Devour

Chapter 359 Hidden Danger

On the Black Blade Flying Armor observation deck, Qian Buduo was stunned with astonishment. It took him a while to recover. He murmured, "One...one move to kill instantly. Awesome!"

Bei Tingjun laughed and said, "Sister Minjin is really good!"

Jinlian took a few more glances at the horrifically changed landscape and thought to herself, "Strictly speaking, the first half of the move was not fully used. Both sides quickly changed their moves, so they actually used one and a half moves. Her name is Minjin, right? It seems that her destructive power is even stronger than that of the tall giant."

A series of bubbles popped up in the puddle where the sharp blade disappeared.

Minjin looked down and asked curiously, "What's going on? That fake counterfeit still refuses to give up?"

With the sound of gurgling water, the Blue Dragon Sword rose straight up from the rolling waves, and a gap had already appeared on the sharp blade. Even so, a pale hand still grasped the long handle tightly and floated out of the water, with the blade pointing straight to the sky, silently telling of its unwillingness.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Blue Dragon's Clan rose to reveal its entire arm with a sharp blade. Unfortunately, it was at the end of its strength, and the blade barely shook twice before losing its support, falling into the water with a splash.

It turned out that it was just a trace of obsession in the broken arm that held the hilt tightly, and as the soul weapon sank to the bottom of the water, the battle came to an end.

Wen Jin stuffed the Dragon Shadow Fire Essence Sword into his mouth and stored it in his Dantian. He happily returned to the Black Blade Flying Armor and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have won a great victory and have fulfilled my mission."

Cheng Bai nodded in approval, looking at the quiet village from afar, and said thoughtfully: "We have defeated two generals in a row, but the enemy has no reaction? The situation is a bit strange."

After witnessing the two battles, Jinlian completely put away her previous contempt and said solemnly, "Before we even reached Tianning Village, we repeatedly encountered bizarre enemies on the outskirts. If it weren't for the incredibly strong lineup, how could we have safely entered? The village is definitely not a good place."

……

In the small house at the foot of Wucan Mountain, Tu He sat cross-legged and said solemnly, "Finally here! He killed Di Xuan's two corpse puppets with one move. He is really powerful!"

Then he said to himself: "We have injured only a few enemies, but have lost tens of millions of ourselves! We have been forced to sacrifice 90% of the population of Tianning Village, and even the remains of the heroes of past generations have not been spared."

After a brief pause, he began to think, "But at such a high cost, we were able to preserve 10% of our elite personnel. As long as we find a small opportunity to turn things around, we can reproduce and grow again."

Tu He's divine sense detected the details, but he sighed with disappointment, "It's too early to be optimistic. They only have a small group of people, and they didn't find Bei Yin among them. They are probably the vanguard troops coming here to test the situation."

He said anxiously, "This is terrible! If you are too weak, you will easily become a flesh and blood puppet of the Death Spirit Tomb Technique, which will increase Di Xuan's power for nothing."

After a second thought, he said hesitantly, "The cultivation level of the newcomer is obviously far superior to ours. He may be able to fight with the Sun Chaser for a long time and hold out until that being arrives to quell the turmoil."

Tu He looked uncertain and worried, "Two powerful corpse puppets were killed by the foreign enemy, but what is puzzling is that Di Xuan did not care about it. It is hard to say whether there is a treacherous plot behind the scenes."

He stopped speaking contradictory words, and suddenly saw billowing red smoke surging outside the house, which quickly condensed into the huge body of the Sun Chaser Giant.

Di Xuan was eight hundred meters tall. He looked down at the lonely hut at the foot of the mountain and said in a deep voice, "Tu He, I think you are a little abnormal after thinking about it."

Tu He slowly raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the wall and the roof, taking in everything that was happening outside the house, and responded calmly, "Sun-chasing God, what do you think of me?"

Di Xuan also ignored those obstacles, stared at Tu He with sharp eyes, and said the key: "The phenomenon in your domain should be the Yellow Spring Rotten Earth, right? When the earth-related magical power grows to a certain level, it is expected to evolve into a territory. You secretly took Nie Ziqiong and others into your domain, isolated them from the outside world, and hid them privately, pretending to deceive me, right?"

"How could he know that all of a sudden?" Tu He was secretly shocked when he heard this, but pretended to be calm and said, "God Lord, you are worrying too much. How can I have such a miraculous vision ability?"

Di Xuan didn't believe it and shouted, "Stop pretending! If you don't have such abilities, how could there be such a series of strange things happening in the village? Show me your domain phenomena and let me see the details."

Faced with the interrogation, Tu He's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, "Your Excellency the Lord God, you don't know... The vision of my cultivation is very special, and I must enter the house in person to witness the truth."

Di Xuan was silent for a moment, then he shouted sternly: "You old bastard, do you really think I don't dare to venture into a dangerous place? Today I will let you see the difference!"

In an instant, he turned into several drifting red smokes, and rushed into the cottage at the foot of the mountain through the doors, windows and chimneys at the speed of lightning and gust of wind.

Everywhere was silent and silent, with only the occasional creaking sound of the wind pushing open the door of the house. Strangely, there was no one inside or outside the house.

……

Wang Xiongwu followed Pan Zhonghan and galloped madly, avoiding the group of griffins and bypassing the dragon-catching trees and man-eating forests, until a water village appeared before them.

Wang Xiongwu stopped walking and looked down to notice that the sole of his shoe had been lost. His feet were only separated by a thin layer of cloth on the mudstone sand. He felt aggrieved: "I have never used my legs to run such a long and difficult distance... Damn it, it's all that kid's fault. I can't even afford a pair of precious boots!"

Pan Zhonghan frowned slightly, looked at the mirror-like shimmering water in front of him, and said in surprise: "It should be 100,000 hectares of fertile farmland... Where did this vast lake come from? It's so wide that it looks like the sea."

Wang Xiongwu was unsure whether he could continue forward, so he spoke carefully: "Master, have you never heard of a lake nearby?"

Pan Zhonghan shook his head, concentrating on sensing the remaining magic power on the surface. After pondering for a while, he said, "There was an abnormal fluctuation just now coming from the front. I guess there must be a fierce battle between masters. Could it be that it was caused by force?"

"The basin we passed through just now was also very suspicious. It caused the mountains and terrain to change drastically, which was so shocking. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that it was a few old monsters ranked at the top of the Sage List who worked together to do it!" Wang Xiongwu's face changed in horror and his voice trembled.

He stole a glance at Pan Zhonghan, observing his expression and said, "Uncle Master, the road ahead may be extremely dangerous. How about we..."

Pan Zhonghan expanded his spiritual sense to search in all directions, and judged the situation and said: "The power of this strong man is unfathomable, it is better to avoid him!"

After hearing this, Wang Xiongwu turned around and ran away without saying a word.

"Stop!" Pan Zhonghan shouted to stop him, and said sternly: "Where are you going? Who told you to leave?"

Wang Xiongwu was startled, turned around and said with a wry smile: "I...I thought that Master Uncle meant that it was better to retreat, so I should do my best to avoid it!"

"Bullshit! This lake looks vast at first glance, but in fact the water level is still shallow, and the deep part is limited to a few miles in the center of the lake. It doesn't look like it was caused by a battle between many masters."

Pan Zhonghan cursed a few times in a bad mood, snorted coldly and scolded: "Besides, we have come all the way here with great difficulty, how can we retreat just like that? Even if there were extraordinary people fighting, they have already disappeared after the battle. What does it have to do with us? Coward!"

"You old fool, you scared me. It was you who said that. I ran a long way and didn't even get a hair!" Wang Xiongwu cursed in his heart, but his face was full of flattering smiles. He quickly stepped closer and apologized, "My disciple is stupid. I will rely on Uncle Master's arrangements. I will definitely move forward bravely without hesitation."

Pan Zhonghan cast his gaze towards the center of the lake and saw a spot where sporadic bubbles were occasionally appearing. He hesitated and said, "Why does the water seem to have a hint of resentment lingering in it? Could it be that the spirits of the defeated army are unwilling to vanish? But what can we do? It won't last long and will eventually dissipate."

"Master, what you said is absolutely right." Wang Xiongwu agreed timidly, but he was cautious: "Is there something hidden at the bottom of the lake?"

Pan Zhonghan put on a sanctimonious attitude, flicked his sleeves, and resolutely ordered: "Follow me to Wucan Mountain. This ancient treasure land is remote and uninhabited, and is the most suitable place for you to concentrate on cultivation. You don't have to pay attention to the irrelevant people outside the mountain."

"Master uncle probably knows something..." Wang Xiongwu really wanted to ask for clarification, but seeing Pan Zhonghan's unquestionable tough attitude, he felt uneasy and did not dare to say anything inappropriate.

"Let's go." Pan Zhonghan tiptoed and landed lightly on the water as if he were walking on flat ground.

Wang Xiongwu followed behind him with his Qinggong skills. The two rode on the waves of the lake and ran quickly towards Tianning Village.
