Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1218: Bite to the Death
Earlier, Mu Xiao casually sensed the situation of Zhang Yidao's death. He believed that if he wanted to kill Zhang Yidao, who was at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, he could do it with a casual slap, as he was already an Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert.
However, this woman's surprise attack also took two moves, suggesting she was not an Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert at all, but at most a Half-step Earth Realm, exploiting Zhang Yidao's carelessness to succeed.
But now, facing Xu Hongzhuang's attack personally, Mu Xiao realized how laughable his previous assumptions were, as she was clearly an Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert not weaker than himself.
Moreover, he sensed an extremely powerful and strange force from her strike, a force somewhat akin to that of some Ninth Rank low-level Vein Demons.
In fact, Mu Xiao's sensing was correct; having activated the Myriad Demon Divine Body, Xu Hongzhuang could not only use this special body to tame Vein Demons but also her physical strength far exceeded ordinary cultivators of the same level.
As the Myriad Demon Divine Body that even Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu was astonished by, how could it be simple? For instance, at this moment, just revealing the tip of the iceberg was not something that the same Early Stage Earth Bending Realm Mu Xiao could withstand.
Furthermore, Mu Xiao had only recently broken into the Early Stage Earth Bending Realm by sheer luck through the accumulation of Strange Spirit Crystals, and was far inferior to genuine Early Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivators, merely able to bully those like Jian Xi and Yue Sheng of the Seeking Origin Realm.
Adding to that, Xu Hongzhuang was far more formidable than an ordinary Early Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivator, her combat power even not inferior to ordinary Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivators; given this disparity, the outcome of this clash was inevitable.
Bam!
The berserk force of the Myriad Demon Divine Body poured out, causing Mu Xiao, who had crossed his arms over his chest, to immediately lose his balance and fly out, even further than Jian Xi had before.
"This..."
Seeing this scene, aside from Yun Xiao, Jian Xi and Yue Sheng nearly dropped their jaws in disbelief, as this was entirely different from what they knew about Xu Hongzhuang.
"Ea... Early Stage Earth Bending Realm?! "
Jian Xi, despite being a Half-step Earth Realm cultivator, finally reacted even though he was slightly injured internally.
The red-skirted girl who could blast an Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert like Mu Xiao several feet away turned out to be a real Early Stage Earth Bending Realm expert?
At these words, Yue Sheng couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Having spent several days together, this girl who stayed beside that plain-clothed young man, keeping a low profile, was actually a hidden master, a delightful surprise indeed.
"Puff!"
As Jian Xi and Yue Sheng felt shock and joy, Mu Xiao, blasted several feet away, finally forced himself to stand stably, only to unexpectedly feel a dark force erupting from his body, causing him to involuntarily spew a mouthful of bright red blood.
In fact, if Mu Xiao had retreated a few steps to unload the force, he might not have suffered such severe internal injuries; unfortunately, his arrogance made him forcibly stabilize himself, leading to aggravated injuries under the release of inner strength controlled by the Myriad Demon Divine Body.
"Hahaha, Mu Lang, seems your so-called meticulous Lonely Wolf Team has miscalculated today!"
Though Ruan Ying was at a disadvantage, he wasn't completely unaware of the situation, glimpsing Mu Xiao spewing blood out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, filled with undeniable satisfaction.
Just as Ruan Ying said, the cunning Mu brothers, usually taking advantage of others with the Lonely Wolf Team, had never suffered such a loss before.
Now with two dead and one severely injured in the Lonely Wolf Team, their loss of Mu Xiao's Early Stage Earth Bending Realm combat power meant the Hawk Squad need not fear them anymore.
Xu Hongzhuang's swift strike effectively reversed the disadvantageous situation for the Hawk Squad, tipping the scale in their favor.
Bam!
Hearing Ruan Ying's laughter, Mu Lang's face turned so grim it looked like water might drip from it, and he finally launched a powerful attack, forcing Ruan Ying to retreat several steps.
Sensing the current situation in the field, the Lonely Wolf Team, with two members dead and Mu Xiao heavily injured and losing the ability to fight, could no longer rely solely on Mu Lang to turn the tide.
"Hmph, Ruan Ying, this time you were lucky; I'll take revenge for today's grudge!"
Mu Lang, who lived on the edge all year round, was indeed pragmatic and decisive in retreating when realizing the situation was hopeless.
In Mu Lang's view, though their overall strength was less than the Hawk Squad's, the Lonely Wolf Team was free to leave, as Ruan Ying and the others couldn't stop them, leaving the settling of accounts for later.
"Ah, I'll make you pay with your lives!"
At this moment, a furious roar suddenly came from somewhere, revealing Hong Wu, driven mad, recklessly attacking his opponent with open gates without regard for his safety.
However, Hong Wu's opponent was a Peak Seeking Origin Realm expert. Even when he was fully focused earlier, he was no match. How could he possibly win now, when he has lost all reason and is fighting desperately?
Even though Mu Lang had given the order to retreat, when he saw Hong Wu rushing at him recklessly, a cold sneer flashed across the eyes of the member of the Lonely Wolf Team.
"Since you're so eager to meet your brother, I'll fulfill your wish!"
This cultivator from the Lonely Wolf Team was also one of those who conspired against the Hong brothers. After saying this, he lifted his right foot, aiming to kick Hong Wu's chest.
If this kick landed, it might break several of Hong Wu's ribs. But he, having lost his senses and bent on revenge, was only thinking of biting off a piece of his enemy's flesh before dying, without considering anything else.
"Huh?"
Yet just when everyone thought Hong Wu would meet his doom from this kick, the cultivator from the Lonely Wolf Team, who had just lifted his right leg halfway, suddenly put it down again.
"What's going on?"
As this thought surged in everyone's mind, Hong Wu had no such considerations. In this situation, the Lonely Wolf Team cultivator was caught off guard and was immediately tackled to the ground by Hong Wu.
Even in such a blitz attack, despite the cultivator from the Lonely Wolf Team being one small realm higher than Hong Wu, he had little strength to fight back. Especially since he suddenly felt his whole body turn weak, unable to even lift a finger.
"No... don't..."
The Lonely Wolf Team cultivator, knocked to the ground, watched in horror as the frenzied Hong Wu pounced on him, his white teeth aiming for his throat, and he was so terrified his soul almost left his body, as if foreseeing the terrifying outcome.
"Pfft!"
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, Hong Wu's teeth eventually sank into the man's throat. With a faint sound, they seemed to see the dark red blood spraying from the corner of Hong Wu's mouth.
The crowd watched this scene with terror on their faces, feeling a chill run down their spines. When a person goes mad, you never know what they are capable of, just like Hong Wu at this moment.
Even by now, Mu Lang and his team were still puzzled. When Hong Wu charged, there was apparently no defense, and just one kick could have crushed him to death.
But why did that member of the Lonely Wolf Team suddenly abandon his action? Even so, with his Peak Seeking Origin Realm cultivation, he shouldn't have been tackled to the ground by a deranged Hong Wu, right?
"Gulp! Gulp!"
In front of the quiet Yin Sha Mountain, everyone could even hear Hong Wu softly sucking blood, making their own throats involuntarily move. Even their own people felt it was terrifying, let alone the enemies of the Lonely Wolf Team.
So at this moment, the two Lonely Wolf Team members who were fighting with Yang Xian and Hong Si, quickly retreated in shock, fearing their opponents might go mad too, and they would end up like their companion.
"Ah! Ah!"
At first, the cultivator from the Lonely Wolf Team could still make some meaningless sounds, but moments later, the sound gradually diminished until there was no breathing at all, clearly having bled to death.
"Ah!"
Feeling the person beneath him fall silent, Hong Wu finally seemed to regain a trace of sanity. He lifted his head and let out a howl to the sky, a hint of sorrow and anger in his voice.
"Third Brother, did you see that? I avenged you!"
Hong Wu looked up at the sky, as if there were several pairs of eyes watching him, his deep voice carrying a trace of heartache, mixed with a hint of vengeful satisfaction.
In fact, the Lonely Wolf Team cultivator Hong Wu had bitten to death was the very culprit who killed his third brother. Because of this, he had been so frantically deranged just now.
Perhaps at the moment Hong Wu lost his mind, even he didn't expect to succeed. At that time, he thought it was do or die, and if he could tear a piece of flesh from the enemy before dying, it would be a small tribute to his brothers' spirits in heaven.
"Quick, leave!"
The strange weakening of the Lonely Wolf Team member and Hong Wu's insane bloodthirstiness made Mu Lang feel a deep-rooted fear. Today's situation seemed to be completely out of control.
If it were only a deranged Hong Wu, Mu Lang, as an Early Stage Earth Bending Realm master, wouldn't care. But his sixth sense told him that if he didn't retreat now, the entire Lonely Wolf Team might be wiped out here.
Thus, at this moment, Mu Lang darted directly to his brother's side, helping him up. Without any more harsh words or caring about the two remaining team members, he intended to flee.
