Chapter 162 Luring Out The Monster
" Bastard! Jia Qing! Do you want to die!"
Shu Yanlin and Qin Chen were shocked. They never expected Jia Qing would make a move first. He must have used some powerful treasure to get near the pearl.
" Jia Qing! Hand over the treasure!"
Jia Qing himself was stunned when he saw the pearl cracking into pieces. " This… I didn't do anything."
" Liar! You think we are fools?"
" Hand over…"
"ARRRGHH!"
" Help! Help!"
Everyone was stunned when they suddenly heard groans and pitiful screams.
Unknown to them, grey colored branches erupted from the ground and started to cover all the exits. Also, crimson roots cracked out from the ground and pierced the bodies of cultivators, killing them instantly and then devouring their blood.
" Wh-What the hell…"
" Look! Look at that tree!"
The grey colored tree shook violently as a mound slowly rose under it. The treasure covered tree on the pulsing grey mound looked like a very strange monster.
It was like an anglerfish, with the tree and treasures as bait and the mound is the real body.
" Damn it! It's a monster!
" Hurry up and- AHHHHH!"
The crimson roots flung around ling tentacles, killing and devouring the blood of cultivators.
" Fuck! What kind of demon is this!"
" Everyone! Gather together and kill this thing!"
" The treasures on the tree are real! We must kill this monster!"
Qin Chen's body was covered with blue scales as he took out a purple colored scroll. Suddenly, a divine figure appeared before him holding a giant sword.
The imposing aura made the cultivators look at it with awe. The dao rhythm was enough to suppress the entire area. Sparkling flames rolled around its sword like tidal waves as it slashed at the grey colored mound.
*BOOOM! BOOOM*
" Tha-Thats! That's the Dao Refining Realm intent! True intent of Dao Refining Realm cultivator!"
" Damn it! Qin Chen is hiding such a treasure!"
Qin Chen's face turned dark when he was using the scroll. It was such a precious item that he didn't even dare to use it in normal circumstances.
But the situation was simply life threatening, forcing him to use his trump card.
" Damn it! What the fuck is that!?"
Qin Chen's heart shook when the dust settled. He saw the grey colored mound flash with a pale light as it blocked the attack of the divine figure. The pale light rippled violently, but the mound received no damage.
" It blocked a straight attack from Ancient Lord's True Intent?"
" Impossible!"
The crimson roots shot out toward the divine figure as it trapped him. The radiance of the divine figure flickered as it swung its greatsword. Some of the crimson roots got chopped, but the attack didn't stop.
" What are you guys waiting for!" Qin Chen roared. " If we don't stop this monster, we all going to die!"
Qin Zhong looked at his protector with hesitation as he nodded. He took out a giant clam, rippling with strange threads of light. The moment he opened it, the clam turned into a gigantic clam as large as a building.
A burst of light shone as various apparitions of swords, sabers, hammers, spears, daggers, and arrows appeared in the air.
" That-That's treasure also contains True Intent of Dao Refining Realm cultivator."
" Damn it! Imperial Family got too many treasures!"
The weapons shone with blood and killing aura as they shot at the grey colored mound. However, the barrier around the mound remained standing, easily blocking the attack.
" Damn it! What sort damned shield is this!"
" Look! He is about to kill that divine figure!"
The giant swordsman produced from Qin Chen's scroll was becoming dimmer and dimmer. However, it already slashed over hundreds of roots. But clearly, it was lacking the power to attack forward.
Jia Qing and Shu Yanlin were doing their best as they used various treasures to increase their power output from their Royal grade treasures. With their power, they can rival a High stage Harmonization Realm cuultivator.
Alas, the absurd defense of the strange grey mound left them speechless. But then, they realized the cultivators around them reduced by half.
" This demonic thing! It's killing and absorbing the blood of cultivators!"
" We can't defeat this thing!"
" Hurry and escape!"
Qin Chen pulled the scroll as he realized the figure of the swordsman was about to vanish. So, he swiftly changed the target and attacked toward the exit which was blocked by tree roots.
"CRACK CRACK*
The tree roots were slashed open as Qin Chen and his group tried to escape.
*RAA RAAA*
However, how it could be so easy? A ravenous roar made everyone shiver in terror as they turned around.
The grey colored mound moved like a living being as a fleshly blob of grey color raised, with countless grey branches waving around it. The elongated blob of flesh wriggled as several slits appeared around it, moving like pitch black mouths.
The blood of cultivators turned into a stream of red liquid as the mouths devoured them. With another roar, more crimson roots shot out from its mound as it started to move.
" Fuck! Everyone! Run!"
" Escape!"
Alas, the speed of the crimson roots were enough to instantly kill a dozen of cultivators instantly. Everyone became horrified when they saw it, even moving more desperately to escape.
" Young Lord! Go!"
The protector of Qin Zhong took the Royal grade weapon in his hand as his aura exploded.
" Damned beast! Take this!"
A dazzling sword intent illuminated the cave as a heavenly sword materialized in the air. The power was almost comparable to the strike of Low stage Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator.
The entire cave was filled with resplendent radiance as the immense power of Royal grade weapon charged out.
Not only Qin Zhong's guardian, but other old guardians realize that the monster is far too powerful for the juniors.
They instantly managed to repel the monster. However, the entire cave shook violently as the ceiling filled with intricate rune diagrams. Without a second's delay, flaming pillars of lightning descended on the old guardians who used their full power.
*PUFF PUFF PUFF*
The cultivators became horrified when they saw the powerful cultivators of the Harmonization Realm get killed instantly, turning into bloody mists.
" Wh-What the hell was that?"
" Heavenly Emperor's Law! That's the Azure Sun Secret Realm's law!"
Qin Chen and others became horrified when they realized the problem. Cultivation above Low stage Harmonization Realm is strictly prohibited.
And the result of defying? They already witnessed it.
*GAGA GAGAGAGA*
The grey blob of mass looked like it was laughing in a strange way, as if it knew the result already. Everyone was shocked when they saw the grey blob crawling out from the grey shell like mound.
The grey colored branches swung around the blob of grey as it crawled and devoured the corpses of cultivators.
" Damn it! It blocked the exit again!"
" Hurry up and move!"
No matter how much they tried, the crimson roots grew again, blocking the passageways.
However, To Qin Chen's despair, he saw Qin Zhong using a talisman and passing through the crimson roots.
" Qin Zhong! Bastard! I am your brother!"
Qin Chen was horrified.?He didn't know what sort of treasure Qin Zhong used, but he escaped from that place. But his group remained there.
As the blob of grey monster slaughtered, it suddenly paused.
" Heyo, You ugly ass slime."
Everyone was stunned when they saw a young man appear, holding a small orb of sparkling gold.
The blob monster suddenly glanced at the newcomer as its body trembled with desire and greed.
" What? Does this smell good?"
Long Ming grinned as his legs crackled with lightning arcs.
*GAGAGAGA*
The blob of grey grumbled as it suddenly threw dozens of crimson roots toward Long Ming. Its greed for the orb of golden liquid was evident.
Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed with a mysterious light as his gaze focused on the movements of the crimson roots.
He already witnessed the terror of those roots once. But this time, Long Ming was prepared.
Using both Raging Lightning Wings and Rushing Lightning Steps, Long Ming vanished from his position as the crimson roots stabbed the ground there.
Long Ming kept showing the orb as he moved rapidly. He knew even a moment's delay was enough to kill him.
Although Ancestor Huang was ready to make the critical strike, Long Ming needed to keep luring the monster till then.
" Look! Look there!"
" Just looking at it, I can feel such a powerful wave of Grand Dao!"
" Grand Heaven Ascension Realm Blood Essence!"
Everyone's eyes turned red with greed when they realized what the small orb of gold in Long Ming's hand was.
" If I can refine that, I can easily reach Dao Refining Realm."
" Hell, I might even become a Core Disciple in top grade sects!"
Qin Chen was also breathing heavily when he saw that. Without a moment's hesitation, he jumped flames burst around him.
" Hehe, Give that to me!"
Long Ming was surprised when he saw Qin Chen's attack. He understood his action as he suddenly disappeared. Qin Chen was shocked when Long Ming disappeared abruptly.
Yet, He felt a tremendous pressure weighing down on him as Long Ming appeared right behind him like a ghost.
Suddenly, a crimson root pierced Qin Chen's body, shattering all his defensive treasures. Qin Chen used this chance to escape. But then…
" Nine Ocean Overlapping Fist!"
Long Ming's Great Mystic Mountain Physique erupted violently as his fist landed on the chest of Qin Chen.
And this time, he forgot to hold back.
