53: Chapter 53 The Terrifying Black and Red Aura

The other four robed cultists were all taken aback when they saw how ferocious this Oriental man was.

The three black-robed cultists immediately wanted to flee.

However, the leading blue-robed priest spoke in a strange rhythm.

"Lambs of God, now is the time to sacrifice yourselves for the Lord. Kill this infidel who has desecrated the sacrificial ritual."

Upon hearing these words in the strange tone, the expressions of the other three changed.

Instead of thinking about fleeing, fanatic expressions appeared on their faces as they drew their daggers and charged toward the Incarnation.

The blue-robed priest, however, rushed toward the compound crossbows lying on the ground, wanting to use them to attack him.

The Incarnation, who had been keeping an eye on the blue-robed priest, would never give him such a chance; he ignored the three rushing cultists entirely.

He raised the machete in his hand and slashed toward the blue-robed priest!

Seeing that he had no chance to get the compound crossbows, the blue-robed priest immediately drew the dagger he carried and parried the Incarnation who was swinging his blade.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound of metal colliding rang out.

The immense impact of the Incarnation's slash directly forced the blue-robed priest to one knee, driving his parrying arm downward.

A deep pit was imprinted into the dirt road, burying the man's knee completely.

A finger-sized notch appeared where the machete and dagger collided, and cracks began to spread along the blade of the dagger.

Given the Incarnation's current output of nearly 1,400 kilograms, he was actually blocked by this blue-robed priest for a moment.

"This person's Essence attribute is not low! It must be at least 2 points or more to block my attack," he thought with some emotion.

However, it was all in vain; the blue-robed priest could only block this one blow.

The Incarnation clearly felt that the blue-robed priest's arm had suffered severe deformation due to the immense force of this strike.

The arm hung limp like a soft noodle, dangling into the dirt, and he immediately lost the ability to continue fighting.

Before the man could react, his next strike slashed upward, directly slicing off the man's entire head.

The blue-robed priest's severed head flew into the air, still wearing a look of shock and surprise.

The blue-robed priest was still wondering,

"Why am I flying? Is that my body?"

After the head landed, seeing his own headless body, the eyes on the head gradually dimmed.

However, the other three black-robed cultists acted as if they hadn't seen the blue-robed priest's death, recklessly stabbing toward the Incarnation.

Against their chaotic and frenzied attacks, a few slight body adjustments were enough to easily evade them.

In less than a minute, the Incarnation slaughtered these three black-robed cultists, as well as the sentries who were still struggling and had temporarily lost the ability to fight back.

All along, Wang An had no particular feelings about cultists, much like most ordinary people.

After truly experiencing this group of fearless, fanatically religious, and crazed cultists, he finally understood just how hopeless this group of people was.

The worldviews, spirits, wills, and thoughts of this group had been extremely distorted by their cult beliefs, falling outside the scope of understanding for normal people.

They remained indifferent to the Incarnation's questioning, simply wanting to kill the Incarnation with crazed expressions, so he had no choice but to eliminate them all.

Just after killing this group of cultists, the Incarnation clearly felt that a strand of Heaven and Earth Qi, which was evil, cold, and carried a certain frenzied tendency of life activity, was about to be born.

"Get away from this terrifying place quickly."

The Incarnation's temples throbbed wildly, and his spiritual sense was also sending the highest level of warning to him.

Facing this situation, he certainly would not just walk away.

Instead, he first destroyed this local energy field; at the fastest speed, he collected the 12 job-change stones at the node.

When he felt that this terrifying Heaven and Earth Qi was about to be born, the Incarnation looked back at the 6 people unconscious in the center of the node.

"I hope these few people will be alright."

In such a short time, it was impossible for him to take this group of people out of this node, so it would depend on their own luck.

Without any hesitation, he burst into full speed, running toward the mountain on the left at a speed of over ten meters per second.

30 seconds later, that terrifying Heaven and Earth Qi was born.

"Hum~ hum~ hum~"

Standing on the mountainside, he looked down at the node.

Within his field of vision, a hideous, chaotic, and ugly black-red current of energy swirled at the node.

The terrifying energy was in no way inferior to the Extreme Yang Qi, but its terrifying characteristics made the Incarnation even more wary.

Looking through binoculars, the vegetation and forests around the node gradually began to twist into abnormal postures, baring fangs and brandishing claws, striking various eerie poses.

It was as if they were possessed by ghosts, swaying toward the Incarnation's direction in a truly terrifying manner.

Just when the Incarnation thought this strand of Qi would continue to infect the surrounding mountains and forests, it stopped abruptly.

He saw that the high-density Heaven and Earth Qi inside the node began to constantly leak outward.

At first, the flow was slow because of this strange black-red Qi.

But this was like an ant nest collapsing a dam; the collapse of one part led to the collapse of the whole.

The loss of Heaven and Earth Qi became greater and greater.

This black-red Qi seemed to have lost its energy supply; its color gradually faded, and its form and influence became weaker and weaker.

Until 10 minutes later, when it fell out of the synthesis process, the entire strand of Heaven and Earth Qi dissipated, returning to the world in all directions.

"It seems that because I took away those job-change stones that were set up for special containment, this strand of Heaven and Earth Qi failed to fully form and collapsed."

Seeing this scene, the Incarnation breathed a sigh of relief. At least the worst-case scenario did not happen, but he didn't know what happened to the few people inside.

Seeing that the Heaven and Earth Qi in the surroundings had gradually calmed down, he began to approach the central node.

As he got closer, he could see the chaos caused by the synthesis of the black-red Qi and its subsequent collapse everywhere.

With the central node as the center, the twisted trees that had fallen in all directions clearly showed eerie patterns emerging on them.

Perhaps influenced by that kind of black-red Qi, these trees overall appeared reddish-black in color, exhibiting a strange vitality, and had grown a bit larger than before.

As for other animals and insects, they seemed to have been affected by its radiation, resulting in various deformities: three-headed and six-armed frogs, four-winged birds, and insects dozens of centimeters long.

However, these creatures, seemingly unable to withstand such a degree of deformity due to the collapse of the black-red Qi, were also gradually dying, with no signs of life left.
