"HAAA!!!!"


    "BLOCK IT!"


    "NO! NO! THIS CAN''T BE!"


    Various voices could be heard shouting can crying at the scene. One could see at least ten disciples that were wearing the robes of the Long Cloud sect fighting a certain beast that was running around them.


    Then there were at least double the number of disciples dead on the ground. It was hard to tell how many there were exactly since some of them did not haveplete corpses and some were just turned into mush.


    The beast that the disciples were fighting was over three meters tall and looked vicious. Its skin was covered in a darkyer that wiggled like some kind of a fluid, making one''s hair tingle.


    It had three tails like that of a scorpion that had long barbs on the tips, but its body was that of a horse. It had ws like that of a water lizard and the head of a lion. Its fangs were long and looked terrifying.


    There were six bony horns that covered his head that were covered with blood and flesh. It was evident they had been used to gore the disciples several times. The beast''s eyes were bloodied and had square pupils.


    Steam came out of its nose with every breath, and it looked restless.


    <i>~GUO!!!!~</i>


    Its cry was strange and didn''t seem to belong to any animal that was known. It raised its head and cried before charging towards the disciples that were already weakened and filled with injuries.


    Their faces were filled with tears as they watched the beast about to end their life.


    <i>~THUD~</i>


    The first disciple was hit with the horse and directly exploded into a mass of minced meat. But the beast didn''t stop there and continued to charge. The disciples did their best to dodge and a couple did manage to slip away.


    <i>~SHING~ SHING~</i>


    Unfortunately for them, the relief of escape was short lived as two tails came from the back and stabbed through their chests. Vitality drained out from their bodies and they fell down lifelessly.


    <i>~GUO!!!!~</i>


    The beast cried out as if in joy and continued its attack. Another disciple that was a unfortunate and missed a step, fell to the ground. The beast directly stomped onto her and ttened it into the ground like pancake.


    "RUN!!!"


    "I DON''T WANT TO DIE HERE!"


    "ELDERS SAVE US!!!"


    The disciples shouted, but the time was not on their side.


    By now, only five of the disciple were left surviving, and they were still trying to run. They had given up on attacking, as it would take their stamina and they would miss the opportunity to dodge, since the beast basically received no damage from them.


    The small group of unfortunate men and women reached a dead end and were unable to go any further. There was a steep cliff in front of them and trees around them.


    "Quick! Fly!" one of the slightly stronger disciples shouted before taking out a spirit sword and jumping on it.


    Unfortunately, not all of the disciples could fly or were not in the condition to do so. Their spirit Qi had been exhausted and their will broken. Two of them managed to fly away to the side, but three were still left.


    It was two girls and a boy that were left to watch their death approaching.


    "The girls didn''t even have the will to cry and only had still faces as they watched the beast running at them. They were the more weaker ones out of the group and had only survived till now due to either being the farthest or being lucky enough to dodge on time.


    But luck could only support one for so long. Their hope was for the elders toe rescue them, but that would still take some time. They were over a hundred kilometer away from the sect and even Nascent soul realm elders would take ten to fifteen minutes to reach them.


    It had barely taken the beast two minutes to kill half of them and in total, it had not even been five minutes since they encountered the beast. Their time was ticking away with each step that the beast took towards them.


    The fury in the beast''s eyes was terrifying and it looked no less than a monster that had walked out of the depths of hell to them.


    All hope was lost to them and the beast was at a mere meter''s distance when something shocking happened.


    <i>~GUOOOOO!!!~</i>


    The beast cried with thrill, enjoying the feeling of killing the humans. But just as it was about to do what it liked the best, something blocked him.


    <i>~DENG!~</i>


    The beast saw another human appearing in front of him. The human directly took the charge of the beast to his chest as the horns mmed into him.


    <i>~THUD~</i>


    The disciples watched in shock as the man bore the full impact of the attack. They could only imagine him exploding into a rain of flesh or being thrown away. But in the end, neither of things happened.


    A brown illusory armor appeared around him and easily bore the full brunt of the attack.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    <i>~GUO!!!~</i>


    Feeling as if it had been challenged, the beast was furious. It swung its scorpion tails at at the man, but they were quickly caught in his hands. The third tail that could not be caught due to ack of hands was then blocked in a different manner.


    <i>~CLANG~</i>


    The man directly head-butted the barbed tail, snapping its needle like tip and knocking it away to the back.


    <i>~GUGOGOGOGOO!~</i>


    The beast cried in pain as dark red blood dripped from the broken tip.


    The disciples watched as the man saved them from imminent death. His back was tall and his shoulder broad. To them, he was no less than an angel who had descended from the heavens to save them.


    The girl could look at the man''s face from the angle they were standing and were mesmerized by his face, forever burning it into their memories.
