Chapter 273: Sacred Beast of the Witch God Cult!
“You think gathering together will help you escape death?” Yuan Shaoqin smiled and shook his head, saying, “There’s no need to struggle. From the moment you stepped into Falling Immortal Valley, your death was already destined, and no one can escape.”
As he spoke, Yuan Shaoqin spread his arms.
Behind him, circles of light appeared one after another, eight in total!
Then, eight figures wearing purple robes and cloaks appeared, standing behind Yuan Shaoqin.
The eight who appeared all emanated terrifying auras.
These eight people were all powerful warriors of the Martial Venerable realm!
When these eight appeared, the hearts of the martial artists below sank.
They had thought they were only facing Yuan Shaoqin alone, but unexpectedly eight Martial Venerables appeared!
Among all the martial artists present, only six had reached the Martial Venerable realm!
These six were the sect leaders from six different sects!
Besides the six sect leaders at Martial Venerable realm, there were eight elder-level warriors at Master realm.
And the other hundred-plus martial artists were all sect disciples, with the highest cultivation being only half-step Master, and the lowest being only Innate Sixth Stage!
On the path of martial arts, except for extremely rare prodigies, the gap in realms often determines the outcome of a battle.
And the number of warriors is often the most meaningless factor.
One ant can be easily stepped on, and a group of ants can still be easily stepped on.
The enemy had eight Martial Venerable realm powerhouses, plus one black-robed bishop Yuan Shaoqin whose strength was unknown.
While among the hundred-plus martial artists below, only fourteen truly possessed combat power.
Liu Mo and others’ expressions became grave as their hearts sank.
Seeing the change in these martial artists’ expressions, Yuan Shaoqin laughed loudly and said, “Don’t worry, they won’t act personally. I just want them to summon our church’s sacred beast to play with you.”
As he spoke, Yuan Shaoqin turned his head to look at the eight subordinates behind him, signaling them to act.
The eight purple-robed people immediately moved, descending onto a flat piece of ground.
The eight people stood at eight corners, separated by dozens of meters.
They simultaneously formed complex hand seals and began chanting incantations.
Their bodies emanated waves of death energy.
“What are they trying to do!?”
The martial artists watched the eight purple-robed people with shocked expressions.
At this moment, a red beam of light appeared under each of the eight purple-robed people’s feet.
These beams of light shot forward, connecting with the red light emitted from the opposite side.
One beam connected after another.
At this time, if viewed from above, one could clearly see that the red lights shooting from under the eight purple-robed people’s feet intersected with each other, forming an extremely complex formation.
After about ten seconds, the ground suddenly began to shake.
A terrifying aura that made people suffocate emanated from the ground beneath the eight purple-robed people’s feet.
It was accompanied by rumbling sounds.
The eight purple-robed people clasped their hands together and retreated.
But the formation formed by the red light remained on the ground.
“Boom…”
A rumbling sound arose.
The ground’s shaking became increasingly violent.
The martial artists stared intently at the ground ahead, their eyes wide open.
“Bang!”
At this moment, that piece of ground suddenly exploded!
A pure black claw extended from underground!
The terrifying aura enveloped the entire area!
The martial artists’ faces turned pale, and some disciples with lower cultivation and less courage even collapsed to the ground with weak legs.
“Bang!”
Another black claw extended from underground!
These two black claws had a radius of at least two to three meters! Unusually large!
“Boom!”
The rumbling continued unabated, and the ground ahead was nearly collapsing.
A huge figure slowly revealed itself before the martial artists’ eyes.
“This, this is… what kind of monster…”
Even the sect leaders at Martial Venerable realm were too shocked to speak.
Before their eyes appeared a monster over ten meters tall!
It was completely black, had four limbs, and its overall appearance looked like a huge wolf.
But terrifyingly, while it had a wolf-like head at the front of its body, there was another head at the back of its body!
Where there should have been a tail, there was instead a python’s head!
And the python’s body extended from the back, stretching over ten meters long!
Overall, this was a monster with the front half of a giant wolf and the back half of a giant python!
The eyes on both heads glowed with terrifying blood-red light!
Moreover, this monster emanated waves of death energy.
After it appeared, a rotten stench filled the air, making people nauseous.
“This is our church’s sacred beast. Today, the blood sacrifice of your three hundred plus people will be offered to it!” Yuan Shaoqin looked at the monster standing on the ground, his eyes showing reverence and holiness.
“Since you’ve all gathered together, there’s no need for me to activate the blood sacrifice formation to extract your blood and souls.”
“The sacred beast has been dormant for too long, it’s time to let it out for some exercise, and by the way, slaughter all of you.”
Yuan Shaoqin’s eyes were full of bloodthirst as he spoke.
As he spoke, the monster’s wolf head suddenly raised up and looked at the hundred-plus martial artists.
Upon meeting the monster’s gaze, all the martial artists felt their hearts tighten!
Everyone present was stunned!
“Fellow cultivators! Stay focused! We must unite to kill this monster! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!” Liu Mo was the first to come to his senses and shouted.
The martial artists with higher cultivation were awakened by Liu Mo’s words.
However, looking at the enormous creature before them, their hearts still felt weak.
What stood before them wasn’t just some beast, not even a demon beast!
This was a complete monster!
A monster that grew stronger by devouring human blood and souls!
“Bang…”
At this moment, the monster suddenly moved, charging toward the hundred-plus martial artists!
It smelled the scent of blood and souls, its eyes gleaming with bloodthirst!
“All disciples retreat, retreat as far as possible! Half-step Masters take care of the disciples with lower cultivation!”
Liu Mo shouted with his true qi while charging toward the approaching monster!
The hundred-plus disciples with lower cultivation screamed and retreated.
Liu Mo held a long sword in his hand, gathering true qi until it emitted a green light, then slashed forward.
A crescent-shaped sword energy flew toward the monster.
“Crack!”
The sword energy hit the monster’s head directly, but only made a muffled sound.
The monster’s speed didn’t slow at all, and in a few steps, it rushed to Liu Mo’s front, opening its bloody maw.
Liu Mo’s expression changed slightly as he activated his movement technique and immediately retreated.
“Lightning Sword Technique!”
While retreating, Liu Mo raised the sword in his hand.
“Crack!”
Lightning appeared on the sword’s blade.
Liu Mo gripped the sword’s hilt with both hands and slashed forward.
A powerful lightning bolt appeared in the air, striking toward the monster’s head.
“Bang!”
The lightning force struck the monster’s head, but aside from the sound, it caused no other damage.
“Roar…”
The monster let out a long howl, its footsteps becoming faster as it charged toward Liu Mo!
Its speed suddenly increased to another level!
Liu Mo’s face turned pale as he hurriedly activated his movement technique, barely managing to dodge before the monster’s jaws closed.
“Bang!”
At this time, the other Martial Venerables and Masters all attacked!
Everyone used their trump cards, wanting to kill this monster as quickly as possible!
“Monster, die!”
Shen Tianhe shouted loudly, both hands striking out.
A beam of white light containing extreme power struck toward the monster’s head.
The monster opened its bloody maw.
Then, in front of its mouth, a pitch-black hole-like existence actually appeared!
The energy wave Shen Tianhe struck out instantly disappeared into the black hole, vanishing without even a sound.
“This, this monster can even use techniques!?”
All the martial artists present were stunned.
At this moment.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, from within that black hole, a beam of white light burst out, striking back at Shen Tianhe!
Shen Tianhe had no time to react and was instantly hit by this energy wave that he had struck out himself.
“Bang!”
Shen Tianhe was blasted dozens of meters away, falling to the ground, unable to move.
“Sect Leader Shen!”
The martial artists looked toward Shen Tianhe.
At this moment, the monster suddenly accelerated, charging toward the fallen Shen Tianhe.
It walked up to Shen Tianhe, the giant python head from its back half twisted around, opened its mouth, and in one bite swallowed Shen Tianhe!
