Chapter 412 - To Kill a Way Out!
Many cultivators glared at Yan Jun begrudgingly – if not for his actions, those two hundred or so of their sect mates might not have died!
Feeling guilty, Yan Jun coughed softly. “I didn’t mean it either, I just wanted to let everyone get more rest.”
Some cultivators could not help but laugh coldly. “Ha, easy for you to say! More than two hundred fellow disciples died here because of that remark of yours!”
“That’s because they aren’t strong enough. Don’t follow us into the valley if you’re afraid of death!”
“Senior Brother Yan, we’re all from the same sect! How can you say something like that!”
“That’s enough!”
Sensing that the tension was strong and that they were only going to argue more intensely, Uncle Liang hollered and stopped the commotion.
Feeling frustrated, Tang Yu raised her brows slightly and waved her hand. “Everyone, quieten down. I made the wrong decision earlier on.”
“Everyone, prepare for a fierce battle. A beast stampede is approaching!”
Beast stampede!
The sound of those two words caused everyone’s hearts to skip a beat.
Narrowing his gaze, Su Zimo looked over and a cold glint flashed through his eyes as he said slowly, “Furthermore… it’s a beast stampede made up of ancient remnant beasts!”
“Ah!”
“What!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
A single ancient remnant beast was more than enough to give them all headaches.
In the ancient battlefield, who could survive if an ancient remnant beast stampede swarmed over them?
Which sect could live to see the next day?
“I-If we w-were to retreat now, c-can we escape?”
Finally, a cultivator could not endure the pressure and whimpered with a shaky tone.
Faint tremors were coming from the ground, as if a massive army was charging over. Although they could not see it, everyone could sense the violent aura that was coming from in front of them!
It was too late.
That person already knew the answer without Su Zimo replying.
The most worrying situation had arrived.
Furthermore, it was much scarier than they had imagined it to be!
The tremors on the ground were intensifying.
Even though the cultivators clearly know that there were countless remnant beasts that were charging towards them, the most frightening thing was that they couldn’t see anything against the cover of the fog!
Unable to withstand it, some cultivators sat wasted on the floor as their knees buckled against the tremors of the ground. They were mentally crushed as they cried helplessly.
In the face of death, cultivators were no different from mortals — they were equally insignificant and helpless without a single shred of dignity.
“What should we do?”
Tang Yu looked at Su Zimo and asked instinctively.
Su Zimo replied indifferently, “Of course we welcome them.”
‘Of course we welcome them!’
Those simple few words contained a fearless courage that overlooked everything!
Everyone, Tang Yu included, was thinking about how they should escape and survive. However, Su Zimo’s thoughts were opposite of theirs!
Tang Yu was invigorated as she turned to look at Su Zimo’s side profile.
Although it was in the night and Su Zimo’s face was a little blurry, his eyes were still bright as always, resembling two shimmering stars that illuminated the darkness.
Sensing something, Su Zimo turned slightly and smiled calmly, asking, “Or, do we have any other way out?”
Tang Yu was stunned.
That’s right… what other way out did they have?
By the time the ancient remnant beast stampede was charging over, they no longer had a way out.
Even if they were to turn and escape right now, they wouldn’t be able to shake off the pursuit of the ancient remnant beasts!
“Everyone, I know that you’re desperate right now. However, this is a test of life and death! Those that are fearful, weak and cowardly, will only be faced with a single outcome… death.”
Su Zimo’s voice sounded, resolute with conviction, “Since we have no other way out, we can only continue forward with the long swords in our hands…”
“To kill a way out!”
