God of Slaughter

Ye Xiong reluctantly gave Shi Yan an Ethereal Crystal under the urging of Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu.

A small pile of silver Ethereal Crystal was shining, with many cracks on the crystal surface. Space power vaguely moved there. These fist-sized crystals had conical and diamond shapes. They were heavier than they looked.

”Ethereal Crystal’s the fundamental element of Teleportation Formations. When one pours energy into the Ethereal Crystal, it can urge space power,” Ye Xiong’s face was bitter. ”I had ruined an old, shabby Teleportation Formation in an old place to take these crystals. If you don’t know how to use it, you should choose another thing to exchange.”

Shi Yan chuckled and then stashed away the Ethereal Crystals. He glared at Ye Xiong, ”You don’t need to mind me.”

He didn’t check the Ethereal Crystal, because he knew Ye Xiong wouldn’t cheat him at this moment. These Ethereal Crystals contained weak space power, which he could sense. So, they shouldn’t be counterfeit.

”You got the Ethereal Crystals. You should do something now, right?” Ye Xiong rolled his eyes, urging coldly.

Zhu Yi, Yue Ying, and Yun Xiu were stunned, their eyes as bright as a torch.

The atmosphere at the dark area in front of them was strange and somehow evil. It seemed to hide a big danger, which were obviously the ancient barriers, extremely dreadful.

Even Ye Xiong didn’t dare to break in rashly. They had wanted to retreat, which showed the life-threatening characteristics of the Dreadful Formations.

As Shi Yan had the Ethereal crystals, he nodded and smiled, ”Don’t worry, I’ll take you there safely.”

Then, he summoned the Sky Breaking Shuttle.

The Sky Breaking Shuttle screamed out loud when it got out, floating in front of him. It shot out a strange light, breaking the thick darkness ahead of them.

It was surveying.

Shi Yan wasn’t hurried, waiting in silence.

The Sky Breaking Shuttle was a strange tool to break the barriers. No barrier could restrain this shuttle. As he had such a treasure, Shi Yan dared to ask Ye Xiong to give him Ethereal Crystal.

Ye Xiong, Zhu Yi and the other had their eyes brightened, looking at the Sky Breaking Shuttle with astonishment.

The shuttle emitted a strange energy that was surging spirally, slowly drilling into the dark area ahead of them.

Not long after that, the Sky Breaking Shuttle sent him its thought, ”It will consume one-fourth of your Essence Qi to cross through the barrier ahead.”

Shi Yan nodded, pouring his Essence Qi into the Sky Breaking Shuttle.

The Sky Breaking Shuttle sparkled. A massive light column tore the space, thrusting deep into the darkness.

Waves of energy intertwined the inside of the light column, preventing all the attacking energies, which kept the space inside the light column safe.

Shi Yan took the lead and stepped into the light column. Then, he turned around, waving at Ye Xiong’s group.

Ye Xiong’s group was astounded, their faces changed.

Shi Yan didn’t lie to them. He did have a solution!

The Sky Breaking Shuttle had created a light tunnel, which had a thick energy wall to prevent all kinds of energies from barge in. It stirred the ancient formations in the dark area.

Constant explosions, sounds of violent impact, and thunder, lightning continually reverberated from that area.

However, Shi Yan was walking safely in the light tunnel. He didn’t mind the chaotic situation underneath, and just walked with a smile.

”Go!” Zhu Yi let out a slight shout, his face happy. ”This kid isn’t ordinary. We can count on him later. Ye-ge, you should form a close relationship with him.”

Ye Xiong constantly nodded, his face overjoyed.

Ethereal Crystal was of course precious, but it was nothing compared to the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame. If he could get what he wanted, the harvest this time was enough to cover his current loss.

The beautiful eyes of Yue Ying and Yun Xiu shone sparklingly, as they were discreetly assessing Shi Yan, their hearts filled with astonishment.

It was as if they had met Shi Yan for the first time. They had silently appraised Shi Yan in awe. They sighed due to the strange competence Shi Yan had brought forth. The Sky Breaking Shuttle was beyond their imagination. This made them realized that Shi Yan had hidden many mysteries.

All of a sudden, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu couldn’t help but compliment Yun Hao’s bright vision as he could recruit a man like this to the Radiant God Cult.

”Hurry up!” Shi Yan saw they were worrying and didn’t move, so he impatiently urged them the second time. ”I have to consume a lot of power to maintain the tunnel. Don’t linger, okay? If I have to spend more time maintaining this tunnel, it will take more time to break the next barrier.”

Then, they didn’t dare to hesitate furthermore, all jumping onto the light road.

This light road shot straight just like a sharp sword covering the territory. People glided fast, without minding the changes of the barriers around.

Soon, they had crossed the barriers.

Standing in the middle of a new graveyard, Ye Xiong sighed in relief. However, he had to change his face before he could have time to say something.

Ahead of them was an immense area covered with thick mist. Sounds of water running came over. The water didn’t flow fast, but it had A malignant aura. They could vaguely see the water monsters moving there, as if they were waiting for something.

A flow of malicious aura exuded from the running stream, entering the body and restraining the soul.

Another dreadful barrier!

Ye Xiong was embarrassed, looking at Shi Yan with a forced smile.

People who came out from the prohibited area all looked at the area ahead, then tacitly shut their mouths, waiting for Shi Yan with longing faces.

Under their attentive looks, Shi Yan said with a begrudging complexion, ”Got it. I’ll handle it.”

He used the Sky Breaking Shuttle the second time.

And it repeated.

After crossing three barriers, Shi Yan had consumed almost all of his Essence Qi. He had to supplement his Qi using the crystal. His face was pale.

Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were excited, giving him some jade bottles with smiling expressions. ”You should eat these pellets. They will restore your Essence Qi faster.”

Sweet aroma which could gladden the hearts diffused from the jade bottles. Shi Yan sniffed, and he was struck.

They were all good things!

Shi Yan smiled and didn’t pretend to be polite. He took the jade bottles and swallowed the pellets, which had abundant spiritual Qi, using the power of the medicine to restore his Essence Qi.

As Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were the Elders of the Spirit Treasure Sect, the pellets they had of course were not ordinary!

After taking in ten pellets, the Essence Qi in his body started to surge like a tide. The exhausted energy in his body was being recovered quickly.

Three minutes later, Shi Yan exhaled freshly. He laughed and said, ”Move!”

After crossing twelve ancient barriers, Shi Yan’s Essence Qi had been drained by a big part again. He had to use pellets to restore it the second time.

However, Ye Xiong suddenly shot up. He squinted, coldly looking forward.

Under a chaotic space of electric currents intertwining, a group of people was crouching in a corner, not daring to act recklessly. They seemed to be waiting for something.

Above their heads were thunder, lightning and the whole sea of fire. Sometimes, they could see some strange Intent Domains flash up.

Afterward, the whole space had an earth-shaking change. Powers of the Five Elements including Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth showed up gradually, creating massive Dreadful Formations.

This group seemed to be besieged. They were worried and distressed, looking at a young maid.

The girl had her eyes close. As everybody else regarded her as a core, she was sensing something silently. Her brows slammed together, as if she had a big challenge, unable to break this barrier that quick.

”Look, it’s them!” Ye Xiong shouted.

Everybody followed Ye Xiong’s line of sight, watching that group of people crouching under that thunder and lightning coverage.

”We come with you this time, but we made it clear that we will help you deal with the Heaven Thunder Beast only,” Yue Ying said softly. ”But now, I don’t think so. I think we should talk.”

Ye Xiong turned around, talking with a dark face. ”No need to talk, I know what you want to say. This time we have come to the Ancient Cave Mansion, so we will share all the items we got there.”

Yue Ying’s eyes brightened. She nodded, ”Good then.”

Yun Xiu also smiled and nodded silently, as she was satisfied with Ye Xiong’s answer.

As they had known about the existence of the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, they didn’t want the benefits Ye Xiong had promised them before.

As they saw the hotshots from the Martial Spirit Palace and the Heaven Temple earlier than expected, it meant the next part of their trip would involve a conflict or even a battle with the others.

Only for the benefit Ye Xiong had promised them, Yue Ying and Yun Xiu would just back off and never sell their lives in such a situation. However, the Ancient Cave Mansion and the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame were enough for their motivation.

Birds died because of food, and people died because of money. If the enticement were big enough, they could even risk their lives.

That group seemed unable to see them. They were staying and watching here and there in the prohibited area, not daring to move. They didn’t realize the existence of another group.

Ye Xiong was nonchalant. He kept smiling faintly, but he felt lucky in his heart.

They were lucky that they had Shi Yan accompanying them this time. Otherwise, they would have never gotten to this place, and they would never have seen the Ancient Cave Mansion or the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame.

Shi Yan’s outstanding performance had turn perils into nothing scary, as he could pierce through barriers one by one easily. This was beyond their imagination.

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but look at Shi Yan, who was closing his eyes and adjusting his breathing. Ye Xiong’s eyes were complicated, as he had more calculations in his head.

A long time afterward, Shi Yan woke up, smiled and said, ”We shall move.”

Everybody was excited.

The group from Martial Spirit Palace was still besieged. They hadn’t found the solution yet.

Shi Yan took out the Sky Breaking Shuttle, pouring energy into it and creating the light tunnel. He hopped in.

Ye Xiong and Zhu Yi were smiling as they felt delighted, walking on the light road.

While walking into the light tunnel, they could see the Martial Spirit Palace’s group, but the others couldn’t see them. This group was still frowning miserably, waiting in fear.

Inside the tunnel, everybody felt that they were more superior than the others. The victory of striking the opponent after their opponent had struck them made them felt good.

”Are they the opponents we’re about to meet?” Shi Yan was a bit surprised. He quietly assessed this group, and his face changed.

This group had twelve members. Seven of them were at the Spirit Realm; three were at the Third Sky, two were at the Second Sky, and the other two were at the First Sky. Obviously, this force was stronger than theirs.

”Yeah,” Ye Xiong’s face was solemn.

”Well, we’ll encounter them anyway, so I should give them a big gift.” Shi Yan grinned fiendishly, as cold as a sharp saber.
