Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 50: Jump into the well

Views:

Dong Tianze's killing continues.

Pang Jian, holding the dragon-patterned spear, stared quietly at his every move at the foot of the mountain, trying to find the smallest flaw.

The scene of the Su and He family's followers being brutally murdered had no effect on Pang Jian. His heart was as cold and hard as a rock.

What he was thinking about at the moment was how to make an effective counterattack while saving his life when facing Dong Tianze.

Dong Tianze was obviously proficient in some kind of swift body movement. He moved as fast as lightning and like a ghost, so fast that it was hard to keep up.

When fighting him in an open area, the advantage of numbers is not evident, and he can defeat them one by one.

He must be confined to a narrow space!

"Be careful, both of you!"

When Pang Jian was thinking calmly, Zhou Qingchen suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Dong Tianze, I still have to deal with him!"

A long sword shining with cold light suddenly appeared from the silver ring under his sleeve, and Zhou Qingchen rushed straight towards the low mountain with the long sword in hand!

The blade of the long sword was not sharp and had many gaps on it, but when Zhou Qingchen held it in his hand, he felt a heavy feeling as if it were a mountain.

"A long sword made of cold iron. Cold iron, like black gold, is also a high-grade gold."

Luo Hongyan commented, looking at Zhou Qingchen holding a knife, and said with a strange look in her eyes: "He has a spiritual device that can store things. In the Fourth Realm, there should be very few people who can possess storage objects."

After a pause, she continued, "Dong Tianze doesn't want to consider Zhou Qingchen as his first opponent because Zhou Qingchen, like him, has also entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

"He was worried that he would get into a fight with Zhou Qingchen, so we and Han Duping would cooperate and attack him from a distance."

"So he avoided Zhou Qingchen first, and used his swiftness to kill the weakest person first!"

Luo Hongyan had seen through Dong Tianze's intentions long ago. She pursed her crystal-clear lips and said, "You used the bamboo flute to irritate him. Do you want us to deal with him first? As long as we entangle him, and with the cooperation of Han Duping in the distance, it will be difficult for him to break free from the vortex."

"But he actually regained his composure quickly by biting the woman, and did not do anything stupid impulsively."

Luo Hongyan, the calmest person on the field, watched the fight and commented. She felt that she had seen through Pang Jian's intention.

Seeing Pang Jian remained silent, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "You usually look cold and indifferent, but I didn't expect that you are actually quite arrogant in your bones."

"I didn't think too much about it, I just don't like him." Pang Jian said.

According to Dong Tianze, anyone who obtains a drop of phoenix marrow will eventually reach the island in the center of the lake and fight to the death.

Pang Jian obtained more than one drop of phoenix marrow.

Since they are destined to fight to the death, he will of course rack his brains to think about how to eliminate the threat of Dong Tianze.

He would find a way to kill anyone who might threaten his life, so as to avoid any future trouble.

Soon, he realized that Zhou Qingchen was much slower than Dong Tianze.

After reaching the low hill, Zhou Qingchen tore off the breastplate on his chest and threw it to Han Duping, shouting, "Old Han, keep it to save your life!"

Only then did he rush towards Dong Tianze.

At this moment, Dong Tianze was fighting one against two, Su Yuntian and He Rong with bare hands and covered in blood.

The black gold dagger named Ghost Chant whistled in the air like a celestial spirit tower, capturing souls and ghosts, including many "spiritual evil spirits".

The more and stronger the spiritual weapon ghost chants, the greater its own power will be.

Seeing Zhou Qingchen coming with a momentum as strong as a mountain, Dong Tianze grinned strangely, and the ghost chant in the air fell with a "swoosh" and flew directly over Zhou Qingchen's head.

Many souls and ghosts that were sucked into the holes in the blade by the ghost chant flew out from the holes one after another and surrounded Zhou Qingchen like a black tortoise.

Zhou Qingchen was trapped in the quagmire of ghosts, with struggle and pain in his eyes, and he tried his best to resist the ghosts' infection of his soul.

"It seems that Dong Tianze avoided Zhou Qingchen in the first wave, and also had the idea of using ghost chanting to capture ghosts. The more ghosts he gathers, the more powerful the weapon will be."

Luo Hongyan watched silently, staring coldly at the air, feeling the power of the ghost chant.

"You don't have to worry too much. Zhou Qingchen is no pushover. He should be able to hold on. After all, that ghost chant is not the soul formation in the Tianling Pagoda. It's actually not that scary."

As she spoke, she grabbed Pang Jian and pulled him towards the pit.

"Zhou Qingchen won't be in any danger for a while. Dong Tianze is just using the artifact to restrain him so that he can take the opportunity to kill others."

She roughly judged the true power of the ghost chant.

Pang Jian, whose body was originally facing the direction of the low mountain, was suddenly pulled by her to look back. He turned his head and saw a familiar "spirit" floating towards the well.

"Romon!"

Shangguan Qin, who was sobbing, also saw Luo Meng, who had transformed into a "spiritual evil spirit", reappear. She cried and called out: "Luo Meng! Are you here to save me?"

"Spiritual Evil" Luo Meng ignored her and fell directly into the well where Dong Tianze left, disappearing in an instant.

Shangguan Qin stood there in a daze with blood on her face, as if she couldn't accept that Luo Meng, who had always been obedient to her, actually ignored her.

After a moment, she suddenly screamed crazily: "You damned man, seeing that I have lost my beauty, even you have stayed away from me! Yes, I am very ugly now, and you have begun to dislike me..."

She held her face and accidentally saw the blood oozing from between her fingers. She hurriedly covered her entire face.

She buried her head in the grass, sobbing miserably, and never dared to look up to see anyone again.

"Luo Meng died a long time ago. Ouyang Duanhai, whom you always thought about and longed to see again, also died in the Black Water Pond."

Luo Hongyan came over slowly and wanted to add insult to injury by saying a few sarcastic words, but when she saw that she was about to go crazy, she stopped talking.

Hearing that even Ouyang Duanhai was dead, Shangguan Qin instantly lost all hope. She lay in the bushes like a lost soul, muttering in a low voice: "Yes, it's all my fault. I killed my Duanhai. Duanlang, I have failed you all my life. I am so sorry..."

In her heart, Ouyang Duanhai, who is not her husband in name but husband in reality, is the only man in her life.

"The witch who appeared in the pile of rocks is also on the island!" Pang Jian reminded softly.

Luo Hongyan paused, rolled her eyes at him, and snorted, "Isn't that better? Dong Tianze is so difficult to deal with, Zhou Qingchen alone may not be able to stop him. With that woman messing with the situation, our chances of winning will be better."

"No, no, the witch can control the spiritual evil. I think the witch is more difficult to deal with than Dong Tianze." Pang Jian said seriously.

Being called a "witch" by him all the time, Luo Hongyan was furious and said coldly: "She didn't kill you or your friends, so don't follow others and call her a witch!"

Zhou Qingchen called him that, and Han Duping also called him that. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to call him that

"There is a black turtle's blood in the well."

Without waiting for Pang Jian to think deeply, Luo Hongyan, who had pulled him to the pit, said, "The black tortoise died after the phoenix bone pierced its heart. The phoenix marrow that was condensed from the black tortoise's flesh and blood should have been obtained by Dong Tianze."

"The Black Turtle is far more powerful than the Dark Anaconda of the Black Water Pond. The production of one drop of Phoenix marrow does not require all of its blood and flesh essence."

"Dong Tianze used the remaining black turtle blood essence to perform the bone-cutting and marrow-cleansing stage of the marrow-cleansing realm."

Through the diving "Spiritual Evil" Luo Meng, Luo Hongyan had already seen the situation at the bottom of the well and immediately told Pang Jian.

"Black Turtle? The giant python in the Black Water Pond is called the Dark Anaconda..." Pang Jian was stunned and asked, "The one that just appeared in the sky?"

"Well, it is the soul of the black turtle!"

Luo Hongyan nodded and continued, "In fact, the entire island in the middle of the lake is the back of the black turtle! If you dive deeper, you will see the black turtle standing on all fours, carrying the island on its back."

Pang Jian was shocked: "Is the black turtle this big?"

"This black turtle is still relatively small. It just turned such a small island into a paradise."

Luo Hongyan knew the inside story. She glanced at the dark sky and sighed, "Legend has it that there is a huge black turtle that carries a piece of land as big as Beiqi under your feet and travels in the three worlds above."

"On the back of the black turtle, the spiritual energy of the land is extremely rich. It is a spiritual place where one can establish a sect."

“I don’t know how many powerful people who want to build a sect are secretly searching for the black turtle, hoping to tame it and use the land on its back to build their own sect’s holy land.”

Pang Jian became more and more shocked.

He had been living in the Cenji Mountains and Linshan Town since he was a child, and he had never left the continent called Beiqi under his feet.

It was hard for him to imagine that there was a black tortoise that could carry such a vast universe and travel among the three worlds above.

"Dong Tianze and Ouyang Duanhai are different. Although they both obtained a drop of Phoenix marrow, Ouyang Duanhai's heart was devoured by the Phoenix marrow. However, Dong Tianze was able to maintain his own spiritual intelligence, which shows that he has refined the Phoenix marrow. As both are Heavenly Phoenix Guards, this Dong Tianze is much more terrifying!"

Luo Hongyan looked a little worried as she watched Dong Tianze kill He Rong and Su Yuntian with his bare hands.

He Rong has always had a hidden hostility towards her. She can feel it, but she naturally doesn't care.

The deaths of He Rong and Su Yuntian did not cause any ripples in her heart. This was something she had expected.

She just didn't expect it so soon.

Amid Su Meng's crying, Han Duping activated the heart-protection mirror thrown by Zhou Qingchen, and saw a towering red mountain floating above him and Su Meng's heads.

The peak that symbolizes Red Mountain released a deep red light, enveloping the two of them.

Dong Tianze, who had smashed He Rong's eyes, wiped the blood off his fist with his clothes, then stood up and walked towards him and Su Meng.

Han Duping quickly wrapped himself up into a silver ball again, and shouted to Su Meng from inside, "Girl, you and I are both at the Tongmai realm, I don't have the ability to protect you. I will roll down the mountain later, and I can't care about you that much."

Zhou Qingchen's heart-protecting mirror is in his hand. Wherever he rolls, the red mountain that protects him will be there.

The red mountain floating above his head can help him block some attacks created by spiritual power. He can curl up into a ball like a hedgehog and can also block Dong Tianze who does not have the Ghost Chant in his hand.

He said so much to remind Su Meng to escape down the mountain with him later, so that Hongshan could help Su Meng block the attack.

Seeing her father being brutally murdered, Su Meng didn't care what he said. Because of Su Yuntian's death, this girl even pretended to rush out from under the cover of the red mountain.

Han Duping stretched out his hand from the ball, grabbed her, and said angrily: "Don't you think dying is not fast enough?"

"Pang Jian, aren't you going to save her?"

Luo Hongyan, who was at the foot of the mountain, told the story of the situation at the bottom of the well. She looked at the young man beside her with a strange look and said, "That little girl is quite cute and not annoying at all. She is about to be killed by Dong Tianze. Why don't you go and give her a hand?"

Pang Jian didn't say anything, but suddenly jumped into the pit that Dong Tianze stepped into.

Luo Hongyan was stunned immediately.

On the other side, Dong Tianze, who was walking towards Su Meng and Han Duping, suddenly stopped on the way!

He was closely following the situation on the entire island, and he was the first to notice Pang Jian's sudden jump into the well.

His face was gloomy as he looked at Han Duping who had turned himself into a silver ball, the deep red suspended mountain, and Zhou Qingchen who was temporarily restrained by the ghost chant.

After a struggle between his conscience and his desires, he growled, "You are courting death over and over again!"

“Whoosh!”

He stomped his feet into the sky, and like a hawk hunting its prey, he swooped down from the low hill and headed straight for the well below.

He didn't even look at Luo Hongyan by the well, or Shangguan Qin who looked like she had lost her soul.

In his eyes, the two women were insignificant little characters. It didn't matter whether he killed them early or late. They wouldn't take up much of his time.

"Damn you brat!"

Luo Hongyan seemed unaware of Dong Tianze's rapid approach. She angrily approached the wellhead and cursed below: "You keep provoking him. Don't you know that you will kill me too?"

"I want you to come down too." Pang Jian shouted from below.

"You want me to come down too? Who told you that I was going to fight him to the death? What does the life and death of the Su and He families, and the life and death of Zhou kid, have to do with me?"

While cursing, Luo Hongyan moved aside and did not try to stop Dong Tianze from falling into the well.

"Bang!"

Dong Tianze, who jumped into the well like Pang Jian, felt like he was hitting something hard on him. He felt dizzy and was thrown out.
