Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique-Chapter 1437 - 1438: Hair-Trigger!

Since Ling Feng parted ways with the Hui Yue Saintess, he traveled swiftly and finally reached the edge of the Swamp Lake by noon on the second day.

Yin Jian led his large team, taking a full four days to arrive here, while Ling Feng only took a little over a day. The speed difference between the two was evident.

"I’ve reached here all the way and haven’t encountered Senior Sister Lee Fei and the others. Could it be they’ve already crossed this Swamp Lake?"

Ling Feng stopped in front of the swamp, thinking to himself, "Once we pass through this swamp lake, with Yin Jian’s left eye ability, the dangers ahead will hardly be a concern."

"It seems I was overthinking. No matter what, Yin Jian is indeed an elite of the Land of Conquest with some skills."

Ling Feng calmed his heart a bit. He didn’t care much about whether others lived or died, but he valued Lee Fei and the few other teammates more.

Leaping forward, Ling Feng directly entered the Hundred-mile Swamp area.

Unlimited Vision completely unfolded. Although his strength had greatly increased, he still couldn’t afford to be careless in this perilous swamp.

About an hour later, Ling Feng had reached the middle of the swamp area. The giant water beasts around became more ferocious, but with the Ten Dragons Power, he could basically kill them in one punch, rarely meeting a monster that could withstand more than two of Ling Feng’s punches.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly heard a commotion not far away. With Unlimited Vision activated, he discovered that there was another group encountering a giant monster in the swamp lake.

And that raging giant monster was an "old friend" of Ling Feng!

The day Ling Feng and his group crossed the swamp lake, they encountered an Octopus Giant Monster, only subdued by Ling Feng’s Fourth-rank Swallowing Flame, allowing the group to escape.

Ever since Ling Feng and the others forced their way through, that Octopus Giant Monster had been lurking in the middle of the swamp lake, waiting for these prey to return and then catch them all at once.

Its ambush was not in vain. As expected, it found its prey, and, in fact, more abundant prey than before.

When Yin Jian’s group led the main team to the middle of the swamp lake, the giant monster began to rampage.

Dozens of thick tentacles shot out from the lake bottom, binding the disciples who were caught off guard, and dragged them all into the swamp lake.

The water inside the swamp is highly toxic. Even the Primordial Qi Gang Shield of the disciples couldn’t hold for long. Once the poison invaded their bodies, it would surely lead to death.

Yin Jian and Feng Shao’an reacted quickly, slicing off the tentacles attacking them with their swords. But soon, the tentacles came at them overwhelming like a tidal wave, leaving them in chaos.

"Damn it, when we came here before, we didn’t encounter monsters this fierce!"

Yin Jian frowned deeply, frantically slashing the dense tentacles with his sword, feeling despair. Would their group really perish here?

Chu Tiange slashed off the tentacle coiling around Qing Ping Fairy. At this moment, Qing Ping Fairy, poisoned by the monster, could hardly resist. Despite the help of Chu Tiange and Lee Fei, given the situation, being taken by the Octopus Giant Monster was only a matter of time.

As for Xu Xinghe, he had long been dragged into the swamp by the monster, his life or death uncertain.

"Damned beast, it’s this monster again!"

Qing Ping Fairy struggled to brandish her long sword. She obviously recognized the giant monster. That day, it attacked them but was teased by Ling Feng. It seems to have held a grudge ever since, lying in wait here for a chance to seek revenge.

"If only Junior Brother Ling’s flames were here to restrain this monster!"

Chu Tiange kept slashing at the tentacles ahead while protecting Qing Ping Fairy, his hand numbing after dozens of strikes.

Outside in the world, with his strength, why would he fear a mere Octopus Giant Monster!

"Ah!——"

"No... please, I don’t want to die!"

"Heavens, had I known this, I wouldn’t have come to this Death Soul Demon Abyss even if you beat me to death!"

Constant screams resounded, followed by a "splash" as they were dragged into the swamp by the Octopus Giant Monster. Once in the water, the chance of survival greatly diminished.

Cold sweat dripped from Yin Jian’s forehead. In such circumstances, he was helpless, watching his companions dragged into the water yet unable to spare himself from dealing with the overwhelming tentacles, unable to find the Octopus Giant Monster’s main body.

Feng Shao’an wasn’t faring much better. As the renowned First Stronger under the Great Emperor, his title was impressive but in the Death Soul Demon Abyss, his Elemental Power was suppressed. Even with many Divine Skills, he couldn’t unleash them fully.

And if he had other cards, he didn’t dare to use them rashly. Just one giant monster had them overwhelmed. If they disturbed more monsters, the consequences would be dire.

Despair pervaded the swamp lake; they were facing their biggest crisis to date, a near certain death!

"Qing Ping Fairy!"

Chu Tiange exclaimed, seeing a tentacle aiming straight for Qing Ping Fairy’s chest, intending to pierce right through.

Though Qing Ping Fairy saw it, in her current state, she couldn’t react in time. Watching as the sharp tentacle was about to create a bloody hole in her chest, Lee Fei hurriedly swung her sword to deflect it, trying to sever the thick tentacle.

Yet in the next moment, a "pfft" was heard. From behind her, a slightly thinner tentacle had silently crept up and pierced through her left shoulder, creating a bloody hole.

"Puh!"

Lee Fei spat a mouthful of blood, her body falling weakly from the sky. Immediately, tentacles coiled around her, about to drag her into the water. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"You vile beast, how dare you come out to wreak havoc again!"

At this critical moment, a bolt of lightning flashed accompanied by a white silhouette streaking like lightning. It swiftly grabbed Lee Fei’s body.

With one hand, Ling Feng hoisted Lee Fei over his shoulder, then punched. A bloody giant dragon-like Fist Radiance shot out, shattering several tentacles to pieces.

Blood rained down as havoc ensued in the lake bottom, the Octopus Giant Monster stirring a monstrous surge.

"Junior Brother Ling!"

On Ling Feng’s shoulder, Lee Fei immediately recognized his voice despite not being able to see his face and cried out joyfully.

"It’s me."

Ling Feng set Lee Fei down, glancing at the bloody hole on her shoulder. He furrowed his brows, swiftly pinpointing a few spots on her left shoulder to staunch the still spouting fresh blood.
