Chapter 812: Chapter 812

As they charged out from the Golden Pool, a terrifying black demonic hand emerged from beneath the ground, striking the spot where they had been standing.

A gigantic palm imprint was left on the ground.

If they had been even a moment later, under this terrifying force, they would have surely been dead.

Immediately after, a black-armored giant man with a black horn on his forehead, standing eight feet tall, appeared beneath the Golden Pool.

Even standing there calmly, an aura of terror emanated from him, sweeping towards the surroundings.

In the impact of his aura, the air roared with low rumbling sounds.

"Phew! That was close. If Brother Hao hadn’t warned us in time, we might have been in danger," the three sisters said, sticking their tongues out playfully.

The horned giant man tapped his foot, and within a few flickers, he charged out from beneath the Golden Pool.

Standing across from the small lake, he looked at Zhang Xiaohao and his group with a playful gaze.

"I’m quite curious, kid, how did you discover me?" the horned giant man sneered.

"Intuition!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

"Intuition, huh? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child you can just fool?" the horned giant man mocked.

"If you lack a sense of danger, no matter how strong you are, you’ll always be an ant!" Zhang Xiaohao snickered.

"Haha..." Upon hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, the horned giant man laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

The laughter ceased, and the horned giant man spoke arrogantly.

"Kid, did I hear wrong? You actually dare to mock me as an ant?" Follow current novels on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍

"At least you’re not completely foolish!" Zhang Xiaohao replied indifferently.

"You deserve death!" the horned giant man said murderously.

With his words, a massive aura pressed towards Zhang Xiaohao.

"Early Stage of Void Transformation Realm, huh? I don’t know where you get the confidence to act so arrogant in front of me!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

A massive battle intent surged, forming a Battle Axe, which struck the oppressive aura coming from the horned giant man.

The giant man’s aura was directly shattered by the strike, and the massive battle intent surged back at him.

"Not bad! You’ve got some skill, stronger than those two old dogs from the Murong Family. This makes things more interesting," the horned giant man smiled coldly.

His body shook as torrents of demonic qi erupted from within him, scattering the incoming Battle Axe.

"I have a question for you," Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.

"Do you think just because you ask, I’m obliged to answer?" the horned giant man smirked.

"You will!" Zhang Xiaohao said confidently.

"Why?" the horned giant man said playfully.

"Because you’re a show-off who can’t keep things to himself!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Hmph! What do you want to ask?" the horned giant man replied.

"I’m curious, this place is the Murong Family’s sacred ground. When did it become a Demon Tomb? Also, what’s the deal with this Golden Pool?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.

"Damn lies! Lies about any Murong Family sacred ground! This was originally a Demon Tomb, created from the earthly remains of a great power of my clan after his fall. Unfortunately, the ancestor of the Murong Family was shameless enough to ambush me from behind while I was secluded healing, using sinister means to strike me down! Before dying, I desperately self-destructed and jumped into the Golden Pool."

"Perhaps Heaven hasn’t forsaken me; within the Golden Pool was a pure strand of demonic qi left behind by my clan’s great power! Relying on this strand, my true soul fortunately remained intact, though gravely injured! Recovering fully would need hundreds of years or even more. Thankfully, with this Golden Pool, I used it as bait to trick the old dog of the Murong Family, who kept sending their youth in to fetch treasures."

"They didn’t know that the energy within the pool was transformed from the bodies and blood of the dead! The more people die, the more energy is converted! Haha, every time I just think of it, it makes me too damn excited!" the horned giant man laughed wildly.

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you come out sooner?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a frown.

"Hmph! Do you think I didn’t want to? They say gain and loss go hand in hand; I was successfully revived thanks to the Golden Pool, but also trapped beneath it! Ten years ago, those two fools from the Murong Family originally had the ability to absorb all the energy from the pool to aid my escape, but halfway through the absorption, they suddenly started working out, and then jumped out of the Golden Pool! Ten whole years, every time I think of it, I just want to slash those idiots a thousand times!" the horned giant man replied angrily.

"So, I’m your savior?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"You could say that! Since you helped me get out, I’ll give you a chance to leave a last word. Once I break free, I’ll fulfil your last wish," the horned giant man sneered.

"Haha..." Zhang Xiaohao suddenly laughed recklessly.

"What are you laughing at?" the horned giant man said with a sneer.

"I’m laughing because you’re too confident! If I can release you, I can seal you back again!" Zhang Xiaohao said with overflowing bravado.

"Haha... Kid, it’s not that I underestimate you, but just with your strength at Half-step Void Transformation Realm, you think you can suppress me? Are you here from Heaven to entertain me?" the horned giant man laughed arrogantly.

"You guys step back! Wait for me outside!" Zhang Xiaohao commanded.

"Hmph! Only thinking of leaving now? Don’t you think it’s too late?" the horned giant man sneered.

With a grab of his hand, magical formulas fell from his grasp, accompanied by a low roar: "Dark Demon Realm!"

Following his words, the surging demonic qi in the sky condensed into a massive black barrier, encircling the whole backyard.

Streams of black demonic qi flowed over the dark barrier.

"Kid, in my dark barrier, unless I consent, you can hit your head against the wall and still won’t get out!" the horned giant man taunted.

"Really? If I kill you, can I escape?" Zhang Xiaohao asked coldly.

"Haha! Not that I look down on you, but do you have that capability?" the horned giant man mocked.

"You guys fall back! Take care of yourselves. Later, I might not be able to look out for you," Zhang Xiaohao urged.

The horned giant man before him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

This dangerous feeling, not even the Cycle Palace Realm great powers had ever given Zhang Xiaohao.
