324: Chapter 324 A Beautiful Angel from the Upper Realm!

"Master, within these bronze statues, the souls of living people are sealed."

Su Qingcheng glanced at the statues beside her, her voice crisp.

Jiang Yingxue nodded gently: "The Formation is very vicious. As long as someone walks past, the souls inside the statues will be awakened and launch an attack."

Su Yang didn't stop walking.

"Awakened? I'll see if they dare move."

Su Yang circulated the Pure Yang True Fire within his body.

Golden flames burned on his body's surface, illuminating the passage.

An aura of ultimate strength and Yang instantly filled the entire space.

The bronze statues had just made "clack-clack" sounds, preparing to move their joints.

Upon encountering the temperature of the Pure Yang True Fire, the souls within the statues let out shrill screams and instantly turned into wisps of green smoke.

Hundreds of tall bronze statues didn't even get a chance to act before shattering into a pile of scrap metal, scattered across the floor.

Qin Xueji looked at the fragments on the ground, and more than half of the fear in her heart vanished.

As long as she followed behind the boss, there would be no danger.

Reaching the end of the passage, a vast underground plaza appeared ahead.

In the center of the plaza stood a massive altar piled with human skulls.

Atop the altar lay a massive Vicious Beast.

The Vicious Beast had three heads, a body like a tiger, but its tail was a thick black python.

Covered in black scales, it was snoring atop the bones.

With every breath, it exhaled a puff of black poisonous mist.

"A variant of a Three-headed Hellhound?" Bai Li was somewhat surprised upon seeing the Vicious Beast's appearance. "Why is it guarding the door here?"

Su Yang walked to the edge of the plaza.

The Vicious Beast seemed to catch the scent of living humans, and its three heads lifted simultaneously.

Six blood-red eyes lit up in the darkness, staring intently at Su Yang's group.

"Roar!"

The middle head let out an earth-shaking roar.

The sound echoed through the underground plaza, shaking the surrounding rocks so that they fell one after another.

The Vicious Beast stood up, its body length reaching over twenty meters.

The tyrannical pressure of the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage swept over like a gale.

The left head opened its massive maw and spat out a ball of green poisonous fire.

The right head exhaled a blast of black Yin wind.

The middle head spat out a foul-smelling pillar of blood.

The poisonous fire, Yin wind, and blood pillar mixed together, turning into a storm of destruction that charged directly at Su Yang.

Qin Xueji's face turned pale with fright, and she hid behind Su Yang.

Su Yang stood his ground, pulling his right hand from his casual pants pocket and clenching his fingers.

"Just a malformed beast, what are you barking for?"

Facing the storm of destruction, Su Yang threw a punch.

The golden Pure Yang True Fire transformed into a dazzling fist radiance, looking like a miniature sun.

Boom!

The fist radiance and the storm collided. Without any deadlock, the Pure Yang True Fire instantly incinerated the poisonous fire, Yin wind, and blood water.

The golden light pierced through the storm and slammed hard into the middle head of the Vicious Beast.

Bang!

A loud bang.

The Vicious Beast's middle head exploded like a watermelon, black blood splashing everywhere.

The Vicious Beast let out a painful wail, its massive body pushed back repeatedly by the immense force until it crashed into the rock wall behind it.

"Boss is amazing! He blew up a head with just one punch!"

Mary cheered in mid-air, her bat wings flapping vigorously behind her.

The Vicious Beast's remaining two heads went completely insane.

It lunged desperately at Su Yang, its thick python tail whipping towards his waist with a piercing sound of wind.

Su Yang sneered.

He exerted force through his feet, his body turning into a streak of golden lightning as he instantly rushed in front of the Vicious Beast.

Avoiding the lashing tail, Su Yang's left hand grabbed the scales on the left side of the beast's neck.

His right hand ignited with fire as he aimed at the beast's right head, raining down over a dozen punches in succession.

Bang bang bang bang!

Dull thuds of fists hitting flesh rang out.

The Vicious Beast's right head was hammered into a mess of mangled flesh.

The skull shattered, scattering red and white brain matter all over the ground.

The left head struggled desperately, opening its bloody maw to bite Su Yang's arm.

"Break for me!"

Su Yang grabbed the beast's last neck with both hands and, with a sudden surge of strength from his waist, snapped it in two.

Crack!

The sound of bone snapping was crisp and loud.

The Vicious Beast's massive body crashed to the ground, completely motionless.

An ancient Vicious Beast at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation was beaten to death by Su Yang with his bare hands. The entire process took less than two minutes.

Su Qingcheng floated forward, her red clothes like fire, her beautiful face filled with infatuation.

"Master is mighty. This ugly thing is not even as good as a stray dog before Master."

Su Qingcheng's full chest heaved slightly, her eyes filled with nothing but adoration for Su Yang.

Jiang Yingxue also walked over, handing him a clean silk handkerchief.

Su Yang took the handkerchief, wiped his hands, and walked to the beast's corpse.

He kicked aside the mangled meat and found a black beast core inside. The core emitted pure, frigid energy.

Su Yang tossed the beast core to Chu Ling.

"Take it and eat it like a jelly bean."

Chu Ling caught the beast core and nodded happily: "Thank you, Boss."

Mary flew down from the air, looked at the corpse on the ground, and pouted her rosy lips.

"Boss is biased, all the good things go to Chu Ling. This ugly thing's blood is all black and murky; I don't want to drink a single drop."

Su Yang reached out and gave Mary's waist a pinch: "Stop complaining. When we find something good later, there'll be some for you."

Having dealt with the guardian beast, Su Yang looked toward the back of the plaza.

Behind the bone altar was a half-open bronze door.

Through the gap in the door, a strange light seeped out. The light was an eerie purplish-red, flickering as if it were alive.

Accompanying the purplish-red light, a very faint sound of a woman weeping drifted from behind the door.

The sobbing was intermittent, making one's skin crawl.

Qin Xueji hugged Su Yang's arm tightly, her voice trembling: "Boss, someone is crying inside."

Bai Li frowned, her purple eyes staring at the gap: "There's the scent of a living person. A living person imprisoned in the depths of the Netherworld is definitely not simple."

Su Yang's face showed no emotion as he walked toward the bronze door.

"Whether it's human or ghost, we'll know once we go in."

Su Yang walked to the door, raised his right foot, and kicked the heavy bronze door directly.

Bang!

The bronze door let out a loud bang, kicked open by sheer violent force.

The space behind the door came into view.

It was a massive circular stone chamber.

The walls of the stone chamber were covered in eerie Formation runes.

In the center of the stone chamber was a red pool.

The liquid in the pool wasn't water, but churning blood.

In the center of the blood pool stood a thick black iron pillar.

A woman was tied to the iron pillar.

The woman had disheveled hair and wore a tattered white dress.

Four iron chains as thick as wrists locked her hands and feet, pinning her firmly to the iron pillar.

The purplish-red light was precisely what was radiating from her body.

Hearing the door open, the woman slowly lifted her head.

She revealed an exquisite face.

Her features were delicate to the extreme, her skin as fair as snow, but her face bore deep exhaustion and weakness.

Tear stains still hung from the corners of the woman's eyes.

Seeing Su Yang's group, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

"Who are you? Why were you able to come here?"

The woman's voice was very weak.

Mary flew forward, looking the woman up and down.

"You're quite beautiful. How long have you been tied up here? Did you offend some enemy?"

The woman bit her lip, her eyes full of pain.

"Please, save me. I am an Immortal Envoy sent from the Upper Realm to guard the Netherworld. One hundred thousand years ago, I was ambushed by the Lord of the Netherworld and locked here to endure endless torment."

An Immortal Envoy from the Upper Realm?

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face.

"An immortal from the Upper Realm, how did you end up in such a miserable state? Chained to a pillar like a dog."

Hearing Su Yang's mockery, a flash of anger crossed the woman's face, but it was quickly replaced by weakness.

"As long as you are willing to save me, I am willing to teach you the Cultivation Techniques of the Upper Realm. I can even lead you to find legendary Immortal Artifacts!"

There was a hint of temptation in the woman's voice.

Qin Xueji tugged at Su Yang's sleeve: "Boss, she says she's an immortal. Should we save her?"

Bai Li stared at the woman, her silk fan swaying gently.

"Hubby, be careful of a trap. The aura on this woman is very strange. Although there is Immortal Qi, it's mixed with deep evil thoughts."

Su Yang looked at the woman tied to the iron pillar and took two steps forward.

"I can save you."

A ball of golden fire rose from Su Yang's right hand, illuminating the entire blood pool.

"However, this young master has a rule for saving people. If I save you, your life is mine. From now on, you'll be my maid, serving tea and pouring water. If you agree, just nod."

Upon hearing this, the woman's beautiful face instantly contorted.

"You, a mere Mortal, dare to make an Immortal Envoy from the Upper Realm your maid! You are simply audacious!"

Su Yang sneered and turned to leave.

"If you don't agree, then forget it. Just stay tied up here. Let's go."

Seeing Su Yang actually leaving, the woman became completely frantic.

"Wait! Don't go! I agree!"

The woman shouted loudly, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Su Yang stopped and turned around.

"It would have been over if you'd said that earlier. Such a waste of time."

With a wave of his right hand, a streak of golden fire transformed into a longsword and slashed directly at the black iron chains locking the woman.

Clang!

The high temperature of the Pure Yang True Fire instantly melted through the iron chains.

Losing her restraints, the woman slid down from the iron pillar.

The moment her feet touched the surface of the blood pool.

A strange smile suddenly appeared at the corners of the woman's mouth.

Her originally weak aura instantly surged, and a wave of black Devilish Qi erupted from her body!
