Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 772: Chapter 702: High Rank War God

Just as Tu Xiao’an had thought, the Giant Tree Monster’s territory was indeed the final border of the Red Mist Area.

With the Skeleton Monster leading the way, the red mist completely vanished after three kilometers.

Tu Xiao’an had walked out of the Fenhong Realm.

The moment he stepped out, Tu Xiao’an’s mood lifted. He was finally about to enter the Third Mountain.

The distance between him and Luo Ziyun was closing.

’That woman really knows how to get into trouble. Can’t she just stay put? Are the War Relics something you should be getting mixed up in?’

Even at his current level, Tu Xiao’an was a little intimidated by the mysterious War Relics.

The appearance of the War Relics had altered the entire world structure; one could only imagine how terrifying their power was.

Tu Xiao’an looked at the mountain forest not far ahead and wondered, ’That must be the territory of the Third Mountain.’

But when Tu Xiao’an looked over, there was no mist at all. It looked completely ordinary.

Just like a normal mountain.

But the more it was like this, the more Tu Xiao’an’s heart pounded with unease.

The first mountain was shrouded in thick fog and teeming with monsters. The second mountain, the Fenhong Realm, had Ghost Wanderers that claimed human lives.

And this third one was known as the death zone, a place with a fearsome reputation.

Although it was quiet ahead, it was definitely the calm before the storm.

Tu Xiao’an paused for a moment. The Skeleton Monster was already waving at him continuously.

’Hurry up already!’

’This ”local” really is different, completely unfazed.’

Tu Xiao’an took a few deep breaths and strode toward the final trial. It wasn’t that he was afraid, but he was being extra cautious. He didn’t want to fail due to a simple oversight; it was never wrong to be careful.

When Tu Xiao’an officially set foot on the Third Mountain, he was suddenly very surprised. Even the innate oppressive aura of Skeleton Mountain had vanished.

It was as if it desperately wanted people to walk right in.

The only thing missing was a firecracker welcome.

No mist, no oppressive aura, and no roars from any monsters.

Tu Xiao’an continuously scanned his surroundings. ’This is too abnormal, too bizarre.’

’Where on earth are the War Relics?’

Suddenly, a black shadow shot over from the front, moving as fast as the wind and lightning, and slammed head-on into the guiding Skeleton Monster, shattering it to pieces.

After the collision, with bones scattered all over the ground, the newcomer finally stopped. He looked at the bones on the ground in confusion and wondered aloud, ”Why is there a Skeleton Beast here?”

”Never mind. I have to escape. I need to get off this mountain as fast as possible.”

The newcomer muttered to himself. He cut a sorry figure—his clothes were tattered in many places and stained with a lot of blood, and he was clearly on edge. He seemed to be seeing enemies in every shadow.

Hm?

He saw Tu Xiao’an and looked utterly shocked.

”You’re a Demon?” the man asked, his gaze deep as he looked at Tu Xiao’an.

Tu Xiao’an, also quite surprised, stared back at the man who had just barreled out from the depths of the mountain.

To be able to so easily shatter the current Skeleton Monster, he was no ordinary person.

The man looked wretched, but his War God aura was incredibly strong. The very air around him seemed to ripple from his presence. He must have been at the peak of Level 38 Cultivation.

Moreover, he had known Tu Xiao’an wasn’t human with just a single glance.

That kind of insight was definitely linked to one’s own power.

Tu Xiao’an gave a noncommittal look, which served as a tacit agreement, then asked in return, ”Are you with Director Qin from X City?”

Fang Yong hadn’t actually told Tu Xiao’an their director’s full name, so this was the only way he could ask.

Upon hearing this, the man exclaimed in shock, ”You know Qin Weixiong?”

’So the director’s name is Qin Weixiong,’ Tu Xiao’an now knew.

”That’s right.” Tu Xiao’an nodded. ”Shouldn’t you all be in the War Relics right now? Why are you the only one out here?”

He was trying to fish for information.

The man was surprised again. ”You even know about that? Don’t tell me you’re also going to the War Relics?”

Tu Xiao’an shot the man a look. ’Does this guy not use his brain when he talks?’

’Isn’t that obvious? Why else would I come to the Third Skull Mountain? For a picnic?’

”Brother Yao, the War Relics are too terrifying! You can’t go in! Qin Weixiong and the others are already trapped inside. I’m afraid their chances are slim,” the man said, a look of terror on his face.

It’s definitely not an easy thing to see terror on the face of a dignified High Rank War God.

Hearing this, Tu Xiao’an frowned. ”Is Luo Ziyun inside?”

”You even know Lord Luo?” The man gave Tu Xiao’an a deep look. ’This Demon’s background seems extraordinary.’

”I’m asking you, is she in there or not?”

”Yes, she’s trapped too. And she’s injured.”

Tu Xiao’an’s heart skipped a beat. He said coolly, ”They’re all trapped inside, so how did you get out?”

”I...” The man hesitated for a moment, then said, ”My name is Feng Linjie, a High Rank War God ranked nineteenth on the official Heavenly Ranking. I entered the War Relics with Brother Qin and the others, but we discovered it was incredibly dangerous inside. Brother Qin had me come out first to get reinforcements, because the War Relics can’t be closed by the power of one person alone. So, I didn’t go in too deep and retreated in time.”

His story didn’t have any obvious flaws.

Tu Xiao’an pondered for a moment, then said, ”I’m your reinforcement. Lead the way.”

”Brother Yao, you alone won’t be enough. I’ll give you directions, you go on ahead. I need to get off this mountain immediately and find other masters from the Heavenly Ranking to come help.”

With that, Feng Linjie hurriedly gave Tu Xiao’an a set of coordinates and turned to leave.

”You’re probably not going for reinforcements, but running for your life, aren’t you?” Tu Xiao’an said coldly as Feng Linjie was about to pass him.

Feng Linjie froze, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. ”Brother Yao, you’ve misunderstood. The War Relics are truly not what we imagined. Without enough powerful experts, going in is just suicide.”

”Mm, you’re right. It must be pretty terrifying. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have scared a High Rank War God like you to the point of nearly wetting your pants, right?”

”What did you say?”

Feng Linjie instantly flew into a rage. He had patiently tried to reason with this Demon, and the other party actually dared to mock him.

Not to be outdone, Tu Xiao’an retorted, ”I don’t care if you’re getting reinforcements or going down the mountain for a wedding feast. First, you’re taking me to the War Relics.”

How was Tu Xiao’an supposed to find it with just a set of coordinates? It’s not like Skeleton Mountain was his backyard.

Besides, there was no guarantee the coordinates he gave were even reliable.

”Brother Yao, your request is unreasonable! I have a heavy responsibility and cannot afford to waste a single moment. If the reinforcements are late, Brother Qin and Lord Luo’s lives will be in danger. Is that a responsibility you can bear?”

Tu Xiao’an said, ”I told you, I am your reinforcement. Just lead the way.”

”You...” Feng Linjie huffed. ”A Demon is a Demon, can’t understand human words. I’ll be taking my leave.”

”You dare take another step.”

Tu Xiao’an suddenly unleashed the full, unparalleled aura of the Snake King. The sky above immediately began to roar as dark clouds gathered overhead.

Feng Linjie instantly felt an invasive presence wash over his entire body. He stared in disbelief at Tu Xiao’an’s refined face.

’This Demon’s Demon Qi is so powerful. It can actually make a High Rank War God like me feel a slight tremor.’
