Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 627 - Coughing Blood
Zhang En's eyes narrowed and darkened.
Different from before, the fluctuations this time around were much stronger, confirming his conjecture that the altar seal had loosened.
SWOOSSHHH!!!
Zhang En drove as fast as he could towards the source of the energy fluctuation.
A thousand meters below the surface of the lake, Zhang En finally reached the bottom of the lake. Then, he drilled deep into the earth.
As deep as a thousand meters of depth again, he finally arrived at a cave chamber.
As he stepped into the cave, a gigantic demonic Qi wave was spinning violently from all directions.
Seeing this, the unpleasant feeling in Zhang En's heart increased. He hesitated for a moment before flying towards the source of the demon qi.
Although the seal had loosened and things had become more dangerous, he did not have much time to think too much.
"Hopefully the seal is still not too open." Zhang En thought to himself.
The closer he got to the source of the demon qi, the denser and ferocious the qi he had formed. At this moment, the demon qi was so dense that it actually formed a collection of clouds.
Each group of clouds contained an incredible amount of energy, enough to kill an intermediate stage One Star Golden God.
Watching the expanse of floating grey clouds, Zhang En's facial expression darkened.
"This place must seal the head portion of the Thousand Soul King!" Thinking of this, the unpleasant feeling in Zhang En's heart grew stronger.
The head section of the Thousand Soul King was definitely the most powerful among the other sealed body parts. Moreover, judging from the signs around him, from the moment he stepped into the cave until now, his seal was increasingly loosened.
Zhang En became unsure and stopped flying.
With the news that his rival Long Mingzhi had broken through to the land of the Golden God Realm, Zhang En needed to gain capable strength to have full confidence in killing Long Mingzhi during the upcoming battle.
After struggling thinking for some time, Zhang En suddenly shot forward like an arrow towards the cave altar.
'Damn it! If I die in this place, let me die. A warrior will never give up' Zhang En murmured as he sped.
To date, he had experienced many dangers as he sought to increase his strength, he already had many life experiences.
Abstinence determination shone in the depths of Zhang En's eyes as he calmed down.
Immediately, he saw the altar in front, and yet, this altar was at least double the two altars he had seen before. Above and in the middle of the sealing formation, there was a golden-haired giant head.
Zhang En was unable to describe in words what he felt as he stared at the head of the golden-haired giant beast.
The sealing formation on the altar flickered. The white symbol flew into the air, forming numerous balls of light that revolved around the head of the golden-haired giant beast, holding it back. While the golden-haired head was trying to break the sealing formation, understandable high-pitched sounds came from its large mouth.
Zhang En immediately realized that the sealing formation had become unstable after being attacked by this golden-haired giant head, the seal light had grown dimmer. This was a sign that the sealing formation was about to collapse, if things continued in this way, it would not be long before the sealing formation was destroyed.
At that time, the head of the ancient and strongest Thousand Soul King of his time would regain his freedom!
Zhang En felt apprehensive, but was also pleased. He was pleased that this head still had not freed itself, and he was alarmed by its overwhelming destructive power that far exceeded his expectations. Every time the giant head attacked the sealing formation, its strength was about the same as that of a Two-Star Golden God.
'This may be my toughest fight to obtain the relics and strength of the Thousand Soul King.' Mumbled Zhang En.
Right at this moment, that head stopped attacking the sealing formation. Two bloody lights shot out from his eyes, reaching Zhang En in an instant.
YUSHHH!!!
It happened so quickly that Zhang En had no time to react.
In less than a second, Zhang En slightly turned his shoulders to the side, avoiding the two bloody lights. Their terrifying strength caused the space around them to tremble, forming two lines similar to the red river in the sea of demonic qi clouds.
Although it was almost close to being hit, Zhang En managed to dodge the surprise attack. Even so, he felt cold sweat drenching his back.
Had he dodged slower, he would have been severely injured by now. The attack was equivalent to two intermediate-stage Two-star Gold God experts attacking at the same time.
Still, the protective barrier of the two forces formed from Zhang En's divine flame trembled violently, affected by the power of those two bloody lights
“Eh?” Watching the young man completely dodge his attack, the soul consciousness that had been left behind by the head section of the Thousand Soul King exclaimed with, feeling a little unexpected.
“Human boy, a mere Heavenly God realm like you actually managed to dodge my attack.” The eyes of the Thousand Soul King glittered, looking excited, "Your talent surpassed me when I was young like you"
"Sadly, you were destined to die here today and be my first sacrifice, helping me to get out of this damn altar! Ha Ha Ha.!" The laughter of the Thousand Soul King resounded. His red eyes shone with a cruel joy.
Suddenly, his laughter turned into a roar that shook the entire space.
RUMBLEEE!!!
The sound waves furrowed every inch of space as they passed by, nowhere could Zhang En avoid or hide this time around.
Destroying power surged and gathered, drowning Zhang En in it.
Blood vessels appeared on his forehead as he activated every last strand of divine Qi essence power from his dantian to form a thick protective barrier above himself. At the same time, the Demonic God Dragon qi came out from his body, turning that cave area into the power realm of the Demonic God Dragon.
Right at this moment, Zhang En felt the air being forced out of his lungs, a destructive force smashing into him as if an ancient heavenly mountain had fallen on his chest.
DUAAARR!!!
The next instant, he was sent flying into the air like a broken kite. His body made a huge arch in the air, falling several hundred meters away.
BOOOM!!!!
Great vibrations running through the ground.
Zhang En felt as if his body was about to be smashed to pieces, this was the first time he felt this way since he had fought against an expert stronger than him.
"Gurghhh!" Zhang En struggled to stand up, an uncontrollable warm liquid was rushing over and he spewed out a mouthful of blood.
“Oh, you're still not dead ?! The head of the Thousand Soul King who saw that Zhang En was still alive and stood up was quite shocked.
The power of his attack just now could injure an early two-star Golden God. What was even more shocking was that his demonic qi was dissolved by the two fire forces on the surface of Zhang En's skin, blocking his demonic qi from entering Zhang En's body.
"Could it be two ancient divine flames?!"The Thousand Soul King.
