262: Something's wrong with the scales

“I have endured humiliation and heavy burdens until now, and finally, the time has come for me to see the light of day and leave this cursed place. There's only one last step, and absolutely no accidents can happen!”

The Yao Beast's face was somewhat ferocious.

It had been Sealed for over two thousand years, and during that time, endless loneliness and despair enveloped it.

Especially because, for that slim chance of leaving this cursed place, it had sacrificed too much.

At this final moment, no accidents were allowed to happen.

“Even if this kid comes from a School, I must give it my all.”

“Besides, the difficulty of joining a School is so great, it's unlikely this kid is a School successor.”

“Even if he is, what then? I refuse to believe that people from a School can truly be so omniscient as to know what's happening in the Sealed Land!”

The Yao Beast said, gritting its teeth.

It was just a little bit away.

And Shen Xi's appearance happened to bridge that tiny gap.

To achieve its goal, the Yao Beast no longer cared about anything...

“The sixth group is also gone?”

“The seventh group is gone...”

“This kid has eliminated five more groups, and already one hundred thousand Yao Beasts have died by his hand!”

“How many trump cards does he still have?!”

The Demon Beast Leaders were almost going crazy.

They witnessed with their own eyes Shen Xi activating Blood Rust again and again, killing large numbers of Yao Beasts.

One hundred thousand Yao Beasts had already been annihilated.

This number made even the Demon Beast Leaders feel a pang of pain!

They hadn't expected Shen Xi to be so terrifying, possessing so many trump cards.

At this rate, how many Yao Beasts would have to die to kill Shen Xi?

“Again, we're fortunate we didn't act rashly, otherwise, we would all be corpses now!”

“Have you noticed something?”

“What is it?”

“Since the Scale Armor appeared, it hasn't reacted at all?”

“Oh right! We always thought the Scale Armor could deliver a fatal blow to Shen Xi at a critical moment, but in the end, the Scale Armor was as if it didn't exist, watching the Yao Beasts die!”

“Hiss! Why do I feel something is wrong?”

The Demon Beast Leaders finally reacted with belated realization.

Their expressions were extremely grim.

Why were these Yao Beasts fighting so desperately?

On one hand, it was for their faith, and on the other hand, it was because the Scale Armor gave them confidence.

They were certain that if there was real danger, the Scale Armor would protect them immediately.

Otherwise, why would the Scale Armor appear at such a time?

With this thought, the Yao Beasts fought fearlessly.

Because they believed they wouldn't die.

But what was the result?

One hundred thousand Yao Beasts had already died, and the Scale Armor still showed no reaction.

This made the Demon Beast Leaders can't help but suspect.

Could it be that the Scale Armor's appearance was just to make the Yao Beasts die in vain?

Didn't the ancestors leave treasures to protect their descendants?

But how could it allow its descendants to die one after another?

This was clearly unreasonable!

Those involved are confused, while bystanders see clearly.

The Yao Beasts hadn't realized this yet.

But the Demon Beast Leaders, who had been observing in secret, finally reacted with belated realization.

Shen Xi also had doubts.

Ever since the Scale Armor appeared, Shen Xi had been cautious.

The aura emanating from the Scale Armor was too astonishing, which made him have to be careful.

To deal with the Scale Armor, he saved all the Nirvana Realm Blood Rust, only using lower Realm Blood Rust.

This was to prevent himself from being without means to respond if the Scale Armor suddenly attacked.

But now so many Yao Beasts had died, how could the Scale Armor still show no reaction?

Coupled with the fact that the Scale Armor appeared neither too early nor too late, only waiting until the Yao Beasts were about to retreat, this further confirmed Shen Xi's guess.

“This Scale Armor is a facade, meant to make these Yao Beasts fearless and exhaust my trump cards!”

“It's just a treasure, it can't have such schemes; there must be someone manipulating it from behind.”

“Who could it be? The Demon Beast Leaders? Or someone else?”

The more Shen Xi thought about it, the more he felt alarmed.

If it was the Demon Beast Leaders, it would be fine; as the number of killed Yao Beasts increased, Shen Xi's life-saving Blood Rust trump cards also increased, and according to the current trend, these Yao Beasts would eventually die by his hand.

But if not... then it would be a bit terrifying!

This meant that there was a guy hiding in the dark, peeking at everything.

And the Demon Beast Leaders absolutely did not know of their existence.

So what was this guy's origin?

Shen Xi thought while killing the Yao Beasts.

Just then, the voice of the guardian Little Doll, who had previously revealed the Sealed Land had entry and exit restrictions, suddenly sounded.

“Holy cow, are you a monster, kid? How long have I been asleep? Less than a few days, and you've already broken one percent of the Seal?!”

Little Doll couldn't help but shriek in surprise.

Not long ago, Shen Xi had only broken one ten-thousandth of the Seal, and in just a few short days, he had reached one percent?

If Little Doll knew that Shen Xi had actually only been continuously breaking the Blood Rust Seal in the last few hours, it would be even more shocked.

In a few hours, breaking one percent of the Blood Rust Seal that had troubled countless proud sons of heaven who successfully passed the Tower of the Heavens for hundreds of years, was simply a fantasy.

“Just a fluke, just a fluke.”

Shen Xi said humbly.

In fact, breaking the Seal had nothing to do with him.

It was all the System's credit.

However, this also showed the System's extraordinary power.

As long as there was enough demon beast lifespan, the System could break the problem that had troubled countless Martial Artists for millions of years.

At the same time, the System could do this right under Little Doll's nose, making Little Doll completely unaware, even thinking it was Shen Xi's achievement.

This method was astonishing.

One must know that Little Doll was personally refined by the great expert who created the Tower of the Heavens and possessed profound creation abilities.

Even Secluded Factions could be destroyed with a flick of a finger, so one can imagine how terrifying it was!

“How did you do it, kid?!”

Little Doll shrieked sharply.

If Shen Xi breaking one ten-thousandth of the Seal before had given Little Doll a glimmer of hope, that hope was extremely slim, like a desperate measure.

But now, Little Doll was full of confidence in Shen Xi.

Breaking one percent of the Seal in a few days meant that if this continued, Shen Xi was very likely to completely break the Seal.

And, to be bolder, perhaps Shen Xi could complete this task in the Xiantian Realm.

This was an achievement that only its master could accomplish in his youth!

“I want to see what else that broken sword guy has to complain about!”
