Chapter 301 - Stuck Here? (1/2)

Wherever his thoughts were, the sword was there. The scarlet sword instantly punctured the man’s head as it flew out of Zhang Che’s brow.

In the next moment, the man’s figure suddenly turned into a cloud of ash. Afterwards, a black silhouette emerged and flew to the skies above the forest, turning into a fierce devilish face looking down at Zhang Che. It hissed shrewdly, “Damn it, how did you know!?”

Zhang Che’s expression was calm. He pointed at the scarlet sword hovering at his side, saying, “I didn’t notice it. It did.”

-Or rather, they did!-

Just as Zhang Che entered this strange dimension, the two swords in his spiritual sea started trembling violently again, especially at the moment when this man showed himself. The two swords almost went out of control and shot out. How could he possibly not know what was going on then?

What added to Zhang Che’s suspicions towards this man was that after he entered this dimension, he realized he couldn’t help but think of the secret plane, as well as everything regarding other beastmasters.

Although this seemed normal, Zhang Che kept feeling as if something was guiding his thoughts in that direction.

Not only that, the timing of the sea beast’s appearance at the beginning was also a little too much of a coincidence.

What made Zhang Che absolutely certain about all this in the end was what that man said.

He claimed that he traded his spatial storage card with another beastmaster for a weak subdued beast and was waiting for the gateway to open.

However, Zhang Che, who had sufficient understanding towards humanity, knew that if some other beastmasters had really gotten their hands on this man’s spatial storage card, how could they possibly leave him alive?

“Hehehehe, so what if you realized it. Do you think you can kill me?” that black devilish face laughed evilly, emitting a heavy air of resentment. “I have to admit that your luck is very good, to actually obtain a fragment of the Spiritual Sword in these ruins. But, do you think you can kill me with just a fragment?”

After saying that, the devilish face displayed its ferocity and headed straight towards Zhang Che.

A white streak of light shot out from between Zhang Che’s brow. He didn’t attempt to control the white sword. Not only that, he even gave up his control over the scarlet sword.

He could vaguely tell that the reason why the two swords were trembling so violently was because they wanted to take action themselves!

Indeed, after giving up his control over the two swords, they instantly turned into streaks of light and shot towards the ferocious devilish face together.

When he saw the white sword suddenly appearing, the devilish face revealed a look of disbelief.

“How is this possible? How could you have found two Spiritual Sword fragments!?”

He immediately gave up on charging towards Zhang Che, making a sharp turn in the air, trying to fly away. However, the two swords had become a single entity, slashing at it in the form of a helix-shaped scarlet and white sword light.

A sharp howl rang out. The black face shattered into tiny pieces.

A burst of scarlet and white light shone in the sky, like the sun shining on residual snow, instantly melting the collapsed black shadow.

“Hahahaha, I’m finally free after being trapped for countless years… Hehehehe, a day will come when the demon lord reopens the gate to the spiritual realm…”

The devilish face scattered, but Zhang Che’s expression turned extremely ugly.

-Trapped for countless years?-

He understood a little of that. The devilish face said that the secret plane was ruins, and could be understood as an abandoned place. He was trapped here forever, unable to get away.

To that end, could it be interpreted that all the creatures in the secret planes were creatures trapped in these ruins, or their descendants?
