Chapter 429: 423

"Alright, let’s continue on and head towards the inner layer!" The next second, Xia Xi spoke, "Senior brothers, will you come with us?"

"To the inner layer? Why?" Yang Ling sneered, "The closer to the inner layer, the more dangerous it is. Don’t you understand such simple logic? Tired of living?"

"We’re just getting closer to the inner layer, not going in!" Xia Xi added.

Lan Su also hurriedly said, "With so many of us together, as long as we don’t actually enter the inner layer, nothing bad will definitely happen!"

"That is true!" Yang Ling frowned but seemed to agree.

Aside, Su Chen sighed with relief in his heart and felt even more gratitude towards Xia Xi and Lan Su.

He knew that the two women insisted on heading towards the inner layer for his sake. In fact, it was true that the closer they got to the inner layer, the more dangerous it became.

This bond of comradeship was heavy and deep.

"Let’s go!" Chen Yu smiled, "Enough eating, we’ve eaten enough already..."

Su Chen silently stepped back a few paces, then lifted Ling Long from the ground onto his back.

This action caught the attention of Yang Ling and the other two.

"Who is she?" Yang Ling demanded.

"She is Sister Ling Long, Brother Su’s wife, and she’s hurt!" Lan Su quickly answered, yet she didn’t mention Su Chen’s intention to take Ling Long into the inner layer.

"Half dead anyway, might as well throw her away!" Yang Ling huffed, "A burden!"

Head bowed, a cold murderous intent flashed in Su Chen’s eyes, fleeting and invisible to everyone else...

Yang Ling’s harsh words had just been spoken, and everyone instinctively looked at Su Chen, seemingly curious about how he would respond.

Unfortunately.

There was none.

"Coward!" Chen Yu became even more playful, muttering loudly enough for everyone to hear.

Su Chen remained silent, head down.

Xia Xi gave Su Chen a deep look, the disappointment in her beautiful eyes only growing thicker.

In the time that followed.

Su Chen was like a mute.

Not uttering a word, he simply carried Ling Long silently, following behind Yang Ling, Huang Qi, Chen Yu, Xia Xi, Lan Su, An Wuchao, and Wei Ziyao.

With the addition of Yang Ling and his two companions.

Their group’s strength significantly increased, making them well-resourced and much more at ease.

On the way to the inner layer, their speed was swift, and many Demon Beasts dared not approach. The few that did were easily dispatched by Yang Ling and his group.

Of course, Su Chen wasn’t spared from ridicule.

It seemed they thought Su Chen was the biggest coward of them all, a ball of dough, a lump of clay, ready to be humiliated and molded at will, so Yang Ling and Chen Yu’s verbal abuse grew increasingly excessive.

In the beginning, Lan Su would still try to stop Yang Ling and Chen Yu from insulting Su Chen.

But gradually, as Su Chen took the abuse without retort and remained silent for too long, Lan Su stopped interceding as well, her heart filled with disappointment.

She even started to doubt whether the incident of Su Chen descending like a divine soldier, unexpectedly saving them and slaying the Blood-Backed Bull, was real?

Throughout it all, Su Chen offered no explanations, said nothing, just kept walking in silence.

In his mind, he was calculating the distance to the inner layer.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Three shichen later.

They were getting closer and closer to the inner layer.

Suddenly.

Su Chen, who had been silent all along, suddenly changed his face dramatically and said, "Nobody make a sound, there’s a terrifying Demon Beast nearby!!!"

Jiuyou warned him; a warning from Jiuyou was definitely not to be taken lightly.

Unfortunately, just as Su Chen finished speaking, Yang Ling shouted, "Shut up, you piece of trash! None of us sensed any terrifying Demon Beasts nearby, how did you sense it? Spreading panic with baseless fears!"

"All this time, I thought you were mute, but it turns out you can speak!" Chen Yu also arched an eyebrow, smiling contemptuously, "Could it be that you’ve been lost in your own world? Fantasizing? A terrifying Demon Beast? Where? It’s laughable. Are you trying to draw attention? To prove you’re not useless?"

Having said this.

Chen Yu and Yang Ling burst into laughter.

Though Xia Xi, Lan Su, Wei Ziyao, and An Wuchao didn’t say anything, they also didn’t really believe it. Mainly because, generally speaking, a Demon Beast would always give off a breath when approaching.

But now, there genuinely wasn’t a trace of Qi to be sensed.

"Run!!!" Without glancing at Yang Ling, Chen Yu, and Huang Qi, Su Chen shouted to Xia Xi, Lan Su, An Wuchao, and Wei Ziyao.

Following his shout, Su Chen quickly shouldered Ling Long and deployed the Cloud Shadow Step, darting off to the side like a bolt of light.

"Idiot!" Yang Ling spat out a mouthful of saliva, watching Su Chen disappear into the distance with utter disdain.

At the same second.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Xi, Lan Su, An Wuchao, and Wei Ziyao glanced at each other and began to use their movement techniques, chasing after Su Chen.

In the end, they chose to trust Su Chen, although it was a very, very reluctant trust that also forced them to run with him.

It was at that second.

"Hum..." Suddenly, a deafening roar, almost piercing everyone’s eardrums, resounded throughout the area.

With that sound rippling through the air, the enormous trees all around began to tremble, and the leaves and branches danced wildly in the sky, the air itself whirling crazily, forming a hurricane-like sonic storm.

A terrifying, heavy, Evil Qi filled the air, spreading out with the sonic storm.

Yang Ling, Huang Qi, and Chen Yu’s faces turned extremely pale, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear.

This... how is this possible? There really is a Demon Beast? And that Qi, it’s clearly that of a Ninth Rotation Hollow Void Realm level Demon Beast!

Such level of Demon Beast could almost sweep away all human Martial Cultivators below the Divine Power Realm.

Damn it!!!

It’s too powerful!

How could we encounter such a high-level Demon Beast here?

Without any hesitation, the three of them turned pale and began to circulate their Mysterious Qi, running towards the direction Su Chen had dashed off towards. Why that particular direction? Because, as it happened, Su Chen had run in the opposite direction of the terrifying Demon Beast’s Qi, putting the greatest distance between them.

"Su Chen didn’t lie to us!" Xia Xi, already using her movement technique and darting off like a streak of light, suddenly shouted, "We need to speed up!"

Lan Su’s small face turned solemn, almost devoid of color, as she bit her lip, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Behind them, the breath of the terrible Demon Beast was too strong! So powerful that she felt like she was about to suffocate!

Luckily, she had listened to Su Chen’s words and had already fled a significant distance. Otherwise, their chances would be slim.

As everyone began to flee.

Behind them.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

......

The ground shook as if there were an earthquake!!!

Although it was still unseen, the trembling of the ground indicated that it was undoubtedly a gigantic Demon Beast giving chase, its heavy steps causing the earth to tremble with each footfall.
