At this very moment...
Gao Tianlang and the group were at the critical stage of their negotiation.
Suddenly...
A shocking aura rose to the sky.
“Be careful!”
Gao Tianlang and the group turned vigilant immediately.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
A 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.
“Who is that?!”
Everyone’s expression changed slightly.
However...
There was pin-drop silence surrounding the place.
There was nobody, no living creature and no movements.
It was peaceful everywhere.
Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces.
What the hell was that?
Suddenly, a flag dropped here and then nothing happened afterward?
Bang!
Zhou Yang lounged his spear at it.
The bullet perforated that flag but the latter did not seem affected.
Oh.
It was not an entity.
It was formed by energy condensation.
“Someone is deliberately being mysterious and playing tricks!”
Zhou Yang sneered.
At this very moment...
At a place not faraway, Lu Ming was also dumbstruck.
There was nothing more?
That’s it?
Seemingly, the Burial Mound Card did not have a lot of effect?!
Whoosh...
Cold winds flew past.
A 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.
“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.”
This was what they had agreed upon.
Of course, it would be good not to share the gain.
However...
How could it be easy to face a fight with these four-star cultivators?!
They were all very smart.
Sometimes, they would rather share than to fight and kill!
After 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.
It was too troublesome.
What about sharing?
It was akin to getting it for free!
Of course.
If the item was too valuable and precious, they could only snatch it.
Thankfully...
This was just a goldfish.
“Understood.”
These cultivators clarified that they did not attack silently.
“I hope so.”
Zhou 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!”
After a round of warning.
They continued to negotiate.
After a long time, Gao Tianlang and Zhou Yang finally came to a compromise.
Six thousand million yuan. Zhou Yang would give up!
“Why do you have to do this?”
Zhou Yang did not understand.
“I need it for the legacy competition,” Gao Tianlang said coldly.
Of course.
He did not reveal certain things.
For example...
Most probably, this spirit body was not just a simple goldfish!
“Alright,”
Zhou 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.
Six thousand million yuan...
They could gain a lot too!
“Xiaoqing, put away the goldfish,”
Gao Tianlang instructed. “The rest of you, give me your bank account number. I will transfer the money to you.”
“Yes.”
Xiaoqing moved forward.
However...
At this moment.
The ground suddenly began to shake slightly.
Eh?
Everyone was on their guard.
Naturally, they would not fail to notice this given their current capabilities.
“There is someone else?”
Gao Tianlang’s gaze turned colder.
Hehe.
Someone actually wanted to be the oriole?
Naive!
If he were to make a move now, he would have to be at odds with everyone here!
Who would dare to?!
They would not be afraid of even a five-star cultivator!
Bang!
Bang!
The ground was shaking more violently. Gradually, they turned into loud, booming sounds.
It was only until this moment that they realized that something was amiss.
These sounds...
“It’s from that side.”
Someone 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...
Herds of bulls?!
“Herds of bulls are charging towards us from that side.”
He was dumbstruck.
What was happening?
Collective animal behavior?
Attacking the city?
“Bulls?”
The rest of the people were also dumbfounded.
What a mess!
It was late at night. How could the bulls in the wilderness come running towards this place?
A 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!
They could not see very clearly in the dark but they could tell the profile of the ferocious beasts.
Bulls!
They were really bulls!
“Not good.”
“Countless bulls are heading towards us!”
Their expressions were ugly.
“What’s there to be scared of?!”
Zhou Yang hollered coldly.
They had cultivated until this level. What else had they not seen?
They 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!
“I heard that, some time back, someone summoned the bulls in Qing Ming City and destroyed the old town,” someone said slowly.
“In that case...”
Everyone seemed to have some recollection of the news.
Oh.
They happened to watch the news after dinner that day...
According 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!
“We’ll just kill them!”
Gao Tianlang’s murderous intent was obvious.
Bulls.
Qing Ming City!
He was deeply upset at these words.
At the thought of this, he glanced at his sister. Sure enough, her face was ghastly pale.
“Prepare to fight!”
There was a glint on the sword in his hands.
He did not intend to fight this alone.
According to rumors...
That 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!
Shush!
Shush!
A group of people had finished their preparations.
Buzz—
There were constant booming noises.
Bang!
The walls around the cemetery suddenly collapsed.
The dark colors in the sky nearby disappeared.
At 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!
Judging from their looks, they did not belong to the same clan!
Furthermore...
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
One powerful warrior blocked the impact of one raging bull using brute force!
However...
That raging bull did not disappear. Instead, it roared loudly and continued to charge forward.
“Wait a minute...
These raging bulls can’t be dissipated into energy!”
Someone was trembling with fear. “These are real bulls!”
What?
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
Real bulls?!
Bang!
Bang!
The earth roared.
After 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.
Sanguine bulls!
Three-star peak!
Hundreds and thousands of them were charging towards them!
Additionally, there were other clans of ferocious bull-like beasts among them.
??!
The faces of all the cultivators turned pale.
These numbers...
Damn!
Did you ask all the bulls in Qing Ming City to come here?!
Bang!
Bang!
Just the impact of the numbers alone...
These powerful four-star warriors could not hold on any longer.
Putting aside the abilities, weren’t there too many bulls? If they were to forcefully take them on, they would be dead meat!
Buzz—
Golden lights flashed.
The 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!
“It has escaped.”
Someone was anxious.
“Let’s survive first before we talk!”
Gao Tianlang hollered furiously.
They would be looking for death if they were to get out of here now!
Seeing 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.
At this juncture, whoever was slow would die!
However...
As 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.
What should she do?
Gao Xiaoqing was frantic.
“Brother!”
Looking at the rampaging bulls, her legs felt a little wobbly.
“Use that card!”
Gao Tianlang hollered furiously.
“Card...”
Gao Xiaoqing took out that card.
However...
Just at that moment, she hesitated.
She 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!
They should not use it here!
They should not cast it on these bulls who were only at the three-star level!
It would be too wasteful!
At the thought of this...
She gritted her teeth and looked at the bulls charging towards her.
Three-star...
Three-star...
She could try to block them.
Shush!
She used all her energy and condensed a huge and powerful Defense Array.
Buzz—
Florescent lights shone in the surroundings.
Bang!
The bulls were charging over.
Click!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
The 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.
“Xiaoqing!!!”
Gao Tianlang hollered furiously.
Bang!
A horrifying glow condensed.
A ray of powerful sword gleam emanated from the Gao Tianlang’s hands. Its splendor was unsurmountable.
Bang!
The sword gleam dropped.
All the sanguine bulls who touched it were torn alive!
Swoosh!
Gao Tianlang dashed into the bulls, carried his sister and skimmed back to his original spot.
Bang!
Bang!
The bulls were charging rampantly.
The 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.
It was only at this moment did they realize the function of this flagpole!
It was actually....
used to summon the bulls!
This was hateful!
If they had known this earlier, they could have dodged the attack by distancing themselves from it?!
But now?
They had lost everything!
Everyone stared at the cemetery blankly.
There was nothing more.
All was lost.
The goldfish had already escaped amidst the earlier chaos.
The entire cemetery had been destroyed and there were only endless bulls left!
T-this... What was this?
“Brother.”
Gao Xiaoqing was in a daze.
Her entire body hurt and her long dress was filled with hoof prints.
Right then...
She seemed to be recalling the scene that day whereby countless bulls rampaged and charged across...
