Ch 712: The Town In The Abyss
The Blood Cloud Vine’s tendrils were icy cold, like ordinary vines, but what was chilling was that the vines were covered in numerous blood vessels, pulsating with each breath.
Like human arms.
It’s hard to imagine this thing is actually an immortal treasure.
One wouldn’t know it was some kind of evil creature.
“Immortal treasures come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s not strange to have such a treasure,” Green Jade said, smiling at the Blood Cloud Vine.
Just as Li Hanzhou was marveling at how strange the Blood Cloud Vine was, a Karma Line wound itself around the vine.
“Discovered.”
Seeing the Karma Line, Li Hanzhou knew he had definitely been discovered by Bageru.
“Who dares steal my treasure!”
A earth-shattering voice charged forth, its sound waves alone swept across dozens of miles outside the city, causing sand and rocks to fly, and mountains and forests to be shattered by the impact.
Rumble!
Li Hanzhou’s Baoding Cave Heaven was shaken far away by the sound wave.
“What a loud voice.”
Li Hanzhou had truly experienced the meaning of a loud voice. If not for the Baoding Cave Heaven, that single roar would have caused him to bleed from all seven orifices.
“A Six-Star Demon, truly terrifying!”
Li Hanzhou said, looking at the scene of devastation outside.
His Divine Soul was currently strong, but his physical body was average, and probably couldn’t withstand such an impact.
“Here comes!”
The Demon City Lord’s eyes lit up. Having just heard Bageru’s voice, he knew Li Hanzhou had succeeded.
Since Bageru had lost the Blood Cloud Vine, in the Demon City Lord’s opinion, Bageru was surely doomed today!
“Whoosh!”
With a beat of his wings, space almost tore apart. The Demon City Lord’s figure, like a black light, soared into the air and shot out, standing in the ravaged world, his gaze filled with fighting spirit, rubbing his hands together as if waiting for Bageru to come and die.
“I knew it was you!”
Bageru’s body also instantly arrived outside the city.
When he saw the Demon City Lord, there was no surprise in his eyes, only anger: “Wu He, I guessed it was you, you’re truly persistent! But do you think that stealing my Blood Cloud Vine means you can defeat me?”
“Without the Blood Cloud Vine, what are you?”
The Demon City Lord sneered: “Today is your death day. Let’s settle the accounts of these past few hundred years!”
“Afraid I’m not?”
Murderous intent filled Bageru’s scarlet eyes, and the two figures instantly collided!
Both were Six-Star Demons.
Their strength was evenly matched.
The collision of their physical bodies created ripples in space. The two demons were now pummeling each other, each punch shattering mountains and rivers!
The battle was earth-shattering, obscuring the sun and moon.
The force of the impact was like the center of a storm, making it impossible for anyone to approach.
A cultivator like Li Hanzhou, if they were to get close, would be shattered by the Fist Wind in the air.
Their speed was extremely fast; their shadows were almost invisible, only the collision of two beams of light could be seen.
“Your strength has actually improved!”
Wu He’s voice came, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
“You didn’t think I’d stay put, did you!” Bageru sneered: “Even if you didn’t come looking for me, I was going to find you. Wu He, leave your head here today!”
“Presumptuous!”
The two’s Fist Momentum was like a bolt from the blue, constantly echoing.
But at this moment, Li Hanzhou didn’t have the time to watch their battle. While the two were fighting, Li Hanzhou had already driven the Baoding Cave Heaven, following the direction indicated by the Life-Seeking Mirror.
He needed to find a way to live during this time.
His contract with Wu He, the Demon City Lord, had ended. If Wu He turned against him, then everyone in the Yaohua Immortal Sect would be in danger.
And Wu He might not spare him either.
If it weren’t for the Baoding Cave Heaven, he would have been killed by Wu He long ago.
The farther the Baoding Cave Heaven flew, the more desolate Li Hanzhou felt the Immortal Tomb was.
“I haven’t seen any signs of people for a long time.”
Li Hanzhou looked outside from the Baoding Cave Heaven. Forget demons, even fierce beasts were becoming rarer.
Even the trees were pitifully few.
“What kind of place is this?”
The Life-Seeking Mirror continued to point the way, but Li Hanzhou still saw no hope of survival.
After flying for half a day more.
“What’s that?”
Li Hanzhou looked into the distance, finding there was no path ahead.
It was a boundless black abyss.
The gigantic abyss was bottomless. Li Hanzhou tried to probe it with his Divine Soul, but it was still empty, nothing there, as if it were pure nothingness.
As if a bottomless hole had appeared in this land.
“Is the vitality down there?”
Li Hanzhou looked at the abyss-like place, his heart pounding.
“Let’s give it a shot!”
Li Hanzhou knew he had no other choice.
So he directly drove the Baoding Cave Heaven into the abyss.
“Buzz!”
After entering the abyss, Li Hanzhou felt a fluctuation in Heaven and Earth. The next moment, the endless darkness faded, and he was greeted by a bright light, and the sound of a bustling crowd.
“Where am I?”
Li Hanzhou found the world had completely changed.
Before him was a small town.
He was standing at the entrance of the town.
Tall gatehouses, bustling crowds, and a lively atmosphere.
Not demons.
Humans.
The human world’s atmosphere was vividly displayed here.
People were selling steaming buns on the roadside, some selling oil cakes, blacksmiths hammering iron, children with pigtails chasing and playing, scholars sitting by the roadside reading, and beautiful young ladies choosing their favorite rouge and powder.
It looked so normal.
“Where did this take me?”
“Is this still the Immortal Tomb?”
Li Hanzhou came out of the Baoding Cave Heaven, feeling the breeze on his face, the air filled with fragrant smells.
“Hot buns!”
“Two cash each.”
“Freshly steamed buns!”
“Whose child is this? Don’t run around.”
Voices rose and fell.
The sunlight shone down, and Li Hanzhou felt a little dazed.
As he walked into the town and walked down the street, feeling the lively atmosphere, he didn’t know what was going on.
Why was there such a place in the abyss.
What was the abyss?
Li Hanzhou sensed the people around him; they were truly living people, at least he didn’t sense anything wrong.
“Little Brother Li.”
At that moment, a voice came.
Li Hanzhou vaguely felt that the voice was calling him, so he turned his head and saw that in a small tavern not far away, a middle-aged man was sitting by the window, holding a wine cup, looking at him with a smile.
