Bloody Ruined Temple

“That’s good then.”

The few people nodded.

However, their expressions remained unpleasant.

What kind of existences were they?

Four Sanyin Realm powerhouses, trying to capture a little girl, yet failing repeatedly.

This somewhat caused them to lose face.

“Once this matter concludes, I plan to flatten the Eastern Region,” the Green Devil Protector said at this moment.

“When the tiger is not in the mountain, the monkey becomes king.”

“In the small Eastern Region, the destruction of trash like Wuya Mountain actually caused such a huge stir.”

Evidently, during their pursuit of Bai Ling, the few of them had also heard the news of Wuya Mountain’s demise.

A sect whose strongest member was only in the Earth Profound Realm, yet it had once dominated the vast Eastern Region; in the Green Devil Protector’s view, this was somewhat inconceivable.

At the same time, it stirred his ambition to become a king and ancestor in the Eastern Region.

He looked at the three people and smiled, “I plan to integrate and subdue the Eastern Region.”

“After occupying the entire Eastern Region, I’ll collect all resources to support myself, so that in the future I might be able to advance further; you all better not compete with me then.”

The burly and robust Red Devil Protector timely poured cold water, “Green Devil Protector, don’t think too simply about everything.”

“The Eastern Region is notoriously poor among the surrounding regions; there aren’t many resources suitable for existences like us to cultivate.”

“Moreover, for so many years, the peaceful development and non-interference between the regions indicate that it’s not as simple as it appears on the surface.”

“The waters of this Eastern Region might be very deep!”

“The most pressing matter now is to capture that girl and strip her of her bloodline; that is the top priority.”

This made the Green Devil Protector curl his lips dismissively.

How deep could the water be in a poor place like the Eastern Region?

With his strength, even flattening the entire Eastern Region would be no problem.

While the four were speaking,

Outside the dilapidated temple, a sinister cackle suddenly sounded.

“Who?”

The Red Devil Protector frowned.

“What kind of demon or ghost dares to be presumptuous in front of us?”

The Green Devil Protector’s tiger-like eyes were gloomy, full of killing intent.

However, no sooner had his voice fallen than a scythe was already resting on his neck.

The scythe was long, emitting a chilling gleam.

Made of unknown material, it exuded an ancient aura.

Cold sweat immediately trickled down the Green Devil Protector’s forehead.

Who was he?

A Sanyin Realm powerhouse.

And now, a scythe had been placed directly on his neck without him noticing anything.

He, who had previously mocked the Eastern Region for having no masters, was now clearly surrounded by intense fear.

On this dark scythe, he felt a strong aura of death.

How many years had it been?

Since his cultivation broke through to the Tianxuan Realm, it had been too long since he had felt what threat was.

However, this time, it became the last time of his remaining life.

As a cutting sound came,

The Green Devil Protector’s head was directly severed.

His head, the size of a bowl, shot into the sky, and hot blood, like a fountain, sprayed onto the other three Red Devil Protectors.

Greatly stimulating their nerves.

All of this took a long time to describe, but from the moment everyone detected a living being approaching, to the scythe resting on the Green Devil Protector’s neck, and then to his head being severed, it all happened in a flash of lightning.

What was even more exaggerated was that as the Green Devil Protector died and fell, they didn’t even see who the culprit was.

The opponent’s speed was too fast, so fast that they couldn’t react at all.

“Hehe…”

Inside the dilapidated temple, a cackle sounded, like a demon from hell.

Or like a vengeful spirit crawled out of the netherworld.

The laughter filled the entire dilapidated temple, combined with the whooshing winds, giving an endless sense of eeriness.

“What in the world are you?”

The Red Devil Protector’s mystic energy surged around him, forming a protective shield.

His gaze swept across the entire scene, hoping to find the source of the sound.

The other two were the same.

All of them looked around with grave expressions.

They were from the North Demon Cave, and because they carried a trace of demon blood, they had always been the ones to bring unparalleled pressure and fear to others.

But now, it was completely reversed.

A Sanyin Realm powerhouse, unable to even resist, had his head directly severed.

The pressure this caused them was immense.

As the three mutually guarded and watched, the Scarecrow quietly crept behind the Red Devil Protector.

It was like someone playing hide-and-seek, tiptoeing, a hint of unnoticed excitement flashing across its playful face.

As it approached, the Scarecrow extended its scythe.

“Got you, hehe…”

This voice was right beside him.

It made the Red Devil Protector’s scalp tingle.

He circulated all the spiritual power in his body, preparing to unleash a powerful strike.

However, before he could act,

The scythe was faster than him; as the scythe swung, he felt his head directly fly off.

The Scarecrow retracted its scythe, and smoothly placed the hooked-back soul into its lantern.

Then, its figure flashed, disappearing again.

The Blood Devil Protector and the Crazy Devil Protector were scared out of their wits.

The Red Devil Protector was the strongest among their four.

He had even reached the Three Yin second stage.

But he was just gone, like that.

Like the Green Devil Protector, he was unable to resist, and his head was directly severed.

The difficulty was like cutting grass or slicing a melon.

The two looked at each other.

A thought simultaneously arose in their minds.

“Run!”

Run far, far away.

This place was too terrifying.

If they could escape with their lives, they swore they would never set foot in the Eastern Region again in this lifetime.

It was too terrifying.

Two Sanyin Realm powerhouses!

In just a few breaths, their lives were harvested one after another, and they didn’t even see what the culprit looked like.

The opponent’s terror completely exceeded their imagination, and they were certainly not able to contend with it.

“Hehe…”

As the four died, a cackle sounded again.

The Blood Devil Protector and the Crazy Devil Protector’s faces instantly turned pale with fear.

This sound was definitely the most demonic sound they had ever heard in their lives.

Mechanical cackling mixed with heavy echoes, like a signal of death.

“Whoosh…”

As a section of the scythe flew out,

The figures of the two, who had just flown into mid-air, suddenly became still, as if a body-fixing spell had been cast upon them.

Then their bodies directly fell down.

Head separated from body, the gushing fresh blood stained a large area of the ground.

At this point, two more headless corpses lay in the mountains.

The four great Sanyin Realm powerhouses thus perished in this nameless, dilapidated mountain temple.

Even in death, they did not see what the true culprit looked like.

And even in death, there was no trace of combat.

It could be said they lived grandly, but died miserably and indignantly.

“Hehe…”

As the four died,

In the void, the Scarecrow gleefully collected a few souls into its lantern, about to leave.

However, after just a few steps, the empty eyes on its strange face inexplicably flickered.

Then, it moved with peculiar, bouncy steps to the side of the four corpses, and then began… looting!

Soon,

A pile of gold, silver, and jewels was pulled out of their storage rings, sparkling under the unextinguished light.

“Hehehehe…”

The Scarecrow’s eerie face let out a demonic laugh.

After confirming that not a single coin was left behind, it then crept away, tiptoeing and swaying from side to side on the ground.
