The Brilliant Fighting Master - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Earthquake

Nearly one hundred people pushed the door together and it finally moved a little .

"Try harder!"

Wan Li's biceps strained . He had exerted his genuine yuan to the limit, intending to push the door open in one go .

Jiang Chen was standing behind everyone else . His holy awareness couldn't pierce the iron door . At the same time, he found it wasn't the door's thickness and heaviness that prevented them from pushing it open, but the tactical formation deployed behind the door .

As time went by, the formation had lost its power, and these people were the straw that broke the camel's back .

When the formation finally lost its effect, the door opened slightly .

Then with a noise, it opened automatically . It happened so suddenly that the guys in the front fell onto the ground . One of them even tumbled through the door .

He screamed and ran out like a crazy person .

"What's going on in there? What's in there?"

His reaction made everyone nervous . He suddenly became the center of attention .

"I don't know . I didn't see anything . "

The crowd was struck speechless by his answer . They all rolled their eyes at him .

"So why did you scream?" Wan Li said angrily .

The guy smiled embarrassedly . He screamed because Jiang Chen had said there could be more demons kept inside, and it happened too suddenly . He had been too frightened .

Behind the door, it was completely dark . The four groups lit some torches . Some of the more fearless guys held the torches and went in slowly .

Jiang Chen's holy awareness had started to work as soon as the door was opened .

Behind the door, the space was much bigger than the hall . There were many cells barred with iron rods, in which there were demons chained and hanging in the air .

As Jiang Chen had expected, this place wasn't a relic, but a prison to keep demons in captivity .

The four groups were disappointed to learn this, but they were soon captivated by the demons .

Many years had passed, but the demons hadn't decayed . They were motionless, as if it had not been long since they died .

"Demons' bodies are like steel . They won't decay . To get rid of them, you have to burn them," Jiang Chen said .

The group went further inside, excited as if they were visiting Disneyland .

These demons hadn't been demon lords . They looked like malformed children . Some of them even had wings .

"What's that?" Dorchid asked Jiang Chen as she approached a cell and pointed to the inside .

Jiang Chen went over and found a demon with a tube connected to his hands and a stone basin below him .

"Demon blood," Jiang Chen said seriously . "Demons' bodies are too hard . It's impossible to eat them, but their blood has the same effect as monsters' blood . The Vermillion Bird State caught these demons and established a blood bank!"

Jiang Chen read all of this in a book . In the book, there were illustrations showing scenes similar to what they were seeing .

"You know a lot . " Dorchid had completely changed her opinion about Jiang Chen . She was even looking at him in a gentler way .

Somehow Wen Xin felt uncomfortable when she noticed the change in Dorchid's attitude .

"Sh*t . This is only a damn prison . There's no treasure at all!"

Wan Li started to swear . By then, they were almost at the end of the room and they'd found nothing valuable .

Not only him, the others were frustrated as well .

"Search more carefully . " Wan Li refused to give up . After walking to the end, he began another search .

At this moment, a guy was egged on by his companions to extend his hand into one of the cells and stab a demon in the wing .

The atmosphere was charged with tension, but much to his relief, the demon hadn't moved . He pulled his hand back and looked at his companions complacently .

To his surprise, the smiles on his companions' faces had faded . They were looking behind him with terror . Even their lips were trembling .

He looked back puzzledly and saw a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him . The demon that had been hanging in the middle of the cell was close to the iron rods at the moment .

Ah!

A scream sounded out . The quiet prison soon fell into chaos .

The rattling sound of iron chains and the roars of the demons were coming from each cell .

"Gosh, these demons really are alive!"

"Let's get out of here!"

"Help! One caught my hand!"

Fortunately, the corridor of the prison was wide . Except for a few unlucky people, the demons could be avoided by taking a step back .

"Calm down! They're locked there . They can't get out!"

People were calmed by this finding . They plucked up the courage once again to observe the demons that had come to life .

These demons are incredible . They've survived without eating or drinking .

Jiang Chen knew demons were tough, but he was still surprised to see they were that tough .

Unless they receive fatal injuries, they won't die . It'll take them thousands of years to grow old .

Suddenly, a panicked voice came from the other side .

"Gao Chenyi, what are you doing?!"

Then, the iron doors of the cells opened automatically .

The switches that controlled the doors were at the entrance of the prison, where the iron door was .

"Ha, go to hell, you b*stards . Go to hell!"

Gao Chenyi had been utterly isolated . No one had wanted to stay with him . When they walked into the prison, he was straggling behind after the group, alone .

He hadn't been in the mood to watch the demons with the others, but kept wandering around the entrance and found the switches by accident . These switches were similar to what he had seen at home .

He hadn't taken it seriously in the beginning .

Not until he found out the demons were still alive . A vicious plan occurred to him . He wanted to kill everyone there .

In this way, no one would know he had surrendered so easily to the demon lord .

So, he pressed the switches secretly . It was already too late when the others found out .

There were one hundred cells in every row, and there were ten rows in all . All of them were open .

After all of this, Gao Chen ran out of the prison and didn't forget to close the iron door .

"That's fine . The demons are chained…"

However, hardly had Wan Li's voice faded away when they heard the chains break one after another .

After thousands of years, those iron chains had rusted . They couldn't resist the demons' struggling at all .

"Run!"

The iron door wasn't locked . They would be fine as long as they made it out of there .

However, many people had gone too deep and were too far away from the iron door . Only a few of them managed to open the door and run out .

"Go to hell!"

Gao Chenyi was hiding beside the door and ruthlessly killed whoever came out .

Inside the prison, more people were devoured by the demons .

They'd been suffering from hunger for thousands of years . There were tens of thousands of demons . This was a much more desperate situation than when they were facing the bloody bats .

"Jiang Chen, what should we do?"

Wen Xin looked over to Jiang Chen, hoping he could figure out a solution .

"Run! Choose a corridor where there are less demons and rush out!"

Then he shouted, "These demons are only in the Gathering Yuan State . Fear is your biggest enemy! Everyone run . Leave the rest to luck!"

The four groups dashed out of the iron door from different corridors immediately . So did Jiang Chen .

However, the ground started to shake suddenly when they were still on their way and many people fell onto the ground .

An earthquake?

Jiang Chen found the ground began to shake more and more strongly . Rocks were falling from above .

"We're not seeking treasure . We're courting death . "
