NOVPUBBlocked in front of the disaster-struck commoners below.
Then, he immediately saw the seahorse-like Demonic Beast elongate its snout, stabbing towards him.
Only then did alarm strike his heart!
"I’m done for! How could I be so reckless! Now I’m not going to die; I’ll at least be seriously injured!"
He was merely a I, a Qi Refining Stage X Cultivator, even though he had a specially made Magic Tool from above, how could that possibly withstand a full-fledged strike from a Class II Demonic Beast.
However, in the next moment, he didn’t feel anything, only to see the seahorse Demonic Beast, which was nearly within an arm’s reach, as if struck by an invisible colossal force, instantly turned into a thin pancake of flesh and fell downwards.
Seeing this scene, Qian Baimao was startled!
He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the Taoist in green, who had already moved towards the next disaster victim, and thought in awe:
"So powerful! This senior must be among the formidable ones even within Foundation Establishment."
"No wonder he seemed so unconcerned... But I can’t afford to let my guard down either."
With this in mind, he quickly reminded him:
"It’s still best to be careful, senior. Recently this area often sees a multitude of sea Demonic Beasts passing through..."
Before he could finish, Qian Baimao’s body suddenly stiffened, and he couldn’t help but turn around.
He looked towards the puddle drenched by seawater not far away.
He could clearly sense that beneath the surface of the water, a series of hidden gazes were cast upon him.
In that instant, Qian Baimao felt his hair stand on end and his scalp tingle!
"Did I run into some evil fortune today? Why does it seem like everything I mention is coming true?!"
But he didn’t have the luxury to think any further and quickly whispered:
"Senior! I will send a rescue signal! This place is mostly lower-grade Class I, Class II Demonic Beasts. As long as we hold out until the Golden Core Masters from Yellow Pill Valley arrive, we should be fine!"
Having said that, he almost immediately activated a rescue signal flare hidden within his armor.
Instantly, a flare shot out from his shoulder, skyrocketing into the sky and exploding!
And that sound was like a catalyst, prompting the hidden Demonic Beasts in the water to finally lose their restraint. A myriad of fish-shaped Demonic Beasts, blue-spotted stingrays, sea snakes, starfish, and other various beasts almost simultaneously pounced towards the disaster victims and both Qian Baimao and the Taoist in green!
Qian Baimao’s face dramatically changed, and he rapidly muttered to himself:
"Lower-grade Class II, mid... It can’t be, is that a top-grade Class II?!"
If it were just a swarm of lower-grade Class II Demonic Beasts, his armor might just barely hold out, but among these beasts, there was actually a top-grade Class II Demonic Beast mixed in, which he simply couldn’t handle.
Realizing this, the thought of escaping had become utterly impossible.
His complexion instantly turned ashen.
The disaster-stricken commoners behind him also couldn’t help but shriek aloud when they saw this.
Meanwhile.
At the moment the rescue signal flared, several Cultivators’ silhouettes suddenly shot up from afar and sped towards them!
The Taoist in green, who had seen everything with his Spiritual Sense, looked on with a cold gaze.
Almost in a single thought.
The onrushing Class II Demonic Beasts, in the shocked gaze of Qian Baimao, crashed into an invisible wall, their bones and flesh violently bursting apart—dying in an exceptionally terrible state!
"This..."
He stood there dumbfounded, watching the pieces of flesh fall as they had before, feeling as if he were standing amidst the clouds, filled with an unreal sense of floating.
Whoosh!
Several figures finally arrived.
"Master Ni!"
When Qian Baimao saw the leader, he immediately snapped back to reality and loudly called out.
The leader, Master Ni, swept his gaze over the flesh pieces’ aura and his expression slightly changed.
His eyes first looked at Qian Baimao, then immediately towards the Taoist in green.
He was a Golden Core Cultivator and could instantly sense the profound aura of an equal standing emanating from the other party.
His expression instantly tightened.
With both delight and wariness in his eyes, he raised his hand and said,
"Thank you, Taoist friend, for intervening. May I inquire where does the Taoist friend hail from?"
The Taoist in green replied indifferently, "All in Jin."
Master Ni and the others all slightly furrowed their brows, obviously not too satisfied with this answer.
"Taoist friend?"
Qian Baimao looked at the Taoist in green in surprise, only then realizing the truth:
"So he’s also a Golden Core Master. No wonder he was so unbothered before... But we still can’t be too careful."
Seeing Master Ni and the others, he blurted out subconsciously:
"Master Ni, Master Rong, Master Pan... Why have all of you come? What if a Class III Demonic Beast comes to the defense area?"
Before he finished speaking.
The Taoist in green couldn’t help but glance at Qian Baimao with a strange look.
But Master Ni simply laughed and waved his hand, "How could that be? We’ve only just recently repelled them. How could they possibly return so soon..."
In the next moment, the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
Seeing their frozen expressions, a sense of inexplicable panic surged in Qian Baimao’s heart.
"What’s going on?"
"It couldn’t be, really, whatever I say comes true?!"
