Boom—
The loud noise sent wild animals fleeing in terror, and flocks of birds took flight in fright.
Mu Feng, who was resting, suddenly sprang up from the ground, gripping a sword tightly in his hand.
Looking up, they saw that the Ninth Yin Demon had already assumed a fighting stance and was cautiously exploring the cave.
Mu Feng swallowed hard and made his way to the entrance of the cave.
Looking outwards, the outermost peak of the mountains is now only half its original shape.
"What happened?"
"Ha! We haven't even gone to them yet, and now they've delivered themselves to our doorstep! They really think we're easy targets!"
Mu Feng's eyes flickered slightly. "Ye Yao?"
The Ninth Yin Demon didn't reply, but simply pointed outside.
Following the direction of the Ninth Yin Demon's finger, Mu Feng saw a woman rapidly approaching on a gentle breeze, accompanied by a white cat with an arrogant expression.
"It really is them. Why did they come to our door on their own initiative?" Mu Feng was a little puzzled, and then flew out of the cave on his own initiative.
When Mu Feng looked directly at Ye Yao, he once again felt that fear from the depths of his soul.
He couldn't explain where this fear came from, but whenever he looked directly at Ye Yao, he couldn't help but feel his whole body tremble.
"Lord Ye? What brings you here?" Mu Feng asked.
Ye Yao didn't reply, she just looked at him coldly.
Despite the pressure, Mu Feng asked again, "Lord Ye? What is it you need?"
Ye Yao remained silent.
Mu Feng's mouth was dry, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"Lord Ye, instead of searching for an exit, you've come to find me. Are you here to kill me?"
"Um!"
"Wh-what?"
Before Mu Feng could react, Ye Yao had already attacked him.
Just as the Ninth Yin Demon was about to rush up to help, a pressure suppressed his power.
"What are you doing! Can't you see they're fighting one-on-one? You're so impatient, you don't understand the rules of fighting at all!"
The Ninth Yin Demon turned his head and saw a white cat with wings standing in front of him, scolding him in the tone of an adult reprimanding a child.
"Roar! This is outrageous!"
The Ninth Yin Demon roared and raised its claws to stab at Lin Chen.
"See, see? I told you, kids like you are the most easily agitated!"
Lin Chen was equally unyielding, continuing his verbal sparring while unleashing his land overlord bloodline talent to confront the Ninth Yin Demon head-on.
The Ninth Yin Demon's giant claw struck down, but Lin Chen easily dodged it with Ghost Flash.
At the same time, just before unleashing Ghost Flash, the claws tore through a large chunk of flesh from the Ninth Yin Demon.
The Ninth Yin Demon, in pain, went into a berserk state, repeatedly swinging its claws towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen then stopped doing something that was too much trouble and instead dodged the attacks of the Ninth Yin Demon.
"Pfft!"
After attacking Lin Chen, the Ninth Yin Demon suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and its aura became weak and listless.
"Roar! Ye Yao! She's the chosen one! How dare you, how dare you!"
Ye Yao arrived through the air, still clutching Mu Feng's corpse in her hand.
At this moment, Lin Chen stopped dodging and turned around to charge directly at the Ninth Yin Demon.
With Lin Chen in front and Ye Yao guarding behind, the Ninth Yin Demon was in dire straits.
"You forced me to do this, you all forced me to do this!"
The Ninth Yin Demon roared and then plunged his fist into his own chest.
As the Ninth Yin Demon pulled out his claws, a layer of skin was scraped off his body, revealing his true appearance.
It was a praying mantis shrouded in deathly aura, its body covered in white bones except for two pairs of claws!
"Heh, couldn't hold back any longer? Finally revealing your true colors?"
The Ninth Yin Demon asked in surprise, "What? How did you know?"
Lin Chen shook his head and ignored him, then called out to Ye Yao, who was further back, "Ye Yao, do you recognize this thing?"
Ye Yao observed for a while and then transmitted her voice, "It should be the Void Mantis race, which is quite common among magical beasts. However, the death aura on its body is somewhat special, and it looks a bit like the work of the Evil Emperor."
"Oh? That's interesting!" Lin Chen nodded, then looked at the Ninth Yin Demon Path:
"Not bad. The most common Void Mantis race has cultivated to this level. How about it? Are you getting used to the death aura of the Evil Emperor?"
The Ninth Yin Demon was now in complete panic. The fact that Lin Chen had already seen through his identity was completely overshadowed by this one sentence.
"Who, who are you people? How do you know all this?"
Lin Chen remained silent, thinking to himself, "Ye Yao, you Great Emperors should know that kind of method, right? It's using your mental power to check other people's memories."
"You mean soul searching?"
"Okay, hurry up and get started. I'm tired and don't want to ask anymore."
After saying that, Lin Chen flapped his little wings and found the nearest tree branch to lie down.
Seeing Lin Chen walk away, the Ninth Yin Demon instantly sprang to its feet and fled into the distance.
"Trying to run? Did you even ask me?!"
Suddenly, a majestic, godlike voice boomed in the ears of the Ninth Yin Demon.
Looking up, a huge and blurry figure appeared in the void, like the only true god in the world, looking down at the earth.
"Who exactly are you...?"
Buzzing—
Before the Ninth Yin Demon could finish speaking, a hand the size of the sky had already grabbed him.
When it was all over, the Ninth Yin Demon's eyes rolled back and his body fell to the ground.
"You've got some skills! You just used your mental power to kill someone so quietly."
Do you think this ability comes easily without cost?
Lin Chen scoffed and turned to study the death aura on the Ninth Yin Demon's corpse.
After Ye Yao finished processing the Ninth Yin Demon's memories, she asked, "Lin Chen, aren't you leaving yet?"
"Wait! I've eaten a bit too much these past two days. I need to advance my cultivation level to digest it!"
"That needs some digestion... What?! You've been promoted again!"
Lin Chen glanced at the naive woman and took out the reward the system had just given him.
Tianchen Pill: The pill used by the Supreme Peak to break through to the Void Breaking Realm!
Lin Chen is currently only a Three-Seal Supreme, not yet a Peak Supreme.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen took out all the spiritual pills he had on him, and swallowed them all, including the Heavenly Chen Pill, like chewing candy.
If it weren't for the attack by the strange beast, Lin Chen wouldn't have wanted to waste the spiritual pills like this.
Click click click—
As soon as Lin Chen swallowed the pill, a vortex of spiritual energy began to gather above his head.
Then, a breakthrough!
Two-Seal Supreme, One-Seal Supreme, Peak Supreme!
Finally… half a step into the Void Breakthrough!
Lin Chen is now just one step away from breaking through the Void Realm, but it is precisely this one step that is blocking his path.
"It's still not enough. It seems we still need to solve the beast quest!"
Lin Chen stretched and casually waved away the cloud of spiritual energy above his head.
He waved to Ye Yao, who was already dumbfounded, and said, "Little Yao, let's go out now!"
