Chapter 436: Chapter 430: Strange Fog (3 Updates)

"This boy is now heavily injured and can only threaten us with self-destruction. We’ll just keep a little distance, but we won’t leave. I think it won’t be long before he passes out!" Huang Qi suddenly spoke up.

Yang Ling and Chen Yu nodded, knowing in their hearts that this was the best and safest method, but it was still so frustrating!!! Especially the unrestrained cursing from Su Chen made them itch to tear him to pieces right there and then.

"Why so silent now? Hahaha..." The next second, Su Chen burst into laughter and, dragging his heavily injured body, turned around and walked away.

"Want to leave? Su Chen, weren’t you going to self-destruct?" Yang Ling roared, "Who are you trying to scare?"

"I’m trying to scare you!" Su Chen locked eyes with Yang Ling and blinked, "Have the guts to come closer!"

"You..." Yang Ling was almost choked with rage, but his body wisely would absolutely not get closer to Su Chen just to argue over this breath.

"Alright, let him say whatever he wants, we won’t respond, just silently follow him. Once he’s dead, we’ll take his Storage Bag, and the Ancient Arm Ape will still be ours. For the sake of the Ancient Arm Ape, we will endure!" Huang Qi said sternly.

Yang Ling and Chen Yu nodded.

Meanwhile, far away, Su Chen dragged his heavily injured body, walking while laughing loudly, "I’ve seen cowards but never such monumental cowards, hahaha... laughing to death here, if I really had you several fools as sons, I would die of shame!"

Yang Ling’s fists clenched so tightly they creaked, his face so gloomy it looked like that of a corpse—when had Yang Ling ever been insulted like this before?

"He is now provoking us, cursing at us, just to force us to lose our reason and approach him, then he’ll self-destruct and take us down with him!" Huang Qi said indifferently, "He’s very clear about his own situation—gravely injured and on the verge of death, very unlikely to survive..."

"So, we have to endure it. Don’t get truly provoked and end up as cannon fodder!" Chen Yu also agreed, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile, "Let him curse however he wants, it doesn’t take a piece of flesh off us!"

Yang Ling nodded, as if persuaded.

Following that, Su Chen cursed even worse!!!

Unreservedly.

Extremely unpleasant to hear.

But Yang Ling and the other two could only remain silent.

"Jiuyou, the more I curse, the more they’re afraid, the more they think I’m desperately waiting to self-destruct and take them down to Hell with me, right?" Su Chen communicated with Jiuyou, smiling as he spoke, "Little do they know, even if I wanted to self-destruct, I couldn’t..."

How was Su Chen able to create such a realistic aura of self-destruction last time? It was because at that moment, he really did self-destruct! There was no falsehood!

Unfortunately, he had a mysterious force within his body that prevented the self-destruction from succeeding.

So, in the end, Su Chen’s only point of reliance—the self-destruction—was just a bluff; he couldn’t actually do it.

Right now, he was a cripple. If Yang Ling and the other two were a bit braver and charged at him, they could easily crush him.

Too bad.

All three were afraid.

"Young boy Su, you really are rotten to the core!" Jiuyou said with a laugh, "Human nature is complicated, the happier you curse, the less daring they are, it’s quite amusing!"

Time ticked by, second by second.

Dragging his heavily injured body, Su Chen had already walked for one Shichen.

In this shichen, Yang Ling and his companions had not relaxed, remaining about one hundred meters behind the target, neither too close nor too far, just right.

"This young boy seems to want to enter the inner layer!" Suddenly, Yang Ling noticed something, "We’re almost at the edge of the inner layer..."

Huang Qi and Chen Yu furrowed their brows; they had noticed it too.

"Damn it!" Chen Yu cursed under his breath, "We absolutely can’t go into the inner layer, the risks outweigh the gains. It is said that martial cultivators who enter the inner layer hardly ever come out alive."

"So what do we do now?" Yang Ling was anxious, to approach Su Chen? Fearful that Su Chen would self-detonate. To not approach Su Chen, Su Chen would soon enter the inner layer.

Caught between a rock and a hard place!

Huang Qi suddenly stopped.

"What’s the matter?" Yang Ling and Chen Yu also instinctively stopped and looked towards Huang Qi, "Why have you stopped?"

"As desirable as the Ancient Arm Ape is, it’s not as important as having a life!" Huang Qi spoke solemnly.

"But what if Su Chen isn’t really daring to self-detonate and is deceiving us? What if the inner layer isn’t that dangerous and we can survive? The Ancient Arm Ape! That is an Ancient Arm Ape! Just getting it would boost our strength considerably!" Yang Ling grew anxious, his voice rose, and his complexion turned red.

"You said it yourself, ’what if.’" Huang Qi shook his head, "We only have one life, and I can’t gamble with it!"

"Let’s go back!" Chen Yu also suddenly spoke up, "Although the Ancient Arm Ape is valuable, our Holy Spirit Martial Arts Academy is not lacking in martial cultivation resources. There is no need to risk our lives for the Ancient Arm Ape!"

"Damn!" Yang Ling cursed frustratedly, staring fixedly at the figure of Su Chen ahead, his heart filled with unwillingness, rage, and greed that were nearly burning him up, but in the end, he chose to stick with Huang Qi and Chen Yu.

In the distance.

"Young boy Su, those three have stopped!" Jiuyou said with a laugh, "In the end, they lacked the courage."

"They must be offspring from major families, cherishing their lives!" Su Chen was not surprised; the higher one’s status, the more talented, well-connected, and with significant backgrounds, the more they valued their lives.

In contrast, it was someone like him, who rose from humble beginnings little by little, who had the courage to truly risk everything.

"Such temperament will not reach the pinnacle of the Martial Path," Jiuyou said disdainfully, "Young boy Su, are you still going into the inner layer?"

"Go, why not?" Su Chen responded decisively, "With my injuries so severe, if I don’t go into the inner layer, death is certain. Not to mention whether Yang Ling and his men would truly give up. Even the possibility of encountering other martial cultivators would pose a life-or-death threat to me. On the other hand, the inner layer, despite its dangers, might also present an opportunity."

"Then let’s go in!" Jiuyou hummed in agreement, not objecting.

Soon.

A thick fog appeared before Su Chen’s eyes.

This fog was dense, a light grey color, thick to the point that visibility was only about one meter.

"This fog must be the barrier separating the inner and outer parts of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range!" Su Chen’s eyes lit up, "Now I’m safe. Even if Yang Ling and his men change their minds and follow, they can’t find me!"

Indeed.

This vast fog almost encircled the entire central area of the Dragon Blood Mountain Range – so extensive! The visibility was almost zero! As long as he stayed quiet, even the Divine Capital would struggle to find him!

"Strange, there’s not a single Demon Beast or even a life aura in this fog..." Jiuyou muttered, but on the ground in the mist, there were skeletons, one after another. Among them, there were human skeletons as well as Demon Beast skeletons, all dead in the fog."
