Mo Hua’s heart and spirit both quaked, filled with disbelief.
The Patriarch of the Qian Family... was he truly dead?!
Just moments before, Mo Hua had said that those who commit many injustices would eventually destroy themselves and that such actions would bring retribution.
But that had just been an offhand remark.
He had not expected that the retribution against the Patriarch of the Qian Family would actually come to pass, and so swiftly at that!
Mo Hua’s emotions were in turmoil, but what happened next was equally, if not more, shocking to him.
After swallowing the Patriarch of the Qian Family, the Pig Monster’s deathly pale eyes began to show fresh red.
The blood in its body started flowing again, demonic power began to aggregate anew, and the bloodstains on its body changed from dark to bright red, even emitting a blinding red light.
Mo Hua’s pupils dilated.
This Pig Monster, it was refining the medicinal power!
It was not only refining the power of the Lifespan Transformation Elixir but also the Blood Qi of the Patriarch of the Qian Family.
At the same time, an aura that could only be described as terrifying coalesced on the Pig Monster’s body, causing one’s whole body to shudder, even giving the illusion that the Great Dao was in chaos and a mutation was occurring!
Mo Hua had no idea what was happening, but at that moment, he had only one thought:
Run!
Simultaneously, the Pig Monster turned its head, its blood-colored eyes gazing toward Mo Hua.
Mo Hua felt his hairs stand on end as he pushed his Water Passing Step to its limit, racing toward the outside of the stone chamber.
Only a few steps into his escape, Mo Hua noticed people ahead—it was Leader Yang and Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan and Leader Yang appeared at the entrance to the cave, and upon seeing Mo Hua’s deathly pale face, were about to say something when Mo Hua urgently interrupted them.
"Run for it!"
They were taken aback, not yet understanding what had happened when they saw at the end of the stone steps, a blood-colored, fierce pig’s head making its appearance.
The two exclaimed in shock, "What kind of monster beast is this?"
The Pig Monster’s head was stuck in the entrance of the stone chamber; its blood-red pupils rotated irregularly before glancing sharply at Mo Hua. It let out a shriek and lunged forward.
The stone walls on both sides, which seemed as fragile as tofu, crumbled under the pressure of its massive body.
Despite looking bulky, the Pig Monster was incredibly fast and was about to catch up.
Zhang Lan and Leader Yang, with grave expressions, quickly placed Mo Hua behind them, hoping to hold off the Pig Monster for a moment, allowing Mo Hua to escape.
But with the Pig Monster’s terrifying presence, they had no confidence, and cold sweat seeped from their palms.
Seeing that they were protecting him behind them, Mo Hua felt a mix of gratitude and urgency.
He knew that Leader Yang and the others were no match for this aberrant Pig Monster and couldn’t stop it at all.
Trying to block it forcefully would result at best in severe injuries and at worst in being devoured like the Patriarch of the Qian Family.
In this critical juncture, a flash of inspiration struck Mo Hua.
He suddenly remembered the Formation he had set up on the ground.
When the Pig Monster charged in, the Formation hadn’t been activated.
Mo Hua pushed his Divine Sense to its limit and instantly completed the Divine Sense lock in the chaotic stone chamber, locating the Grade One Earthfire Compound Formation he had laid down.
In less than the time it takes to breathe, Mo Hua focused his qi and formed the Fireball Technique.
The fireball followed Mo Hua’s Divine Sense, flying out suddenly, tracing an arc, and precisely igniting the Formation.
For a brief moment, the stone chamber was dead silent, as if even the sound had been annihilated.
At the same time, the Grade One Earthfire Compound Formation began to collapse!
Zhang Lan and Leader Yang witnessed an unbelievable scene.
They saw Mo Hua casting a fireball at incredible speed to activate the corner’s Formation.
But instead of exploding, the spiritual power in the Formation began to invert and slowly collapse, producing intermittent black spiritual power.
This collapsing spiritual power, like tiny black daggers, chipped away at the Pig Monster’s flesh instantaneously, stripping and unraveling its flesh at a molecular level.
First the outer skin, then the flesh, and finally the bones—all were dissolved by the power of annihilation, turning into black powder.
As the Formation collapsed, it was located at the right rear leg of the Pig Monster, and in an instant, one of the Pig Monster’s hind legs vanished, as if the void had collapsed and erased that leg.
Thrown off balance, the Pig Monster crashed to the ground, its lunging attack interrupted.
However, in just a moment, Blood Qi began to condense where the lost leg was.
First bone was formed, then flesh and blood vessels, and finally the outer skin.
As quickly as the power of annihilation dissolved it, the power of flesh regenerated.
Leader Yang and his companion were profoundly shocked:
"What kind of Formation is this? And what is this fine black spiritual power that can dissolve the flesh of a Second Grade monster beast?!"
"And what kind of monster beast is this? Why is its regeneration speed so incredibly fast?!"
