Even Fang Xingjian could not help but frown as he looked at this monstrous creature.

Behind him, Maria and the other two could not suppress the terror they were feeling. This was especially so for the black-haired and green-haired young men. Their faces were flush red, and their muscles contracted intensely and explosively as they shouted, “Let us go.”

“Damn it. We’re all done in by you.”

“Quickly escape, id*ot!”

Maria was the only one who still had a hint of calmness left. It was because she recognized Fang Xingjian’s identity. Although she had no idea that Fang Xingjian had already attained a breakthrough to tier six of the Divine level, she still had great confidence in his abilities.

The monstrous fish had seen Fang Xingjian by now, and it let out a series of roars. Many human faces rose up on its back, and it was as if there were countless people bellowing out furiously, crying out agonizingly, cursing, or weeping.

It was a terrifying yet disgusting sight, causing anyone who saw this scene to break out uncontrollably in goosebumps.

It was at this moment that Fang Xingjian realized the sounds which came out from the creature’s mouth were not roars. Instead, the sounds were shouts being made by these human faces from within its body. Their voices passed through the creature’s body and emerged through its mouth.

The monstrous fish’s appearance became increasingly hideous. It seemed like the embodiment of all evils, emitting endless nefariousness.

Fang Xingjian frowned as he looked at this monster. Hints of disgust and annoyance rose up in his heart.

However, he immediately reacted almost at the moment this emotion appeared.

‘What a monster. To think that it can bring about a fluctuation to my emotions?’

Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered, and black sword marks extended out directly onto the monstrous fish’s body. The countless black sword marks instantly engulfed it, as if wanting to cut it up into several hundred pieces of fish slices in an instant.

Purely black sword marks suddenly appeared like spatial cracks, and the black void emitted destructive auras. When the two young men saw the sword marks, they could only feel breath-taking sword intents gushing out toward them, stopping their trains of thought and blanking out their minds completely.

Yet, after the series of slashes from the sword marks struck down and then eventually dissipated from space, the monstrous fish still stood unscathed at its original position.

Thereafter, with a movement, it pounced toward Fang Xingjian.

“Hmm?” Fang Xingjian was slightly taken by surprise. It was true that he had not expected his sword marks to be ineffective against this monster.

Still, Fang Xingjian was a tier six Divine level expert after all. At the instant the sword marks were ineffective, he reacted and countless possibilities flashed past through his mind.

The sword marks were unable to have any effect… That meant this creature was either an existence that surpassed space-time or…

At the next moment, a black sword mark suddenly swept out before Fang Xingjian. The monstrous fish suddenly disappeared without a trace as a series of shrill and agonizing cries rang out.

The attacks which slashed the monstrous fish’s body were useless, yet the attacks which slashed out in the air caused it to disappear. At the sight of this, Maria and the other two young men revealed astonished gazes.

“What’s going on?” Maria asked. “Could it be that monster was an illusion and that its actual body is concealed somewhere else?”

Fang Xingjian replied indifferently, “The monstrous fish was an illusion, but its true form can’t be considered as concealed.”

Under Fang Xingjian’s senses, he could tell that the monstrous fish was merely a visual signal sent out by the other party. This monster in the crypt was just a situational existence created by waves—waves which were hidden in people’s hearts and in the air.
