They had seen Walking Corpses and Iron Corpses, encountered mountain demons and Water Demons, seen cultivators undergo Corpse Transformation and Demonization, but had never seen such oddly shaped, as if pieced together from random limbs, these kinds of “Demon Monsters.”
All the half-human, half-fish Demon Monsters had cold, blood-red gazes, watching Mo Hua and the others—the only few living beings in the vast Taoist Field.
Suddenly, a hissing sound like the whimpering of a Water Demon arose, and these Demon Monsters, whether with human heads and fish tails or human legs and fish heads, charged at Mo Hua and the others in a frenzy.
Demonic Qi charged the heavens, and killing intent surged.
Gu An’s face was as stern as water as he said solemnly, “Protect the young master!”
Everyone positioned themselves in front of Mo Hua, blades shining like a curtain, battling the approaching Demon Monsters.
These Demon Monsters had terrifying shapes. Individually, their strength was not considered strong, but they were recklessly fearless.
If you cut off a thigh, they’d crawl on the ground; if you severed an arm, they’d use their teeth to bite; if you lopped off a head, they’d still struggle bizarrely.
In some sense, they were similar to “Walking Corpses” in that injuring them was not fatal.
And with their overwhelming numbers, they were seemingly endless.
This stalemate was no way to proceed…
Mo Hua frowned; just as he thought about opening a path with a formation, his gaze caught a Gu Family cultivator who was closely approached by a fish-human Demon Monster.
Within the span of two palms, the Demon Monster sucked in with its mouth and directly pulled out the cultivator’s Divine Sense.
That Gu Family cultivator wore an expression of pain.
These Demon Monsters, they can consume Divine Sense?!
Mo Hua’s heart trembled, and he immediately formed a Fireball with his fingers and cast it toward the Demon Monster, blasting it away. Then, he made a decisive call:
“Let’s retreat first!”
Knowing the urgency of the situation, everyone ceased their hesitation and began to cover each other as they retreated.
Gu An and Gu Quan, the highest in cultivation, covered the rear, intercepting the numerous Demon Creatures.
Mo Hua, with his spells, repelled the sneak-attacking Demon Monsters.
Blades flared in chaos, spells flashed frequently; the group fought as they retreated.
When they reached the narrow entrance, Mo Hua symbolically threw an Array Plate of the Earth Fire Formation, blasting back a few Demon Monsters and creating a smokescreen.
Then, taking advantage of the explosion as cover, he used Divine Sense Control Ink to lay a Second Grade, Sixteen Patterns Di Sha Formation on the ground.
Mo Hua’s gaze turned cold, and he muttered softly:
“Explode!”
The Di Sha Formation exploded in an instant, a surge of killing intent bubbled up from the ground, the flow of the earth’s Spiritual Power tore through, directly shredding a large swath of Demon Monsters.
With this brief respite, everyone finally managed to leave the Taoist Field.
As they retreated, Mo Hua’s keen Divine Sense spotted through the layers of Demon Monsters, Master She bursting into a cloud of blood mist, shedding his demonized flesh, giving a sinister smile before turning his head to flee towards the River God Temple in the distance.
