There is indeed an exit ahead. Yun Lu is indeed able to control the third floor’s restriction!

Yun Lu’s statement helped Jiang Yi confirmed two things, but he had even more doubts. How was Yun Lu able to control the third floor’s restriction with his measly strength?

Impossible!

Jiang Yi quickly denied it. If Yun Lu was able to control the restrictions in the forbidden ground, he and He Lao would have already died a long time ago. Yun Lu wouldn’t have to make an effort to release the sorcery with the restrictions or maneuver the demonic beasts to kill him.

It will be all up to your capability if you can make it!

This statement made Jiang Yi even more doubtful. The canyon ahead was nothing but flatlands and didn’t seem to be dangerous. He could subtly see the teleportation array’s light spot ahead, which meant that the teleportation array was just a few tens of kilometers away. If it was only such a short distance, it would take Jiang Yi just a few instant shifts to reach it. If Yun Lu knew that Jiang Yi had such abilities, why was he so determined that Jiang Yi wouldn’t be able to make it?

Jiang Yi stopped thinking since he couldn’t figure out the answer. The demonic beasts were catching up from behind, and he didn’t dare to pause for too long. He immediately advanced forward, but this time, he moved with a slower speed as he was afraid there might be a formidable restriction that could eliminate him immediately.

“Chu-Chu!”

That black giant avian continued to shoot down steel feathers, which helped Jiang Yi to scout the road ahead and also killed the demonic beasts that caught up from behind.

Thirty meters, one hundred meters… three hundred meters!

As Jiang Yi sprinted, he felt very safe and didn’t encounter any danger. The suspicion in his heart grew intense as he suspected that Yun Lu was bluffing him.

Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!

After Jiang Yi took a few more steps and completely entered the canyon, something strange happened.

The surface of the canyon ahead burst opened while creatures with strange shapes burst through the surface. These creatures didn’t look like demonic beasts, for they had heads of a human while their bodies were like an ape. Their backs were arched, and their bodies were covered in black scales. All their limbs had razor-sharp claws, their backs had a row of spikes, from their mouths came out tusks, and they sported blood red eyes. These creatures looked like devils from hell, and most importantly… Jiang Yi couldn’t feel any presence of life from them.

Pong! Pong! Pong!

This step that Jiang Yi took was like an ignition of the fuse, causing large explosions ahead from where countless red-eyed creatures burst out. These creatures weren’t large in size, but it gave Jiang Yi the feeling that it wasn’t inferior to tier-three high-grade demonic beasts.

“There are at least tens of thousands of them, right?”

Jiang Yi looked from far away while these red-eyed creatures burst out from the ground. He felt alarmed in his heart, and if anyone else saw this scene, they would probably be terror-stricken, right?

“Hur!”

He didn’t really mind it. There might be a lot of creatures, but the exit was just a few kilometers away, and he could directly instant-shift over. He had the Massacre Intent, Earth Fire, and the ability to instant-shift; and so he wasn’t afraid of entrapment. These red-eyed creatures weren’t enough to frighten him.

“Ku-Ku!”

The creatures were all screaming with blood-curdling voices while they all launched themselves towards Jiang Yi with extremely fast speed. Their speed wasn’t inferior to the Zouwu Beast and took just a few blinks of the eye to arrive in front of Jiang Yi.

“Howl-Howl!””Chu-Chu!””Wu-Wu!”

The strange thing was when Jiang Yi was completely in the canyon, those demonic beasts retreated with fear when those strange creatures appeared. Even that giant avian in the sky hovered a bit before returning to the forest. It seemed like this canyon was a place of death, and those who entered was certainly going to perish.

“Eh?”

When the red-eyed creatures rushed over with rapid speed and were within a few hundred meters from Jiang Yi, his expression finally changed. These creatures’ speed didn’t decrease at all, and his Massacre Intent had completely no effects against them!

“That’s right… these creatures don’t have any life. They are puppets; they are zombie beasts! Since they are inanimate, how could they be affected by killing aura?”

Jiang Yi quickly realized it while the Fire Dragon Sword in his hand lit up, shooting out two fire dragons which crashed into the two red-eyed creature at the front.

Pong! Pong!

As expected by Jiang Yi, the two red-eyed creatures were instantly blasted off, crashing into two other creatures behind them. The scales on the creatures burst apart while one of the creatures’ arms was severed by the blast, the wound oozing with jet-black blood. They immediately came back up and rushed at Jiang Yi in a frenzy. These were zombie beasts which had lost all sensation and awareness of pain.

“Trouble!”

As Jiang Yi was prepared to lift his leg and retreat, he was terrified when he noticed… his leg was suddenly heavier by a hundred folds. His speed was also decreased by a hundred folds—as though he had become a second- or third-stage Cast Tripod Realm martial artist.

“God damn it. What kind of wicked sorcery is this? Why are my legs so heavy?”

Jiang Yi panicked as he immediately executed the Soul-Devouring Shifting Art and wanted to shift out of the canyon. He was even more terrified when his body flashed but was frozen in the same place. He instant-shifted back to the same place.

“Wicked!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were wide and round. This was the first time he witnessed such a strange situation, and this Witch God was indeed so powerful that everything went against the laws of heaven. He was actually able to create such a wicked restriction and sorcery. Jiang Yi had witnessed the restriction that was created by the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons, and it was pale in comparison to the Witch God’s restriction.

“He Lao, come out and save my life!”

Jiang Yi had to take out the Green Clear Vase, released He Lao, and sought for his assistance.

He was at wit’s end. The exit might just be a few kilometers away, but his current slow speed and limitless red-eyed creatures. If he wanted to kill a blood path out, he would need several days to do it. Wouldn’t he be overly exhausted by then?

In fact, he had another trump which was the Earth Fire. These red-eyed creatures might not fear death and had powerful defenses, but the Earth Fire would still be able to incinerate them easily. The Earth Fire left in the Fire Spirit Pearl was too little, and with his current speed, he might need at least half a day. By then, his Earth Fire would have already run out.

“This…”

After He Lao came out, he was shocked by the scene. He conveniently released a dao pattern attack, which blasted a group of creatures away. He then quickly communicated with Jiang Yi and tried out the things that Jiang Yi said.

Soon enough, He Lao also revealed this fearful look on his face: his speed was just slightly faster than Jiang Yi. Their attacks weren’t limited, but their legs felt as though they weighed five hundred kilograms, which made movement extremely difficult.

“Young Master Yi, retreat out of the canyon first. You are too tired and need some rest!”

He Lao made a prompt decision and constantly released the dao pattern attack. Every time the heaven artifact brandished, it would release hundreds of blade light, repelling groups of red-eyed creatures.

“Not good. He Lao! We can’t get out of this canyon!”

Jiang Yi was in despair. When he wanted to retreat out of the canyon, there was a translucent restriction that suddenly lit up at the entrance of the canyon. His body crashed into it directly, and even after he executed a palm strike on it, there wasn’t even a hint of trembling on the restriction. It was abnormally powerful. The two of them… had no way to retreat.

“Then we have to kill out a blood path!”

He Lao revealed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, “Young Master Yi. Follow behind me and rest for a bit. There are only a few kilometers away. Old He will give up his life just to send you out of the exit.”

“Kill!”

Jiang Yi had this sinister expression on his face, too. Since there was no way to retreat, he would have a blood battle to the end.
