Chapter 63 – Sacrificing oneselfTranslated by Monkillu

Numerous ferocious beasts rushed over, within an instant they were in a fierce combat with the humans, the entire valley became a giant battlefield instantaneously .

Peng!

As one of the ninth Zhen Qi Layer experts’ zhen qi surged, and his rushing energy burst forth, he killed a rank eight ferocious beast in one strike, but then even more ferocious beasts arrived, and he was drowned in the tide in an instant

Midst the stampede, one could clearly hear the sound of the ninth Zhen Qi Layer expert being crushed, as well as the desperate pitiful screams of a ninth Zhen Qi Layer expert perishing .

“Ah, help!

A cultivator was killed in the big mouth of a blazing tiger, he only had enough time to send out a cry for help at the brink of his death .

There was nobody there to rescue him, at this moment, everybody was busy defending themselves .

“Senior brother Zi Chen, save me ah!”

“Senior sister Su Mengyao, please save me . ”

“Senior brother Mu Yi!”

“Senior brother Liang Guang, please save us!”

A crowd of disciples who were being overrun by the ferocious beasts were calling for help .

Puff!

A sword beam flashed by and a rank nine ferocious beast died . A Zhan Wu Sect’s tenth Zhen Qi Layer expert had killed three rank nine ferocious beasts, but after that he was glared at by even more ferocious beasts . Numerous ferocious beasts rushed over crazily, this tenth Zhen Qi Layer expert was drowned in the tide instantly .

Blood spattered around, the ferocious beasts died one by one, but the wounds on this expert’s body also kept increasing, until finally, he was overrun by the beast tide .

A tenth Zhen Qi Layer expert died .

“Rise!!!” Some disciple depended on his well versed movement technique . As his feet moved, he soared towards the air, and leveraged on the mountain wall by stabbing out with their weapons on it . He used it as leverage continuously, until he finally reached the peak of the mountain with great difficulty, before he had the time to laugh out, he saw Ling Chen on the peak .

“Die!”

Ling Chen grinned fiendishly, he sent out a kick with a lightning speed and this cultivator fell towards the valley . With a height of several hundred meters, this person would die without doubt .

There was a tide of ferocious beasts in front of them and a snake behind them, and Ling Chen and the rest on the mountain peak, it can be said that the numerous disciples had arrived in a deathtrap .

“Hisss!”

The snake hissed again and again as it attacked time and time again, after just a few blows, more than 20 cultivators had died, they were dragged into the lake and there was no more movement .

The ground trembled . Finally, the ferocious beasts had rushed into the valley, numerous cultivators turned back and returned, the ground trembled as a chaotic battle occurred .

Zi Chen and the others also got up, this kind of situation did not allow them to recover their strength .

“It must be Ling Chen, this must be their scheme . ”

“This bastard, his goal is to kill us . ”

Mu Yi and the rest were furious, but at this moment, they did not have any options . ”

“What should we do? Should we rush out?” Some people suggested .

“Rush out? There are so many ferocious beasts out there . ”

Facing those countless ferocious beasts, if they were in their best condition, they could still cope with it, but right now, everyone was injured . They could only sigh helplessly .

“We must not rush out . ” Said Zi Chen, “Right now, we are severely wounded, facing several hundred ferocious beasts we simply can’t force our way out . ”

“Then what should we do? Just wait for death?”

“We should gather together and defend a place in turns, to exhaust these ferocious beasts slowly . ”

“Great idea . Let’s advance a bit, it is too dangerous here, we’re still in the attack range of the snake here . ”

The crowd agreed to advance . The piercing cries for help resounded in their ears, but towards these cries, Zi Chen and the rest turned over a deaf ear, even Su Mengyao was disinclined to pay attention to them .

Mu Yi took the lead . As his zhen qi surged, he blew away those ferocious beasts that were flocking over .

The snake resurfaced from the lake once again, its cold eyes swept over the chaotic crowd, it seemed to be considering where it should launch the attack next . Suddenly, the snake saw the movement of Zi Chen’s group .

The giant waves surged to the skies, the lake surface billowed . The snake’s eyes were extremely cold, it opened its big mouth and whipped out towards Su Mengyao, that was at the rear, rapidly .

The wind howled, a moist aura was rushing over, the Xiantian Realm pressure closed in once again . Su Mengyao, who had realized the danger, turned her head suddenly, and saw a big mouth arriving in front of her face .

“Ah!”

Su Mengyao let out a scream . She was frightened, obviously she did not expect that the snake would attack her, but at this crucial moment, a strong force burst out from the side suddenly . It pushed Su Mengyao back immediately . She staggered and fell towards the flank, she was spared from the snake’s attack as she rubbed past the snake’s scale .

Su Mengyao fell on the ground, but she was out of danger . But a person had suddenly appeared at the place where she stood before . It was exactly Zi Chen who had knocked Su Mengyao away at the critical moment . The next moment, the snake bit towards Zi Chen, the cold and sharp teeth in the snake’s big mouth seemed like they were going to split Zi Chen into two .

In the big mouth, the stench was unparalleled . There was fresh blood dripping, and there were still some human residues left, it could be described as extremely gruesome . In the gaze of the aghast crowd, the snake’s big mouth closed .

Swish!

The snake retreated again, but Zi Chen’s figure was already gone . Waves splashed over from the lake as the snake’s figure fell . Zi Chen had been bitten by the snake and was brought to the bottom of the lake .

“No! Zi Chen!!!” Lin Xue screamed, her eyes were filled with despair . She did not give thought to her life as she rushed towards the lake, yet she was stopped by a person suddenly, and that was the severely injured Miao Kong .

“Draw back quickly!” Miao Kong pulled Lin Xue and retreated, at the same time, Zhang Haotian also held up Su Mengyao, they moved forward with Mu Yi and the rest .

The current snake was invincible, nobody could stop it . Zi Chen was swallowed, although they were furious, they did not have any other options .

As to killing the snake, they did not even need to think about it .

The crowd looked for a place according to Zi Chen’s suggestion, their backs faced the mountain wall, and they took turns to guard .

Lin Xue and Su Mengyao were objects of protection, because at this moment, the state of both of them was really bad . Lin Xue was deeply saddened . When she saw that Zi Chen was bitten by the snake, there was a desire to suicide in her heart . Her tears flowed down profusely, she was extremely sad . Su Mengyao was not much better than Lin Xue, her beautiful face was pale, her mind was filled with the scene where Zi Chen knocked her away before .

At that moment, Zi Chen had traded his own life for her life, he had saved her, yet he was actually buried in the snake’s mouth .

Zhang Haotian was standing before them with his severely injured body, he sent out swift and fierce attacks toward the ferocious beasts that were rushing over crazily .

“Before, Zi Chen had protected me . Now that he is dead, I must protect his friends . ” Zhang Haotian’s gaze was very firm, just like an iron tower, as he guarded there . He was firm and unshakable . He guarded the two people behind him that were in a trance, to give them a piece of quiet .

The crowd gathered at the same place, they defended in a small area . Several people defended against the ferocious beasts, while the other people were restoring their injuries, after defending for some time, they then swapped places .

It can be said that this was the only way to survive in the present situation, it was also the most effective method .

After the other people saw this scene, they also followed suit .

Lin Xue’s eyes were staring at the lake surface listlessly, she was in deep grievance .

Don’t know why, after the snake swallowed Zi Chen, it actually did not attack for a long time . Moreover, the lake water was surging fiercely, it seemed like a battle was happening at the bottom of the lake .

“Zi Chen has not died, he is fighting with the snake!”

The lake water surged fiercely, it set off waves with dozens of meters of height . Lin Xue’s listless eyes lit up suddenly, and she cried out in alarm .

The several people that were restoring their injuries turned their head subconsciously . In the billowing lake water, from time to time, they could see the snake’s body, that was covered with scales, moving on the lake’s surface unceasingly .

Su Mengyao’s eyes also lit up, her pale complexion turned slightly ruddy . She was praying in her heart for Zi Chen, hoping that he can survive .

“Zi Chen, you must hold on . ”

Even Xu Yan died in the mouth of the snake, never mind the eighth Zhen Qi Layer Zi Chen . Therefore, there was only one thought in everyone’s mind, that was that Zi Chen can only persist for a while longer . As for his life and death, the moment Zi Chen fell into the middle of the lake, he had been doomed .

Perhaps in everyone’s mind, they already had imagined Zi Chen’s outcome, but nobody was willing to acknowledge it, everyone was anticipating the occurrence of a miracle .

However, for this miracle, the chances were really too slim .

“Hmph, kill them, it would be the best if all of them were killed . Unfortunately, the Ling Wu Sect’s two beauties, the people that Chen Feng was concerned about, are going to perish . ” On the peak, Ling Chen was looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, but a trace of regret flashed in his eyes .

The nearby Xie Qiu also said with a smile: “It is a pity, since they are going to die anyway, it would be great if we could enjoy them before they died, we can also taste Chen Feng taste . ”

“Beautiful woman are a lot . Don’t delay the important matter for these two women . What about the matter of the spirit medicines?” Ling Chen suddenly asked .

These ferocious beasts were dominated by the ** fragrance, obviously they have discarded the spirit medicine . Perhaps our people’s hands are having cramps now from picking all those spirit medicines . ” Said Xie Qiu .

“That is good . Our goal this time, apart from winning the bet, we also must make the other two sects suffer heavy losses . ” A cold light suddenly appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes, “Xu Yan, this thrash, he could not kill the snake . If only both of them were severely injured, we would have really killed three birds with one stone . ”

At this time, in the spirit medicine garden, the Zhan Wu Sect’s disciple were collecting the spirit medicines crazily . They were following the rich delicate fragrances of spirit medicines and collecting strains of spirit medicines .

For those 500-600 years spirit medicines, usually they needed to deal with the guarding ferocious beasts, but the ferocious beasts had left today, so they could collect willfully .

Without the ferocious beasts’ guarding, they were unhindered, therefore they could pick the spirit medicines freely .

“Hurry up, faster . We still need to go back and fight later on . ” Ling Fei’s voice rang . He was accompanied by Chen Qi, who had lost one of his arms, as well as Tai kai . They were Ling Fei’s protectors now, they were protecting Ling Fei’s safety at all times .

“Ahem, when our plan succeeds this time, our Zhan Wu Sect will the biggest winner . But I wonder if that Zi Chen was taken in or not . ” Chen Qi clenched his teeth while saying that, his arm was cut by Zi Chen, therefore he bearing a deep grudge towards Zi Chen .

“Relax Chen Qi, I know that you hate Zi Chen, I’m also the same . Didn’t they already say that the news had been given to Zi Chen? The enticement of a 1000 years spirit medicine is enough to make Zi Chen go there . Perhaps he is already dead now . ” Said Ling Fei with a smile as he patted Chen Qi’s shoulder .

“Unfortunately I couldn’t kill him personally . ” Said Chen Qi .

“It is indeed a pity, but we are also not able kill him personally . Letting other people kill him is also fine . I hope he will be dismembered by those countless ferocious beasts . ” Said Tai Kai maliciously .

Zi Chen was swallowed by the snake, his life was in peril, but he had not died yet .

After he knocked Su Mengyao away, Zi Chen saw the snake’s mouth with the sharp cold teeth immediately and then he was bitten by the snake . But at that critical moment, Zi Chen’s feet moved, he rushed towards the mouth of the snake . When the snake’s mouth closed, Zi Chen had already evaded those teeth, that were just like a biting sawtooth, and he slid towards the belly of the snake .

Apparently, the snake did not expect that . Before, when it swallowed these humans, it would bite them to death thoroughly, and then swallow them into its abdomen . But at this moment, Zi Chen jumped in suddenly, therefore it could only swallow Zi Chen alive .
