Hu Qing, on the other hand, didn't have much of a change. He knew that he was no match for the other party. Even though he felt a little embarrassed, thankfully, everyone around him was his own people, and he wasn't afraid of being seen.
"To think that Junior Brother Lin's strength would be this strong. This time around, I'll have to take care of you in the Earth Abyssal Demon Cave." Hu Qing cupped his fists.
Even though he had lost, Hu Qing felt that this trip to the Earth Abyssal Demon Cave could be considered as an opportunity.
The stronger one's teammates were, the safer they would be.
Bing Linxing and Ru Wanshu looked at Lin Fan squarely as well. This was an acknowledgement towards a powerful being.
"We'll gather tomorrow. I'll take my leave first." Hu Qing said.
After Hu Qing and the others left, Lin Fan prepared to head back to prepare himself. He then cupped his fists together with Su Hongchen and headed back to the Saint Devil Peak.
Next day …
Everyone gathered and headed out together.
After a few days of traveling, they finally arrived at their destination.
They floated gently in the void.
Lin Fan looked at the endless abyss below and could not help but exclaim out.
This abyss was like a black hole that was so deep that one could not see the bottom at all. It was oddly silent and extremely horrifying.
"This is the Earth Abyssal Demon Cave. The living beings inside belong to the Earth Demons and love to devour our Essence Blood. Therefore, after we enter, I hope that everyone can work together and not act alone." Hu Qing said.
"If we meet other sects, we must be careful as well. In this place, the most dangerous ones aren't the Earth Demons, but the disciples of the other sects."
…
Lin Fan listened carefully and more or less understood what was going on.
Everyone then turned into streaks of light and dove into the Earth Abyssal Demon Cave.
The moment they entered the Earth Abyssal Demon Cave, it was pitch black. Even if they were of the Immemorial Ancient state, their eyes were still blocked and they could only sense everything with their consciousness.
"You must not absorb this turbid Demonic Qi. There are many impurities within. There are also many people who have fallen here, and their grievances have been infused into this turbid Demonic Qi."
Lin Fan secretly absorbed a little bit of it.
This turbid Demonic Qi surged into Lin Fan's body and turned into a series of demons that howled out in rage. But in the blink of an eye, they were suppressed by the system and converted into the purest experience points.
This turbid Demonic Qi was the same as Spirit Qi, just that it wasn't suitable for them to absorb.
Not long after, everyone stepped onto the ground.
The ground here was pitch-black and unusually hard. In the void, there was a blood-red full moon that illuminated the Earth Abyssal Demon Cave.
The earth fire erupted, the raging flames raising the temperature of this place by quite a bit.
"Everyone, be careful. We're going deeper."
For the time being, there was nothing out of the ordinary in the surroundings. Hu Qing seemed to be very familiar with this place. He then brought Lin Fan and the others along as they headed in.
After an unknown period of time.
Lin Fan and the others stopped.
"Be careful. There's a group of Earth Demons up ahead," Hu Qing said.
Lin Fan focused his gaze and saw that the Earth Demons looked no different from humans. However, their bodies were completely black and their scales were distinct. Under the illumination of the blood moon, they gave off a cold light.
An Earth Demon tore apart a disciple of a certain sect and drank his blood.
"This is a disciple of the Hua Yue Sect." Su Hongchen said softly, "I've been to this sect before. It's a small sect. To think that all of their disciples would have fallen in the hands of these Earth Demons. What a pity."
Lin Fan looked over and saw that the cultivation states of these Earth Demons were mostly at the divine celestial state. There were even some of them who were of the Supreme state.
ROAR!
All of a sudden, an enraged roar rang out.
Within that group of Earth Demons, there was an Earth Demon that suddenly howled out in rage.
That pitch-black body of his expanded out continuously as the Blood Qi in the surroundings started gathering over.
"That Earth Demon is the leader. Judging by the situation right now, it seems like it's about to level up." Ru Wanshu said.
"Should we strike out now? Once this Earth Demon levels up, it'll be an Ancient full cultivation state being. That inner core is something good as well." Bing Linxing said.
"Alright, let's go then." Hu Qing checked out the surroundings. However, he did not discover any other groups of Earth Demons.
"Go!"
Pshew!
Everyone's bodies moved furiously as they charged out at the Earth Demons.
"DAMNED LIVING BEINGS! HOW DARE THEY AMBUSH YOUR LEADER WHILE YOUR LEADER IS BREAKING THROUGH? DEVOUR THEM!" The leader howled out as the surrounding Earth Demons surged out at Lin Fan and the others in a frenzy.
Urgh!
Towards these ants, Lin Fan wasn't bothered at all. Even if he were to kill them, he wouldn't gain much experience points.
Raising his finger, he killed all of these Earth Demons as though he was slicing up little chicks.
Even if some of the Earth Demons had a cultivation state of the Supreme state, they were still extremely insignificant in the hands of Lin Fan.
"HAHA! We've struck the jackpot! To think that the underlings of these Earth Demons would all be trash!" Hu Qing laughed out wildly.
He then roared out as his body was like a tiger as he bolted out at the Earth Demon who was in the midst of breaking through.
And just at this moment, Lin Fan's brows furrowed.
"Watch out!" Lin Fan reminded.
But just at this moment, the Earth Demon who was in the midst of breaking through burst out in laughter. The ground around him exploded out as a pair of pitch black demonic hands extended out from beneath the ground, grabbing out at Hu Qing's chest.
Out of nowhere, there were Earth Demons appearing all around Hu Qing.
The cultivation states of these Earth Demons were all at Immemorial Ancient state lower level and middle level.
Caught off guard …
Hu Qing's face lost all color. But, it was all too late.
"HAHA! Living beings are truly foolish indeed! Your Leader here has tricked countless living beings with just a little scheme of mine! Do you guys really think that our Earth Demons are that easy to kill?"
"You guys require our cores, but our Earth Demons require your Essence Blood!"
"Living beings, go and die for Your Leader here!" The leader of the Earth Demons roared out in laughter. To think that he would stop his breakthrough! That sharp demonic hand of his grabbed out at Hu Qing!
"Hu Qing …!" Su Hongchen and the others were startled as they exclaimed out.
Lin Fan's brows furrowed. Moving his feet slightly, his body disappeared from where he was instantly.
"Slay!"
At this moment, Lin Fan deployed So Near, Yet So Far. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Hu Qing. His body jerked as a sharp Sword Will formed a semicircle that slashed out at these Earth Demons.
Urgh!
In the blink of an eye!
The bodies of these Earth Demons ruptured instantly as pitch black fresh blood sprayed out everywhere.
All of this had happened in a thousandth of a second.
It was only after Lin Fan had killed all of these Earth Demons that everyone could finally see the situation before them clearly.
"Are you alright?" Lin Fan stood there and asked calmly.
Hu Qing looked at Lin Fan with a face of astonishment, as though he could not believe everything that was happening before him.
He could not even see clearly what was going on earlier on.
By the time he came to his senses, this man before him had already killed the Earth Demons.
"Thank you." Hu Qing's voice was trembling slightly. He could feel that the strength of Lin Fan was way too horrifying.
Even Su Hongchen and the others were stunned for a moment before gathering over.
"Junior Brother Lin, your strength …!"
Lin Fan smiled out calmly, "Everyone, watch out. The intelligence of these Earth Demons isn't low, and they know how to bait us."
Right after he had killed the leader of the Earth Demons, the system rang out with the notifications of experience points increment.
This was a pretty decent feeling.
