The second layer of the Dark Abyss was truly devoid of light, filled with an ink-like darkness, resembling a Netherworld Hell.
Here, the air was permeated with a chilling, viscous evil aura that made it hard to move even an inch.
This layer was undoubtedly many times more perilous than the first.
Not long after a man and a dog had entered the second layer, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in front of them.
The owner of the lightning was a Blood Lion bathed in the glow of thunder.
The aura of this Blood Lion had actually reached the Fourth-stage Peak.
Equivalent to the Half-step Sealing Marquis Realm.
However, upon seeing the Blood Lion charging towards him, Lin Yi didn’t waste any words and immediately drew the Meteor Sword, swinging it forward.
The sword light slashed through midair and landed on the body of the Blood Lion Evil Beast.
Without any suspense, a conspicuous blood mark appeared on the neck of the Blood Lion Evil Beast, and blood gushed out like a fountain before it fell to the ground, lifeless.
If a disciple of the Blood God Sect had been there, seeing Lin Yi dispatch a Fourth-stage Peak Evil Beast with a single sword strike would have been unbelievable.
This First Saint General still had concealed strength?
Yet, this was Lin Yi’s true power.
After Lin Yi had killed the Blood Beast, Little Jin quickly moved forward to scavenge the spoils of war.
While it was indulging in the Evil Beast’s inner core,
suddenly, Little Jin seemed to sense something and abruptly looked behind him, squinting its eyes.
"Kid, someone’s following us."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that Saint Heir?"
Little Jin smiled, "Who else could it be?"
Lin Yi stroked his chin, his smile slightly sinister, "Then let’s set a trap."
Little Jin and Lin Yi exchanged a glance, revealing mutually understanding expressions, "Man, you’ve really improved a lot after following me for so long."
Setting traps was something it loved doing the most.
Later, Xue Wuya and Jue Xin, along with ten elite Blood God Guards, arrived at this part of the second layer.
After a brief survey, Jue Xin approached the corpse of the Blood Lion.
After a quick inspection, Jue Xin returned to Xue Wuya and reported, "The blood on this Evil Beast is still fresh; that kid must have just left."
"Damn, we’re one step behind again."
Xue Wuya’s expression darkened slightly.
However, the moment he saw the Blood Lion, his pupils suddenly constricted, "Is this... a Fourth-stage Peak Evil Beast, Thunder Blood Lion?"
A Fourth-stage Peak Evil Beast?
Hearing this, Jue Xin and the ten Blood God Guards all slightly changed their expressions.
A Fourth-stage Peak Evil Beast had strength comparable to a human’s Half-step Sealing Marquis Realm.
This Chen Feng, when did he gain such strength?
No wonder Duan Wuji fell at this youngster’s hands.
"And moreover, this Thunder Blood Lion was killed by a single sword thrust to the throat."
Xue Wuya stated coldly.
"A single sword thrust to the throat?"
At this, Jue Xin and the ten Blood God Guards all froze.
Killing a Fourth-stage Peak Evil Beast with a single sword?
Just then, a sudden commotion erupted around them!
Sword Qi streaked out from the darkness, surging toward Xue Wuya and the others.
Jue Xin roared, but it was already too late!
The ten Blood God Guards, caught off guard, were slashed, with seven or eight of them killed instantly, resulting in heavy losses.
These Blood God Guards were all carefully selected, with each having a cultivation level above the Third Realm Perfected.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, they were almost completely annihilated!
This was at least a Fourth-stage Array Formation!
Then, a rustling sound of footsteps came from ahead.
A figure approached from the front, it was Lin Yi.
Xue Wuya’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold gleam, "It was indeed you causing trouble!"
Lin Yi spoke with an indifferent face, "You wish to kill me, and do I not also wish to kill you?"
"As long as I slay you, the position of the Saint Heir will rightfully be mine."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wuya burst into a loud laugh, "I did not expect you, young man, to have such ambition to grasp the position of the Saint Heir?"
"Unfortunately, your beautiful dream must now come to an end!"
With that said, Xue Wuya’s eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, "Attack!"
Instantly, he grabbed with his palm, and a Gold-plated Blood Spear suddenly appeared in his hand, the Blood Spear piercing the void, bringing a hundred-meter-long Blood Python snapping and lunging toward Lin Yi.
And Jue Xin, along with the remaining two Blood God Guards, moved to Lin Yi’s back, aiming to pincer him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi ignored Jue Xin and the other two, and dashed directly toward Xue Wuya.
"Blood Dragon Shocking World."
Lin Yi didn’t waste words, and immediately struck the Seventh Palm of the Blood God Palm. In an instant, Palm Power transformed into a blood dragon, soaring across the sky.
With a dragon’s roar, the blood dragon and the blood python almost simultaneously disintegrated, but Xue Wuya was forced back several steps.
A look of shock suddenly appeared on his face.
This Chen Feng actually possessed the strength to confront him head-on?
Xue Wuya’s eyes glinted coldly, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Allowing you to live a few more days, I fear I might indeed be surpassed by you. However, today, you are certain to die!"
Just then, Jue Xin and the two Blood God Guards had already caught up to Lin Yi’s rear!
Lin Yi daring to leave such a gaping opening to Jue Xin and the trio was practically courting death!
However, just when they thought their pincer attack was going to succeed, eight Puppet Swordsmen suddenly appeared behind Lin Yi, lined up and swung their swords forward.
The Sword Qi, like a tidal wave, swept out. The remaining two Blood God Guards were instantly sliced up and died on the spot.
Only Jue Xin remained, struck by two swords, he flew backward.
And Little Jin, surrounded by those eight Puppet Swordsmen, was controlling the Ten Tribulations Sword Formation.
Yet, Xue Wuya directly ignored Little Jin, looking at Lin Yi with surprise, "You little fellow, are you also a master of arrays?"
Lin Yi stood there, unmoved, and spoke lightly, "How is it? Regret opposing me?"
A mocking smile appeared on Xue Wuya’s face, "You really think that as the Saint Heir of the Blood God Sect, this is all I am capable of?"
As soon as he finished speaking, startling bolts of blood light suddenly burst forth from Xue Wuya’s body!
His back flesh tore open, revealing a pair of large blood-colored flesh wings!
His body surged with blood light; at this moment, Xue Wuya was clearly no longer an ordinary member of the Human Clan!
Even Lin Yi felt a dangerous fluctuation at that moment!
"Is this... the Undying Blood Clan?!"
