nAt this very moment…
nGao Tianlang and the group were at the critical stage of their negotiation.
nSuddenly…
nA shocking aura rose to the sky.
n“Be careful!”
nGao Tianlang and the group turned vigilant immediately.
nBang!
nThere was a deafening sound.
nA flagpole dropped from the sky and landed at the center of the cemetery, in the middle of the grave, emanating a sinister and chilling aura.
n“Who is that?!”
nEveryone’s expression changed slightly.
nHowever…
nThere was pin-drop silence surrounding the place.
nThere was nobody, no living creature and no movements.
nIt was peaceful everywhere.
nEveryone had a puzzled look on their faces.
nWhat the hell was that?
nSuddenly, a flag dropped here and then nothing happened afterward?
nBang!
nZhou Yang lounged his spear at it.
nThe bullet perforated that flag but the latter did not seem affected.
nOh.
nIt was not an entity.
nIt was formed by energy condensation.
n“Someone is deliberately being mysterious and playing tricks!”
nZhou Yang sneered.
nAt this very moment…
nAt a place not faraway, Lu Ming was also dumbstruck.
nThere was nothing more?
nThat’s it?
nSeemingly, the Burial Mound Card did not have a lot of effect?!
nWhoosh…
nCold winds flew past.
nA group of four-star cultivators was looking around warily. Still, there was no change to the cemetery. Only a group of cultivators was on their guard and staring at one another.
n“Don’t challenge my last straw,” Zhou Yang said nonchalantly. “I’ve said before. Regardless of who gets this spirit body, I will give you at least fifty percent of the reward. I won’t let you make a wasted trip.”
nThis was what they had agreed upon.
nOf course, it would be good not to share the gain.
nHowever…
nHow could it be easy to face a fight with these four-star cultivators?!
nThey were all very smart.
nSometimes, they would rather share than to fight and kill!
nAfter all, if they engaged in a fight, they would have to consume a lot of cards and also face intense attacks from the enemy. It was already not easy to deal with this, much less the repercussions this entailed.
nIt was too troublesome.
nWhat about sharing?
nIt was akin to getting it for free!
nOf course.
nIf the item was too valuable and precious, they could only snatch it.
nThankfully…
nThis was just a goldfish.
n“Understood.”
nThese cultivators clarified that they did not attack silently.
n“I hope so.”
nZhou Yang swept an imperceptible gaze across the surroundings. “This is my last warning. If you dare to mess around again, I might as well fight you. I don’t mind clearing the place with Gao Tianlang first before competing with him. All of you can see for yourself whether this goldfish will land in your hands!”
nAfter a round of warning.
nThey continued to negotiate.
nAfter a long time, Gao Tianlang and Zhou Yang finally came to a compromise.
nSix thousand million yuan. Zhou Yang would give up!
n“Why do you have to do this?”
nZhou Yang did not understand.
n“I need it for the legacy competition,” Gao Tianlang said coldly.
nOf course.
nHe did not reveal certain things.
nFor example…
nMost probably, this spirit body was not just a simple goldfish!
n“Alright,”
nZhou Yang nodded slightly, accepting the deal. The cultivators around them looked at one another. They did not make any objections either. This was already the best outcome.
nSix thousand million yuan…
nThey could gain a lot too!
n“Xiaoqing, put away the goldfish,”
nGao Tianlang instructed. “The rest of you, give me your bank account number. I will transfer the money to you.”
n“Yes.”
nXiaoqing moved forward.
nHowever…
nAt this moment.
nThe ground suddenly began to shake slightly.
nEh?
nEveryone was on their guard.
nNaturally, they would not fail to notice this given their current capabilities.
n“There is someone else?”
nGao Tianlang’s gaze turned colder.
nHehe.
nSomeone actually wanted to be the oriole?
nNaive!
nIf he were to make a move now, he would have to be at odds with everyone here!
nWho would dare to?!
nThey would not be afraid of even a five-star cultivator!
nBang!
nBang!
nThe ground was shaking more violently. Gradually, they turned into loud, booming sounds.
nIt was only until this moment that they realized that something was amiss.
nThese sounds…
n“It’s from that side.”
nSomeone focused their gaze and cast their glance out of the city. His gaze seemingly landed on a group of ferocious beasts charging towards them. Judging from the looks of it…
nHerds of bulls?!
n“Herds of bulls are charging towards us from that side.”
nHe was dumbstruck.
nWhat was happening?
nCollective animal behavior?
nAttacking the city?
n“Bulls?”
nThe rest of the people were also dumbfounded.
nWhat a mess!
nIt was late at night. How could the bulls in the wilderness come running towards this place?
nA few cultivators deliberately flipped over the walls of the cemetery and looked outside. Their countenances instantly changed. Meeting their eyes were endless streams of ferocious beasts charging towards them!
nThey could not see very clearly in the dark but they could tell the profile of the ferocious beasts.
nBulls!
nThey were really bulls!
n“Not good.”
n“Countless bulls are heading towards us!”
nTheir expressions were ugly.
n“What’s there to be scared of?!”
nZhou Yang hollered coldly.
nThey had cultivated until this level. What else had they not seen?
nThey were not even afraid of the corpses crawling out from the graves. Why would they be scared of the bulls? Judging from this, it should be one of the tricks of a Summoner. They would just kill them!
n“I heard that, some time back, someone summoned the bulls in Qing Ming City and destroyed the old town,” someone said slowly.
n“In that case…”
nEveryone seemed to have some recollection of the news.
nOh.
nThey happened to watch the news after dinner that day…
nAccording to sources, someone could summon an astronomical number of bulls and the effect was astonishing. Everywhere the bulls set foot on ended up in shambles. Never did they expect that they would encounter that in this place!
n“We’ll just kill them!”
nGao Tianlang’s murderous intent was obvious.
nBulls.
nQing Ming City!
nHe was deeply upset at these words.
nAt the thought of this, he glanced at his sister. Sure enough, her face was ghastly pale.
n“Prepare to fight!”
nThere was a glint on the sword in his hands.
nHe did not intend to fight this alone.
nAccording to rumors…
nThat Bull Demon King was also a four-star and above cultivator. Furthermore, the other party had planned and schemed for so long. It was not necessary for him to fight it alone!
nShush!
nShush!
nA group of people had finished their preparations.
nBuzz—
nThere were constant booming noises.
nBang!
nThe walls around the cemetery suddenly collapsed.
nThe dark colors in the sky nearby disappeared.
nAt this very moment, they finally saw the so-called bulls clearly. These fierce and raging bulls were of varying body sizes and shapes. Each of them actually looked different!
nJudging from their looks, they did not belong to the same clan!
nFurthermore…
nBang!
nThere was a deafening sound.
nOne powerful warrior blocked the impact of one raging bull using brute force!
nHowever…
nThat raging bull did not disappear. Instead, it roared loudly and continued to charge forward.
n“Wait a minute…
nThese raging bulls can’t be dissipated into energy!”
nSomeone was trembling with fear. “These are real bulls!”
nWhat?
nEveryone’s expressions changed drastically.
nReal bulls?!
nBang!
nBang!
nThe earth roared.
nAfter killing a batch of them, the number of raging bulls did not seem to have decreased. Behind those raging bulls, a group of stronger and more powerful ferocious beasts emerged.
nSanguine bulls!
nThree-star peak!
nHundreds and thousands of them were charging towards them!
nAdditionally, there were other clans of ferocious bull-like beasts among them.
n??!
nThe faces of all the cultivators turned pale.
nThese numbers…
nDamn!
nDid you ask all the bulls in Qing Ming City to come here?!
nBang!
nBang!
nJust the impact of the numbers alone…
nThese powerful four-star warriors could not hold on any longer.
nPutting aside the abilities, weren’t there too many bulls? If they were to forcefully take them on, they would be dead meat!
nBuzz—
nGolden lights flashed.
nThe goldfish grabbed the opportunity to escape. He did a carp skip-up, traversed the bulls and disappeared along the skyline. Everyone was anxious but no one dared to chase after it!
n“It has escaped.”
nSomeone was anxious.
n“Let’s survive first before we talk!”
nGao Tianlang hollered furiously.
nThey would be looking for death if they were to get out of here now!
nSeeing the charging bulls becoming increasingly horrifying, the group of four-star cultivators could only retreat at a lightning speed. They were rampantly releasing their trump cards. No one dared to fall behind.
nAt this juncture, whoever was slow would die!
nHowever…
nAs the situation was too chaotic and they were very powerful, the aura was even more appalling when they showed their trump cards. Various kinds of horrifying auras constantly radiated. Only Gao Xiaoqing, who was at the three-star level, was adversely impacted. Surrounded by the erratic aura, the energy in her body was too slow to condense and this actually resulted in a disruption of the energy flow.
nWhat should she do?
nGao Xiaoqing was frantic.
n“Brother!”
nLooking at the rampaging bulls, her legs felt a little wobbly.
n“Use that card!”
nGao Tianlang hollered furiously.
n“Card…”
nGao Xiaoqing took out that card.
nHowever…
nJust at that moment, she hesitated.
nShe knew how precious this card was and how much effort her brother had put in to prepare this card for her. They were preparing to use it during the Lunar Shadow legacy!
nThey should not use it here!
nThey should not cast it on these bulls who were only at the three-star level!
nIt would be too wasteful!
nAt the thought of this…
nShe gritted her teeth and looked at the bulls charging towards her.
nThree-star…
nThree-star…
nShe could try to block them.
nShush!
nShe used all her energy and condensed a huge and powerful Defense Array.
nBuzz—
nFlorescent lights shone in the surroundings.
nBang!
nThe bulls were charging over.
nClick!
nThere was a crisp and clear sound.
nThe Defense Array broke under the impact of the bulls’ charging. The rampaging sanguine bulls collided with Gao Xiaoqing and knocked her down. The surrounding bulls trampled her as they continued to charge forward.
n“Xiaoqing!!!”
nGao Tianlang hollered furiously.
nBang!
nA horrifying glow condensed.
nA ray of powerful sword gleam emanated from the Gao Tianlang’s hands. Its splendor was unsurmountable.
nBang!
nThe sword gleam dropped.
nAll the sanguine bulls who touched it were torn alive!
nSwoosh!
nGao Tianlang dashed into the bulls, carried his sister and skimmed back to his original spot.
nBang!
nBang!
nThe bulls were charging rampantly.
nThe horrifying bulls charged to the center of the cemetery. They only stopped when they arrived at the flagpole. Each of them surrounded and circled the flagpole, seemingly performing some strange ceremony.
nIt was only at this moment did they realize the function of this flagpole!
nIt was actually….
nused to summon the bulls!
nThis was hateful!
nIf they had known this earlier, they could have dodged the attack by distancing themselves from it?!
nBut now?
nThey had lost everything!
nEveryone stared at the cemetery blankly.
nThere was nothing more.
nAll was lost.
nThe goldfish had already escaped amidst the earlier chaos.
nThe entire cemetery had been destroyed and there were only endless bulls left!
nT-this… What was this?
n“Brother.”
nGao Xiaoqing was in a daze.
nHer entire body hurt and her long dress was filled with hoof prints.
nRight then…
nShe seemed to be recalling the scene that day whereby countless bulls rampaged and charged across…
n
