Heaven-defying Phoenix

This pedestrian was originally one step slower than the others, so he was able to quickly reach the end of the land.    

To get from this piece of land to the other side, one needed to cross the bridge.    

There was a wooden bridge on both sides of the river. The bridge was very long, about a thousand meters long.    

This was a wooden bridge, and the wooden stakes were nailed to the bottomless lake water. The years had beaten it to an extremely ancient state, but there was no sign that it was on the verge of rotting away. It was the same on the bridge. The bridge was very old, but not even moss had grown on it.    

The bridge was only a meter away from the surface of the water. Due to the lack of wind in the morning, the water surface was very calm. However, the air was somewhat damp and cold.    

"There are demonic beast in the water, when everyone is crossing the river, try to stay close to me. Don't go too far, try to cross this river as fast as possible." The assassin held the blade in his hand and was the first to step onto the wooden bridge.    

When the swordsmen said that there were demonic beast underwater, no one was surprised. Now, they all knew that there was a terrifying demonic beast lurking below the river.    

They did not panic at all, because from the information they had obtained, the demonic beast underwater was a very cautious demonic beast. As long as there were more than two people on the bridge, it would not attack.    

Aside from the few who left early in the morning, there were now nearly twenty of them. With twenty people crossing the bridge at the same time, the demonic beast underwater would definitely not intervene. They were safe.    

Everyone stepped onto the wooden bridge, and the surface of the water beneath the wooden bridge was calm and still.    

Everyone followed the swordsman at the same speed, moving rapidly towards the opposite bank. With their hearts in their throats, they crossed most of the wooden bridge, but the water was still calm.    

It seemed that the beast would not make a move. Someone relaxed, and his speed gradually slowed down, pulling a distance of about half a meter from the others.    

At that moment, the surface of the water suddenly fluctuated!    

"Not good, it's that demonic beast! "Hurry up and leave!" The assassin shouted.    

As the swordsman's voice faded, waves of shock swept across the area.    

Amongst those who had the guts to come to the Abyssal Devil Pool, which one of them wasn't capable, and which one wasn't famous among the young geniuses of the Three Immortal Heavens.    

The reaction speed of this group of people was also very fast.    

But no matter how fast their reactions were, how could they compare to the demonic beast under the water?    

The instant the assassin's voice rang out, the group of people charged towards the other side at the fastest speed they could muster, but they were still a step too slow.    

Along with the stormy sea appeared seven or eight huge and soft tentacles. These tentacles could not destroy the wooden bridge, but they could block their way!    

A tentacle was placed across their path, forcing them to stop. The other tentacles quickly extended towards the others!    

The speed of these tentacles was simply too fast. In a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of everyone.    

"What's going on? Didn't they say that as long as there are more than two people in a team, we won't be attacked by this ferocious beast? We have more than ten people, why would we still be attacked by this demonic beast?"    

In the midst of their panic, someone took out a weapon to block and shouted at the same time.    

Many people did not even have time to unsheathe their weapons, the attacks of the demonic beast were too sudden and no one was prepared. Only the blademaster who had been holding the big blade in his hand brandished it, and with a raise of his blade, the sharp blade cut off one of the demonic beast's tentacles!    

The demonic beast under the water wailed and floated to the surface.    

Octopus! It was an octopus!    

Jiu Muli was shocked, the demonic beast that was hidden under the bridge, was actually an octopus!    

The tentacles of the octopus demonic beast landed on the shore with a heavy sound.    

However, no blood flowed out from the severed part of its tentacle. Instead, a new one had grown out!    

"Its tentacles can actually regenerate? What should I do?" someone asked anxiously.    

"Cut again!" I do not believe that its tentacles will continue to grow! " The blade artist shouted out, he waved his blade, the octopus was already prepared for the blade user, it dodged the blade user's blade, and actually attacked Jiu Muli!    

Jiu Muli was not too far away from the blade user, once the blade user arrived, it was already too late.    

looked too weak, but this demonic beast had just been hacked into one of its tentacles, causing it to go crazy.    

The assassin only hoped that Jiu Muli would be able to hold on for a while, until he arrived, or perhaps among the people around Jiu Muli, there was someone who could save Jiu Muli!    

Who would be willing to use their own lives as the wager and risk it on this demonic beast to save Jiu Muli?    

Furthermore, there was more than one tentacle on the demonic beast. Everyone was busy looking after themselves, so who would be able to distract themselves to save Jiu Muli?    

The speed that the octopus's tentacles were reaching towards Jiu Muli was much faster than the swordsmen, who were filled with despair.    

Although they did not know each other, they had spent the night together. Right now, they had to watch Jiu Muli getting swept away by the demonic beast right under their noses.    

He closed his eyes as his blade swung powerlessly.    

Just as he closed his eyes, Jiu Muli's body suddenly erupted with a monstrous Exotic Flame! A lotus suddenly appeared between Jiu Muli's brows.    

The moment the lotus flower appeared, the temperature here rose abruptly. The person standing beside Jiu Muli was still alright, as the tentacles of demonic beast that were bearing Jiu Muli's attacks were instantly burnt!    

The burnt tentacles emitted an alluring fragrance, causing one's appetite to stir. In this tragic battle, it was extremely discordant.    

The demonic beast in the water let out a mournful and horrifying scream. Its scorched tentacles were unable to be reborn.    

It did not dare to have any more thoughts about Jiu Muli, or perhaps because of the sudden appearance of the Exotic Flame, it did not dare to have any more thoughts about this group of people.    

Jiu Muli and the assassin wanted to save that person, but it was already too late!    

From the bottom of the lake came that person's mournful cries. With just a single cry, that person had lost all signs of life.    

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" The assassin shouted to wake the people who had not reacted in time, and hurriedly rushed to the other side. This time, the demonic beast did not come out to stop them.    

The clear river turned bright red as they made their way to the other side.    

The river was dyed red with the blood of that unknown young cultivator.    

Before he came to the Abyssal Devil Pool, he might have had great ambitions, and might have been one of the famous Heaven's Pride talents. But now, he had silently died in this river like that, in the mouth of the demonic beast.    

He didn't even leave behind his surname.    

When they arrived at the other side of the river, they looked at the dark red river in silence, not only for the death of this heaven's pride expert, but also for their future path.    

In that moment, Jiu Muli finally understood that the person in charge of the boat was not exaggerating about the Abyssal Devil Pool.
