Chapter 1586 (Raw 1568): So-Called Small Snake
Xiao Chen slowly got up, and the puissant Yin Essence Energy in his body leaked out uncontrollably.
The cave immediately became frigid.
Xiao Chen's electric Veritable Essence Energy was also mixed in with this cold Qi, merging with it.
Visible purple cold Qi forced the group out with irresistible pressure.
The Yin Essence Energy had already poured into the Veritable Essence Energy lake in Xiao Chen's dantian.
The Yin Essence Energy refined from the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy completely covered the Veritable Essence Energy. This cold energy spread throughout Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen just entered the Yin Essence Stage, and the two energies had yet to merge fully.
He would need a lot of time later to absorb the Yin Essence Energy transformed from the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy.
This Baleful Yin Energy truly lived up to being ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy. Right now, Xiao Chen's cultivation was already at the peak of the Yin Essence Stage.
"The ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy! You actually refined all of it!"
Fang Yun revealed an extremely incredulous expression. He had expected Ye Bai to be very strong—but not this strong.
Xiao Chen swept his gaze around before looking straight at Fang Yun. Then, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
In the next moment, his figure appeared in front of Fang Yun, clenching his hand into a tight fist. Sounds of ice shattering filled the air, together with the crackling and flashing of electricity.
Xiao Chen's long hair and clothes shook wildly as he launched a simple punch.
It was like an electric True Dragon giving off cold Qi from its energy body: frigid, frosty, and berserk!
"Bang!"
This punch swept through everything before it as easily as breaking dead, dry branches. It shattered all of the Martial Techniques that Fang Yun did his best to launch; he could not resist at all.
The strong Yin Essence Energy gave Xiao Chen an enormous advantage, allowing him to crush his enemy directly.
Xiao Chen did not even have to execute a Martial Technique.
All he needed was a light punch.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After absorbing this ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy, his combat prowess had tripled at the very least.
More importantly, Xiao Chen broke through his bottleneck, his potential increasing severalfold.
In the following days, as he digested and refined the crude and berserk Yin Essence Energy in his body, his strength would advance rapidly.
Fang Yun went flying back, vomiting large mouthfuls of blood.
"Flee!"
The group no longer dared to remain. After they got to their feet, they turned tail.
Ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy? Fortuitous encounter? Fear spread throughout their bodies. Running for their lives was the most important thing!
The four fled at the same time. Xiao Chen did not chase after them all, but there was one person he had to capture no matter what.
The Lotus Sect Temple's Feng Yun!
Xiao Chen pushed off with his feet and tested some of the things he comprehended from the Ink Flame Tiger in his Movement Technique.
When Xiao Chen's body shot out, a faint fire burned on the surface of his body.
This was the result of moving too fast. His protective Veritable Essence Energy rubbed hard against the air, which ignited.
Now, Xiao Chen understood why the Ink Flame Tiger's fur always had black flames burning on it.
During this test, Xiao Chen's linear speed became so fast, the eyes could not completely capture his movement.
When Xiao Chen arrived by Feng Yun, the other party was only halfway getting to his feet.
"Pu ci!"
Xiao Chen reached out and grabbed Feng Yun's neck, then directly lifted him.
Only at this moment did the others fully get up and start fleeing. However, this development startled them, and they nearly tripped.
Right now, Xiao Chen was focused on Feng Yun and could not be bothered about the others.
He urgently needed to find out news about the Black Lotus Church.
"Speak, are you aware of my identity?"
Xiao Chen coldly eyed Feng Yun. His gaze was icy like that of a death god. The combination of asphyxiation and fear shattered Feng Yun's mental defenses.
As a result, Feng Yun spilled everything that he knew.
After hearing that, Xiao Chen released his bated breath. The Black Lotus Church was still unaware of his whereabouts. The Black Lotus Church seemed not to want the help of outsiders when it came to him.
Regardless of what this meant, it was good news for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen needed time. With sufficient time, he would trample on the Black Lotus Church sooner or later.
"I said everything already. Can you let me go now?" Feng Yun begged.
Xiao Chen replied indifferently, "You have no sense of shame. From the moment you worked with Wei He to try and kill me, you should have expected this."
Naturally, Xiao Chen could not let such a person go. His berserk Veritable Essence Energy mixed with his Yin Essence Energy and flooded into Feng Yun's meridians.
Instantly, this energy shattered all of Feng Yun's meridians and internal organs, extinguishing all signs of life.
When Xiao Chen let go, Feng Yun silently fell to the ground, completely dead.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen…"
Luo Nan and Fei`er walked over, feeling startled and afraid. Some fear lurked in their eyes as they looked at Xiao Chen.
After interacting with Xiao Chen for so long, this was the first time they saw Xiao Chen's cold and unfeeling side.
"I owe you two a favor. There is no need to mention the rest. This place is not safe. We should go first."
Xiao Chen had always been cautious. He did not become arrogant and egotistical as a result of advancing to the Yin Essence Stage after absorbing the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy.
At this moment, he still had many questions that did not have any answers. Furthermore, for some reason, ever since entering this place, he had felt like someone was staring at him at all times.
Xiao Chen's instincts told him that it was not safe.
"Ah!"
Just as the three were preparing to leave, sharp cries suddenly rang out in front, shrieks of terror coming from Fang Yun and his two surviving allies.
"What's going on?"
Luo Nan and Fei`er felt suspicious.
The next moment, Fang Yun's group of three, which already fled the cave, ran back in a fluster.
Before Liu Mu and Tuoba Yun could come to a halt, they screamed miserably as two ferocious beasts bit down on them and chewed continuously.
The Clear Feather Sect's Fang Yun was so frightened that he fell to the ground and scrambled back continuously.
The demonic black ape, the twin-headed malicious hound, and the blue lion appeared and radiated strong auras as they coldly looked at Xiao Chen.
"An initiate Primal Core Realm ferocious beast!"
The expressions of Fei`er and Luo Nan changed greatly. No wonder Fang Yun and the others looked like they had seen a ghost.
To think that this place had three such horrifying ferocious beasts guarding this place.
It looks like you are the one that Lord Jiao Snake wanted us to deal with!
The demonic black ape did not even look at Fang Yun but just stared straight at Xiao Chen.
At the sight of the three ferocious beasts, Xiao Chen's anxious heart settled instead.
If these were the strongest existences around, at most just initiate Primal Core Realm ferocious beasts, there was nothing to fear.
At the very least, they would not be a problem.
Xiao Chen stood in front of Luo Nan and Fei`er, showing no fear as he looked at the three ferocious beasts. He slowly unleashed his aura that contained Dao Might.
He faced the three ferocious beasts alone without taking even half a step back.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was confident enough to face these three ferocious beasts. No matter how strong that demonic black ape was, it was just an initiate Primal Core Realm ferocious beast.
Compared to a middle-stage Minor Primal Core expert like that blue-robed old man, it was no big deal.
As for that twin-headed malicious hound and the blue lion, they were only of the same level as that Ink Flame Tiger.
While still a Veritable Essence Stage cultivator, Xiao Chen had not feared that Ink Flame Tiger, what more now?
Xiao Chen stood upright with his saber held up, positioned at the very front, not fearing a battle.
The twin-headed malicious hound and the blue lion trembled and took a step back before Xiao Chen's sharp brilliance.
Only the demonic black ape did not retreat. However, when facing such brilliance, its originally relaxed heart immediately became wary.
Simply put, it was afraid.
It was very rare for a ferocious beast to live up to now and gain such a cultivation, so it was not willing to take the risk.
However, just at this moment, something strange happened.
The ground suddenly shook violently. No matter who it was, they all felt an irresistible, bitter cold.
"Trash! All trash! What is the point of having you here?!"
A strange, deep, and hoarse cry boomed by everyone's ears. The three ferocious beasts immediately became so frightened that they knelt, trembling endlessly.
"Whoosh!"
A strong suction suddenly came from the cave mouth. This suction was irresistible; no one, including Xiao Chen, could block it.
Fear gripped Xiao Chen, paralyzing him as his body got dragged over willy-nilly.
"Ka ca! Ka ca!"
The three ferocious beasts and Fang Yun were instantly sucked out of the cave. Then, the suction stopped. Xiao Chen and the others landed at the same time.
A loud gulp sounded, and a gargantuan snake head suddenly landed on the ground, blocking the three.
The scarlet eyes on the snake head looked down on the three from up high, making all of them tremble irrepressibly.
Instantly, realization struck Xiao Chen's mind like a bolt of lightning. It turned out that this was the little snake that Little Yellow Feather mentioned.
Really little…
Two half-step Primal Core Realm ferocious beasts, one initiate Primal Core Realm demonic ape, and one snack. That snake swallowed all of them up without a breath in between, not even leaving scraps.
