Li Shu, who had originally been evenly matched with the leader venomous lizard, hesitated for a moment in shock after seeing this scene. The leader venomous lizard seized the opening, leaving another wound on his body.
For a moment, blood flowed freely.
If Li Shu had not taken an antidote pill, he would have been poisoned by now and would most likely have lost his combat strength.
Luo Bin lay sprawled on the ground in a sorry state, completely lacking the strength to stand. At least five of his ribs were broken, and the meridians in several vital areas had also been shattered by the impact.
Most importantly, there were clear hoofprints on Luo Bin’s chest, one on the left and one on the right.
“Why…” Luo Bin murmured, unable to believe this was real.
Mo Bufan had nearly recovered from his injuries by now. He came to Luo Bin’s side and, without saying much, silently helped him up and walked toward the area where the disciples of the three sects had gathered.
Luo Bin did not refuse. This was absolutely not the time to lose his temper.
“We were all wrong. This white horse is no simple creature, and the Netherworld Mountain Secret Realm is definitely not simple either.”
Li Shu gave up on Suppressing and Killing the leader venomous lizard and came to Qin Mengya’s side.
Now, only the two of them remained as the three sects’ high-level combat strength.
Mo Bufan still needed some time to recover before he could enter the battle. As for Luo Bin and the remaining disciples of the three sects, they might still be able to deal with the attendant demon beasts, but if they faced the leader demon beast, defeat would be certain.
“Mm, I understand. We’ll join forces against this white horse. The power it just unleashed was truly astonishing, and there’s also that dark-golden spiritual power. I’ve never seen it before.”
Spiritual power generally possesses different colors according to its user’s attributes. For example, Qin Mengya’s spiritual power was usually blue or deep blue when manifested externally, reflecting its cold attribute.
As for the white horse’s dark-golden spiritual power, Qin Mengya did not know what kind of attribute it possessed.
But it gave Qin Mengya the feeling that it was extremely domineering.
Li Shu nodded, his expression solemn as he looked at the white horse transformed from Qin Hao. This white horse was stronger than him. If he faced it alone, he could only end up like Luo Bin.
Joining forces with Qin Mengya against the white horse was the best decision at present.
Qin Hao glanced at Qin Mengya and Li Shu’s formation and understood that the two intended to join forces against him.
Although Qin Hao had defeated Luo Bin, he knew clearly that if the Golden-Backed Saber in Luo Bin’s hands had not broken, he could never have defeated Luo Bin so quickly.
If Qin Mengya and Li Shu joined forces against him, he would definitely lose.
Therefore, Qin Hao did not hesitate to turn tail and run.
This left the Qin Mengya and Li Shu, who had been facing a formidable enemy, stunned. They exchanged glances as though asking each other what exactly was going on.
How had the white horse, which had been so arrogant just moments ago, suddenly run away?
“Could it be afraid?” Li Shu asked.
“Perhaps. That white horse’s spiritual intelligence is definitely not low,” Qin Mengya said uncertainly.
Qin Mengya and Li Shu did not pursue the white horse transformed from Qin Hao.
Given the current situation, pursuing it would have been very unwise.
Besides, Qin Mengya and Li Shu had already achieved their objective: defeating the white horse and eliminating this troublesome threat. Although things had differed somewhat from what they had expected, the objective had ultimately still been achieved.
After fleeing, Qin Hao transformed into a wild bull and began rampaging through the small wild bull herd, devouring wild bulls everywhere. His cultivation level rose once again!
“Congratulations, host. You Devoured a fourth qi refinement layer demon beast. Your cultivation level has increased, and you have obtained five devouring points.”
“Congratulations, host. You Devoured a fourth qi refinement layer demon beast. Your cultivation level has increased, and you have obtained five devouring points.”
“Congratulations, host. You Devoured…”
In less than fifteen minutes, Qin Hao had Devoured a large number of wild bulls, leaving only a scattered few on the plain.
At this moment, Qin Hao encountered the leading wild bull.
The leading wild bull stared at Qin Hao in confusion with its bull’s eyes, seemingly wondering why the other wild bulls died after this Attendant wild bull came into contact with them.
However, the leading wild bull never discovered the answer before its death.
Qin Hao Suppressed and Killed the leading wild bull without mercy, then Devoured it in a simple and brutal manner.
“Congratulations, host. You Devoured a ninth layer of qi refinement demon beast. Your cultivation level has increased to perfected ninth layer of qi refinement, and you have obtained ten devouring points.”
A rumble echoed from within his body. Qin Hao’s cultivation level rose once again. He was now only one step away from entering qi refinement peak.
“The fifth wave of the demon beast tide: the leader demon beast is at half-step foundation establishment, and the attendant demon beasts are at the fifth layer of qi refinement. Sixty in total.”
The fifth wave of demon beasts arrived.
This made the disciples of the three sects, who were already suffering in dire straits, even more overwhelmed.
The venomous lizards had not yet been dealt with, and another group of demon beasts had arrived!
The demon beasts that arrived this time were no simple creatures!
The sky was covered by a dense, oppressive mass, and crow calls rang out continuously.
“A Flock of Black Crows!” Qin Mengya’s pupils contracted.
Who would have thought it would be a Flock of Black Crows? This was going to be troublesome.
“Cover your ears quickly and seal your hearing!” Li Shu knew how formidable the Flock of Black Crows was and immediately shouted.
Luo Bin and Mo Bufan needed no reminder. As the strongest combatants among the disciples of the three sects who had come this time, they were well-informed and understood the terror of the Flock of Black Crows. The moment they saw it, they sealed their hearing.
However, aside from a few of them, the other disciples of the three sects had never seen a Flock of Black Crows, much less encountered any related knowledge, so their reactions were half a beat too slow and they did not seal their hearing immediately.
That half beat made them pay a terrible price.
“Caw—caw—caw!”
The Flock of Black Crows cried out together. Highly penetrating sound waves spread across the entire plain, and many disciples of the three sects had their eardrums shattered and bled from their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth!
In the brief span of three breaths, large numbers of disciples of the three sects fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground.
It was not only the disciples of the three sects; the fire sheep, wild bulls, white horse, and venomous lizards also suffered varying degrees of impact.
Some, like the disciples of the three sects, fell unconscious directly onto the ground.
“These crow calls are so annoying!”
Qin Hao had not sealed his hearing. At this moment, he was in the form of a venomous lizard. Looking at the Flock of Black Crows in the sky, Qin Hao felt genuine disgust.
Not only were they an oppressive black mass, they also kept cawing incessantly!
This made Qin Hao extremely irritated. The crow calls were simply too piercing.
However, to Qin Hao, the Flock of Black Crows’ area-wide sonic attack was merely loud and piercing. It had no other effect.
Qin Mengya had already sealed her hearing and was unaffected by the Flock of Black Crows’ cries, but she could still sense that the crow calls could not simply be ignored by sealing one’s hearing.
The Flock of Black Crows’ cries were at a special frequency, causing all the living beings present to resonate. As the speed of the resonance continued to accelerate, the internal organs of all the living beings would suffer severe and irreversible damage due to the resonance.
Of course, Qin Hao was the exception. Even if his internal organs were stirred into a pot of mush, he would not suffer serious harm.
This was The Terrifying Aspect of the Corpse King.
