Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 283 – Giant goats have been demonized

The three of them left the ancient mansion outside the imperial city. It was still dark outside, and the entire city was shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to see far.

The strong smell of calamity ash in the fog had not dissipated.

Su Yun turned around and saw that Bai Ze's mansion had disappeared into the dense fog. He felt a slight movement in his heart and turned to check, only to find that there was nothing where the mansion used to be!

Bai Ze's mansion had disappeared out of thin air!

"How strange..."

Su Yun thought to himself, "It seems that I must learn the ability to enter the hidden book realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous for the sect master to not be able to enter his own book realm."

They walked towards Lanling Street along the street. The city was silent in the early morning, with no bustling crowds or pedestrians, only dim calamity ash lamps on the road.

The street was unusually quiet. Su Yun, Zuo Songyan, and Xing Jiangmu walked in the fog without speaking.

Su Yun was good at remembering the way. As long as he walked once, he would not get lost. Even in such dense fog, he could easily return to Lanling Street.

They walked for an unknown amount of time when suddenly they saw two huge rectangular fire troughs floating in the fog ahead. The fire troughs were burning with quiet calamity fire, motionless.

Su Yun slowed down and approached slowly. He saw a giant pan-goat standing in the middle of the street, reaching a height of more than ten zhang. It had no wool on its body, only skin with human-like texture, but its skin was dark.

The two long horns of the pan-goat were curved, almost touching the ground. There was a wooden building at each curve of the horns.

The fire troughs they saw were the rectangular pupils of this pan-goat.

The pan-goat stood motionless in the middle of the street, staring with wide eyes as if it hadn't seen them.

Su Yun was already familiar with the pan-goat carriage. The roar of this kind of behemoth was earth-shattering, but its temperament was relatively gentle. Part of the carriage was placed on the back of the pan-goat, forming a house on its back, while some small pavilions were placed at the curves of its horns.

There should also be a pavilion on the back of the pan-goat in the middle of the street, but it had been removed.

Su Yun could still see the thick beast skin armor and steel plates on its body, as well as the large reins that had been refined with concentration.

"This pan-goat is strange."

Xing Jiangmu came to Su Yun's side and whispered, "Young Master, I have been in Cloud City for more than ten years and have traveled at night countless times, but I have never seen such a scene!"

Su Yun whispered, "Be careful."

.

He wasn't too worried, after all, Zuo Songyan was by his side. Although Zuo Songyan's strength was not as good as the Dao Saint, he was still formidable.

The three of them walked past the pan-goat without it moving.

But as they took a few steps forward, they saw two more fire troughs floating in the darkness, with calamity fire burning quietly inside.

When they approached and looked, they saw another giant pan-goat standing in the middle of the street, staring straight ahead as if it hadn't seen them.

It also had thick beast skin armor and steel plates on its back, as well as large reins.

Su Yun, Xing Jiangmu, and Zuo Songyan continued walking. At this time, they saw rows of fire troughs burning on both sides of the street, twenty zhang high!

Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu's eyes twitched. As they approached, they saw more than ten pan-goats standing upright on their hind legs like humans, motionless in the fog.

Su Yun looked closely and saw that these pan-goats were also entangled with reins, just like the two pan-goats before.

"Lord Shao, look ahead!"

Xing Jiangmu lowered his voice, his voice trembling, "Look ahead!"

Su Yun looked ahead. The dense fog covered the view, but in the fog, about a hundred zhang above the ground, two rectangular fire troughs were floating in the air!

"It's impossible for there to be such large pan-goats!" Su Yun exclaimed.

Zuo Songyan was also startled and exclaimed, "If they are that big, then they are not pan-goats, but demons!"

Xing Jiangmu suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, laughing, "I almost forgot, that's the Bell Tower. This street is directly facing the Bell Tower, which has the largest bell in Da Qin. It is said to be a sacred object. The pan-goat must be standing on the Bell Tower. At first glance, I thought there was such a huge pan-goat in Cloud City."

"The Bell Tower's sacred bell?"

Su Yun had some impression. There was indeed a large bell hanging above the buildings directly facing this street. The bell was probably four or five zhang high, and the top floor of the building was a diamond-shaped hollow structure, with the bell hanging in the center.

Xing Jiangmu laughed, "The reason why that bell is a sacred object is because it once helped the people of Da Qin resist the pan-goat rebellion. It has killed countless pan-goats and has been refined by several legendary figures of Da Qin. Therefore, it is revered as a sacred bell."

"Why are the pan-goats standing next to the sacred bell?" Su Yun asked in confusion.

He activated the Heavenly Eye of the Dao Gate, and a vertical eye appeared on his forehead, slowly opening its eyelids.

At the same time, Zuo Songyan's forehead also had a Heavenly Eye opening. The two of them looked at the Bell Tower at the same time.Su Yun could only vaguely see the outline of the clock tower, and in the haze, he could see a huge shadow standing on the clock tower. At this moment, Zuo Songyan's face changed drastically, and he stood in front of the two of them: "Be careful!"

The mist in the street suddenly trembled violently, and the heavy mist was pushed away by an invisible force. A huge bronze bell fell from the sky and collided diagonally!

Zuo Songyan pushed forward with both hands, his blood and qi surged, turning into a surging star stream, like a magnificent galaxy, impacting the incoming holy bell!

The diagonally colliding bronze bell was the holy bell hanging on the clock tower. Su Yun's Tian Yan was the Tian Yan of the Dao Sect, unable to see the scene on the clock tower, but he could see internally and the surroundings. However, in terms of vision, it was far inferior to the Xin Xue.

Zuo Songyan's Tian Yan was the Xin Xue Tian Yan he learned when he studied abroad more than thirty years ago. It couldn't keep up with the current Xin Xue Tian Yan, but he could still see the giant goat-like figure standing on the clock tower, taking down the holy bell and throwing it towards them!

"Dang—"

A loud sound resounded, and Zuo Songyan's palm touched the holy bell. His face changed again. The power contained in the holy bell was actually stimulated by the giant goat!

Although the holy bell was not a Great Saint Spirit Weapon, each owner's strength during the chaos caused by the giant goat was extremely high, and the power of this treasure was refined to be extremely terrifying!

In addition, after the chaos caused by the giant goat ended, the holy bell was hung on the clock tower and worshipped for a hundred and seventy years, almost evolving into a Great Saint Spirit Weapon!

Zuo Songyan directly received the power of the holy bell, staggering back, his palms flying, constantly patting the holy bell to neutralize its power.

At the same time, Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu avoided the holy bell, and they saw the holy bell rotating and flying from the center of the street. The bell mouth was facing downwards, and the stone-paved ground was instantly shattered by the sound of the bell, with debris flying everywhere.

When Su Yun leaned against the edge of the street, he suddenly became alert in his heart. He moved his feet, flew up like a startled swan, and two Tian Peng wings spread out behind him, narrowly avoiding the claws of the giant goat behind him!

The claws of the giant goat were not ordinary goat hooves. They were as sharp as dragon claws and eagle claws, extremely sharp and powerful!

In the instant that Su Yun flew away with his wings, the giant goat suddenly opened its mouth, full of sharp teeth, and roared at Su Yun!

The air on the street suddenly trembled, and the air seemed to become extremely viscous, fixing Su Yun's figure in mid-air.

Su Yun's figure suddenly changed, and scales emerged from under his skin, turning into a young kun fish, shaking its head and tail, swimming in the viscous air, narrowly avoiding the attack of the giant goat.

"These giant goats have been demonized!"

Su Yun's heart trembled slightly. "Could it be that the chaos caused by the giant goats two hundred years ago is going to happen again?"

At this moment, one after another giant goat rushed towards them on the street, their speed extremely fast!

What was even more terrifying was that the smell of calamity in the air became stronger and stronger. These giant goats absorbed the smell of calamity in the air and seemed to have become even more powerful than before!

Su Yun keenly sensed that the strength and speed of these giant goats had greatly increased!

Moreover, he could even feel the demonic aura surging inside the giant goats.

A giant goat lowered its head and rammed into the young kun fish that Su Yun had transformed into, and its long horns pressed against him as it ran forward, heading straight for the clock tower at the end of the street at a high speed!

Su Yun returned to his human form and immediately activated his divine ability, being enveloped by the Huang Zhong!

"Boom!"

The giant goat slammed into the clock tower with Su Yun, causing the huge clock tower to tremble violently.

The giant goat retreated, and another giant goat lowered its head and charged forward, followed by a loud bang. The giant goat collided with Su Yun again, followed by the third and fourth ones!

Just as the fifth giant goat was about to charge, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, and the two curved horns of the giant goat broke in mid-air. However, the giant goat didn't realize it and still lowered its head to charge forward.

The broken horns were extremely sharp, and one of them pierced into the wall of the clock tower, making it impossible to pull out for a while.

Su Yun held the sword and shook his body, falling off the wall and landing lightly on the ground.

His face remained calm, holding a three-foot wooden sword in his hand.

He walked past the giant goat, gently swinging the sword. The wooden sword was only three feet long and seemed to have no power, but a bright sword light suddenly flashed through the dense mist, spanning more than ten zhang, passing through the neck of the giant goat!

The giant goat was still trying to pull out its horns with force, but with this effort, its head and massive body separated, with a clean cut!

The mist on the street was dense, and the roar of the giant goat could be faintly heard, but the whereabouts of the giant goat could not be seen. From a distance, Xing Jiangmu's shouts and the sound of the holy bell could be heard. Xing Jiangmu should have also been targeted by the giant goat, while Zuo Songyan was forced to retreat by the holy bell!

"This is a trap targeting me. By forcing Lao Piaozi and Xing Jiangmu away, the demonized giant goats can take the opportunity to get rid of me."

Su Yun held the wooden sword, pointed downwards, and walked forward along the quiet street, thinking to himself, "So, who is the person they want to get rid of?"There were too many people in this world who wanted to kill him. He didn't even need to consider Yuan Shuo, for there were probably enough people in Da Qin who wanted him dead to form a line from the Yuan Shuo embassy to the imperial palace.

Suddenly, a massive shadow appeared behind Su Yun. It was a ram, which had previously had its eyes closed. Now, its eyes slowly opened, and instantly, a silent, raging fire ignited within its eyes, like two fiery pits.

The ram silently raised its sharp claws, ready to strike. Su Yun, however, abruptly raised his arm and swung his sword backward.

His wooden sword was short, but in the mist, a sharp and brilliant sword light flashed. The ram, towering over twenty feet high, was split diagonally, its upper body sliding down.

Whoosh—

One after another, rams leaped out, appearing like horned demons in the mist, all attacking Su Yun at once!

Su Yun held his wooden sword, moving his feet, and executed sword moves on the chaotic streets. His understanding of swordsmanship came from Li Muge. When he was at Wenchang Academy, he had paid Li Muge to teach him swordsmanship for over ten days.

In Li Muge's view, Su Yun was not someone who would dedicate everything to swordsmanship. However, Su Yun had inexplicably mastered the swordsmanship that others could only dream of, which showed his talent in this field!

And now, Su Yun was merely using the most basic swordsmanship that Li Muge had taught him on the foggy streets. However, as he executed this basic set of sword moves, sword lights that were over ten feet long kept lighting up in the misty streets!

"Shi! Shi! Shi!"

Sword lights crisscrossed, slicing through the bodies of the charging rams.

Su Yun sheathed his sword. The wooden sword in his hand trembled slightly, transforming back into a small wooden box.

Around him, in the mist, rams were being cut into pieces, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard continuously.

In the mist, there was a rustling sound. It was the cloud of dust transformed from the sky, merging with the mist of Yun City.

Just now, Su Yun had used the key to the Tongtian Pavilion, a wooden box, to control the dust sky and kill these rams!
