Hundred Beasts Soul

"Ha! Playing with snakes against me? You're courting death!"

The moment Liang Zhaohuang made his move, the Sun Family middle-aged man's violent Spiritual Sense immediately chased after him, locking down his position, while he did not spare even a glance for the "Green Snake Vine" stabbing toward him.

The man merely swept out a hand, and a wash of green light passed over. The several snake-like Thorns stabbing at him instantly lost control, then abruptly turned back, twisting together like a giant python as they lunged at Liang Zhaohuang with even fiercer, even more savage momentum.

"Roar!"

Just then, a tiger's roar thundered out, and a black tiger swept up a storm of Sword Qi as it pounced forth, tearing the biting Thorn python directly to shreds.

It was precisely the black tiger transformed from the Black Tiger Sword!

The savage black tiger now seemed even more violent. After shredding the Thorn python, it let out another roar and whipped up a great swath of Sword Qi black wind as it pounced straight at the Sun Family Foundation Establishment man.

"Wicked beast, you're courting death!"

The middle-aged man did not discern that this black tiger was in essence transformed from a sword. The Sun Family had risen through beast taming, and they possessed a natural "looking down from above" attitude toward demonic beasts.

With a deep, furious shout, the man waved his hand and flung out a Spirit Tool Long Whip, refined from snake bones together with snakeskin.

The Spirit Tool Long Whip swept up a great swath of green light and smashed into the incoming black tiger. The green light and the Sword Qi Baleful Intent wind collided, tore at each other, and finally scattered. The long whip and the black tiger crashed together with a tremendous boom; the black tiger was smashed and flipped to the ground, while the Spirit Tool Long Whip was also knocked flying.

At that very moment, a thread of five-colored light flashed and vanished, already shooting to the space before the Sun Family middle-aged man's face, aimed straight at the center of his brow.

It was precisely the spirit tool, the "Five Elements Body-Piercing Needle," that Liang Zhaohuang had launched. While the Sun Family Foundation Establishment cultivator was fighting the black tiger transformed from the "Black Tiger Sword," he had directly made a sneak attack.

The "Black Tiger Sword" consumed magic power too quickly when fighting in transformed form, and moreover, the situation here at "Beast Soul Mountain" was unclear. Liang Zhaohuang had to end the battle quickly.

"Swish!"

At that moment, the Earth Yellow Spirit Banner the man had previously launched suddenly rolled down, directly blocking the stabbing "Five Elements Body-Piercing Needle."

"I was on guard long—"

Before the man could finish speaking, one "Red Lotus" and one "Golden Lotus" had already attacked at the same time.

The explosion of flame blasted the Earth Yellow Spirit Banner flying once again, and the Golden Blades bloomed into a strangling barrage that struck directly at the other party's body.

"Clang! Clang! Clang... crack! Pfft..."

A suit of Green Wood Armor appeared on the man's body. The lotus-petal Golden Blades slashed again and again with fierce speed; in the blink of an eye, the Green Wood Armor shattered, and the Golden Blades cut straight into his body.

"Hiss..."

A python hissed, and the illusory soul-shadow of a giant green python appeared, taking the Golden Blade slashes in the man's place.

It was another Life-Bound Beast Soul suffering disaster in his stead! The strongest life-preserving method of the Sun Family Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Roar!"

Just then, with a tiger's roaring bellow, the black tiger transformed from the "Black Tiger Sword" suddenly leapt up and pounced straight at that illusory python soul-shadow.

Within the black storm swept up by Sword Qi, a Tiger Soul appeared. Its tiger maw opened and bit directly into the python soul-shadow's head, biting it to pieces and devouring it outright!

"No! Pfft..."

With his "Life-Bound Beast Soul" destroyed, the Sun Family Foundation Establishment man instantly suffered backlash as well. Great mouthfuls of blood sprayed from his mouth, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his body collapsed directly to the ground.

Take his life while he was sick!

Liang Zhaohuang once again drove the "Five Elements Body-Piercing Needle" to stab straight in. This time, the other party no longer had the strength to resist; it pierced directly through the center of his brow and his skull, killing him on the spot.

The entire battle, from the beginning until Liang Zhaohuang killed the other party, had lasted only a few exchanges.

Yet Liang Zhaohuang had already exhausted his methods. An ambush, followed by step after step of relentless pressure, giving the other party not the slightest chance to catch his breath—only then had he, in that brief span, linked each step into the next and slain him.

It could be said that the other party's strength had absolutely not been fully displayed, and his death was somewhat aggrieved.

But Liang Zhaohuang did not care about any of that. With a wave of his hand, he took back the "Black Tiger Sword." An illusory "Golden Lotus" appeared and bloomed, and petal after petal of Golden Blades slashed out, killing the injured Sun Family "seed" disciples one by one.

At the same time, he quickly cleaned up the battlefield: the yellow banner spirit tool, the long whip, and the Storage Bags.

Only then did Liang Zhaohuang discover that these dozen or so Sun Family "seed" disciples each actually carried a Storage Bag on them!

Such wealth simply could not compare to a poor family like the Liang Family, which for more than a hundred years had possessed only a single Storage Bag containing the family's foundation.

"Aristocratic families truly do deserve to occupy the ruling position!"

Liang Zhaohuang sighed in amazement inwardly. He quickly finished cleaning up the battlefield and did not use a "Trace Concealment Talisman" again. Instead, he directly circulated the spell "Invisibility Spell" and stealthily made his way toward the mountain summit.

There were only two second-rank "Trace Concealment Talismans" in total. It was better to save the remaining one for a critical moment.

By now, he already had a preliminary understanding of the situation within "Beast Soul Mountain." Whether it was the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the "Commoner's Alliance" or the Sun Family, they were basically gathered at the mountain summit fighting at this moment. With the "Invisibility Spell" for stealth, he did not have to worry about being exposed.

He stealthily traveled all the way onward. Along this route, there were quite a few warehouses and important sites where the Sun Family stored resources, and he even passed by two medicinal gardens and one beast forest.

But when Liang Zhaohuang found them, whether they were warehouses, medicinal gardens, or beast forests, all had already been opened. The materials stored inside, the spiritual herbs planted there, and the demonic beasts being tamed had all been swept clean.

It could be seen that these places had all been forced open, and the looting had also been extremely crude and wasteful.

Inside the storerooms were resources scattered on the ground and shattered; in the medicinal gardens were broken and destroyed spiritual herbs; and throughout the beast forest were the bloody flesh and mangled corpses of demonic beasts.

The clan land of the "Hundred Beasts" Sun Family, "Beast Soul Mountain," was currently undergoing an unbridled robbery.

As Liang Zhaohuang concealed his tracks and moved stealthily, he could from time to time see people with hidden heads and covered faces rampaging past. They were either looting everywhere, or chasing down Sun Family disciples or demonic beasts.

It was like a bandits' carnival!

These people had clearly all been brought by Zhu Yuqing, and they should all be people of the "Commoner's Alliance."

With these people ransacking everywhere, Liang Zhaohuang no longer expected to find any gains anywhere on Beast Soul Mountain.

He changed direction outright and stealthily headed straight for the summit of Beast Soul Mountain.

The journey was without alarm or danger, and Liang Zhaohuang smoothly slipped up to the summit of Beast Soul Mountain.

This was the true core of the "Hundred Beasts" Sun Family. A great hall stood atop the mountain—the Sun Family's Beast Soul Hall.

When Liang Zhaohuang arrived in hiding, the battle and slaughter were at their fiercest and most tragic.

Corpses lay everywhere across the plaza before Beast Soul Hall, blood flowing like a river. There were demonic beasts, cultivators, members of the Sun Family, and members of the Commoner's Alliance.

"Commoner's Alliance! You're the ones seeking death!"

All at once, amid the crowd locked in slaughter and battle on the plaza, an enraged roar exploded.

A Sun Family Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly erupted with power, forcibly driving back the enemy fighting him. Then his body blurred like an illusion as he charged straight into Beast Soul Hall at the summit.

"Hundred Beasts Soul! Kill them for me!"

An icy, bone-chilling roar, thick with heaven-soaring killing intent, rang out from within Beast Soul Hall.

The next instant, tigers roared, wolves howled, apes shrieked, and snakes hissed. One demonic beast soul after another rushed out of Beast Soul Hall—fully fifty or sixty of them.

These beast souls were berserk, savage, and utterly without intelligence. After charging out of Beast Soul Hall, they actually made no distinction between friend and foe, directly rampaging across the plaza in a killing charge.

Whether Sun Family cultivators or invaders, all became targets for these frenzied beast souls' slaughter.
