Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 231: The Inner Zone, High-Level Tormented Soul, Acting So Dramatically

“Huh, why has the sky turned dark?”

Everyone was very surprised.

Meanwhile, Leng Changkong’s face changed as he looked into the distance.

From the darkened sky afar, endless gusts of winds and sand gathered, connecting both the heavens and earth, like a black dragon with menacing teeth and claws!

A horrible storm was brewing!

“Not good, it’s a sandstorm!”

“Let’s get out of here!”

Leng Changkong yelled.

Everyone’s expression soon turned into horror.

Sandstorms in the Ancient Battlefield were unlike the ones in other ordinary deserts. That current sandstorm had a terrifyingly ferocious qi contained within it which would most likely kill an Honorable if one were to be swept into it!

Leng Changkong and the others never stood a chance against that natural disaster.

“Brother Chu, let’s go!”

Leng Changkong shouted towards Chu Kuangren with a frightened expression. Then, he led others, running in another direction.

Chu Kuangren glanced at the overwhelming sandstorm and hesitated for a while before both he and Lan Yu then ran away with the others.

In fact, the sandstorm was not a threat to him at all, but it was horrifying to Leng Changkong and the others.

“D*mn our bad luck, I can’t believe we ran into a sandstorm today.”

“Stop complaining and run faster.”

They kept on running.

At last, although shocked, everyone managed to escape from that disaster.

“Phew, now that I’ve survived from this sandstorm, that encounter is enough for me to brag about it for the rest of my life once I return home.” The talkative young man laughed.

Everyone had a look on them as well, that they had just survived a terrifying disaster.

“Haha, I’m still alive.”

“Hey, f*ck off, why are you touching me?”

“I want to find out if someone has wet their pants.”

Leng Changkong and the others talked and laughed as they laid on the ground.

“Captain, something doesn’t seem right,” one of the female cultivators in the group said with a concerned look as she observed their surroundings.

At that, everyone looked at each other.

Leng Changkong immediately came to his senses and looked around before his expression gradually turned grim. “This area seems to be... the Inner Zone!”

The moment those words were spoken, everyone’s expression suddenly changed.

Compared to the Outer Zone of the Ancient Battlefield, the Inner Zone was a more horrifying area. Leng Changkong and the others had ventured to the Ancient Battlefield for so many years yet they had never been to the Inner Zone.

“What!”

“F*ck, we seemed to have run the wrong way.”

“Let’s quickly head back then.”

Leng Changkong nodded and said towards a cultivator, “Old Zhang, set a path to Sunsoil City. We shall head back now.”

“Got it.”

When Old Zhang took out a compass and was about to find out their current location, a roar suddenly rang out from somewhere nearby, and a great surge of ferocious qi that could seemingly materialize immediately swept towards them violently.

Leng Changkong and the others immediately readied their weapons as if a powerful enemy was approaching them.

All they saw was a huge toad descending from the sky. That toad was very ugly but had mist-formed black ferocious qi surging around its body. Its grayish-white skin squirmed as if a hideous face was howling from within.

“High... High-level tormented soul!”

Everyone was extremely terrified.

The high-level tormented souls of the Ancient Battlefield were extremely terrifying and at least on par with the strength of a Battle Monarch. It was not something that could be easily dealt with by Leng Changkong and his men.

“Retreat!”

Leng Changkong shouted, ordering everyone to leave.

He then took out a long sword with the intention of buying time for the others to escape. Even he was very well clear that his Paradise Realm cultivation level would not last long against it.

“No, captain! We will fight with you until our last breaths!”

“That’s right, we’ll never leave you behind.”

“We’re a team after all.”

Everyone looked like they were staring death in the eyes.

As for Leng Changkong, his nose soured as he was so touched.

At that moment.

A ray of white light shot out and directly landed on the toad’s body. The high-level tormented soul, which was akin to a Battle Monarch’s level, was brutally blown to bits!

Lan Yu then walked towards them slowly.

She was the one who attacked just now.

She looked strangely at the teary-eyed Leng Changkong and his group.

It was as if she was implying, ‘Was that worth a fuss? Isn’t that just a Battle Monarch? A single punch should do the trick, so why’s everyone sobbing and wailing so dramatically?’

Upon seeing that, the corners of Leng Changkong’s and his men’s mouths twitched.

Their emotional outbursts just now were meaningless.

However, they were secretly astonished at the same time.

‘A high-level tormented soul was destroyed by a single punch?’

‘F*ck me!’

That level of strength was a little overwhelming for the likes of them.

Then, Leng Changkong looked at Chu Kuangren who was walking towards them from nearby with a complicated look in his eyes. ‘All this while, it’s obvious that Lan Yu has been treating Chu Kuangren as her Master, yet she possesses such a level of strength.’

‘If that’s the case, then how terrifying is Chu Kuangren’s power then?’

Leng Changkong did not dare to think about it anymore.

“So this is a high-level tormented soul from the Inner Zone? Doesn’t seem that scary to me,” Chu Kuangren murmured with a slight disappointment in his eyes.

Leng Changkong and the others let out a bitter laugh at his words.

‘A high-level tormented soul is not that scary?’

‘Is this guy the boss here?’

Everyone started to feel unworthy of being in Chu Kuangren’s company.

“However, there are indeed more treasures in the Inner Zone.” Sensing the treasures around him, Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.

Leng Changkong’s eyes lit up with delight.

“Um, captain, this is a great opportunity for us.”

Old Zhang looked at Leng Changkong.

After all, they rarely traveled into the Inner Zone, and the treasures in the Inner Zone were more valuable than the ones found in the Outer Zone.

They initially thought it would be impossible to explore that area due to their strengths, but things were different now that both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu were with them.

With Chu Kuangren’s strength and his ability to detect treasures, they could still make a profit even if the rest of them were to follow behind him and pick up what he left behind!

Everyone looked at Leng Changkong excitedly, hoping that he would get their signal.

‘Hurry up, captain!’

‘How can we let this great opportunity slip by!’

Leng Changkong naturally knew what his men were implying. However, he found it hard to open his mouth the moment he looked at Chu Kuangren.

Besides saving his life yesterday, he had also brought everyone on a looting spree in the Outer Zone today; they had already taken a lot of advantage of Chu Kuangren.

“Brother Leng, can you tell me the current situation in this Inner Zone?”

Before Leng Changkong could say anything, Chu Kuangren asked him instead.

“Alright.”

Leng Changkong nodded and explained the current situation in the Ancient Battlefield’s Inner Zone to him. Although he did not come here that often, he had heard a lot of information about that area from the stronger adventurers in Sunsoil City.

“In the Inner Zone, due to the change in the ferocious qi concentration, the number of tormented souls far exceeds that of the Outer Zone, and they’re generally much stronger as well.”

“The Inner Zone’s Ten Tormented are the most well known among them, and they are officially acknowledged by the Sunsoil City as the ten most powerful tormented souls!”

“Each of them possesses the strength of an Honorable Supreme!”

“The ten tormented souls are namely the tormented great demon, tormented saber wielder...”

Chu Kuangren listened patiently.

After that, he laughed. “I’ll be frank with you, Brother Leng. I’m afraid I’m going to be spending quite some time inside the Inner Zone and might even venture deeper into the Core Area if there’s a chance. So do you and your men still want to come with me?”

Everyone was so shocked that their faces paled.

‘Venture deeper into the Core Area?’

‘That’s a place where even the Sages feared to go!’

Brother Leng pondered for a while before he replied, “Brother Chu, I know you’re an extraordinary person and have some plans of your own, hence I won’t comment on that. Since my men and I are weak, we shall leave on our own for fear that we might hold you back on your journey.”

That was the reality.

The Inner Zone was already chocked full of dangers and risks, let alone the Core Area.

Leng Changkong did not want to drag both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu behind if he and his men were to have trouble facing any horrifying or dangerous encounters.

Leaving them was the best option for them.

Although the others were slightly disappointed when they heard this, they could only accept it since it was Leng Changkong’s decision.

Besides, Leng Changkong was right.

Anyone with their level of strength was not suited to explore in the Inner Zone at all.
