As the colossal figures drew nearer, Gu Qianying and the others finally discerned their appearance.
"It's the Twelve Great Nuo Beasts! Empress, it's them! It's them!"
One of the Yinshan Six, Zi Mei, recognized the approaching figures.
He exclaimed in alarm.
Gu Qianying, Du Chun, Nangong Li, and the others looked towards the twelve beasts.
"What are the Twelve Great Nuo Beasts?"
Nangong Li was unfamiliar with what Zi Mei was referring to.
Jiaolong A Mu, clutching his wounds and listening to the sounds around him, spoke up.
"Legend has it they were formed by consuming twelve types of plague insects from the world, through various methods like devouring hearts, digging out lungs, tearing tendons, and skinning them, thus becoming the Twelve Great Nuo Beasts."
As he spoke, he shuffled a few steps closer to Gu Qianying.
Despite his injuries, he was determined to protect his master, Gu Qianying, with his life.
Unable to see, he could still distinguish the differences between each of the twelve colossal beasts by listening.
As Jiaolong A Mu approached Gu Qianying, Du Chun also moved closer.
He intended to protect Gu Qianying and Nangong Mo.
Gu Qianying had never heard of such "creatures" in this world before.
Du Chun, Nangong Li, and the others felt the same.
At this moment, the Yinshan Six, all six of them, had faces ashen white, their eyes filled with terror.
Meanwhile, Wu Yang Feng and Wu Yang Hao, standing behind Master Wu Yang,
looked at Gu Qianying, Du Chun, and the others with great smugness.
"Gu Qianying, my father is the most powerful person in the world. Today, my father will let all of you die at the hands of the twelve colossal beasts. Hahaha, I'm so looking forward to it. When you pathetic wretches become food for the twelve beasts, will your useless man cry himself to death when he wakes up? Hahaha!"
Wu Yang Feng's lips curled into a venomous smile.
"Hahaha, I knew you couldn't escape my grasp. However, if Miss Gu is willing to take off... and let me have a good... I will definitely beg my father to spare your life, how about it?"
As he looked at Gu Qianying, Wu Yang Hao's lust surged.
"Heh! A fat pig jumping around, overestimating itself!"
Nangong Li rolled his eyes.
"You bastard!"
Wu Yang Hao, enraged, cursed out loud.
Among the Yinshan Six, whose legs had already gone weak...
Someone proposed.
"Big brother, second brother, let's escape quickly!"
Zi Chi, pulling on Zi Mei who was beside him, urged his brothers to flee.
However... Zi Mei, who had activated his abilities and prepared to escape, had not even taken a step.
A colossal beast, resembling a fierce tiger with a face full of white whiskers and three eyes, lunged towards him!
Before he could even transform, he was swallowed whole by the giant beast that had grabbed his head.
"Xiong Bo eats ghosts! It's Xiong Bo! It's Xiong Bo!"
Jiaolong A Mu's voice grew louder!
The events unfolded too suddenly.
The Wu people present and the Wu soldiers holding halberds were all stunned into immobility.
Master Wu Yang's incantation continued.
A powerful force swirled around him.
*Ssssh!*
The moment Zi Mei was swallowed by the Xiong Bo beast, Gu Qianying immediately took action.
Lu Zhu, Du Chun, Nangong Li, and Jiaolong A Mu also moved to attack with her.
However, Du Chun was sent flying by a collision with the Lan Zhu beast, his back hitting a pillar as he slowly fell.
He clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was injured.
Nangong Li fared even worse.
He was grabbed by the neck by the Wei Sui beast, a two-headed, human-faced serpent with a purple body and a red crest, as long as a chariot's shaft, and violently flung away.
"Nangong Li!"
Luolayata cried out.
She hid behind Lu Zhu, afraid to step forward.
Lu Zhu, holding her long sword, didn't know which beast to attack.
Nangong Li lay on the ground, his entire body's bones seemingly shattered.
Pain spread throughout him!
It was Gu Qianying who saved him from the beast's attack and pushed him towards Luolayata.
She instructed Luolayata to take Nangong Li and escape first.
Then, she pushed the injured Du Chun over.
The colossal beasts, known as the Twelve Great Nuo Beasts, were too powerful in their attacks.
She was not confident in subduing them.
Having witnessed Zi Mei being swallowed by a beast, Gu Qianying
now hoped that Du Chun, Nangong Mo, Luolayata, and the others could escape quickly.
And survive.
Before she left, she was determined to kill the beast that had swallowed Zi Mei and avenge him!
"Protect him well!"
Gu Qianying commanded Jiaolong A Mu to protect Nangong Mo with his life.
As she turned, the Crimson Blood Saber spun in her palm.
Holding the Crimson Blood Saber, she leaped into the air and, as she swung at the Xiong Bo beast,
she unleashed all her strength, maximizing the power burst from the combination of her spiritual energy and demonic power.
The sky seemed to split open, and golden light enveloped in immense power spread across the land.
Only screams were heard.
The Wu soldiers closest to them were all sent flying several yards away.
Not long after, as everyone looked closely,
the woman who had grabbed a handful of Xiong Bo's white whiskers had already plunged the Crimson Blood Saber into its mouth, piercing its beastly body from top to bottom.
Blood bloomed within its body.
Another roar, a groan of pain, echoed.
And at this moment.
Seeing their companion injured by a woman, the other colossal beasts felt greatly insulted.
"Roar, roar..."
Amidst the roars of over a dozen colossal beasts,
several of them, disregarding everything, devoured several Wu soldiers.
The remaining five of the Yinshan Six dared not linger any longer, turning to flee.
But... Jia Zuo devours ferocity, Teng Jian devours the unknown, Cuo Duan devours giants, Qiong Qi Teng Gen jointly devours蠱, Qiang Liang Zu Ming jointly devours parasites.
Such was fate.
In front of these natural predators of colossal beasts.
Zi Chi, with the body of a fierce ghost, Zi Wang, with the soul of the unknown, Zi Xiao, whose form could grow immense and contained a giant soul, Zi Liang, with the body of a witch's蠱, and Zi Xiao, who could be absorbed as a parasite, these five could not escape the claws of their natural predator beasts!
Their own abilities were useless against these colossal beasts.
With a sweep of their claws, the colossal beasts Jia Zuo, Teng Jian, Cuo Duan, Qiong Qi, Teng Gen, Qiang Liang, and Zu Ming.
These five were bitten by the neck, simultaneously bitten through and devoured, blood spraying.
The remaining five Wu people of the Yinshan Six collapsed limply, instantly losing their breath.
Screams continued to fill the air.
It was impossible to distinguish between those from the Tianji Wu Chief's side and the Wu soldiers from the Wu Yin clan.
The eleven colossal beasts were highly aggressive.
As Master Wu Yang's bizarre incantation, like heavenly demonic music, reached the ears of the eleven colossal beasts,
these beasts became even more frenzied.
Blood dripped to form rivers, fresh hearts, mangled flesh, eyeballs rolling on the ground, broken hands and legs smeared with blood, all over the place.
Countless Wu people and Wu soldiers present died.
The eleven colossal beasts wreaked havoc.
At this moment, the Tianji Wu Chief, to protect himself, pushed a Wu person beside him forward before hiding in the chaos.
"Catch that old man!"
Gu Qianying pulled the blood-stained Crimson Blood Saber from the Xiong Bo beast, turned, and flew towards Master Wu Yang.
The frenzy of the colossal beasts was the work of Master Wu Yang.
If Master Wu Yang could be captured, these colossal beasts would stop their attacks.
The colossal beasts continued to attack those present.
Behind Gu Qianying, Lu Zhu held a sword in one hand and a halberd in the other, using both.
Jiaolong A Mu saw that the person his master Gu Qianying had asked him to protect was already being carried by Nangong Li.
He turned and faced a Qiong Qi colossal beast.
*Whoosh...*
As he transformed, he endured the pain of his flesh corroding into rot.
He grappled with the Qiong Qi colossal beast, which resembled a cow with tough, hedgehog-like fur.
The Jiaolong's colossal body coiled around the Qiong Qi colossal beast, both dragon and beast opening their monstrous mouths.
"Roar..."
Both dragon and beast let out earth-shattering roars.
