"Elder Dagu, what's going on?"
Seeing the burly youth die tragically, many of the Azure Wood Manor separatists turned afraid. If they had been the ones to scout the path, they would have ended up in the same state. It would truly be a case of not even leaving a corpse behind.
The purple-robed elder's face twitched slightly. His expression was extremely ugly as he said through gritted teeth, "The Heaven and Earth array in the Blood Desert is difficult to understand. It's inevitable that there will be some accidental mistakes in the path I'm trying to figure out."
Was it unavoidable?
The "inevitable" might sound easy to say, but to the pathfinders, it was the outcome of being reduced to a puddle of blood and evaporating.
"What about that punk named Yi Yun? How did he predict that he would end up in a perilous situation? "
Rooster asked. Yi Yun's words from before had left him feeling a lingering fear.
"Hmph! It was just sheer luck. How can a junior with such a low cultivation level be able to see through the worldly forces in the Blood Desert? He was just making irresponsible remarks. Who doesn't know how to talk about life and death? He was just lucky to have guessed it correctly! "
The purple-robed elder said disdainfully. Among the crowd, there were people who felt the same way. It was very normal for Yi Yun to curse during the argument. It was just a coincidence that he had hit the mark.
"Then what about the pathfinders?"
A young man asked. Everyone looked at each other. On this path where "mistakes are inevitable", who would dare to be first?
Furthermore, the strangest thing about the Blood Desert was that before a warrior stepped onto the deathlands, there was nothing strange about them. Whether it was visually or with one's perception, everything was normal. However, once a person stepped onto the deathlands, their flesh and bones would melt. It felt like some sort of law had triggered the energy in a warrior's body, causing the warrior to melt from the inside out.
The purple-robed elder snorted coldly, "It's just a Blood Desert. It's not even a thousand steps away. Even if there's danger, it is limited. All of you are on the path of martial arts. How can you shrink back from a tiny bit of danger? From now on, all of you will take turns to scout the path. Each of you will take ten steps before retreating. Life and death will be decided by the heavens! "
The purple-robed elder gave the order. As the inferring person of the array formation, the purple-robed elder naturally did not need to step forward.
There were a few Elders from the Azure Wood Manor separatists who did not plan on stepping forward either.
This was the might brought about by strength. Those juniors simply could not voice any objections.
A young man was chosen, and he walked in front, trembling with fear. This person was thin and weak, and he gave off the feeling that he was too weak to stand up to the wind.
It seemed that the purple-robed old man's deduction was effective. This junior didn't even dare to breathe heavily. After taking ten steps, he was safe and sound.
Following that, it was the lion-furred youth who had previously mocked Yi Yun.
The lion-furred youth felt very guilty, but he could only bite the bullet and walk forward. Every two or three steps, he would not forget to look back at Yi Yun.
Probably because he was too afraid of stepping into a perilous situation, the lion-furred youth wanted to grasp every bit of information in his surroundings. It was as though he wanted to find clues from Yi Yun's expression. Even though he was certain that Yi Yun's prediction was a complete coincidence, he could not control his eyes.
This complicated and contradictory state of mind was something that even the lion-furred youth could not explain.
It was not easy for the lion-furred youth to finish his ninth step. He subconsciously looked back at Yi Yun, but this time, Yi Yun did not remain silent. He casually stretched his shoulders and said, "The courage of all of you to throw yourselves to your deaths is truly admirable."
Oh!?
When the lion-furred youth heard this, his fur stood up in anger. He was on tenterhooks, but Yi Yun was mocking him from behind. If not for him being in the Blood Desert, he really wanted to turn around and tear Yi Yun into pieces.
"What's the meaning of this?" The lion-furred youth said with a ferocious voice.
"Nothing much. I'm just expressing my thoughts." Yi Yun shrugged and did not say a word. The Azure Wood Manor separatists wanted to capture him to scout ahead. This was equivalent to sending him to his death. Yi Yun naturally would not save people who wanted to kill him.
"Hmph, punk, don't be smug. I want to see how you walk out of the Blood Desert in a while. When you walk alone, I want to see you evaporate from your fright!"
As the lion-furred youth said this, he hesitated as he raised his leg. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took the last step. After all, it was the last step.
However, this step …
"Phew –"
With a soft sound, it was as though invisible flames had exploded in the void. The lion-furred youth felt an excruciating pain from his calf. Following that, the flesh on his calf rapidly melted as blood and oil seeped out!
The melted portion rapidly spread out as it surged towards his thigh!
"Ah!"
The lion-furred youth's eyes were bloodshot as his eyes nearly popped out of his eye sockets. With a loud roar, all his muscles expanded as energy surged out!
"Sou!"
A golden beam flashed as the lion-furred youth's melted leg was sliced apart at the base of his thigh!
The lion-furred youth grunted as his body tumbled backwards. It was unknown when a large golden saber had appeared in his hand.
At that critical moment, the lion-furred youth had pulled out a golden saber and sliced off his leg! If not, the corrosive power of his flesh and blood would have spread throughout the lion-furred youth's body in a blink of an eye. If that happened, he would only end up with his flesh and bones melting.
"Senior Brother Domineering Saber!"
The Azure Wood Manor separatists rushed over, but they did not dare to approach the lion-furred youth.
The lion-furred youth had lost his left leg as he spewed out blood. He quickly tapped a few acupuncture points on his body to stop the bleeding. Only then did he catch his breath.
At that moment, the leg that he had chopped off had already melted.
The lion-furred youth's face was pale as sweat poured down his face. If he had hesitated even a little, he would have died a horrible death.
…
"Yi Yun, you can foresee the perilous zone?" Yue Yingsha was alarmed as she turned to ask Yi Yun.
Yi Yun's first warning could be said to be a coincidence. As for the second time, Yi Yun did not give a direct warning. All he did was say one sentence. And after that sentence, the lion-furred youth also encountered a pretty good situation. With the two coincidences superimposed, Yue Yingsha had a guess.
"I can't guarantee it. I can only say that I have a feeling. It's time we attempt to leave this place! " As Yi Yun spoke, he took a few steps into the Blood Desert. He had chosen a path that was different from the Azure Wood Manor separatists.
Granny Yin was still standing in her spot. She had not left with the Azure Wood Manor separatists, but it was obviously not because of Yi Yun. In fact, Granny Yin viewed Yi Yun as an enemy. However, with Yue Yingsha staying behind, what else could Granny Yin do? All she could do was temporarily postpone her actions.
Now, Granny Yin's eyelids twitched as she watched Yi Yun walk into the Blood Desert. This punk sure has guts!
She could only rely on the Great Heavenly Compass, while the purple-robed elder relied on his trump card, the thirty-six array flags. Yet, they did not dare claim that they could see through the mysteries within.
Even if Yi Yun's talent in array formations was heaven-defying and he could really gain some insights, how could he be certain that his insights were foolproof?
