Mortal: Starting on the Yin Island, his physical body defies the starry sea

Chapter 16: Annihilation in an Instant

A female disciple holding a battle flag suddenly felt a warmth on her back. She instinctively turned around and saw a gaping maw full of fangs looming over her.

The black, yin wind protecting her body melted away as quickly as snow in spring when it met the golden light emanating from the owner of the blood-mouthed creature, without causing the slightest hindrance.

The moment the look of terror exploded in the female disciple's eyes, everything went black. A stench mixed with the sweet and pungent smell of rotting flesh rushed into her nostrils, and her consciousness plummeted into an ice cave, instantly sinking into boundless darkness!

"Junior Sister Zhou!"

The female disciple beside her screamed in horror. She watched as a headless corpse, dripping with blood, fell from mid-air. Her face turned ashen, and the hand holding the array flag trembled violently.

"Damn it, it's the Golden-Backed Demon!"

"This is a trap!"

"Stop talking nonsense, run!"

...

Amidst screams of alarm, the crowd finally saw the true form of the monster. Its upright body was covered in radiant golden armor, and dozens of ferocious limbs covered in barbs scraped against the ground with a piercing sound.

The fierce woman had lost all her previous aura. Her hair stood on end, and with a scream, she unleashed all her magical power, driving the yin wind as she fled frantically into the distance.

The other three female disciples didn't react as quickly. The Golden-Backed Demon leaped forward and wrapped his arms around one of them, twisting her numerous sharp, knife-like limbs together.

The female disciple's shrill screams quickly disappeared, leaving only blood and bits of flesh on the ground!

At the same time, the formation was broken, and the old demon roared, shattering the wind threads that had previously bound him.

Then, it shrank its body and transformed into a huge fleshy ball with its surface covered in yellow crystal spikes.

With a "thud," the fleshy ball suddenly sprang out, hitting a female disciple of Xuanhun Peak squarely.

A series of teeth-grinding sounds of bones shattering rang out. The female disciple didn't even have time to scream before she was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily at Luo Qing's feet and turning into a pile of minced meat!

The Earth-Turning Demon glanced at Luo Qing, who was almost frozen in place, then turned and charged at another female disciple of Xuanhun Peak.

It seems that this demon has truly suffered under the Five Yin Soul-Slaying Formation and is determined to kill all these female disciples!

After running a few steps, the Earth-Turning Demon's two front paws flashed with yellow light and pressed into the ground.

Suddenly, a string of spikes shot out from in front of the fleeing female disciple, forcing her to dodge in a panic and turn around to look.

But before she could turn halfway back, the golden-backed old demon suddenly leaped out, clinging to a ground spike. Its pair of venomous fangs pierced the female disciple's exposed neck, causing her to foam at the mouth and lose consciousness.

The next moment, the Earth-Turning Demon caught up from behind, bit the female disciple's right leg, and pulled hard.

The Golden-Backed Demon was naturally unwilling to give up its prey. The flesh and blood of cultivators were a great tonic for them. If they ate too much, there was even a slight possibility that they could break through the limits of their own race!

When two enormous forces pull at the same time, the result is predictable: colorful things are scattered all over the ground.

The two old demons swallowed the corpse in a few bites, then turned their heads at the same time, their scarlet eyes locking onto the fierce woman who had fled the farthest.

Without any communication, the Golden-Backed Demon stepped on the withered grass, its limbs flying as fast as the wind; the Earth-Turning Demon, on the other hand, sank into the ground, leaving only a yellowish-brown trail of air.

The two demons, one on land and one on earth, chased after the woman.

Seeing this, Luo Qing ran away without saying a word.

He's just a one-punch strongman now. He might be able to deal with the Earth-Turning Demon alone, but if the two demons attack at the same time, he has no chance of survival!

Qin Yu and Fu Chang on the other side were also terrified. They turned and fled, no longer daring to hold back their magic power. They used their flying magic artifacts and fled in different directions.

Only Zhao Donglin was unable to break free because he was entangled by the remaining two mid-level ground squirrels.

"You bastards, get back here! You two beasts, I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhao Donglin's eyes were bloodshot. He threw a handful of talismans from his storage bag, and various fireballs and water arrows rained down on him.

Immediately afterwards, he unleashed a powerful Yang Fireball, blasting half of one of the mid-level Groundhogs away.

But just as he was about to cast the spell again, he suddenly felt dizzy due to the massive loss of blood and energy, and his body staggered.

In that brief moment of respite, the last mid-level ground squirrel rushed up to Zhao Dong and bit his right leg.

The sharp teeth of the mid-level ground squirrel can cut through gold and stone. The thin protective aura on Zhao Donglin's body shattered instantly, and his flesh and blood body was obviously not as tough as gold and stone.

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed across the wilderness as Zhao Donglin's entire right leg was severed at the knee, blood gushing out like a fountain.

The sharp pain brought him back to his senses instantly. He saw the ground squirrel raise its barbed claws, about to grab his chest and abdomen, and he instinctively raised his right arm to block.

"Sizzle!"

The claws slashed across Zhao Donglin's right arm like a sharp knife, and the claws, still sharp, cut a deep wound on his chest that exposed the bone. His beating heart almost jumped out of the wound!

But the mole stopped what it was doing, letting Zhao Donglin vomit blood and convulse on the ground, slowly opening its mouth to gnaw on his heart.

"Bang!"

A loud bang was heard, and for some reason, the head of the ground squirrel disappeared completely.

Then Zhao Donglin heard a series of footsteps. He turned his head with difficulty and saw Luo Qing rushing over. A flame of hope ignited in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Sun... I... I have healing pills in my storage bag, please... please save me, I'll give you all the spirit stones I've hidden in my residence... cough cough cough!"

Zhao Donglin, critically injured and on the verge of death, reached out a trembling hand to Luo Qing for help.

"Senior Brother Zhao, go in peace!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Qing stepped on Zhao Donglin's neck.

With a crisp "crack," Zhao Donglin's struggles ceased instantly, the hope in his eyes freezing completely, replaced by endless confusion and resentment.

He never understood why Luo Qing would kill him, even in his death. He could have attracted monsters if he had lived, not to mention that Luo Qing had offered him very good terms.

However, Zhao Donglin did not know that Luo Qing only wanted to survive, and that the two old demons were even more cunning than he had imagined.

Shortly after he began to flee, he discovered that the powerful malevolent aura belonging to the two old demons had dispersed and was chasing after Qin Yu and Fu Chang, who were fleeing even faster.

Luo Qing immediately understood that these two old demons had no intention of letting anyone go; whoever escaped the fastest would be the one they chased.

Since there's no way to escape, it's better to turn back and gather another wave of malevolent energy so that we can fight them to the death later.
