Chapter 2277: Chapter 2277: Dangerous Grounds

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Tie Kuang’s eyes.

"Naturally."

"In fact, these people of the Heavenly Origin World have no idea about the true use of Cannibal Immortal."

"No matter what, this thing is definitely mine."

"However, the matter of the Demon Ancestor’s arrival cannot be delayed either."

As he said this, Tie Kuang thought for a moment, then turned to one of his subordinates and said:

"You, go and deploy some of the demon beasts we control, let them find this Cannibal Immortal as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

"Additionally, make sure not to let Taixu Old Demon and Blood Slaughter’s people know about this."

"Also, take this with you."

"This is a magical artifact from those external cultivators, with this, you can detect the position of the Cannibal Immortal."

Tie Kuang tossed a disk-shaped magical artifact to his subordinate.

"Yes, sir."

The subordinate received the magical artifact, then his figure flickered, transforming into a massive shadow of a rat, and swiftly flew into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

...

Three days later.

In a lush ancient forest.

Two groups of people were engaged in a pursuit, one chasing, the other fleeing.

The fleeing group maneuvered a flying boat treasure, comprising of three people, and two of them were heavily injured, their bodies covered in blood.

Only the man controlling the flying boat treasure remained calm.

Behind them, roughly a thousand miles away.

There was only one person.

This person had a murderous look on his face, revealing a sinister smile.

If Zhou Yu were here, he would instantly recognize this man as the one he had a conflict with, the ghost-named man.

The ghost-named man, being at the peak of the Void Refining Realm, was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance with the three people.

Seeing the person behind approaching to kill them.

One person on the flying boat treasure urgently shouted in anger:

"What’s it that you want?"

"The three of us have no grievance with you, why must you hunt us down to the end!"

Upon hearing this, the ghost-named man sneered:

"You don’t need to run."

"Those I have set my eyes on must die."

"Rest assured, I will slowly and completely devour your Primordial Spirit Essence."

Hearing these words, the three on the flying boat changed their expressions dramatically.

They knew this ghost-named man would never let them go.

At once, the three gritted their teeth and used their most desperate trump cards.

The speed of the flying boat treasure instantly doubled.

Seeing this, the ghost-named man sneered.

"Tricks of the trade."

In the next moment, the ghost-named man quickly cast a spell.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion.

The three on the flying boat turned to look.

Immediately, their expressions changed dramatically.

A massive black dragon phantom appeared on the body of the ghost-named man behind them.

With the power of the black dragon phantom, the ghost-named man’s speed instantly more than doubled.

The distance between them, instead of widening, shrank rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost-named man was within ten miles behind them.

The three’s faces turned pale as sheets.

At this moment, the ghost-named man sneered, then he controlled the massive black dragon phantom enveloping him to fiercely strike down on the flying boat treasure where the three were.

Seeing this, the three immediately roared in anger, and then simultaneously spurted essence blood, unleashing a secret technique at the cost of their primordial qi, attacking the giant claw of the black dragon.

Seeing this, the ghost-named man’s eyes filled with mockery.

He controlled the black dragon’s giant claw, which suddenly emitted a large area of crimson light in mid-air.

Boom!

The terrifying crimson light exploded forth, instantly shattering the trio’s offensive.

Next, the terrifying black dragon’s giant claw struck down hard.

It shattered the flying boat treasure directly, and the three cultivators on top perished instantly.

The ghost-named man’s figure flickered, arriving at the corpses of the three, then with a wave of his hand, the bodies and Primordial Spirits were instantly devoured by the black dragon phantom behind him.

After accomplishing all this, the black dragon phantom behind the ghost-named man vanished.

The ghost-named man licked his lips, chose a direction, and flew away.

...

In front of a massive flying waterfall.

Zhou Yu and the other two appeared here.

This flying waterfall was entirely different from an external one.

The water flowing here was entirely black spring water.

Furthermore, within a hundred-mile radius of the flying waterfall, it was shrouded in extremely dense demonic qi.

Yes, demonic qi.

And not the previously polluted miasma, spiritual energy mixture known as black qi.

At this time, the three stayed outside the demonic qi.

Yu Ruo furrowed her brows, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Daoist Yue, do we really have to go through here?"

"This place seems quite dangerous."

Yue Shan shook his head.

"There’s no other option."

"If we had more time, we could take a detour."

"However, in the past few days, we’ve encountered so many unexpected events on the road, causing us a lot of delay."

"We must traverse through here."

Yu Ruo quickly said:

"But according to what you said earlier, Daoist Yue, this place didn’t have such dense demonic qi."

"With such concentrated demonic qi, I don’t know if the Demon Avoidance Talisman will work."

"Even if it does, I fear it might not last long."

At this moment, Zhou Yu spoke:

"The demonic qi is secondary."

"What’s troublesome are the demon beasts hidden inside."

Upon hearing this, Yue Shan quickly said:

"Senior Zhou, if there are demon beasts, could you deal with them!"

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"If it’s just one or two, that’s no problem."

"But if there are many and with high ranks, I can’t do anything about it."

Yue Shan quickly said:

"Senior Zhou, based on my past experience, there shouldn’t be a large gathering of demon beasts inside here, at most just a few."

Hearing this, Yu Ruo quickly asked:

"Senior Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"Since we’re here, let’s take it easy."

"Let’s go in and take a look."

Hearing this, Yu Ruo took a deep breath and said:

"Alright, then I’ll listen to Senior."

This time, Zhou Yu’s figure flickered, taking the lead.

Yue Shan and Yu Ruo closely followed behind Zhou Yu.

Upon entering the area enveloped by the demonic qi around the flying waterfall, Zhou Yu immediately activated a protective treasure, revolving around his body.

Moreover, he also activated the Eye of Destruction, constantly watching the surrounding situations.

Facing such a treacherous environment, Zhou Yu did not dare to underestimate it.

Seeing this, Yue Shan took out the bead he had used before.

This bead now emitted a mysterious cyan light, encompassing his body.

As for Yu Ruo.

She took out over a dozen treasures at once.

These dozen treasures were all in the shape of mirrors.

Each one emitted different spiritual light.

Upon seeing these strange treasures, Zhou Yu glanced over.

It turned out to be a set of treasures.

Such treasures are quite rare.

Of course, Zhou Yu only glanced at it before continuing to focus on the surroundings while moving quickly towards the inside.
