The great commotion startled everyone in the Stone Tribe, including the recently arrived members of the Qin Tribe, who looked at the massive figure in horror.
The huge figure that had broken through the Stone Tribeâs stone walls was from the Giant Ghost Clan, which, like the Human Clan, resided in this Small World. Standing at a towering height of forty feet, it exerted an intense sense of oppression. In its presence, the Human Clan appeared frail and diminutive.
The appearance and stature of this member of the Giant Ghost Clan was somewhat similar to that of the Human Clan, save for its colossal size.
Not only that, but the Giant Ghost Clanâs skin was a pale blue color, its muscles tight and its form remarkably perfect. One could only imagine the strength contained within such a body.
The pale blue-skinned Giant Ghost Clan, with fangs protruding from its lips, burst into a wide grin, "Hahaha, looks like thereâs more delicious food today."
As it spoke, the Giant Ghost Clan member reached deep into its massive belt, grabbed a powerless old man, and tossed him into its mouth to chew.
Seeing this scene, everyone within the Stone Tribe turned deathly pale, faces filled with terror.
It seemed as though this scene would be their own end.
"Thatâs right, this is one of the Venerable Level powerhouses from the Giant Ghost Clan that attacked our Qin Tribe. I really didnât expect him to arrive so soon!" Seeing that massive figure, Qin Xing clenched his fists tightly, filled with fury.
"The strength of the Giant Ghost Clan is far too great," Shi Yun said solemnly, gazing at the huge figure. "Normally, it takes five Venerable Level warriors from the Human Clan to barely contend with one Venerable Level member of the Giant Ghost Clan."
Venerable Level, which is the Nirvana Realm, Lin Qian estimated that the aura of this Giant Ghost Clan member was about at the Fourth Level.
Members of other clans were different from the Human Clan; they had no Martial Soul, no nine turns of nirvana. But the advantage of this Giant Ghost Clan member was clear: its physical body.
A large stature and strength provided a significant advantage in battle.
The Human Clan of this Small World lacked proper cultivation methods, no Primordial Weapon nor Soul Device, and the racial talents remained undeveloped, putting them at a disadvantage in dealing with other clans.
"Sir, with Qin Xing, myself, Shi Niu, and Shi Meng, we have four people. Along with you, that makes five. We should be able to slay him before the other Giant Ghost Clan members arrive," Shi Yun said resolutely, a determined look in his eyes. "This time, let me be the one to sacrifice."
"Old Shi..." Hearing Shi Yunâs words, Qin Xing sighed deeply.
To slay a Venerable Level member of the Giant Ghost Clan not only required five warriors of the same level from the Human Clan but also the sacrifice of one to create an opportunity. It had always been so unless the numbers were more than five.
"You all go and calm our clansmen. Leave this Giant Ghost Clan member to me alone," Lin Qian said with a hint of amusement, observing the bleak demeanor of Qin Xing and Shi Yun.
The two men were startled, with Shi Yun particularly anxious, "Sir, facing the Giant Ghost Clan alone is tantamount to suicide. Even by your own admission, sir, youâre only a Venerable Level warrior. I cannot let our benefactor risk his life."
"Risking my life? Hahaha..." Lin Qian laughed uproariously, as if he had heard the greatest joke, before turning and walking towards the pool of water, "Such small fry doesnât even warrant my concern."
Qin Xing and Shi Yun exchanged a glance, bit their teeth, and hurriedly followed Lin Qian.
Especially Shi Yun, who had made up his mind to protect Lin Qianâs safety at all costs.
"Eh, where did this tiny Human Clan settlement get so much clean water?" The Giant Ghost Clan member who had entered the Stone Tribe mused curiously upon seeing the pool beneath his feet.
It was at this moment he noticed a young Human Clan member walking toward him.
The Giant Ghost Clan member realized there was something different about this Human Clan youth; not only was he clean, but his skin wasnât as pale as the others in this place.
"Hey, little thing, youâve got guts," the Giant Ghost Clan member looked down at Lin Qian curiously. "To think you wouldnât run upon seeing your Uncle Ah Tuo arrive."
"Why is it that only you from the Giant Ghost Clan who attacked the Qin Tribe came to the Stone Tribe?" Lin Qian looked up at the giant of the Giant Ghost Clan and said coldly.
At this moment, Qin Xing and Shi Yun also arrived at Lin Qianâs side, facing this Giant Ghost Clan member called Ah Tuo. It felt as if a massive mountain weighed down on their hearts, making it almost stop beating.
The past history of the Human Clan in this Small World had brought too much pressure on their minds.
"Tiny insect, do you want to probe for intelligence? Why should I tell you?" Ah Tuo, propping up his chin, looked at Lin Qian with interest. "You look soft and tender. If you cut off your right arm and let me have a taste, I might tell youâhow about that?"
Qin Xing and Shi Yunâs faces darkened. In front of the Giant Ghost Clan, the Human Clan was just so despicable, merely food!
"Probe for intelligence?" Lin Qian sneered at this Ah Tuo, his Soul Power concentrating in his throat as he roared, "Donât get me wrong, garbage. I am ordering you to answer my question, I didnât allow you to spout any superfluous rubbish."
The roar infused with Soul Power echoed throughout the Stone Tribe, and the previously panicked Human Clan was astonished as they looked towards the direction of the pond.
Qin Xing and Shi Yun, standing next to Lin Qian, were likewise stunned as they looked at the young man.
In their understanding, the Human Clan only knew fear, flight, and the unwilling struggle when facing the Giant Ghost Clan.
Every time they faced the Giant Ghost Clan, they were humble and humiliated. They had never been like Lin Qian.
The tall Ah Tuoâs face showed astonishment, which was quickly followed by a ferocious expression: "Human, youâve got guts. Youâre just beasts that we breed, and you dare talk to me like this?"
Boom!
The deafening roar of thunder filled the air, buzzing in everyoneâs ears in the Stone Tribe. Then, they saw a massive thunder turning into a half-moon Sword Qi, rushing forward.
Whoosh!
The crimson-gold Thunder Sword Qi instantly pierced through Ah Tuoâs shoulder. A thin line of blood appeared on his bare shoulder.
Sizzle!
Blood sprayed out as the colossus-like Ah Tuo from the Giant Ghost Clan had his right arm neatly severed from his shoulder, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Ahhhh!!"
Ah Tuo, clutching his shoulder, staggered back two steps, screaming in agony as blood spurted out like fountains.
Earth-yellow colored Soul Power emerged from inside his body, sealing the wound on his right arm, preventing more blood from flowing out, while his left hand reached towards the pouch at his waist.
Whoosh!
Another Sword Qi laced with thunder passed by, vestige of blood appeared Ah Tuoâs pouch on the ground, and his left handâs five fingers were severed too, with five jets of blood spurting out.
Immediately afterward, a large hand condensed from Thunder Soul Power appeared, taking hold of the spacious pouch, and gently set it down behind him.
At this moment, Ah Tuo, the towering member of the Giant Ghost Clan, trembled uncontrollably because of the pain and the fear in his heart.
All of this came from the young man of the Human Clan, bathed in the crimson-gold Thunder Soul Power.
In his eyes, he saw only disdain, contempt, and disappointment reflected in the young manâs gaze.
"Giant Ghost Clan, truly a weak race."
