"Mu Hanyan, I know that you are arrogant because of your success at a young age, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. Look at these elite strong men in my Zhao family. Even if I don't take action, they are enough to tear you into pieces. You want to kill me, what gives you the right to kill me?" Zhao Xinghong pointed at Mu Hanyan, and tears were almost coming out of his eyes.
In his life of over a hundred years, this was the first time he had seen someone so arrogant and almost stupid.
"Sir, why waste time talking to her? Since she is so ungrateful, just kill her and be done with it." Fei Changle and others shouted at the top of their lungs.
This time, in their quest to join Zhao Xinghong, they not only offended their own head priest, but also Mu Hanyan. If Mu Hanyan truly submitted to the Zhao family, given her qualifications, she would sooner or later be given important positions, giving her many opportunities to retaliate against them. The Zhao family certainly wouldn't let their small clans dissuade Mu Hanyan. Therefore, killing Mu Hanyan would be in their best interest.
Anyway, in their opinion, Mu Hanyan is already a fish on the chopping board, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Is it almost done?" Mu Hanyan ignored them and suddenly turned to ask Taotie.
"Okay." Taotie grinned, the smile was a bit weird and a bit cruel, like a big cat ready to torture a mouse to death.
"Kill!" Mu Hanyan suddenly raised his sword and let out a long, clear roar.
She would not talk so much nonsense to Zhao Xinghong for no reason. She was just waiting for the opportunity.
Hearing the word "kill" from her mouth, Long Wudang drew his sword reflexively. After being ravaged by Taotie for so many days, his reaction was much faster than before.
However, before he could strike with his sword, he froze in shock.
Following Mu Hanyan's long roar, a burst of beast roars shook the sky and clouds. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of ferocious-looking beasts rushed down from the cliffs on both sides.
The giant vine net that Zhao Xinghong had formed with his hymn to life could block both ends of the canyon, but it could not block the thousand-foot cliff. The cliff that looked like it was cut by a knife or an axe could trap human priests, but it could not trap the strange beasts that could fly over the cliffs as if they were walking on flat ground.
Fei Changle and the others who had been shouting loudly just now were completely stunned, their legs going weak with fear.
"Strange beasts, how could there be so many strange beasts appear!" Not to mention them, even the elites of the Zhao family were stunned.
"Form a formation, stop them, form a formation!" A Zhao family elite was the first to react and shouted loudly.
But before he could even finish his roar, several Demon Eye Wind Wolves had already rushed before him, forcing him to slash them with a single blow. This Zhao family elite was certainly quite powerful, a seventh-rank Divine Heart Priest, a formidable figure outside of the Lesser God Heaven. But how could he, alone, withstand the onslaught of several Demon Eye Wind Wolves? He'd barely chopped one down with his sword when the others tackled him to the ground.
"Ah...Gah." The scream was only half heard when a column of blood shot up into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, strange beasts swooped down and rushed into the crowd.
Blood splattered, screams rang out, and soon, the priests from the lower temples collapsed in large numbers. They had come to the Blackwood Prison to die in the first place, and this could be considered the fulfillment of their mission.
If it weren't for the presence of that group of Zhao family elites, these hundreds of priests from the lower temples would probably be wiped out in just one encounter.
The elites are worthy of being elites. Although they were stunned by the sudden appearance of the beasts at first, and some of them died from the sharp claws and fangs of the beasts, the others soon came to their senses and formed a sword formation to block the attack of the beasts.
However, they did not hold on for long, as horror and even despair appeared on their faces - a strange beast with blue light flowing all over its body and golden wings on its back appeared on the top of the cliff.
It roared towards the sky, and a huge ball of thunder suddenly fell towards the priests below. Several Zhao elites with weaker strength were blasted to death on the spot, vomiting blood, and their bodies turned into charcoal.
The Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast is actually the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast that is second only to the four ferocious beasts in legend!
Following its loud roar, another group of strange beasts swooped down from the cliff in dense groups, but this time there were not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands.
Facing such a massive herd, not to mention the dozens of Zhao clan elites, even Zhao Xinghong's guards, each of whom had reached the tenth-rank Divine Heart Priest's strength, couldn't withstand it. In a moment, one Zhao clan elite after another fell, screaming in agony, and the guards were also trapped.
How could the priests from the lower temple dare to fight against such a huge beast? They ran away in all directions. However, the two ends of the canyon were already tightly blocked by the huge net woven by vines. Where could they escape to? They were soon caught up by the beasts.
The canyon was filled with wailing and chaos.
"What, what is going on!" Zhao Xinghong was completely stunned by the scene before him.
These elite children are the cornerstone of the Zhao family. Seeing them die one after another at the hands of strange beasts, his heart is broken as if by a knife.
"Lord Zhao, it seems that you have killed quite a few strange beasts this time, causing them to retaliate so violently. It is true that those who do evil will eventually perish, and this can be considered retribution." Mu Hanyan said with a sneer.
The reason she dared to go deep into the tiger's den despite knowing Zhao Xinghong was setting an ambush ahead was that she was absolutely confident. Besides her own strength, these exotic beasts were her greatest reliance.
In the past, with the departure of the Phoenix Clan, the Taotie was trapped in the illusion of life and death. The Blackwood Prison and other beasts were leaderless. Although their collective strength was immense, they were a disorganized group. This is why they fell prey to the temple priests, who slew them one by one. Now, the Taotie and the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, two ferocious beasts, have escaped and returned. With the Taotie and the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast around, how could the Blackwood Prison and other beasts not obey their orders? Let alone the Zhao family, even if several more families came, Mu Hanyan would still be confident that they would be completely wiped out.
Originally, Mu Hanyan was worried that the matter would get too big and be difficult to resolve, but Zhao Xinghong had already made proper arrangements. In order to conceal her tracks, he even laid a giant vine net with the hymn of life. Now, Miss Mu had no worries at all.
However, Mu Hanyan did not expect that the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast, which received the order from Taotie, would make such a big noise. Seeing the densely packed herd of thousands of beasts, she felt a little scalp-tingling.
Although she had personally witnessed the attacks of alien beasts on the Holy Court Continent, and had personally fought desperately against them to defend Beining Pass, she had been defending the pass from a dangerous position. Although the alien beasts were numerous, few could actually reach the enemy, with most being killed by catapults and crossbows. But now, thousands of alien beasts swooped down from above, unhindered, like a tiger pouncing on a flock of sheep.
