Chapter 1646 The World-Ending Demon Leads the Way
Chen Xuan not only emerged from the stone tablet, but did so in such a jaw-dropping manner!
The others also had various expressions.
That was a peerless demon. Chen Xuan uttered a single word, "Stop," and it obeyed. Without knowing better, one might mistake it for a pet. However, everyone knew the terrifying nature of the World-Ending Demon. If Chen Xuan had not appeared, they would all have perished here.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The World-Ending Demon let out a sound of discontent, seemingly displeased with Chen Xuan's intervention.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "I know you desire righteousness, but they are my friends and family. You cannot act. However, I can guarantee that when I next visit Man-Eating Island, I will liberate you along with them. How does that sound?"
The World-Ending Demon hesitated for a moment, then nodded. It turned and left, disappearing into the depths of the demon cave.
The sudden resolution of the crisis left everyone feeling as though it were a dream.
"Drunken Daoist, are you alright?" Chen Xuan looked at the disheveled Daoist.
The disheveled Daoist shook his head, "I'm fine, just some minor injuries."
Chen Xuan raised his hand and inserted a few silver needles, immediately alleviating the disheveled Daoist's injuries.
While Chen Xuan was treating the disheveled Daoist, the latter couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you manage that?"
"Manage what?"
"That World-Ending Demon..."
"Let's put it this way: I made a deal with the owner of the World-Ending Demon. Now I am also considered its half-master, so naturally, it listens to me."
Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed the disheveled Daoist's face.
Mainly, Chen Xuan's words were too shocking.
Firstly, this terrifying World-Ending Demon actually had an owner.
Secondly, Chen Xuan had actually made a deal with that individual.
The disheveled Daoist intended to ask more, but Su Qian said, "Alright, the crisis is resolved. We should leave here quickly, lest things change."
"Okay!"
The disheveled Daoist seemed very familiar with Su Qian and nodded.
Thus, the group embarked on their return journey.
They left the cave.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, they were startled. The area outside the cave was a mess, littered with severed limbs and body parts, with rivers of blood. The air was thick with the smell of blood. It was impossible to know how many people had died here.
"We might not have an easy time leaving today."
Zhang Jian swallowed.
Chen Xuan looked over and saw fierce beasts standing not far away, their expressions ferocious and terrifying, exuding a dangerous and domineering aura.
Their gaping mouths revealed fangs dripping with blood.
"How could this be? Why are these fierce beasts so terrifying?"
Before they arrived, these fierce beasts were terrifying, but they were nowhere near this ferocious.
"This is bad, it looks like a beast tide has broken out!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked into the distance, where hordes of ferocious beasts were stampeding from the distant mountain peaks.
Xu Chun suggested, "With so many ferocious beasts, even the strongest martial artists wouldn't be able to handle this. We'd best not leave yet. These beasts are wary of the cave and wouldn't dare enter easily. Let's retreat into the cave to wait out the storm."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the World-Ending Demon suddenly charged over.
"Not good, the World-Ending Demon is back!" Zhang Jian shouted.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, "Chen Xuan, be careful!"
The World-Ending Demon was clearly heading for Chen Xuan.
But in the next moment, the World-Ending Demon obediently stood before Chen Xuan, seemingly whispering something to him.
Their eyes were filled with curiosity.
A moment later, Chen Xuan said, "The World-Ending Demon says it can escort us out of here to the port of Man-Eating Island."
"That would be great!" Zhang Jian exclaimed excitedly.
The others naturally agreed.
And so, the World-Ending Demon led the way.
As the World-Ending Demon approached, the ferocious beasts trembled, prostrating themselves in submission. Some weaker beasts were so terrified that they died on the spot.
All the ferocious beasts obediently cleared a path for them.
"My heavens, this is too magnificent!"
The mature-for-his-age Yang Xiaohu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The others were also exhilarated.
Su Qian said calmly, "This World-Ending Demon is a legendary ferocious beast. Its strength is still weak now, but as it grows, it will definitely become a dominant presence on Man-Eating Island. It's natural that these so-called fierce beasts will be submissive before it."
"I can't even imagine how terrifying the World-Ending Demon will be when it grows up."
The others silently nodded, resolving to never provoke the World-Ending Demon in the future.
The beast tide surged, sweeping in all directions with unstoppable force. Many who had come to Man-Eating Island were swallowed by the beast tide, and blood flowed like rivers.
The blood seeped into the ground, as if countless veins were absorbing it.
"Ninety-nine percent of the people who came to Man-Eating Island this time are going to die here."
Yang Xiaohu sighed and began reciting scriptures to bless the departed souls.
Although Su Qian and the others were accustomed to life and death, they had never witnessed such a terrifying scene, and a strange feeling arose within them.
The beast tide raged, but the fierce beasts did not dare to approach Chen Xuan's side, all because of the presence of the World-Ending Demon.
Suddenly, Zhang Jian pointed to a spot not far away and said, "Look quickly, who is that?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw several familiar figures surrounded by fierce beasts. These were none other than people from the Sakura Organization.
The Sakura Organization was in a miserable state. There were originally seven or eight members, but only Sato Imi, Takahashi Yuri, and a young boy remained. The others had already become corpses.
"Hahaha, the Sakura Organization truly deserves it. They wanted to plot against us, but who knew we would be safe and sound, while they are trapped by the fierce beasts? It's truly retribution." Xu Chun laughed heartily.
At this moment, Su Qian said, "Chen Xuan, save them."
"Why?"
"I've heard that several important figures from our Xia Kingdom have been captured by the Japanese. If we save them, perhaps we can exchange for our Xia Kingdom's people."
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan readily agreed. He conveyed a message to the World-Ending Demon.
The World-Ending Demon, a spiritual entity of heaven and earth, possessed supreme intelligence and immediately understood.
The World-Ending Demon let out a roar, "Roar—"
In the next moment, the beasts that were surrounding and killing Takahashi Yuri instantly prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
Takahashi Yuri and the others were stunned and exchanged glances.
They turned to look and saw Chen Xuan and the World-Ending Demon approaching.
"Chen Xuan? You're alright?"
Takahashi Yuri did not seem disappointed, but rather excited.
"Did you hope we would all die in there? But it's a shame, my luck is quite good." Chen Xuan sneered a few times.
"Little brother, how could this sister wish for your death? That Soul-Hooking Incense wasn't my doing." Takahashi Yuri said proactively.
These words were not false; it was the elders of the Sakura Organization who were behind it.
"It's really not us who did it," Sato Imi also said.
"It's best if it wasn't you."
Chen Xuan said, "I am saving your lives right now."
"Saving us? Are you lusting after this sister's body? You can say it directly, and this sister will surely satisfy you." Takahashi Yuri flirtatiously winked.
