Chapter 822: The Tense Standoff

The Nightmare Mud Man immediately grew quite cautious as it was unable to detect the kirin-horned man’s cultivation base. One had to realize that it was a Return to Void Final Stage immortal beast!

The only ways a living being could conceal that cultivation base from it would be if they had some sort of special concealment device, or their cultivation base outstripped even its own!

“Could this be a living being from the Vast Land of Blood? Is it a friend or a foe?” The Nightmare Mud Man was a little unsure of what to make of these unfamiliar creatures.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the golden groundhog and the Divine Poison Frog were also with them, it would have most likely already attacked them.

“Peerless Saber Demon, Divine Poison Frog, what’s the deal with the other living beings.” The Nightmare Mud Man didn’t approach them. Instead, it remained standing on the spot with a cautious expression as it tried to gather more information.

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug was also a little unsure of what to make of this situation. There were two people who had gone in, but why had so many of them come out together? Not only were there members of the Divine Guardian Squad with An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, but there were even a strange human and a peculiar beast.

Wait… Why was that peculiar beast so familiar…

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug’s body shuddered as it came to a sudden realization. Wasn’t that one of the f*cking Four Great Ferocious Beasts, Gluttony?!

The Divine Poison Frog and the Peerless Saber Demon didn’t provide any answers to the Nightmare Mud Man’s questions.

The Peerless Saber Demon had already established a beast pet contract with Dongfang Zhuangshi and couldn’t betray its master. Meanwhile, the Divine Poison Frog was too afraid to say anything in case it said something wrong and was slaughtered by the Demonic Blood Kirin beside it.

“You’re not going to say anything?” The Nightmare Mud Man was getting a little unsettled.

Terrifying might erupted forth from its body as the power of the nightmare divine dao soared into the air. Dark winds immediately roared through the skies as countless nightmarish figures appeared and obscured the entire sky as they transformed the world into a nightmarish hell!

“So this is the Nightmare Mud Man’s power of the divine dao? It’s nothing much. Significantly inferior to Laden’s, in fact,” a handsome man remarked in a cold voice.

This man was none other than An Lin, who had killed Laden using his own tribulation lightning.

The Nightmare Mud Man instantly flared up upon hearing this. As he glowered at An Lin, he snarled, “How dare a mere Soul Formation Stage cultivator run his mouth here? You’re asking for an early grave!”

It gripped the air, and the black power of the divine dao converged like strands of silk before forming a black spear, from which a terrifying aura erupted.

Boom!

Overwhelming might instantly shattered the space around it!

Not only was this a physical attack, but it was also a spiritual attack. Once struck, no matter how powerful the target’s life force was, they would be subjected to horrific nightmares until their soul was destroyed from eternal torment.

“Peerless Saber Demon, Divine Poison Frog, I’ll give you one last chance! If you continue to remain silent, then I’m going to view you as traitors and kill you!”

The Nightmare Mud Man’s patience had been completely worn away.

The other beasts immediately retreated in fear of being struck by shockwaves from the potential attack. Only the three Return to Void Stage immortal beasts still stood firmly beside it.

The Divine Poison Frog was given a massive fright by the Nightmare Mud Man’s threat. However, it turned its eyes on Dongfang Zhuangshi, and its nerves were somewhat soothed.

The Nightmare Mud Man was very powerful, but it was not as terrifying as the Demonic Blood Kirin!

Dongfang Zhuangshi had already revealed his current power level to everyone prior to entering the passageway between the two worlds. Even though he had been tortured by Pangu’s power for countless years and no longer had a physical body, just his consciousness alone was already at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage!

After seeing the Divine Poison Frog and the Peerless Saber Demon’s lack of reaction, the Nightmare Mud Man could finally determine that these two Divine Guardian Squad members had indeed become traitors.

“Die!”

The Nightmare Mud Man waved a hand as its nightmare divine dao spear pierced through and flew toward An Lin and the others with a boundless might.

This was the signature trait of the beast tribes. All of them had explosive tempers and would attack at a moment’s notice!

Its thought process was clearly to kill them first and worry about everything else later.

Dongfang Zhuangshi furrowed his brows slightly at the sight of the oncoming attack. “How unreasonable. Why would it attack us without any provocation?”

It was also at this moment that a spatial rift appeared in front of An Lin, from which a black dragon emerged.

“Hahaha… Master, Master’s wife, let’s go!”

Xiao Ze had taken the stage!

Boom!

The spear that was imbued with the terrifying power of the nightmare divine dao struck Xiao Ze’s body, upon which an extremely sharp screeching erupted. “Howl!” Xiao Ze let loose a wail of anguish, and he felt as if his consciousness were being torn apart as the force of the spear propelled him toward An Lin and the others.

Dongfang Zhuangshi immediately unleashed a palm.

Boom!

Earth-shattering blood power erupted forth.

Xiao Ze’s gigantic body was slapped aside before flying away into the distance like a kite with severed string…

“Little Xiao, are you alright?!” An Lin was given a fright upon seeing this, and he immediately yelled to ascertain if Xiao Ze was still alive!

Everything had happened far too abruptly for him to even have a chance to react.

Xiao Ze was also completely dumbstruck. He had just jumped out from his spatial rift when he was struck by a terrifying spear, which was then followed by an even more monstrous slap that had almost knocked him unconscious.

In that instant, he felt like he had been ambushed.

But after An Lin emerged completely unscathed and inquired about his well-being, he finally understood what had just happened. He had been attacked by friend and foe alike!

“I’m fine! Master, let’s get out of here!” Xiao Ze shook off his dizziness before flying toward An Lin.

“Is that a dragon at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage? What powerful defenses!” The Nightmare Mud Man’s expression faltered before it turned to Dongfang Zhuangshi and gripped the air with both hands.

Boom!

The space in a radius of five kilometers was instantly sealed!

“Hehe, but it sure is a pleasant surprise to discover an even more powerful being!” The Nightmare Mud Man stared intently at Dongfang Zhuangshi, and it was so excited that the viscous black mist around its body was surging.

“That power… There’s no mistaking it! Even though its scarcely believable, that is most definitely the power of the Demonic Blood Kirin!

“What amazing luck! To think the Demonic Blood Kirin would come to me!”

Dongfang Zhuangshi looked at the elated Nightmare Mud Man with an indifferent smile. “So what makes you think that your luck is good?”

The Nightmare Mud Man faltered upon hearing this question.

“Alright.” Dongfang Zhuangshi cracked his neck from side to side, and a series of cracks sounded. “I’m a reasonable person, so let me break this down for you. I didn’t provoke you, but you tried to kill me, so I’m going to have to retaliate now.”

Crimson energy slowly seeped out from his daoist robe.

Dongfang Zhuangshi tore at the air with his hands, and the Nightmare Mud Man’s spatial seal was instantly crushed.

“Crap!” The Nightmare Mud Man’s expression shifted drastically, and it clapped its hands together as the countless nightmarish projections in the air tumbled like a wave before surging toward Dongfang Zhuangshi.

The sea of nightmarish projections swept forth with boundless might.

Horror, despair, and all types of negative emotions engulfed heaven and earth, corrupting all the living beings present. Some of the beasts nearby fell to their knees in horror, and there were even some who had gone completely insane or died on the spot from having their souls destroyed.

An earth-shattering red light soared into the sky and punctured a massive hole in the boundless darkness before flashing toward the Nightmare Mud Man at an extreme speed.

The Nightmare Mud Man’s eyes widened with shock and horror.

Dongfang Zhuangshi remained expressionless as a blood vortex erupted from his fist before sweeping forth for over ten kilometers. It instantly engulfed the vast expanse of viscous darkness in the sky.

The might of his one fist sent shockwaves of blood power that exploded forth in a radius of several dozen kilometers as it reduced the countless nightmarish projections into oblivion.

The Nightmare Mud Man’s power of the divine dao was shattered, and its body was flattened into a puddle of black liquid. A huge mouthful of blood gushed forth from his mouth as its body plummeted into the ground like a cannonball.

Boom!

A massive crater appeared in the ground.

Dongfang Zhuangshi withdrew his fist and stood proudly in the air.

A deathly silence ensued.

Regardless of whether it was An Lin and Xu Xiaolan or all the onlooking beasts, everyone was completely shocked by what they saw.

The Nightmare Mud Man had been severely wounded.

And Dongfang Zhuangshi had only launched one fist!
