Chapter 682: 677. Four-Vortex Diagram, Earth Level School Vein Skill! (First Update) "No!"
A scream sliced through the air like a thunderclap.
Wen Ping stood outside the Vast Auction House, his expression unchanged, seemingly oblivious.
As the Devouring Beast drew closer, Long Yue urgently shouted, "Wen Ping, killing my brother won’t accomplish anything. With him gone, it’s even less likely my father will agree."
For some reason, she felt this skeletal creature could devour Long Ye.
If Long Ye were to die, it wouldn’t just be about their father’s disapproval of her sister being with Wen Yan.
This matter would certainly spiral toward a worse outcome.
By then, things would become uncontrollable.
Wen Ping responded calmly, "Disagree? So what?"
Wasn’t the Long Family looking down on the Immortal Sect?
Given time, making the Immortal Sect a force that even the Long Family must admire is totally achievable.
Would the Long Family still block this marriage then?
"Release my brother first, we can talk things over slowly." Seeing Wen Ping unmoved, Long Yue continued to persuade.
Wen Ping answered, "When he was about to kill my father, why didn’t you step out and say ’talk things over?’ Do you think Wen Ping is easy to deal with, or do you think I fear your Long Family?"
Long Yue shook her head hastily, "No, just make it stop, listen to me..."
At that moment, the Devouring Beast was already close to the cage.
Long Ye gripped his numb fists tightly, then frantically punched the Bone Spike Cage as if he were a humanoid giant beast. The thunderous sounds echoed nonstop.
What Long Yue sensed, as the person involved, Long Ye naturally felt even more intensely.
He dared not boast about surviving the skeletal monster’s attack safely. In truth, he wasn’t confident about surviving.
However, as a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, Long Ye had his dignity. He wouldn’t sit by and wait for death; he’d rather fight to the death!
The next moment, the Devouring Beast opened its mouth wide.
Devouring Power suddenly erupted within the cage, rushing in from all directions like seawater, relentlessly compressing Long Ye.
Long Ye’s action of pounding the Bone Spike Cage abruptly halted, his whole body being squeezed into a huddle. The stubborn look in his eyes drove him to resist with all his might, but apart from moving his shoulders slightly, nothing else could free itself from the compressing force.
What kind of power is this?
Why is it so overbearing?
This was Long Ye’s only thought remaining in his mind.
After a few breaths, the massive pressure suddenly seemed to ignite, starting to explode around him.
The first explosion made Long Ye grimace in pain.
Immediately, scenes of his guards exploding into blood mist flashed through his mind, and a strong sense of unease quickly flooded his heart.
The subsequent explosions made Long Ye suffer intolerable pain. Despite cultivating to the perfect Battle Intent Spirit Body ranked 1806 for many years, the agony was still hard to bear. In an instant, his body was blasted into a bloody mess, completely unrecognizable.
The Devouring Beast froze, stood with its mouth open as if saying, "Not dead?"
Then it turned to look at Wen Ping, eying Long Ye several times, seemingly perplexed. It turned back again to Wen Ping, scrutinizng Long Ye, as if seeking forgiveness.
Seeing this, Wen Ping couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This Half-Step Earth Unrestricted outside the Heaven and Earth Lake truly had some skills.
The Devouring Beast from the Undead Hell seemingly couldn’t swallow him in one bite.
Upon careful reflection, Wen Ping promptly understood why.
After ten devourings, the Devouring Beast’s amplified Devouring Power becomes greatly diminished, lacking the initial dominance.
However, even if Long Ye barely survived, he wasn’t faring well.
After the baptism of Devouring Power, Long Ye’s body was already skinless, his whole figure dyed crimson with blood, resembling an evil bloodied man from a distance.
Witnessing this scene from their hiding place in the Vast Auction House, Li Bao and others felt terror like waves crashing over them.
Looking at Wen Ping, a sudden sense of reverence surged from within.
This is indeed a big figure from beyond Heaven and Earth Lake, representing a power greater than Heaven and Earth Lake itself. Even the three Half-Step Earth Unrestricted experts from the Hundred Sects Alliance had to show respect, yet this skeletal creature called by Wen Ping at the door humbled them like children.
Such a thing has never happened in the thousand-plus years since forces from outside Heaven and Earth Lake appeared on its stage, nor did anyone dare to consider it.
Today’s event was certainly worthy of being recorded in the Heaven and Earth Lake’s annals.
And as the closest witnesses, they could boast about it for a century!
Meanwhile, curiosity piqued about this youth’s identity grew within them.
Who precisely is he?
At the same time, Wen Yan witnessed this in the Vast Auction House.
He was still just surprised and couldn’t believe that the Wen Ping before him was his former idle, good-for-nothing son.
Now, Wen Yan was excited.
"Actually, your son is not who he was before."
