Chapter 1918: Guardian of a Lost Civilization! (2/2)

Front, back, left, right, up, down—its position was constantly shifting, each time attacking from a completely unexpected angle that had no relation to the previous one.

The attacks were fast, vicious, and accurate. They were all aimed at Wang Chong's vital points, and when they sliced toward him, they seemed ordinary and unremarkable. It was only when they were about to impact that they erupted with horrifying strength that shook the very fabric of space.

In the face of these bizarre attacks, Wang Chong was forced completely on the defensive.

”Found it!”

After some time, Wang Chong's eyes flashed. Through the 'True World', he had finally found his opponent.

Bang!

Gripping the Xuanyuan Sword, Wang Chong used the Greater Void Step to fiercely slash at his opponent just when his foe was slicing at his neck.

Rumble!

There was a thunderous boom as Wang Chong's immense attack succeeded in forcing his foe out into the open.

It was a humanoid creature with pale skin and empty eye sockets. It wore a tattered black robe, and in its hand was a massive scythe that was nearly two meters long.

This scythe was so sharp that just looking at it seemed to slice apart one's gaze.

The attacks Wang Chong had been facing had all come from this large scythe.

Boom! Wang Chong immediately unleashed a destructive torrent of energy from the Xuanyuan Sword, which smashed into the bizarre human-shaped creature like a comet and slammed it into the ground below.

Wang Chong had been using the True World ability this entire time, but his opponent's attacks had been simply too erratic to pin down, completely defying the normal conventions of martial artists.

It was only after Wang Chong had identified the traits and cycle of his opponent's attacks that he finally chose to abruptly strike and defeat his foe.

This time, Wang Chong held nothing back and immediately shot toward the bottom.

A fiery light assailed him, and he could see crimson flows of lava around him.

There were chunks of rock protruding from the lava flows, like small mountains, and on a dark brown rock, Wang Chong found the bizarre humanoid creature.

Wang Chong drifted down like a leaf, and at this moment, the creature began to move.

Its body trembled twice, and then it got up off the ground and blinked away. As Wang Chong landed, it roared and shot off toward another sharp rock.

Wang Chong simply landed on the ground and did not pursue.

”What is this thing? Its physical features are not similar to the Arabs, and its skin is ghastly white as if it hasn't seen the sun in ages. Was it a guardian for that lost civilization? But how could anything live that long?” Wang Chong muttered to himself, very interested in this bizarre creature.

”Invader, die!”

At this moment, the human-shaped monster gave a strangled roar, hunching its body and beginning to radiate hostility.

Wang Chong smiled, completely unpanicked.

After fighting with it, Wang Chong had gradually begun to understand that the monster wasn't very smart. It only knew a few simple words like 'die' or 'mark'… It was like these words had been imprinted on its mind.

Wang Chong had also noticed something else strange. The monster's life energy was extremely weak, almost the same as an insect's. It was basically a corpse.

Despite the monster's formidable hostility, Wang Chong didn't take it seriously. He had grasped its methods of attack and movement, so it could no longer threaten him.

Buzz!

Wang Chong took two steps forward, but then he suddenly sensed something and stopped, grimacing.

Around Wang Chong, several hundred feet away, four identical human-shaped creatures had emerged, snarling as they gripped their large scythes and slowly approached him.

Bzzz! In front of Wang Chong, black mist began to seep out of the injured monster, wrapping around its entire body. A moment later, the monster became as indistinct as a shadow to Wang Chong's senses.

The same transformation occurred with the other monsters.

Splash! Hiss! The lava around him became restless, and a few seconds later, massive fire snakes reminiscent of the fire men appeared at the feet of the five human-shaped monsters.

Hisss!

One of the fire snakes opened its mouth and spat out a gout of golden flame that caused black smoke to rise from the ground.

Wang Chong's heart shivered. He could tell that the golden flame was at least seven thousand degrees, hot enough to hurt even an expert like Wang Chong!

The five bizarre human-shaped monsters and these fire snakes immediately made the bottom of the well into a dangerous trap.

”Wang Chong, how is it?” A voice came from above.

But it made Wang Chong grimace. It was Gao Xianzhi's voice. There was no doubt that Gao Xianzhi and the others had no longer been able to restrain themselves after his long period of silence and had decided to come down.
