Chapter 2098: Chapter 2098: Someone Else?!
The two of them, just like the people from before, were smacked by that long arm, slammed straight into the cliff face, their whole bodies seeming to fall apart, and when they dropped down there wasn’t the slightest movement left...
With Yue Xiu’s death, the shock brought to everyone only grew even more intense!
Yue Xiu, one of the three prodigies of the Cangxuan Territory, just died like that, so easily?!
Not even stirring up the slightest ripple?!
The terror of this stone man had already completely surpassed their imagination!
They were a bit scared and wanted to flee this clearly extremely dangerous place, yet they couldn’t help wanting to see what would happen next.
In the end, aside from a small number, most people still stayed where they were, mainly because they felt in their hearts that the canyon was so deep, they should still be safe up here.
At this moment, Qi Wei had been staring at the surface of the pool; she both hoped Su Chen would appear, and was a bit afraid he would appear!
She hoped he would appear to confirm he was still alive; she was afraid he would appear because once he showed up now, it would be far too dangerous!
Even Yue Xiu hadn’t been able to evade that one arm strike, hadn’t even managed a bit of resistance; how much better off could Su Chen be?!
In short, in this situation right now, whether Su Chen appeared or not, she was filled with worry!
At this moment, besides Su Chen, the only ones still alive were that red-robed man of the Moon Worship Sect and Jing Yuan.
That red-robed man of the Moon Worship Sect and Jing Yuan were actually quite smart; when the two of them were about to reach the water’s surface, they didn’t rush out right away but first observed the situation above.
They were already not far from above now, and could basically see clearly.
Though their strength was much greater than those people’s, even far stronger than Yue Xiu’s, they still felt that in front of these Giants, they were completely powerless to resist!
However, these two were also veterans rich in experience, so at the instant Yue Xiu and the other were flung out, they had already frantically drawn out all their True Yuan, then shot out at the fastest speed.
Because those two enormous stone men’s arms had been swung out, their coverage naturally shrank a bit, which gave them some room!
In an instant, the two of them rushed out!
Their first instinct, of course, was to try to escape upward along the cliff.
These stone men were just too terrifying!
That horrifying scene from before had likewise made their hearts feel as if they’d been fiercely slammed!
But just as they moved, two massive arms came crashing down again, though not aimed at them, but at the area above them; the cliff was smashed to pieces at once, countless boulders tumbling down, blocking their path forward.
Before they could make their next move, the long arms came smashing down again, and this time they were aimed right at them!
In the instant those arms descended, they fully felt how dreadfully powerful this swing was!
They were startled, and it was simply impossible to keep going upward; they could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge and dodge downward!
Though Jing Yuan relied on his speed and experience to slip past, the storm whipped up by that long arm still grazed him, making him feel as if his internal organs had all shifted out of place!
"Boom~~~"
But just as he landed, that long arm smashed down again.
Jing Yuan had no choice but to dodge once more, but before he could even catch his breath, that long arm came again, as if it didn’t need the slightest pause!
After three or four times, he was already in a wretched state; he could feel that he’d already been badly injured.
In front of this gigantic stone man, he was simply like a toy, to be kneaded and played with, completely out of his own control.
"Bang!"
In the end, he was still struck by that long arm, and then all he felt was flying...
Finally, he slammed viciously into the cliff, and lost all consciousness.
Almost at the same time, that red-robed man of the Moon Worship Sect met the same fate.
Whether it was him or Jing Yuan, both were extremely unwilling; they didn’t want to just die so inexplicably!
But what could they do?!
The power of these stone men was too great, so great that they didn’t even dare to give rise to the thought of resistance!
As for the people atop the canyon, every one of them was dumbstruck!
Yue Xiu had just died, and now Jing Yuan was actually dead too!
And both deaths were so simple!
What kind of monsters were these stone men?!
At this moment, everyone wanted to flee; if these stone monstrosities made a move against them, they’d be suffering calamity for no reason!
"Splash~~~"
Yet at the very instant Jing Yuan and that red-robed man of the Moon Worship Sect died, and just as those two stone men’s arms hadn’t yet been withdrawn, a figure suddenly shot out from their hands!
His speed was as fast as a flash of light!
The crowd who had been about to leave were all startled!
There was still someone?!
In their view, that red-robed man of the Moon Worship Sect and Jing Yuan were already dead; there definitely shouldn’t be anyone else!
They hadn’t expected that someone would actually come out of the pool!
And his speed was somewhat beyond their imagination!
"It’s Su Chen!"
Qi Wei suddenly shouted excitedly; she had originally been just like everyone else, thinking Su Chen had definitely been buried at the bottom of the pool, already pondering how she should explain this to Sister Pei when they went back.
But at this very moment, Su Chen actually appeared!
To her, this was simply too unexpected, and too great a surprise!
"This brat’s life is tough, actually still not dead!"
Qiu Xuan said with a bit of sourness.
"But not dying now doesn’t mean he’ll still be alive in a while!"
He then added, somewhat schadenfreudiacally.
Hearing this, Qi Wei couldn’t help becoming incomparably anxious again!
Right, even if Su Chen was alive now, so what?!
You had to know, even Jing Yuan had just been toyed with and finished off by that gigantic stone man; what could Su Chen possibly do?!
Even if she tried to be more optimistic, she still couldn’t see the slightest hope!
Though Su Chen’s appearance filled the people atop the canyon with astonishment, for those four gigantic stone men it had no effect whatsoever; they had never shown any emotion or expression to begin with, like robots!
No, that’s not right!
There was a difference!
Because earlier, whether it was Jing Yuan or that red-robed man of the Moon Worship Sect, only one stone man had acted.
But right now, all four stone men were staring fixedly at Su Chen!
Su Chen had no intention of fleeing, because Zi Mei had already told him that there was simply no escaping.
As for why these four stone men were acting like this, he understood after just a bit of thought; it was definitely because the Supreme Treasure was on him.
According to Zi Mei, these four stone men were the Guardian of the Supreme Treasure!
That being the case, he naturally became their primary target!
"Boom boom boom~~~"
All of a sudden, the four stone men stepped toward him one step at a time, then their massive long arms lashed out; each long arm erupted with power far greater than before.
A single arm alone was already enough to obliterate everything; when all four arms swung together, they smashed the entire tangible and intangible space to pieces!
