Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 51: Terrified and Shaken Earth

The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer. It sounded like at least a thousand monsters were rushing towards them. The 'crackling' sound of nearby trees being broken could also be heard clearly. In front of the formation was an open area more than ten feet wide, which was used as a buffer zone. Every disciple's heart was pounding and a chill ran down his back.

With a 'bang', an ancient tree was broken, wood chips flew everywhere, and a shield-armored bison rushed out with flying sand and rocks, rushing towards the crowd. For a moment, several darts with strong winds were like meteors in front of the crowd, and 'shua shua' shot towards the pillar-like front legs of the sword-armored bison. The bison was hit by several darts in a row, let out a sad roar, fell to the ground, slid several feet away, and rushed towards the crowd. The buffer zone of more than ten feet was not enough, so it quickly leaped back.

Almost at the same time, several shield-armored bison, one-horned wild horses, and leopard-bodied deer trampled on the rocks, roared and leaped out of the forest, and crashed into the boat formation. The disciples kept shouting and shot darts at the oncoming monsters like heavy rain. The monsters were hit by the darts and fell immediately, sliding in the buffer zone like a rolling boulder, hitting up gravel and flying. In an instant, several monsters were running and piled up in front of the boat formation.

Dozens of monsters were galloping past on both sides of the boat formation, breaking many trees and sending broken wood flying. Only ancient trees several meters thick were left shaking. The jungle suddenly became clear and the rumbling sound shook the sky, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

A leopard-headed deer hit a tree stump, its body tilted, and it deviated from its direction. It was knocked away by a galloping shield-armored bison and fell in front of a one-horned wild horse. It was hit by the horse's horn, and its stomach was pierced open, with bloody intestines gushing out. After the collision, the wild horse fell to the ground sideways, and before it could stand up, it was trampled to pieces by the herd of monsters that had caught up with it. Such scenes could be seen everywhere.

Dozens of monsters swarmed in. The darts thrown by the Cangshan disciples could only hit the monsters in the front row. Before the monsters in the front row fell, the monsters in the back row had already pounced on them. The disciples with higher cultivation levels jumped up one after another, their white clothes fluttering, and shot down the monsters running from behind. Suddenly, the monsters shot down in front of the formation piled up like a mountain, wailing and struggling.

With a 'bang', a huge mammoth crashed into the pile of monsters, its corpse flying across and smashing into the formation. The corpse of a leopard-bodied deer was still hanging on the mammoth's scimitar-like tusks. It leaped up with a long roar. The Cangshan disciples saw that it was not good. If it fell, several disciples would be trampled to death. The darts could no longer stop such a huge monster. The formation immediately dispersed to avoid the impact of the mammoth. Wuzhan and Qin Moyao were held by several disciples and moved a little slower. When they saw that they could not avoid it, a black shadow flew over. With a 'teng', the mammoth's head was kicked by Xiao Yuzhen's jade foot wrapped in black air. The head immediately tilted, the body tilted, and deviated in direction. It passed by Wuzhan's side with a fierce wind, wailing. The two disciples were unable to dodge and were immediately pressed under the giant body and crushed into meat paste. 'Bang! ' It stopped after hitting several ancient trees in a row.

Xiao Yuzhen was seen surrounded by black air, her clothes fluttering, her pretty figure flashing. She struck the oncoming monsters with her left palm and right kick, with indescribable grace and ease, almost like dancing. The rushing herd of beasts split in front of her, and Xiao Yuzhen tore a gap in it. On both sides without obstacles, the knocked-down monsters whizzed past, which was indescribably shocking.

Wuzhan couldn't help but admire secretly, such cultivation was beyond the reach of Qingyang and others. Although Wuzhan could not practice, he still knew something about the realm of cultivation. The cultivation of Qingyang, He Bilu and others should be around the Hedao period, while the cultivation of Xiao Yuzhen in front of him should be the early stage of out-of-body state (Sanxian level), which was two realms higher than theirs. No wonder Qingyang did not dare to act rashly. It seemed that this world of cultivation relied on this cultivation level. He remembered Daoxuan's "Dangkong Jue" in Shangdang, and his cultivation should have reached this level. Now he had no cultivation at all, and his life was in the hands of others. How could he fulfill those promises that were not fulfilled.

Qin Moyao stared at Xiao Yuzhen. Her cultivation had just entered the Hedao stage and she was far from being Xiao Yuzhen's opponent. Although she knew that her master had entered the middle stage of the out-of-body state, if they really fought, it would be hard to say who would win with the poison in Xiao Yuzhen's body. She couldn't help but worry secretly.

With a "wow", a saber-toothed tiger rushed over diagonally, its fangs sharp and as fast as lightning. The disciples of Cangshan were thrown into chaos and only cared about their own safety. Although several disciples were protecting the two, they were all paying attention to the front. By the time they discovered it, it was too late. At this moment, with a "puff", the saber-toothed tiger's head was pierced. The one who did it was Xiao Yuzhen, who was kicking the monster down. "Keep an eye on them!" Wuzhan's hand pressed weakly on Qin Moyao's hand. In that scene just now, Qin Moyao almost made a move.

After an unknown amount of time, the frantic beasts began to thin out, and the entire jungle was in a mess. The area around Wuzhai was filled with monster corpses. The monsters that were running towards them saw these corpses and avoided them if they could. The Cangshan disciples gradually restored their formation. Their white clothes were stained red with the blood of the beasts, and they were exhausted. They had almost used up all their darts, and suffered heavy casualties. They had never seen such a scene before, and just as they were about to let go of their fear, they heard Xiao Yuzhen shouting hurriedly, "Retreat!"

Then they heard a harsh "rustling" sound. The disciples didn't know what monster made this sound, but it must be a monster more ferocious than the beasts. Before they could catch their breath, they took Wuzhan and Qin Moyao and ran in the direction where the beasts fled. A "hissing" sound came from behind them. A cool breeze blew and a black shadow covered them. They looked back and trembled with fear. "What is that?" None of them had seen such a terrifying monster. The whole body was like a giant earthworm, segmented and hairless. The skin was dark green and shiny, and it was wriggling. The upright body could be more than ten feet high, like a pillar supporting the sky. There were no eyes, and the mouth was the head. The huge mouth was thicker than the body and could swallow a whole mammoth. It was full of fangs and a pair of tentacles, like a silver snake. Xiao Yuzhen stood in front of it like an ant. It turned out that the beasts were frightened by it and ran away.

Wuzhan exclaimed: "The Earth-Swallowing Beast!" He had seen this in ancient books. It was also recorded in the "Record of Solution to the Array" given by Xingtian. This beast was born at the beginning of chaos, existed in the underworld, slept for a thousand years, was male and female, was a hundred feet long, and it was difficult to distinguish its head from its tail. Its leather armor could regenerate, it could penetrate mountains and into the ground, and devour all living things. It was one of the ancient evil beasts. Once this beast appeared, the earth would be in disaster and all living things would suffer.

The Earth-Swallowing Beast's huge mouth had already opened, and it was bent high, ready to attack, facing the Cangshan disciples who were frightened and running away. Xiao Yuzhen's body was filled with dancing black energy, and several darts were shot out, instantly hitting the Sky-Swallowing Beast's upright long body, "puff puff..." They sank into it like a stone sinking into the sea. The Earth-Swallowing Beast felt pain, and its huge mouth changed direction. It screamed piercingly and smashed vertically towards the tiny Xiao Yuzhen. Xiao Yuzhen's figure flew backwards. With a "bang", the huge mouth hit the ground, smashing out a deep pit more than ten feet wide. The surrounding earth instantly cracked, stirring up rocks and cracked soil, and a strong wind flew around. Xiao Yuzhen's clothes fluttered, and she flew out from the rolling and shooting rocks like a flying swallow chasing the waves. Seeing Xiao Yuzhen escape, the Earth-Swallowing Beast roared furiously, opened its huge mouth like the abyss, stuck to the ground, opened its huge mouth and quickly swallowed Xiao Yuzhen.

The strong wind swept the corpses of monsters, broken wood and rocks on the ground and hit Xiao Yuzhen head-on. At the same time, Xiao Yuzhen felt a huge force attracting her body and pulling it into the huge mouth behind her. If she was sucked in, she would be dead. At the critical moment, Xiao Yuzhen mobilized the true energy in her body, tapped the ground quickly with light feet, and dodged the flying corpses and broken wood. She flew out obliquely like an arrow, getting rid of the attraction of the huge force. Without stopping, she dodged to the side. She was already covered in sweat and her face was pale.

The Earth-Devouring Beast no longer paid any attention to Xiao Yuzhen's tiny figure. It crawled forward with its long body, raised its huge mouth again, and rushed towards the direction where Wuzhan was escaping, hissing and screaming.

At this time, Wuzhan had been taken far away by the Cangshan disciples, but he was still insignificant in front of the Earth-Devouring Beast. Ah Zhu looked back in horror, seeing that the giant mouth was about to catch up. In desperation, she and another disciple carried Wuzhan and fled to the right. With a "bang", the giant mouth hit the ground again, raising gravel, dust, and trees, rolling around. It was unknown how many disciples were killed here.

The Earth-Swallowing Beast raised its head again, roaring continuously, and paused for a moment, as if looking for something. Suddenly, it turned its head to the right in the direction where Wuzhan and others were fleeing, and moved its huge body rustlingly, like a mountain range, quickly chasing after Wuzhan and others. Its huge mouth was already hanging in the air. Ah Zhu and others were already exhausted. If this bite came down, no one would escape death.

At this moment, the Earth-Swallowing Beast trembled all over. Next to its body lying on the ground, Xiao Yuzhen had appeared there at some point. That tiny body was running fast, holding a dagger in her hand. The sword was filled with black air and deeply inserted into the skin of the Earth-Swallowing Beast, leaving long sword marks wherever it went, and disgusting green liquid flowed out, but it healed quickly.

The Earth-Swallowing Beast seemed to be extremely angry, its body twisted with anger, and it wanted to crush Xiao Yuzhen to death. Xiao Yuzhen saw that things were not going well, so she stepped hard on the body of the Earth-Swallowing Beast with her jade feet, and soared into the sky, drawing a curved black line in the air. Her poison had no effect on the giant beast, and she could not cause it any greater harm. In front of such a ferocious beast, she was helpless.

Just as she landed, the other head of the Earth Devourer had already pressed down. Without giving it time to think, Xiao Yuzhen stepped on the ground with both feet at the same time, and her body suddenly jumped up diagonally. With a bang, a strong wind blew behind her. As soon as the giant head landed, it rushed towards the leaping Xiao Yuzhen like a catapult. 'Puff!' Hundreds of black light balls, some large and some small, shot out of the giant mouth like a crossbow. Xiao Yuzhen had already sensed the densely packed objects flying behind her, and it was too late to dodge. She suddenly mobilized her whole body to protect her body and resist the black light balls that were shot at her. 'Bang, bang, bang!' Her unruly body was hit by three light balls in a row and exploded instantly. Her body was like a kite with a broken string, and was knocked away and thrown down. A long line of blood was spit out. She never dreamed that she would encounter such an experience today. As soon as she landed, she felt severe pain all over her body. She slid more than ten feet away and stopped when she hit the body of the unicorn. Her eyes suddenly went black and she fainted.

The Earth-Swallowing Beast turned its giant head around and did not chase Qin Moyao and other disciples. Instead, it rushed towards the direction where Wuzhan had escaped. It had only one target, Wuzhan!
