1047: C1047 The Netherworld Will-o '-the-wisp

C1047 The Netherworld Will-o '-the-wisp

It had taken him thousands of years to build a killing array with his own hands.

Even a Divine Hou Grandmaster would die if they were to fall into this array, let alone a mere Divine Hou of Martial Tao.

But now, Zhou Yan was standing in front of him unscathed.

How could this be possible!?

Rumble ~ ~ ~

At the same time, the sky trembled, and a dark cloud covered half of the horizon. Thunder rumbled, as if the end of the world had arrived, and the entire world dimmed.

In the sky, dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. It was like a disaster that could destroy the world.

"No! It's not like that!"

The old man's eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with fear. His lips trembled as if he had gone mad.

Boom!

A thick purple lightning snake tore through the sky and struck toward the old man's head with destructive power.

Crack!

An explosion sounded from the old man's body, and his clothes were torn into pieces. Blood flew everywhere, and his body started to collapse inch by inch. The old man screamed as he fell to the ground, completely dead.

As for the thick lightning snake, it still did not give up. It lingered in the sky, continuing to devour the lightning, as if it wanted to annihilate the entire continent within the endless lightning.

"No! I can't wait any longer!"

"I want to leave this damned place!"

The old man roared angrily, and all the blood in his body condensed on his chest. He spat it out in one breath, burned his lifespan, and activated a secret technique. He forcefully broke free from the bindings and fled towards the north.

......

"Hurry up and leave! Our luck is too bad this time, we've encountered the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning!"

"Hurry up and get away from here!"

"Quickly run!"

"This time, we're dead for sure!"

In the forest, four or five martial artists were running in a panic. Their foreheads were covered with sweat, and their faces were pale. It was as if their souls had left their bodies. It was as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in their lives.

"Damn!"

Suddenly, a sharp scream came from in front of them. Everyone looked up and saw that there was a dark green ghost fire on the crown of the tree. It was like a firefly floating in the air and making a weird whimpering sound.

The green ghost fire seemed to have some sort of magical power that attracted everyone's attention. They all stopped and stared at the ball of ghost fire in shock.

Shu ~ ~ ~ ~

In the next moment, the dark green ghost fire started to gently sway as if it was mocking them, and it started to laugh. Then, the dark green flame suddenly became bigger and turned into a twisted ghost face. The ghost face opened its mouth wide and let out a soul-stirring roar.

"Not good! Run!"

"This is an evil ghost!"

"Damnit! I am unwilling to accept this!"

Everyone was scared to the point that they peed their pants, and they turned around to run.

However, they were unable to escape from the ghost at all. In the blink of an eye, they were caught. All of them screamed miserably as their bodies turned stiff and were swallowed by the dark green ghost fire. They turned into dried bones and fell to the ground.

"Jiejiejie..."

The dark green ghost fire shook and let out a cold and sinister laughter. It slowly approached and finally floated above Zhou Yan's head.

Its target was Zhou Yan.

"Hehe, do you want to eat me?"

Zhou Yan was not afraid at all. Instead, he revealed a bright smile: "Come on! Let me see what exactly it is."

Swish!

In the next moment, Zhou Yan's figure flashed, turned into an afterimage, and disappeared from where he stood.

"Hmm?"

The dark green ghost flame was slightly startled, and then it flew into a rage. It roared, and rushed towards Zhou Yan's position, fiercely smashing into the void.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled groan, Zhou Yan fell from the void in a sorry state and smashed onto the ground.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to get up, a strong stench entered his nostrils.

When he looked up, his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

It turned out that a charred corpse had already fallen in front of him.

Furthermore, this corpse was different from an ordinary person. It was completely charred and even had a burnt smell. Obviously, it had died on this corpse.

"This..."

"This... This is that old man's corpse!"

Zhou Yan was stunned.

Although he had never seen that old man before, he had heard about his deeds before. He was the number one expert of the Green Wood Empire, an existence at the Level Nine of Martial Tao, known as the Sword Maniac.

It was said that seventy or eighty years ago, he had once defeated a Divine Marquis of Martial Tao with a single sword strike.

"The Sword Maniac is dead?"

Zhou Yan was shocked.

The Sword Maniac's strength was even stronger than he had imagined.

With just a single move and a half, he had killed the Divine Marquis of Martial Tao. In the entire Southern Mountain Range, he could be considered a peak expert.

"Eh? That old man's storage bag was actually not destroyed by the divine retribution?"

Zhou Yan picked up the storage bag and found that other than a few weapons, there was also a fist-sized sparkling gem inside that was emitting a resplendent light.

"Hmm? What is this?"0

Zhou Yan looked at it carefully and suddenly realized that this gem contained a mysterious rune and a faint ancient aura.

"Huh? This gem seems to be a little familiar?" Zhou Yan's mind raced as an image appeared in his mind. His eyes immediately widened in shock.

"Isn't this... the Divine Beast that protects the Profound Sky Empire, the Heaven's Strength War Tiger?"

The Heavenly Dipper War Tiger was a legendary Vicious Beast. It was the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Demonic Beasts. It ruled over the myriad of races in the universe.

In the ancient times, the Heaven's Strength War Tiger was the son of a True Dragon.

However, for some reason, for some unknown reason, something unexpected happened in the ancient era, causing it to disappear overnight.

If his memory was correct, Tian Gang Zhan Hu should have been passed down from the ancient times and was a descendant of the True Dragon.

"Could this be the shed skin of the Heaven's Strength War Tiger?"

Zhou Yan's heart was beating faster and faster, and his guess was correct.

This fist-sized gem was the Heavenly Strength War Tiger's shed skin, and it contained a wisp of the Heavenly Strength War Tiger's bloodline power.

Once it was fused with it, there was a high chance of obtaining the Tian Gang War Tiger's power and stepping into the Supernatural Domain.

"Hahaha! I'm rich!"

"The Heaven's Strength War Tiger is the ancestor of ten thousand beasts. One drop of blood can temper one's body, increase one's cultivation, increase one's talent, and even a Core can baptize one's soul, allowing one to be reborn!"

Zhou Yan was indescribably excited.

"It's a pity that this Heavenly Dipper War Tiger is an ancient ferocious beast that is overflowing with ferocity."

"How could it be easy to obtain his shed skin?"

Zhou Yan muttered to himself.

The Tian Gang Zhan Hu could sweep across the world and look down on the sky.

Even a trace of its bloodline contained endless power.

"Since I can't use brute force to destroy the Heavenly Dipper War Tiger's shed skin, then I should use intelligence!"

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and revealed a wise gaze.

Although the Heavenly Strength War Tiger was a peerless Vicious Beast with monstrous might, it nevertheless possessed a fatal weakness.

"The weakness of the Heavenly Strength War Tiger is its greed!"

Zhou Yan muttered to himself in his heart. Having read through many ancient books, he naturally had a deep understanding of the habits of the Heaven's Strength War Tiger.

The Tiangang War Tiger was a giant ancient beast. In fact, this kind of giant beast had long since left the category of a fierce beast. It had intelligence, and some even had intelligence.
