The movement from deep within the cave grew increasingly clear, accompanied by a chilling low growl, as if an ancient giant beast were about to awaken. Lu Chen gripped the Sword of Light tightly. The radiance emanating from the blade illuminated the deep cave, casting a glow upon his resolute face.

A pair of blood-red eyes emitted a ferocious light, and its exposed fangs were enough to curdle the blood.
