“You…dare…” The voice, faint yet chilling, penetrated the hearts of everyone, Humans and Mutant Beasts both.
At this moment, as No.8’s right hand, surrounded by entwined strands of Spiritual Energy, was about to slash Bull Demon’s throat, he suddenly shuddered.
At this moment, waves of flames swept his consciousness. Amidst this encompassing red sea of flames, a pair of beastly eyes slowly materialized.
They resembled rubies, radiant and colorful, yet they were pulsating with an unfathomable power.
Just a mere glance at them made No.8 uncontrollably tremble. It was as if a fearsome creature, engulfed in flames, was roaring at him.
In a flash, his consciousness was entranced, and even his body, mid-air, seemed to freeze.
“No.8…”
“Eight…”
Shocked cries echoed around as the nearby No.7 and No.9’s expression changed drastically.
Only because, in their line of sight, the robust man known as No.8 froze in mid-air.
The whole sequence, though it sounded lengthy, happened in an instant.
Meanwhile, Bull Demon, seizing this opportunity, clenched his right hand and punched No.8 hard, sending him flying.
Just at that moment, the dazed look in No.8’s eyes gradually dissipated.
“What’s going on? What just happened?” No.8’s voice filled with incredulity echoed as he found himself flying, his body coiled like shrimp from the sudden pain in his abdomen.
Yet, at this moment, No.8 was hit with a sense of anxiety, his heartbeat even started racing.
Not just him, the countless Humans, as well as Mutant Beasts in the forests had a drastic change in their expressions.
*Boom…* The next moment, a wave of red flame swept the horizon, drying the horizon like a crimson dusk.
At the same time, the temperature of the forest rose at a rapid pace.
These flames were different from Ling Er’s flame. While Ling Er’s flames were subtle and mysterious, these red flames were violent and scorching.
In just a few breaths, the dry areas in the forest suddenly caught fire because of the rapid rise in temperature.
For a moment, the entire forest seemed to be engulfed in a sea of fire.
And right at this very moment…
*Swoosh…” Accompanied by the sound of something flying at a rapid pace, a red meteor shot out from the dusk-like red flames in the distant horizon.
It looked as if the last rays of sunlight shot straight from the flickering sunset. It was just that it lingered in the air for a long time, until the red tail of flame slowly dissipated.
However, compared to the slowly fading tail of flame in the horizon, the entire ancient forest experienced a true horror.
With a deafening boom, the entire forest seemed to be flipped over by a thunderous force.
Looking up, No.8, who was sent flying across the air, suddenly plummeted toward the ground, crashing fiercely into the earth.
*Boom Boom Boom…*
As No.8 crashed into the ground, the ground sank deeper and deeper, while terrifying waves of soil swept in all directions.
10 meters…
50 meters…
…
100 meters…
The terrifying waves of soil swept through an astonishing one hundred meters from the point of impact.
What was even more terrifying was the appearance of a bottomless pit at the center of soil waves.
Right then, everyone’s gaze changed as if they had discovered something.
It seemed incredulous; everyone was having a hard time accepting it.
In their gazes, a cold figure slowly slumped in the depths of the pit, its knees touching the ground with a thump. Its eyes had lost focus, and the entire body happened to be completely devoid of all life signs.
At this moment, on a closer look, everyone noticed a crimson claw mark on the forehead of this golden figure.
The claw imprint was faint, but the force from it had penetrated the entirety of the golden figure, shattering everything inside him. Not only the internal organs, even his bones were crushed.
At this moment, an extremely horrifying scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
The originally robust golden figure, like a piece of skin, collapsed softly.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Is this for real?”
Even the powerful Superhumans and Mutant Beasts had their faces changed drastically.
This kind of strength was simply too terrifying.
One move, just one move had crushed the insides of a Tier-2 Superhumans into pieces, even the hardest bones.
*Gulp* Subconsciously swallowing their saliva, everyone’s gaze became transfixed in the air.
Just because at this moment, a very beautiful Red Fox flew out from the pit. She was so beautiful that everyone was completely captivated. Her silky fur, though fiery red like flames, was extraordinarily gorgeous, and her pair of red eyes glistened like rubies, with tongues of flames flickering out from the corner of her eyes.
What was even more unbelievable was that she was stepping on air, with waves of flames surging beneath her feet. At a glance, she looked like an elf bathing in flames.
Yet, this mesmerizing Red Fox managed to crush the body of a robust Tier-2 Superhuman with just one claw strike.
““You, you…”” No.7 and 9’s incredulous voices echoed, trembling uncontrollably as a terrifying aura assailed their consciousness, like surging waves.
Different from Bull Demon’s calm and steady aura, Nine Tails’s aura was purely violent.
In addition, Nine Tails carried the Celestial Fox bloodline, which allowed her to rapidly progress in cultivation. Her strength had already surpassed Bull Demon by one or two levels.
Nine Tails was not much weaker than Brewmaster, the most unfathomable Great Beast under Yu Zi Yu’s command. As such, one could imagine how terrifying the aura she was radiating right now.
“Old Second…” Without taking even so much as a glance at the Humans, Nine Tails, who was treading the air, tilted her head, looking at the heavily injured Bull Demon, a hint of coldness flickering in her eyes.
“Elder… Sister…” Looking at Nine Tails, who had arrived just in the nick of time, a look of relief appeared on Bull Demon’s face.
A moment later, as if unable to hold on anymore, Bull Demon staggered.
However, before he could fall down, a wave of flame lifted up his body.
Immediately after, a drop of Life Essence shot out from Nine Tails, shooting into Bull Demon’s mouth.
“Take care of your injuries… leave the rest to us,” Nine Tails stated in Human voice, disregarding the shock in the hearts of those present, before slowly turning around.
“Us!?”
As if realizing something, a sudden voice shattered the deathly silence.
Faintly, numerous Superhumans, and even distant Mutant Beasts felt a chill run down their spine.
“Is it true? Could there be other reinforcements?”
Seemingly confirming these words, howls of winds could be heard in the distance, extremely deafening howls.
At this moment, a wild wind swept through the entire ancient forest, further fueling the flames.
In an instance, half of the forest was ablaze.
