Chapter 44 44: The Boss Room

Lin Xu ran as fast as he could without looking back to see if his opponent was following him. As his adrenaline wore off, the pain and exhaustion overtook him, and he had to stop to recover. Suddenly, he felt an immense pressure that made him feel as if he were stuck in a swamp, with a heavy body that made every step feel like he was dragging a boulder.

Looking toward the entrance, Lin Xu saw a silhouette walking slowly towards him. To his dismay, he realized it was another unknown monster. Each step the monster took made Lin Xu's heart skip a beat, and he began to sweat profusely.

Realizing he had to fight, Lin Xu forced himself to stand up, clenching his fists tightly. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down, but the monster continued to approach him slowly, as if taunting him.

Desperate to survive, Lin Xu attacked the monster, but he was not even halfway through before he saw a fire fist hurtling towards him. He had no time to react, and that was the last thing he saw before he died.

Argon, who had used the Death Pact on Lin Xu, was not surprised by his immediate death. Examining the remaining lower half of Lin Xu's body, as his upper body had been obliterated, Argon felt nothing for his first kill. He quickly teleported back to the throne room, where he could see that the battle was over.

--------------------

At the battlefield, everyone was looking at Xenos who was having a breakthrough. After he killed the hobgoblin, the wall that blocked him from breaking through was smashed after he received a huge amount of energy from killing the hobgoblin.

If you want to break through the opening

qi realm, you need to open one of the nine main meridians. It was called the nine main meridians because these nine meridians were blocking the qi from getting absorbed into the body.

So cultivators open them one by one, and started absorbing and storing them in the dantian. The more meridians you open, the more qi you can store, which makes you stronger.

Xenos already opened one meridian, so he officially set foot in the opening qi realm. Right now he was just consolidating his realm.

Patriarch Song looked at Elder San with admiration.

"Elder San, I Song Hu, thank you for saving my life." Song Hu said while coping his hand in respect.

"Don't mention it, we are all from Waydale City, of course, we need to help each other."

"Y-yes, that's right..." Patriarch Song can only smile wryly.

Just earlier when he was about to become

minced meat by the hobgoblin, Elder San suddenly appeared in front of him and killed the hobgoblin.

Patriarch Song felt a sense of gratitude towards Elder San, but at the same time, he felt ashamed of his own weakness. He was a cultivator in the peak stage of building base realm, yet he couldn't even handle a monster of the same realm on his own.

He looked at Xenos with envy, if he killed the hobgoblin on his own, he might be also breaking through right now. It's not that he did not get anything, it's just that since he was not the one who killed it, he didn't get much like Xenos who killed it alone. The cultivation qi he got was not enough for him to break through.

He was not without experience fighting monsters of the same realm, although monsters were innately stronger than humans, it was not as perverted as the green monsters he just fought.

In addition, he was praising himself for not making enemies with Xenos.

'That's right, although Xenos was exiled, he still comes from the royal family, and royal families are not without loyal subordinates.' He thought.

"My Lord, should we continue?" Commander Anakin said to Xenos.

Xenos looked at the remaining dispirited people, with more than five thousand people that come, only more than a thousand were left. Which was quite depressing even for him, his soldiers that were originally two thousand strong men were left with three hundred soldiers.

"Announce that anyone that doesn't want to continue, can leave. As for the one who wants to continue they can stay." Xenos said.

"Yes, My Lord"

"Everyone listen!!... My Lord said that anyone can go, we won't force you. And the ones that want to continue, can stay and join us!!!"

Half of the remaining people decided not to continue, leaving behind only Xenos's soldiers, Patriarch Song's clan members, and Blue Wind Sect's members led by Elder Tan Zong.

After stabilizing Xenos's cultivation, the remaining humans continued their journey. A few minutes later, everyone stopped, they eventually came upon a huge door blocking their way. It was a boss room where Ghorm was waiting.
