshou barked coldly, his mood extremely volatile.

Granny Mad Dragon never called him Tianshou; she had always called him Little Gu.

Added to that was the fact that Granny Mad Dragon had suddenly ordered him to take Kuai Yan—the three people connected to Ye Lin—and the Heaven-Swallowing Beast outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate.

These pieces of information led Gu Tianshou to deduce an extremely terrifying conclusion.

That was... it was highly likely that something had happened to Granny Mad Dragon!

But how could this be? Granny Mad Dragon was a powerhouse at the Enlightenment Realm, the first stage of the four changes of the Laws. Could it be that Ye Lin still had a second drop of Saint's essence blood in his hands?

Gu Tianshou and several disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate escorted the three people and one beast, heading straight toward the location of Granny Mad Dragon and Ye Lin.

At this moment, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast Bai San had not yet realized the gravity of the situation and was still lying lazily in the cage.

It was not until he sensed a familiar aura drawing closer and closer that Bai San suddenly raised his head in alarm.

And when a kind, smiling face appeared in his line of sight.

"Meow!"

Bai San abruptly activated his Spined Dragon form, reacting instinctively to the stress.

"Meow! Meow, meow, meow!"

Hearing Bai San's sharp cries, Gu Tianshou looked at him with some confusion.

Ever since he had recaptured the Heaven-Swallowing Beast, Gu Tianshou had felt that there was something different about it compared to before.

At first, he thought it must be because the Heaven-Swallowing Beast had signed a contract with Ye Lin, and that he just needed to kill Ye Lin, the master.

But now, looking at it, why was the Heaven-Swallowing Beast's first reaction upon seeing its master, Ye Lin, one of such terror?

What on earth had this guy Ye Lin done to the cute Heaven-Swallowing Beast?

"Don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you from the hands of that animal Ye Lin!"

Gu Tianshou began to comfort the Heaven-Swallowing Beast, but how could the beast listen? It was Bai San's soul inside that body right now.

When Granny Mad Dragon had attacked the Yi Hong Zoo, he had been the first to surrender; Bai San knew very well what fate awaited him if he fell back into Ye Lin's hands.

He had thought that staying at the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate would be perfectly safe; after all, the sect was full of experts, and Ye Lin surely wouldn't dare to step foot there easily.

But he never imagined that one day he would be personally brought before Ye Lin by the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate.

It's over!

It's all over!

A look of despair appeared in Bai San's eyes.

Compared to the despairing Bai San, the moment Kuai Yan and his two companions saw Ye Lin, they were first pleasantly surprised, but then their faces were filled with astonishment.

Because they actually saw that high and mighty Granny Mad Dragon, who in their eyes was incomparably formidable, now lying before Ye Lin like a stray dog.

Granny Mad Dragon was covered in wounds and looked to have suffered significant injuries.

"Big Brother... you're awesome!" Zhen Youqian, dragging his weak body, gave Ye Lin a thumbs-up.

"Are we... about to die, so we're hallucinating?" Kuai Yan said, finding it hard to believe.

He knew Ye Lin was strong, but surely he couldn't be strong enough to beat Granny Mad Dragon to a pulp?

"Rest assured, you are still alive."

Seeing that the three of them were indeed still alive, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he saw the miserable state of the three, Ye Lin's gaze instantly turned cold.

It was not hard to imagine that for the past dozen years, the three of them must have lived a life like hell.

"Ye Lin, the people have been brought to you; this farce should be over now, right?" Granny Mad Dragon asked, hiding the malice in her eyes.

"Release them first," Ye Lin said.

"Impossible! If I release... wait, what are you doing? Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Before Granny Mad Dragon could finish her sentence, Ye Lin reached out and gouged out one of her eyeballs.

The blood-dripping eyeball was gently pinched in Ye Lin's hand.

"I'll say it again: release them first. You have one more chance to talk nonsense, because you still have a second eyeball."

Ye Lin's tone was very calm, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

Yet, paired with the eyeball in his hand, it appeared exceptionally chilling.

This scene made everyone watching shudder involuntarily.

Granny Mad Dragon's remaining eye was filled with malice, yet she dared not act out at all.

"Release them!"

Following Granny Mad Dragon's order, the three of them were released by the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate and stumbled toward Ye Lin.

"I'm sorry, I dragged you all into this."

A hint of apology appeared in Ye Lin's eyes.

It was indeed his negligence this time that brought disaster upon Liu Ruyan and the three of them.

If he had known earlier that refining the Human Emperor Flag would take sixteen years, he would have absolutely told them to sell their assets and hide in the Immortal Cloud Sect to avoid the disaster.

"Big Brother! No need to apologize to me! What's a little suffering for Big Brother? You even took down this old hag! Awesome!" The look Zhen Youqian gave Ye Lin was full of admiration.

"This isn't your fault; just pay back the low-grade immortal source stone you owe me sooner."

Kuai Yan reached out his left hand and punched Ye Lin.

Ye Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and began to help Liu Ruyan untie the steel wires piercing her mouth.

This scene of the four reuniting appeared so heartwarming.

Just as Ye Lin untied the last steel wire from the corner of Liu Ruyan's mouth, she suddenly opened a blood-red maw that no human should possess and bit off half of Ye Lin's head.

Zhen Youqian, who had just been looking at Ye Lin with admiration, suddenly had bloodshot eyes; countless maggots crawled out from his body and burrowed into Ye Lin's.

Kuai Yan acted even more decisively, his right hand turning into a sharp claw and instantly piercing Ye Lin's heart!

This change happened extremely suddenly, and even Xue Bingxiao and Lin Muxi were completely caught off guard.

The three of them—Liu Ruyan and the others—all used lethal strikes, aiming to take Ye Lin's life; in the blink of an eye, Ye Lin became a broken corpse.

At this moment, there was not a shred of consciousness in the eyes of Liu Ruyan, Kuai Yan, and Zhen Youqian; there was only scarlet murderous intent, just like bloodthirsty beasts.

"Hahahaha! You little animal! Aren't you dead this time?"

Granny Mad Dragon laughed wantonly; clearly, the sudden change in the three of them had everything to do with her.

Just as Granny Mad Dragon was getting carried away, Ye Lin's cold voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"What did you do to them?"
