The priests of the Temple of Light also helped Zheng Anze up and gathered around Mu Hanyan.
They had previously fought against the beasts and were trapped in dire straits because of Yuan Xiangzhi's desertion. They were able to save their lives thanks to Mu Hanyan's rescue. Today, Mu Hanyan came to their aid at the critical moment. How could they watch Mu Hanyan trapped in the siege and just stand by and watch?
Although she felt their actions were a bit unnecessary, Mu Hanyan nodded. After all, the priests of the Temple of Life knew who was responsible for the incident, making them far superior to those ungrateful individuals.
Everyone bowed to Mu Hanyan, then drew their swords and glared at the priests of the Temple of Death.
The two sides were once again on the verge of a war.
"Stop!" At this moment, Liu Qianyuan stood up staggeringly.
The sacrificial robe on his body was indeed powerful. Gao Weihu attacked continuously and was exhausted, but he still failed to break his defense. It was just some damage on the surface. The reason why Liu Qianyuan was still able to stand was also because of this.
"Who are you?" Liu Qianyuan looked at Mu Hanyan with a gloomy face and asked.
"The head priests of the Flower Rain Temple, Mu Hanyan, Gao Weihu, Jiang Qiling... Tao Tie!" Mu Hanyan said proudly. She paused briefly when mentioning Taotie, then gave him a name.
Tao Tie...Taotie...Bhuihuo Dazun was not very satisfied with this name. It was too lazy. As one of the four legendary ferocious beasts, Taotie was a name that shook the world. But when he was lazy and used a homonym to turn it into a human name, it sounded so tacky and not domineering at all.
He originally wanted to protest, but seeing the frosty expression on Mu Hanyan's face, he held back.
"So you are from the Huayu Temple. You are quite brave to interfere in the affairs of my Death Temple." Liu Qianyuan said with a sneer.
At first, he saw Gao Weihu attacking recklessly, and then Mu Hanyan faced hundreds of priests from the Temple of Death without fear. This courage and spirit was not possessed by ordinary people. He was a little worried about the other party's background, but when he heard that it was from the Huayu Temple, he felt relieved.
Although the Flower Rain Temple once held a preeminent position, even exempt from the constraints of the five superior temples, it had been abandoned over twenty years ago for angering the Lord Divine Master, and had fallen into decline ever since. Even though Gao Weihu possessed incredible combat prowess, and Mu Hanyan was likely no weakling, her background alone was no match for him. He had no such concerns.
"Hand over this man to me and I will let your Huayu Temple go. Otherwise, I will make sure your Huayu Temple never has peace and will disappear from the Continent of Gods one day." Then, Liu Qianyuan said fiercely.
"Just you?" Mu Hanyan almost laughed out loud.
She really couldn't understand how this guy had the courage to say such big words after being beaten like a dog by Gao Weihu just now. Was his brain damaged?
"That's right, just me!" Liu Qianyuan smiled coldly, and suddenly an obscure chanting sound came out of his mouth.
There was a flash of phantom light, and with the sound of a low beast roar, a huge and ferocious beast appeared beside him.
Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast!
This strange beast was covered in red scales, but had a blue halo that rippled like water, as if lightning was flowing. Its long tail with a hook beat the ground intermittently, making a crisp sound like thunder. It also had golden wings growing on its ribs. It was the legendary Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast that had long disappeared along with the four ferocious beasts and other mythical beasts.
Although it is not as famous as the dragon, unicorn and other mythical beasts, nor as powerful as the four ferocious beasts, this red thunder golden-winged beast is second only to the four ferocious beasts. It has the strength comparable to the ninth-rank divine heart priest when it is born. After it grows up, it can easily reach the realm of divine soul priest, which is equivalent to the realm of sword saint.
Given its bloodline qualifications, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a demigod beast.
As the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast appeared, Liu Qianyuan's originally pale face quickly regained its color, and his aura continued to increase.
Obviously, he had signed a life contract with the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast, and was relying on its enormous vitality to quickly heal himself and restore his strength.
"Mu Hanyan, you have no choice. Hand over Gao Weihu and I will let you go. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless." Liu Qianyuan roared arrogantly.
"Hand over Gao Weihu, hand over Gao Weihu..." The trusted priests also raised their arms and shouted, looking at Mu Hanyan and others with eyes full of contempt, as if they were looking at a few lambs to be slaughtered.
They didn't notice that Mu Hanyan and the others looked at each other with extremely strange expressions.
"If I remember correctly, this is the legendary Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast that has long disappeared from the Holy Continent, right?" Jiang Qiling said.
"That should be correct." Mu Hanyan nodded and said.
Seeing this powerful beast that was said to be able to easily cross the realm of Sword Saint, the two of them were not nervous at all. Instead, they felt like laughing.
Both of them looked towards Taotie. Along the way, they had heard him brag about his past glory. According to him, in the past, all the beasts of the Sacred Continent revered the Aolai Divine Beast, and beneath the Aolai Divine Beast lay the other Divine Beasts, including the four fierce beasts. They also ruled over the billions of beasts in the world on behalf of the Aolai Divine Beast.
Beneath them, nearly a hundred commanders ruled the four directions. The Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast was one of the eight commanders under Taotie, a renowned ferocious beast. It had signed a life-long pact with him, guaranteeing its loyalty for generations.
However, the beastmen later lost the battle for supremacy over the world with humans, and many powerful beastmen disappeared in the long river of history, including the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast.
I remember that when the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast was mentioned, Taotie was full of regret. But he never thought that the descendants of the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast still existed in this world.
No wonder even Zheng Anze was seriously injured. It must be its credit. The beast roar they heard earlier must have come from it.
If Liu Qianyuan's sacrificial pet was another exotic beast, even if its strength was inferior to the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, Mu Hanyan and others would still be somewhat wary. But since it was the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast that had a life-bound bond with Taotie, how could they be worried at all? They were lucky enough not to laugh out loud.
"Mu Hanyan, see, this is my sacrificial pet, the legendary Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast. Hand over Gao Weihu to me honestly, and I will let you go. Otherwise, you will come in upright and leave sideways today!" Just when Mu Hanyan and others were trying hard to suppress their laughter, Liu Qianyuan shouted arrogantly.
His strength was originally much stronger than Gao Weihu's, but he was caught off guard by him before, so he was restricted by him in every way. Now that he summoned the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, his confidence increased greatly. He didn't take Mu Hanyan and others seriously at all, and didn't notice the strange expressions on their faces at all.
