Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 448: Chapter 333: Su Fengye, Kangjin Rat! (Double Chapter) _2

After a long three minutes.

Fireworks spread out, the air turned gray and smoky, filled with dust particles and debris everywhere.

Song Changming brushed off the sparks and smoke from his body, looking at the drastically transformed scene before him.

The originally massive Zhan Yao Pavilion had all but vanished in the explosion.

The vast traces left by the Human Race Sect, seemed completely erased, leaving nothing behind in the simplest and most brutal manner.

Yes, including those heinous criminals who took hostages, as well as the hostages valued by the Su Family, all disappeared in the explosion.

A group of Su Family strongmen were left standing in the giant explosion pit, somewhat scorched and embarrassed.

”What a clever technique...” Song Changming clicked his tongue inwardly.

He certainly didn’t believe those criminals would choose to perish alongside the hostages in such a manner.

He preferred to believe that, before the explosion, those criminals had already taken the hostages and slipped away, somehow deceiving everyone present.

When all had spent effort to break the Protective Array, all they got was a spectacular explosion finale.

This explosion directly erased all traces and clues, cutting off their pursuit possibilities, and by the way, irked the pursuers.

Of course, the most irked present were the Su Family members.

Each looked ash-gray, their expressions akin to eating filth.

”Scoundrels, once caught, I’ll cut them to pieces!” Su Jizi said through gritted teeth, shaking with anger.

”If something happened to Gu Xinyue, how would we explain to the Gu Family over there...” A Su Clan Member whispered softly, unsure of the consequences of failing to rescue the crucial hostage, sweat starting to bead on his forehead.

”Xinyue...” Su Fengye’s clothing was still intact, and his face remained fair, with complex emotions, unsure what he was thinking.

”I’ll definitely bring you back safely!”

Seeing these few Su Family members at a loss, Wang Tianshuang said nothing, only dispatched generals to scatter and search for possible leftover traces.

Song Changming led his team down to the scorched earth, feeling the lingering heat from the explosion beneath their feet, waves of heat akin to being in a furnace.

”To escape from the completely sealed Protective Array, the only thing I can think of is spatial transmission ability.” Guan Yuntai suddenly spoke while following behind Song Changming.

”Indeed, once Zhan Yao Pavilion’s Protective Array is activated, you can neither enter nor leave, only relying on rune tools might work, though space transmission-capable talismans are few and far between...” Feng Xingzhuo nodded.

He was arguably the one most knowledgeable about this Protective Array around Zhan Yao Pavilion.

”Anyway, you all go search individually; if you find any clues, it would be a major achievement.” Song Changming instructed his subordinate generals.

Looking toward another side, somewhere along, Su Fengye was already gone.

Song Changming observed around while continuing to gather those floating Demon Blood Essence.

Though met with adversity today, the harvest was palpable.

This mission trip yielded Demon Blood Essence enough for him to refine for quite some time.

After full refinement, his physical strength would definitely reach a new height.

To craft more potent Witch Seals, a robust and indestructible body is foundational.

Later, everyone lingered around the Zhan Yao Pavilion ruins, even digging three feet yet continually found nothing.

The adversaries were astute, leaving no trace for tracking.

Several days later, in a portion of the Nine Nether Realm, a bare mountain suddenly exploded.

Clusters of sparks encircled a giant beast resembling a spider, continuously bombarding.

The beast roared incessantly amidst the flames, splattering viscous, foul-smelling liquids.

Several figures, wielding sharp weapons with glowing eyes, relentlessly attacked the giant beast until it toppled and ceased moving.

”Brother Lu, really not returning to the Southern Border?” Lu Daoshen checked the condition of his damaged Corpse Puppets, his face slightly grim.

”Returning to the Southern Border would be heading into ambushes set by the Changsheng Clan, going there would be seeking death; I’m not going back!” Lu Ran inhaled deeply, taking out two Recovery Pills from the Qiankun Bag and swallowing them while speaking.

”Whether attracted by the Changsheng Blood or due to Nine Netherworld’s inherent danger, lingering here will eventually lead to trouble!” Lu Daoshen looked somewhat pained at one of his severely damaged Corpse Puppets, speaking solemnly.

Currently, he was in the same boat with Lu Ran, unwilling to easily jump ship and leave.

However, the frequency and elusiveness of their encounters with attacks in recent days had indeed made him uneasy.

These attacks weren’t from the Changsheng Clan pursuers, but rather from native powerful Demon Race and Fierce Beast, making him quite apprehensive.

”Both factors are present; Nine Netherworld itself is a mixed bag, with terrifying entities everywhere, a slight mishap could lead to the demise of even a Great Demon, this is no joke!

Besides, Changsheng Blood is precious to both us and these Demons and Fierce Beasts; carrying treasures openly invites attention.”

Lu Ran said slowly, raising his finger, releasing several creatures resembling Fire Spirits to float away, guarding the surroundings.

”Given this, why are we keeping these Changsheng Clan members; take your Changsheng Blood and I’ll directly refine their bodies into Corpse Puppets, reducing burdens for greater safety!” Lu Daoshen snorted, glancing at the seven abducted men and women behind them.

He was eager not to delay any longer.

Lu Ran hesitated upon hearing this.

If possible, he also wanted to resolve the matter soon, avoiding prolonged risk.

Different from Lu Daoshen, he had higher hopes pinned on the Changsheng Blood these individuals carried.

He wished to leverage the Changsheng Blood to step into the Grandmaster Realm!

As long as he could achieve Grandmaster, all efforts would be worthwhile.

Initially, he planned to complete this ”Dividing the Spoils” step within Zhan Yao Pavilion’s Protective Array.

But the sudden arrival of Changsheng Clan’s pursuers disrupted his final plan.

Fortunately, he left a fallback route; otherwise, they might have been caught back then and lost their lives.

And now, amidst surrounding darkness and lurking threats, it was far less secure than inside the Protective Array.

Without a guarantee of safety, he dared not rashly kill and extract blood.

If anything went awry during the process, it might lead to a futile outcome after all efforts.

”Must find a relatively safe place.” Lu Ran shook his head.

”Then let’s hurry.” Lu Daoshen was again impatient.

At this moment, the earth beneath suddenly quivered slightly.

Their expressions changed, Lu Ran grabbed the seven hostages and flew up, followed closely by Lu Daoshen and the green-eyed Corpse Puppet.

Boom!

A massive Kangjin Rat broke out of the stone, nearly swallowing the group.

”Changsheng Blood! Changsheng Blood! Good!”

Sharp, eerie laughter echoed continuously in the desolate area.

Next moment, numerous half-beast demon bodies appeared in the air, encircling Lu Ran, Lu Daoshen, and the others completely.

”Courting death! Mere rodents dare covet our possessions!” Lu Daoshen roared, immediately ordering.

A horde of Corpse Puppets flew toward the Demon Race, seeking a brutal slaughter.

”Intruding into my Kangjin Rat territory, yet dare to boast shamelessly!” The giant Kangjin Rat roared long.

Its enormous, thick body appeared like numerous black gems embedded, gleaming and bright.

With its sharp cry, thunder magnetism began flashing on the spikes.

The sky spiraled dramatically, and countless Celestial Thunder fell without warning, connecting with the spikes of the giant rat, forming chains of silver ribbons.

Simultaneously, the surrounding Demon Race figures roared with thunder light.

”Dammit!” Lu Ran quickly sensed peril, but the next moment divinely charged thunder energy from the Kangjin Rat exploded.

Buzz!

In an instant, the area within kilometers turned into Thunder Prison, a silver ocean.
