185 Two-Knife Cliff Eight
The fog dissipated. The dark figure rapidly shrank and flew swiftly towards the place where blood-red energy surged and a multitude of delicacies gathered.
Moreover, if one looked closely from high above, the corpses in other areas where battles had taken place had all vanished.
Occasionally, they would quietly slip away from the group and hide in the bushes. I wonder if they were hauling away grains or secretly hiding something?
I was just about to catch up with the group when I suddenly realized that it was eerily quiet all around. The moonlight seemed to block everything in. Everything was shrouded in a gray haze.
A cold draft swept over my neck. I was suddenly startled and broke out in a cold sweat. I was just about to turn around to look when...
The moment he turned around, a gigantic mouth terrified him, and then swallowed him whole.
After swallowing the person, it instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and sped forward rapidly.
Elsewhere, the dead had all their blood drained, and the living were swallowed whole without even chewing, without uttering a sound.
Hundreds of wisps of black smoke rose from various places, rapidly heading in the same direction.
The black smoke gathered and accumulated, growing increasingly terrifying. The entire mountainside seemed to wither instantly.
An ant was searching for food at night. Suddenly, it lay flat on the ground, stiff and motionless. The flowers and grass, which were sleeping peacefully, suddenly felt their life slipping away quickly and withered in an instant.
The towering trees, some several meters tall, some tens or hundreds of meters tall, slowly, slowly withered away, their leaves falling in the wind as if it were autumn.
The evening breeze suddenly seemed to pick up, and large swaths of leaves danced wildly in the mountains and fields. It evoked a sense of desolation, as if the mountains themselves were weeping.
The sudden change caused everyone to unconsciously look around.
The prefect's subordinates, well-trained and tactful, sprang into action instantly, searching everywhere to see what had happened.
The other two teams were noticeably more disorganized. Their leaders quickly regrouped and began assessing the situation.
Seeing the changes around him, Prefect Gao's expression remained largely unchanged, as if he already knew what had happened. A sudden anxiety welled up within him.
His tone softened, "Release my son. I will absolutely not hold you responsible." He then prepared to step forward and snatch the child.
Gao Mingjin, holding his hand, remained silent. He looked anxiously at his father, who had always been the one manipulating others. Never before had he shown such a strong will to live.
Thinking back to how I used to maim and kill dogs like that, I never imagined that today, the roles would be reversed. My heart is filled with even greater resentment towards these wretched dogs. 'After today, I'll carve you into human stumps.'
Although he wished he could be torn to pieces, skinned alive, and have his bones scraped off, he forced a smile on his face, concealing his deepest thoughts, despite the pain.
Prefect Gao was anxious to rescue his son as soon as possible, take him back, and imprison him somewhere, promising not to release him until the mission was completed.
The other six, intimidated by the power and status of Prefect Gao, also remained silent. They instantly split into several factions.
The One Qi Alliance, the Longevity Sect, and the Crimson Flame Demon Sect exchanged glances. Then, they silently gathered their strength, waiting for Magistrate Gao to rescue his son before unleashing a thunderous attack.
Clearly, such a person shouldn't be allowed to benefit Prefect Gao so easily.
Just as the group was lost in thought, an unbelievable scene suddenly unfolded, shocking everyone.
With a loud thud, He Chen was carrying a headless corpse. The head, like a ripe watermelon, had been smashed open with a hammer. Then it exploded.
The spray filled the sky, and they even said it was three steps away. It's true what they say, when a common man gets angry, he bleeds five steps away.
"You dare! You're courting death!" The shout shook heaven and earth. Eternal agony gripped him, as if he were in unbearable pain. He saw that he was now childless.
At this moment, wealth and glory, family righteousness, demons and monsters, none of it mattered to him anymore. He had become a member of a broken clan, with his promising ideals replaced by an unbearable reality.
Angry, angry, angry. The Prefect was utterly furious. At this moment, what plans? What thoughts? He didn't care about any of it anymore.
A thunderous, furious voice boomed, "You deserve to die!" Then, man and sword became one, transforming into a streak of light. They shot forth.
In that instant, the subordinates of Prefect Gao, indeed, were a well-trained force. The spearmen led the way, and in perfect unison, hundreds of men charged forward in a flash. Together with Prefect Gao, they were determined to kill the man before them.
The other six people immediately separated, exchanging glances with faint smiles in their eyes. Not one of them stepped forward to help. They chose to sit back and watch the fight, taking the opportunity to observe the others' strengths and weaknesses.
On the Crimson Flame Demonic Sect's side, a man and a woman stood three feet apart, seemingly not working together. A woman's voice softly escaped her lips, melodious and alluring.
"Let's wait a moment. Something's changed here; Magistrate Gao is probably hiding something from us." Another man in black, his eyes cunning, stared at the woman's curvaceous figure.
He didn't know what to think, but then he nodded.
On the Changsheng Sect's side, the two men were dressed in black, were of similar build, and had deathly pale faces, as if they had been staying up all night for a long time.
One of them said, "Senior brother, the situation has changed. It's all the fault of those damned righteous sects. They occupy famous mountains and rivers, and beautiful forests, while we can only collect medicinal herbs in this border region."
If it weren't for this kid monopolizing the medicinal herbs, causing a recent surge in prices here, other places would have followed suit and raised their prices as well.
Let's make an example of this kid. There's no way to stop this price surge.
The other person was the senior apprentice! He nodded in agreement, glancing warily at his junior brother. He remained silent, but his hand, hidden in his sleeve, was now straining with all its might.
He thought to himself, 'Junior brother, you really are the one who pleases Master the most. But why did you insist on dragging me along this time?'
You should know that I have no interest in worldly matters.
The group then remained silent, watching the changes on the battlefield.
He Chen grabbed Gao Mingjin's neck with one hand and smashed his head to pieces with the other, blood spurting out and clouds of blood mist rising before his eyes.
Since they're enemies, why not kill them? Why keep them alive overnight? An endless supply of enemy heads. An inexhaustible supply of enemy blood.
Seeing the high-ranking official rushing towards him, the gentleman's knife in his hand gleamed coldly.
The swordsmanship was so powerful that it could cut a thousand times in a single stroke. The vast and mighty sword energy almost blocked out the sky, and countless sword lights descended from the sky, slashing down in the direction of the enemy.
The kill points flashed by quickly. There was no time to pay attention at the moment.
Hundreds of heads fell to the ground simultaneously. The scene was shocking, brutal, and ruthless, like something out of a demon's rage. The six people watching nearly fell from the sky.
