Chapter 16 - Tian Myriad Mother (2/2)
He Chengchuan did not know how to react, and he could only say, "Are you out of your mind? Do you still want to live? Although this dead body has a very high value, it can't possibly be more valuable than your own life. The battle is going to spread to here in no time. Besides, this Tian Elephant demon's body is very heavy; it's not easy to move it…"
He didn't finish his words as the speed of Zhong Yue moving the body was quite fast.
He Chengchuan was shocked by the strength Zhong Yue displayed, and he thought, The body of this mutated Tian Elephant demon is made of pure dark gold, which is much heavier than darksteel. Its body weight must be hefty, not to mention its flesh is still perfectly intact, the weight… Junior Martial Brother Zhong's visualized Jiao Dragon could easily move it, just how strong must his psyche be?
"We risked our lives in this journey of refining ourselves, how could we go back barehanded?"
Zhong Yue laughed and said, "I say we move this body out and split the profit after selling it. But the other martial siblings…"
Ting Lanyue, He Chengchuan, and the others remained silent and sad. Only a few tens of them had survived among the hundreds of disciples under Elder Pu. The others had all been sacrificed in the ritual.
Ting Lanyue lamented and helped Zhong Yue drag the body to the exit and said in a very low tone, "This is all because of the neglect of the higher ups and the treacherous plans of the demons. There were almost thousands of upper disciples that died in vain today, not to mention the two elder guardians.…"
He Chengchuan shook his head and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong is right, there are traitors among the higher-ups who plotted all of this with the demons! The thousands of upper disciples…"
Before he could finish talking, Ting Lanyue interrupted and said, "Everyone, keep quiet about the traitors among the higher-ups after returning, or you will be asking for trouble! There will surely be someone among the higher-ups that is wise enough to deal with this, let them handle this themselves"
Everyone understood and nodded in agreement.
For someone in the lower ranks, it was lucky for them to be able to survive this time. If they continued talking about it when they return, they would be easily eliminated by the traitors among the higher-ups!
When Zhong Yue was about to walk out of the Demon Ruins, he turned back and saw the black-robed Qi Practitioner standing in his demonic wind and behind him was the clearer and clearer form of Tian Myriad Mother!
Tian Myriad Mother had the body of a spider and a total of eight heads, elephant, snake, cyclops, hawk heads and so on. Her eyes remained closed, signifying that she was still yet to be fully awakened!
The flesh of the thousand disciples that was sacrificed and the blood essence of the two elder guardians were being absorbed by this demon god to form her flesh!
Around the altar, an uncountable number of demons kept on worshipping the awakening of this demon god!
"Hahahaha, Fang Jiange, it seems like you have improved by quite a lot. You truly live up to your name as the Metal Innate Spirit, the second among the four premier young men in the Swords Gate…"
The black robe Qi Practitioner then began to leave the scene, he said, "But do you think you could kill Tian Myriad Mother just by yourself?"
"You are no demon!"
Fang Jiange stopped advancing and said, "You are one of us from the Swords Gate. All that demonic energy and the black robe are just a facade… Who are you?"
He then slowly pulled out his sword, forming an ostensibly unlimited number of golden rays of light that surrounded the sword which keened with the loud sound of thunder.
Fang Jiange's face remained placid, and he continued walking and said, "Figured you wouldn't say anything but it would have been superfluous anyhow. You would have to resort to your trump card if we were to fight to the death and by doing so, I would eventually find out your identity."
The black robe Qi Practitioner laughed loudly while his body suddenly crumbled. His crumpled body then turned into black smoke and disappeared while saying, "It is not so easy to get me, Fang Jiange. Tian Myriad Mother is going to awaken soon. I hope you can survive!"
On the altar, the huge demon god's spirit slowly opened its eyes and looked at Fang Jiange.
"Livestock…" said the demon god's spirit.
"Livestock?"
Intense killing intent gushed out in Fang Jiange, and he swung out his sword. As he swung his sword, the area around him instantly got filled with unlimited Sword Qi, and they converged to form a single amalgamation of Sword Qi before penetrating the Tian Myriad Mother with tremendous force!
"Dead or escaped?"
The spirit of Tian Myriad Mother dispersed, and blood rained down from the skies. Fang Jiange sheathed his sword, and he looked down to the ground only to see a nearly endless number of demon corpses strewn about. However, Tian Myriad Mother's spirit was nowhere to be found.
"Fu Shan, carry up my sword, let us go back."
Fang Jiange threw his sword, and it landed on the turtle's back. The old turtle let out a groan and walked toward the exit while saying, "Jiange, I'm afraid that Tian Myriad Mother has been revived."
"Just a useless spirit, it can't cause much trouble. We should just let the old geezers in Swords Gate uncover the whereabouts of Tian Myriad Mother's spirit."
Fang Jiange continued calmly, "What interests me the most is the identity of the traitor and his purpose of reviving Tian Myriad Mother."
