Chapter 854: Chapter 855: A Big Shot Appears
Outside the Sword Sect.
Li Xiaobai rode the Flesh War Chariot, speeding along towards the location specified in Wu Chengjue’s letter, heading for the Enforcement Team’s sub-hall.
Along the way, he charged straight ahead, not swerving for trees or various Demonic Beasts, but plowing directly through them. A straight line between two points is the shortest distance; naturally, taking the straight path was the fastest.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was pleasantly surprised to discover the Flesh War Chariot could not only absorb the limbs and severed arms of cultivators, but also those of Demonic Beasts. Leaving a trail of dust behind, carcasses of numerous beasts were blended into the chassis of the chariot.
If one could originally make out that the Flesh War Chariot was decorated with the legs and feet of human race cultivators, now it had completely transformed into an indescribable abomination. For instance, what were once a female cultivator’s jade-like legs were now studded with eyeballs of various Demonic Beasts, eerily abnormal, or how a Tiger Demon’s thigh had the terrified face of a young man emerging on it, looking somewhat grotesque.
Nevertheless, the power of the chariot did indeed keep rising; its attractiveness wasn’t important. As long as the chariot ran fast enough, fierce enough, and sustainably enough, it was good!
“Roar!”
Within the forest, a tiger’s roar echoed as a band of people were locked in battle with a group of Demonic Beasts. Each person’s head showed uniformly blood-red Sin Values, ranging from ten thousand to one hundred thousand.
“Damn it, why are there so many Demonic Beasts in the Sunset Forest today? Many that usually hide away have appeared. Could it be because they’ve been disturbed by something?”
The leading cultivator cursed, with blood-colored light bursting from his hands and an overwhelming evil aura, verily using a Cultivation Technique of the Demon Path. The others were also surrounded by various swarming gu insects, releasing poisonous clouds to take down the beasts one after the other.
“Yeah, Brother Chen, normally we’d only need to kill about ten or so beasts to get through, but today there are so many more. Could it be that some high-realm Demonic Beast has been awakened?”
The twin-tailed young girl beside him said this as more and more beasts appeared. Everyone was getting the sense of being trapped. Her wide robe was now torn into rags, with several parts revealing flashes of skin; exerting strength from her jade-like thighs, she kicked away a hungry tiger that pounced towards her.
“If this continues, we might not be able to reach the Enforcement Team’s sub-hall in time for the assessment!”
“Forget the assessment, if we don’t withdraw now the beasts will only gather in greater numbers. Whether we can even make it out alive is still up for debate!”
“Brother Chen, make a decision!”
The group of young cultivators shouted; they had taken a shortcut to hurry to the Enforcement Team’s sub-hall for the assessment. Not only was this route blocked, but they also faced the possibility of perishing here. They had to quickly retreat, yet if they retreated, they would miss the Enforcement Team assessment. With the Sin Values on their heads, their future journeys would only be more perilous.
“No, we can’t retreat!”
“If we can’t get affiliated with the Enforcement Team, with our Sin Values, death is still inevitable. We’re doomed anyway, may as well take a gamble. We’re already deep in their territory, breaking through is our only chance of survival!”
Brother Chen’s eyes were resolute as he continued to fight fiercely, his Blood Qi surging around him.
“Roar!”
Another roar came from the depths of the Sunset Forest, making the ground rumble and sending a terrorizing chill through everyone’s hearts.
“No good, that’s the howl of the Cangye Wolf King, that’s an Earth Immortal Realm top-tier Demonic Beast!”
The twin-tailed young girl’s face turned pale, her torn robe now reduced to strips of cloth, but she was too worried to care about these things. The very thing she feared most had happened – the rising clamor of the beasts had attracted higher-order beasts, and they couldn’t escape!
But just then, another series of tremendous booms erupted from behind them, continuous thunderous blasts ringing out, making everyone feel the earth tremble beneath their feet, accompanied by a strong sense of numbing shock.
“Which big-shot Demonic Beast is this appearing now?”
“With the Wolf King ahead and pursuers from behind, my life is over!”
As a golden light approached closer and closer from behind, their faces filled with despair. Li Chen, the strongest among them, had only just entered the Earth Immortal Realm and now faced two behemoth beasts, with nothing but a path to death.
“What’s wrong, why hasn’t it stopped? Why is it still rolling over the beasts all the way?”
“Fuck, that thing isn’t a Demonic Beast, it’s a war chariot, and there’s a figure on top, our human race cultivators have arrived!”
“The Demonic Beasts chasing us from behind have all been cleared out by him. Who is this big shot?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Is this a war chariot? Why is it covered with chunks of flesh? Could it be a senior from our Demon Path too?”
As they got closer, they could see clearly that the golden radiance was indeed an ancient war chariot, with a young man standing on it, continuously crushing fierce beasts.
The design of the chariot was peculiar, its body embedded with all kinds of severed limbs and broken arms. Plenty of the flesh and blood was obviously freshly adorned, with eyeballs still dripping blood!
“This really is a big shot from the Demon Path, sporting a Sin Value of two hundred thousand, so reckless!”
Li Chen stared intently at the Sin Value above the young man’s head, walking outside with such a high Sin Value, only someone from the Demon Path would dare do such a thing.
“We’re saved!”
“We are disciples of the Five Poison Cult. Much gratitude to the big shot for lending a hand! This kindness, Li Chen will never forget!”
“Thank you, big shot, for your righteous assistance!”
The twin-tailed female cultivator’s cheeks flushed red as she gazed at the young man on the Flesh War Chariot, her face full of little stars. This was a true Demon Path cultivator, who used cultivators’ and Demonic Beasts’ corpses to make a war chariot and roamed the battlefield with no one to fear. This terrifying aura of power was full of allure, and without leaving a trace, she tore at her already ragged clothes hoping to catch the big shot’s attention.
Whoosh!
The Flesh War Chariot didn’t slow down at all, the young man seemed as if he hadn’t heard their words, and the golden light just whisked past her, splashing her with mud instead.
“This…”
Surprise crossed the face of the twin-tailed girl. She was pretty and had a good figure, why was the big shot not interested in her?
“Jiaojiao, step back. The big shot is not someone we can afford to offend. If we make him unhappy, we won’t be able to eat and walk away!”
Li Chen immediately covered her with a big robe and pulled her to the back.
To have the good fortune to encounter such a master and be rescued was already an extreme stroke of luck; he dared not casually speak with him.
They were all from the Demon Path, with strong murderous intents. If they annoyed the other party, he might just kill them on a whim.
“Yes, indeed. The big shot looks young and is probably a disciple from a major power that’s beyond our reach.”
Another female cultivator in the group also spoke up.
“Alright then.”
The twin-tailed girl was somewhat dejected, as she had lost the opportunity to get to know a young prodigy.
“But wait, the big shot is charging ahead right now, and the Demonic Beasts are all dead. If we follow behind him, won’t we be able to just walk out of the Sunset Forest?”
A cultivator suggested.
“But there’s still the Cangye Wolf King ahead. Even with the big shot present, it’s still very dangerous!”
“Fortune favors the bold. Let’s follow, this is our chance. Perhaps the Cangyue Wolf King is no match for the big shot either!”
