How... how did he discover it?
Could it be that Chen Guan actually has space-related abilities too?
Yin Chen's mind immediately started brainstorming, frantically recalling the books he had read.
Finally, he found a reasonable explanation.
Since "Death's Descent" could communicate with the underworld, that should count as being related to space, right?
Thank goodness, everything made perfect sense.
Chen Guan glanced at Yin Chen's rapidly changing expression and understood what was going on.
No matter what reason he had come up with, in short, he had convinced himself.
Yin Chen and An Changqing sat at the same table.
Hong Yuan also stopped halfway through her charge. She asked herself if she could cleave that cheetah in half with one axe strike.
But it would be absolutely impossible for her to knock it out directly at the landing point of its spatial traversal in such an effortless manner.
What kind of terrifying insight did this require?
She was just reckless, not stupid; she knew her own limits perfectly well.
If it were her, she couldn't have done it.
"Don't space out."
Chen Guan's voice came through the earpiece.
"It called its companions ahead of time."
Before his voice faded, incessant hissing echoed through the chaotic stone forest.
Immediately after, one dark purple flash of lightning after another lit up on the stone pillars around them.
Four, five, six...
A full eight Lightning Cheetahs revealed themselves from all directions, completely surrounding the three of them.
They did not attack immediately. Instead, they paced like cats, constantly shrinking the encirclement, their purple eyes locked onto the trio, looking for an opening.
The pressure in the air suddenly rose.
Yin Chen had learned his lesson this time. He stood back-to-back with Hong Yuan, his mental energy highly concentrated, sensing every hint of spatial fluctuation.
These cheetahs weren't strong individually; if they took a solid hit from him, they would die. But they were extremely difficult to touch.
No wonder the upper limit of this kind of demonic beast wasn't high, and their numbers were few. If their upper limit were high, it would simply be a disaster.
"Chen Guan, what do we do?" Hong Yuan's voice was a bit dry.
Being surrounded by so many space-attribute demonic beasts, even she felt her scalp tingle.
You never knew which angle the next attack would come from.
This ghost-like kind was the most terrifying.
"Yin Chen," Chen Guan didn't answer Hong Yuan, but directly issued an order.
"Here."
"Using yourself as the center, raise an ice wall with a radius of fifty meters and enclose us."
Yin Chen's movements paused for a moment.
Enclose us?
He couldn't understand this command.
They were already surrounded. If they enclosed themselves with an ice wall, wouldn't they become turtles in a jar, completely cutting off their retreat?
Yin Chen only thought for a moment before hesitating no longer; his trust in Chen Guan had overwhelmed his tactical doubts.
"I'll listen to you!"
He opened his arms, and ice-blue frigid air spread madly from beneath his feet, finally erupting with a boom.
"Rise!"
Crack, crack, crack.
The ground trembled violently. Accompanied by the sound of shattering rocks, ice walls several meters thick rose from the ground one after another.
They connected end to end, eventually forming a massive circular gladiatorial arena, trapping the three students and the eight cheetahs entirely inside.
Even the sunlight was obscured by the towering ice walls, and the light inside the arena instantly dimmed.
This sudden change caused a brief commotion among the pack of Lightning Cheetahs.
Under these circumstances, Chen Guan moved. He walked toward the center of this circular arena.
He became the most conspicuous eye of the storm on this battlefield.
One cheetah lost its patience. Relying on pure speed, it turned into a purple-black bolt of lightning and pounced at Chen Guan from the side.
Fast, fast to the extreme.
But Chen Guan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He didn't even turn around; right at the moment the sharp claws were about to touch his back, his body shifted half a step to the left at an unbelievable angle.
The sharp claws grazed past his combat suit. Almost simultaneously with his dodge, he thrust the handle of the scythe in his hand backward with a backhand grip.
Thump.
It was another familiar muffled thud.
The ambushing cheetah was accurately struck on the back of the neck the moment it overshot its charge. Following in the footsteps of its first companion, it collapsed to the ground unconscious without a sound.
This scene completely ignited the ferocity of the cheetah pack.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a furious roar, the remaining seven cheetahs launched their attacks simultaneously from different directions.
They abandoned the patience of a pack hunt, intending to use the most primitive violence to tear the human before them, who brought them such a massive threat, to shreds.
Yin Chen's ice spikes whistled down, but the cheetahs nimbly dodged them, leaving them to only explode into clouds of ice shards on the ground.
Hong Yuan roared as she met one of the cheetahs head-on. The giant axe clashed with the sharp claws, emitting a loud sound of colliding metal.
But there were still five more, their targets clear, all rushing toward Chen Guan.
Chen Guan stood right where he was. Facing lethal pounces from five directions, his perpetually expressionless face still showed no changes.
His body moved.
Those were not movements a human should possess.
Every step he took landed in the gaps of their attacks, and every sidestep perfectly avoided their deadly claws.
The scythe in his hands was no longer a weapon, but more like an extension of his body.
Thump.
A cheetah pouncing from the front was met head-on with an upward strike to its jaw, sending it tumbling away.
Thump.
The cheetah on the left had just leaped up when he crouched and delivered a sweeping strike to its abdomen, leaving it limp on the ground.
Thump, thump, thump.
The dense sounds of striking were like a waltz of death composed for a hunt.
A surefire killing formation composed of several Tier 4 demonic beasts was dismantled by him alone in less than ten seconds.
This clean and swift clearing efficiency showed he was simply born for battle.
Suddenly, an aura far surpassing all the previous demonic beasts rose from the depths of the stone forest.
Outside the ice wall, the cheetah leader responsible for standing guard let out a roar of extreme fury.
It had not expected that the elites it sent to test the waters would be wiped out in such a manner.
A dark purple rift, much larger than any of the previous spatial rifts, tore open out of thin air above the ice wall.
A massive claw covered in black scales and wrapped in purple lightning reached out from the rift and slammed heavily toward the ice wall below.
A Tier 5 demonic beast, the Lightning Cheetah Leader, had personally taken the field.
Boom!
The full-force strike of a Tier 5 demonic beast was enough to tear through steel and shatter mountain rocks.
Yin Chen had raised his barrier to its limit, preparing to meet that irresistible impact. Hong Yuan's muscles bulged as she lowered her center of gravity, an earthy yellow light glowing on the blade of her giant axe as she prepared to take this earth-shattering blow head-on.
However, the expected heaven-shaking collision did not occur.
The moment the giant claw wrapped in lightning touched the top of the ice wall, it instead let out a crisp cracking sound, like shattering glass.
Centered on the tip of the claw, the entire world shattered inch by inch.
The towering ice walls, the dim sky, the hard ground beneath their feet, and even the bloody scent permeating the air all turned into countless flying fragments before vanishing into nothingness.
A strong sense of dizziness assaulted the nerves of Yin Chen and Hong Yuan.
The next moment, they found themselves still standing in that rugged stone forest.
Around them were jagged stone pillars, and beneath their feet was dirt mixed with black powder.
The circular gladiatorial arena, the thick ice walls—none of it existed anymore.
Illusions. Pretty amazing, right?

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
