You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 141 - 57, monster

Inside the maze.

A woman in a black robe with a light veil over her face transformed into a dark light, weaving through the corridors of the maze. With a light palm strike, the walls of the maze before her would shatter.

But there had yet to be anyone from the Tantian Sect coming to intercept her.

Because she was one of the protectors of the Heavenly Born Sect.

As the Saint Heir had said, as a cultivator at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Peak, able to break through the maze walls, the Tantian Sect would not be able to kill her in a short time, and it would also waste time.

Therefore, they would surely concentrate their power to kill those cultivators below the Four Symbols Peak first.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, the dark light that the woman in the black robe had become stopped.

That was because a cute and delicate girl had appeared in the passageway ahead, carrying a pitch-black iron rod on her shoulder, tilting her small head, and looking at her with an adorably naive expression.

"The one blocking you is also at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Peak, likely to prevent you from saving others; avoid entangling with her."

The voice of the Saint Heir came through the Sound Transmission Cicada, ringing in the ears of the woman in the black robe.

"She seems quite immature, probably very young. To have cultivation at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Peak? Does the Tantian Sect truly have such a genius now?"

The woman in the black robe waved her sleeve, conjuring a vast expanse of deep red brilliance that transformed into rippling waves, ready to forcefully repel the girl and leave immediately to avoid entanglement.

This casual flick of her sleeve was simple in appearance, yet it concealed a high-grade Magic Treasure. If the opponent were not careful, even a cultivator at the Four Symbols Peak would suffer a significant setback!

Most suitable for dealing with naive and inexperienced youths such as this one.

The girl muttered something under her breath, then grabbed the pitch-dark iron rod and smashed it towards her head-on.

"You dare to clash head-on?"

The woman in the black robe smirked.

However—

"Boom!"

The moment the iron rod was swung, it turned into a blurry afterimage accompanied by a terrifying explosive sound!

"No good!"

The woman’s face changed drastically, completely unprepared for the fact that this innocent-looking girl possessed such terrifying strength!

A fearsome shadow of the rod, carrying an endless heavy force, smashed down overhead!

"Bang!"

The deep red brilliance conjured by the woman’s sleeve was instantly scattered, and the Magic Treasure hidden within was directly knocked away. The strike squarely and solidly hit the woman in the black robe!

At that moment, she realized her mistake!

The most terrifying thing about this girl was her brute strength, and that iron rod was outrageous. She had actually thought to clash directly with it?

"Rip!"

The protective robe torn instantly, the woman in the black robe’s eyes flashed with fear just before her entire body was smashed apart, dispersing in a mess of flesh and blood!

The passageway was instantly filled with fresh blood and chunks of flesh, a picture of destruction.

"Ew..."

Yu Shiqi revealed a disgusted expression through her pained mask, puffing her cheeks, "To think the strike would be this nasty, I wouldn’t have chanted so long if I had known..."

...

Outside the Flying Boat, darkness enveloped the night.

The Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect, with eyes burning a faint flame, easily pierced through the obstructions of the maze. He could sense every breath inside the maze and vaguely make out its layout and changes.

"How is that possible?"

He showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Instantaneous kill?"

Although this female protector was quite mediocre among the protectors, she was still at the Four Symbols Peak. How could she have been killed instantly?

"Is there actually someone within the Tantian Sect who is close to my own strength?"

The Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect narrowed his eyes, then turned his gaze to another part of the maze, frowning slightly.

"The former protector actually fought Baili Fengzhi for so long?"

The Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect frowned, "A mere Martial Cultivator who has mastered only Taiyang actually has such strength? Where did he come from?"

The combat power of regular cultivators at the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Peak wasn’t something he cared about, but for someone who only had the cultivation of the lower levels of the Four Symbols to display such combat power was indeed astonishing!

"Capturing her alive and offering her to Prince Cheng might bring a great reward."

This thought flashed through the Saint Heir’s mind, and he continued to communicate orders via the Sound Transmission Cicada with his Divine Thought:

"Apart from Azure Dragon, Yue Han, and Silver Spots, the remaining eleven survivors have successfully gathered, and the people of the Tantian Sect have also arrived, proceed according to plan."

He felt some pain in his heart.

Besides the cultivators maintaining the Night Howling Sun-Eating Array, there were twenty-six cultivators of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier from the Heavenly Born Sect participating in the battle.

But in a short time, already twelve of them had died, and among these twelve was one protector at the Four Symbols Peak!

A protector’s role was far more significant than that of an ordinary Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Cultivator. They were even more valuable when a Great Cultivator couldn’t take action. The death of one such individual was a source of great pain for him.

"The entire Tantian Sect must be annihilated."

The eyes of the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect turned icy, and the silver crescent moon on his forehead suddenly brightened.

A curved blade appeared in his hand, and the silver crescent on his forehead emitted a cold, stern silver light that fell upon the blade’s edge.

The blade shimmered with a serpentine cold light.

Then, his body’s veins bulged, dark light faintly visible as his figure suddenly surged, as if his entire body’s proportions were expanding—the size increased to one zhang, two zhang, three zhang...and finally stopped when he reached a height of seven zhang!

As if he were a colossus!

His body swirled with visible malevolent energy, his long hair danced wildly in the gusting winds, his breathing was like a storm, and his immense body concealed a terrifying power!

Even the curved blade in his hands had grown tenfold.

"Crash!"

The giant the Saint Heir had become directly charged towards the maze formed by the Flying Boat, his colossal frame cutting through the air like a ship through waves, kicking up a fierce wind!
