Chapter 192: Chapter 143: Saving People and Blowing People Up (Seeking Monthly Passes and Subscriptions)_4

Du Chuang exclaimed in alarm, "Master, there are experts ahead!"

The elderly man responded, "No matter how skilled they are, they can’t compare to that ghostly thing behind us, rush through!"

The next moment, an underground space came into view of the three members from the Evil-Cutting Sect.

Witnessing the flying swords crisscrossing and the thunderous sounds, as they slaughtered the swarms of poisonous insects causing them to retreat steadily, surprise filled the eyes of the master and disciples.

The elderly man exclaimed in surprise, "Where did this sword hero come from?"

Du Chuang replied, "It seems they are not from the Zhou Tian Sect."

They quickened their pace, taking three steps in two, and ran towards another tunnel while the elderly man also shouted toward Lin Xing and the others, "Run! There’s a monster behind us."

Lin Xing looked at Du Chuang with surprise, thinking to himself, "Why are people from Evil-Cutting Sect here?"

At that moment, the roaring from the tunnel grew nearer.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow burst out, roaring at the people present.

It was a large humanoid creature on all fours, resembling a beast. Even when it was crawling, it stood three to four meters tall.

The huge humanoid creature seemed cramped as it slithered through the tunnel, pushing down large patches of dirt and sand as it moved.

Its skin exhibited a sickly gray-green color, occasionally dripping toxic liquid that corroded the ground and produced white smoke.

The eyes of the monster glowed with madness, and its whole body emitted a decaying stench, making it seem as though merely approaching it could bring about a plethora of diseases.

More frightening was the sight of more than a dozen tentacles on its back that resembled black streams of air; each tentacle ended in a distorted human face, continuously emitting mournful wails as if imprisoning countless lost souls.

"An evil spirit?"

Lin Xing saw the evil spirit charging toward him and swung his hand to shoot a flying shuttle missile.

With a loud crackling sound, the tentacles on the evil spirit’s back whipped out, colliding with the flying shuttle missile.

The human faces on the tentacles shattered explosively, releasing a piercing scream accompanied by a powerful shockwave.

Wherever the shockwave passed, it sent many hostages flying, but thankfully, Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu managed to save each one.

Swept by the shockwave, Lin Xing felt a strong discomfort in his body, as if he had been suddenly exhausted.

Jing Shiyu and the others also felt a sharp discomfort, looking at the evil spirit with astonishment.

Meanwhile, a new head regrew on the evil spirit’s tentacles while more tentacle heads opened their mouths, spewing out vast clouds of poison that spread throughout the underground space.

Du Chuang’s master shouted, "It’s no use, I am the second-generation hermit, and I’ve killed this evil spirit thrice. But this evil spirit has an immortal body, reduces physical strength, and unleashes deadly poison, the longer we fight, the more dangerous it becomes, let’s escape!"

Seeing the spreading toxic fog and the increasingly frenzied evil spirit, Jing Shiyu glanced at the dozens of hostages nearby, thinking that their effort should not go to waste.

Moreover, noticing that Lin Xing was hesitant to use the devastating flying shuttles, she understood the situation.

She then said to Lin Xing, "Let’s take them out first; the open area outside is more suitable for your battle."

Lin Xing nodded, "Let’s rescue them first, then we’ll find another place to fight."

Jing Shiyu used her psychic power to lift more than a dozen hostages while Lin Xing first used three devastating flying shuttles to momentarily repel Jade Girl, then led Master Bai and the remaining hostages toward the direction where Du Chuang and the others had escaped.

The evil spirit glanced at the fleeing Lin Xing before turning its head towards the nearer Jade Girl and charged with a roar.

Just then, a loud insect chirp rang out, and the evil spirit screamed and retreated continuously, ultimately chasing in the direction Lin Xing and the others had escaped.

Amid the spreading toxic fog, Ma Hong slowly emerged from underground, looking in the direction where everybody had left, and smirked slightly, "This evil spirit has actually been unleashed; next, we just need to collect their corpses."

Jade Girl asked, "Aren’t we going to make a move?"

Ma Hong shook his head, "This evil spirit attacks indiscriminately when it fights; if we go up, we’ll be attacked just the same."

"Moreover, once this creature goes mad, it won’t stop until it’s dead. Even I can only use the bans to drive it away."

"Just follow from a distance and watch how they get exhausted to death."

"Wait a moment..."

Jade Girl: "What’s wrong?"

Ma Hong: "Let me change my trousers first."

...

In another tunnel, the elderly man said to Lin Xing and the others, "...We came here to the base of the Zhou Tian Sect and discovered that they were secretly manufacturing these poisoned people, even attempting to transform them into evil spirits."

"This evil spirit, we don’t know if it was accidentally born here or if they created it."

"We saw it imprisoned in the deepest part, and we wanted to completely eradicate it, but we found out that the evil spirit is almost immortal. Instead of eliminating it, it chased us all the way here."

A bright light shone ahead, and the group sprinted forward, finally leaving the Zhou Tian Sect’s underground fortress and appearing in a forested mountain area.

Meanwhile, the roaring from behind grew closer and closer.

Lin Xing immediately said, "You all go further away and hide for now, let me handle this thing first."

Du Chuang looked at the masked Lin Xing and advised, "Senior, although you possess unparalleled Sword Control skills, you’ve seen it as well, this evil spirit not only has an immortal body but also carries severe poison and can sap the strength of its opponents."
