Walking on the ground like entrails, Sun Yan led the way, while Lady Hermione quickly followed under the protection of Joles and his bodyguards.
The light from the phone in their hands emitted a faint glow, barely illuminating the area within a dozen meters.
Staying in the same place, even with a protection circle, is a dead end, and to survive one must leave the protection circle, but if they encounter Izak Hibiya halfway.
The outcome would be almost certain death, but they had no choice; if they didn't leave with Sun Yan, they would definitely meet a gruesome end here.
No one could accept such a fate, especially after having witnessed Izak Hibiya devour the Yin Yang Masters of the Ikegawa Family.
"We're here."
Sun Yan suddenly stopped and looked at a rope hanging down from the passage overhead.
The rope was as thick as a wrist, appearing very sturdy, while on the ground below the passage.
The corpse of the Yin Yang Master who fell with Sun Yan was nowhere to be found, likely consumed by the passing Izak Hibiya.
"I'll go up first, you follow me." Sun Yan waved his hand, cautiously watching the surroundings.
He then grabbed the rope and swiftly climbed up. Lady Hermione, a noblewoman from a North American old-money family, had never done such a thing.
After climbing two meters, she slipped and let go, unable to exert any strength.
With no other choice, Joles carried her on his back and grabbed the rope to climb.
The remaining bodyguards could no longer tolerate the eerie horror in the Greedy Treasure Chest, hurriedly fighting to grab the rope, wanting to climb up before anyone else.
This place could be visited by Izak Hibiya at any moment, with the last one down sure to meet the most tragic fate.
Sun Yan didn't care about their small thoughts, even he was surviving in such a place with his life hanging by a thread, leaving the Greedy Treasure Chest as soon as possible was most important.
But as Sun Yan was about to reach the passage entrance, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
He quickly stopped climbing, and saw an Izak Hibiya crawling out from the passage.
It grinned and roared at Sun Yan, speaking in a language humans couldn't understand.
"Shit!"
Sun Yan's expression changed in shock; he never imagined the Evil God could crawl walls. If he had climbed into the passage and then encountered this thing, it would have been dangerous.
Seeing Izak Hibiya grabbing the rope to climb towards him, Sun Yan immediately swung his Golden Halberd, cutting off its arm.
Izak Hibiya lost balance and fell, but the Evil God's nature was fierce.
Even while falling, it grabbed a bodyguard climbing the rope with one arm and dragged him to the ground.
"Ah!!"
Before the bodyguard could get up and escape, Izak Hibiya bit his shoulder, pinning him down and tearing him apart.
In moments, the bodyguard's body was chewed to pieces, his belly ripped open, intestines exposed, with not a single good piece of flesh visible.
"Hiss!"
Finishing the bodyguard, Izak Hibiya roared with satisfaction.
Within seconds, its body slowly dissipated, turning into a pool of blood merging into the meat wall of the ground.
"A curse, this is the curse of the Greedy Treasure Chest, Izak Hibiya won't die, one must complete a transaction with it to leave."
Watching, Lady Hermione spoke in fear.
Sun Yan looked serious, understanding that completing the transaction meant letting Izak Hibiya feast.
According to the rules of the Greedy Treasure Chest, each outsider generates an Izak Hibiya, meaning this place still has about a dozen survivors.
With Sun Yan's group minus the recently killed bodyguard, five were left.
This indicates some Yin Yang Masters are still alive in the world inside the Greedy Treasure Chest.
"Killing Izak Hibiya should also count as completing the transaction, right?" Sun Yan asked.
"It should count, but I've never heard Park Guochang say anyone has achieved it; Father Jack, you would be the first." Lady Hermione smiled bitterly.
Just as she finished speaking, various roars echoed suddenly from all directions.
The sound was the strange language from Izak Hibiya's mouth, as they saw in the distant darkness, one after another Izak Hibiya crawling as if summoned.
Drooling madly, like ravenous beasts eager for a feast.
The bodyguards hanging on the rope panicked upon seeing this, shouting in fear: "Climb! Hurry up!"
Sun Yan's eyes were heavy as he watched the dozen approaching Izak Hibiya.
According to Lady Hermione's treasure chest rules, if they failed to complete the transaction with all Izak Hibiya, no one would leave alive.
Even climbing to the top of the passage would only lead to being pursued and blocked by Izak Hibiya.
These creatures could climb the meat wall, something everyone had witnessed.
In their presence, mere fleeing wouldn't ensure survival; only battle could.
Sending Joles and the others against Izak Hibiya would be meaningless; their only use was to let Izak Hibiya feast and complete a transaction.
But that wouldn't help because so many Izak Hibiya were nearby, leaving hope only with Sun Yan.
Fortunately, although Izak Hibiya couldn't be truly killed, they weren't overly powerful, and Sun Yan's methods could manage.
Thinking this, Sun Yan released the rope and jumped down, shouting to Joles as he landed: "Get up first, quickly."
Joles and the other bodyguards dared not delay, immediately speeding up their climb.
Watching the charging Izak Hibiya, Sun Yan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"Don't panic, I have the means to fight, Mo Lihai, assist me!"
Facing the most dangerous situation since becoming an Exorcist, Sun Yan held nothing back, immediately using 'Incense Ash Magical Power', activating the Mo Lihai Artwork behind him.
A ten-foot tall Mo Lihai Dharma Aspect appeared behind Sun Yan, holding a Jade Pipa and staring angrily at all directions.
With Sun Yan's will, Mo Lihai plucked the pipa strings, sending curved sound waves, causing the fastest Izak Hibiya to clutch their ears and tumble.
Seizing the chance, Sun Yan rushed forward with large strides, lifting the Golden Halberd to decapitate one, then turned to assault another Izak Hibiya.
Without the Divine Power of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao supporting his Martial Arts Physique, Sun Yan, as a mere mortal, couldn't display such ferocious strength.
No matter how weak Izak Hibiya individually was, they couldn't be killed by mere mortals.
As Sun Yan killed three Izak Hibiya, he was surrounded, unable to fend off multiple attacks; one Izak Hibiya attacked from behind, grabbing Sun Yan's back.
In an instant, the Big Red Numbered Shirt representing Mountain-Opening Fierce General flared with dim red light, throwing Izak Hibiya away.
Sun Yan's axe swung, severing another Izak Hibiya's wrist.
"Damn, too many of them!"
Awkwardly dodging an Izak Hibiya's swipe with a roll, Sun Yan cursed as he got up.
After all, man and god are different; depending solely on his power to deal with so many Evil Gods at once was too hard.
Moreover, his incense offerings were too few, able only to summon one Dharma Aspect; if the Golden Seal were still here, Sun Yan could summon Mountain-Opening Python, General Sun, and Mo Lihai together, defeating these Japan Evil Gods in moments.
