Chapter 250: Chapter 218 Tiger Demon Teng Appears

Previously, a total of three hundred and forty-nine of them broke into the ancient tomb in a grand manner to seek adventure and treasure.

At the peripheral islands, they were scattered across ten islands, and many died in the scramble for the Legacy Treasure Black Pearl; even more perished as Demon Beasts rampaged during the eruption of the dark pillars, and in the end, only ninety-three managed to enter the central island.

Out of the ninety-three people who entered the central island, only fifty successfully made it into Azure Blue Lake.

As a result, while they struggled through Azure Blue Mansion within Azure Blue Lake, many more died, leaving only about twenty of them still alive.

They had originally thought that those who were eliminated but survived might still be lingering in the previous realm. But now it seems that even if they were lucky enough not to die during the adventure, they were still ultimately killed by this ancient tomb!

Now, within this ancient tomb, only about twenty of them were left alive!

Out of the three hundred and forty-nine who entered the tomb, only about twenty were still alive, a thought that was chilling.

Furthermore, if Ye Chen had not discovered the truth, they would have continued to be led by the nose by the ancient tomb's Legacy Treasure, and they might not even know how they died before continuing to perish inside!

Earlier, the golden Demon Carp had said that not enough had died yet, and now they finally understood what that meant. This ancient tomb truly wanted them to keep dying!

Such methods were indeed the tactics of the Demon Sects!

It was simply too cruel, showing complete disregard for the lives of the cultivators from the thirteen countries of Tian Nan!

While the Tomb Explorers were still stunned by this shocking news, the golden Demon Carp, gripped within the giant palm, had a glint of cunning flash in its demonic eyes. In an instant, its body, which was over two hundred meters long, shrank many times over and became the size of a palm.

Then, in a flash, the now miniaturized golden carp slipped through the gaps of the shrinking giant palm and darted away at an unbelievable speed.

The golden Demon Carp had actually seized the moment of everyone's bewilderment to escape!

Boom!

The golden Demon Carp, aware of Ye Chen's formidable power and having just escaped from the giant palm, certainly did not want to be captured by him again. As it reverted to its true giant form, it even burnt its Life Rotating Pill without hesitation, boosting its speed to what only a mid-stage Rotating Pill Demon King would possess!

In the blink of an eye, the golden Demon Carp had escaped thousands of meters away, and at the same time, it sought help from the even more fearsome Tiger Demon Teng with its unique abilities!

"Not good!"

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and all people saw was a flash of golden light before the golden Demon Carp, previously held by the giant palm, disappeared. Looking ahead, they saw that it had already escaped far away.

This turn of events caused many to exclaim in shock!

They had finally caught a formidable demon creature in the ancient tomb only to let it escape, increasing their danger!

"Ye Chen!"

Amidst the exclamations, Fairy Nishang turned to look at Ye Chen, knowing that among them, only Ye Chen could deal with the golden Demon Carp.

Since the golden Demon Carp had fled, only Ye Chen had a hope of capturing it again.

When Fairy Nishang looked at Ye Chen, she saw no surprise on his face. The golden Demon Carp had suddenly used its magical ability to shrink and escape, yet Ye Chen seemed unaffected?

"It's fine, let it escape, we'll just catch up to it!"

Ye Chen smiled at Fairy Nishang and suddenly his whole body erupted with a boundless surge of black true qi. Releasing the black true qi, he flashed and arrived a kilometer ahead, chasing after the fleeing golden Demon Carp!

"Did Ye Chen let this golden Demon Carp escape on purpose?"

Seeing Ye Chen's smile, a thought flashed through Fairy Nishang's mind. She moved swiftly, following behind Ye Chen in pursuit of the golden Demon Carp.

Seeing this, others followed suit and chased after as well.

This ancient tomb, infinitely mysterious and belonging to Heavenly Saint Moya of the Demon Sects, was not a place where they dared to stay on their own. Otherwise, the next to die mysteriously might be them.

Of course, they had to follow the most powerful Ye Chen and the incredibly formidable Fairy Nishang! Discover stories at m|v|l|e|mp|y|r

Among the pursuing crowd, Xue Yue, a hidden disciple of the Demon Sects, eyes shimmered with a strange brilliance: "Heavenly Saint Moya's ancient tomb! I wasn't wrong in my feeling before—it truly is the tomb of a saint from my Demon Sects! I'm well aware of the methods of the Demon Sects, perhaps, the last one standing could be me!"

Xue Yue, his mind filled with greedy thoughts, kept up with the crowd without lagging behind.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ahead, the golden Demon Carp burnt its Life Rotating Pill and fled at breakneck speed.

Behind, the crowd chased after the Demon Carp fiercely.

But among all of them, only Ye Chen managed to keep close on the heels of the golden Demon Carp without falling behind, while the rest, even Fairy Nishang, were quite a distance behind him, and that gap kept growing bigger!

Had Ye Chen not been worried about their safety and left them with some tracking marks, they might have been left without a trace!

Amidst the frenzied chase, Ye Chen's eyes were fixed on the swiftly fleeing golden Demon Carp ahead, and his divine consciousness enveloped a thirty-mile radius, surveying everything!

In the Battle Spirit Hall of Azure Blue Mansion, he had fought countless Battle Spirits at the early stage of the Rotating Pill and had long become familiar with this technique of shrinking and enlarging the body.

He didn't want to let the golden Demon Carp escape, not to mention its reduced size, even if the Rotating Pill exploded, it couldn't break free from the huge palm he controlled!

The reason Ye Chen intentionally revealed a flaw and allowed the golden Demon Carp to flee was because it mentioned that aside from itself, there was an even more powerful Tiger Demon Teng within the ancient tomb!

Now that he knew the true nature of the ancient tomb, Ye Chen certainly wanted to take the initiative and lure the Tiger Demon Teng into revealing itself.

Otherwise, if they were in the open while the Tiger Demon Teng hid in the shadows, their chances of survival within the ancient tomb would be even slimmer.

From the way they were continuously driven by an inexplicable force from the peripheral islands to the central island, from the giant lotus leaves to the Azure Blue Lake, Ye Chen knew the Tiger Demon Teng was definitely watching their movements.

Ye Chen intended to use the fleeing golden Demon Carp to draw the Tiger Demon Teng out of hiding.

When that time came, Ye Chen would have to learn from the Tiger Demon Teng what schemes and plots Heavenly Saint Moya had in store, as well as find a way to leave this eerie ancient tomb!

Ye Chen did not believe what the golden Demon Carp said about the master of the tomb simply wanting to kill them all. Otherwise, the master of the tomb would not need to eliminate them layer by layer; most of them could have been killed right at the periphery!

This layer-by-layer elimination, constantly killing people yet allowing the stronger ones to live and continue delving into the tomb, must have an unspeakable purpose!

Ye Chen felt that he might be able to learn of Heavenly Saint Moya's true schemes from the Tiger Demon Teng!

Knowing more about the situation would allow him to think of ways to respond! And find a method to leave the ancient tomb!

As for how formidable the Tiger Demon Teng was, Ye Chen wouldn't be fearful.

He still had the Heavenly Saint Bracelet and several lifesaving cards from the Azure Blue Mansion unused. Even if Heavenly Saint Moya were still alive and made a move himself, Ye Chen wouldn't worry, let alone facing the Tiger Demon Teng, a subordinate of Heavenly Saint Moya.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Ye Chen continued to chase after the golden Demon Carp ahead. His speed kept narrowing the distance between him and the golden Demon Carp, but he never directly caught up.

Of course, Ye Chen would not catch up directly to the Demon Carp. If he employed the Vermilion Bird Speed Great Divine Ability, catching up to the golden Demon Carp, which was only at the early stage of the Rotating Pill, would be incredibly easy. He could've captured it right away as it attempted to escape, let alone allowing it to flee so far.

The reason he didn't catch up directly was to lure the Tiger Demon Teng out using the escaping golden Demon Carp.

As Ye Chen pursued from behind, the golden Demon Carp in front grew increasingly terrified.

It discovered that even when it burned its Life Rotating Pill, the distance it managed to escape kept being closed by Ye Chen.

The golden Demon Carp was nearly frightened into unconsciousness.

"This lad is a monster! He's only in the Spirit Sea Realm, how can he be so fast!"

"Lord Tiger Demon Teng! Where are you, Lord Tiger Demon Teng?!"

"If you don't save me now, this lad will kill me!"

The golden Demon Carp fled frantically, sending out desperate mental calls.

When Ye Chen had pursued the golden Demon Carp to a mere few hundred meters away, and their frenzied flight and chase had almost reached the edge of the immense Azure Blue Lake, the golden Demon Carp's face was ashen.

It knew that if it kept burning its Life Rotating Pill, it wouldn't be able to flee much longer, as it was nearly at its limit.

Ye Chen, following behind the golden Demon Carp, also frowned, not expecting that such a long time had passed without drawing out the Tiger Demon Teng.

Just as Ye Chen thought the Tiger Demon Teng, hidden in the shadows, might still not show up, the ahead golden Demon Carp, which already looked as pale as a dead man, suddenly brightened up.

"Lord Tiger Demon Teng? Have you arrived?"

Boom!

Suddenly, the golden Demon Carp lifted its head, looking towards the surface of the lake.

At that moment, Ye Chen felt a massive shadow cast over the lake.

Moving quickly, Ye Chen dodged out of the shadow's range.

Following that, Ye Chen saw a gigantic, billowing black arm stretch into the lake and the enormous hand grabbed and lifted the golden Demon Carp out of the Azure Blue Lake in one swoop.

"So, Tiger Demon Teng, you've finally decided to appear?!"

As he saw the enormous arm that snatched away the golden Demon Carp, a thought crossed Ye Chen's mind, and he "swooshed" out from the water, rushing above the surface of the Azure Blue Lake.

Standing on the surface of the lake, looking up into the sky, Ye Chen saw a bizarre creature hundreds of meters tall, with a tiger's head and a human's body, enveloped in rolling black mist, standing in the void above the lake.

This strange creature, with its rolling black mist hand, was holding the golden Demon Carp tightly, and its eyes, filled with swirling demonic mist, locked onto Ye Chen in a glance.

"Tiger Demon Teng!"

Upon seeing this bizarre creature, Ye Chen instantly recognized who it was!

Indeed, this was the one he had been wanting to draw out, the Tiger Demon Teng, far more formidable than the golden Demon Carp, and among the Eight Great Demon Tower Guards of Heavenly Saint Moya.

Finally, in this chase and pursuit, the Tiger Demon Teng had revealed itself!
