In the blink of an eye, several sacrificial pawns were blasted to death by Lin Tang. The remaining mbers were having none of it. Shrieking in terror, they scattered in all directions, their will to fight completely gone.
"Don't run! Co back!" the leader warned hoarsely. "Only by uniting our strength do we have a sliver of hope! Fleeing like this will only lead to total annihilation!"
But they turned a deaf ear and continued to flee. The leader was furious. Like a wolf pouncing on a flock of sheep, he suddenly rushed into the midst of Hua Fengchen and the other "visitors." Most of these visitors were ordinary people. Although they could see the situation was dire and were also trying to flee, they were far too slow, no different from snails or tortoises. The mont the leader reached them, he unhesitatingly unleashed his blood-energy plunder!
POP! POP! POP! POP! POP!
Like overripe waterlons, they burst open one after another, their essence greedily absorbed by him.
"No!"
"Spare us!"
Hua Fengchen and the others wailed and scread, scared witless. The leader showed no disgust, gladly absorbing it all.
"Damn it!"
"If we had known it would co to this, we never would have co!"
Hua Fengchen and his group were sick with regret, their faces ashen with terror. They were completely unable to resist, forced to watch helplessly as their companions exploded one by one.
"Long Tianji, since we're also from Central Earth, please, save us!" Hua Tianxiong suddenly turned and rushed back toward Lin Tang, pleading desperately.
Panicked, Hua Fengchen saw it as his last lifeline and scrambled after his father. "Long Tianji, I'm Shen Youling's classmate! Her good friend! For her sake, I'm begging you, protect !"
The others, whether from Central Earth or foreign lands, quickly followed suit. Compared to the horrifying skeletal monsters, Long Tianji seed far more reliable.
"Tch—"
Lin Tang sneered, not bothering to spare them a second glance. He had already scanned the "gifts" these people had left in the containers at the foot of the mountain with his Divine Sense and discovered they were all innocent people. These despicable human traffickers were willing to offer their own kind as a delicacy to Skull Holy Mountain just to join its ranks. They had fallen beneath the baseline of human decency. They were a pack of monsters in human skin; how were they any different from the mbers of Skull Holy Mountain?
Thus, aside from the few reporters he had consciously shielded, he ignored all the others completely.
"Long Tianji, you're so heartless! We're your compatriots!"
"Long Tianji, I hate you! I'll haunt you as a ghost!"
In a final burst of bitter, resentful rage, Hua Tianxiong and his son, Hua Fengchen, exploded simultaneously. They were dead beyond any doubt.
The others soon shared their fate, becoming sustenance for the leader.
"Not enough! Not enough! It's still not enough!" The leader felt the power surging within him again, yet he knew it was still insufficient to challenge Lin Tang. So, he pounced on the remaining mbers of Skull Holy Mountain.
"Damn it! I already gave you most of my flesh and blood for free, why are you coming back for more? You want to devour every last scrap of my bones? This is too much!"
"Jims, have you gone mad?"
"Ah, you're ruthless!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
And so, before Lin Tang could even finish hunting them down, the mbers of Skull Holy Mountain began to turn on one another, slaughtering each other as they fled.
"Heh—"
Seeing this, Lin Tang simply stopped and watched with amusent.
In the end, the leader, a man nad Jims, succeeded in killing all of his comrades. All of their flesh and blood beca his. His body swelled to a height of over fifty ters, making Lin Tang look like a re ant beneath his gaze.
"GEGEGE—" Jims cackled strangely. "Long Tianji, your biggest mistake was being too arrogant, allowing to devour them and grow stronger. Now, it's your turn to die!"
"Is that so?" Lin Tang said calmly. "You think I couldn't see that the chaotic, impure power you just absorbed has left your foundation completely unstable? You're nothing but a pile of loose sand."
"Hmph! Still talking tough when you're about to die? Then let this 'pile of loose sand' be the one to destroy you!"
Jims's figure abruptly shrank as he compressed all his power again and again. With a final lunge, he locked Lin Tang in a vicious bear hug.
Well then, I might as well let you witness the martial essence I comprehended after breaking through to the Martial Saint realm...
Seeing such a perfect punching bag before him, Lin Tang's interest was piqued. Previously, he had primarily used True Qi, supplented by his physical power. This ti, he reversed the two, making his raw physical power the primary force. His iron-hard fists, filled with martial will, were unleashed. A powerful, masculine aura, as if forged in raging fire, materialized above his head with heaven-shattering montum!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The two figures collided violently, separated, and then clashed again. They fought until the world itself seed to darken and the sun and moon faded from view. The entire colossal skull mountain trembled and began to crumble.
It had to be admitted: Jims's destructive power was even more terrifying than what the Skull King had displayed. Why was this? The Skull King had been a solitary opponent, and his ambush on Lin Tang had been a confrontation on the spiritual level. Jims, however, had devoured the blood and life force of most of Skull Holy Mountain's mbers; his fight with Lin Tang was a brutal, physical clash. In other words, Lin Tang wasn't fighting a single person right now. He was locked in a life-or-death struggle against a composite being, an amalgam of many people!
Finally, Skull Holy Mountain collapsed completely. A gentle force had already moved the few surviving reporters to the foot of the mountain just monts before, saving them from the devastation.
They stood there, petrified and utterly shocked. They had never imagined that human strength could reach such a level, enough to obliterate an entire mountain! It was unbelievable!
"Who's going to win?"
"I don't know..."
"We have to pray that Central Earth's State Preceptor, Long Tianji, is the one who wins. Otherwise, we're..."
