Chapter 52: The Flying Yaksha!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

“This disciple’s strength is actually so tyrannical!”

The disciples from the other sects exclaimed as Lin An walked into the interior of the pyramid.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong led out a few disciples at that moment.

The two men exchanged unfriendly stares as they walked past each other.

Lin Dong had clearly failed, and he was in a flustered and exasperated state.

The trial within the pyramid was too grueling. It was simply something that he could not pass. Hence, he had given up and decided to seek opportunities in the other pyramids.

When Ling Dong reached the outer perimeter of the pyramid, he was shocked.

The oasis was filled with pale-white ice sculptures. Within each ice sculpture was the shape of a human.

The expressions of the trapped disciples were full of fear, and their eyes and mouths were wide open as if they had been preparing to cry for help.

It was a miserable sight, and the icy wind blowing furiously over the oasis made the atmosphere eerier.

“These frozen cultivators are all disciples from my Heavenly Mystery Sect!” Lin Dong’s mouth was agape. He did not dare to believe it.

However, as the Heavenly Mystery Sect’s lead disciple, he naturally could not overlook such a provocation.

He would have to pursue the individual responsible for the attack and execute them on the spot!

Lin Dong’s vicious eyes swept across the disciples from the various sects who were at the scene.

Everyone immediately felt a wave of fear, but they all remained silent.

Lin Dong tried to contain his rage as he waited for the cultivators to reveal the identity of the attacker.

However, the disciples from the other sects did not dare to say anything.

They could not afford to offend Lin An, that killing god.

On the other hand, they were also afraid of upsetting the lead disciple from the Heavenly Mystery Sect.

Hence, silence was the best way to deal with the situation.

When he saw that no one was speaking, Lin Dong suddenly waved his large hand.

In an instant, a powerful suction force grabbed one of the disciples and thrust him forward.

Lin Dong grabbed the disciple’s neck and asked fiercely, “Who was it!”

Faced with a threat to his life, the disciple naturally did not dare to keep his mouth shut any longer.

“It was Lin An from the Jiuxiao Sect! I beg you to let me off…”

Creak!

Following the crackling sound, the disciple’s neck was instantly broken!

His originally flailing arms immediately lost their strength, and his lifeless body slumped to the ground.

Once they saw that Lin Dong had killed their fellow disciple, the other cultivators were immediately furious. However, there was nothing they could do.

After letting out a sigh, they all turned their heads away, not daring to take another look at the lead disciple from the Heavenly Mystery Sect.

“Lin An! Isn’t he that brat who just entered the pyramid?”

“Let’s go! This is the place where he will die!”

Under Lin Dong’s lead, the remaining Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples once again walked towards the interior of the pyramid.

When they disappeared from sight, the disciples on the oasis immediately relaxed.

“That killer is finally gone. Let’s hurry up and explore!”

“It is said that treasures magically appear in the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm from time to time. We must seize the opportunity!”

“The treasures in the pyramid may not be fated for us, but the treasures flying above the oasis are ownerless. Whoever acts fast will get them!”

Several disciples raised their heads to look at the stormy clouds above them.

Their eyes were filled with desire, and they all fervently hoped that some treasures would appear in the sky.

However, they didn’t know that a mechanism inside one of the pyramids was responsible for the flying treasures.

Only by triggering the mechanism would the treasures fly out.

…

Lin An had already entered the inside of the pyramid.

The setting wasn’t very different from the previous pyramid, but it was much more spacious.

Lin An noticed that the internal space of each pyramid was different, but there was no visible object in the current pyramid.

Abruptly, the deep familiar voice rang out again, and Lin An quickly understood the rules.

His last trial would be a battle.

He immediately accepted the challenge, and with a flash of golden light, a monster appeared in the space.

Lin An’s opponent was a ferocious monster; the flying yaksha!

According to legend, the flying yaksha was made of steel, and it had immense strength. Its face was like that of a ghost, and it also had wings on its back. The fabled monster could glide at low altitudes, and it was the undisputed leader of the demons in the underground abyss, which earned it the title of demon general.

The flying yaksha was especially intelligent, and its martial arts skills were profound. Therefore, it could easily defeat opponents below the nascent soul stage. This made it practically invincible to the disciples who had entered the Sacred Dragon Mystic Realm.

Another notable feature of the flying yaksha was its skin. On the outside, it was hard to cut through with a sword, but on the inside, its vitality was extremely strong. Even if its head was cut off, the rest of its body could continue to move and kill, and it would take several hours before it died.

This type of demonic creature glided like lightning, and its speed was extremely fast. One flying yaksha was enough to block all cultivators below the golden core stage.

‘I didn’t expect such a monster to be trapped in this pyramid!’

Lin An was surprised.

He suddenly felt waves of fear attack his heart.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t heard of such a monster. He had read several ancient books that gave detailed explanations about the flying yaksha.

The descriptions emphasized how terrifying it was. The kingdoms in the underground abyss were divided into demons, yakshas, and finally the flying yakshas. They were the true demon generals.

The demon general in front of Lin An was holding a steel fork that flashed with a blue light. It was obvious that the fork had been poisoned.

Even though flying yakshas were extremely intelligent, and they were proficient in all kinds of languages, they were still beasts. Their only desire was to kill and eat humans.

Because it had been trapped for hundreds of years, the flying yaksha in the pyramid had not had any recent contact with humans.

Once it saw Lin An, it was naturally filled with hunger and thirst!

It couldn’t wait to tear him up and devour him right away.

Coincidentally, Lin An had already reached the peak of the foundation establishment stage in his cultivation of the ‘Scripture of No Beginning,’ so he naturally needed to test his skills in actual combat.

Perhaps, an experience in actual combat would help him move on to the second stage of the cultivation scripture.

Therefore, the flying yaksha in front of him was a very good opponent.

However, the greed in the demon monster’s eyes made Lin An hesitant to initiate an attack.

At that moment, the disciples from the Heavenly Mystery Sect stormed into the inner space of the pyramid.

However, Lin Dong immediately regretted his decision to lead the disciples into the interior of the pyramid.

“Damn it! Why did he open this trial!”

“This is bad. We are now part of the trial.”

“Senior Brother Lin Dong, the door has already been blocked. We can only leave if we defeat the flying yaksha!”

Lin Dong felt a wave of unease in his heart. Although he was confident that he could exchange a few blows with the flying yaksha, he was not sure that he could kill it.

However, he now had no choice. If he encountered any danger, he would have to attack.

No matter how great the opportunity in the pyramid was, Lin Dong had felt that the risk of battling the flying yaksha was too great.

Now that the monster had been unleashed, he would have to fight it. If he surrendered, he would definitely die.

Once he made up his mind, Lin Dong clenched his teeth and pulled out his long sword.

“We’ll kill the flying yaksha first, and then we’ll kill Lin An!”
