The Invincible Strongest Student

Chen Moxiang’s words sent a chill down Lin Tian’s spine.

The statues moved? In this underground palace, there are only the Qilin statues and the statues with cranes in their mouths. Did they move?

"It’s you!"

Lin Tian’s expression turned fierce as he snatched the piece of red sleeve from her hand. He crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth.

The sleeve’s fabric was not much, but stuffing it into Wang Sijing’s mouth was enough to render her silent, at least stopping this damned woman from continuing her incantation.

The next second, Lin Tian saw a smile on Wang Sijing’s face again. It was sinister, a look of a scheme achieved.

Lin Tian’s heart skipped a beat. He looked down at the cracks in the Array on the ground. Blood was flowing into them, spreading along the fissures. It seemed like it was going to fill the patterns of the large Array with Wang Sijing’s blood.

The blood was spreading quickly because the penetrating wound on Wang Sijing’s arm continued to bleed. It wouldn’t be long before the entire Array would be filled to satisfaction. That would be when true disaster strikes!

According to Wang Sijing’s previous remarks, this Array was built based on the bloodline of the Wang Family. The Array can resonate with Wang Sijing’s blood, and it already possessed remarkable power before. How much more now that it drinks blood?

Following Chen Moxiang’s alert, Lin Tian also glanced at the statues beside them. He discovered they indeed moved! As if coming to life, moving of their own accord. Initially, their movements were minor, but the speed increased rapidly.

As the statues moved, they scraped against the ground with a ’buzzing’ sound, which was unsettling to hear.

Everyone could see the dust on the statues fall off. Lin Tian noticed meticulously that not only did dust fall, but also the statue surfaces cracked with subtle lines. A few breaths later, the lines began to spread, and eventually, fragments flaked off the statue and fell to the ground.

Once the flaking was complete, the statues totally changed their appearance! Once ancient stone color, they now turned to jet-black jade. Fangs became sharper, and the carved clouds seemed to have come to life, rolling in waves.

Only then did it become clear, each statue was unique. Expressions varied from joy to anger, some wore smiles while others exuded murderous intent.

Simply looking at them made one’s heart chill, exuding a sense of eeriness.

What made Lin Tian most uneasy was, all the Qilin statues were moving toward the center of the underground palace. They seemed harmless, merely altering positions to form a certain arrangement!

It’s known these statues are key pieces of this great Array. If their positions alter, the function of the Array changes too. Earlier it was absorbing Spiritual Qi, but once the statues finished repositioning, it could very well demand lives!

"Quick! Find an exit. We have to leave here as fast as possible!" Lin Tian spoke rapidly. At the same time, he scooped the bloodied Wang Sijing into his arms.

Xv Jiazhi also had a stern expression, quickly scanning around and said: "But there’s no exit here. Besides the stone pillars and statues, there’s nothing else!"

Hearing this, the Wang Sijing in Lin Tian’s arms laughed even more joyfully.

Lin Tian had no time for Wang Sijing now, only said with a grim face: "To the second floor! Quick!"

After speaking, Lin Tian sprinted towards the staircase they descended, with feet lightly stepping, swiftly charging towards the corridor.

Seeing this, Xv Jiazhi immediately supported Chen Moxiang, and began using Lightweight Skill. They pursued after Lin Tian.

Only then did Xv Jiazhi understand the speed difference between him and Lin Tian. He was too fast! It was not at all an exaggeration to say, hard to catch even his shadow!

Rushing at maximum speed to the corridor, before he could take a few steps. Suddenly, the ground beneath him shook, and a giant stone fell ahead of the corridor with a ’bang’, hitting the ground heavily. The noise was painfully piercing to the ears.

Simultaneously, Lin Tian suddenly felt his back tingling sharply cold!

He instinctively squatted, turning his face aside.

He heard a ’buzz’, another stone slab flew over from behind him. It passed directly over his scalp, grazing past.

It shaved off some of Lin Tian’s hair, and his scalp was in some severe pain! He had a fleeting illusion, as if his head was going to be wasted too.

He reached to touch, thankfully, his head was still there!

Only... his hair on top was gone!

Bald!

His scalp was still oozing blood!

Instantly, Lin Tian broke out in cold sweat from every pore, trembling in fear. He thought with horror, if I were taller by two or three centimeters, then the top of my head...

The scene was so terrifying that Lin Tian dared not to think any further. At this moment, caring about nothing else, he carried Wang Sijing, turned around, and dashed away at top speed! God knows what changes will occur next.

Once Lin Tian carried Wang Sijing and fled out of the corridor with a worried heart, another loud noise came from behind. Another giant stone fell down, if Lin Tian’s actions had been two seconds slower, he and Wang Sijing could have been squashed!

After narrowly escaping, cold sweat poured from every pore on Lin Tian’s body. His tight clothes were soaked through, clinging uncomfortably to his skin.

At this time, Xv Jiazhi and Chen Moxiang caught up. They had heard the commotion in the corridor and absolutely did not intend to charge in, just concerned about Lin Tian’s safety.

Seeing him running out, Chen Moxiang’s tense nerves relaxed a little. When she saw Lin Tian’s hair on his head was shaved off, and still bleeding, her face turned pale.

Xv Jiazhi also jumped in shock, hurriedly asked: "Master, are you alright?"

He shouldn’t have asked, at this question, Lin Tian felt his head chill more intensely. It hurt too!

He clenched his teeth, pretending to be indifferent, said: "It’s nothing, just a little accident."

"A little accident..."

Nearly lost the top of his head, and that’s called a little accident?

"The stairs are blocked, we can’t go to the second floor anymore, we can only look for an exit to the next level..."

As he said this, Lin Tian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, making Xv Jiazhi step aside so as not to block his sight. Upon close look, the grooves of the Array in front were all filled with bright red blood! The air was filled with a scent of blood.

Lin Tian really wanted to stomp and curse! Where did so much blood come from? Such a large Array, and it got filled?!

Moreover, those statues appeared to have moved to their designated spots. Over forty Qilin statues, seemingly standing randomly. But on closer inspection, they resembled an army of millions, should anyone dive in, they would surely pay in blood!

Suddenly, the ground beneath Lin Tian’s feet trembled again, dust from the stone layer overhead was shaken loose!
