Chapter 141 - The Legion Of Demon Beast
Looking at the pleading expression on Hu\'er\'s face, Ling Chen remained silent. At the same time, he was very conflicted.
On one hand, he didn\'t want to put Hu\'er\'s life in danger because this incoming battle wasn\'t something a puny 6th rank demon beast could take part in. Not to mention they were already greatly outnumbered.
Her presence would be more like a burden or a liability rather than an asset. On the other hand, he didn\'t want to deprive her of the right to take revenge for her clan.
He also understood Hu\'er\'s desire to participate in that battle. He would have done the same thing if he was her position.
If someone were to destroy the Heavenly Demon Sect and killed his father, he would have chased that person to the end of the world and killed that bastard even if it meant putting his life in harm\'s way.
Ling Chen calmed his thoughts and looked at Hu\'er again. He was quite unwilling, but he ultimately agreed: " fine, you can come with us."
After saying that, a little dark root suddenly appeared in his palm which he then threw over to Hu\'er before saying:" Crush this if you find yourself in a dire situation with no way out."
"Thank You." Flatly answered Hu\'er in a cold tone.
Even though her voice was cold and emotionless, Ling Chen could feel a hint of gratitude within.
"It\'s nothing." Ling Chen answered with a slight smile on his face.
However, in the next moment, Ling Chen\'s face suddenly turned solemn as he abruptly stood up. At the same time, his pair of demonic pupils shone brightly as he looked into the distance, revealing a glare capable of crossing time and space itself.
"They\'re here" Ling Chen gravely said.
Before his voice could even fade away;
"Rumble!"
The entire area began to shake violently as though there was a devastating earthquake. The ground seemed on the verge of being torn asunder.
At this moment, whether it was Ling Chen, Ling Lei, and the others, they all stood up and went outside.
As soon as they got out, the first thing that greeted them was a sea of demon beasts. Whether it was the sky or the ground, all they could see was demon beasts. They were everywhere.
The terrifying tide of demon beasts came through all four directions as if they were trying to surround the mountain cave where Ling Chen and the others were currently staying.
"Rumble!" More detonations came from the distance, seemingly taking a long time for the sound to arrive.
_Roar_ ~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, the shattering roar of the demon beasts reverberated throughout the whole demon beast territory.
Their roars were so loud that even the stones and the trees in the whole outer area started trembling from the sound.
Their terrible auras swept through the entire outer area of the Saint Tiger Demon Beast\'s Domain.
No one knew how many demon beasts were actually living in the Saint Tiger Demon Beast\'s Domain but it looked like doomsday right now.
There were so many of them that they looked like a land tsunami.
Though this was the Saint Tiger Demon Beast\'s Clan Domain, the diversity of demon beasts rushing towards them from all directions even astonished Ling Chen.
This was truly a sight to behold. They came in all forms and sizes.
Apes that were as tall as the highest mountain, traveling a hundred miles with each step, leaving gigantic footprints behind. Three headed-serpents spanning for hundreds of miles, rhinoceros trampling several giant rocks and trees... Geographic barriers didn\'t deter them at all.
Golden lions from to top to the bottom, looking quite gallant. Elephants that were so huge that their legs looked like four pillars holding Heaven. One stomp from it could shatter a mountain.
An 8th Rank demon beast required at least a peak Martial Sovereign to fight against. However, there were several thousands of them at the moment.
Meanwhile, a cloud of black light was coming from the far away at an incredible speed. That cloud of black light was made up of thousands of Black Eagles and other type flight or aerial demon beasts.
The demon beasts turned the whole outer area of the Saint Tiger Demon Beast\'s Clan Domain into a primordial world and these massive and numerous demon beasts were its rulers. Other races or species were paled in comparison and were as insignificant as insects in front of them.
"Screech!" Suddenly, a gigantic demon beast landed from the sky on the nearby mountain next to Ling Chen and the others.
It was a Red Eagle with flames wrapping around its tail as well as an all-piercing beak.
It was a rare bird type demon beats with traces of divine blood running through its veins.
It emitted an aura that can cause even a Martial Venerable to tremble. Its domineering aura was not just for show since it actually had the strength to back it up.
The rider was a tall handsome young man fully adorned in armor; He sat straight as his back carried the blue sky, making time standstill.
His body was emanating an overwhelming vicious and beastly aura while he carried a long spear in his right hand.
"Rumble!" A dozen more or so beasts descended from the hill above and surrounded them.
They were all eagles and other various aerial demon beasts. Each of them emitted a powerful aura like a surging wave.
In just a short moment, Ling Chen and his group were already surrounded by more than a hundred thousand demon beats.
Even when he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of powerful and vicious demon beast, Ling Chen still remained as calm as usual.
The first thing he did was to look at the expression on his children\'s face. Seeing how they were boiling with excitement as their will to battle soared into the sky, Ling Chen couldn\'t help but smile.
Especially, Ling Wei, he was trembling and shivering from excitement.
"The highway to Heaven is broad and its gate is wide, yet you dare to barge into the narrow path and the close gate of Hell. Foolish human, your arrogance will be your demise today." Loudly declared the young man sitting on the back of the Red Eagle while looking at Ling Chen with his eyes filled hatred.
Upon hearing the young man\'s declaration, Ling Chen slowly shifted his gaze towards his direction and lazily said:" I don\'t give a damn about Heaven or Hell. Whoever threatens the safety of my children and my family shall know my wrath."
"Such impudence! From all my years traveling through the Human territories, I\'ve never encountered an arrogant human like you."
A cold and archaic voice rang out in the sky as an old man shrouded with a ferocious and divine aura suddenly appeared in the sky accompanied by a middle-aged man.
The old man had a divine aura as if he was sitting on a throne high up in the sky. His pair of cold eyes were emitting a frightening light. The sharpness of this light instilled a frightening chill in all.
The middle-aged man\'s had spirited bearing combined with a composed presence created a unique charm with momentum as if he was a War-God
His eyes were especially cold and sharp like an owl. People\'s hair would stand on end if they were stared at by this pair of eyes.
Their presence alone was enough to suppress this location and rendering others out of breath.
Furthermore, the moment these two people appeared, all the demon beasts below were quivering in fear.
With a pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes that were capable of consuming one soul, the old man glared at Ling Chen and his group and emotionlessly uttered: "Since you are here, don\'t even dream about leaving!"
"Is there something wrong with your head old man. I waste four days just to come here so what gives you the impression that I want to leave when I just got here."
"As a responsible father, I need to feed my famished children until they are full before leaving." Added Ling Chen while looking at the surrounding demon beasts with a wicked smile on his face.
"Still boasting even right before your doom." This time, it was the middle-aged man that spoke. His gaze became even more frightening as he coldly declared:" If you hand over the Key now, we can grant you a painless death. If not, then we will let all of you experience a fate worse than death!"
"You must be the Legendary Eagle Saint. I didn\'t know you were going to ally yourself with Bai Wudi. You could have waited until I kill him and you\'d become the new Emperor of the Demon Beast Territory. Now, I\'ll have to pluck all your feathers." Calmly answered Ling Chen as he leisurely gave the Eagle Saint pitiful a look and shook his head.
Ling Chen\'s mockery left the Eagle Saint with an extremely ugly expression. He was shaking with anger as he was looking at him.
"Hahaha…" The Saint Beast Bai Wudi suddenly busted into crazed laughter as he was looking at Ling Chen.
" Human, it\'s good to be confident but being too confident will become one\'s demise." Said Bai Wudi with a sneer.
"Foolish thing, I\'ll show you a fate worse than death today! Kill all of his companions!" He coldly ordered.
