Chapter 378 - 173: Spatial Turbulence 2

Lu Chenxiao then looked at Liu Qingli and Yu Xiuqi, and two more Elixirs flew out.

"You two, take these Elixirs as well."

The two took them and swallowed them as well.

「An incense stick’s time later.」

The trio’s auras surged, and their injuries were completely healed!

Their presences were even a few degrees stronger than before they were injured!

Lu Chenxiao looked at Liang Cheng.

"Youngest Brother, you’ll follow me at the front in a moment."

"The three of them will clear out the beast horde and provide backup."

Liang Cheng nodded.

"Alright."

Lu Chenxiao then looked at the others.

"Everyone, I’ll have to trouble you to guard the valley. If any Fierce Beasts charge out, kill them without mercy."

Everyone agreed in unison.

At this moment, no one dared to object.

The aura emanating from Lu Chenxiao was so oppressive it left everyone breathless.

This was the imposing pressure of a Half-Step Golden Core prodigy—the Town Guardian of the Demon Suppression Array!

...

「Before the fissure.」

Five figures stood side-by-side.

Lu Chenxiao stood at the very front, with Liang Cheng to his right.

Behind them, Li Jianfeng, Yu Xiuqi, and Liu Qingli had unleashed their full auras, ready for battle.

Inside the fissure, Fierce Beasts were still packed as densely as ever.

Seeing people approach, they all roared in fury!

Tier Four, Tier Five, Tier Six, Tier Seven...

There were even seven or eight Tier Eight beasts mixed in!

Driven by the Fierce Beast that was breaking through deep within the fissure, they charged fearlessly toward the five of them!

"Let’s move."

Lu Chenxiao’s expression was placid, his tone calm.

The moment his voice fell, he took a step forward!

BOOM!!!

An utterly terrifying Sword Intent erupted from his body, soaring into the sky!

The Sword Intent materialized, forming a hundred-zhang-long greatsword that hung above his head!

Its edge pointed downward, rotating slowly!

The instant the Sword Intent appeared, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a thousand-zhang radius went berserk!

The earth trembled!

Space distorted!

The dozens of Fierce Beasts charging at the forefront didn’t even have a chance to get close before they were crushed by the Sword Intent and exploded!

Flesh and blood flew everywhere!

Seeing this, Li Jianfeng and the other two gasped.

’Is this Eldest Brother’s true power?’

’It’s too terrifying!’

Liang Cheng’s gaze sharpened.

’Eldest Brother’s Sword Intent has also reached the level of Entering the Hall and the Room, where one’s Thoughts Follow the Heart. But my own accumulated foundation seems even deeper than his.’

’Moreover, my Three Intents form the Three Talents. I never expected that I might actually be stronger than Eldest Brother.’

’Of course, who knows what other trump cards Eldest Brother might have. To be the Town Guardian of the Demon Suppression Array for so many years, he must have some extraordinary methods.’

At that moment, Lu Chenxiao spoke without turning his head.

"Youngest Brother, follow me."

With that said, he took another step.

As his second step landed—

BOOM!!!

The hundred-zhang greatsword hanging in the void slashed down!

Wherever the sword light passed, space itself was torn apart, revealing pitch-black spatial rifts!

One slash!

Cleared three hundred zhang!

Hundreds of Fierce Beasts were annihilated, turned to dust by this single strike!

Blood rained down!

Severed limbs filled the sky!

But before the blood could even fall, it was shredded into a bloody mist by the residual Sword Intent!

Before the fissure, everything was stained crimson!

Lu Chenxiao’s expression remained unchanged as he stepped into the fissure.

Liang Cheng quickly followed close behind.

Li Jianfeng and the other two exchanged a look, then gritted their teeth and followed.

...

「Inside the fissure.」

It was completely different from the outside world.

Here, space was distorted, the light was dim, and the air was filled with Blood Evil Qi.

Broken skeletons were scattered everywhere on the ground.

Some were human, others belonged to Fierce Beasts.

Liang Cheng’s gaze swept across the area, and he grew wary.

Lu Chenxiao walked onward without pause.

Fierce Beasts continuously lunged at them along the way.

But there was no need for Liang Cheng to act at all.

Lu Chenxiao merely had to glance at them, and the Fierce Beasts would simply explode!

Not a single one could withstand a single exchange!

This was Eldest Brother’s strength.

Utterly domineering.

「An incense stick’s time later.」

The five of them halted.

Ahead, a massive Blood Pool stretched before them.

A colossal creature was entrenched in the center of the Blood Pool.

It was a Fierce Beast, a Human-faced Spider.

Its eight long legs were like eight great lances, plunged deep into the Blood Pool.

Its face was a twisted human one.

Its eyes were scarlet, and its mouth was split to its ears, revealing rows of sharp fangs.

At this moment, it was staring at the five of them.

The aura around its body surged violently, sometimes swelling, sometimes receding.

This was the sign of a breakthrough in progress!

It was trying to break through to Tier Nine!

"Heheheh..."

It suddenly let out a bizarre laugh.

"More humans have served themselves up on a platter..."

"So many... so fresh... blood-food..."

"Once I break through, you’ll be the first ones I eat!"

Its voice was sharp and piercing, like nails scraping across glass.

It could speak!

Li Jianfeng and the other two turned pale. ’This is a being just one step away from Tier Nine?’

’Its laugh alone is enough to destabilize one’s mind!’

Lu Chenxiao’s expression did not change.

"Vile beast."

He said, word by word.

"Unfortunately, you won’t get the chance to break through."

The moment his voice fell—

BOOM!!!

His Sword Intent was fully unleashed!

The hundred-zhang greatsword appeared once more!

It slashed down!

The Human-faced Spider erupted with power as well!

Its eight legs thrust out simultaneously, like eight pillars holding up the sky, to meet the greatsword head-on!

RUMBLE!!!

A world-shaking crash!

The Blood Pool exploded!

A bloody mist filled the air!

The entire space trembled violently!

Lu Chenxiao grunted and stumbled back three steps. The Human-faced Spider was also forced back, its eight legs carving eight deep trenches in the Blood Pool!

But the aura around its body surged once again!

"Heheheh... Thank you!"

It laughed maniacally!

"I was just lacking a potent supplement to break through my bottleneck! You’ve come at the perfect time. It wasn’t a waste for me to cause such a huge commotion and wait so long for you!"

The moment its voice fell—

It abruptly opened its cavernous, bloody maw!

A terrifying suction force erupted!

The blood in the Blood Pool surged madly into its mouth!

Its aura swelled at a rate visible to the naked eye!

Lu Chenxiao’s gaze hardened.

"This is bad! It’s devouring the energy of the Blood Pool!"

"Stop it!"
