Myth Beyond Heaven

Facing the terrifying air blade, Liang Gouzhi didn't dare to underestimate it. He executed his movement technique to the fullest, trying to avoid the incoming attack.

In the next moment, Liang Gouzhi's expression changed drastically when he saw the air blade abruptly change direction midair and chase after him at an even faster speed.

Puff!

Liang Gouzhi didn't have time to think about it much. The only thing he could do was try his best to twist his body and hope to dodge the air blade. Unfortunately, his speed was much slower, the air blade directly cut his shoulder and severed his right arm instantly.

"Argh!" Blood arrow spurted out of the wound, accompanied by a painful scream. Liang Gouzhi managed to stabilize himself in midair and looked at his severed arm on the ground in horror.

"Ah? Still missed?" The boy was surprised to see this. He was certain that this attack could reap Liang Gouzhi's life in one shot, but the result had exceeded his expectation.

"Who are you?" Liang Gouzhi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain while staring at the boy.

"Me? Oh, oh. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yin Su." The boy, Yin Su, patted his head with a foolish smile. "Big brother, you're quite strong. You're the first person that could evade my attack twice in a row… I believe you must be delicious." As he spoke, he licked his lips while staring at Liang Gouzhi as though he was looking at a top delicacy.

Liang Gouzhi shivered in fright upon hearing this. This little boy was definitely a devil! He must absolutely leave this place!

"Boss!" At this moment, the chubby man and the others caught up with Liang Gouzhi. They then discovered something was not right as they saw Liang Gouzhi's arm was missing.

"Boss, you…" The chubby man was shocked and was about to ask something. He suddenly caught a glimpse of Yin Su in the sky and became confused. No matter how he looked at Yin Su, he was nothing but a mere ten-year-old brat.

"Boy, did you ambush our boss?" The chubby man asked coldly. In his mind, the only possibility was that Yin Su had caught Liang Gouzhi off-guard.

Liang Gouzhi opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end. He secretly glanced at Yin Su and waited for the opportunity to escape.

Yin Su turned to look at the newcomers and said with an innocent smile. "Yes, big brother fatty."

"Courting death!" The chubby man was angry and sent several fire arrows toward Yin Su.

Seeing this scene, Liang Gouzhi didn't hesitate to execute his movement technique and ran away without looking back.

Yin Su let out a giggle and waved his tiny hand. Instantly, all the fire arrows disappeared without a trace, replacing them with several air blades and rushing toward the chubby man and the others.

The chubby man was stunned. Before he could react, his head had already been cut cleanly. The same went for the rest of his group.

Looking at the result, Yin Su muttered. "Huh? So weak? Sure enough. Their fleshes must be unpalatable."

He shook his head slightly and turned to look at Liang Gouzhi to discover that the latter was already gone. "Ah? Where did he go?"

"Can you stop playing around, Yin Su?" At this moment, Yin Xichen appeared a few meters away from Yin Su with Liang Gouzhi's lifeless body in his hand.

Yin Su pouted and said. "I haven't come out for so long. Can't I play for a while?"

Yin Xichen didn't say anything and threw Liang Gouzhi's body at Yin Su.

Yin Su grabbed Liang Gouzhi's body and sniffed slightly before saying. "Mhm. Although it's a bit smelly, it should be delicious."

Yin Xichen knew what was about to happen next. He turned his head away and immediately heard a crunching sound, as though someone was eating something… Master, oh, master. Why did you send him here? He complained inwardly.

A while later, Yin Su licked the last bit of bloodstain on his hand and said with a satisfied smile. "Good to eat!"

Yin Xichen turned toward Yin Su, and Liang Gouzhi's body was nowhere to be seen now. He didn't want to stay here further and said. "I've found their location. They are heading toward the island's center and should reach there in two hours."

"So?" Yin Su asked.

Yin Xichen said in dissatisfaction. "Don't forget the task that Master gave you. We need a lot of sacrifices to open the vault here. I've already collected more than half of it."

"Right, right." Yin Su nodded his head innocently. "Can I fill my stomach first? You know, I didn't eat enough for all these years."

Yin Xichen was angry, but there was nothing he could do. He let out a sigh and said. "Never mind. They won't leave this place soon, anyway."

"Yay! You're so nice, Big Brother Chen." Yin Su threw his arms in the air and laughed happily like a kid.

Yin Xichen couldn't help having goosebumps all over his body when he saw Yin Su's current appearance. No one knew how many lives had been reaped underneath this innocent face.

"It seems no one comes here." Xue Qianqian said while collecting some precious plants along the way.

"There's nothing in the center area, anyway." Tong Mi'er said.

The area where Yun Lintian's group stood currently was extremely quiet. No movement or a trace of life sign could be detected here. Obviously, no other practitioners had come here.

"Let's continue." Yun Lintian glanced around briefly and urged everyone to move forward.

A half an hour later, Yun Lintian's group rushed out of the forest and arrived at a spacious area without any vegetation. Four black monuments stood at the center, approximately thirty meters high. Three monuments were arranged in triangular, surrounding one in the middle.

Yun Lintian carefully observed these monuments and saw some ancient runes that he didn't understand. However, when he looked more closely, he could see symbols of the Sun, Moon, and Star on the three outer monuments. These symbols somehow gave off a familiar feeling to him, making him frown in doubt.
