The Desolate Beast's Strength Was Terrifying

As Lin Che's voice fell, many Corpse Yin Sect disciples in uniform robes suddenly emerged from the swirling clouds in the sky.

These Corpse Yin Sect disciples had each brought their own corpse puppets, and every one of them had cultivation above the Core Formation realm.

Among them were eight experts at the early Nascent Soul Stage, enough to show just how seriously the Corpse Yin Sect regarded this matter.

After all, the Tiangang Sect was an affiliated sect of a level-four cultivation country. It had several Spirit Severing Stage experts within its ranks, and even the Corpse Yin Sect of a level-four cultivation country had to show it some respect. Thus, when they learned that Xu Liguo had been captured, they attached great importance to the matter.

Xu Liguo was so excited he was nearly in tears. "Family of the Corpse Yin Sect, you've finally come! If you'd come any later, I really would have died at the hands of this Fiend Star!"

Zhao Chuanliang, the sect master of the Corpse Yin Sect of Fire Ember Country, fixed a cold gaze on Lin Che atop the Azure Dragon's head, then turned to Xu Liguo, the Tiangang Sect disciple. He flew into a rage at once. "You are Lin Che, the one who captured Tiangang Sect disciple Xu Liguo?"

With one hand behind his back, Lin Che sneered repeatedly. "I didn't expect the Corpse Yin Sect to bring so many cultivators. Perfect. Today, you will become departed souls within my soul banner."

Zhao Chuanliang flew into a furious rage and pointed at Lin Che's nose as he cursed, "Insolent! A mere junior dares to be so arrogant! If I let you leave today, how will my Corpse Yin Sect answer to our superior sect in the future?"

"Too noisy."

Lin Che raised a finger slightly. In an instant, surging spiritual power shot forth like raging tidal waves. Several Core Formation cultivators before him exploded and died the moment they came into contact with that force.

Even the corpse puppets in the distance could not escape death. They had no time to react before they were reduced to dust within the ripples of that sound, vanishing without a trace.

Seeing his sect's cultivators slaughtered on the spot, Zhao Chuanliang, as sect master, was naturally beside himself with rage.

His old face flushed red, and Zhao Chuanliang could no longer suppress the fury in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he rapidly formed hand seals and shouted:

"Arrogant junior, you dare act so presumptuously before the experts of my Corpse Yin Sect! If I do not kill you here today, how will my Corpse Yin Sect ever stand firm in the future?"

With that, Zhao Chuanliang showed no restraint as he unleashed his strongest technique. A colossal mountain stretching hundreds of zhang suddenly appeared in midair. An icy blue aura rushed forth, as though it intended to devour every living being in this place.

"Nine Nether Profound Ice Formation!"

"Fall!"

Zhao Chuanliang suddenly exerted force with his right hand, controlling the glacier above to smash ruthlessly toward Lin Che below with the force of thunder, seemingly intending to kill the junior before him on the spot.

Just as the glacier was about to strike Lin Che, the Desolate Beast Bloodfiend Azure Dragon suddenly tore through the air and rose into the sky.

Before the glacier could descend, the Bloodfiend Azure Dragon opened its gaping maw. A sudden beastly roar rang out like thunder on a clear day, echoing through the heavens and shattering the tranquility between heaven and earth.

The enormous roar seemed to explode right beside their ears, making the minds of the Corpse Yin Sect experts tremble.

Yet it was not over. The Bloodfiend Azure Dragon hovered in midair and unleashed another beastly roar at the Corpse Yin Sect experts below.

The space before them rippled violently, and then the sound waves expanded outward like lightning.

A thunderous boom rang out. The calm lake surface seemed as though a bomb had been dropped into it, erupting with enormous waves seven or eight zhang high.

They crashed down with a boom, and the splashing water and mist blanketed the entire small valley in hazy moisture.

The dragon's roar burst forth like furious thunder amid dense storm clouds, rolling outward from the Bloodfiend Azure Dragon as its center. Even the deafening sound of the waterfall crashing down was drowned out by the dragon's cry.

It could be faintly heard throughout a radius of ten li. Wherever the sound waves passed, all beasts collapsed limp. Even Nascent Soul Stage experts had their souls violently shaken by the trace of dragon aura contained within the roar.

Some weaker wolves, tigers, leopards, and other beasts near the lake were directly shaken to death by those thunderous sound waves!

"This is a Desolate Beast? How is that possible?!"

Zhao Chuanliang, the Corpse Yin Sect's sect master, was instantly pale with shock. He could not believe that the Azure Dragon before him was a Desolate Beast. That was an existence equivalent to a Nascent Soul Transformation stage expert!

Its ear-splitting roar alone had already killed or injured more than half of the Corpse Yin Sect experts. Then just how powerful must its master, Lin Che, be?

"Quick, activate the teleportation formation and leave this place! Hurry!"

Lin Che snorted coldly and slowly raised his right hand. "Only thinking of fleeing now? Too late."

Crimson energy suddenly shot out from Lin Che's hand. Within a few leaps, it caught up to the fleeing Corpse Yin Sect experts and nearly slaughtered all the experts present in a short time.

Not only that, the eight leading cultivators at the early Nascent Soul Stage could not withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul Transformation stage expert at all. The instant they made contact, those Nascent Soul cultivators died on the spot, their souls scattered.

Even their sect master, Zhao Chuanliang, met the same fate. The moment he touched that mass of energy, his body turned directly into dust and vanished without a trace.

Congratulations to the host for killing eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and eighty Core Formation cultivators. Reward: Slaughter Points +15

Hearing the system notification by his ear, Lin Che felt somewhat speechless. Back when he was at the Nascent Soul Stage, killing a single Nascent Soul Stage expert would at least give him a chance to advance his cultivation.

Now it seemed that if he wanted to use the system to break through to the late Nascent Soul Transformation stage, he would need to kill Nascent Soul Transformation stage cultivators of even greater strength.

Thinking of this, Lin Che felt somewhat helpless. However, entering the Ancient God's Land should allow him to advance his cultivation. After all, experts were as numerous as clouds within the Ancient God's Land. As long as he killed them, the rewards would naturally be extremely generous.

Xu Liguo had long since been frightened into trembling. With a mournful face, he said, "Master, I was wrong. I won't dare do it again. I was blinded by greed for a moment. I am guilty. I repent!"

Lin Che cast a cold glance at Xu Liguo behind him and said indifferently, "If you have any other means of summoning the Corpse Yin Sect, use them all at once. I happen to be short of souls for my soul banner."

"Y-you knew all along?"

Xu Liguo stood there blankly. Already furious, he was scared half to death when he saw the Human Sovereign Banner in Lin Che's hand, especially with black smoke still rising from it.

He immediately wrapped his arms around Lin Che's arm and pleaded with a mournful expression, "I was wrong, Master. Spare my life."

Lin Che glanced at the obsequious Xu Liguo and snorted coldly. He continued controlling the Azure Dragon beneath him as they flew toward Starfall Ruins.

When dealing with a turncoat like Xu Liguo, one had to be tougher sometimes. Otherwise, there was no telling what outrageous things this fellow might do.
