That creature was a hundred zhang tall, with ox horns, a head like a horse or a donkey, with four limbs like a human, dragging a long tail.
Flames swirled around it, and as soon as it appeared, the entire world was set ablaze. The Chu family was instantly engulfed in flames.
"Roar!"
The terrifying creature howled at the sky, shaking the void violently, cracking the earth, and the aura of a king sent chills down one's spine.
"Changwu, you take Long Chen and go first. I'll buy you some time." Seeing the crisis in the air, Luo Changwen shouted loudly.
Just one Chu Yingxiong alone was already too much for them to handle. With this terrifying creature appearing, all they could do was flee for their lives.
"Can you escape?" You have to understand, I prepared a big gift for Luo Zichuan. Since he won't come, I'll give it to you all just as well." Chu Yingxiong laughed heartily toward the sky.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen finally couldn't hold on. The chains of flame shattered, and Chu Yingxiong pulled the furnace back. From beginning to end, the chaotic space hadn't helped him.
"Long Chen, you all leave quickly! Escape to Lingxiao Academy immediately. I'll buy you a chance." Long Chen retreated to the crowd, and Luo Changwen spoke with a grave expression.
"Those hell beings aren't human after all, so they're nothing to fear. The most important thing is for everyone to unite and kill Chu Yingxiong." Long Chen glanced at the giant being and recognized it as the Bone Blade Flame Demon, a living being from the underworld.
During the days spent with Ming Cangyue in the Underworld, because of their bond of fusion, their souls shared one and Long Chen learned many secrets of the Underworld.
This Bone Blade Flame Demon is a being from the underworld, but once it enters the Immortal Realm, it is suppressed by the laws here. Although it can control the power of flames, it tends to be strong. Its flame power is terrifying, but it's not very effective and not particularly frightening. The most troublesome one is Chu Yingxiong.
"Boom boom boom... After
Chu Yingxiong grabbed the furnace, he quickly retreated, hiding behind the Bone Blade Flame Demon. With a slap of his large hand on the altar, it trembled, and one after another, beings from the underworld surged out from the passage.
"Ni... ...
When he saw eight different beings from the underworld emerge from that passage, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
A Celestial King-level Underworld monster can be slain with skill, but with eight appearing at once, what kind of tricks can you use?
"To kill you, Long Chen, and destroy the Luo family, my Chu family has gone to great lengths, exhausting all our savings.
Combined with the massive resources sent by the Blood Slaughter Hall, you all died for a worthy cause. Chu Yingxiong laughed heartily, his voice full of pride:
"No matter what schemes your Luo family has, no matter what tricks Luo Zichuan has, it's useless now.
After killing you, I will order these beings of the underworld to crush your Luo family and wipe out everyone in the Luo family. Long
Chen cursed inwardly—this was just too much. Now there was nothing he could do. In his left eye, the three-flower pupils slowly appeared. If it really didn't work, he had to use the power of the Purgatory Eye. At worst, he could become a one-eyed dragon for a few more months.
"Hahaha, just quietly wait for death to come..." Chu Yingxiong laughed heartily.
"Boom boom boom!"
Chu Yingxiong's laughter abruptly stopped. The spatial gate above the altar roared and exploded, as if a massive hammer was smashing hard against the gate.
Chu Yingxiong was stunned. His altar should only summon eight beings from the Underworld.
In fact, four of these five altars were fake; only one was real. After the other altars were shattered, their energy would gather within this one altar.
This was a trap set by Chu Yingxiong, meant to prevent the Luo family from sensing something was wrong and coming to sabotage it. It must be said, Chu Yingxiong was meticulous and prepared for everything, and his cunning truly came in handy.
However, according to the Blood Killing Hall, this ancient ritual is a kind of contract. They have eight contract runes in total, and can only summon eight contracted beings to assist through the spatial gate.
To put it bluntly, this kind of contract is about hiring a group of thugs from another world, giving them benefits, and then they come to help.
Moreover, these contracts have a time limit. If it exceeds one hour, the contract disappears, and when the contract's power activates, they return to the Underworld.
But now that eight beings from the underworld have appeared, why are there still beings breaking down the Gate of Space?
"Boom...!"
With a loud explosion, the spatial gate shattered, giant hands tore through the void, the sky shattered, and a humanoid being with a pair of enormous wings appeared.
That being was much taller than the Bone Blade Flame Demon. Those beings were only as tall as its knees, its entire body wrapped in scales, and it even had a vertical eye growing from its brow.
As soon as that creature appeared, its terrifying aura suppressed the entire scene. Creatures like Bone Blade and Flame Demon had just been shouting and howling, utterly arrogant.
But after that creature appeared, they didn't dare move at all, even starting to tremble.
Chu Yingxiong was overjoyed; he hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise to summon such a terrifying creature.
"Kill them for me." Chu Yingxiong stood atop the alchemy furnace, shouting to the living beings.
But to his surprise, the Bone Blade Flame Demon and the other beings trembled all over, suddenly collapsed to the ground, and didn't dare move.
The last creature to emerge didn't even glance at Chu Yingxiong; instead, its eyes turned to Long Chen.
"Your name is Long Chen?"
The creature actually spoke human language, its voice so loud it seemed like a divine drum beating, shaking the soul to the point of shattering.
Luo Changwu, Luo Changwen, and the others were all shocked. This being from the underworld actually knew Long Chen?
Not only were they startled, even Long Chen himself looked completely baffled. He nodded and said,
"That's right, I am Long Chen."
"That's right. The King of Heaven once mentioned your name. You have done him a favor and asked us not to make things difficult for you.
I never expected to run into you here. It's truly surprising. After saying this, the creature actually sat down, grabbed a trembling Underworld being nearby, opened its huge mouth, and bit off half its head in one go.
The underworld creature trembled all over, but strangely, it dared not make a sound.
"Crack."
The creature took another bite, biting off the remaining half of its head, as if they had just picked up a radish by the roadside and started eating. Luo Changwen, Luo Changwu, and the others felt their scalps tingle; they had never seen such a terrifying creature.
The other beings from the underworld did not scatter or flee, but instead lay on the ground, not daring to move, as if waiting for the creature to come and devour.
While eating, the creature looked at Long Chen in confusion and said, "No one dares to disobey the Heavenly King's orders, but I'm curious—how could someone as weak as you possibly do him a favor?" "
Heavenly King?" Long Chen didn't know any Heavenly King. Suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind,He couldn't help but shudder:
"Could it be it?"
