Chapter 467: Chapter 220: A Single Call, a Hundred Responses! Chen Xuan as the Leader

A smile touched Chen Xuan’s lips. He watched the creature and said, "Then forget it. You’re of most help to me dead!"

K-K-K-KRAK!

BANG!

With a clench of his five fingers, he instantly destroyed the black membrane inside the creature’s body and crushed its head.

The Unwarranted Heart Fire surged forth, immediately enveloping its entire body. Piercing, bloodcurdling screams instantly erupted from the headless corpse.

It had to be said, this kind of creature was bizarre.

Its head was gone, yet its body was somehow still alive.

If an ordinary expert had encountered it, they would have exhausted their strength to shatter its head and certainly assumed it was dead. At that point, they would inevitably let their guard down.

But unfortunately for the creature, it had run into Yama Chen.

After he crushes your head, he follows up by destroying your body.

Now, it couldn’t even pretend to be dead.

"Yama Chen, someone will avenge me! They will! You’ll die a horrible death, a horrible death... ARGH..."

A constant stream of shrill, agonizing screams emanated from the creature’s body.

The entire headless corpse struggled violently, turning to ash piece by piece under the raging flames.

Chu Shanhe and Yin Jiuxuan were both aghast.

’This thing...’

’Its head is gone, but it can still live.’

PFFT!

Finally! A muffled sound was heard.

The headless corpse was completely reduced to ash.

[You have slain a creature from the depths of the Dark World. Your satisfaction is exceptional. Retribution points +200,000!]

"Alliance Leader, Yin Jiuxuan, did you see that?"

Chen Xuan said directly, "From now on, when you encounter these things, simply smashing their bodies or brains is useless. Only complete annihilation will truly kill them. I also just inspected it carefully—there’s a black membrane inside its body. That membrane can block the vast majority of external force. Most attacks will be deflected by it, which creates the illusion that they’re difficult to lock onto!"

"A black membrane!"

Chu Shanhe’s gaze hardened.

He instantly recalled the scene of his own battle with the creature.

At the time, his various attacks had indeed proven largely ineffective.

In the end, he had only managed to injure it by relying on the Earth God Soil.

"Yes."

Chen Xuan nodded. "Unless you use a special attack, you won’t be able to penetrate this membrane. Let’s go. We’ll wait at Grotto Heaven City."

He immediately took action, flying off into the distance.

...

The entire Grotto Heaven world was in an uproar.

The lords of every mountain and grotto were being mobilized.

Lu Qilin and Gongsun Wuwo were personally making the rounds to persuade them.

Added to that, the Sun family of Earth Hero Mountain had just been annihilated.

Everyone realized the severity of the situation.

The decision required almost no thought.

The vast majority of mountain and grotto lords answered the call immediately, converging directly on Grotto Heaven City.

A small number of mountain and grotto lords frowned, somewhat reluctantly. Most of them had a history of conflict with Chu Shanhe and Chen Xuan.

Now they were being asked to stand on the same side as Chu Shanhe and Chen Xuan, and they felt some resistance.

But the problem was that the vast majority had already agreed.

If you disagreed or deliberately shirked your duty at a time like this...

...you would incur public wrath.

Before everyone set out on the expedition, they would surely sacrifice your entire family first.

Otherwise, who would dare to march off to war with a clear conscience?

What if, after they left, you started trouble behind their backs and slaughtered all their descendants? Wouldn’t they suffer a tremendous loss?

So, under these circumstances, no matter how unwilling they were, they didn’t dare to delay.

And so, the entire Grotto Heaven world seethed with activity.

Wave after wave of powerful auras erupted, converging on Grotto Heaven City like a meteor shower.

The people of Grotto Heaven City were all shocked, looking up at the sky in confusion.

Feeling the terrifying auras unique to the Outer Saint Realm, everyone trembled to their very souls.

"What’s happening? Why are the lords of every Grotto Heaven’s mountains and grottos on the move?"

"Something big is happening. Something huge is about to go down..."

"No way. What could be so big? Didn’t we just fight off a dark tide not long ago?"

"All the experts are gathering in Grotto Heaven City. This must have something to do with the Dark World..."

"The Dark World?"

The crowd was shocked, and the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

For the vast majority of people, the Dark World still represented mystery and peril.

Anything associated with the Dark World was bound to be utterly terrifying.

But now, those normally high-and-mighty mountain and grotto lords were all converging on Grotto Heaven City.

This was nothing short of shocking.

The unknown was the most frightening thing of all!

As countless people chattered, Chen Xuan stood atop the city wall, his gaze sweeping over the scene.

He saw more and more streaks of light rapidly converging...

The scale of this gathering was even greater than the last war against the Northern Barbarians.

In the last war against the Northern Barbarians, they had only deployed a little over a hundred Outer Saints.

But now, aside from leaving one Outer Saint behind to guard each territory, every other Outer Saint from the various Grotto Heavens had been mobilized.

"Well? It’s a magnificent sight, isn’t it?"

Chu Shanhe smiled, standing beside Chen Xuan.

"It is indeed," Chen Xuan nodded.

"Feeling like showing off a little?" Chu Shanhe chuckled.

"Showing off?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"That’s right. How about you lead everyone into the Dark World in a little while?" Chu Shanhe said with a smile.

"Me?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. "That is an excellent suggestion! HAHAHA..."

’When I lead several hundred Outer Saints charging into the Dark World...’

’I wonder how terrified those Dark World factions will be. They might even think that I, Yama Chen, have come to invade the shallow darkness, right?’
