Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Novel - Chapter 243
Chapter 243: Fear
The Fire Spirit King and Turkey activated their internal energy and forcefully dispersed the smoke inside. When the smoke dissipated, Li Yuanqing was exposed. The honest-looking bull had already disappeared. It had actually become such a strange human kid.
The human sneered at the two demons in front of him. There was obvious disdain between his brows.
“What? Human!”
When the two demon experts saw this, they already knew that they had been tricked. They hurriedly roared and picked up their weapons to attack.
The two huge axes in the Fire Spirit King’s hands expanded into huge axes that were hundreds of feet long. These two axes mercilessly slashed at Li Yuanqing’s head.
An incomparably huge pressure was condensed on the ax. This pressure was pressed down on Li Yuanqing’s body. If it were an ordinary person, their soul would have long dissipated under this pressure.
However, Li Yuanqing was still indifferent to this. He only raised his head and stared at them coldly. These two were fourth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm experts. If the two of them had gone to invade Ping City back then, Li Yuanqing would not have been so confident.
However, things are different now. Li Yuanqing was already a sixth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm expert. He had no pressure facing these two fourth-grade fellows.
The pressure in the space outside was still condensing. Not only the Fire Spirit King in front, but also Turkey behind.
Turkey had already transformed into his true form. He really turned into a huge firebird that was burning with flames. He waved his wings and emitted endless flames from his body that gathered in the spear in front of him.
…
After absorbing so much flames, the spear kept expanding to hundreds of meters long. It crossed the world and was incomparably majestic.
Under the pincer attack of these two sides, Li Yuanqing, who was standing in the middle, looked so small, like an inconspicuous grain of sand in this world.
The Fire Spirit King’s eyes burned with flames. He had already seen this guy’s miserable appearance when his bones were shattered. If this kid had the guts to come here, he must have thought of his outcome.
The Fire Spirit King roared as the power in his body continuously surged into the ax in his hand. Below the ax was Li Yuanqing’s insignificant body. It looked so ridiculous.
“Die!”
With this shout, the attacks of the Fire Spirit King and Turkey gathered together and targeted Li Yuanqing, who was standing in the middle. However, just as the energy that the two of them had gathered was about to explode, everything in the world suddenly stopped.
It was as if time had stopped and space had completely frozen.
Despite that, the thoughts of the Fire Spirit King and Turkey were clearly still active. The two of them widened their eyes and looked at each other. They could not understand what was happening.
Li Yuanqing was sandwiched between the two of them. He would definitely die when the attack landed. However, why was their all-out attack frozen on the spot and unable to move? Before the two of them could react, Li Yuanqing suddenly disappeared. The human who was as small as an ant in the middle of them had disappeared into thin air.
The two of them were shocked and tried their best to search, but Li Yuanqing was nowhere to be found. He had already disappeared completely.
Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled, Li Yuanqing’s voice suddenly came from the sky.
“I still have some use for your divine senses.”
The two of them did not know what he meant. They only felt that their bodies had become light and their divine senses had actually begun to separate from their bodies. Their control of the divine sense over their bodies had fallen to the freezing point. They could no longer feel any power in their bodies. They only felt a thick fear spreading in their hearts.
This fear kept spreading like a virus to their entire bodies. Their bodies were so cold.
There was no pain in this feeling of being stripped away. There was only endless fear. This fear from the bottom of their hearts made them feel extremely hopeless. There was no way to resist this powerful force.
Was this absolute strength?
Their divine senses kept wailing, but their bodies could no longer move or accept any orders. All thoughts of mobilizing their spiritual power were blocked. All they could do was watch as their divine senses were stripped away step by step and left their bodies.
Unknowingly, the two of them had already flown into the air. They looked at the frozen scene below and could no longer remain calm.
What kind of scene could have such pressure? Other than Lord Black Dragon, no one in the world could cause such powerful pressure.
After their divine senses were stripped away, they transformed into two small balls of light beside Li Yuanqing.
The two light balls twisted and turned into two little people.
The two little fellows looked at the huge Li Yuanqing in front of them in confusion for a while. After reacting, they finally realized that their divine senses had been forcefully extracted from their bodies.
Although they could already escape from their bodies with their strength, they had been forcefully stripped away and turned into such a miserable state. They could not fight back at all, and it was impossible for them to return.
At this moment, how could the two of them not understand how powerful this was? They knelt on Li Yuanqing’s raised palms and wailed.
“Sir, please spare our lives. We failed to recognize you and offended you. We have no intention of disrespecting you. Please spare our lives!”
“Sir, spare me!”
Li Yuanqing looked down at the two little people and did not answer their request. He only flipped his hands and lowered them naturally, collecting the souls of the two super demon experts.
It was only at this moment that the frozen space below was finally released. However, instead of colliding, the two bodies retreated and returned the way they came.
This scene was as if the two of them had repeated the actions they had just done. How strange was that? Not only that, but the two of them also slowly shrank back. In just a short while, they had shrunk to their original size. There were no traces left at the scene that could prove what had just happened.
Li Yuanqing turned around and left. He could not stay here for long. This continent was quite wide. There was actually such a powerful creature hidden here.
Li Yuanqing originally thought that he had already wiped out the main force of the demons, but it seemed that the Black Dragon was still hiding many things.
After leaving the mountain, Li Yuanqing returned to the Black Stone Valley. He directly entered the black stone hall. This time, no one stopped him. He kept moving along the passageway and reached the deepest part.
Originally, Li Yuanqing was not familiar with this place and had already planned to give up exploring. However, the two people who had delivered themselves to his door clearly knew this place like the back of their hands. This was a good opportunity.
He returned to the narrow hut. There was nothing strange about it. It looked quite normal. It was still the same as when Li Yuanqing left. There were people sitting in all eight directions, and only the south was empty.
Li Yuanqing knew that this person was already dead.
After returning here, Li Yuanqing released the two souls again and placed the two of them on the table. He sat on the stone platform and stared silently at the two trembling little fellows.
After being released, the two of them looked around for a while, not understanding where they were being kept.
Although the two of them had been ordered to guard this place, they had only been here for a few hundred years. They had never had the chance to come in and see the scene inside, so they did not know where they were now.
“Sir, please spare our lives. We were confused and angered you. Please spare our lives!”
Turkey was kneeling on the table now, kowtowing, hoping to find a way out.
At this moment, the Fire Spirit King did not put on any airs. He followed his good brother and knocked his crazy head against the table.
Both of them knew very well that they would probably die today.
Li Yuanqing looked at the two of them silently and asked, “Don’t cry here first. Answer my question.”
“Sir, feel free to ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“Just ask anything you want!”
Li Yuanqing nodded in satisfaction and said, “Do you know where this place is? Why did the two of you guard here? What is your goal?”
Only then did the two of them have the time to look around and reevaluate their current situation. However, the two of them had no impression of this place. However, this unique aura was so familiar to them.
“This is?”
“This is the secret room?”
When the Fire Spirit King came in to check just now, he only saw that the seal on the door had been broken from outside and hurriedly went back to report. He did not expect that there was another world inside.
Li Yuanqing looked at the two of them and asked, “Stop pretending to be stupid. Say whatever you know quickly. Who are these people here? Why were they sealed here? What happened back then?”
The two of them looked at Li Yuanqing bitterly and complained.
“Sir, how would the two of us know about this? We’re just here under orders. We don’t know why this place is here.”
“Nonsense. You were talking logically just now. How dare you say that you don’t know anything? I don’t think the two of you are honest at all!”
The Fire Spirit King still wanted to bluff his way through, but how could his thoughts be enough? As Li Yuanqing spoke, a ball of white flames appeared in his hand. This white flame looked ordinary and did not give anyone any pressure. However, the moment the two of them saw this flame, they immediately cowered and said with a sobbing tone.
“Sir, spare me. I’ll tell you! I know!” Turkey hurriedly said to Li Yuanqing, “This place is really a sealed array left behind by the humans. Back then, the humans were severely injured in the array and knew that it was difficult to resist. Therefore, they chose the last of their clansmen to hide here, hoping to leave behind descendants.”
“So these are all humans hiding here. Then what’s with this array formation?”
Turkey hurriedly replied, “Actually, there was originally an incomparably thick mineral vein outside! And this array formation here is their transmission array to transport spirit stones.”
The Fire Spirit King had yet to say anything, but Turkey had almost finished explaining everything. This made him extremely anxious. He hurriedly interrupted and said, “Back then, there was a disagreement among the humans. Originally, the human race occupied the strongest mineral vein and would not decline even after tens of thousands of years.”
“What happened after that? Why were they defeated in the war with the demons?”
The Fire Spirit King replied, “It’s because a traitor appeared in the human race. They secretly mined the mineral vein wantonly and transported it out from here. It passed through the most prosperous city of the human race and landed in the hands of the demons.”
Turkey continued, “Those humans are all rotten. They guarded such a huge property, but they died so thoroughly. It can be said that there’s no value in saving them.”
As soon as Turkey finished speaking, he realized that the person standing in front of him was a human and immediately changed his words. “Of course, you’re different from them. You’re magnificent and unparalleled. It’s because the humans are all rotten that they were defeated.”
Li Yuanqing did not buy it. He continued to ask, “Then where did those people go? Where is that human city?”
It was the Fire Spirit King’s turn to say, “That human city disappeared with those people.”
“Disappeared?”
“That’s right, sir. It disappeared.”
“Didn’t you already win a complete victory? Why did you let that huge human city disappear?”
Turkey frowned and said, “Sir, you’re right. However, those humans had a lot of savings in the past. I wonder what method they used to move the entire city away at that time. Overnight, only the empty wilderness was left.”
The Fire Spirit King at the side also said, “That’s right. Originally, the demons gave the humans a night’s time limit, but the next day, we discovered that the remaining humans had already run away.”
