Chapter 1141 - 451: The Strange SSS Level Quest (2)
How can mere human cultivators be their opponents?
However, just as Zhang Beixing was pondering, an unprecedented ominous aura suddenly emanated from the depths of the valley.
The aura was incredibly overwhelming, as if containing endless vitality.
Yet it also felt like it came from the deepest depths of Hell, eerie and chilling.
"Heh heh, today, there are human youngsters daring to step into our territory."
A treacherous voice abruptly echoed.
The voice was old and hollow, permeated with a chilling hostility.
"Utterly reckless, seeking their own doom!"
"Even the lowly demons couldn’t deal with him, he does have some skills."
"But in front of me, no matter how strong a human is, he’s just an ant."
"Today, let me personally send this youngster on his way!"
Before the voice fell silent, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted.
The entire Valley of Ten Thousand Demons shuddered.
The earth cracked, and mountains crumbled.
Countless demon beasts let out shrill cries and fled in panic.
Clearly, even they feared this voice’s owner immensely.
"Who dares to be insolent in my presence?"
Zhang Beixing frowned, his expression gloomy.
He could sense that the intruder’s strength was extraordinary.
The overwhelming aura was even comparable to that of the Fallen Angel!
It seems that this time, he has truly encountered a formidable opponent.
[Host, be cautious, the intruder is very strong!]
The Persuasion System also warned repeatedly, its tone solemn.
[I sense his aura belongs to the Ancient Demon Race.]
[Moreover, his cultivation is exceedingly high, he’s a great powerhouse!]
[You must not underestimate at all, you must fight with all your might!]
The System’s words confirmed Zhang Beixing’s judgment even more.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart.
His eyes were sharp as he stared ahead.
A dark shadow was dashing swiftly from the depths of the valley.
The speed was so extreme that it was difficult to capture with the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it was already close.
"Heh heh, human youngster, face your death!"
The dark shadow cackled sinisterly before suddenly striking.
A pitch-black claw, carrying destructive power, reached for Zhang Beixing’s head.
In that instant, Zhang Beixing felt his scalp tingle, as if facing a great enemy.
The opponent’s strength was terrifying to such an extent!
He gritted his teeth, channeling his Spiritual Power, and crossed his arms, gathering protective energy.
Simultaneously, his figure retreated violently, attempting to dodge this fatal blow.
However, the opponent was simply too fast.
Barely blocking the claw, Zhang Beixing felt a great force penetrate through the shield and strike him fiercely.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Zhang Beixing flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Crashing through a dozen big trees in succession, he managed to stop his figure, landing heavily on the ground.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Master!"
Alina and Richard were shocked, rushing forward in panic.
However, the next moment, the dark shadow struck again.
Another claw, fiercely targeting Zhang Beixing!
"Die, human!"
The dark shadow sneered, voice sinister.
As the claw was about to hit, at the critical moment...
"Don’t you dare hurt my master!"
Richard roared, suddenly blocking in front of Zhang Beixing.
His eyes were scarlet, his Spirit Power fully unleashed.
The killing intent around him soared to the heavens, he seemed prepared for a death-defying act!
"Richard, don’t!"
Alina saw this, her face turned pale as death.
She knew full well that with Richard’s strength, he couldn’t possibly block this attack.
Doing so was akin to seeking death!
But it was already too late.
The dark claw slashed through Richard’s chest heavily.
Blood splattered three feet.
Poof!
Richard let out a muffled grunt, blood gushing from his mouth.
He flew out like a kite with a broken string.
"Richard!"
Alina screamed desolately, her eyes filled with despair.
She rushed forward, cradling Richard in her arms.
Tears poured like rain, heartbroken beyond words.
"No... don’t die... Richard..."
She trembled, barely able to speak.
However, Richard’s life force was rapidly fading.
If this continued, even Zhang Beixing wouldn’t be able to save him.
"Richard... you fool..."
Zhang Beixing gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
Suppressing his pain, he walked step by step to Richard’s side.
His gaze was complex, filled with sorrow.
"Master... I’m sorry..."
Richard smiled weakly, his voice barely audible.
"I failed to protect you..."
"In the future... please take care... master..."
With that, he slowly closed his eyes.
No more sound came.
"Richard!!!"
Alina wailed, tears streaming down her face.
She trembled, clutching Richard’s body, utterly unable to stand.
Zhang Beixing’s face was deathly pale, his entire body trembling.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost sank into his flesh.
"Damn it... it’s all my fault..."
"If I hadn’t been careless, Richard..."
"He wouldn’t have died..."
Zhang Beixing was overwhelmed with grief and anger, feeling as if knives pierced his heart.
He raised his head, his gaze sharp as knives, fixating on the dark shadow ahead.
"Demon race scum, I’ll make you pay with your life!"
Before the words fell, Zhang Beixing suddenly erupted.
His wings unfolded behind him, radiating golden light.
In the next moment, he soared into the sky, transforming into a beam of golden light, fiercely charging at the dark shadow!
"Evil-Breaking Divine Palm!"
With a resounding shout, Zhang Beixing unleashed both palms.
Palm winds whistled, sweeping with immense killing intent, carrying unstoppable power, striking at the dark shadow!
This blow, he gave it his all, wagering everything!
Even if it costs his life, he would avenge Richard!
"Hmph, an ant trying to stop a chariot!"
The dark shadow sneered coldly, standing unmoveable.
Facing Zhang Beixing’s full-force attack, he showed no signs of dodging whatsoever!
