Chapter 1285

The blade gleam came very quickly, out of everyone's expectations. Moreover, it was very powerful. Wu Xie only had time to let out a cry of surprise.

"Pu."

Wu Xie was killed in one slash, but the blade gleam's power did not weaken. It continued to move forward in a straight line.

"Be careful."

Shang Guan Hong's body released a green light. She was the blade gleam's second target. Zi Chen shouted, but it was too late to save her.

Seeing that the blade gleam was about to reach Shang Guan Hong, her body began to release a green light, forming a bright light shield. On the surface of the light shield, mysterious patterns appeared.

However, no one could be sure that such a defense could block this sudden blade gleam.

Just as the blade gleam was about to hit Shang Guan Hong, a yellow ball suddenly appeared in front of Shang Guan Hong at lightning speed.

"Clang."

When the saber light struck the sphere, a loud clanging sound was heard. Energy ripples spread out in all directions with the point of contact between the two.

"Pu."

The ball could only block for three breaths of time. It was unable to withstand this powerful force and was smashed backwards.

Shang Guan Hong was hit by the ball and flew backwards, coughing up blood.

However, the blade gleam's power was completely neutralized. Then, it turned into a ray of light and flew backwards.

"Blade Golden-Eyed Beast, Scale Shield Flame Foal."

Zi Chen, who was rushing over, suddenly let out a strange cry.

The flying blade gleam finally turned into a small beast. It looked very much like the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast. However, that yellow ball also looked very much like the Scale Shield Flame Foal.

Zi Chen turned back and ran towards Shang Guan Hong to check on her injuries.

Dong Qing also flew towards Shang Guan Hong. As for the undying Wu Xie, no one paid any attention to him.

This was because everyone was already used to his immortality.

Shang Guan Hong's face was a little pale. Fortunately, she did not suffer any internal injuries. She only suffered from the impact of the force. She would be fine after some adjustment.

"This is the Scale Shield Flame Foal." Zi Chen looked at the ball-like little beast beside Dong Qing and asked.

Dong Qing shook his head, his tone heavy as he said, "No, this is just a Shield Armor Beast, a special type of beast. However, it's not as strong as the Scale Shield Flame Foal. However, that was a Blade Golden Eyes Beast. If it was a full power attack just now, the Shield Armor Beast would not have been able to block it."

Zi Chen nodded upon hearing this.

Wu Xie activated his Undying Body, and his figure appeared once again. After that, he complained, "Why am I always the unlucky one? That saber light just now was so terrifying."

Huan Long walked over with a look of lingering fear on his face. Everyone gathered together once more.

After the saber light disappeared, it did not attack again. There was a pitch-black area in front of them, which seemed to be a passage leading to somewhere.

"What should we do? Who can stop a Bladed Golden-Eyed Beast?"

After knowing the nature of that blade, Wu Xie's expression turned bitter.

Man Shi's defense was very strong, but his realm was not high. He might be able to block one or two slashes, but definitely not three.

There was no need to talk about the others. For a moment, everyone who had no idea what to do could only look at Zi Chen.

Along the way, they had already gotten used to asking for Zi Chen's opinion when they were helpless.

"Since we're already here, we can't retreat. We can only advance." Zi Chen glanced at Huan Long, then looked at everyone and said.

"Advance? How do we advance?" Everyone was still uncertain.

The Bladed Golden-Eyed Beast's attack was too strong. It was even stronger than the previous two existences they had encountered. This was the source of their uncertainty.

This was because once they were hit, they, who did not have the Undying Body, would die.

Zi Chen looked forward again. He seemed to see the Bladed Golden-Eyed Beast in a black hole. It was hiding in the dark, waiting for him to advance.

After a moment of silence, Zi Chen looked at Shangguan Hong and said, "Your methods are useless against the Bladed Golden-Eyed Beast. You don't have to go later."

Shangguan Hong nodded. At the same time, she looked at Zi Chen with an apologetic gaze.

"What about me?" Without waiting for Zi Chen to speak, Wu Xie asked again.

Zi Chen looked at Wu Xie and smiled faintly, saying, "You're our main force. You have to go."

Wu Xie's face immediately fell. He looked at Zi Chen with resentment.

Zi Chen ignored Wu Xie and looked at Dong Qing, saying, "I want to know how many of these Shield-Armor Beasts you have."

Under the mask, Zi Chen could clearly see Dong Qing's eyes twitch a few times. Then, Dong Qing opened her mouth and said, "Beasts of this level are very special. Naturally, they're also very difficult to find. We're already very lucky to be able to find one Shield-Armor Beast."

One could hear the reluctance in Dong Qing's voice.

This was the first time she had shown such emotions towards a beast.

"One is fine, but can you make it listen to me?" Zi Chen asked.

"What do you mean?" Dong Qing looked at Zi Chen.

"If it can listen to me, then you don't have to go in. After all, it's very dangerous inside." Zi Chen said.

This time, Dong Qing hesitated for a long time. Finally, she tapped her forehead and a soul remembrance floated towards Zi Chen.

This soul remembrance merged with Zi Chen. In an instant, a strange feeling arose in Zi Chen's heart. Moreover, when he looked at Dong Qing, he felt as relaxed as looking inside himself. Even the face under the mask could be seen by Zi Chen if he wanted to.

Moreover, Zi Chen could clearly feel the strange feeling coming from the other party's soul remembrance. At this moment, Dong Qing's face turned red, all the way to her ears.

This soul remembrance allowed the two of them to have some kind of connection, but it was one-sided. Zi Chen was also able to control the Shield-Armor Beast because of this.

Zi Chen moved his gaze away from Dong Qing and looked at Man Shi, saying, "As for whether you go in or not, I can't make the decision. It's all up to you."

Wu Xie's safety didn't need to be guaranteed. His chances of survival were even higher than Zi Chen's. As for the Shield-Armor Beast, because it was known for its defense, it could also hold on for one or two days. Even if it died in battle, the loss would be less than one person dying. This was something that Zi Chen could decide.

However, when it came to Man Shi, Zi Chen couldn't casually decide his life or death.

Man Shi took a deep breath and said, "You've already gone in. If I don't go in, am I still a man?"

"Alright, if you feel that you can't win, immediately withdraw." Zi Chen gave his final order.

Man Shi nodded.

Wu Xie was somewhat unwilling, but it wasn't the right time to act up. Moreover, Huan Long had clearly stated that once they successfully entered, they would receive a huge reward.

Although Huan Long concealed his emotions extremely well, Zi Chen could still sense the excitement in his expression. Moreover, with his extremely sharp senses, he could sense that Huan Long's emotions were fluctuating greatly.

Zi Chen guessed that this might be the final danger. After passing through here, they would arrive at their destination.

Under Zi Chen's signal, Wu Xie walked in front, but he walked very slowly.

"If you stick your head out, you'll still be stabbed. It's a matter of one stab. You should hurry up," Zi Chen said.

Wu Xie glared fiercely at Zi Chen and charged forward with a tap of his foot.

"Let's go."

Zi Chen looked at the Shield-Armor Beast. The latter turned into a round ball and followed Wu Xie.

A black saber appeared in Zi Chen's hand. At the same time, a battle armor appeared on his body. The spirit of the Scaled Shield Flame Foal was awakened by Zi Chen.

Man Shi stayed at the back.

"Ah!"

Wu Xie shouted and charged into the passage.

Afterward, the Shield-Armor Beast, Zi Chen, and Man Shi also followed.

The three of them waited nervously outside. However, they didn't hear any sounds of battle during this period, which made them very puzzled.

However, the power of the saber light was still vivid in their minds. They didn't dare to rashly go forward.

However, after waiting for a while, they still didn't hear any sounds of battle. This made the two of them puzzled.

"How is it?" Shang Guan Hong asked.

She was clearly asking Dong Qing because she believed that Dong Qing could sense the situation inside. After all, Zi Chen had a strand of her soul remembrance. Ever since she gave her soul remembrance to Zi Chen, her emotions had become extremely unstable.

The special feelings of a woman made Shang Guan Hong feel that this wasn't a good sign.

"There doesn't seem to be any danger," Dong Qing tried his best to control his emotions and said.

"No danger? How is that possible?" Shang Guan Hong didn't believe it. Huan Long was also very puzzled.

"I don't know the details, but until now, Zi Chen hasn't made a move. However … he hasn't moved either." Dong Qing wasn't too sure.

"He hasn't moved or moved." Shang Guan Hong's expression suddenly changed. She said, "Not good. Could he be trapped?"

Saying so, she was about to go forward.

"What are you doing?" Huan Long stopped her.

"Zi Chen is definitely in danger. I'm going to save him," Shang Guan Hong said.

"Don't you know how dangerous the Blade Golden Eye Beast is?" Huan Long asked.

"Of course I know. Perhaps there are other dangers besides the Blade Golden Eye Beast. If I go in too late, I'm afraid I'll miss the best opportunity to save him," Shang Guan Hong said.

"You're going to die if you go in." Huan Long was still blocking the way.

"She's right. Perhaps Zi Chen and the others are in danger and need us to save them. As for the danger, we came here together on a mission. It's dangerous to begin with."

Saying so, Dong Qing also decisively went forward.

Shang Guan Hong flashed and chased after him.

Huan Long was very helpless, but he could only follow.

Right now, he was very angry because he wasn't sure what dangers there were inside. However, he very much hoped that the people who went in would die together with him.

That way, not only would he achieve his goal, but he would also obtain the two beauties.

Although Huan Long hadn't seen Dong Qing's true appearance, he could guess what Dong Qing looked like from her words just by listening to her a few times.

The two of them rushed in one after another. However, their nervous faces were filled with shock as they both looked forward.

Huan Long entered with a complicated expression, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was also stunned.

In front of him, Zi Chen's group and the Shield Armor Beast stood in a neat row, all of them looking forward.

And in front of them, stood a person.

It was a person wrapped in a black robe. His appearance was very similar to Dong Qing's, but he wasn't wearing a mask.

It was obvious that this was a thin man, but he was also a normal man.

He held a blade in his hand, and a soul shadow appeared on the blade. It was the Blade Golden-Eyed Beast. In front of him, an illusory object floated. It was a small beast that seemed to be surrounded by flames. Occasionally, it would turn into a shield.
