The next moment, sensing through his Spirit Detection Technique, he saw that figure in the courtyard suddenly sit up straight, with even more surging spiritual power emanating from within, like the center of a vortex.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!"

The Mountain and River Sword vibrated with a piercing sound at the periphery, but could never pierce through.

Master Liu knew that the easiest way to stop this storm was to destroy its core.

However, this monster's strength was too formidable; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through its defenses.

"Swish!!"

The figure shot skyward, with a quivering on its back, as two blood-red wings of spiritual power sprouted, then floated quietly in the sky, gazing at everyone.

"Damn it!!"

Pei Laoliu cursed under his breath, realizing there might really be no way out this time.

Though the monster was heavily injured while dealing with the Heavenly Tribulation, it had astonishingly recovered by now.

At least from its displayed status, a mere fake Golden Core cultivator like himself couldn't hope to stop it.

"Could it be... that I really have to leave like this...?"

Master Liu bit his lip in discontent, glancing at the people present, as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, at that moment, the woman enveloped in blood-red light in the sky abruptly opened her eyes, and with a wave of her hand, shot dozens of beams of light in all directions.

The beams landed and connected, forming a curved blood-red barrier that sealed all escape routes.

Seeing this, everyone's heart went cold, knowing the situation was dire.

The monsters hidden in the surrounding woods, led by the Wolf Demon, emerged again, all gathering beneath the blood-red woman in a display of submission.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your breakthrough! We celebrate it!"

The Wolf Demon led the salute, prostrating itself to the woman in the sky, expressing submission.

As it spoke, it maliciously glanced back at Master Liu, as if saying: "You're doomed!"

In the air, the blood-red woman's eyes looked at them plainly, with no trace of emotion in her pupils.

The Wolf Demon, upon raising its head and meeting her gaze, felt a chill in its heart.

A strong sense of danger arose, causing it to turn pale and flee frantically toward the woods.

In the next moment, a surge of blood-red spiritual power erupted in the area it was just in.

The monsters standing there were all enveloped.

Countless streams of blood energy were drawn from their bodies, turning into blood-red threads drifting toward the figure high up.

"Roar roar roar!!"

The monsters let out mournful howls, their bodies visibly withering.

In just a brief moment, they all turned into mummified corpses.

"Howl howl howl!!"

The Wolf Demon, hiding aside, shrieked in terror, its liver and gallbladder trembling.

It hurriedly tried to escape in the distance, only to be blocked by the blood-red barrier, unable to leave.

"Hiss..."

The crowd gasped, shocked by the monster's ruthlessness, far beyond their expectations.

It had mercilessly killed its own subordinates without the slightest hesitation.

Pei Laoliu was even more somber.

The monster, previously so injured, had healed considerably after this feeding, with the Foundation Establishment Stage monsters becoming nutrients for its recovery.

"Huff... ha..."

After consuming the monsters, the creature sighed with pleasure.

After a moment's adjustment, it leisurely turned its gaze toward Pei Laoliu.

"Heh heh... Another human cultivator... What a stroke of luck..."

"Hmm... don't worry, I won't kill you right away. Later, I'll take good care of you; I've heard human cultivators have quite a few treasures..."

The monster croaked in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, its tone brimming with excitement.

Clearly, through Shangguan Jingling, it had already tasted the benefits of human cultivators.

The cultivation resources they possessed were far beyond what the mountain monsters could imagine.

Master Liu furrowed his brow, silent.

At that moment, he was using the last Spirit Stone to quickly replenish his spiritual power, planning to launch a final desperate attack.

The monster then turned its gaze to the tiger demon on the ground, sneering:

"Tiger, from the start you've opposed me. I know what you did, siding against your kin for these humans. I'll deal with you first!"

As it spoke, it raised a hand, and a Blood Claw attacked the tiger demon.

The tiger was already gravely injured and couldn't dodge, getting struck hard.

"Roar!!"

The tiger demon let out a wretched cry, its massive body flying dozens of meters away, smashing into a fake mountain before stopping.

The Blood Claw's aura corroded its flesh and fur, quickly causing widespread festering wounds.

The mighty appearance of the tiger demon was now gone, bleeding all over, breathing more out than in.

Yet even like this, it showed no sign of begging, saying:

"Heavenly Blood Worm... you dare accuse me... did you kill any fewer...?"

The Heavenly Blood Worm sneered coldly and replied:

"I am their king; naturally, I can determine their life and death! Sacrificing their lives to help me heal is their fate!"

It then glanced down at Han Yue City, revealing an indulgent expression, and said:

"Once I've dealt with you ants, there awaits a feast down there for me! Haha... I can feel the blood of millions calling to me..."

"Fiend! You dare!!"

At that moment, a shout suddenly rang in their ears.

In the sky, a Giant Sword formed, cleaving toward the Heavenly Blood Worm.

Tianyuan Sky Sword!

Master Liu had used this move to slay the Tree Demon before.

"Hmph!"

The Heavenly Blood Worm snorted, its eyes surging with blood energy.

Intense blood-red light clashed with the falling Giant Sword, instantly dispersing it.

"Go now!!"

However, Master Liu, after releasing the powerful move, immediately rushed toward the perimeter.

The Mountain and River Sword in his hand transformed into a silver dragon, striking the shield.

It turned out his Sky Sword move was a decoy, having form but no substance.

The real spiritual power was gathered in his palm, delivering a full-force strike with the Youlong Sword.

Master Liu knew the power gap with his opponent; defeating it was never his plan. From the start, he aimed to escape.

"Buzz!!"

The Mountain and River Sword let out an ear-splitting roar, breaking a gap in the shield under the silver dragon's impact.

Pei Laoliu rejoiced at the sight, quickly channeling spiritual power to fly toward it.

Seeing this, Bai Yue and others knew the opportunity mustn't be missed, hastening toward the exit.

"Roar!!!"

From behind, an angry roar resounded.

A streak of blood-red light shot at a faster speed, sealing the shield's gap before anyone could reach it.

Everyone, including Pei Laoliu, unable to catch the exit in time, was trapped again.

There was a fortunate guy who had stayed nearby trying to break the shield earlier.

He managed to escape swiftly, disappearing in a flash.

"Heh heh... sly one, but you won't run far..."

The Heavenly Blood Worm glanced at the distant figure, smirking coldly.
