Just as everyone thought the Great Demon Hawk was about to charge at Nine Abyss and Cui Ying, a sudden turn of events left them all gaping in shock.
The Great Demon Hawk beat its wings, and an arcane force spread over the wounds covering the Little Demon Hawk's mangled corpse. In the next instant, dark crimson blood surged wildly like oil cast into fire, frenziedly devoured and absorbed by the Great Demon Hawk. The black smoke around its body immediately grew more than a degree denser.
In a daze, even the temperature of the surrounding area seemed to have plummeted to freezing point because of its change.
Lu Feng watched Nine Abyss and Cui Ying's expressions from afar. They remained as calm as ever, without the slightest change, and he could not help frowning inwardly.
This did not look like a successful possession.
It looked more like their corpses had simply been occupied—or rather, controlled.
Before he could ponder it further in alarm,
Cui Ying launched the first attack. With a lift of his hand, the surrounding yellow sand spread at incredible speed, wrapping toward the Bloodthirsty Demon Hawk and forcibly trapping it within an enormous sand ball.
Nine Abyss was not to be outdone either. He controlled the surrounding sand to form giant pointed cones, which spun at high speed and radiated a fierce might. Should the Bloodthirsty Demon Hawk have any strength left to break free, he would certainly skewer it to death at once.
Lu Feng and the others did not linger to watch. This was no time to stand around and enjoy the spectacle. If they stayed any longer, they might be the next ones to suffer.
With the distant battle holding them back, the Profound Shadow Bulwark Array gradually dissipated under Fourth Uncle's control.
