Chapter 638: Chapter 373: Initial Formation of Montum_2
Guarding the entrance of the Earthly Abyss was not to monitor the grandmasters returning from the abyss, as they weren’t eligible to trail such beings. They guarded the entrance rely to fend off any demons that might crawl out.
If a sixth-rank great demon appeared, they would strike and kill it, if a seventh-rank erged, they would imdiately retreat and report it.
“I wonder how long this Ice State Abyss passage will last.”
ng Danyun stood atop a broken boulder, explaining this to Zhao Zhenchuan by her side.
Zhao Zhenchuan shook his head and said, “According to usual circumstances, there should be at most another half-month. But even if the passage closes, as long as the power of Earth’s Veins hasn’t fully recovered, those grandmasters can still rise, we cannot stop them.”
“Hmm.”
...
ng Danyun pondered and responded.
She didn’t care whether the grandmasters could pass or not, her main concern was that once the entrance to the abyss gradually closed, the demons would no longer co through here, and there would be no need to guard this place anymore.
Although in these days, there had been no demon kings above the seventh rank erging, mostly sixth-rank demons, the trouble they caused was not insignificant. Those sixth-rank demons that ca from the abyss were exceptionally formidable, and even she, a true successor, found them quite tricky to deal with in one-on-one fights, taking a long ti to kill.
While the two were exchanging words.
Suddenly.
A wave of demon Qi emanated from the nearby rift of Earth’s Veins.
ng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan both halted their conversation and turned their gazes in that direction in unison.
“It’s coming.”
“Be careful.”
Both of them had a grim expression, each clenching their spirit weapons, familiar with such situations. Clearly, another demon had sensed the pathway from inside the abyss and was making its way up.
Whoosh!
In the next mont, a demon with scale armor, resembling a green fish but possessing four limbs on its belly, burst out from the fissure of Earth’s Veins. Although it was a fish demon, it was bizarre in appearance, and its na was unknown; however, its demon Qi was at the sixth rank.
By then, ng Danyun had already positioned the Peach Divine Sword in front of her, a faint glow spreading over its blade, standing slightly forward, waiting for the demon to approach to engage in combat.
“Only one?”
Zhao Zhenchuan also readied his spirit weapon, slightly relieved.
Although the demons from the earthly abyss were strong, both he and ng Danyun were not ordinary Six Viscera Realm individuals. Being among the top ranks under the Wind Cloud List, both could kill in single combat, and if they joined forces, they could win in monts.
Hiss…
After the fish demon leaped out from the Earth Abyss Rift, it first surveyed its surroundings and then emitted a strange hiss. It soon detected the presence of ng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan, imdiately showing a ferocious glint in its eyes, and turned its head towards them.
Its four limbs landed on the ground, then it began to approach the two.
ng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan, too, lifted their spirit weapons, advancing to et it and prepare to engage, aiming to kill it quickly.
But.
Almost as the fish demon reached the edge of the rift, about to leave its range, an anomaly suddenly occurred!
From the dark abyss rift, a burst of black shadow shot out, resembling a dark mass kneaded together, instantly clutching the fish demon’s four limbs, binding them and rapidly spreading upwards along its limbs.
Hiss!!
The fish demon’s demonic eyes instantly showed a human-like horror, struggling desperately to free itself, but to no avail. In just monts, its body was dyed black by the shadow and completely engulfed.
ng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan, upon seeing this, both turned pale.
This black shadow’s presence, sothing they were quite familiar with after guarding the Earth’s Veins rift for many days —
Demonic Qi!
This was a demon from inside the abyss!
In the current world above, demons were almost unseen since they posed a great threat. Once they appeared, they would attract the pursuit and extermination of Martial Arts masters of the Human Race, even individuals in the Blood Exchange Realm would take action personally.
But many demons still lingered inside the abyss, and occasionally, so had erged in these past days, generally at the fifth or sixth rank. However, the oppressive and terrifying aura emitted from the dark shadow in the current scene was evidently not sothing those ranks could compare to. To be able to corrode and devour a sixth-rank fish demon in an instant showed that this demon was trendously horrifying!
“No good, run!”
Zhao Zhenchuan turned pale, reacting instantly, and started to flee.
Anything above the seventh rank belonged to the realm of Ancient Demons, definitely not sothing he and ng Danyun could handle. It would take at least seven or eight more people like them, joining forces in a formation, to possibly suppress an ancient demon of the seventh rank.
ng Danyun also reacted very quickly. Their previous caution of not approaching the Earth’s Veins rift to initiate an attack, but instead waiting for the demon to co over for combat, was precisely to avoid this kind of situation. After all, it was extrely dangerous for anyone who wasn’t a grandmaster to approach the Earth’s Veins rift actively.
They, the protectors of the Six Viscera Realm, stationed at various points of the Cangshuang Mountains, were in place to deal with demons erging from the rift, but they also mostly served to monitor and imdiately retreat to report any larger troubles.
But.
The two had scarcely made their move, barely escaping about twenty or thirty yards,
when they saw the fish demon engulfed by the dark shadow. The shadow that extended from the rift suddenly completely entered its body, and then quietly lifted the entire demon corpse off the ground, suspended in the air, and opened a pair of pitch-black eyes like ink. A terrifying aura silently spread out.
