94: Jade pendant image

Everyone trembled. The aura emanating from this centipede was in no way inferior to that of a God-Emperor Realm Late Stage expert.

The previous mid-stage expert couldn't even counterattack before he met his demise.

Everyone instinctively gathered together, with four God-Emperor Realm Late Stage experts standing at the forefront, ready for battle.

The purple centipede lunged at one of the brown-robed elders without warning, its terrifying might enveloping everyone's hearts.

"Hmph."

"Beast, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

The brown-robed elder drew a long sword and, quick as lightning, unleashed a strike. A sword qi several tens of feet long fiercely slashed down on the centipede's shell.

Bang!

The sword qi struck its body but didn't even leave a single mark. Instead, it sent the brown-robed elder crashing into the cliff face of the valley, leaving a human-shaped crater.

"Hiss!"

"This demonic beast has such strong defenses."

The others were greatly alarmed and quickly unleashed their killing moves, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. For a time, countless attacks landed on the centipede, producing a series of violent explosions.

"Roar!"

As the dust settled, the centipede's angry roar was heard. Besides some white marks, it had not suffered any substantial damage.

Everyone quickly retreated. The Middle-aged woman beside Meng Jin Yan couldn't help but frown, an aura much stronger than a God-Emperor Realm Late Stage bursting forth from her.

In a flash, she appeared above the centipede's head, holding a curved saber, and unleashed One by one of light blades, slashing downwards.

The emerald green light blades mercilessly cut into the centipede's body. This time, even its hard shell was broken, and fresh blood splattered.

The centipede cried out in pain, its ferocity intensifying. Its massive body shot into the sky, directly sending the woman flying.

The woman immediately engaged in a continuous battle with the centipede. The intense shockwaves caused the cliff walls of the valley to constantly crumble. The other experts all retreated to the battleship, watching the battle.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the woman's figure reappeared, her aura somewhat unstable, looking very disheveled.

But the centipede was no better off, purple blood flowing all over its body, its compound eyes staring coldly at the woman.

It seemed their strengths were evenly matched, and a quick resolution to the battle would not be easy.

Just as Meng Jin Yan was about to ask the fat and thin Middle-aged men to take action, Lin Yan's expression shifted, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He felt a mysterious summons and was preparing to leave with Big Yellow Dog and Tu Qiang. He happened to see Meng Jin Yan's actions and took a few steps forward.

He walked to the front of the battleship, glanced at the warring parties, and softly said, "Leave it to me."

Although his tone was calm, the Middle-aged woman felt an undeniable sense of pressure, causing her to subconsciously retreat.

When the centipede saw the woman retreat, it quickly dragged its huge body, wanting to pursue. Lin Yan slowly extended a hand and lightly clenched it.

The centipede demonic beast, whose strength was extraordinary even among God-Emperor Realm Late Stage experts, paused and, under the horrified gazes of the crowd, turned into a mist of blood.

The scene was silent. Everyone had not expected this black-clothed man, who had volunteered himself, to possess such terrifying strength.

Even the fat and thin Middle-aged men's expressions tightened, their pupils contracting. They exchanged glances, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

Even if they, the two of them, had personally taken action against this demonic beast, they might not have been able to finish it so cleanly and efficiently. This young man, whose presence was not strong, actually possessed such means.

Both of them felt a hint of apprehension towards Lin Yan.

After a moment of stunned silence, Meng Jin Yan's evaluation of Lin Yan rose even higher in her heart. She walked to his side and thanked him, "Thank you, young master, for your assistance. This little one is eternally grateful."

"It's nothing. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving first. I believe we'll meet again soon if fate allows."

After Lin Yan finished speaking, he disappeared in a few flashes with the bewildered Tu Qiang and Big Yellow Dog.

Meng Jin Yan did not stop them. The other party was not an expert she had recruited; they were merely traveling together. Now that they wanted to leave, there was naturally no reason to stop them.

The Middle-aged woman also returned to the battleship and hesitated, saying, "Miss?"

Meng Jin Yan shook her head slightly, signaling her to say no more.

The others also looked in the direction Lin Yan had left, still somewhat shaken.

They had already collected many spirit herbs, so there was no need to venture out and risk more. Who knew if there were other demonic beasts in this valley?

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Meng Jin Yan knew it was time to leave this place. She piloted the battleship and began to flee towards the next spiritual energy gathering point.

But Lin Yan's words still echoed in her mind. She sighed inwardly, knowing that the other party was unfathomable and difficult to win over.

Lin Yan, Big Yellow Dog, and Tu Qiang arrived at a tomb, seemingly deep in thought.

Big Yellow Dog looked around, bewildered, and said, "Master, what are we doing here? It doesn't seem like there's anything special about this place."

Tu Qiang, on the other hand, cautiously observed his surroundings. He had already experienced the horrors of the secret realm, and this place was clearly much more terrifying than the valley they had just left.

This tomb occupied an extremely vast space, like a small world, eerie and desolate everywhere, emitting a chilling aura.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "There's a trace of Mo Lingxiao's aura here, though very faint. It should be a remnant from ten thousand years ago."

"Oh?"

Big Yellow Dog immediately became interested. The Mo Lingxiao that Lin Yan spoke of was the master's third disciple, with unparalleled talent.

Now that there was his aura here, it couldn't help but carefully sense it and indeed found a wisp of energy in this tomb.

Lin Yan swept his divine sense, and with a thought, the entire tomb began to shake. The entire secret realm felt it.

A white stream of light emerged from one of the tombs and floated into Lin Yan's palm.

Big Yellow Dog and Tu Qiang couldn't help but look, only to see a dragon-shaped white jade pendant resting quietly in Lin Yan's palm, emitting a faint glow.

Lin Yan's fingers gently caressed the jade pendant, and its contents were transmitted into his mind.

It was a battlefield. Countless experts, whose auras suppressed the realm, floated under the starry sky. From their shapes and appearances, it was not difficult to tell they were from myriad races.

At the forefront were three figures whose auras dominated heaven and earth. The surrounding space seemed unable to bear it, constantly cracking and repairing.

One of them was an expert radiating endless golden-white light, whose figure and appearance could not be discerned.

Another was a Middle-aged man in white, with a human-like appearance, heroic and extraordinary.

Finally, there was a tall being, shrouded in black mist, with two horns on its head and two clusters of Hellfire burning in its eye sockets, all staring indifferently at a man not far away.

That was a young man in a black ink battle robe. Although his appearance was ordinary, the type that wouldn't stand out in a crowd, his aura soared to the heavens, and his battle intent swept across the world.

His name was Mo Lingxiao!

At this moment, he looked at the group of people opposite him with a very calm expression, and a voice resonated through heaven and earth: "Everyone, if you want to kill me, Mo Lingxiao, you are not worthy!"
