The beast's shadow appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly, in no more than two or three breaths.
By the time Atkins and the others reacted, the sword energy had already reached everyone, making it impossible to avoid or defend against it.
Several strong men who were already seriously injured hurriedly defended themselves, but when the sword energy reached them, it instantly turned into countless sword energies and pierced into their bodies.
"No!" They felt the violent and ferocious aura destroying their bodies. Their severely injured internal organs had no defense at all and were shattered in an instant.
The souls that tried to escape were covered by the sword energy and had nowhere to hide.
…
Outside the forbidden area, several powerful figures that broke through the void looked towards the direction of the forbidden area as if they had sensed something, almost at the moment when the beast shadow appeared.
"How can this aura be so strong?" A strong man's surprised voice sounded.
Elsewhere, "The Demon God has appeared? No, it can't be the Demon God. The Demon God has been dead for countless years. Even if he has reincarnated, he can't be so powerful. That's right, it's a projection. It must be related to the projection of the Demon God."
"Even the projection of the demon god has appeared. It seems that something big has happened in the forbidden area. Could someone arrive faster than me?" The third figure in the void said as he flew over at an extremely fast speed.
Master Zixiao rushed to the demon battlefield as quickly as possible, and as soon as he entered the battlefield, he detected the breath of the demon god.
Since they are not from the same era, it is impossible for them to have had any intersection with the Demon God. However, the aura that is so powerful that it can be felt from a very far distance happened to be at the time when the forbidden land of the Heaven-Devouring Beast was opened. There is probably no one else except the Demon God.
"I will guard Black Stone City." The second elder's voice reached his ears, and he obviously also sensed the breath of the demon god.
"There is a hidden aura in the back, you'd better be careful, these demons have bad intentions and may be tricky." The two communicated through the air.
"What I'm most worried about is that someone will die next." The second elder sighed.
"Life and death are determined by fate." Master Zixiao said this calmly, took a step forward, and in an instant he was a thousand miles away.
…
"Hahaha!"
In Tongshizhou, a deafening long roar appeared above the forbidden area and lingered nearby. The human cultivators, demons, and monsters who were unwilling to give up on the forbidden area all retreated.
"Mahayana stage, they even attracted Mahayana stage here, we have no hope."
Some people looked unwillingly in the direction where the sound came from, feeling unwilling to accept the powerful aura.
"Was it attracted by the aura that suddenly appeared and disappeared just now?"
"No, even if they were attracted by that aura, they couldn't have arrived so quickly. I think these Mahayana masters must have been nearby or on their way here."
"Tell me the truth, what on earth was that aura that suddenly appeared?"
"Mysterious and powerful, I feel like I can't even think of resisting him. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably a demon god."
"The demon god has been dead for tens of thousands of years, how could he still be alive!"
While everyone was talking, the powerful Mahayana master arrived.
"Ning Jinyuan, he is the first person to arrive here!" Some monks immediately recognized his identity.
"How could it be him?" Qi Yu and others also recognized the identity of this powerful Mahayana master and frowned.
"Ning Hongtian's father, ever since the incident with the strange saliva tree, the relationship between Zixiao Sect and Ning Songcheng has not been very good. If Ning Jinyuan knew we were here, he would not kill us, right?" Master Qian Feng said with some concern.
“He doesn’t dare. There are so many people here. How can he possibly get rid of all of us? Otherwise, he won’t be able to stop people from talking nonsense, and then he’ll just have to wait to be exterminated by the Zixiao Sect.” Qinglan said calmly.
"But why did he arrive so quickly? It's quite strange this time. It was the independent cultivator who got the news first, while people from other sects didn't see much of it." Even Qi Yu, who was usually careless, found something wrong.
"It's quite strange. Did someone set a trap here to lure these Mahayana cultivators here so that they can be captured in one fell swoop?" Master Qian Feng said thoughtfully, and found that everyone was looking at him. "Why, am I wrong?"
"No, I suddenly feel that you might be right. Most of these are independent cultivators. It is indeed easier to deal with them than with the big sects." Qinglan said, touching his chin.
Master Qian Feng thought for a moment and said, "I was just saying it casually."
"We know."
Qi Yu looked at the space crack with concern, "However, Ning Jinyuan has an open feud with our Zixiao Sect. What if he knows that the two uncles are in there and wants to kill them?"
"Now we can't even enter the Great Perfection of the Fusion Stage. The strong wind on the space crack is getting stronger and stronger. It's hard to say. There are too many variables."
"I don't know what Ning Jinyuan will do. If he really breaks in, the people inside will be killed instantly."
Several people sighed. It was really uncomfortable to have no strength. They thought that the fusion period would be useful.
"It would have been great if we had discovered the situation here earlier."
Master Qian Feng looked around and said, "Actually, I have a question. Why didn't the two uncles inform us earlier? Why did they have to wait until we got to the demon battlefield to tell us?"
Qing Lan reacted and asked in surprise: "Could it be that they did it on purpose?"
"Nine out of ten, there are now more and more people paying attention to the Heaven Devouring Beast Forbidden Land. Once those treasures are revealed, what kind of consequences will there be? The two uncles have probably already thought of it."
Several people fell silent immediately.
After Ning Jinyuan arrived here, he glanced around with a cold look. He just wanted to intimidate the people nearby and did not notice Qi Yu and others behind him.
Otherwise, it would be possible to give them a big warning. Since most of the agarwood trees were destroyed, the status of Ningsong City has also declined a bit.
Although there is no obvious evidence that it was done by people from Zixiao Sect and other forces were involved, Ning Jinyuan has already determined that Zixiao Sect is inextricably linked to it.
During this period of time, he was extremely hateful towards the Zixiao Sect.
Later, due to a series of events caused by the invasion of demons, their genius was unable to participate in the Wanxian Dao, and this grudge was directly held against the Zixiao Sect.
Ning Jinyuan flew to the space crack and snorted contemptuously, "You still want to stop me? Get out of my way."
The pressure from the Mahayana stage swept out, and even those who were close to it, including those in the Fusion stage, had blood coming out of all their orifices.
Others didn't dare to get closer and retreated a thousand meters away.
The Mahayana cultivator was indeed extremely domineering, or rather, Ning Jinyuan was too domineering.
Everyone has resentment in their hearts, but dares not speak out.
Ning Jinyuan was very satisfied to see that these small fry had scared themselves away. He stopped talking nonsense and directly tore open the space crack and entered the forbidden area of the Sky-Devouring Beast.
Two powerful auras suddenly rose up from behind him and attacked him at the same time.
"Looking for death!" Ning Jinyuan was angry that he dared to attack him.
"It's a demon." Several peak masters of Zixiao Sect recognized it immediately. There is still a noticeable difference between the power of a demon and that of a cultivator.
"Master Qian Feng really guessed it right. The demons have been ambushing these Mahayana monks here for a long time."
The ones who attacked Ning Jinyuan were powerful demons at the great monarch level. It was unknown how long they had been lying in ambush here, or if they had just arrived, Ning Jinyuan started fighting with them in an instant.
"Haha, it's so lively, how about adding me in?" After a while, another Mahayana aura came over. The voice came before the person was seen.
"Captain Ding Shi." The faces of everyone in Zixiao Sect changed again.
This Captain Ding Shi is not a good guy. They don’t know what happened in front of the Zixiao Sect’s mountain gate a few days ago. They are just discussing the matter at hand.
After Captain Ding Shi arrived, he did not help Ning Jinyuan to deal with the two great monarch-level demons. After seeing the space crack in the forbidden land of the Sky-Devouring Beast, he rushed over directly.
Ning Jinyuan and the two great monarch-level demons stopped without saying a word and attacked Ding Shiwei at the same time.
Captain Ding Shiwei had to retreat to defend.
Just when the space crack was almost torn open by Captain Ding Shiwei, the forbidden area was in a mess.
The beast shadow had disappeared long ago, and the three people in the important area almost crawled towards the place of inheritance.
The Demon God appeared. The elders had always believed that the Demon God was not really dead. However, they did not wait for the Demon God to appear, but they did.
Such a powerful and invincible figure is exactly the image they long for.
Zhongli Tingzhou knelt on one knee on the ground. That blow drained all his spiritual power.
After the Yin-Yang beads in his body trembled slightly, a gentle energy surged out to nourish his meridians, and his dried-up spiritual power returned.
With a loud crash, two figures stood up from the overturned rubble, and one of them walked out of the ruins.
Atkins' face was grim, and most of his blue face was destroyed, covered in blood and flesh.
He did not die. At the critical moment, he used his backup plan and finally saved his life. He saw the exhausted Zhongli Tingzhou, and Gao Han who had not fully recovered was next to him.
A long knife appeared in his hand, and Atkins walked towards Zhongli Tingzhou.
With a slash of the sword, a destructive force blasted towards Zhongli Tingzhou head-on.
With a loud bang, Atkins didn't have the chance to see his sword light hit Zhongli Tingzhou before he was covered by the Nihuang Bell.
Zhongli Tingzhou coughed lightly, "Are you stupid? Even if my spiritual power is exhausted, I still have Gao Han, but he doesn't have it, and the Nihuang Zhong doesn't have it either."
In the Anti-Emperor Bell, Atkins was attacking the bell wall frantically.
At this moment, a sharp murderous aura suddenly came and appeared in front of Zhongli Tingzhou in the blink of an eye.
"Go to hell!" The distorted face of the Green Flame Monster enlarged in front of Zhongli Tingzhou.
Zhongli Tingzhou raised the corner of his mouth and said something unknown. His spiritual power should have been exhausted, but suddenly a powerful spiritual power burst out from his body.
Green Flame Mang's expression changed instantly, "How could you still have such a strong spiritual power!"
What shocked him even more was that Gao Han at the side also rushed over without hesitation, and the knife in his hand fell down even more violently.
Every sword and every knife, with unparalleled brute force, tore the surrounding space to the point of almost causing it to collapse, hitting the Green Flame Monster with a look of unwillingness on its face, tearing its body in half and pulverizing it into pieces by the violent sword and knife energy.
