347: Is this a savage?

At this moment, inside the Ma Family Inn, Black Guard stared at the Chen Family Courtyard with a livid expression.

"What is the origin of this Chen family? How can there be all sorts of demons and monsters?"

Black Guard's brows remained furrowed for a long time; the Chen family was quite troublesome now.

Originally, his plan was to spread the news of the Hundred Corpse Tomb's emergence for a month.

If Chen Heng didn't appear after a month, he would abduct the Chen family members to force Chen Heng to show himself.

He had already inquired and found that Chen Heng was extremely protective of his own, so using his family to pressure him was the best option.

But now the situation was different; he truly had to weigh his options if he wanted to forcibly abduct the Chen family members.

Originally, this Chen family only had two demon kings, the White Tiger, and one Black Flood Dragon demon king, as well as an Unmelting Bone Short-legged Dog.

In this situation, Black Guard was confident that he could eliminate or capture all these demons and the Unmelting Bone Short-legged Dog by himself.

However, two days ago, a large wave of Cultivators, like refugees, arrived; the strongest among them had even reached Soul Transformation.

Oh, and there was also a Buddhist Son from the Esoteric Sect with them, and the Esoteric Sect's techniques were the most troublesome.

Actually, even with that group of Soul Transformation Cultivators, they weren't impossible to deal with; it would just take a bit more effort, but the mission could still be completed.

But just yesterday, three Undergoing Tribulation old monsters, damn it, showed up! One of them was Hua Luandao, who caused a bloodbath back in the day!

Now Black Guard started to get a headache; he couldn't understand what charm this Chen family had to attract so many powerhouses.

"Sigh..." Black Guard let out a long sigh; he was already getting a headache now.

He could handle this situation, but it would definitely come at a considerable cost.

"But that Flood Dragon has appeared less frequently these past few days. Could something be wrong?"

Black Guard narrowed his eyes; he had to find a way to inquire about the news inside the Chen Family Courtyard.

However, Black Guard had no idea that the strongest in the entire Qiyang City was not those three Undergoing Tribulation old monsters, but Snake Green in Chen Heng's home.

She carried Chen Heng's Black Phoenix imprint and could borrow 30% of Chen Heng's power at any time.

Just this 30% of power could completely lift the entire Qiyang City and then smash it onto Black Guard.

If he had known about this, he would never have thought of targeting Chen Heng's family.

"Shadow, starting today, you will lurk in the shadow of that Little Girl from the Chen family. Make sure not to expose yourself."

Black Guard tapped the shadow on the table, and the shadow instantly vanished.

"You'd better not give me an opportunity; once I get one..."

At the same time, Chen Heng had already explored most of the world-suppressing nail with his speed.

The main reason was that the entire world-suppressing nail had been dug full of holes by the people of the Chengtian Empire, with not much wall left between the diverging paths.

However, thanks to them, Chen Heng spent most of his time lost.

The Yin Qi greatly affected Chen Heng's five senses; he couldn't even smell things dozens of meters away, only the pungent, spicy scent of Yin Qi.

"Don't disbelieve it; I'll have to ask them where the stuff went later."

Chen Heng sighed and flew towards his ultimate goal.

Along the way, Chen Heng didn't encounter anything that could be called 'living' or 'biological.'

Apart from some Yin Qi, it didn't seem as dangerous as Grand Elder and the others had said.

"This isn't much, a bunch of trash."

The hole in Wu Xiong's mouth had already appeared before Chen Heng, about a thousand meters ahead.

"How deep is this world-suppressing nail stuck in the ground? It's already almost four thousand kilometers."

Exploring this world-suppressing nail of the Chengtian Empire was quite easy, as it was already riddled with holes, allowing unimpeded passage everywhere.

Chen Heng roughly estimated the size of this world-suppressing nail; its diameter was at least forty kilometers, and its depth reached over four thousand kilometers.

"It really is a long, slender nail stuck in the ground."

But just as Chen Heng was marveling at how formidable his Senior was, a dark brown hand suddenly appeared before him.

"Holy crap!"

The sudden appearance of the large hand startled Chen Heng, and he had no time to brake.

Chen Heng crashed hard into that large hand.

With a bang, the large hand that tried to intercept Chen Heng instantly turned into bloody foam, and Chen Heng slowly came to a stop.

"Ah!" A voice full of pain echoed from the shadows. After landing, Chen Heng walked towards the source of the sound.

Behind the yin wind, a man wearing only a piece of animal hide appeared before Chen Heng.

Behind him were several children and women also wrapped in animal hides.

"Is this a monster from the Yin Side?" Chen Heng rubbed his chin. It didn't seem very threatening like this.

Other than resembling a savage, he seemed no different from himself.

"Oww!" The savage man's severed arm quickly regenerated, and he let out a roar at Chen Heng.

"Oh, wow, he recovers quite fast." Chen Heng was a little surprised; this person's recovery speed was almost as fast as his own.

Chen Heng was still enthusiastically observing the savage, but he didn't notice the blood-red pattern on his back opening its eyes.

The surrounding Yin Qi rapidly surged into the savage's body, emitting a terrifying oppressive aura.

"What kind of move is this?" Chen Heng's eyes lit up; that totem seemed capable of absorbing Yin Qi to strengthen the body.

The savage roared and lunged at Chen Heng.

Initially, Chen Heng didn't take it seriously; he was quite confident in his own strength and physical resilience.

But when the savage's fist smashed into his chest, Chen Heng realized that this guy's strength was also terrifying.

It was almost comparable to the Evil Dragon's slap!

With a loud bang, Chen Heng flew out like a cannonball, embedding himself into the metal wall.

"Holy crap, that's a lot of force."

Chen Heng rubbed his slightly distorted neck and pried himself out of the wall.

The savage's body quickly shrank after that punch, and his expression became listless.

"Done fighting?" Chen Heng walked up to the savage, observing the pattern on his back.

The savage made rhythmic sounds, seemingly in their language.

Unfortunately, Chen Heng didn't understand it at all; it was like talking to a chicken and a duck.

Glancing at the trembling women and children behind the savage, a bold idea suddenly popped into Chen Heng's mind.

Grabbing the savage man's head, Chen Heng gestured to the woman behind him.

Regardless of whether the woman understood or not, Chen Heng walked out of the world-suppressing nail, still holding the savage man's head.

This time, the harvest was quite significant; that pattern was definitely a good thing.
