But anger is anger, and what needs to be faced still needs to be faced.
The monsters pounced quickly, and they could only try to gather their remaining troops to form a defensive formation. Even the demons of hell subconsciously obeyed their commands.
After all, they had already been abandoned by the Skin-Peeling Demon King, and fighting alone would only lead to their deaths.
Zaun glanced towards the battlefield. Bloodthirsty Crocodile Ancestor and Fear Shadow Fiend were indeed powerful. Although they were at a significant disadvantage, it wouldn't be easy for those monsters to deal with them in a short time. It would probably take a while for the battle to continue.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, put one arm around Shang Liuyu's lower abdomen, held her tightly in his arms, and slowly moved towards the cave entrance.
Although the two of them have completely concealed their presence and figures, they could still be exposed if they accidentally made any sound.
There were too many severed limbs and broken weapons on the ground, and it was easy to make a sound if you stepped on the wrong one.
Especially after suddenly losing sight of him, the monsters became very agitated, pacing around and slashing with their claws and weapons at any moment. Because they were so dense, Zaun had to carefully dodge them.
So he moved very slowly throughout the whole process, so slowly that Shang Liuyu became a little flustered.
She was, after all, a naive young girl, and now, being held in a man's arms like this, as they moved slowly forward, their young bodies inevitably rubbed against each other. Feeling the masculine aura around her, Shang Liuyu couldn't help but bite her lip.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind: had he been holding her sister like this next door a few days ago...?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, her face flushed red, and her heart raced.
"Calm your mind." Zu An hurriedly reminded her in secret. His skill could only barely protect Shang Liuyu, but if her body reacted too much, she would still be easily discovered.
Shang Liuyu, being a free spirit, quickly adjusted his mindset, suppressed his evil thoughts, and calmed down.
So, Zuan stealthily made his way to the vicinity of the cave entrance. Shang Liuyu looked ahead with some concern. The powerful monster with a human body and a dragon tail was blocking the way. Its enormous body left almost no gaps for the two of them to pass through. It would probably be difficult for them to get through.
With Zaun's cultivation level, he could defeat that monster, but that would attract more monsters with human bodies and dragon tails, reducing the pressure on Bloodthirsty Crocodile Ancestor and Fear Shadow Demon. They would definitely stop at nothing to keep him here.
Just as she was worrying, her vision suddenly blurred, and she found herself and Zuan at the cave entrance, while the monster with a human body and a dragon tail appeared where the two of them had just been.
Teleportation!
The monster with a human body and a dragon tail looked around in confusion, but quickly realized what was going on. It roared and pounced on the two of them.
However, Zu An was faster. Once he left the main hall, he had no more scruples and, with Shang Liuyu, he ran forward for dozens of miles as if he had teleported.
But those monsters with human bodies, dragon tails, and three heads and six arms were also quite fast, relentlessly pursuing them. Even with Zaun's speed, it was difficult for him to completely shake them off.
After the two crossed a long bridge spanning a cliff, the monsters seemed to be wary of something, stopping at the bridge and pacing restlessly, roaring at the two's backs.
“They seem afraid to cross this bridge.” Shang Liuyu’s cheeks flushed slightly as she finally got down from the other person’s arms.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "There must be something they're afraid of behind them."
Shang Liuyu's expression changed slightly: "Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if we made them all afraid?"
These monsters are already incredibly powerful; they even tore apart beings at the Earth Immortal level.
“We have to go and see, the Skinning Demon King is just ahead.” Zaun suddenly paused, his expression somewhat strange. “And I’ve noticed a coincidence, the calling voice seems to be coming from the same direction.”
Shang Liuyu stared wide-eyed, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Zu'an didn't waste any time and continued to hold Shang Liuyu's hand as they hurried forward.
Soon they arrived at a cliff, and Zuan's speed slowed down. It turned out that the Skin-Peeling Demon King was standing on the edge of the cliff.
Below the cliff, thick, grayish-white vapor churned and surged, resembling a sea of clouds.
That's the smell of death!
Both Zuan and Shang Liuyu were horrified, having never seen such a dense, almost tangible aura of death before.
Occasionally, a strong current from the seabed would flow by, breaking through some thick white vapor, offering a fleeting glimpse of the scene below.
It was a huge black vortex. You have to know that this is already deep in the ocean. I never expected that there would be such a huge abyss at such a deep seabed.
Just one glance at it feels like it's going to suck you in completely; it's a godsend for those with thalassophobia!
Zuan suddenly remembered something Shang Hongyu had mentioned before: there was an ancient legend about the sea tribe that the Dragon King, who seemed to be the king of the sea tribe, was actually just a group of guardians, protecting a mysterious abyss.
Could the legend be true, and the one guarding this abyss right before our eyes?
What lies beneath this abyss?
At this moment, the Skin-Peeling Demon King noticed their arrival, turned around and stared at him mockingly: "You've finally come."
Zaun smiled, suppressing his doubts about the Abyss: "You don't seem surprised by my arrival?"
“Of course, you’re different from those idiots.” The Skin-Peeling Demon King’s expression was somewhat strange. “After all, you’re not really the Lord of All Changes. Your acting skills during this period have even amazed me.”
Shang Liuyu's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Zu An with concern.
