Chapter 890

Chishe only had time to hastily scan the area he could see, when a powerful force surged toward him; he could only withdraw his technique to avoid backlash.

But even that brief glance was enough to shock Chishe by what lay below.

Directly beneath his position, there was indeed another large space hidden.

It was a pit, so deep that its bottom could not be seen at a glance.

In the area Chishe could see, more than a dozen corpses floated in the air.

Their bodies had not decayed; the upper-layer corpses looked as if they were asleep, with a hint of color still in their cheeks, but the lower ones were completely different.

Those corpses were extremely desiccated, their essence and blood drained, leaving only skin stretched over bone, eyeballs protruding, skeletons jutting out, looking quite ferocious.

Further down, there seemed to be more corpses, but Chishe could no longer make out their condition.

As Chishe hesitated whether to turn back and report this to Lord Liu Seventh, footsteps sounded behind him.

Liu Junyan and Xiao Jiu had already caught up.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Liu Junyan asked.

Chishe swooped a few times and already coiled around Liu Junyan's arm.

He briefly described what he had seen.

Xiao Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "Do you have X-ray vision?"

"It's not X-ray vision," Chishe corrected, "This is a special secret art passed down from my ancestors, called the Chi Pupil Peeking Concealment Technique; I have only just begun to cultivate it to the elementary stage, so the range I can peer into is limited."

Xiao Jiu gave Chishe a thumbs-up: "Really impressive."

Liu Junyan let out an inexplicable cold snort and said, "Since you have that ability, then you lead the way ahead."

Chishe tightly coiled around Liu Junyan's arm and said, "The opponent is too strong; I've already been exposed, and if I use the Chi Pupil Peeking Concealment Technique again, I fear I'll be attacked and suffer backlash."

Liu Junyan said, "Looks like you're no good either! When you go back, you still need to train properly."

Chishe thought, If it weren't for you forcing me out, I'd be happily cultivating in the Yin Dang Hang right now.

But he held his tongue, still coiled around Liu Junyan's arm, guiding him to the entrance of that lower space.

When Liu Junyan and Xiao Jiu both stood at the edge of that heavenly pit, even though they were mentally prepared, they both sucked in a breath of cold air in unison.

The so-called heavenly pit's opening was not as large as everyone imagined, but it was extremely deep, its bottom unseen at a glance.

Moreover, looking at the broken edges of the pit, it does not look man-made; the surrounding breaks are uneven, and there is a barrier in the central area; the corpses floating in the air, judging by their clothing, should be those brought by Lei Xiu lin.

But Liu Junyan and Xiao Jiu could only see the uppermost corpses; a little lower, they were shrouded in a thin black mist, making them indistinct.

However, they could tell that the black mist was corpse qi.

Such intense corpse qi could not be produced by just a few or a dozen unrotted corpses; this indicates that beneath this space there are many more corpses with higher degrees of decomposition… possibly even zombies.

Chishe quietly, bit by bit, moved toward the inside of Liu Junyan's sleeve.

He tried hard to lower his presence, fearing he'd be pulled out again to serve as a vanguard.

He had already experienced the opponent's tremendous power just now; he knew he couldn't win, he definitely couldn't win!

But before his head could even slip into Liu Junyan's sleeve, his tail was seized by a hand.

Liu Junyan directly hoisted Chishe up upside down and, without hesitation, threw him toward the barrier.

Chishe let out a startled cry.

Before he could react, his body touched the barrier, and a powerful repelling force directly flung his body away.

At the critical moment, Chishe chanted a spell; almost instantly, countless tree trunks of various sizes and lengths pierced the earth from all directions and stabbed into the barrier.

The barrier violently undulated, causing the floating corpses to sway incessantly as well.

Xiao Jiu watched in astonishment, marveling at Chishe's explosive power, and couldn't help but whisper, "Ah Yan, his ability has already exceeded my expectations; he's truly impressive!"

This time, Liu Junyan did not snort again.

One must admit, that instant just now even left Liu Junyan stunned.

Chishe coiled around a pillar; Liu Junyan had thought that the pillar Chishe coiled around might eventually become his natal magic implement, but he hadn't expected that Chishe's wood-controlling ability would be even better.

He could actually, in a sudden situation, manipulate the surrounding trees for his own use, with strong explosive power and reaction speed, making him a malleable talent.

At this moment, Liu Junyan found himself looking at Chishe with increasing satisfaction.

If in the future he were to entrust Ranran to this kid, Liu Junyan felt… it wouldn't be impossible.

Compared to Liu Junyan and Xiao Jiu's current mood, Chishe felt the exact opposite.

At the crucial moment, he employed the Coiling Snake Controlling Pillar technique, which indeed resisted the barrier's repelling force, but these trees, being makeshift materials, could not unleash the power of a natal magic implement.

He could feel that the barrier, which had just been violently undulating, had now been repaired.

He could unleash one burst, but could not follow it with a second or third burst.

Now, if Liu Junyan were to grab his tail again and throw him into the barrier, he would have nothing left but to die.

Fortunately, Liu Junyan's original intention was merely to test Chishe's abilities, not to truly send him to his death.

Even if Chishe had not released the Coiling Snake Controlling Pillar skill just now, at the critical moment Liu Junyan would still intervene to save him.

Liu Junyan waved his hand, and Chishe had already returned to his sleeve.

The next moment, the Chishe clinging to the cuff saw Lord Liu Seventh and Xiao Jiu the shopkeeper simultaneously forming seals, and almost at the same instant, a beam of golden light and a beam of fire shot forth together toward the barrier.

With a bang.

The barrier violently trembled.

The golden light suddenly exploded, like countless spikes, piercing the entire space.

The Nirvana fire followed closely, and wherever it passed, the corpse qi vanished completely.

Chishe knew these two were formidable, but he hadn't expected them to be this formidable.

The Earth Vein Dragon God possessed such power; once it had come incredibly close to him, only to be shattered like a dream of millet.

This is an anguish deep in Chishe's heart that cannot be erased.

He secretly swore that he would reclaim everything he had lost!

The corpses floating in the barrier, at the moment the barrier was broken, fell downward in free fall.

But in this process, the originally full corpses in the upper layer actually withered, Visible to the Naked Eye.

Not long after, they burst open one by one; the corpse stench filled the entire space, rushing up to meet them, stinging the eyes……

Chishe instinctively darted out from Liu Junyan's sleeve, opening its mouth, and a large amount of green liquid sprayed out, forming a barrier.

The rising corpse energy, upon meeting that barrier, seemed to encounter an antidote, and was completely decomposed……
