entangled

The newly repaired demon-slaying array was forcibly torn open amidst the Gu woman's maniacal laughter, and the Rat-Head Flower swept along the Yanshi Ridge mountain range to the outskirts of Koujia Town in an instant.

Ordinary villagers who were chopping wood and washing clothes in the forest were swallowed up by the sea of ​​rat-head flowers before they could even figure out what was happening.

"Ahhh! Help!"

"A monster! Run!"

"No, don't kill me! Ahhh—"

The rampant rat-head flower spread wildly, instantly devouring a man who was rolling and screaming in agony, leaving him as a blood-soaked survivor who ran towards the town.

But the rat-head flowers were even faster, almost instantly engulfing half the town.

The quickest demon master in town immediately lit a torch, burning a patch of rat-head flowers to death. The rat-head flowers retreated slightly, then pounced on the fire again, growing even more fiercely.

"Quickly, use fire! Burn them! Burn them—"

Before the man could finish speaking, a figure ten feet tall suddenly leaped out of the sea of ​​rat-head flowers, with sharp ears and fangs, and bit off the man's neck in one bite.

"It's a demon, a monster!"

"Run! Help—"

"Ahhh—"

Amidst the raging fire, screams, and thick smoke, most of the martial arts practitioners and those bound by spiritual bonds panicked. Only a very small number fought back with all their might. Occasionally, they would encounter daring villagers who, wielding torches, fearlessly lashed out at the rat-head flowers.

"Don't panic, everyone! Burn them! Burn them!"

After the fire, mutated monsters began to bloom everywhere. Wu Lizi and Jie Lingqi, who had finally come to their senses, received Wu Kuisheng's support, and some of their servant monsters also joined the battle.

"These monsters are not difficult to deal with, don't be afraid!"

"Who's afraid of who's a coward!"

As if they had found their leader, the crowd rushed towards the arrogant direction of the rat-head flower.

Near Yanshi Ridge, Kou Xiaobai, who had been nearly gnawed to pieces by the rat-head flowers, suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he was hanging in a tree. He struggled to get up and saw the dense rat-head flowers under his feet, which made his scalp tingle instantly.

Not far away, Kou Huai was covered in blood, holding a chipped broadsword. He was killing people one by one, his eyes bloodshot. The demon corpses lying at his feet were piled up like a mountain. Suddenly, Kou Xiaobai's voice appeared.

"Senior Brother!"

Kou Huai instantly regained his senses, slashed down a demon that pounced on him, and trampled it under his foot. He frowned and asked, "Why are you still here?"

"How did you get so badly injured?" Kou Xiaobai threw a fire-chasing stone behind Kou Huai, blasting away a swarm of rampant rat-head flowers. Kou Huai swiftly killed one of the demons with a single slash, then picked up another knife and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Don't worry about me, this thing won't kill me! But you, why don't you hurry up and leave?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the ladybug perched on his shoulder, and the ladybug suddenly said, "Master, watch out on your right!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kou Huai swiftly and accurately skewered the two demons like a candied hawthorn skewer.

"Where are the... where are the 'Xi'? Kou Xiaobai asked urgently while using the fire-dispelling stone to drive away the rat-head flowers."

"There!" Kou Huai forcefully lifted one of the demons and flung it away.

Xichi killed off a group of demons with one slash, but even more demons pounced on him. To make matters worse, there was a rat-headed flower at his feet that bit him when he wasn't paying attention. He could only kill a few with one slash.

"Siberian tusks—"

Kou Xiaobai saw Xichi fighting fiercely from afar and rushed into the white expanse of rat-head flowers without hesitation. A hint of surprise flashed in Xichi's indifferent eyes. The next second, two demons suddenly attacked from the left and right sides at the same time. Xichi suddenly threw a knife behind him. Kou Xiaobai's vision blurred and the demon that rushed towards him fell heavily to the ground, blood splattering all over his face.

"Royal——"

Kou Xiaobai leaped into the air, his palm bursting with brilliant light that enveloped the boar's head. Time seemed to stand still, and the two menacing demons, along with the wildly growing rat-head flower, were frozen in that moment. Then, the boar grabbed the long sword that Kou Xiaobai had thrown back and cleaved the two demons in two with a single stroke.

"Freeze time!"

The array formations converged beneath their feet. Kou Xiaobai, panting heavily and trembling, said, "We finally made it."

"You're just coming here to die, you might as well run for your life," the pisi replied coldly without turning its head.

"If we can't hold this place, what difference does it make whether we die sooner or later? We might as well die together!" Kou Xiaobai's voice trembled, but he still mustered up the courage to shout it out loud.

"Then hold the line." Xichi's demonic power surged, and his injuries healed rapidly under the protection of the formation. However, the next moment, an astonishing demonic power suddenly burst out from the demon horde, smashing mountains and splitting rocks with unstoppable force.

boom!

The powerful force caused the boar's mouth to go numb, and it immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fragments of blood and flesh splattered everywhere. Through the haze, a tall and imposing figure slowly walked towards them, with sharp eyebrows and a murderous aura. His long brown robe fluttered in the wind.

"This is..." Kou Xiaobai's pupils suddenly contracted. Before he could shout, the other party had already appeared in front of him and slashed down with a knife.

Bang! Boom!

"Junior Brother Kou!"

"Kou Xiaobai!"

He steadily blocked the attack with his sword and axe, but the attack also caused his tiger's mouth to split open, and blood flowed continuously.

"Senior Brother Qi Zheng, Senior Brother Xun, be careful! He is Xiu Shen, the leader of the Bow-Clad Clan!"

At the same time, Ren Xiangxiang had just returned to Wenzhangmao with the antidote. Inside Wenzhangmao, the disciples who had first received Wenting's distress call had already gone to provide support.

Wu Fei and Cao Wa were also anxious and helpless. Ren Xiangxiang rushed back in time and, seeing Wu Fei there, threw him a bottle of antidote.

"This is the antidote; whether he survives depends on his fate."

After saying that, he plunged into the house.

Wu Fei was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize what he was holding. He immediately ran away.

"Wow, quite a few have come!" The female voice in his mind was excited, but Wu Fei ignored her.

The Wenzhangmao forest, which originally blocked the way in front of Koujia Town, was now covered with white flowers that spread down the ridge, causing the vegetation to wither and screams to echo wherever it went.

The outer disciples threw out the fire-chasing stones they had prepared beforehand. These fire-chasing stones were specifically designed to counter demons, but they were not very effective against these strange rat-head flowers. Then, someone lit a flame and forcefully fanned it towards the surging rat-head flowers.

Thick smoke billowed, choking people and bringing tears to their eyes. The disciples remained vigilant and dared not approach. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the smoke.

It opened its blood-red maw and bit down on the throat of the nearest disciple. Before the disciple could even scream, blood splattered everywhere, covering the faces of the other disciples.

Upon seeing this, some people screamed and others ran away, but before they had gone far, seven or eight more such monsters emerged from the thick smoke.

"Ahhh—"

"Y-youkai!"

The monsters had ferocious faces and bloodshot eyes. They pounced on all fours, and just as another disciple was about to be devoured, the disciple screamed and was suddenly thrown behind him as the world spun around. A long, black thorn pierced the monster's mouth and came out from the back of its head. The monster struggled howling and was kicked away by the monster.

The person in front of them was dressed in a dark brown outfit, with long, sword-like eyebrows and short, neat hair, making it impossible to tell whether he was male or female. As soon as he appeared, all the ferocious monsters pounced on him.

The disciples behind him finally came to their senses and started lighting fires and throwing fire-chasing stones, plunging the scene into chaos.

There aren't many demon tamers in Wenzhangmao who possess demon servants; most are still in the stage of forming spirit contracts and recognizing demon lords. However, rat-head flowers and demons are sweeping in from all directions.

Even if we guard this entrance, those ubiquitous rat-head flowers will still rush in from the side.

Wu Fei inside finally managed to force the antidote into Kou Feng's throat, muttering something unintelligible. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his wrist, and the spirit talisman appeared.

"Holy crap! Where are you, General?"

The situation outside Wen Zhangmao was one-sided. At first, the young man could handle it, but unexpectedly, there were more and more troublesome monsters. They were impossible to kill and they couldn't kill them all, which was too exhausting for him.

At this moment, he had just killed three or four monsters, whose necks had been twisted off, but they were still able to attack him. The young man took a small step back, and something seemed to be approaching from the thick smoke.

Almost simultaneously, Wu Fei's voice, "What a terrible death!" exploded in his mind. The young man's vision blurred, and a suffocating sense of oppression hit him. He only had time to see a cold glint before his throat suddenly felt cold, and the fear of impending death instantly spread throughout his body.

"Any demon servant with skills like yours?" The newcomer wore a large gray robe, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked terminally ill and on the verge of collapse, but the murderous intent that emanated from him terrified him.

"Who are you?" Blood trickled down the young man's throat, he was extremely nervous, and the voice was a clear female voice.

"Oh?" The newcomer smiled in surprise. "Move aside, I'm not looking for you."

Hu Feng —

In her mind, Wu Fei was roaring. She wanted to shut this good-for-nothing up. She didn't know what she had done in her past life to end up with such an unlucky guy. But it didn't matter. She could become stronger on her own and one day break free from the spiritual contract and leave this hellish place.

She must become stronger.

The thought flashed through her mind in an instant, and the poisoned dagger in her hand was already aimed at the other party. The other party neither dodged nor evaded, and she didn't even see what the other party did.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, a helpless expression under absolute power.

She...is dying?!

"Royal!" A furious shout rang in his ears, "Only one son!"

A formation suddenly appeared beneath her feet, a flash of white light, and she vanished instantly, falling out from the other side of Wen Zhangmao's entrance.

"Hu Feng, do you have a death wish? You can't beat them, yet you still insist on fighting. How stubborn are you? What are you doing...?"

Before Wu Fei could finish speaking, a group of disciples with a snarling, grotesque rat-headed flower came running towards them. Wu Fei was so frightened that he immediately shrank behind Hu Feng, who was still in a daze. Hu Feng snapped back to his senses, disregarded the pursuit, and charged out first.

At the other entrance, without Hu Feng's obstruction, the Rat-Head Flower was almost unobstructed, and the dead and wounded disciples struggled and screamed in agony within it.

Following the demonic aura, the ghost found the courtyard where Ren Xiangxiang lived.

Outside the courtyard, the rat-head flowers were stirring, spreading from the outer wall into the courtyard, and then from the courtyard to the door of the house where they were.

“Miss Ren, we meet again.” Hun Sang was gentle and polite.

The room was silent and unmoved.

He paused, then continued with a smile, "Miss Ren, you can't save him."

Still no one answered.

Husang frowned slightly and waved for Rathead Flower to enter first.

The squeaking rat-headed flower suddenly burst through the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three fire-chasing stones fell to the ground with a thud, causing the rat-head flower to squeal wildly on the ground, and flames swept through the thick smoke.

Husang's eyes narrowed, and he retreated quickly. Ren Xiangxiang swept a claw across his throat, followed by a kick that sent him flying over the courtyard wall.

"Cough cough... Your demonic power... has become stronger?!"
