On the ground, Duan Tian struggled to crawl out of the soil. When he saw Thor's figure disappear in an instant, Duan Tian's expression was extremely grim.
Sure enough, those rats in the Heretic Forbidden Zone had absolutely no credibility whatsoever!
When Luo Feng first proposed contacting the Forbidden Place of Heresy, Duan Tian initially opposed it, but in order to increase the chances of success, Duan Tian eventually compromised.
"Duan Tian, do you have any last words?"
Zhang Rong landed on the ground, his dark eyes on his Shura-like face calmly looking at Duan Tian.
"Heh, Zhang Rong, you still put on that aloof act, only because you've awakened a good taboo. Back then, if you hadn't cleared the obstacles for Xiao Rulai, how could he have gotten that position? But now? Is Xiao Rulai still the same as you remember him?"
Isn't he just like us now? Using any means necessary to achieve his goals?
I truly feel sorry for you, Zhang Rong. You should be sitting in that position now, but you gave up that easily attainable status for a mere dead woman. To outsiders, you may seem devoted, but to me, you're just foolish and cowardly!
Duan Tian struggled to his feet. Surviving Zhang Rong's full-force attack, which had transformed into a demon, was already his limit. Now, Duan Tian's body was filled with a large amount of terrifying black energy that was constantly eroding his life force.
Black spots gradually appeared all over Duan Tian's body, and a chilling aura of death spread from his body. This was the terrifying aspect of Asura Qi. Once you were tainted by it, it was extremely difficult to remove, like maggots clinging to bones. Moreover, Zhang Rong had directly injected Asura Qi into Duan Tian's body earlier.
Even Duan Tian, who was at the Ruoyue realm, could not withstand the rampage of the Asura energy within his body at this moment.
"Ugh!"
As soon as Duan Tian finished speaking, Zhang Rong's originally calm eyes instantly turned ferocious.
Asura's hand reached out and pinched Duan Tian's face. Zhang Rong exerted a little force, and Duan Tian groaned in pain. He could even hear the sound of his skull cracking. Crimson blood slowly flowed from Duan Tian's face and from his seven orifices.
"Ha...ha...Zhang Rong, you really are a coward. Even now, you still lose your composure whenever she's mentioned!"
Knowing he was doomed, Duan Tian showed no intention of begging for mercy. Instead, he intensified his provocations of Zhang Rong's nerves, and the angrier Zhang Rong became, the happier he was.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Zhang Rong exerted force with his palm, and Duan Tian's head exploded instantly under Zhang Rong's grip.
This man, one of the three former deputy commanders of the Great Xia Dynasty, died in this wilderness because of his desire for greater power.
"call!"
After ending Duan Tian's life, Zhang Rong took a deep breath. The blue lines on his face gradually faded, and Zhang Rong's body gradually returned to its original size. On his bronze skin, a dozen more slightly terrifying scars appeared.
In this battle, Zhang Rong fought against two opponents, sacrificing his own life to save Duan Tian, once again displaying his terrifying appearance as the Blue-Faced Asura. Unfortunately, no one witnessed this earth-shattering battle.
During their previous battle, under the deliberate guidance of Duan Tian and Lei Shen, the three of them were now extremely far from that mountain.
Zhang Rong threw Duan Tian's corpse on the ground and turned to run towards the mountains. Although the battle on his side was over, the killing within the mountains was not yet finished, and even Zhang Rong could not perceive the situation there at the moment.
Let's rewind a few minutes.
In the mountains and forests, Cheng Hu, who had gained the advantage by trading injury for life, fell into a slump once again after the appearance of the man from the heretical forbidden place.
Cheng Hu, who was already exhausted, was gradually losing his strength under the man's attacks.
To Cheng Hu's left, an empty short-sleeved shirt swayed with his movements, and not far away, Cheng Hu's left arm lay quietly on the ground.
"Bang!"
With his right hand holding the knife, Cheng Hu blocked another attack from the man in the blue and silver mask. However, due to his rapidly declining condition and the loss of balance after losing an arm, Cheng Hu lost his balance instantly and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the trunk of a large tree.
The violent shock caused Cheng Hu to spit out a large amount of blood from his mouth and right arm. Cheng Hu's face grew paler and paler. By this point in the battle, he had already lost a lot of blood. Waves of weakness kept coming from Cheng Hu's body. If it weren't for the fact that the physique of a forbidden ability user was far superior to that of an ordinary person, Cheng Hu would have already gone into shock due to excessive blood loss.
Lu Yao's voice kept coming to his ears, and the influence of the demonic language was growing stronger. Cheng Hu felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. All he wanted to do was drop the long sword in his hand, stop caring about the battle in front of him, and fall into a deep sleep.
Realizing something was wrong with him, Cheng Hu hardened his expression and slashed his leg with a knife in his right hand. The pain brought him back to his senses.
Come on!
Cheng Hu's face was contorted with rage. He raised his resolute face, which was covered in blood, and roared at Lu Yao and the other man.
If Cheng Hu wanted to escape, Lu Yao and the other two wouldn't have been able to stop him. But Cheng Hu knew he had to hold them off because behind him were the newlyweds in the square.
Even if the Seven Rainbows Squad is there, if these two get through, even the Seven Rainbows Squad won't be able to withstand them. Moreover, Cheng Hu can also sense the powerful auras coming from the mountainside. Therefore, he absolutely cannot let these two get through.
"Oh!"
Faced with Cheng Hu's angry shout, the man wearing the blue and silver patterned mask let out a sneer, pointed his finger, and two more sharp, invisible attacks shot towards Cheng Hu's chest.
With his battered body, Cheng Hu leaped forward, twisting his body as he charged, barely dodging one attack. However, another blow still struck Cheng Hu's right shoulder.
"Ugh!"
Cheng Hu roared, enduring the excruciating pain as he suddenly accelerated, instantly arriving in front of the man with the blue and silver patterns. Under his control, the long sword in his hand and the few black substances transformed into several flying blades, which shot towards the man in front of him.
Damn it!
Upon seeing this, the man with the cyan and silver patterns cursed under his breath. Everyone said that the Heretical Forbidden Bureau was crazy, but in the eyes of the Heretical Forbidden Bureau, these people from the Secret Slaying Bureau were the crazy ones. They clearly possessed superhuman strength and could clearly live the life of immortals in mythology, but these people from the Secret Slaying Bureau insisted on fighting against the mysteries for those ordinary ants, exchanging their own lives for those useless people.
The madness Cheng Hu displayed at this moment made the blue-faced, silver-patterned man feel extremely uncomfortable!
The man with the cyan and silver patterns retreated rapidly, his fingers remaining still as invisible attacks met the flying blades controlled by Cheng Hu, with explosions echoing through the air.
Like a wild beast with nowhere to run, Cheng Hu charged madly toward the man with the blue and silver stripes, wanting to use his last bit of strength to kill one more person.
Finally, Cheng Hu used up his last bit of strength, the ground beneath his feet cracked open, and he leaped into the air, finding an opening in the defense of a man with cyan and silver patterns. He then swung his knife down fiercely with one hand!
"Let's see who dies!"
The blue-and-silver-patterned man's pupils contracted, knowing he couldn't dodge it. He waved his hands frantically, and explosions ripped through the air. Dozens of bloody holes instantly appeared on Cheng Hu's body.
Cheng Hu's body collapsed limply, but in his final moments, he seemed to experience a brief moment of lucidity before death. A sickly flush appeared on his face.
"Xiao Rulai, if you fail this time and hand over my Great Xia to these people, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
With a final shout, Cheng Hu hurled his long sword.
"Pfft!"
The sound of Cheng Hu's body hitting the ground and the sound of the long sword piercing his body rang out simultaneously.
The man in the blue and silver mask looked down in disbelief at the long knife piercing his heart, the light in his eyes gradually fading.
He didn't understand why Cheng Hu could still unleash such power at the last moment!
"Teacher Cheng Hu?!"
Even though they were far apart, Zhang Rong, who was flying through the air, seemed to hear Cheng Hu's voice.
Zhang Rong's heart tightened, and her body trembled involuntarily. Then she hurriedly increased her pace.
...
Just as Cheng Hu and the silver-striped man were exchanging blows, the situation for Chi Chen's side at the mountainside plaza was far from optimistic.
"Lord Thor?"
In the mind of the divine general who had summoned the mystery and was resting under a tree, a voice suddenly rang out, making him turn pale and unable to believe it.
Then, the divine general rose, glancing somewhat resentfully at Chi Chen, who was surrounded by the crowd. His eyes, hidden behind the purple-patterned mask, suddenly turned sinister. He then raised his hands above his head and softly chanted:
"Great god of heresy, I offer my blood as a sacrifice, I offer my flesh as bait, I beseech your power to descend, grant me boundless power!"
After the god finished chanting, he picked up a sharp bone spur from beneath him and plunged it into his own chest.
"Giggle!"
On the plaza, several mysterious beings in the Solid Realm suddenly let out a miserable cry, and then their bodies turned into wisps of blood energy, which quickly gathered at the chest of the divine general.
The god's body rapidly expanded and then exploded, revealing a long, narrow, faceless, pitch-black figure beneath the flesh and blood, accompanied by an evil aura.
"What happened?"
Upon seeing this, Wenxiong frowned deeply. Why would that divine general suddenly sacrifice himself?
What's going on here? When did the people of the Heresy Forbidden Zone become so reckless with their lives?
Upon seeing this, Lan Yue and the others also had a bad feeling.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, all the mysterious creatures on the plaza let out a cry, and black energy appeared on their bodies. Then, they charged towards Lan Yue and the others with even more madness and recklessness.
The same was true of those members of the Heretical Forbidden Zone. At this moment, they seemed to have turned into one after another reckless beast, just to break through the defenses created by Blue Moon and the others.
