124: Chapter 124 Devastation, Zi Yuan's Fury!

Inside the gap between buildings.

Fang Qing and the others watched this scene, their faces all grim, their eyes filled with endless grief and indignation.

Because what lay beneath Zi Yuan's feet were none other than the severed heads of their compatriots!

Emotionally speaking,

they truly wished they could tear Zi Yuan into a thousand pieces right now to avenge their fallen comrades!

But, pragmatically speaking,

they could only watch helplessly now.

Because they had all witnessed Zi Yuan's strength.

It was simply too terrifying!

Not long ago, a Saint-level Senior Student had died at Zi Yuan's hands!

Roughly estimating, this Zi Yuan was definitely not someone who had just stepped into the Saint level, but most likely possessed the terrifying strength of a Mid-Grade Saint!

Moreover, besides Zi Yuan,

more than half of the Prodigies beside him were also at the Saint level, and even those who hadn't reached the Saint level were at the peak Quasi-Saint tier.

Facing such a terrifying group,

with their current level, seeking revenge was simply a pipe dream.

Furthermore, never mind revenge,

given the current situation, they would soon be discovered.

Once discovered,

it was likely not a single one of them would survive.

For a moment,

the few exchanged glances and began communicating with their eyes.

It could be seen that aside from the backbone of the team, the strongest Saint-level Senior Student, Cheng Jian, the others were all extremely panicked.

Especially Fang Qing and Wang Xing.

They were the only two Quasi-Saints in the team, and they were already completely exhausted, their combat power greatly diminished.

Once discovered, they wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

Although they had long been prepared to accept death,

facing death for real, they couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Boom!

Boom!

Soon,

accompanied by the Alien Race Prodigies sweeping the surroundings,

they were getting closer and closer to being discovered.

If they continued to stay here waiting for death, being discovered was only a matter of time.

Perhaps due to being on the verge of despair,

Fang Qing and Wang Xing had already become somewhat resigned.

They glanced at the three Senior Students who had been protecting them, exchanged a look, and then both prepared to stand up.

Yes, they wanted to go out and draw some attention, to buy a sliver of life for the three Senior Students.

Instead of constantly being a burden,

it was better to do something meaningful.

But just as the two were halfway up, Cheng Jian pressed them back down.

Cheng Jian shook his head at the two, then turned to look at the other two Senior Students, swiftly handing over the space rings in his hands.

At this sight,

everyone present clearly understood what he intended to do, and they all anxiously shook their heads at Cheng Jian.

But Cheng Jian had already made up his mind.

"I have no attachments; let me handle this."

"After I go out, you all find the right moment and head straight for that swamp area. The terrain there is complex, there are many ferocious beasts marked with red dots, and the chances of survival are higher."

After lightly leaving these two sentences,

before the four could say anything, the next second, Cheng Jian shot out.

"There he is!"

"He finally appeared!"

"Hahaha, the first rat has been scared out!"

Instantly, the gazes of Zi Yuan and all the Alien Race Prodigies were drawn to Cheng Jian. They laughed loudly, like fishermen seeing an impatient, thrashing big fish.

Immediately after, they all began closing in on Cheng Jian, preparing to surround and net him, to capture this big fish.

And Cheng Jian, already holding the resolve to die, felt no fear, shouting loudly,

"You stinking fish and shrimp from the sea, do you dare fight one-on-one, or do you only know how to huddle together? I can tear every one of you to pieces!"

And these words clearly succeeded in provoking the anger of Zi Yuan and the others.

"Hmph! You're about to die, and you still have so much nonsense to say!"

"Your Highness Zi Yuan, leave this one to me!"

"Don't bother with this guy, talking about one-on-one, do you think we're fools?"

"That's right, let's go together! We'll twist his head off and use it as a ball to kick!"

The Alien Race Prodigies swarmed forward at once, instantly blocking all of Cheng Jian's escape routes.

In the corner, watching this scene,

Fang Qing and Wang Xing both gritted their teeth, their eyes turning red.

The two Saint-level experts beside them were the same.

However, remembering Cheng Jian's words, they dared not hesitate and immediately pulled Fang Qing and Wang Xing, speeding towards the swamp area ahead.

And this movement was quickly noticed by Zi Yuan.

"Not good! A feint to draw the tiger away from the mountain!"

Zi Yuan and the other Alien Race Prodigies all had grim expressions, realizing they had been tricked.

Just as they were preparing to split up and pursue,

Cheng Jian suddenly struck, erupting with his full cultivation, blocking the pursuing crowd.

"Before I die, none of you will take a single step!"

The next second,

countless vines surged out from the void around Cheng Jian, trapping the surrounding tens of meters within a cage of vegetation.

Immediately after, the vegetation cage began to rapidly contract, seemingly intending to crush them into meat patties.

This sight made Zi Yuan's expression extremely ugly.

It wasn't because the vegetation cage posed any danger—on the contrary, this thing posed absolutely no threat to him.

It was because he couldn't stand being toyed with.

Bang!

Zi Yuan raised his hand, and a massive purple flame directly tore through the vegetation cage like dry weeds, incidentally burning Cheng Jian into charcoal.

When Zi Yuan looked again in the direction Fang Qing and the others fled,

all he could see were a few blurry figures.

That direction led towards the swamp.

This meant it would be very difficult for them to catch up to Fang Qing and the others now.

This outcome made Zi Yuan's face extremely ugly.

And seeing Zi Yuan's expression, the other Alien Race Prodigies dared not speak, all hanging their heads.

"This kind of thing cannot happen a second time!"

Zi Yuan coldly uttered a sentence, then headed off in another direction.

And on the other side,

Fang Qing and the other three, still fleeing, now had tears streaming down their faces, while suppressing killing intent in their hearts.

This debt must be repaid in the future!

And looking across the entire Secret Realm now,

incidents similar to Fang Qing's group were unfolding everywhere.

As time went by,

both humans and the alien race had begun to slowly and successfully converge and act in groups.

...

On the beach outside the Secret Realm,

Lin Kui and the group of instructors were gazing out at the sea, their faces full of worry.

Compared to previous named Secret Realms,

this Secret Realm had been open for a much longer time.

They couldn't see the situation inside the Secret Realm and could only pray that their students were unharmed.

Of course,

being completely unharmed was impossible.

Every time they entered a Secret Realm, there would always be a certain mortality rate.

At best, they could only hope the mortality rate would be a little lower.
