1390 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 140

Chapter 1390

…

Xin Ja was a bit amazed at the bravery of the man who sacrificed himself just to save his companions from the demons that are chasing after them.

What stunned him the most is that the man is actually a late stake Ki-Master. As he burns his life force his body began to exude energy reaching that of a Ki-Champion level.

However, even if he did reach the Ki-Champion level, the demon seems to show ridicule in its sinister eyes as it sneered at the approaching man.

"Die!" the man shouted as he punches with all his might.

But the monster just waved its large hands and sent that man flying with one swat.

The man was thrown to a tree, but he forced his body and tumbles in the air to land with his feet.

Blood began seeping from his mouth as the blow from the creature is truly powerful.

But now that he has reached the C-level, he showed confidence that he could defeat his foe. He suddenly grabs the knife in his back and stood in a fighting stance while facing the creature before him.

After finding his timing and bearing, his figure rushes toward the demon and delivers a slash towards its torso.

But the demon easily blocks that slice with its strong hands which sent sparks flying in the air.

From the looks of it, it seems that the hand alone of the demon is as strong as metal.

Even after covering the blade with his awakened energy, it was still unable to penetrate the tough skin of the creature.

"Damn you! Why don't you just die!" the man once again shouted as he attacked in a frenzy.

But the demon seems to be toying with him as it easily parried each strike coming from the guy.

The demon suddenly feels bored as a killing glint appears in its eyes while looking at the man and it sent a chill running down his spine. And that was the time that he lost his focus.

It was unknown when it happened, but he suddenly saw a large palm swinging right at him. It was already too late to dodge, so he could only cross his arms to block.

But the impact was too strong that he was sent flying with several bone-cracking sounds echoing in the air.

A loud thud was heard as the man hits a thick tree and fell like a rag doll to the ground.

The man coughs up blood out of his mouth as he could feel a numbing pain coursing through his body. He glared at the creature and spat some words out of his mouth.

"Snow troll demons… all of you will be hunted by us sooner or later…"

After coughing for a while, the man breathes his last.

The snow troll sneered as it spat yellowish goo to the ground and snorted coldly as it quickly strolled towards the direction of the other escaping people.

Xin Ja saw all of this happening and was a bit confused about why the others are still coming his way.

"We should be nearing a cave… I don't know how dangerous that cave is, but if we can enter it, then that snow troll would be facing a powerful foe once we hide our awakened powers…" the man leading the group said while looking at his wrist.

As they got near the location, Xin Ja could now see that the guy is actually looking at a strange compass.

Soon the group arrives in front of the cave but showed confusion as they could not see the cave.

"What is happening? The compass could still detect the energy trace I put inside this place a few weeks ago… How did it suddenly banish?" the man muttered in confusion.

Xin Ja did not stop them and just watches calmly inside the cave while leaning on the wall.

The man extended his hand and was suddenly stunned when his palm went through the rocks.

"This… this is a camouflage… I think someone or something is truly hiding in this cave…" the man suddenly showed fear in his eyes.

But then he did not have time to think about anything anymore. In his mind, the most important thing to do now is to escape this dangerous place that they are in right now.

It was only several days ago when their party confidently enters the snowy forest from the village of Adema which is the forwarding village established by some awakened near the area.

The village serves as a stop for the awakened and has slowly grown into a strong community where most of the awakened would be staying before entering the snowy mountain ranges.

The village is protected by its strong walls and a powerful barrier that would deter any demons from approaching it.

So far, the snowy mountain ranges have become a famous spot for hunting because of the presence of several demonic forces in the area.

The most common is the demonized beasts which are hunted by both the awakened and the demons. The second more significant force is the Snow Trolls, then there are the White Fangs which are snow werewolves, and the last, are the Windigos that look like 3-meter tall hairy giants but could shapeshift into different forms.

These three demons have formed their own community in these parts of the mountain ranges which spans thousands of hectares of area.

So far, no one has ventured this deep into the mountain ranges because this is the territory of the snow trolls. And the snow trolls are known for their aggressiveness and love for fighting.

They prefer to bludgeon their foe with their rock-like fists and then leave it for other creatures to feast upon. In turn, they would feast upon the beast that would bite their trap.

Although they do not eat humans, they also would not let them escape their grasp.

The reason for this is because… humans have great use in trapping other demonized beasts and demons. And they would prefer eating those to the weak human who has a strangely strong chaotic energy within their bodies.

Roar!

The man was hesitating to enter, but then heard the loud roar of the snow troll that is hunting them. Without a choice, he gritted his teeth and walks inside.

As soon as he did, the others followed behind him and all of them have now entered the cave.

They soon realized that there really is a cave in the area.

But then it did not take long before the group realized that there is a stranger amongst them who is calmly leaning on the wall.

"Who… who are you?!" one of them was alarmed and quickly protected the young woman as he stood in front of her.

But the young man seems to have not noticed them as he moved his hand and several flags appear in his hand.

Then he threw them on the ground which confuses the group.

"If you are here for shelter, then you can stay… provided you guys give me information…" Xin Ja did not want to beat around the bush as he lay his condition.

The men around him are now on alert as they did not know who this young man is. His abrupt words made them feel that something is strange.

"Who do you think you are? This place is not yours…" one of the men shouted as he steps forward.

p "It became mine after I killed the previous resident of this place…" Xin Ja said with a sneer.

The men were taken aback. This is true, especially for the one who just lead the group inside.

"Impossible! How… How could a single person kill the powerful creature living in this place…" the guy retorted but froze when he realized something.

His complexion suddenly changes as he stood in front of the young woman while looking at Xin Ja warily.

But the tension suddenly dissipated when the giant snow troll arrives in the area.

It suddenly showed a confused expression as it lost the traces of footprints and smell in the air. It began sniffing its surroundings but frowns when it did not detect a trace of its prey.

It snorted coldly while glaring from left to right. It now could feel the strange aura in the air. It seems to remember that it has intruded in a powerful demonized beast's territory so it suddenly showed a wary stance as it slowly backs away.

"Hmm… Smart fellow…" Xin Ja muttered with a smile.

"Yes… I think it will now summon its tribe to go back to this place…" the leader said with a deep frown.

"…to kill the giant snake living in this cave?" Xin Ja suddenly asked.

The man was a bit taken aback and then looks warily deep inside the dark cave. Then they slowly back away from Xin Ja as if he has a plague or something.

"Sigh… I told you… I just wanted information. If you can give me information about this place, then you are welcome to hide here for a while…" Xin Ja sighs while looking at the wary group.

He did not want to start a fight as this is his first time in this area. He wanted to know how far he is right now, or rather where he is right now.

Upon hearing his words everyone looks at each other and showed a tacit understanding.
