War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 25

…

Three large figures are coming his way, one looks like a warthog with a human body, the other one looks like a lizard man, and the last one looks like a satyr.

The one leading the three is the warthog and they are careful in entering through the dungeon cavern.

From the way he sees it, these three did not have the same ability as the first one that was able to detect his presence at a distance.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to quickly jump to the ceiling and disappear from his spot.

It did not take long before the three were able to appear in the same spot he was in a while ago.

When the group enters that area, the warthog stopped and immediately was on guard.

"What is it?" asked the lizard man after seeing their leader being on guard.

"I… I smell the scent of a human…" the warthog said.

Xin Ja who is watching these three could barely understand their demon language and just stay planted on the ceiling.

Suddenly, he noticed the satyr slowly looking up. He knew that he has to act now, or else it would be too late.

With a kick of his foot, his figure darted behind the satyr and before it could react, the blade has already sliced three times on its back.

To his astonishment, the satyr actually did not have any defense up, so three gashes of the wound immediately appears on its back.

Eeek!!!

It wailed as it was pushed to the ground.

Meanwhile, its two companions suddenly reacted and jump away while turning their attention to the human who just appeared.

Holding their weapons, they quickly attacked Xin Ja without hesitation. The snake man uses a long spear while the warthog guy uses a short battleax.

The two frenziedly attack him but were easily dodged by Xin Ja. He casually slices one wound after another to the two demons and then backs away after giving the two demons three wounds each.

This infuriated the two as they glared at the human which seemed to be toying with them.

Soon, they showed panic-stricken expressions as their eyes began to blur. It did not take long before the three of them became blind and were easily disarmed by Xin Ja.

"So… What are you guys doing here?" Xin Ja asked after tying them together.

He asked it in a broken demon language as what he has learned from studying them.

The three did not say anything and just glared at the young human before their eyes.

He did not react and just watches the three with a smile. He suddenly stretches his hand and then slices a wound at the warthog. This blinded the demon again which made the two feel a bit panicky. This is true especially when the warthog began to cry in panic.

"At first this blindness is temporary… But soon it would become permanent… So I will not kill you guys but render you blind instead… for the rest of your lives…" he threatened.

The three were suddenly feeling anxious and hopeless. They knew that they have no other choice but to tell the guy what really is happening.

"We… we are… We are here to look for treasures. According to the humans, there are treasures in here..." the satyr said in a neutral language but with an eerie voice.

Upon hearing this, the expression of the two turned solemn. Meanwhile, Xin Ja showed a slight smile on his face.

"Well, there might actually be treasured in here… but it is not as you guys think it is. The treasure that is hidden in this place would actually kill you…" Xin Ja said as he suddenly moved the blade in his hand and sliced their throats.

His conjecture was right, these people are here for the treasures, but if they continue on, then it would be dangerous, especially for the humans.

For the demons, it would just be a passage from this place to the other place, but for the humans is it a death sentence.

So without hesitation, after absorbing the Ki in the three demon\'s bodies, he quickly created a barrier and a camouflage array to hide the door.

After doing that, Xin Ja continue walking towards a hidden location where he could feel a strange fluctuation.

He soon arrives in front of a plain wall. He could not detect anything from it but felt that the mysterious energy is coming from behind the wall.

After checking the wall with his Absolute Sense, he was able to find a small groove. That groove looks like something one can push… so he tries pushing it.

But who would have known that after pushing the small button, nothing has happened?

This made Xin Ja frown for a bit. Suddenly, he had an idea and covered his finger with Ki and then pushes the button.

Still, nothing has happened.

He did not have any choice but to look for another way then.

He began to clean the dusty surface and soon realized that there is actually an engraving drawing on the surface of the dusty wall.

Using his Ki, he quickly began to clean the wall.

To his amazement, he could tell that the wall seem to portray an array. But from the looks of it, the array looks a bit random and weird.

Suddenly, his expression changes as he could infer the array as the constellation outside the planet. Xin Ja has looked at the stars every night before and has seen the constellations.

Without hesitation, he began to deduce the array on the way using the constellations, but it still the answer eludes him.

Without a choice, he decided to use brute force.

Bam!!!

With his strength in the Ki-Champion realm, his punch strength could flatten a forest. But as he fives it only ten percent, it should be enough to break the wall.

But who would have known that once he hits the wall, the force would actually be distributed around it and then absorbed by the wall?

Then to his astonishment, the wall slightly glowed.

This has stunned Xin Ja and he once again hits the wall. This time, he is using about 40% of his strength, and yet to his astonishment nothing happened.

The force is once again absorbed and the wall now becomes a bit clearer and a few constellations actually appear.

Xin Ja suddenly have an idea, as he focused his Ki to the tip of his knuckle and with 80% of his concentrated Ki, he was about to punch the wall.

This time, he suddenly heard a couple of footsteps coming toward him from the dungeon\'s cavern.

"Hmm… I have to hasten this…" he thought as, without hesitation, he punches forward.

Bam!!!

A loud sound reverberates in the air and the wall suddenly glowed brightly.

For some reason, Xin Ja found himself being covered by a bright light which made him unable to see his surroundings.

He felt confused and disoriented as he looks around him after his eyes has been accustomed to the brightness of the light.

He looks around and everything around him is just white.

"Where… where am I?" he muttered.

But his words are amplified inside the white light and they echoed in his surroundings.

Xin Ja feels confused at this time but then realized that there is actually a strange figure that is slowly appearing behind him.

He quickly turns around to see a guy filled with white hair and his face is full of wrinkles.

Although he is able to stand straight, he could tell that the guy is very old.

"Welcome to my humble abode… stranger…" the old man said with an eerie voice that echoed everywhere.

"Who… who are you?" Xin Ja subconsciously asked.

He could actually feel a strange pressure coming from the apparition in front of him. That pressure is something that he has experienced before, it is pressure coming from a powerful Shen.

…

Meanwhile, in the dungeon, several figures appeared.

If Xin Ja is here, he would surely be afraid as these figures are composed of 2 Ki-Grandmasters and several Ki-Champions.

That line-up is enough to topple any empire, but just to get the inheritance of a Shen these powerful beings actually enter this place.

As soon as they arrived, all of them are filled with confusion.

"I could have sworn that I heard that sound in this place…" one of them suddenly said with a deep frown.

"I think someone was punching a wall… and then a bright light appears…" another one chimed in.

But after hearing his words, the rest of the group glared at him.

This is because… they have actually tried punching the wall of the dungeon. But instead of breaking, the wall actually retaliates and rebounds the strength of that punch two times its power.

And because of that, one of the Ki-Grandmasters has to leave the dungeon as he was heavily injured after that incident.

"I think those demons have already found the secret in this place… We should hasten…" someone commented.

Without hesitation, the group continues walking while passing through the wall that Xin Ja was punching a while ago.

For some reason, there is now a passage ahead instead of a dead end.
