Liu Xing sprang into action, jumping silently from wall to wall. When he saw gaps between the blue walls, he leaped through them, moving left and right, up and down between the slowly shifting barriers. For him, maneuvering in three dimensions wasn't difficult, as he was used to it. The only challenge in navigating this maze of blue walls was finding a way to get closer to Elder Xia Juetian, but even that wasn't too daunting a task. Several minutes later, Liu Xing arrived at the center of this prison. From the inside, the prison was actually beautiful. The blue walls above filtered the sunlight, creating a myriad of colors as if they were prisms.

There weren't many rotating walls attacking Elder Xia, only about thirty, but every time he destroyed one, the other walls would replace it.

At first glance, it seemed the spirit beast was toying with the elder, but he knew better. The spirit beast was trying to wear down the elder. After all, while Elder Xia Juetian possessed vast qi, it wasn't unlimited. Liu Xing suspected that this fight would last for hours. The spirit beast was attempting to chip away at the elder's stamina, while Elder Xia Juetian tried to gather all his power to unleash one attack.

Liu Xing took several slow steps, trying to be discreet and avoid being hit by the elder. After a few moments, he finally arrived right behind the elder and whispered, "Elder Xia Juetian, I think I can give you a chance to unleash your attack."

Elder Xia's eyes twitched slightly, and Liu Xing glanced at the spirit beast, trying to judge whether the elder's expression had given him away. But there was no change. Its snake arms still danced in the air, and it was still smirking. Elder Xia Jeutian punched a rotating wall that tried to split him in two. The wall flew to the side, hitting other rotating walls. More blue walls moved toward the elder from the left and right, and another rotating wall came from above. Elder Xia chose to leap forward, and Liu Xing rolled backward. He then zigzagged away while observing Elder Xia Juetian, trying to read the elder's movement pattern.

Liu Xing was pretty sure the elder had heard him, and there was a fifty percent chance that he would cooperate. The elder didn't reply because he understood that answering could alert the spirit beast to Liu Xing's presence inside this prison of blue walls. There was also a chance that Elder Xia Juetian was simply ignoring him. After all, Liu Xing was a junior, and an elder might consider it beneath him to accept help from a younger person. But Liu Xing gave Elder Xia Juetian the benefit of the doubt, hoping that he would accept the assistance. After all, Elder Xia Juetian was losing.

Liu Xing took a deep breath and tried to time his attack. His Lightning Cloak looked the same as before, but after consuming the Diamond Pills, this technique now consumed more qi in exchange for greater body enhancement. He didn't know exactly how fast he was now, but he thought he could move at least twice as fast as before. As Liu Xing moved, he encased his feet with stable qi and his eyes tried to track all the movement around him. He only had one chance, and he intended to use it to end that spirit beast.

Finally, after several moments of waiting, the time came.

Everything aligned perfectly. Ignoring the blue walls, a line could be drawn from the spirit beast, through Liu Xing, to Elder Xia Juetian's position. Liu Xing focused his gaze ahead. There were hundreds of blue walls in front of him, some rotating in the air, most just moving slowly.

Liu Xing inhaled deeply and shouted, "Now!"

As he shouted, he kicked the ground as hard as he could, moving so fast that the air around him exploded. Yet, Liu Xing could still process everything around him. When he met the first wall, he slashed it. As expected, the wall split easily. He flew between these split walls, repeating the process again and again. Each blue wall in front of him was cut into several pieces.

While the walls weren't completely destroyed, Liu Xing could now see a small tunnel behind him, connecting Elder Xia Juetian and the spirit beast.

There was only one wall left in front of Liu Xing. As he sliced through it, the spirit beast screeched, its scream sounding terrible, like that of a wailing ghost. It stretched out its two snake arms as if it knew that Liu Xing was there, and seeing this attack, Liu Xing jumped into the sky.

"Your problem is not me," Liu Xing shouted as he flew upward. Looking down, he saw Elder Xia Juetian move like a train. A cloud of dust trailed behind him, and he extended his glowing right arm.

"Die!"

When the fist struck the snake's arms, they shattered like a cardboard house hit by a truck. The glowing fist was unstoppable, targeting the pale hand with a yellow eye in the spirit beast's chest.

Liu Xing's heart was pounding in his chest, waiting for the fist to connect, when a cloud of dust suddenly rose around the elder and the spirit beast. Liu Xing summoned his shield and looked down, he heard no loud sound, neither the sound of the explosion nor the sound of the spirit beast being shredded, as if Elder Xia Juetian's fist had missed.

A cold fear began to fill his heart, and when the dust settled, what he saw made his blood run cold. Instead of the elder standing victorious and the spirit beast destroyed, he saw the opposite of what he wanted to see.

The spirit beast, with its pale hand, bushy mustache, and apple ears, was standing, smirking. The elder, with his black eyes, looked shocked. His fist was mere centimeters from hitting the pale arm of the spirit beast, but it didn't reach. He was stopped by another spirit beast. It looked like a giant worm with a human face, and on its back were hundreds of terrified faces, as if there were people trapped inside the worm AND pressing their faces to get out.

This worm-like spirit beast emerged from the ground right where the elder was standing. Its mouth swallowed the elder from feet to chest, and then it closed its teeth. Elder Xia Juetian was cut in two. The lower part was inside its mouth, and from chest to head, he was balancing on the lips and teeth of the oversized worm. Blood dripped from the elder, painting the humanoid face of this worm red.

A gust of wind pushed the remaining part of the elder to the side, and he fell to the ground, his eyes still filled with shock.

"How dare you! How dare you!" the elder shouted, blood gurgling from his mouth. He tried to stretch his arms toward the worm, but the worm, with its blood-soaked face, smiled. Then, like a dolphin, it jumped into the air and descended head first onto the elder with its mouth wide open.

Liu Xing was frozen in place as he watched the elder being swallowed by the worm. Now, there was a hole where the elder had lain, and next to this hole, the elder's arms remained.

"There are two of them," Liu Xing whispered.

He had never considered this outcome. He thought the elder would kill this spirit beast, collect the remains as proof of Wei Yi's sin, and then kill Wei Yi and destroy his clan. At that time, the elder would probably try to kill him too. After all, he knew about the clan's secret, Xia Weiyuan. He had already been preparing for this eventual betrayal, but all of his preparations and expectations were thrown out the window because he never thought Elder Xia Juetian would die.

The giant worm, as big as a cow, resurfaced again in front of the still-smirking spirit beast. They looked at each other as if communicating, then the blue walls suddenly vanished, as if they were sandcastles washed away by a wave.

Liu Xing's heart beat so fast it felt like a drum. His palms were sweaty, and he tried to hold his breath. Though invisible, his shield wasn't, and if they looked up, they would see it.

The worm then opened its mouth so wide it looked like a tunnel big enough for a child to crawl through. From its mouth rolled a ball of meat. The ball was pink, yellow, and red, resembling different meats crushed and packed into one. Beneath this ball of meat, dozens of little worms carried it, like ants trying to bring food to their queen.

Soon after, the ball of meat was right in front of the spirit beast with snakes for arms and apples for ears.

"D-disgusting," it said in a hoarse voice, as if it were a human who had chosen to stop talking for years and decided to speak again. Yet despite what it said, its two snake arms reached for the ball of meat. The snakes caressed it as if it were the most precious pearl in the world and brought it to the spirit beast's mouth.
