Chapter 447 Acting, scared Lian Daofei
As his voice fell, Lian Daofei suddenly rushed towards a distant, broken asteroid, smashing it with a single punch. Amidst the flying debris, he charged towards another planet, as if intending to vent all his fury on these innocent celestial bodies.
Lin Che shook his head helplessly, able to do nothing but follow close behind him.
Watching Lian Daofei shatter one asteroid after another, he finally collapsed onto a pile of rubble, gasping for breath, when he could no longer lift his fists.
The golden aura gradually dimmed, and Lian Daofei's face was ashen, his eyes becoming hollow: "Why… why can't this King escape…"
…Lin Che ignored Lian Daofei, his fingers moving rapidly, summoning the Nether Beast of this place to see if he could find a way to leave.
Just as Lian Daofei was speechless, the distant sky suddenly ripped open, and the hazy gray heavens abruptly churned with a storm.
Amidst the roar, the sky seemed to tear apart, and a colossal phantom indistinctly materialized from it.
The phantom was as vast as a whale, especially with two long whiskers on its face, constantly swaying.
It was precisely the Nether Beast!
Upon sensing Lin Che's summons, its soul-shadow manifested within this realm inside its body!
The moment it appeared, the smug expression on Lian Daofei's face instantly crumbled, his pupils constricted, his body trembled violently, and he let out a piercing shriek!
"Ah, you, you, you… you actually tracked me here!! You cursed demon, you still won't let me go!!! I'm not tasty, really not tasty at all!!"
As soon as it recognized the figure, a deafening roar erupted from within the Nether Beast's soul core, its massive body uncontrollably shuddered, and its cries grew more shrill, yet laced with undeniable terror.
But this fear lasted only for an instant; a rebellious factor, never before present in its nature, suddenly surged.
All its life, it had been the one cowering and fleeing from various powerful cultivators; when had it ever had the chance to intimidate others in return?
After a brief daze, the Nether Beast's eyes suddenly swiveled towards Lian Daofei, its pupils filled with fierce light, and a ferocious roar erupted once more.
Its colossal body no longer concealed itself; its true form, dozens of feet long, abruptly appeared. Its massive, ink-scaled body, carrying a foul stench, charged fiercely towards Lian Daofei, its two tentacle-like feelers, as thick as buckets, wildly flailing at its sides, making the void reverberate.
"Ah—!!"
Lian Daofei's scream pierced the starry sky, his body retreating rapidly like a leaf caught in a gale, his face instantly ashen, his lips trembling so much he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
The faster he retreated, the fiercer the Nether Beast's "savagery" grew, pressing closer with each step, its massive mouth opening to reveal gleaming white fangs, as if it would swallow this deranged cultivator whole in the next moment.
The thudding sound of its tentacles whipping grew closer and closer, and one of them accidentally brushed Lian Daofei's shoulder.
With a muffled "boom," Lian Daofei cried out as if struck by lightning, retreating several more feet, almost collapsing to the ground.
The Nether Beast, however, was startled by this unintentional touch, quickly recoiling several feet. Once it steadied itself, it immediately resumed its ferocious posture, continuing to growl menacingly.
It both relished this rare sense of "intimidation" and harbored apprehension towards the faint aura of an Immortal Ancestor emanating from Lian Daofei.
"Little Red! Get out and save this King!! If you want to eat, eat him! Don't eat this King! This King's meat is tough and old, not tasty at all!!"
Lian Daofei trembled like a sieve, his courage long shattered, his hands flailing wildly, almost losing the strength to even stand.
As he stumbled backward, his foot caught on something, and he fell with a thud onto the pile of rubble, forced to crawl backward on all fours, his face contorted with despair and terror, a sight too painful to behold.
"Guard! Guard me!! Which fearless warrior will come save this King!! This King will make him a Prince!!"
Just as Lian Daofei thought he was about to be devoured alive by the fierce beast, Lin Che stepped forward, firmly blocking him.
That not-so-particularly-burly figure instantly became as towering as a mountain in Lian Daofei's eyes, like the only light in the darkness.
"You're still the best to this King! A million times better than my older brother who only knows how to scold people!"
Lian Daofei's eyes erupted with wild joy, his voice filled with the excitement of surviving a calamity, howling with a crying tone.
"Quick, stop it! It's going to eat me! It's really going to eat me! Quickly tell it that I'm the most unappetizing!"
This sudden sense of reliance made Lian Daofei almost forget he was in danger, only focusing on his incoherent pleas.
"This King will reward you! A huge reward!" Lian Daofei patted his chest anxiously, completely forgetting his current disheveled appearance.
"Little Red will be your reward! Little Silver will be your reward! And that colorful maiden who always glares will also be your reward! This King's four hundred thousand imperial concubines will all be your maids!!"
Lin Che did not respond, only slowly raised his right hand and pressed it down towards the Nether Beast, while a divine thought quietly entered the other party's soul core.
"Hold back your strength, act."
The Nether Beast abruptly stopped, its massive head tilted, its cloudy eyes filled with confusion.
What was its master trying to do?
Just now, he told it to restrain its aura, so why now… Although it was full of confusion, its body subconsciously moved forward, its massive head leaning towards Lin Che, seemingly wanting to rub against its master's arm.
But this scene, in Lian Daofei's eyes, was a different sight: the Nether Beast was completely enraged, charging straight at Lin Che with world-destroying momentum! "Be careful!!"
Before Lian Daofei's cry of alarm could fully subside, the Nether Beast's head had already "thumped" into Lin Che's body.
Lin Che's expression suddenly changed, his throat sweetened, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. His body stumbled back several steps, and he firmly grabbed Lian Daofei's collar with his hand, using the recoil to continue retreating rapidly.
As he retreated, the Nether Beast became even more bewildered, standing still and blinking in Lin Che's direction.
That's not right, it clearly didn't hit him hard, so why did its master retreat? Could it be that its master wanted to play a game of "you chase, I flee" with it?
Thinking of this, the Nether Beast instantly became excited, and the roars from its soul core became somewhat more cheerful.
It moved its massive claws, chasing after Lin Che and the other, its dozens-of-feet-long body causing this shattered starry sky to tremble violently with every step it took.
The inky scales reflected a cold light, coupled with its earth-shattering roars, giving it an astonishing presence. Anyone unaware would surely think an ancient fierce beast had descended to slaughter living beings.
"It's catching up! It's really catching up!!"
Lian Daofei, held in Lin Che's grip, kicked his feet wildly in the air, screaming repeatedly and crying, "It's determined to eat me! I have no grudge against it! Why does it insist on eating me!!"
A flicker of apology crossed Lin Che's eyes, but it was quickly masked by gravity. As he rapidly retreated with Lian Daofei, he explained in a deep voice.
