Chapter 1398 Demon Devourer Blood Prison

The moment the palm coalesced, however, the Blood Pheasant King froze as a terrifying force pressed down on him.

The power of the palm also dropped.

At this moment, Qi Can had stabbed out his spear and easily shattered the palm. The spear kept zapping like a lightning bolt and pierced the Blood Pheasant King’s left shoulder.

“You...!”

The Blood Pheasant King was enraged, but even more so horrified as the mountain-like pressure kept him in place, preventing him from resisting.

This completely sealed away his fighting power. Otherwise, how could he have been stabbed?

Swish!

The spear nimbly moved like a green bolt as it tore through the air like a canvas. Its owner, a berserk Qi Can, seemed to have lost his sanity as he exuded a hair-raising aura.

Poof poof poof!

In just a blink of an eye, a series of cup-sized holes appeared on the Blood Pheasant King. From them, blood splattered and flowed. He let out a miserable scream while trying desperately to dodge to no avail.

“Damn it, his aura alone can restrain me and my battle power. Just how terrifying is that guy’s strength?” A chill spread all over the Blood Pheasant King as he realized the dire situation he was in.

He wasn’t afraid of Qi Can, but rather Lin Xun who was standing in the air.

“Run! I must run!”

As the Blood Pheasant King mobilized his power like crazy, bestial lights erupted from him and his aura exploded.

However, it was all futile.

No matter how hard he tried, the terrifying pressure on him remained a godly, immovable mountain. It pressed down on him so hard that he was close to suffocating.

Meanwhile, behind Lin Xun, the students of Blood Kill Camp had all been rendered speechless by shock.

Since they were standing in the air, they could see everything that had happened in the canyon. It was simply unimaginable to them that the Blood Pheasant King, who was rumored to possess extremely horrifying strength, could appear so weak and powerless in front of their instructor!

At the same time, they also noticed that the other monster-beasts all over the canyon were all prostrate and trembling. Not to mention aiding the Blood Pheasant King, they didn’t even have the strength to crawl up.

“It must be Senior Lin!”

The students all arrived at the same guess and were convinced of it.

They believed that such unimaginable means could only be done by the legendary peerless Young Master Lin.

Pfff!

In the end, the Blood Pheasant King fell flat on the ground with an expression of unwillingness, rage, and confusion.

From beginning to end, he was like a worm stuck in a spider’s web, unable to struggle, resist, or escape.

It was a suffocating and humiliating death!

“Hoo~hoo~” Qi Can gasped for breath. On his face, there was no glee of having carried out his revenge.

The enemy had indeed died, but it couldn’t bring his friends and family back to life. What joy was there to speak of?

“Thank you!” Qi Can looked toward Lin Xun with a grateful expression.

He knew that without Lin Xun’s suppression, he would have been no match for the Blood Pheasant King.

“Let’s go.” Lin Xun smiled.

The group left the canyon.

After they left, the monster-beasts who were all prostrate died without a sound. The place became a graveyard of cold corpses, painting a chilling scene.

Meanwhile, as the group flew away, Lin Xun asked, “If you’re still feeling down, then why don’t you accompany me to the Sorrow Mountain Range?”

Qi Can was startled. “You’re going to kill the Black Bat King?”

Lin Xun smiled. “Why not?”

His reply was casual, but it revealed absolute dominance in the ears of Qi Can and his students!

Who else in this huge empire dared to look down on those beast kings like Lin Xun?

Qi Can felt his blood boil as he agreed without hesitation, “It’s my pleasure. As long as you don’t feel like I’m dragging your feet.”

To this, Lin Xun only said, “Let’s go.”

......

Sorrow Mountain Range.

“Move, quick!”

On a mountain, the Black Bat King was standing with his hands behind his back as he gave out orders.

In the vicinity, waves upon waves of monster-beasts were running around, each carrying a long, blood-red flag on their shoulder.

Densely packed blood-red flags were inserted into different areas. There were as many as hundreds of thousands of them, covering a radius of a thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

“See this? Once this array is set up, these thousand miles of land will be transformed into an isolated, blood-red prison that has the power to exterminate everything. Anyone below the Saint stage will be killed without fail!” The Black Bat King revealed a smug expression.

He was thin, with a sharp chin and jug ears. His long and narrow eyes were the color of blood. As he stood there like a mountain, a monstrous and ferocious aura spread.

Standing behind the Black Bat King was a group of monster-beast Kings who were his most capable subordinates.

One of them, who was a young man in a blood-red robe with a pretty face, asked with a smile, “My king, what exactly is the use of this array?”

The Black Bat King laughed, “I knew you wouldn’t comprehend it. See those red flags? Each of them cost the essence blood of a dozen human cultivators to make.”

The red-robed young man was astonished. “Heavens! There are at least ten thousand flags here. Does this mean a hundred thousand human cultivators were killed?”

The Black Bat King nonchalantly said, “How else could this Demon Devourer Blood Prison Array be set up? This array was taught to us by Lord Monster-Beast Ancestor. According to Lord Monster-Beast Ancestor, if the flags are refined from the essence blood of Saints, then this array will be able to kill even Saint-Kings!”

The monster-beast Kings all gasped in shock.

“But why set up an array now? Is that Lin Xun really so terrifying?” One of them was puzzled, feeling that it was a waste of time for the Black Bat King to go to such lengths to set up this array.

“The Golden Armor King is dead, killed by that Lin brat. Lord Monster-Beast Ancestor said that he has the power of at least the seventh longevity stage. He is extremely terrifying,” said the Black Bat King in a serious voice. “As you all know, the Southwest Province is the closest to us. If that brat wants to retaliate, then he will most likely start with the Sorrow Mountain Range.”

Hearing this, the other monster-beast Kings started to take this seriously.

The Black Bat King gazed into the distance, his scarlet eyes swirling with cold killing intent. “I’m setting this array for a rainy day. We stand to lose nothing leaving it here if Lin Xun doesn’t come anyway. And if he does come, then this is where he will die wretchedly!”

“Hahaha! Since Boss said so, I actually can’t wait for that brat to come. Rumor has it that he is now the most famous person in the empire who’s highly respected by those humans. His death will be a fatal blow to them.”

“That’s right! I’m also looking forward to him coming!”

The other monster-beast Kings all laughed.

Right then, a beast came and reported, “My great king, the array is ready!”

The Black Bat King’s spirit was jolted up. He ordered, “Relay my words and have everyone retreat from the Sorrow Mountain Range.”

Immediately, thousands of monster-beasts in the nearby area withdrew like a wave.

When all of them had retreated, the Black Bat King fished out a round, blood-red jade disk from his bosom and threw it.

Buzz~

The jade disk suddenly grew countless times larger and became a full moon hanging in the sky, spilling down blood-red rays of light.

All of a sudden, the region was filled with a blood aura so thick that it was almost sticky. The light wholy enveloped the ten thousand scarlet flags within the one-thousand-mile radius.

Rumble~

Hissing roars like that of ancient demons began to echo in the rolling blood light, and a boundless bloody breath dyed the air in a blinding red color.

Seeing this, the monster-beast Kings felt a horror fill their minds and chills run down their spines. The evil breath emanating from the grand array made their hearts tremble.

Boom!

The phenomenon vanished not long after.

The only thing that was left was the eerie blood-red moon quietly hanging in the sky.

“It’s completed!” The Black Bat King looked frenzied as he muttered, “Unless a Saint appears, no one in this empire can do anything to me with this array here!”

The other monster-beast Kings all voiced their congratulations.

The Black Bat King laughed joyously. Then, he noticed something. “Where is Blood Pheasant? How come he has not returned?”

Someone smiled. “That guy just slaughtered a city the other day. He’s probably still enjoying the spoils of war.”

Right at this moment, a wild beast bird suddenly swept down from the sky and urgently shouted, “Bad news, my king! The Blood Pheasant King and his underlings are all dead!”

The smiles on the monster-beasts’ faces instantly froze.

“Who did it?” asked a monster-beast King with an icy gaze.

“Isn’t it obvious?” snorted the Black Bat King coldly. “Right now in the empire, who else beside that brazen Lin Xun would dare to come to my territory and blatantly kill my subordinates?”

“What, he actually dares?!” The other monster-beast Kings were appalled.

“What are you afraid of? With the Demon Devourer Blood Prison Array in place, this king will turn him into a puddle of pus and blood as long as he dares to come!” The Black Bat King coldly swept a glance at them, somewhat dissatisfied with their reaction.

The other monster-beast Kings instantly regained their composure and smiled awkwardly.

“That’s right! As long as that brat dares to come here, he’ll die an ugly death!” They gritted their teeth, their eyes ferocious.

RUMBLE!

An earth-shattering explosion suddenly resounded in the distance, causing the entire area to tremble.

All the monster-beasts instantly looked over and saw that in that direction, a treasure ship had somehow appeared.

On the ship stood a group of people headed by a young man with black eyes and black hair. He looked ethereal as his clothes fluttered in the wind.

It was Lin Xun.

The earth-shattering explosion had been produced by a casual strike of his hitting the Demon Devourer Blood Prison Array.

From just a glance at the Sorrow Mountain Range, he could immediately see that the area of a thousand mile radius was completely covered in a grand, forbidden formation that oozed a ferocious and bloody aura.

“What a thick resentful air. Just how many people were killed to set up such a vile array?” Lin Xun frowned. An icy light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Black Bat King in the distance. “You are the Black Bat King?”

“Indeed. And you are Lin Xun, aren’t you? Nothing special.” The Black Bat King crossed his hands behind his back with an air of arrogance, “Since you’ve come, don’t even think of leaving!”

“Of course I won’t leave until you sinful beasts are all dead,” said Lin Xun calmly. Then, he transmitted his voice to Qi Can’s group, “You guys stay here. Watch me break this array and raze these mountains!”

With that, he left the ship. His clothes fluttered wildly as he flew toward the Sorrow Mountain Range.
