His gaze once again fell upon Luo Qingchen, who had climbed up from the rubble with a chilling intent to kill.“One escaped, but it’s no big deal.”
“As long as I capture you, the mastermind, they’ll sooner or later be caught like fish in a barrel!”
“Luo Qingchen, today I’m determined to make you live in agony and unable to die!”
Step by step, he walked toward Luo Qingchen, the murderous aura around him almost tangible, threatening to freeze the surrounding air.
Luo Qingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood upright.
Though severely injured, the fighting spirit in his eyes showed no sign of diminishing.
He knew that what lay ahead would be a true battle of life and death, with no room for luck.
At that moment.
From deeper within the Heavenly Desperate Cliff, the golden pillar of light soaring upward suddenly underwent another transformation.
At the top of the pillar, a massive vortex began to form, emanating an overwhelming Star Force!
Within that vortex seemed to lie a connection to another unknown space-time, emitting a terrifying pull that made hearts grow cold.
The Spiritual Energy throughout the Heavenly Desperate Cliff started crazily pouring into that vortex.
Even Fang Zhenxiong’s Formation, under this horrifying attraction, began to shake violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
“What… what is this?”
Fang Zhenxiong’s face showed astonishment for the first time.
The sight before him was completely beyond his comprehension.
Luo Qingchen’s heart also jumped suddenly.
The aura of that vortex was subtly familiar to him.
Could it be… the Star Gate is about to open again?!
The life-and-death struggle between him and Fang Zhenxiong seemed to gain new, unpredictable variables due to this sudden upheaval.
Fang Zhenxiong’s gaze was unstable as he stared at the golden vortex suspended in the sky, then glanced at the nearby battered yet resolute-eyed Luo Qingchen.
The urgency in his killing intent did not diminish; rather, it intensified, driven by this sudden change.
He had a premonition that if Luo Qingchen were not slain today, he would become a significant threat in the future.
“Luo Qingchen, even if the sky falls, you will surely die today!”
Roaring furiously, Fang Zhenxiong ignored the eerie vortex, unleashing the full grandeur of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, transforming into a bloody phantom, once more charging at Luo Qingchen.
In his hand was a long knife of low-grade Spiritual Artifact quality, its blade wrapped in bloodlight, clearly a deadly weapon of great slaughter.
Before the blade arrived, its fierce aura already tore through the air with a piercing shriek.
Luo Qingchen took a deep breath, the remaining Chaos Star Force within his body operating at an unprecedented pace.
He knew that if he made a mistake with this strike, the consequence would be death, with his soul scattered.
The Black Dragon Sword’s scabbard was horizontal against his chest, dark light and starlight weaving together to form a solid defense.
“Clang!”
The deafening sound of metal clashing echoed throughout.
Luo Qingchen felt an overwhelming force from the scabbard, his tiger’s mouth splitting instantly, blood dyeing the scabbard red.
His body was uncontrollably sent flying backward once again, crashing into a broken cliff wall with violent tremors, loose stones raining down.
His throat tasted sweet, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, his face pale like paper.
Were it not for the unique tenacity of the Chaos Star Force and the extraordinary material of the Black Dragon Sword’s scabbard, this strike might have broken his scabbard and split his body in two.
Fang Zhenxiong’s face twisted into a sneer, preparing to pursue and finish off Luo Qingchen.
At this very moment, from deeper within the Heavenly Desperate Cliff, low and suppressed beast roars erupted from regions already restless due to the earlier Star Gate anomaly.
Initially, the roars seemed distant and sporadic.
But soon, they spread like wildfire, becoming increasingly dense and violent.
The roars were filled with a bloodthirsty craving and primal madness.
Heavenly Desperate Cliff, Qingyun Sect’s forbidden ground, has been renowned not only for its complex terrain and restrictions since ancient times.
But also because it harbored countless powerful and fierce demonic beasts.
These demonic beasts, long influenced by the special environment of the Heavenly Desperate Cliff, had grown exceptionally ferocious, with some mutated, possessing strength far beyond those of the same rank.
On usual days, these demonic beasts mostly hibernated within their territories, rarely venturing out.
Yet now, the massive energy fluctuations from the golden vortex, along with the intense bloodlust emanating from the fierce battle between Luo Qingchen, Fang Zhenxiong, and the rest, ignited the fury of these beasts like sparks falling into boiling oil.
“Howl!”
A chilling and shrill wolf howl pierced the sky.
Soon after, dozens of massive black Demon Wolves, their fur as hard as steel needles and eyes glowing green, surged out like a tide from a hidden mountain stream.
Their targets were the nearest Law Enforcement Hall disciples.
“Not good! Demon Wolves!”
A disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall exclaimed, his face turning pale in an instant.
These Demon Wolves, each comparable to a Cultivator at the Refining Stage of Foundation Establishment, intensely fearless and elusive.
Before they could mount an effective defense.
On the other side of the forest, the ground suddenly burst upward, revealing several massive red centipedes, as thick as barrels.
They burst forth covered in hardened shells, spewing foul poisonous mists from their mouths, their long antennae whipping around like steel whips, sending two unprepared disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall flying, the sound of bones shattering clearly audible.
“Red Shell Poison Centipedes!”
“Damn it! Why are these demonic beasts suddenly rioting?”
Fang Zhenxiong’s expression turned extremely grim.
Though he was determined to kill Luo Qingchen, he knew well that falling into a large-scale siege of demonic beasts would spell immense trouble even for him.
The demonic beasts of Heavenly Desperate Cliff were no ordinary Spiritual Beasts from outside.
And yet, this was only the beginning.
From all directions came the sounds of beast roars and galloping chaos.
Stones crumbled, trees collapsed.
A group of unicorn-headed, scaled beasts resembling giant lizards charged out of a ravine, spewing highly corrosive acid from their mouths, burning the ground with sizzling sounds.
Above, dozens of monstrous birds, over three meters in wingspan, their feathers black as ink and claws gleaming coldly, circled, screeching ear-piercing cries, and occasionally diving down to snatch the injured Cultivators.
The ground trembled as if ridden by a thousand galloping horses.
Countless strange-shaped, ferocious beasts, like a torrent let loose from a broken dam, flooded from every corner of the Heavenly Desperate Cliff toward this most chaotic, blood-drenched area.
A sudden yet expected beast tide erupted!
These demonic beasts had no specific target in their attacks.
They were simply drawn by the chaotic energy and blood scent, treating every living thing in their sight as prey.
Both the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall brought by Fang Zhenxiong and the lone fighter Luo Qingchen fell within their line of attack.
“Ah!”
A disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall failed to evade, getting his throat bitten off by a demon leopard engulfed in black flames, blood spurting wildly, his body twitching a few times before falling silent.
Another disciple attempted to retaliate with a Flying Sword but was caught by an enormous spider descending from above, its legs covered with barbs piercing through his chest, lifting him high up, eliciting a desperate scream.
The originally orderly Formation was torn to shreds by these fearless demonic beasts almost instantly, the brilliant aura of the formation dimming, losing its former power.
The scene fell into complete chaos!
Blood scent, screams, beast roars, spell blasts, interwoven into a symphony of death.
Fang Zhenxiong was also entangled by several demonic beasts, comparable in power to the Initial Realm of the Golden Core, forcing him to divert his attention.
