361: Chapter 361 Stepping into the Sea of ​​Red Spider Lilies, Shattering Ox-Head and Horse-Face with a Single Punch!

The old man's body expanded rapidly like an inflating balloon, and a large amount of black blood seeped from the surface of his skin.

The self-destruction energy of the Late Stage Soul Transformation Stage surged wildly through his Meridians, threatening to explode completely at any moment.

Su Yang's gaze was cold as he pressed his left hand directly against the old man's swollen lower abdomen, right at the Dantian.

Within his palm, pure white flames instantly bored into the old man's body.

"Trying to take someone down with you? In your dreams."

Su Yang's voice was flat, without any emotional fluctuation.

As the pure white flames entered his body, the old man's bloated form was like a deflating ball, instantly shriveling up.

The incomparably violent self-destruction energy was burned away completely upon meeting the pure white flames, without even a single spark splashing out.

"Ah—!"

The old man let out a desperate scream.

His features twisted and deformed in extreme agony. Pure Yang True Fire ignited all his internal organs from the inside.

In less than three seconds.

The Late Stage Soul Transformation old monster turned directly into a pile of white ash, drifting to the ground through Su Yang's fingers.

Not even a sliver of his Divine Soul managed to escape.

From within the ashes, a gray bead fell out.

Inside the bead was the phantom of a miniature bronze bell, emitting pure Divine Soul power.

Su Yang picked up the bead and casually tossed it to Chu Ling behind him.

"Eat it. It's very nourishing."

Chu Ling's ice-blue eyes lit up as she caught it steadily.

Without any hesitation, she opened her rosy little mouth and swallowed the bead in one gulp.

Eerie blue cold qi instantly surged.

A hint of a satisfied blush appeared on Chu Ling's beautiful face, and her cultivation advanced a few more notches.

"Thank you, Boss!"

Chu Ling thanked him obediently, her voice sweet.

Bai Li withdrew her purple demonic power shield and stepped forward.

Her white dress fluttered, making her look like a celestial fairy from the heavens.

"Hubby's True Fire is getting more and more powerful, even able to instantly suppress the self-destruction of a Late Stage Soul Transformation cultivator." Bai Li lightly fanned herself with her silk fan, her purple eyes full of admiration.

Mary flapped her black bat wings and descended from mid-air.

Her hot body, dressed in a black lace bikini, was very eye-catching.

"Stinky old bones, it's best they're burned to ash. This place is full of the smell of moldy, rotten meat; it's not fun at all." Mary stood with her hands on her hips, her face full of disgust.

Qin Xueji, wearing a tight professional suit and high heels, walked over.

The pressure from the old man's self-destruction just now had made her legs go weak with fear.

But seeing Su Yang's tall and straight back, her sense of security was instantly maximized.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

Su Yang clapped his hands and walked to the edge of the large crater smashed out by the giant bronze bell.

The bottom of the pit was completely charred black.

But amidst the charred rocks, a stone slab flickered with a faint red light.

Su Yang jumped into the pit and kicked the stone slab.

Bang!

The stone slab shattered, revealing a set of black stairs leading underground.

The stairs were bottomless, with gusts of cold, gloomy wind blowing out.

"Let's go down and take a look." Su Yang led the way down the stairs.

The four women followed closely behind him.

The passage was spacious, with no decorations on the walls.

After walking for about half an hour, the view ahead suddenly brightened.

Everyone stepped out of the passage to see a vast underground plain before them.

There were no stones or soil on the plain.

The ground was covered with bright red flowers.

The flowers had no leaves, only slender red petals, like pairs of ghostly hands reaching toward the sky.

The parched ground was covered in red flowers as far as the eye could see.

As a breeze blew, the sea of flowers undulated, emitting an unusually sweet and cloying fragrance.

"A sea of equinox flowers."

Bai Li's elegant brows furrowed slightly as she spoke a warning.

"Everyone, hold your breath. The pollen has a strong hallucinogenic effect; inhaling too much will make one fall into an endless illusion and eventually have their essence and blood sucked dry."

Qin Xueji had the lowest cultivation. As soon as she smelled a hint of the fragrance, her eyes became blurred.

She let go of Bai Li's arm and actually walked toward the depths of the red sea of flowers with a silly smile.

"Such beautiful flowers... I want to pick one..."

Qin Xueji's voice was ethereal, and she had completely lost her reason.

Su Yang reacted very quickly, reaching out to grab Qin Xueji's shoulder.

A wave of warm Pure Yang True Qi flooded into Qin Xueji's body.

"Wake up." Su Yang gave a low shout.

Qin Xueji's whole body shook, and her eyes instantly regained their clarity.

Seeing the red flowers right in front of her, she backed away repeatedly in fear, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Boss... I'm sorry, I couldn't control my body just now."

Qin Xueji lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

"It's fine." Su Yang let go of her.

Mary flew in mid-air, waving her blood-colored claws to shred a few equinox flowers.

Red blood-like water flowed from the flowers, emitting a foul stench.

"How disgusting! These flowers grew up drinking blood!"

Mary disgustedly shook off the sap on her hands.

Su Yang looked at the vast sea of red flowers, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion.

"Since they're in the way, I'll burn them all."

Su Yang stomped his right foot heavily on the hard ground.

Boom!

Golden Pure Yang True Fire swept out wildly in all directions from the soles of his feet.

The waves of fire were like a tsunami, instantly engulfing the red sea of flowers for hundreds of meters ahead.

Upon meeting the Pure Yang True Fire, the equinox flowers let out shrill cries like a baby's wail.

The red petals twisted and struggled under the high temperature, and in less than ten seconds, they were burned into a charred, flat wasteland.

The sweet and cloying fragrance was completely purified, and the air returned to normal.

"Let's go."

Su Yang stepped onto the charred earth and strode forward.

After crossing several kilometers of charred flat ground, a black stone gate a hundred zhang high appeared ahead.

Above the stone gate were written three blood-red characters: Ghost Gate.

On both sides of the gate stood two huge stone statues dozens of meters tall.

On the left was a monster with an ox's head, holding a Mountain-Splitting Giant Axe.

On the right was a monster with a horse's face, holding a rusty iron fork.

The surfaces of the stone statues were covered in dust, making them look like inanimate objects.

But when Su Yang and the other four walked to within fifty meters of the Ghost Gate...

Crack, crack, crack!

The rocks on the surface of the stone statues began to fall off.

Blood-red light simultaneously lit up in the eyes of the two monsters.

"The scent of the living... Leave behind a toll!"

The ox-headed monster let out a roar like muffled thunder.

It raised the massive mountain-splitting axe in its hand and, with a gale that tore through the air, chopped directly down toward the top of Su Yang's head.

The horse-faced monster simultaneously swung its iron fork, blocking Su Yang's paths to the left and right.

The strength of both monsters had reached the Early Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage!

"Boss, let me handle them!"

Chu Ling's ice-blue long dress fluttered as she prepared to draw her sword.

"Step back."

Su Yang clenched his fists, and golden flames burned fiercely upon them.

"A few broken stones, and you dare to collect a toll?"

Instead of retreating, Su Yang advanced. His legs suddenly exerted force, and his body shot into the sky like a golden cannonball.

Facing the descending mountain-splitting axe, Su Yang threw a punch with a roar.

Bang!

A world-shaking explosion made the plain tremble.

The dozens-of-meters-long giant axe was like fragile glass before the Pure Yang iron fist, instantly exploding into countless stone fragments.

Su Yang's momentum didn't decrease; he landed directly in front of the ox-headed monster's chest and threw another punch.

Boom!

The ox-headed monster's massive body was punched through, a large hole appearing in its chest.

Its body collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of waste stone on the ground.

Seeing this, the horse-faced monster stabbed its iron fork viciously toward him.

Su Yang turned in mid-air, his right leg like a steel whip, heavily whipping across the horse-faced monster's neck.

Crack!

The horse-faced monster's head was kicked flying directly; its headless body swayed twice before smashing into pieces.

In less than half a minute, the two Early Stage Soul Transformation Stage guardian stone statues were beaten into a ground full of stone fragments by Su Yang's bare hands.

"Vulnerable as a single blow." Su Yang landed steadily and patted the dust off his hands.

As the two stone statues shattered...

Screeech—

The hundred-zhang-high Ghost Gate ahead made a piercing grinding sound as it slowly swung open to both sides.

The inside of the gate was pitch black and bottomless.

A deathly gloomy wind, so dense it was almost tangible, blew out from the gap in the door.

A pair of blood-red eyes, as large as houses, suddenly snapped open in the depths of the darkness, staring intently at Su Yang outside the gate.
