Bang!
Under a single palm strike from Soul Heavenly Emperor, a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, the numerous Flame Lizardmen suffered a devastating calamity. The two white lizardmen standing at the very front were instantly reduced to nothingness, and the Flame Lizardmen behind them were unable to escape as well.
One move—just one move—and the Flame Lizardman race was cut in half.
"Chitter, chitter..."
For a time, the remaining Flame Lizardmen scattered and fled, strange chittering sounds continuously spilling from their mouths...
"Soul Heavenly Emperor, you truly are vicious..." Gu Yuan said blandly as he watched Soul Heavenly Emperor's actions. He did not feel much about it. In this world, weakness was the original sin. With the Flame Lizardmen's strength, trying to stop them from entering the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion was simply overestimating themselves and courting death.
"Gu Yuan, have you ever considered why Demon Saint, despite knowing there was an Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion here, was willing to reveal this information?"
Having killed so many living beings, Soul Heavenly Emperor did not care in the slightest. He looked at Gu Yuan and raised a question that had long troubled him.
"What do you mean?"
Gu Yuan remained guarded, wanting to hear what Soul Heavenly Emperor thought.
"Heh, you're as cautious as ever. What I mean is that Demon Saint may very well want the two of us to scout the way for him. How could the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion be guarded by only these beasts?" Soul Heavenly Emperor said, pointing at the Flame Lizardmen fleeing in every direction.
"Scouting the way... You mean there are even stronger tomb guardians ahead?"
Gu Yuan's tone was doubtful, but he had indeed considered that possibility before. Soul Heavenly Emperor's words only made him more certain of it.
"Correct!"
Soul Heavenly Emperor
