C103 Shen Huiyang (1/2)
Shen Jingyang came back to his senses. The blazing fire continued to wreak havoc in the Tai Hua Altar. Every time a Qiong Qi beast's claws came down, it was like a massacre. The claws left the ground, and a large number of people died. At this time, the Qiong Qi Beast's gigantic body had already entered the Tai Hua Altar. It roared, looking down at the disciples of Ottawa, who were frantically running for their lives, and spewed out blazing flames from its mouth from time to time.
Four sharp claws stepped on the ground, as if they were four huge stone pillars. The black horn on its head was like a pillar supporting the sky, and the tail behind it was like a thick dragon whip as it swung back and forth, shining with a brown flickering light, giving off a terrifying aura. Everyone had grown up in the Green Hill, and they had all seen the Aquatic Qilin from the depths of the abyss. They all thought that it was the most ferocious and magical creature in the world, but compared to Qiong Qi, the Aquatic Qilin was like a meek lamb.
In the midst of his panic, Shen Jingyang pulled Yu Yin to his side and asked, ”Brother Yun, what's going on? Why did Qiong Qi break out from the tower?” Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Jingyang caught one of the fire spears and threw it to the side, stabbing it into the stone.
”How would I know? By the time we reached Taihua Rock, Qiong Qi had already broken out of the hole. The Exquisite Pagoda had already been destroyed …” Yun Jiuchang lamented, ”Perhaps my decision from the start was wrong.”
”I suspect …” Another fiery light beam flew over. Shen Jingyang grabbed it and stared at it, his eyes dark. ”That Exquisite Pagoda was intentionally destroyed by someone. Qiong Qi might have been secretly set free by someone.”
Hearing this, Yun Jiu Tang's mind was in a mess. The six realms had evil intentions, how did the Qiong Qi come about? The Qiong Qi once again roared, as Jade Ion could not contend with it alone. Every breath the Qiong Qi Beast took was accompanied by the collapse of one of the Tai Hua Altar's palaces. Currently, the Tai Hua Altar was a mess.
”Brother Yun, there's no need to say anymore.” Shen Jingyang patted Yun Jiuchang's shoulder and suddenly stood up, ”Wait for me to beat back this Qiong Qi first.” Shen Tianyang pulled Yu Yin along as he threw her into the flames that filled the sky.
The black rain fell down from the sky without any signs of stopping. Yun Jiuchang's hair, face and clothes were all drenched in the black rain. He looked at the mess that was filled with smoke. All his previous glory had been reduced to rubble. The disciples who were running away in all directions continued to wail. The scattered fire spears, the broken swords, and the decapitated corpses; these tragic scenes had awoken the memories of his slumber. That memory was exactly the same as the one from today. Chu Feng recalled that the massacre of the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest had been similarly tragic.
The sound of the huge flames brought Yun Jiu Tang back to reality, but his hand was incredibly warm, a warm and delicate hand was placed on his palm. He turned to his side to look at Gu Xue Luo, he was still as warm as ever in the cold black rain.
At this moment, in the face of the tenacious and dying resistance of the crowd, Qiong Qi finally used his tail. He bent over, his head almost touching the ground. The beast tail swept over with a fierce wind, and all the pavilions and palaces that it touched were immediately cut into pieces, and the trees immediately turned into ashes.
Even though Shen Jingyang and Jade Ion were very far apart, they stood side by side. Their beast tails swept towards Qin Lie from afar, and the two of them had no intention of backing down. With the Dark Bow in his hand, he summoned the Phecda Arrow from his back and nocked it with the bow. Jade still held the Ottawa sword in her hand, the silver glow shining from the blade was very powerful, it was definitely not something that could be reached by ordinary people.
The beast tail came closer and closer. Shen Jingyang held his breath and focused all of his internal energy on his arm, drawing the bowstring. The Phecda Arrow was like an arrow of death. The moment Shen Jingyang let go of the bow, the Phecda Arrow left its bowstring, letting out a buzzing sound. The Phecda Arrow flew towards Qiong Qi's tail. At first, they thought that it would strike like a flint, but what surprised them was that the arrow had penetrated deep into the tail. The tail twitched a little, and with Qiong Qi's scream, it continued to fly towards them.
The moment the beast tail approached him, Shen Yushi flew away and turned his head to look at the distant Jade Ions. He saw Jade Ions wielding the Tai Hua Sword, stabbing at the thick beast tail. ”Ah!” With a blood-curdling scream, the beast tail swept across, knocking Jade Ion and her sword a few meters away, heavily hitting the ground and spitting out blood.
”Master …” He realized that Jade Ion was no longer his master and that they no longer had any feelings of master and disciple. He silently swallowed the latter half of the words, trying his best to not overthink it.
At this moment, Jadeite Shadow was resisting a branch stream of flame by herself. Relying on her foundation in the Awakening Court and the defensive techniques Shen Jingyang had given her over the years, she had mastered a set of defensive techniques that did not require any inner force at all.
Yu Yin also saw the injuries on Yu Qing's face. After they looked at each other in silence for a moment, she stubbornly turned her head around and put on a heart of stone.
The Qiong Qi took one of the Phecda Arrows in his tail, and continuously shook his tail in the air. From his mouth, a ”Ao …” Aoo … It let out a blood-curdling screech, as if it could feel the piercing pain coming from its heart. It stood upright like a towering mountain in front of the crowd, its blood-red eyes looking down from the sky at the struggling people on the ruins, as if it were the ruler of all things. Its head slowly turned towards the position of Shen Jingyang and Yun Jiuchang, its eyes already reflected in the figures of Shen Jingyang and Yun Jiuchang, as if it recognized them. The blood-basin's screams turned into low gasps, and everyone looked at it in fear, not knowing what it was going to do next.
Suddenly, the Qiong Qi Beast roared towards the sky again, its body shaking violently. The Tai Hua Altar then shook the earth, shaking the mountains. Everyone was standing as if they were on the verge of collapse. Its eyes shot out furious glows as it looked at Yun Jiu Tang and Shen Ying Yang. The two sharp claws in front of it also leapt high into the air from time to time, and its beast tail swung up and down in the air, twitching. Shen Jingyang said to Yun Jiuchang, ”Why is Qiong Qi always staring at the two of us? Could it be that he has already recognized us?”
”I wonder how Qiong Qi came out of the Exquisite Pagoda. Is it for revenge or to regain his freedom? However, there is a record in the 'Ancient Heavenly Spirit Record' that the Qiong Qi, the baneful creature, often devours its master or benefactor … ”
”Ah?!” Shen Jingyang cried out in surprise, his brows knitted tightly, ”Isn't this returning kindness with enmity?” ”What did I say? Bringing it into the human world will bring endless calamity? I didn't expect it to really come true …”
”It's all your fault!” Yu Yin muttered.
Just as everyone was relaxing their vigilance, the injured Yu Ren in the distance cried out, ”Young heroes, be careful …” Before he could finish his sentence, Qiong Qi pounced on him with his two front paws. Those two sharp claws were like two tight and airtight nets, pressing down on everyone as they fled in all directions. In the midst of his panic, Yun Jiu Tang tugged at Wang Qing Chuan's sleeves, who was on the verge of falling down. In the midst of his panic, Yun Jiu Tang pulled at Wang Qing Chuan's sleeves, who was on the verge of falling down.
Shen Jingyang and Yun Jiuchang were spread out on both sides of the sharp claws, and after this attack, everyone was still in a state of shock. At this moment, Qiong Qi was bowing down with a low growl. His head was slowly lowered, and the black Qilin horn above his head was emitting an evil light.
