"A bunch of old geezers, now only realizing fear?"
"Unfortunately, it's already too late. Once I break this damned formation, not one of you will be able to escape."
The mocking voice echoed in the cave, and through the incessantly striking demonic qi, one could barely make out a formation that was already in shambles.
The faces of the gathered human experts were unsightly, among them a black-robed old man said in a deep voice:
"Hong Jiu, even if you break free today, so what? You might have been at the Saint Level in the past, but after being trapped for tens of thousands of years, even if you're freed now you're merely at the peak of the Emperor level. Do you truly think you can escape from us?"
The old man clearly knew the identity of the demon beast imprisoned below and spoke without any courtesy.
"To think that you ant-like humans, who aren't even at the Saint Level, could imagine slaying me, is utterly delusional!"
"Today, I want to see how you intend to kill me!"
