Chapter 489: and translation of chapter title

What does it feel like to have a beauty's face the size of a house right in front of you?

Over a thousand men in the magma space were collectively stunned.

They had imagined the scene behind the boulder—even a latrine would make sense—but they never expected it to be a person, and a beauty whose head was larger than a house.

Bu Fan muttered, "A woman this big—her husband couldn't be a mountain god, could he?"

"You scoundrel, actually thinking about male-female love?" Old Man narrowed his eyes, "In my view, making clothes for this woman would be a problem—how much fabric, and what tailor could personally cut it? It's practically divine skill!"

Bu Fan objected, "Damn nonsense—what clothes would a woman this size wear? Even if she walked naked, would she even care what these little chicks think?"

"You're a chick, I can't even say!" Old Man said with a stern face.

Bu Fan spat a curse, then looked at Heng Xian: "What do you think, Elder Xian?"

Heng Xian had been observing the woman's head, feeling an indescribable eeriness and danger closing in, and he blurted, "Look at that ghost—run!"

He took off running downwards.

Bu Fan and Old Man exchanged a glance, then also took off running after him.

The magma stone was small; a few steps brought them to the head, before them lay an endless expanse of magma, leaving the three dumbfounded.

Just then, the huge beauty's face behind the stone at the cave's mouth suddenly approached the opening, her pretty features slowly turning ferocious and twisted, she gave a cackling laugh, and from her black mouth she shot out a blood-red tongue.

"Whoosh—"

The giant tongue writhed like a massive serpent, twisting and coiling as it thrust through the opening.

Over a thousand men finally reacted, all sprinting backward together.

However, the giant tongue's speed was too great; anything flesh and blood in its path was sliced cleanly in half like tofu, blood spraying, corpses falling into the magma and instantly melting.

The scene was too horrifying; the survivors ahead were scared witless, but here there was only a stone path, with limited room to dodge, and the local aura suppressed them, preventing them from unleashing their magic swords to fly.

Thus, a thousand people collided with the stone, turning it into a massive slaughterhouse, with screams and bodies falling from the rocks...

"What a magnificent sight!"

Heng Xian and the two others huddled at the lowest part of the rock, Bu Fan sighed, "This is almost as spectacular as my third uncle's wedding back then!"

Bu Fan's third uncle had been the top talent of the Sun Family in Donglan City, his wedding was extremely grand, but halfway through he was ambushed by a fourth-grade spirit beast that burst out from the deep rear mountains—you can imagine the scene!

Old Man, unaware of the details, instinctively asked, "Your aunt's tongue is still all right, huh!"

Bu Fan couldn't help but snap, "Why do I dislike hearing you talk, you old hammer?"

Old Man clasped his hands in his sleeves: "I'll say what I want, and you can't bite my balls!"

"Damn it!" Bu Fan exploded again, rolling up his sleeves ready to fight, "Today nobody's stopping me—I won't make this old man call me dad, I swear!"

"Cut it out!" Heng Xian reached out to stop him, "What time is this, still spouting bullshit!"

The two had no choice but to stop, speechless.

By now that giant tongue had already 'assassinated' three to five hundred people; looking out, the scene was indescribably tragic!

"What do you think? Here our cultivation is suppressed, we can't fly on swords, and it seems there's nowhere to run!" Bu Fan said.

Heng Xian said, "Let's bet the Gongsun family will let us go!"

Old Man said, "Do you think the Gongsun family will let us leave?"

Heng Xian nodded: "From normal logic, this is the entrance to the Ancient Demon Realm, and that huge beauty's face is clearly the monster guarding the cave mouth; with this monster present, it will certainly keep outsiders from entering!"

"Just now, each time she kills a person, her aura increases a bit; if this continues, it would not be in the Gongsun family's interest!"

"Makes sense!" Old Man asked, "Then when do you think they'll let us go?"

Heng Xian looked ahead: "Ten breaths!"

Bu Fan and Old Man unconsciously began the countdown; just as they reached 'three,' a booming bell-like voice came from behind: "You wait and leap back!"

Only to see a huge misty cave appear in midair behind them.

"Awesome!" Old Man and Bu Fan simultaneously gave Heng Xian a thumbs-up.

Heng Xian shook his head: "I'm outta here first!"

He was the first to leap toward the misty cave.

Outside the cave, lo and behold, was the small courtyard they had entered.

However, the courtyard now held none of its former tranquility and elegance; instead it was filled with Gongsun family cultivators, each wielding blades, swords, and magical implements, as if facing a great enemy.

The Gongsun elders, along with Gongsun Lier, Ye Zimei, and others, bore an even deeper aura, standing ready in strict formation.

Seeing Heng Xian emerge, Gongsun Su scolded, "Get out of the courtyard!"

Heng Xian had no choice but to walk toward the courtyard gate.

Having taken just a few steps, Old Man, Bu Fan, and a large group of still-shocked people burst out, everyone fleeing together toward the outside of the courtyard.

Only over a hundred people managed to escape before the passage behind them sealed itself, and from the depths came a heaven-shaking howl and wail that shook people's hearts and minds.

Gongsun Su couldn't help but marvel, "The power of the Ji Po is still so terrifying!"

"Lord Wu" laughed, "Although the Ji Po is fearsome, this might not be the genuine article; otherwise, if spores flew in, it's hard to say how many of the Nascent Soul cultivators present could survive."

Outside the courtyard, Bu Fan heard this strangely and asked curiously, "What is a Ji Po?"

Old Man stroked his beard, which was nearly singed off, and said, "You don't know? The Ji Po is a legendary monster whose head is as big as a small mountain; if you don't look at her, all is well, but once you meet her eyes she will surely kill you, and you cannot escape to the ends of the earth."

Bu Fan suddenly realized, "So just now, after opening the boulder, someone must have looked at her eyes?"

"Exactly!" Old Man stroked his whiskers.

Just then, the Gongsun family people came over to arrange everyone's lodging.

……

The Gongsun family's mansion in the inner city is enormous, occupying the entire peak of the inner mountain.

Heng Xian and the over a hundred who had escaped, together with other newly arrived 'Ultimate Slaughter Warriors,' were assigned to a place backed by mountains and beside water.

Three rows of stone houses crammed with people, each individual looking gloomy and still feeling icy cold.

Fate Opportunity, coincidentally, Heng Xian and his two companions happened to be assigned to the same room.

The room had nothing, not even a piece of cloth to sit on.

The three, bored, walked out of the room, gazed into the distance, and faintly could see the myriad lights of the inner city.

One side was a profusion of flowers like brocade, the other side icy and dead silent, forming a stark contrast!

Bu Fan leaned against a strangely shaped stone, glanced at the surroundings, and cursed: "What a damned warrior, not even giving a stool, the Gongsun family is stingy to this extent, their vision is too narrow, who the hell would sell their lives for them?"

Dao Ye said: "The Gongsun family doesn't want true warriors, but death soldiers; put bluntly, they're cannon fodder sent to die. Since they're sending them to die, why waste resources?"

Bu Fan was speechless.

Dao Ye looked at the silent Heng Xian, smiled and said: "What are you guys thinking?"

Heng Xian glanced around at the increasing number of people walking out of the room, standing in the corridor, a numb Extreme Killing Warrior, said: "I remembered the dormitory from when I attended private high school!"
