Chapter 73: The Enticing Fragrance of Pure Qi and Blood
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The crimson-hued creature had also caught sight of the disciples from the five major sects!
Remarkably, it exhibited no fear. With swift motions, it gathered the lifeless bodies strewn on the ground, shoving them into its gaping maw as blood sprayed in all directions.
Simultaneously,
The blood-colored beast continued its relentless pursuit, hot on the heels of the seven or eight fleeing disciples!
"Quick!"
"Faster!"
"Senior Brother, save me! I don't want to die!"
"..."
The seven or eight fleeing disciples were petrified, wishing they had sprouted additional limbs to aid their desperate escape!
"Go and provide support!"
"Quick! Halt that monster!"
The disciples of the sects couldn't simply stand idly by as their younger brothers and sisters met their untimely demise.
Immediately,
Several Mysterious Platform realm experts sprang into action.
Boom!
A thunderbolt plummeted from the heavens, striking the crown of the blood-colored humanoid beast without delay.
In an instant,
Sparks erupted, and tendrils of electricity danced about!
"Roar!!"
The blood-colored humanoid monstrosity bellowed in pain as a deep, bone-exposing gash materialized on its head.
However,
In the very next moment,
The flesh and blood on its cranium melded together as though alive, and the wound mended itself in the blink of an eye!
At this time,
Several long-range assaults struck the blood-colored creature's body, including violet ice shards and spells imbued with incredibly potent toxins.
Yet these spells only caused the monster's speed to falter momentarily.
The creature's velocity had already far outpaced the Spiritual Awakening realm, rendering the brief pause insignificant.
It effortlessly caught up to a male disciple, seizing him with one hand!
Rip!
A living Spiritual Awakening realm cultivator, along with the Spiritual Awakening realm defensive artifact he donned, was instantly reduced to a heap of dismembered remains.
"What?!"
"How can this monster, which only emanates a Middle-stage Mysterious Platform aura, possess such strength?!"
"Its regenerative capabilities are absurd! A typical Mysterious Platform realm cultivator would have lost their fighting prowess by now!"
"..."
The cultivators from the five major sects all wore expressions of sheer terror!
Simultaneously!
A flicker of ravenous hunger and thirst emerged in the disordered, savage eyes of the blood-hued creature as it grasped the dismembered corpse from the ground and crammed it into its maw like a famished tiger.
Seizing this opportunity.
Additional Mysterious Platform realm cultivators initiated their assaults, striking the blood-hued creature's body.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The creature unleashed a sorrowful wail of agony as its flesh was ripped asunder, appearing particularly pitiful.
Its forward advance came to a total standstill.
It gnawed on the remains in its jaws.
Crimson blood gushed incessantly, appearing exceedingly vicious.
Witnessing this, some inexperienced female disciples paled, and nearly retched!
'Villain's Eye!'
Jiang Chen directed his Villain's Eye at the blood-hued creature, but there was no response.
It was apparent that this was a purely monstrous entity, not some secondary character.
Or perhaps it was once human, but now it had transformed, and could no longer be considered a supporting character.
Simultaneously.
Ye Fan was also scrutinizing the creature.
'This monster... possesses such abundant qi and blood!'
'The beasts within this Cave Heaven secret realm must have been consumed by this entity!'
'I'm uncertain how this creature came into being. It's neither human nor demon, truly peculiar!'
'However, qi and blood... Haha, my Wordless Heavenly Jade absorbs qi and blood every time I slay someone. If I can vanquish this type of creature, I will undoubtedly reap immense benefits.'
'But for now, the monster's capabilities remain unclear. Let's observe a bit longer.'
'...'
With these thoughts, Ye Fan discreetly withdrew several steps.
Jiang Chen, who had been watching Ye Fan, narrowed his eyes at this development.
'This fellow is exceptionally cautious.'
Jiang Chen contemplated, 'I wonder if he will make a significant impact during this monster assault and stage a spectacular display?'
Just then.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The blood-hued creature bellowed like a madman and fearlessly charged toward the crowd!
"Attack!!"
The chief disciples from the five major sects bellowed in unison, and one after another, the disciples activated their Yuan Power, launching a barrage of attacks.
All at once.
The battlefield was awash with the brilliant light of various spells.
Boom, boom, boom!
Countless assaults struck the blood-colored creature, causing its flesh to scatter and exposing its gruesome skeleton!
Nonetheless.
Although the creature emitted a heart-wrenching roar, it persisted in charging forward, forcing the nearest cultivators to fall back.
Fortunately, despite the monster's high resistance, considerable vitality, and potent regenerative capabilities, it ultimately couldn't withstand multiple adversaries at once.
Under the relentless barrage of numerous spells and artifacts.
Its flesh was incessantly obliterated, and its healing ability could no longer keep pace.
After about a dozen breaths.
Nearly all the flesh on the blood-colored creature had vanished, leaving only a towering, crimson skeleton!
It collapsed to the ground, utterly motionless.
"Is it dead?"
"Good heavens, this creature proved to be quite formidable!"
"We from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain lost five disciples... We never anticipated such a sudden demise!"
"..."
The crowd stared at the blood-hued colossal skeleton sprawled on the ground and heaved a sigh of relief.
Without warning.
An immense and unadulterated surge of qi and blood radiated from the crimson monster's enormous skull, astonishingly accompanied by an alluring aroma!
"What is that scent?!"
"It's so captivating! I feel as if a single inhalation has invigorated my qi and blood, making me more energetic!"
"Undoubtedly, there must be a unique treasure concealed within this monster's cranium!"
"..."
Everyone present caught a whiff of the enchanting fragrance, and their eyes instantly brimmed with desire!
Among them.
The most elated was none other than Ye Fan!
'The Wordless Heavenly Jade is actually displaying a hint of activity!'
'This has never occurred before!'
'Evidently, the treasure concealed within the blood-hued monster's body must be incredibly beneficial for the Wordless Heavenly Jade!'
'If I can acquire it, my strength will undoubtedly increase at a faster pace!'
'...'
A gleeful glimmer emerged in Ye Fan's eyes, and he couldn't help but inch forward.
However, he still restrained himself.
This monster had been vanquished by the Mysterious Platform realm experts from the five major sects, and it had no connection to him, Ye Fan.
If he were to advance and seize the treasure, he would be provoking everyone present.
With his current prowess, handling ordinary Mysterious Platform realm cultivators was not an issue.
But facing more than a dozen or twenty Mysterious Platform realm cultivators from the five major sects collectively was beyond his capability for now.
'Ye Fan appears to be quite intrigued by that enigmatic treasure!'
'It seems that this monster must be one of his crucial opportunities!'
'To usurp his opportunity, we must vie with him for the creature!'
Jiang Chen observed Ye Fan's involuntary motion and promptly formulated some conjectures in his mind.
At that instant.
"It seems this monster is harboring some treasure!"
"Let's extract it and determine its rightful owner!"
The chief disciple of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain advanced and declared, "We from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain are well-versed in dissection. Allow us to handle this."
"Agreed!"
The others consented one after another.
Subsequently, they observed intently as the members of Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain moved forward.
But at that very moment!
"This is bad!"
The expressions of the Mysterious Platform realm experts altered drastically!
"Halt for now!"
"More blood-hued monsters are rapidly approaching!"
"Curse it, there are thirteen of them in total! Some even surpass the size of the one we defeated!"
"Quick! Prepare to endure the onslaught!"
