Chapter 558
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the place Xiao Chen was looking at was hell on earth. It was a very large space. The shape of this space was similar to that of the Devil Castle. Both of them were in the shape of an upside-down bowl. There were several oil lamps burning on the protruding walls of this space. The light of these lamps was very small, and it illuminated this huge space in a dim light.
Why did this space look like hell on earth?
The reason was that there were many black pillars on the ground of this space. Each pillar was ten meters tall. Each pillar had one or several people tied to it. These people were completely naked. There were men and women, old and young, but most of them were young men and women.
Among these people, there were warriors and mortals. The cultivation of these warriors wasn’t high. The highest cultivation level was only in the Blood Bear Realm. Their bodies were covered with all kinds of wounds. Blood flowed out of their wounds and dripped into the blood troughs on the ground. There was a long ditch in the blood troughs, and this ditch was connected to a ten meters wide pool in the center of the space. This pool was filled with fresh human blood.
The human blood in the blood pool hadn’t frozen. It was no different from fresh blood. There were small ditches all around the blood pool. Obviously, it was to facilitate the blood that dripped from the bodies to flow into the blood pool.
Most of the dozens of people tied to the black pillars had already died. There were also a few people who were still breathing, but they were on the verge of death. It wouldn’t be long before they died. The wounds on these people weren’t fatal. Obviously, they had been drained of blood and died. This could be seen from their pale faces and shrunken bodies.
Xiao Chen looked at the miserable and bloody scene in front of him. He was shocked. His complexion became incomparably gloomy. His heart was roaring with anger. This kind of torture was obviously not used to kill or torture people. It was used to drain people’s blood. Moreover, these people were obviously innocent civilians or low-level warriors.
“Bastard!”
Xiao Chen couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He looked at the blood pool and couldn’t help but curse. He didn’t know what the blood pool was used for, but he was certain that it had something to do with the infamous Black Magic Pavilion. It was very likely that the experts of the Black Magic Pavilion used it to cultivate their Blood Demon Technique.
In Bamboo Forest Valley, Xiao Chen, Buried Heaven, and The Lion King had once fought with the powerhouses of the Black Magic Pavilion who looked like ghosts. Xiao Chen knew that the powerhouses of the Black Magic Pavilion all cultivated an evil and terrifying technique called the Blood Demon Technique. This technique would release blood mist, blood clouds, and so on at random. It looked very cool, but it was also very vicious.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was so angry, the Lion King knew that Xiao Chen was angry at the evil deeds of the Black Magic Pavilion. Therefore, he sneered and said, “Big Brother, when we find the people of the Black Magic Pavilion, we will let them have a taste of blood, hehe!”
“Hmm?
There isn’t another entrance? ”
Xiao Chen didn’t find any enemies in this space. He looked around and didn’t find another entrance. He was immediately puzzled. He started walking, looking for a secret door in this huge space.
The Lion King didn’t look for a secret door. He felt that the blood pool in the center was a little strange. Therefore, he walked to the side of the blood pool and looked down at the blood in the pool as if he wanted to see what was in it.
Xiao Chen was curious when he saw the Lion King looking at the blood pool. Therefore, he quickly walked to the side of the Lion King and looked into the blood pool. He asked through voice transmission, “Da Huang, is there something wrong with this blood pool?”
“Big Brother, there is a weak life force in this blood pool!” The Lion King replied in a strange voice.
“Life force force?”
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. Then, he understood what the Lion King meant. “You mean that there is someone in this blood pool?
Could it be someone who was captured, or could it be a hidden enemy? ”
“Hmm, it should be an enemy. Furthermore, there are two enemies. Big Brother, why don’t I blast them out?
Ga Ga! “The Lion King was sure that there were enemies in the blood pool. He was prepared to force the enemies out.
“Let me do it. The power of your Desolate Energy Bomb is too strong. It will collapse this Demon Castle.”
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he immediately released the Demonic God’s Bestow. Then, he held the sword with both hands and crazily circulated the Power of Desolates into the sword. The originally black wooden sword gradually turned into a flowing light wave. Furthermore, it burst out a twenty-foot long sword beam. The purplish-black sword beam burned like a flame, causing the surrounding air to evaporate.
“Ha!”
Suddenly!
Xiao Chen gave a deep roar. He raised the wooden sword high and slashed at the blood pool with an earth-shattering momentum. At the same time, he retreated. He did not wish to be splashed with the stench of human blood.
“Boom!”
The powerful sword beam collided with the thick blood. Instantly, all the blood in the blood pool exploded. Blood splattered everywhere, forming a huge bewitching blood flower. The blood flower was evaporated by the Power of Desolates and turned into a blood mist. The blood mist permeated a radius of a hundred feet with the blood pool as the center.
“Ah!” “Aiyo!”
At the same time the blood pool exploded, two hoarse screams came from the blood mist. Following that, two thin black figures staggered out of the blood mist. The direction they ran in was completely opposite of Xiao Chen and The Lion King. Obviously, they were very afraid of Xiao Chen and Da Huang.
“Da Huang, let’s go!
Take them down!
Interrogate them properly. ”
Xiao Chen stared at them with a pair of bloody eyes. His expression was extremely cold and his aura was violent. His killing intent soared to the sky. With a cold shout, he took the lead in chasing after one of the black figures.
“Big Brother, their strength is at the second stage of the Celestial Phenomenon realm. We will take one each. Hehe!”
The Lion King saw through the strength of the two enemies at a glance. He overtook Xiao Chen’s figure and chased after the other black figure.
“Rumble!”
The two black figures ran crazily to the side of the spatial house. One of them pressed his palm on a stone on the wall. A secret door appeared on the seamless stone wall and opened. The two of them rushed through the door and entered another unknown space.
“Oh?
There really is a secret door!
Chase! ”
Xiao Chen saw the actions of the two black figures in front of him clearly. Naturally, he saw the appearance of the secret door. He could not help but sneer and chased after them.
“Rumble!”
At this time, the secret door started to close. The Lion King was still one zhang away from the secret door while Xiao Chen was two zhang away. The Lion King could have rushed out before the secret door closed but the Lion King was worried about Xiao Chen. Hence, he slowed down and waited for Xiao Chen to catch up.
“Da Huang, I saw clearly which stone is the mechanism of the secret door. Let me open the door.”
Xiao Chen saw that the stone door was closed but he did not panic. He walked to the side of the stone wall and pressed his left palm on a stone. Something strange happened. The stone didn’t move at all.
“Eh?
What’s going on?
It’s clearly this stone … “Xiao Chen thought that he had used too little strength. Hence, he increased his strength but the stone still didn’t move. He was stunned.
At this time, something strange happened!
“Boom!”
As a huge explosion sounded out, the entire castle shook, and stone fragments began to fall.
It seemed like the outside of the devil castle was suffering from a terrifying energy attack.
