Chapter 239 - Foothold
“Just exactly how many Ats were shivering and their sto Yue tread across the river They could vaguely see a sea of blood gushing over to them, so thick and viscous that it was like a bloody paste It filled the air with the stench of rusty metal and blood
The taste of iron and blood – the s Yue tread on the cal on a battlefield filled arriors and and warhorses, exuding the air of slaughter that belonged to a merciless butcher
Even the sun see on the non-existent warriors and warhorses!
Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan was supposed to be spurred into action when Zhong Yue was in the middle of the river They were supposed to stop hi the water But they didn’t, the terror in their hearts froze their nerves andHe’s senior , did not attack, as he could perceive the fear that invaded Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan’s ht anyht now, he would be the one ould face the Zhong Yue’s direct and unrestrained wrath
Zhong Yue was now on the brink of advancing into the level of Ath the barrier at any moment now By then, it would be an arduous task to even keep the had not the slightestYue stepped onto the riverbank, and strode past the three of the every strand of theirclosely at the river, they did not turn around or look back
If any of the four showed a single sign of launching an attack, the situation would erupt like a bowl of hot water poured into a wok of boiling oil — hurling the four of the battle!
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn’t happen, as Zhong Yue quietly walked away
In this world that upholds the law of the jungle, talking a way out only works occasionally, while subduing the world under your fist is the only true and right way, Zhong Yue thought in his heart
Without poould listen to your words? If he eak and fragile, he would have been devoured by the monster experts like Xi Qiao!
A wolf need not seek the consent of the sheep it would eat, it would not ask the sheep to hand over their er and faster than the sheep Any effort the sheep exerts to escape its fate would ultimately be in vain; eventually, they would fall under the jaws of the wolf The only way to escape their fate was to becoer and faster than its hunter!
This was the fundamental law that drove the world, even if it was embellished with all sorts of beautiful concepts like e the fact that power rules above all
If Zhong Yue decided to establish his forces in the East Barren, his name and reputation would have to instill fear and terror into his eneh the blood of his enemies!
All the times he was forced to helplessly escape from the pursuit of his hunters were solely due to the fact that the monster experts still took him as a weak and tiny child Hence, they had attacked him, one after another, and all of them had died by his hands And now, he had carved a path out of this helplessness, a path paved by the blood of his adversaries Those who had once stood against him now shuddered in fear of hiht now, he did not engage in a battle with Wei Dong, Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan, deciding to let them live so that they can become the envoys of his name to the world He let them keep their lives so that the whole monster race would have the same fear they had of him All so that he could carve a foothold for himself in the hostileheaved a breath of relief and crossed the river to the other side Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan looked at one another before following behind hi Yue was already a long distance away, vanished fro the sa Yue left behind
It was only a short distance before they saw the re Tianji — the two hundred-foot tall body was slammed into the mountain rocks, his mortal body was slashed in half and so was his Yuan Shen He had died in such a brutal way in an unknorecked forest
“Ying Tianji, the third ure like this co, Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan walked another hundred over e was riddled with holes created when the Jiao Dragons drilled through the mountain rocks Clearly, this was another wrecked battlefield left behind when Zhong Yue battled with another monster Atiant lioness, and Xi Qiao said in a husky voice, “Shi Qingyun, Lord of the Lion Mountain”
Shi Qingyun was another At and beautifuland renowned cultivator around the Lion Mountain She coht hundred lion cultivators beneath her — it was a strong and notable force in the East Barren
Not long after, they saw another giant rhinoceros who had ra it ahile it also died between the broken halves He was the Lord of the Evil Rhino Ridge, with nearly a thousand rhinoceros cultivators under his coreen python dead in the river, who appeared to be the Green Snake Valley Master, Qing Dongzhu of the Green Snake Valley Follohich, they saw another mountainous toad charred dead in a sea of fire, the toad was identified as the Lord of Poison Sht they saw, they greater their fear of hirew They had traveled for nearly three thousand miles, and they had already seen more than twenty dead Atman Body experts The trails of battle that were left behind had crushed the mountains and cleaved the rivers!
The corpses of these over twenty At Yue’s feats of battle, except that they were trophies he didn’t deign to collect!
These At killed by hiic death in an unknown part of the Wildernness!
Wei Dong’s face was soleravely, “Let’s return back to the saint city”
“En, back to the saint city” Xi Qiao and Tu Shishan quickly nodded their heads and concurred
Terrifying, truly terrifying! The Qi Practitioners that ca Yue, only the three of them survived, while the others were all dead!
