Chapter 412: Chapter 330: Subjugation, Buddha’s Golden Body, Ruins

"Chang’sheng, let’s get out of here too!"

Yan Zhen saw Chang’sheng hesitating in place and couldn’t help but step forward to ask. This place was extremely dangerous, and who knew what changes might occur ahead; it was best to leave early.

"Sister Zhen, this Bloodthirsty Taotie has the bloodline of the Ancient Taotie. If I can subdue it, it’ll be a huge help for me. You go escort the disciples out with Elder Sword Immortal—I’ll catch up soon!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied, then dashed straight in the direction of the Nine-Eyed Taotie.

Guided by his divine sense, Lin Chang’sheng had already located the Nine-Eyed Taotie’s position.

"Be careful—!"

Yan Zhen warned, but could only follow Lin Chang’sheng’s arrangement and started escorting the disciples away.

Even though they had Wine Sword Immortal and Yan Zhen leading them out, there were still too many Flaming Skeletons and Bloodthirsty Taoties around for them to protect every disciple.

Some disciples on the fringes couldn’t withstand the assault. A few already had their legs bitten by the Bloodthirsty Taotie and were dragged, screaming, into the distant darkness.

"Huh, are these demon beasts afraid of this?"

Cao De noticed that the demon beasts seemingly didn’t dare attack him, so he glanced at the candlestick in his hand.

He had picked up this candlestick from the temple, thinking it looked nice and worth keeping as a souvenir, so he’d stashed it away.

He never thought the candlestick would actually have a deterrent effect on the demon beasts?

"Senior Brother Cao, you’re really strong, let me use it! I can’t hold them off any longer!"

Behind Cao De, a disciple noticed something odd and hurriedly called out.

As he spoke, he reached out, intending to grab the candlestick from Cao De’s hand.

But how could Cao De just hand it over that easily?

"Screw you—if you want it, go get one from the temple yourself! There’s no way I’m letting you take advantage of me!"

Cao De slapped the other disciple’s hand away. At a life-and-death moment like this, how could he just pass over such a treasure? Who knows, this candlestick might just save his life!

Plus, even if he were to give it away, Cao De much preferred giving it to a girl—it might even earn him some favor. No way was he sharing with the male disciples. He wasn’t exactly into Long Yang, after all.

"Quick! Everyone, go grab something from the temple! Maybe the temple relics possess some Buddha nature and keep these demon beasts at bay!"

A disciple suggested, and many agreed instantly. They all surged into the temple and started fighting over artifacts.

Chairs, statues, pillows, offering tables, incense burners, furnace cauldrons—the disciples stripped them all clean in an instant.

Yu Lingfei claimed a Buddha body, while Gao Ziyue got a Buddha hand.

Zhuo Yijian snatched a pillow, and Ling Caiyin got a candlestick.

Out of the more than forty disciples, over twenty had gotten their hands on various temple items, more or less.

The disciples who held temple relics stood on the outskirts, making the Bloodthirsty Taoties and Flaming Skeletons wary and not daring to attack blindly.

It seemed these artifacts really did intimidate the demon beasts.

"It really works!"

The disciple holding the Buddha head said joyfully.

These demon beasts were definitely not something Golden Core Stage disciples could fight off. Now that they had treasures in hand, they ought to be safe.

Crash—

But before he finished speaking, the ground beneath the disciple began to tremble. A gigantic Sharp-toothed Giant Sand Insect suddenly burst from the earth, biting the disciple in half with its gaping maw.

The sand insect’s sharp teeth were like blades, piercing straight through the disciple’s body, instantly spraying blood everywhere.

Thud—

A blood-stained Buddha head rolled to the ground, while the disciple was dragged underground by the giant sand insect to be devoured.

"What the..."

Only now did everyone realize that the temple relics didn’t provide complete protection from the demon beasts—at least, they were useless against the underground Sharp-toothed Giant Sand Insect.

"What are you waiting for? Move it, now!"

Yan Zhen was rendered speechless by these disciples—they were so paralyzed by fear that they just froze on the spot.

Some, in their panic, flew straight into the sky, only to be struck down in the next instant by Celestial Thunder.

...

While the chaos continued on this side, Lin Chang’sheng had already found the Nine-Eyed Taotie.

"This Nine-Eyed Taotie actually has late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation and is guarded by six Demon Kings at early Divinity Transformation and four at the middle stage."

Lin Chang’sheng scanned their strength and found it anything but simple.

But he wasn’t powerless to fight, either.

Crack, crack, crack—

Just as Lin Chang’sheng spotted the Nine-Eyed Taotie, it noticed him too.

It let out a piercing sonic attack.

But the sound attack didn’t come from the Taotie’s mouth—it was emitted by its ears rubbing together.

Lin Chang’sheng circulated his primordial power, forming an elemental shield around his body.

Buzzzzzz—

As the sonic attack slammed against the shield, Lin Chang’sheng felt his mind violently shaken.

It nearly forced his Nascent Soul out of his body.

This sonic assault was actually accompanied by a divine soul attack—abnormally fierce.

Luckily, Lin Chang’sheng’s divine soul power was strong enough. Otherwise, the Nine-Eyed Taotie might have shattered his soul with a single hit and killed him right there.

Withstood the Nine-Eyed Taotie’s assault, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t hesitate—he pulled out the Thunder Flame Divine Bow and instantly loosed a storm of flaming arrows into the sky.

The arrow rain covered a hundred feet around the Nine-Eyed Taotie in a dense barrage.

Lin Chang’sheng thought the Taotie had nowhere to run and would have to take his attack head-on. But the ten Demon Kings guarding its side immediately unfurled their giant ears and formed a round shell, wrapping the Nine-Eyed Taotie within.

Boom, boom, boom—

Countless Thunder Flame Arrows hammered the Demon Kings’ ears, sending out deafening blasts. When the noise finally subsided, the Nine-Eyed Taotie hadn’t suffered a scratch.
