Seeing Pang Bo's half-bitten body, Shu Feng made a frightening face, while Chen Ruyu couldn't keep her expression cold anymore.
"The information is wrong; the tiger has broken through the 7th layer of spirit training," said Shu Feng with a frightened expression.
"What should we do now, Brother Shen?" Chen Ruyu asked worriedly.
Before he could answer, he saw the tiger running towards them. Chen Ruyu turned to run when she found her legs aching. Looking down, she saw a wind blade cut past her leg. Glancing toward the direction from which it came, she met the cold eyes of Shu Feng.
"Yo-you-you...w-why?"
"Sorry, Sister Chen, my life is more important than yours," said Shu Feng as he flew away from her.
Su Chen observed the situation from his position. As he was about to run, he heard the sound of wind slicing through the air. Reacting quickly, he jumped forward, narrowly avoiding the wind blade.
Turning back, Su Chen noticed more wind blades coming towards him. Realizing he couldn't escape or dodge them all, he made the difficult decision to sacrifice his leg to save his life. A tearing pain shot through his legs, bringing tears to his eyes as he saw them half-decapitated from the knees. Despite the intense pain, he held back the urge to cry out, focusing on the looming threat of the tiger.
Turning around, Su Chen witnessed the tiger advancing towards the helpless Chen Ruyu, who seemed to have given up. Simultaneously, he observed Shu Feng fleeing the scene, and a surge of resentment welled up in Su Chen's eyes.
Enduring the pain, Su Chen employed blood manipulation to control the blood cells in the wounded area of his leg, speeding the process of recovery several hundreds of time.
Su Chen, recognizing the potential danger of the Quill of Alzuhod, reluctantly decided to use it, aware that doing so might lead to the chronicling of his life story, including a potentially grim conclusion.
As Su Chen wrote on the paper, he carefully crafted a story within the bounds of reason, then settled down to wait, anticipating the moment when the quill would bring his narrative to life.
After dealing with Chen Ruyu, the tiger glanced at Su Chen, noting his severe injury and lower cultivation realm. Deciding that Su Chen couldn't escape, the tiger opted to pursue Shu Feng instead.
As Shu Feng traversed various paths, thinking he was almost at the edge of the outer area of Sunset Forest, a sudden chill ran down his spine. Turning around, he was met with the sight of the black tiger charging toward him.
In the midst of his anxiety, Shu Feng pondered, 'How did it follow me?' Suddenly, before he could make a move, a shout echoed from the sky.
"Beast, how dare you kill Chen're!" Looking towards the source of the sound, he found a middle-aged man approaching him.
"Deacon Chen" shouted Shu feng excitedly.
"Deacon Chen!" shouted Shu Feng excitedly.
Ignoring him, Deacon Chen's eyes turned cold as he focused on the black tiger, sending shivers down its spine.
Before it could run away, the tiger witnessed a massive slap hurtling towards it. In an instant, it was reduced to a mist of blood.
After that, he Observed Shu Feng, Deacon Chen's eyes growing cold.
"Chen're is dead, you don't have a reason to live. You may die as well," saying this, he threw another palm at Shu Feng, causing his once happy face to become horrified.
"Noooooo deacon Chen!" Along with this sound, another cloud of blood appeared.
Looking at the blood cloud expressionlessly, he flew toward the position where Chen Ruyu died.
While he was about to arrive at the position, he heard a loud voice, "Human, how dare you kill my son."
Looking at the source of the sound, he saw a bigger black tiger coming towards him.
Coldly snorting, he flew towards it.
"How dare you beast come to the outermost area from the inner area of Sunset Forest"
"Talk about yourself first, human. No human or beast above spirit training realm was allowed to come to the outer area according to the deal between your sect master and the beast king."
Ignoring the rebuttal, Deacon Chen coldly attacked the tiger.
Palms and claws clashed, resulting in Deacon Chen taking two steps back, while the tiger took three steps back. Deacon Chen seemed to have a slight advantage in strength.
Devastated by the loss of their only children, they engaged in a battle with the intent to kill.
The sounds of clashes and roars echoed for about 10 minutes until an unwilling tiger roar marked the end of the battle.
Observing the source of the sound, Su Chen witnessed a bloodied man approaching,with his left hand missing.
After reaching the spot, he went straight to Chen Ruyu's motionless form, securing it within a storage ring, then directed his focus toward Su Chen.
His aura carried a mix of sorrow and chilling rage. His gaze towards Su Chen seemed to carry the intensity that could pierce through one's soul.
Just as he was about to strike Su Chen, he suddenly felt weakened from the excess use of spiritual energy and the loss of his arm, causing him to pause.
Knowing about it beforehand, Su Chen took out the Blade of Madness from his system storage. Feeling his sanity fading away, he slashed it at Deacon Chen.
Deacon Chen recovered from his weakness and saw the blade just about to slash at him. Feeling no spiritual energy, he sneered at the naivety of Su Chen and didn't take a guard or dodge the blade.
The blade plunged into his stomach. Although, at his level, this damage was non-threatening, he was surprised at how the mortal blade pierced him.
Before he could do or say something, his consciousness was pulled into another dark space.
Here he saw thousands of different people,including individuals adorned in Pharaoh costumes, a female figure dressed in a cheongsam while concealing her face behind a paper fan, a merciless and blood-soaked butcher, and an ordinary person exhibiting a subtle yet unsettling touch of madness in their gaze and many more
Various voices surrounded him, echoing with mockery, laughter, cries, shouts, and taunts, creating a disorienting symphony that seemed to penetrate his very soul.
In the throes of approaching madness, he perceived a colossal, shapeless entity—devoid of facial features, with a peculiar cone-shaped head, fluid appendages resembling hands, and twisting tentacles. This enigmatic being loomed outside the fragments of reality, emitting a cacophony of shouts, cries, laughter, and mockery, inducing a profound sense of shattered sanity within him.
Su Chen observed Deacon Chen, who regained consciousness after a brief moment of disorientation.
The pure madness and fanaticism in Deacon Chen's eyes sent shivers down Su Chen's spine.
Tentacles, bonespurs, eyes, sarcomas, and blood began emerging from his body.
"Hehehehehahhahahahahahahahhaahhaahahahahahahahah!!! Long live the god of a myriad of countenances! The Crawling Chaos! The exalted Ny&$#t@ot#p, the harbinger of unspeakable madness! Hehehehehehahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahha"
Amidst his maniacal laughter and unhinged mutterings, his body erupted into a cloud of blood.
