Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Blocking the Road_1

”Earth Heart Fire Python!”

A look of surprise appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes. The enormous python before him, comprised entirely of rock, was actually a Second-Grade Peak Exotic Beast—the Earth Heart Fire Python!

As the Earth Heart Fire Python appeared, everyone involuntarily retreated. This level of Demonic Beast was not something anyone among them could handle.

An Earth Heart Fire Python... Could it be the guardian beast of the Earth Heart Fire Lotus? Lin Ya’s brow furrowed. Her gaze then fell upon the location of the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, where the ground had begun to crumble. The Earth Heart Fire Lotus was in danger of falling into the crevices.

Not good! Lin Ya’s pretty face suddenly changed color. The Earth Heart Fire Lotus was her target this time. If it fell into the earth, she would walk away empty-handed.

”Worry-free Young Master, it’s a grave mistake to be distracted during a fight.”

At that moment, a sudden sneer cut through the air, startling Lin Ya. Yang Hong had seized the opportunity to attack.

Her beautiful eyes focused, and Lin Ya’s long whip lashed out, entangling Yang Hong’s beastial claws and preventing them from advancing another inch.

However, just then, a treacherous glimmer flashed in Yang Hong’s eyes. His beastial claw detached from his palm, and the five sharp claws shot through the air toward Lin Ya.

THWACK!

The claws were incredibly fast this time, and Lin Ya was caught off guard. She dodged three of them but was struck by the remaining two.

Threads of green liquid seeped from the claws that hit her and entered Lin Ya’s body.

Poison? Lin Ya’s expression changed. She hadn’t expected Yang Hong to resort to such a sinister trick.

”Hehe, Worry-free Young Master, this is Beast Poison. If you don’t find an antidote in time, you’ll end up looking just like me. Then, it’ll be incurable.”

A smug smile spread across Yang Hong’s face.

What? Upon hearing this, Lin Ya’s face began to lose color. Becoming like Yang Hong... that means undergoing Beastification! No woman could accept such a fate.

”The Earth Heart Fire Lotus—I’ll take that!” Yang Hong chuckled and immediately used his Light Skill, dashing towards the Earth Heart Fire Lotus like a bolt of lightning.

Just as he was about to reach the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, the Earth Heart Fire Python seemed to notice his movement. Its thick python tail swept out powerfully, sending the rock on which the Earth Heart Fire Lotus grew flying.

”Damn beast! Ignore those people—grab the Earth Heart Fire Lotus for me!”

Seeing the prize he’d almost grasped escape, Yang Hong became furious. If he couldn’t obtain the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, everything would be in vain.

The gaunt people in black obeyed the order and rushed towards the Earth Heart Fire Lotus.

But the Earth Heart Fire Python seemed determined to prevent them from getting the Earth Heart Fire Lotus. It coiled its tail once more and sent the Earth Heart Fire Lotus flying again.

The rock where the Earth Heart Fire Lotus had grown completely shattered. The lotus itself was fully revealed and actually flew right in front of Ling Chen.

With a gentle sweep of his hand, Ling Chen caught the Earth Heart Fire Lotus and stored it in his bag.

When something is delivered to your doorstep, it’s a waste not to accept it.

”Let’s go!”

Ling Chen glanced at Bai Susu, who was nearby, and then rapidly rushed towards the exit.

”Chase them!”

Seeing Ling Chen snatch the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, a fierce killing intent burst from Yang Hong’s eyes. He immediately abandoned Lin Ya and, with his men from the Myriad Beasts Sect, pursued Ling Chen.

”Worry-free Young Master, are you alright?” Yuan Tianxing asked, rushing to Lin Ya’s side and supporting her.

”I’m fine. You go after them too!”

Lin Ya was also reluctant to give up on the Earth Heart Fire Lotus. But she had been poisoned by Yang Hong’s Beast Poison and naturally couldn’t pursue them herself.

”Yes!”

Yuan Tianxing and the others cupped their fists and then pursued the Myriad Beasts Sect members.

By this time, Ling Chen and Bai Susu had escaped from the mine and landed on a small hilltop.

”Ling Chen, you dared to snatch the Earth Heart Fire Lotus right in front of the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Black Market! You really don’t value your life.”

Bai Susu looked at Ling Chen in disbelief. He’s incredibly daring, she thought. His actions could cost him his life here.

Ling Chen said dismissively, ”One must seek riches amidst danger. Besides, neither of these two factions is any good.”

The Myriad Beasts Sect was one thing, and the Black Market and the Blue Moon Commerce Association were also clearly trying to use them.

BOOM!

Another loud explosion erupted from the mine. A huge shadow burst out, accompanied by a deafening roar.

The Earth Heart Fire Python had broken out of the mine.

”It’s coming towards us!” Bai Susu exclaimed, her face filled with shock.

”This Earth Heart Fire Python can smell the Earth Heart Fire Lotus. As long as we’re within a certain range, it can easily find us,” Ling Chen said, his expression grim as he watched the massive, active python behind them.

”Let’s hurry. I used Fragrance Condensing Powder to mark our path on the way here. Let’s leave the valley first,” Bai Susu said worriedly.

Really? Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. If there’s a clear route, escaping will be much easier. He immediately nodded. ”If we successfully get the Earth Heart Fire Lotus today, I can give you one of its seeds.”

Ling Chen planned to use one of the three Earth Heart Fire Lotus seeds himself and give one to Ling Yin. He’d consider giving the last one to Bai Susu, especially if she proved helpful.

Bai Susu’s heart stirred. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t tempted by the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, but escaping was paramount right now. ”Now is not the time to talk about this! Let’s go!”

This Demonic Sound Valley is probably crawling with experts from the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Black Market by now.

Following Bai Susu, Ling Chen and she plunged into the dense forest.

About half an hour later, they emerged at the entrance of Demonic Sound Valley.

”We’re here!” Bai Susu’s beautiful eyes gleamed. Once they escaped from Demonic Sound Valley, they would be much safer.

Just as the two were preparing to rush out, a dark figure suddenly flashed before them, blocking their path.

They both stopped abruptly. Ling Chen’s expression darkened; the figure before them was none other than Beast King Yang Hong.

He hadn’t expected this man to be so fast!

”Hehe, trying to outrun people from My Beast Gate? You’re far too slow. Still, you two are quite capable; you almost managed to escape.”

A hint of mockery flickered in Yang Hong’s eyes. In his view, Ling Chen and Bai Susu were merely two little ants. They couldn’t stir up any trouble in front of him.

”Hand over the Earth Heart Fire Lotus. Otherwise, you should be well aware of the consequences.”

Yang Hong didn’t bother with pleasantries; he even disdained to make a move himself.
