Amidst the earthshaking and mountains swaying at the Holy Altar, while the State Preceptor protected Emperor Kangwu, the trace of soul consciousness belonging to Qin Liuxi that remained on his body had already been transmitted back.
When Feng Xiu arrived, the mountain had collapsed, debris flew, and the water from the moat surged upwards. The people and officials accompanying the Emperor scread, so being swept away by the surging water, so injured by flying stones, and others buried under collapsing buildings.
Crying and screaming in pain and despair were heard everywhere, a miserable scene.
The ground trembled incessantly. Feng Xiu channeled his demonic power to intercept the flying debris and to push back the surging water, but he did not reveal himself, and the shaking hadn’t ceased, so no one noticed this strange occurrence.
He suddenly appeared before the Chi Wen, which had grown increasingly fierce from incessantly absorbing resentful energy and fresh resentful souls. Feeling threatened, the auspicious beast opened its giant mouth, but no, etched with evil runes, the auspicious beast had long turned into an evil beast.
Fiendish energy roared towards him, as the malevolent aura seed like sharp knives, each one intent on taking life.
Feng Xiu swung his large tail, saying, "Laozi gave you face."
Chi Wen got a hard slap, growing even more furious. It opened its massive mouth with a mighty roar, as though it could swallow mountains and rivers, instantly stirring clouds and winds. A water tornado ford from the river, rolling towards the Holy Altar.
Wherever the water tornado passed, people were lifted into the sky, only to fall heavily, smashed to pieces.
This scene caused further terror, with people constantly dodging and falling.
Enraged, Feng Xiu snapped his fingers at the water tornado. His demonic power seed to transform into fine sand, colliding and covering the tornado, dispersing it as water crashed down from the sky, sweeping away a dozen people.
Cries for help abounded, with people wailing for parents and calling for mothers.
Feng Xiu at this point had already taken out the talisman given by Qin Liuxi, pressing it onto the evil beast.
The evil beast paused, but the talisman soon ignited spontaneously, the Spirit Talisman not completely suppressing it. Instead, the beast’s viciousness flared, intensifying the tremors and increasing casualties, with unending streams of resentful energy and souls converging on it.
Feng Xiu was sowhat surprised, wasn’t the Little Evil God’s Blood Talisman working?
At this mont, Qin Liuxi suddenly appeared. Facing the evil beast, her eyes lit up, and she swiftly summoned the Divine Weapon Mieluo, twirling a flourish with the sword, slashing towards the city’s evil beast.
"You go rescue people, I’ll handle this."
Hearing this, Feng Xiu leapt into the Void without a second thought. His Divine Sense divided and probed, lifting people from the water, uncovering structures and earth burying them.
Qin Liuxi, with the Divine Weapon in hand, directly sliced open the head of the evil beast, fiercely slashing a few marks across the evil runes on the beast’s body.
The survivors heard a tragic roar, instinctively looking towards the sound, seeing only a massive black silhouette rising into the sky. Before the silhouette, a figure in a green dress wielded a sword, leaping tiptoe upwards into the air.
"What is that?"
"Is it so sort of demon or ghost?"
The ominous black silhouette was cleaved open, as if absorbed by sothing, no longer resembling a beast’s shadow.
What they did not know was that Mieluo had absorbed all the malevolent energy, making the sword’s blade darker and more crimson, able to cut through iron like mud.
The evil beast was slain, and the tremors on the ground soon ceased.
Qin Liuxi examined the Stone Beast fragnts, eyes narrowing, he’s been here.
Her Divine Sense reached outward, yet she detected no trace of Si Luo’s presence, prompting her to snort coldly, retracting her sense, and approaching Feng Xiu.
"Did you get everyone out?"
Feng Xiu said, "Brought out those buried and in the water, none completely buried, but for the injured, whether they survive is uncertain."
"No need to worry about them, let the physicians from Changsheng Hall help with treatnt when we return, use dicines freely, and whether they survive depends on fate. We can’t ensure everyone’s rescue, but we can stifle this earthquake to prevent larger casualties."
Feng Xiu said, "These Stone Beasts aren’t just in the deep forests; they might appear as guardian objects in buildings or as Array Eyes for Arrays. This can trigger earthquakes or mountain floods, natural disasters beyond human control. By the way, I destroyed a few earlier with a Blood Talisman, but not this one? Did your Spirit Talisman have an expiration?"
"He personally empowered this one, the Stone Beast has his aura."
Feng Xiu’s face darkened: "Is unleashing these sinister man-eating things not enough for him? To even empower them, does he intend for the old Emperor to die or what?"
