Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 624 - A Temptation For Survival And Power

"Hahaha, do you think you can escape this easily?" Tian Han laughed as he stood beyond the barrier.

Tian Chu gritted her teeth as he saw the man in front of her. She had understood by now that they had fallen into Tian Han's plan. But the only thing that she didn't understand was that how this had even occurred.

"You dare break the Clans Rules! Tian Han, have you become so shameless?" Tian Chu shouted.

"Haha! I never broke a rule." Tian Han stated. "The rules state that we cannot kill each other, but I am not doing that. Can't you see? It's the beast. I'm just standing here." He added.

"You! The patriarch would never forgive this! Do you really think you can get the position of the top member of this generation like this? If we die, the clan will certainly investigate this all." Tian Chu said as she frantically tried to get past the barrier.

A barrier was now standing in front of her that prevented her from going any further. It was evident that the barrier had been made a long time in advance, but she couldn't tell how. 

"Tell you what… if you are willing to handover all the flowers and fruits, I might let you leave." Tian Han said.

"NEVER! Do you think I'm a fool!?" Tian Chu replied.

"Well, have fun there then." Tian Han casually said as he retreated to the back.

"Are you that confident in escaping the Crocodile head wolf? When we are dead, the beast will come after you!" Tian Chu said, trying to counter the man.

"Haha, that would be possible if the beast could sense me. Right now only you can see me." Tian Han said smugly.

Tian Chu's attention went to the six rings that were on Tian Han's body and understood that it must be some other treasure that Tian Han had.

'How did he get so many items? Does Elder Jigou really favor him that much?' Tian Chu couldn't help but wonder.

She could also tell that the barrier in front of her was not simple and could not be made by just any formation master. It would take someone very proficient in such barriers and would even need some good resources to make it.

~ROAR~

~SPLATTER~

~CRASH~

"AHH!"

"SAVE ME!"

"RUN!!!"

While Tian Chu was thinking this, the other members of the Tian clan were being killed by the Crocodile Head Wolf. It was obvious that the beast could have easily killed them all at once, but was taking pleasure in hunting them down one by one.

'The beast is in collusion with that guy?' Lin Wu, who was observing it all wondered.

By now, he was finding the entire thing strange and suspicious.

A frown appeared on his face as he made a decision.

~TREMBLE~

The ground shook as the Crocodile head Wolf rushed towards Tian Chu. All the others had been killed and eaten by the beast, with the remains being stuck on its face and body. The blood dripped from the scales on his head and looked gruesome.

Its scarlet eyes glared at Tian Chu with a great desire and sent shivers down her spine.

"I WON'T DIE LIKE THIS!" Tian Chu yelled as she threw out two daggers.

~SHUA~ SHUA~

The Daggers flew at a great speed and could barely be seen as blurs. 

~clink~

The first dagger struck the head of the beast and was deflected with ease. The scales were far to hard to pierce.

~Slick~

But the second dagger managed to cut the side of the beast.

~ROAR~

The Crocodile Head Wolf growled in anger as the pain from the cut affected it. Tian Chu took this opportunity to fly up and circle around the beast. She recalled the daggers, and they came to fly by her side.

Brining her hands together, she chanted something and threw out an illusory figure of a fan.

"Tempest Dance Fan!" She shouted as the illusory figure enlarged.

The fan became corporeal and Tian Chu controlled with her hands. It moved and followed her hands, sending out sharp winds that actually managed to push the Crocodile Head Wolf back.

"Oh? Seems like you do have some worth." Tian Han admitted seeing Tian Chu managing to hold for a bit. "But it's useless." He scoffed.

~ROAR~

The Crocodile head wolf roared in frustration and decided to stop playing.

~DENG~DENG~DENG~

Ignoring all the attacks that were coming towards it, the beast sprinted towards Tian Chu with its jaws opened wide. The pressure exuding from the beast was enough to paralyze a normal person and could even affect a cultivator.

Tian Chu did her best to resist and tried to dodge it. All her focus was put into the spirit sword that was carrying her and allowed her to maneuver expertly through the air.

~swoop~

The Crocodile head Wolf swiped its tail and tried to hit Tian Chu, but she avoided it by the hair's breadth.

~HUU~

She took a deep breath as death slipped past her. 

'Am I gonna die here?' She questioned herself.

~Ding~

But just as she thought that, another sound was heard. As if a needle had been dropped on a metal plate, a faint but far reaching ring spread in her head.

"Do you want to live?" A voice said in her head.

"Huh?" But Tian Chu was far too confused to understand it.

"Do you want to survive this?" The voice spoke again.

Tian Chu didn't answer to this either.

"Do you want power?" The voice tempted.

As if time had stood still for Tian Chu her body froze in place and so did the Crocodile Head Wolf.

"YES!" She answered decisively as her mind finally grasped it.

She didn't know if she was hallucinating or if she was dead already having a strange dream. She wanted to take the chance and would give anything for it now. Tian Han's act had already shown her that going by the rules did not work and she would have to be better and stronger.

"GIVE ME POWER! I WANT TO LIVE!" Tian Chu shouted out loud as the beast's open maw threated to close on her body.
