Chapter 248: So You’re Afraid! (1/2)

“Eight Dragons Breaking The Seas!” Accompanied with eight dragon roars, eight dragon phantoms charged towards the eight fantasy stone beasts. Sequential explosions resonated, causing the energy within the hidden room to be even more dreadful. Tian Xue, Tian Xing and Huo Yu hid in a corner and covered their ears.

“What a terrifying aura! It is a lot more powerful compared to when he was fighting Wu Shang. These fellows would definitely be turned into dregs by the explosions,” Tian Xing looked at the domineering yet hovering Cheng Yu in surprise and admiration.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The eight fantasy stone beasts were all forced backwards. Some of them got knocked into the wall while some were knocked into the obelisk.

“Awoh! Awoh! Awoh!”

“What? Still not dead?” Hearing the fantasy stone beasts had actually stood up and started howling, Tian Xing cried out in astonishment. Cheng Yu was also surprised by the scene. Unexpectedly, these fantasy stone beasts’ defense was actually so strong. At this moment, the three headed big stone sculpture that was in the middle of the hall had issued rupturing noises, similar to breaking free of a shell. The huge sculpture had yet to move. However, its tentacle started to swing back and forth.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The tentacle struck the stone walls causing cracks to be formed on the ground and obelisk.

“Be careful!” Cheng Yu evaded in both directions to dodge the three headed fantasy stone beast’s tentacles when he suddenly saw two of the tentacles had actually flung towards Tian Xue, Tian Xing and Huo Yu. He was taken aback and shouted out. Huo Yu stood in front of Tian Xue and Tian Xing and used its wings to guard its front essentially forming a wing defense. Cheng Yu had experienced Huo Yu’s defense first-hand. Previously, when he was battling Huo Yu, he was rendered helpless by its absolute defense.

Today, although Huo Yu had advanced a realm by breaking through to Golden Core Realm, it was all due to Cheng Yu’s cultivation realm having advanced. Its strength was not in the least weaker than its previous iteration. He believed that blocking this three headed fantasy stone beast’s attack shouldn’t be a problem and Huo Yu would be able to protect Tian Xue and Tian Xing.

“Bang!” Just when Cheng Yu was extremely confident of Huo Yu, the three headed fantasy stone beast’s tentacle had hit Huo Yu’s wings defense. Surprisingly, Huo Yu was actually flung away by the tentacle of the three headed fantasy stone beast.

“How is this possible?” Cheng Yu was startled! Regardless, Huo Yu’s strength was only a bit weaker than Golden Core middle stage. This huge fantasy stone beast was only in the Golden Core middle stage. How could it possess such formidable strength? Cheng Yu sized up this three headed fantasy stone beast carefully. It was only then did he recall the words Huo Yu told him. Normally, those demon beasts with more heads would have more beast cores. Because of this, Cheng Yu finally understood the situation.

It turned out that the Golden Core middle stage three headed fantasy stone beast actually possessed the strength of a Golden Core late stage. This was truly too astonishing. Cheng Yu himself could be indifferent about it. With his current strength, he was not in the least weaker than a Golden Core late stage. Only Tian Xue and Tian Xing weren’t going to be easy to protect.

“Ah!” Tian Xue and Tian Xing were also sent flying by the tentacle from the three headed fantasy stone beast, hitting a wall before falling as they vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.

“D*mn it!” Cheng Yu got anxious as he blocked the two incoming tentacles as he flew over to Tian Xue and Tian Xing.

“How are you feeling?” Cheng Yu squatted beside Tian Xue, asking anxiously.

“Yet to die!” Tian Xue’s complexion was pale as she replied weakly without any strength.

“Here! Eat this!” Cheng Yu took out a spiritual grade Nirvana Pill and made Tian Xue swallow it. After that, he gave another to Tian Xing to consume. He lifted up his sword and stood in front of the duo, blocking away the incoming attacks from the tentacles.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Because Tian Xue and Tian Xing were behind him, Cheng Yu didn’t dare to evade. Cheng Yu could only forcefully block the unceasing attacks from the tentacles. Having forcefully received the attacks, it caused Cheng Yu’s Qi and blood to start surging, suffering in extreme pain.

“Cheng Yu, don’t bother about us, go and kill it!” Watching Cheng Yu had stood in front of them, forcefully withstanding the attacks by the tentacle, Tian Xue’s eyes had gotten moist as she cried out to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu didn’t speak but continued to receive the attacks from the tentacles. “D*mn it! Only being able to defend and not attack is truly tragic!” At this moment, Huo Yu was also getting beaten by a few tentacles, knocking onto the stone wall hardly before landing onto the ground.

“Huo Yu, are you alright!” Huo Yu was Cheng Yu’s first pet and his first companion. He hoped nothing would happen to Huo Yu.

“Master, I’m fine. However, this thing is too powerful. I am not able to compete with it. I can only rely on master,” Huo Yu crawled up from the ground, communicating with Cheng Yu using spiritual sense.

“But I am unable to rid myself of this situation. I can’t possibly attack!” Cheng Yu also knew this fact but he couldn’t rid himself of this situation. Regardless, he couldn’t allow Tian Xue and Tian Xing to die.

“Master, you can place them inside the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, just like me,” Huo Yu stated.
