Chapter 503

"It's that stone statue?!" Elder Hiroshi's words made Zi Chen's eyes light up.

The stone statue was obtained from the Butcher's Burial Ground. Zi Chen had planned to use it in the Decapitation Valley, but he didn't expect that the Ten Directional Nirvana Formation would kill everyone who needed to be killed. In the end, the formation was broken, and a Heavenly Lightning Tribulation killed everyone.

The stone statue that should have been used was saved just like that.

The strength of the stone statue was between the late stage of Void Flight and the early stage of Nascent Core. Before coming to the ancient battlefield, Zi Chen had cleaned up the spirit ring and found this stone statue.

The market was rich in resources and materials, far from what the barbarian land could compare to.

Therefore, Elder Hiroshi asked Zi Chen to buy some materials and refine the stone statue, allowing it to display more powerful combat strength. It became one of Zi Chen's powerful trump cards.

One had to know that this was the stone statue in the deepest part of the Butcher's Burial Ground. According to Elder Hiroshi, the stone statue at its peak could kill Nascent Core experts.

It was only because the stone statue lost a lot of its soul power when it was collected that its realm fell again and again.

The stone statue had been refined by Elder Hiroshi to increase its strength, so Zi Chen didn't think of it immediately.

With a flash of light, the stone statue was released by Elder Hiroshi, and a heart-palpitating aura appeared.

After Elder Hiroshi added a lot of materials and unsealed the Soul Lock, the stone statue's strength had indeed increased.

Clang!

The long saber trembled and made a clanging sound. The stone statue opened its eyes, which were empty without any emotion.

However, the moment it opened its eyes, two cold bolts of lightning flashed. It was as if it could see things, and its empty eyes locked onto the old demonic leopard.

The old demonic leopard, who was insufferably arrogant, had fear in its eyes for the first time after seeing the stone statue in the air.

"Let's go!"

Using the stone statue like this made Zi Chen's heart bleed. This was a shameful waste.

However, his life was in danger, and compared to the stone statue, his life was more important. Therefore, he turned and left.

"If I knew you had this thing, I would have taken away that demonic leopard!"

Looking at the increasing strength of the stone statue, a strange light flashed in the monk's eyes. He muttered in a low voice, but his running speed was not slower than Zi Chen's.

The battle between the stone statue and the old demonic leopard took place in an instant.

The pitch-black saber light surged, piercing through the sky. Everything within dozens of miles was filled with black light. Saber hums resounded unceasingly as a fierce attack was launched, engulfing the old Demonic Leopard.

The old demonic leopard let out a heaven shaking roar. An even more powerful storm appeared and rushed into the world, bringing with it countless thunderous sounds. It enveloped the stone statue expert, and an intense battle broke out.

.....

"This time, they're dead for sure. Cunning humans, they actually want to use me and then kill me in the end." The Spirit Devouring Rat was still running away. After hearing the old demonic leopard's furious voice, it felt extremely carefree.

The monk's greedy eyes were always sizing it up, which made it extremely unhappy.

Furthermore, humans were not trustworthy at all. When they left, they would definitely kill him.

Rather than being used and killed, it was better to find an opportunity to kill the other party first.

"Hehe, this lord is truly a genius."

Thinking that the two of them were going to die under the bloody mouth of the old demonic leopard, the Spirit Devouring Rat couldn't help but feel happy for its masterpiece.

"Peng!"

Suddenly, the world shook. A pitch-black staff shadow appeared in front of the Spirit Devouring Rat and heavily smashed onto its head. The Spirit Devouring Rat was sent flying.

"Ah … It hurts! Who, who's sneak attacking me?" The Spirit Devouring Rat cried out in pain. It instantly crawled up from the ground and looked around vigilantly.

However, the surroundings were empty, and there was nothing.

However, the pain on its head clearly told it that it had indeed been hit by a staff, and that it wasn't an illusion.

"Peng!"

The pitch-black staff shadow appeared again and hit the Spirit Devouring Rat's head in the same spot. Even though the Spirit Devouring Rat was alert, it couldn't dodge.

It was sent flying for the second time. This time, it didn't cry out in pain because it saw a tall figure.

He was more than two meters tall, and his body emitted a black light. He looked like an ape, yet not an ape, yet not a monkey. He held a long black staff in his hand, and a pair of red eyes stared coldly at the Spirit Devouring Rat.

"You … Who are you?"

Feeling the killing intent from the Demon Shadow, the Spirit Devouring Rat was shocked. It couldn't remember when such an ancient beast had appeared in this area.

The Demon Shadow didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his staff again and hit the Spirit Devouring Rat's head again.

This hit was heavy and ruthless. It directly hit the Spirit Devouring Rat until it was dizzy and saw stars. It almost fainted.

"Not bad, your defense is indeed strong!" The Demon Shadow sent a cold voice transmission. A strange light flashed in his red eyes.

The Spirit Devouring Rat was really frightened. This strange ancient beast had extraordinary strength. Moreover, when it attacked for the third time, it was clearly about to dodge, but it suddenly found that it had lost control of its body, as if it was imprisoned.

It was so scared that it didn't dare to move.

However, the Demon Shadow moved. With a wave of his hand, something that looked like a green pearl appeared, emitting a brilliant light.

The Spirit Devouring Rat was too familiar with the thing in the Demon Shadow's hand. It was the blood of a small demonic leopard.

In an instant, its small eyes widened as it said in horror, "You … You're the one who suddenly hit me that day!"

When it was looking for the groundhog that day, it only had time to take a bite of the gem before it was hit by a stick. It screamed in pain and had always been puzzled about this matter.

Now that it thought about it, it was this guy who did it.

And this guy was in cahoots with those two humans.

The Demon Shadow didn't say anything. He directly stepped forward, shattered the blood, and then sprinkled it on the Spirit Devouring Rat.

"What are you doing? This has nothing to do with me. Don't frame me!" The Spirit Devouring Rat was so scared that it kept screaming. The light around its body surged, and it was about to escape.

But it was useless. The strange feeling of imprisonment appeared again. It couldn't move at all.

A moment later, all the green blood merged into its body. Moreover, its body was still emitting a green light with the aura of a small demonic leopard.

Sensing all this, the Spirit Devouring Rat was in despair.

"Hmph, if you can't run, you're dead meat!" A sinister smile appeared on the Demon Ape's face. It then grabbed the Spirit Devouring Rat and left.

During this time, the Spirit Devouring Rat kept struggling, screaming, and trying to escape.

But it was useless. In the hands of the Demon Ape, it couldn't escape at all.

Moreover, when it was annoyed, the Demon Ape would hit it with the stick, making it scream in pain.

The Demon Ape was very fast, far faster than Zi Chen and the monk. This shocked the Spirit Devouring Rat again.

Moreover, the Demon Ape was worried about Zi Chen's safety, so its speed was even faster.

Even though this round trip didn't take up too much of his time.

However, when it encountered Zi Chen, the other party had already used his last trump card and used up all his forbidden weapons and elixir weapons.

"It's all your fault, you damn guy. How dare you scheme against us!"

Seeing the Demon Ape return with the dispirited Spirit Devouring Rat, the monk roared angrily, wanting to bite the other party to death.

Zi Chen was also angry. This time, he didn't get anything. He even lost his elixir weapons, forbidden weapons, and his last trump card.

However, he did not look for trouble with the Spirit Devouring Rat. Instead, he signaled the Demon Ape to put down the Spirit Devouring Rat.

"Now that you're stained with the blood of the little Demonic Leopard, we'll follow you. We'll go wherever you go. If you want to die, we'll accompany you!" Zi Chen said coldly.

"Ah …!" The Spirit Devouring Rat screamed again, its eyes full of despair.

It seemed to be scared silly. Its small body trembled, but it did not run away immediately.

Zi Chen looked at the Spirit Devouring Rat and sneered. Similarly, the Demon Ape and the monk were also looking at it.

Behind them, the sound of energy waves kept ringing. The stone statue expert was not defeated yet.

He had no eyes and did not need to see. Therefore, the old Demonic Leopard's storm was useless against him.

Accompanied by the old Demonic Leopard's roar, green blood rained down. The stone statue expert had injured the old Demonic Leopard.

"Ah … I'm going to die … I'm going to die. That old Demonic Leopard is very strong. It's over. I'm going to die!"

The terrified Spirit Devouring Rat seemed to have been scared silly. It spoke incoherently and fell to the ground, twitching as if it was sick from fear.

The sneer on Zi Chen's face disappeared. The monk and the Demon Ape did not speak either.

In this unfamiliar place, it was undoubtedly a dream to escape the old Demonic Leopard's pursuit.

And their only chance of survival was this cunning Spirit Devouring Rat.

But looking at its condition, it seemed to be in a bad state. It was scared out of its mind.

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion sounded in the distance. The stone statue expert was finally shattered, turning into dust and disappearing.

The storm dissipated, revealing the old Demonic Leopard. There were several wounds on its body, and green blood rained down.

It was still holding the little Demonic Leopard in its arms. If it was not for the little Demonic Leopard, this battle would have ended long ago.

"I'm going to tear you into pieces!" The old Demonic Leopard's cold voice resounded for thousands of miles.

In the distance, when the Spirit Devouring Rat heard this voice, it also shuddered.

It got up from the ground with a grunt. It no longer pretended to be crazy and stared fiercely at Zi Chen, saying coldly, "You win!"

After that, the Spirit Devouring Rat began to run.

"Follow!" Zi Chen sneered and turned into a streak of lightning to follow.

He had been very calm before, but when he moved, he realized that his back was already drenched in cold sweat.

The speed of the Spirit Devouring Rat was not slower than Zi Chen and the others. After feeling the aura of the old Demonic Leopard getting closer and closer, it could only run for its life.

"Where are we going now?" The monk could not help but ask while running.

"Despicable humans, you're trying to kill me!"

The Spirit Devouring Rat complained, then said unhappily, "Let's go to my place and hide first. Otherwise, we're dead.

This old Demonic Leopard is the king of this generation. "

"Damn it, since it's the king, why did you make us kill the little Demonic Leopard?!" The monk could not help but curse.

The Spirit Devouring Rat also felt wronged. It wanted to say that it only wanted to kill them, but it did not want to die.

However, it did not say that, afraid that it would be killed on the spot.

Sure enough, with the Spirit Devouring Rat leading the way, the three of them were no longer like headless flies. Instead, they fled with a purpose. Although the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, from the expression of the Spirit Devouring Rat, it seemed that they were not far from their destination.

"Is your nest safe?" The monk was not confident and could not help but ask.

"At least it's safer than here!

Let's go, follow me! "After saying that, the Spirit Devouring Rat's body flashed and entered the ground.

But soon, it was brought out by a ball of black light. It heard Zi Chen say coldly, "Run on the ground!"

The Spirit Devouring Rat was helpless and could only continue to run.

This run lasted for several hours. Moreover, it was not a straight line, but a continuous detour. The old Demonic Leopard, who should have caught up, was left far behind.

"Let's go!" Then, the Spirit Devouring Rat led them to a secret cave.

As soon as they arrived, the two of them saw many sparkling crystals, as well as a rich spirit energy that assailed their nostrils.
