Chapter 1139

Roar……

A heaven-shaking roar rang out, and a strange monster beast gradually emerged from the sand.

Hearing Gai Nie looked over and found this monster beast to be quite peculiar.

In appearance, it looked like a fat, oversized fleshworm.

Only its body was extremely massive.

Even the mechanical Zhu Que, with a wingspan of seven or eight zhang, was nothing more than a tiny bird before it.

The fleshworm's head opened up, much like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.

Ring upon ring of blade-like sharp teeth appeared within that enormous maw.

It lunged and bit savagely at the mechanical Zhu Que.

Its ferocity went without saying, and the air along its path was filled with an endless stench.

Even though they were far away, the gathered martial artists caught that stench.

Those whose cultivation was insufficient all felt the urge to retch.

"What the hell is this thing…"

"Ugh, I'm gonna puke…"

It was hard to tell whether it was the fleshworm monster's appearance that turned one's stomach, or the stench from its enormous maw that was unbearable.

The mechanical Zhu Que, which bore the brunt of the attack, should have been able to nimbly fly away.

But unexpectedly, the mechanical Zhu Que that had previously summoned wind and danced with fire

now hung frozen in midair, not moving at all.

Master Ban, standing atop the sand dune, kept forming hand seals toward the mechanism floating before him.

But at this point, aside from breaking out in a cold sweat from anxiety, his efforts had absolutely no effect.

The mechanical Zhu Que seemed to have lost control entirely.

"Hehe! Old Man Ban, your Zhu Que is done for!"

Tian Hu had been keeping an eye on Master Ban's situation, and seeing him so frantic while the mechanical Zhu Que remained motionless,

he immediately understood that the mechanical Zhu Que was likely about to be written off here.

Crack…

Sure enough, accompanied by a tremendous crash, the fleshworm monster opened that maw full of blade-like teeth and swallowed the mechanical Zhu Que—which had been swaggering moments ago—whole in a single bite.

Then that enormous maw began to writhe violently, like a millstone.

Streams of fresh blood flowed down from its head.

Everyone knew that was the blood of the Despair Guards the mechanical Zhu Que had previously rescued.

It seemed that to unseal this Lu Li tribe, all the Despair Guards that Cheng Jiao had carefully cultivated were now utterly gone.

919 Does it even deserve that?

Watching the fleshworm beast slowly swallow the mechanical Zhu Que into its belly,

more and more fresh blood spilled out, yet none of the gathered martial artists stepped forward.

After the mechanical Zhu Que's very last tail disappeared, the fleshworm beast finally opened its enormous maw wide toward the sand dune,

Roar……

Another roar, this one a show of force.

These people were all outstanding martial artists among the Nine Provinces' martial artists.

Among them, Murong Fu had once been equally renowned with Qinglong Society altar master Qiao Feng.

Jiumozhi was the State Preceptor of Tubo, known as the Great Wheel Bright King of the Great Wheel Temple of Great Snow Mountain!

Hearing Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, two great sword-path geniuses, one Vertical and one Horizontal.

Cheng Jiao had even styled himself 'Zhen', having once been a formidable contender for the throne of Great Qin Huang.

In an instant, all these powerful experts were cowed by the roar of a beast-like fleshworm monster.

"Son of a bitch!"

Tian Hu had been gloating, watching the mechanical Zhu Que gone and Master Ban looking utterly devastated, and he couldn't have felt more pleased.

But seeing the fleshworm beast so brazen and unrestrained, he was the first to lose his patience.

Cursing angrily, he actually drew the Tiger Soul Sword,

"How can we martial artists be mocked by a stupid, clumsy beast?

Everyone who has any guts, follow me and let's take down this beast!"

Though Tian Hu was furious beyond measure, he was also playing a little trick.

He actually used words to provoke the other martial artists, hoping they would charge up together with him.

After all, this fleshworm beast had just swallowed the mechanical Zhu Que in one bite.

One should know that this mechanical Zhu Que had displayed power at least at the Heavenly Being Realm!

Then what level of power should this fleshworm beast possess?

He, Tian Hu, was arrogant, but not stupid!

"Hmph! A mere beast dares act so wildly—count me in."

"Count me in too…"

Seeing Tian Hu's taunting words, sure enough several martial artists couldn't hold back and spoke up willing to step forward.

In truth, most of the martial artists who had come here were driven by Cheng Jiao.

Even Cheng Jiao's Despair Guards had perished here; if they showed no reaction at all,

once this matter was over, going back they'd surely be given a hard time by this manor lord.
