Zuan pondered that this must be Erfu and the dead Yayu, but why did Erfu leave the bodies here after killing his brother?
He gently held the saintess's hand, worried that she might be afraid. After all, Erfu's enormous serpentine body, coupled with a human head, looked extremely oppressive and could easily cause one's sanity to drop.
To his surprise, he found that the saintess's small hands were warm and she didn't seem to be afraid.
The snake on the pillar slowly writhed, and a human head descended from the sky, examining the corpse on the stone platform up close, a smile that could not be suppressed on its face.
He muttered incoherently, his pronunciation obscure and mysterious, with an ancient feel. Fortunately, Zu'an had been to this world before, so he could understand about 70-80% of what he said.
“You are noble, you are remarkable. Father likes you, the other gods like you, the shamans and the people like you, everyone likes you.”
"But what's the use? You're still dead now."
Then came a burst of somewhat manic laughter.
After laughing for a while, his face seemed to darken and become unreadable again.
"Don't blame me, you brought this all on yourself."
"You always try to take everything from me. When we were little, you took my parents' love from me, and now that we're grown up, you're taking other people's love from me."
"It's fine if they praise you, but why do they always compare you to me? The better and kinder you are, the worse and more annoying I seem!"
“My foolish brother, do you know that all these praises come with a price tag? It is these praises that lead you to your death.”
...
Zuan frowned as he listened. He had wanted to get up close and personal with the legendary god, but instead of seeing the divinity and compassion, he encountered a twisted monster.
To be honest, I was quite disappointed.
At this moment, a female voice rang out: "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! You have eliminated this major threat."
Zuan then noticed a petite woman standing in the corner. It was mainly because Erfu's enormous body was so visually striking that it was hard to notice her small stature.
With just one glance, Zu An's expression became somewhat strange. The woman was dressed in black, resembling a trench coat or a long skirt.
Her inner garment was white, and the black and white combination accentuated her graceful figure.
If this were posted on the internet in later generations, there would definitely be a lot of netizens saying that with such a figure, it doesn't matter whether you look at her face or not.
But you really can't ignore the woman's face, because she doesn't have a human face at all; to be precise, her entire head is a bird's head!
Zuan pondered that it was no wonder those demons believed themselves to be descendants of gods; just by looking at their appearance and physique, they did seem to resemble them somewhat.
Looking at the bird's head that resembled a swallow, Zu An pondered that this woman must be the legendary Wei Yueyan.
In the future timeline, the ten witches of Lingshan recount the history of the killing of the Yayu, which seems to say that Erfu was instigated by his subordinate Wei to kill the Yayu.
This bird-headed woman seems to be the one in danger.
At this moment, Erfu's cold voice came from inside the hall: "It was my brother who died, what is there to be happy about?"
The woman with the bird-headed head froze, inwardly cursing the other woman for trying to be a virtuous woman while being a prostitute.
Of course, he dared not reveal what he was thinking, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Leaving aside how disgusting the Yayu was to its master in life, and that it deserved its fate, the greatest benefit is that after its death, there will be no rivals to compete with the master for the power of faith."
Zuan's heart stirred upon hearing this: the power of faith?
Judging from their conversation, it seems that the power of faith is very important to the gods.
As a result, the slight increase in heart rate was noticed by Erfu inside, who abruptly raised his massive head and looked in their direction:
"who?"
A warning bell rang in Zuan's mind. Just as he was about to leave with the Holy Maiden, a powerful force suddenly struck him.
He was somewhat bewildered because he hadn't seen any trace of the other party making a move from beginning to end. It was as if the attack had instantly coalesced around him, a method of attack that was far beyond his comprehension.
Even though he was on guard the whole time, he didn't have time to defend himself before the terrifying force hit him.
In his haste, he could only shield the saintess behind him, filling his entire body with vital energy in preparation to withstand the attack.
But he wasn't sure if he could withstand a blow from a god.
Just then, a glimmer of light appeared in front of him, and a huge phantom of a tortoise shell blocked his way.
It was the tortoise shell that Wu Peng had given him before!
Click!
Almost instantly, the tortoise shell shattered into powder.
However, most of that terrifying attack had dissipated.
With this buffer time, Zaun finally reacted and immediately grabbed the Holy Maiden, using teleportation to escape.
In just one exchange, he knew that the other party's strength far surpassed his own. Not to mention him, even the Lord of Slaughter and the Lord of Demons at their peak would be no match for him here.
Although they did not sense any divine radiance from the other party, they still felt the terrifying power of the gods.
"A familiar yet repulsive aura of witchcraft." Erfu's expression turned cold. "Go, capture the intruder."
As a god, he obviously disdained to take action himself.
"Yes!" The bird-headed woman at the bottom bowed, then pushed off with her toes and flew into the air, instantly transforming into a small swallow.
Despite its small size, it is as fast as lightning.
Zaun unleashed his Gale several times in a row. Although Moxi's talent could help reduce the cooldown of the teleportation skill, it wasn't unlimited.
Just as his skill was on cooldown, Zaun was surprised to find a swallow chasing after him.
