Chapter 191: The Surge of Evil Monsters (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Gurgle-gurgle~"

"Chee-chee-chee!"

"Sss-hah sss-hah..."

The groups of evil things made all sorts of noisy sounds. Their forms were extremely diverse and bizarre; some had three hands and chrysanthemum-shaped heads, some had spiral mouths and protruding ribs, and others were simply cubes with human faces on all six sides.

Yet without exception, they were all massive, with an average height and length exceeding two zhang. Their evil ferocity was enough to rival the top-tier elites at the perfection of Foundation Establishment. In terms of numbers, they were countless at a single glance, and even more individuals were crawling out from the split-open underground palace—for a moment, there was no end in sight!

Once they finished their clamor, they suddenly fell silent, then turned their heads in unison to look in the same direction.

Drip!

Slurp!

Hiss-hah!

An intense, greedy salivation instantly infected the entire group. Then, they began to move, surging toward that side like a tidal wave, spreading like dark clouds.

Wherever they passed, buildings were completely destroyed.

The reason they did not split up or even hesitate was that, at this very moment, the locations of the two targets overlapped perfectly.

That's right, if the High Envoy wanted to avoid being hindered by these evil things as much as possible, there was actually a very good method: "move" along with the swarm of evil things!

Originally, he had intended to rush toward Meng Changqing's side to kill him and disrupt the other party's preparations once he finished his quick rest. Now that the situation had changed, he could just bring along the evil things that were also eyeing him, thereby minimizing the impact of this matter.

"They're here. Let's move."

Back when the tide of evil things first began to spread, the High Envoy had already sensed the situation.

He issued the order, strolled along composedly, and raised his hand to launch a strike from afar toward the ruined garden ahead.

The armored soldiers followed in silence, either on the ground or in the air, like silent ghosts, yet they wore eye-catching silver armor, creating an abrupt contrast.

Tang Yiping, mixed in among them, felt out of place at this moment and appeared visibly anxious and restless.

However, compared to before, his goal was more resolute.

Because of Du En!

Originally, he thought his actions were supported by only two reasons—those two senior peers—but now it seemed there was actually a third hidden one.

Du En, this junior who had a "blood feud" with him and was rising rapidly!

Looking at the current situation, pinning his hopes on others or other things to take Du En's life might be a delusional fantasy. Even if the High Envoy remained composed and felt his success was a matter of course, maintaining the same posture from beginning to end, Tang Yiping couldn't help but feel this way.

Because it was too fast!

How long had it been, damn it? How was that brat already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment? And his mana was vigorous, his divine sense was outstanding, and he could freely drive and control that Hundred-Control Art?

He had clearly been locked in the forbidden prison for a period of time, yet in the end, it hadn't delayed his cultivation progress at all. As soon as he left that place, he immediately started soaring again!

He didn't even dare to imagine now whether the other party would already be at the perfection of Foundation Establishment the next time they met.

And then the early stage of Golden Core, and then—no, there was no need for "and then." The other side's early Golden Core stage should be enough to crush him, because he had a very clear self-awareness of his own second-rate combat ability!

Therefore, to avoid this disastrous situation, there was only one way: eliminate this junior who made him feel panicked and terrified before that happened!

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel some regret. He regretted that it had originally been just a matter of minor misunderstandings and grievances. If he had been a little more tolerant, communicated properly, and cleared things up instead of being so stubborn, and then subsequently developed the intent to cut down the weeds and dig up the roots until things spiraled out of control, it wouldn't be like this now!

Moreover, if their relationship had been amicable, he would have paid close attention to the warning Du En issued earlier, and wouldn't have been caught off guard only when the evil cultivators attacked the city, leading to Gao Feng seizing the opportunity and him falling into a passive position from then on...

In short, now he could only choose to continue to stake everything on one throw; there was no turning back.

"Sigh~"

A sigh escaped Tang Yiping's heart, followed immediately by a shiver.

Because he was at a high altitude, he turned his head and saw the tidal wave of evil things flooding over, excited and agitated, drool flying everywhere, howling—they were completely a group of frenzied, insane monsters.

The integration of evil cultivators and evil things, combined with the actual manifestation and influence of resentment, had turned them into this final form. They were simply monstrous, evil beasts; calling them "evil monsters" was not an exaggeration at all.

Watching them surge over like a tide and feeling the heavy evil nature staining the darkness, even Tang Yiping, at the mid-stage of Golden Core, felt his scalp tingle.

Just as he was about to turn and remind the High Envoy, the strike from that side broke through various obstructions and landed precisely on the Bagua Tower, which was out of sight.

Boom!

Various methods of isolation and concealment were directly shattered, leaving cracks.

Now, Du En, the primary target, was completely exposed.

In an instant, the frenzy of evil monsters rioted, and even the brood mother couldn't help but shift.

Because spawning so many evil monsters left it in urgent need of replenishment; it needed to feed.

Du En was the best food!

Eat him!

Eat, eat, eat!

The crazed, rioting evil monsters accelerated, and some scattered individuals even crossed several hundred zhang in a single leap, pouncing into the formation of armored soldiers.

Although the main target was Du En, these people were also fresh morsels, so they didn't care about anything else; they opened their various bizarre, large mouths and bit down directly.

Naturally, this triggered a counterattack.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

At the same time, they accelerated their movement toward Du En's side.

Over here, they looked as if they hadn't had time to relocate before being tracked down, appearing quite panicked.

Meng Changqing was somewhat helpless and hurriedly said, "I am going to cast a spell to provide concealment to avoid those evil things and the resentment, and this will inevitably be a process that takes effect gradually. After all, that guy is still interfering from a distance, so I have no time to attend to anything else."

"Therefore, your movements need to be fast—fast, fast, fast!"

Because the evil monsters had already appeared at the edge of his vision, and the High Envoy was closing in at high speed, he could only speak abruptly and urgently at the end, appearing exceptionally hurried and chaotic.

However, there was already a preliminary plan in place, so Du En didn't say a word, surged up to fly, and began to use his power in a suicidal manner.

The guards performed their duties, surrounding Meng Changqing, who had begun casting the spell, like a shuttle, following closely behind Du En.

Located at the rear was Fu Yong; he and several dozen people formed a formation facing backward, acting as the rearguard group.

The overall division of labor was very clear, and their movements were quite fast; even in their haste, they did not lose their true colors.

The Envoy watching from afar was not surprised at all; if anything, he vaguely felt their movements were a bit slow, and with a thought, he immediately decided to adjust his strategy.

Thus, he raised his finger and pointed from afar toward Du En's side.
