214 Sacrificing a thousand for his own benefi (2/2)

This was why Bai Long directly used the Death Steps without the slightest hesitation.

Appearing inside the pond because that was the closest place near the lotus where there was a shadow, Bai Long who used the shadow of a nearby tree to transport himself inside the pome savagely gripped the stalk connected to the Yin Lotus and ripped it away.

After all, he didn't have any need for the Yin Lotus other than its petals or seeds due to which he didn't need to keep the stalk or anything safe or even treat it gently.

Hastily placing the Yin Lotus inside his Ring of Darkness, Bai Long began using the Death Steps in quick succession to first leave the pond and then the mountain itself.

Because the very moment he appeared inside the pond, Bai Long found the terrifying presence of the beast lock onto him.

That's why he knew he couldn't waste a single second in escaping.

In fact, other than when Bai Long was passing through the shadows, every time his body reappeared in the outside world the terrifying presence would once again immediately lock onto him which completely destroyed the possibility of escaping from the beast using any ordinary means.

Thus, just as Bai Long was about to start moving in the direction of the closest mountain which had a similar beast in the Qi Celestial Realm living on it, he noticed a group of cultivators moving not too far from him.

This was when a smile appeared on Bai Long's face as he started moving towards them, appearing behind the group using a single jump Bai Long who had removed one of the many seeds of the Yin Lotus threw it in the middle of the group.

Once he did that, even though Bai Long had a desire to wait and see what the beast that was chasing him so silently without making any noise was, and what it would do to this group, Bai Long chose to leave without the slightest hesitation.

After all, remaining here in this same place meant nothing less than that beast figuring out it was him who possessed the complete Yin Lotus and resume chasing him.

...

In less than a few seconds after Bai Long who appeared like a ghost threw a seed of the Yin Lotus in the middle of the group ran away, a presence which made the group of people so scared that one of them even pissed their pants.

The terrifying presence wasn't like anything else they had sensed until now. It was not only strong but there was something very sinister about it that everyone found it hard to even breathe without looking over their shoulders.

What appeared after the presence however was something even scarier.

With a size bigger than the flood dragon, there was a pitch-black coloured snake who looked like his venom was enough to poison not just living creatures but things like mountain and kingdoms as well.

So, if just seeing it was so terrifying, what would it be like when it attacked them and swallowed all of them inside its mouth in one go?
