Chapter 382 Using a borrowed knife to kill, the entire Kiyohara Sect is wiped out.
This was none other than the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, an ancient remnant species that had reached the late Nascent Soul stage!
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile's lantern-sized, scarlet eyes coldly swept over the panicked cultivators.
It suddenly roared to the sky, and the sound waves spread out as if they were real, causing the trees in the mountains and forests to fall down. Cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation levels bled from their ears and noses and fainted.
Immediately, it opened its huge mouth, and a terrifying suction force was suddenly generated.
In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, and dozens of cultivators, along with the surrounding trees and boulders, were involuntarily swept up, letting out shrill screams, as if they had been plunged into a bottomless pit, and were sucked into that blood-red maw!
The stench of blood instantly filled the air.
This terrified everyone, leaving them paralyzed with fear.
The moment Shen Rugo recognized the crocodile, her heart sank. It was the same crocodile from the icy pool, and she had stolen the millennia-old ice marrow it had guarded for countless years.
"Damn it! They're coming for me!"
"Did this damn crocodile remember my scent?"
Shen Rugo instantly understood.
She had already refined the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, but the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, relying on its sense of her aura, had chased her all the way here!
Without a second thought, her spiritual energy surged, and she turned and sped off in the opposite direction from the crowd.
She didn't want to be the crocodile's appetizer, nor did she want to implicate others.
This crocodile is too ferocious; countless cultivators have died in its jaws before.
Sure enough, after the Sky-Splitting Crocodile swallowed a group of cultivators, it sniffed fiercely in the air with its huge nose, and its scarlet eyes instantly locked onto Shen Rugo, who was fleeing into the distance!
That familiar scent—it was the little thief who stole its treasure!
"Roar!"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile let out an angry roar, immediately abandoning the others. With a swift movement of its massive body, it chased after Shen Rugo at an astonishing speed completely disproportionate to its size!
With each step it took, ripples spread through the space, its power awe-inspiring.
Seeing the Sky-Splitting Crocodile chase after Shen Rugo, the surviving cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, their faces ashen, their hearts filled with fear: How could a Nascent Soul stage demon beast appear here? Could that Golden Core old monster escape its giant maw?
Regardless, everyone was filled with worry for Shen Rugo, fearing that she might really be swallowed whole by the crocodile.
However, there is an exception.
Those Qingyuan Sect disciples who had just been robbed and beaten to a pulp by Shen Rugo showed no sympathy whatsoever upon seeing this scene. Instead, their faces lit up with wild joy, and they jumped up, pointing in the direction Shen Rugo had fled and loudly cursing:
"Serves you right! You vixen, serves you right for being so arrogant! You've got what you deserve!"
"Hahaha! What goes around comes around! Serves you right for stealing our treasure!"
"Swallow her! Crocodile Ancestor, swallow her now!"
"It would be best to chew her up completely, so that she is utterly destroyed, body and soul!"
They hated Shen Rugo to the core, and seeing her being chased by a powerful enemy, they felt immense pleasure and wished the Sky-Splitting Crocodile would tear her to pieces immediately.
The others, however, shook their heads inwardly, their hearts filled with disdain.
Although they didn't think Shen Rugo was a good person, her actions were clearly intended to lure the crocodile away and prevent it from harming them. This was a life-saving grace for all of them, yet the Qingyuan Sect members were cursing Shen Rugo.
As Shen Rugo was fleeing with all her might, her ears inexplicably burned. Listening closely, she vaguely heard curses coming from behind her, and a nameless rage instantly rose in her heart.
These Qingyuan Sect disciples are ungrateful and even cursed her so viciously.
Her eyes lit up, and a ruthless plan instantly took shape.
"Hmph, you want to see me die? Then let you taste the power of this giant crocodile first!"
Shen Rugo sneered inwardly, quickly took out four Swiftness Talismans, and slapped them onto her legs without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
The talisman shone brightly, and Shen Rugo's speed suddenly increased several times, turning her into an almost invisible afterimage as she darted through the forest.
Instead of fleeing in a straight line, she took a large detour, using the extreme speed granted by the Divine Speed Talisman to maneuver through the complex terrain of the mountains and forests and fight against the Sky-Splitting Crocodile.
Although the Sky-Splitter Crocodile was powerful, its size was too enormous. Tracking it through the dense forest was difficult for it, and it could only angrily destroy everything in its path.
Whether it's trees or rocks, they're as fragile as paper in its presence.
After circling around once, Shen Rugo suddenly changed direction, no longer moving away, but instead shooting towards the direction where the Qingyuan Sect disciples were gathered!
"She...she's back?!"
"No! She's coming this way! And that crocodile behind her is following us too!"
"Damn it! She's trying to get us killed!"
The ecstasy and curses on the faces of the Qingyuan Sect disciples froze instantly, replaced by boundless fear and horror.
They instantly understood Shen Rugo's intention: to shift the blame and use someone else to do the dirty work!
"Quick! Stop her! Attack her!"
"Don't let her get near us!"
Despite his injuries, the senior brother leading the Qingyuan Sect shouted at the top of his lungs.
In this life-or-death situation, the disciples of Qingyuan Sect disregarded everything else and unleashed their remaining magical treasures and trump cards, attacking Shen Rugo who was charging towards them with all their might.
At this moment, they hated Shen Rugo intensely and only wanted to kill her on the spot.
However, their attacks were full of flaws in Shen Rugo's eyes.
She moved like a slippery fish, weaving through the gaps in the dense attacks. Whenever she struck, a Qingyuan Sect disciple would scream and die.
She not only wants to use someone else to do her dirty work, but also wants to collect the interest herself!
"Hahaha! Fellow senior brothers and sisters of Qingyuan Sect, are you satisfied with this generous gift?"
As the crocodile caught up, Shen Rugo's silvery laughter rang out.
Just as the Qingyuan Sect disciples were thrown into chaos by her actions, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile arrived right behind them!
Many of the weapons and magical artifacts that were meant to attack Shen Rugo immediately struck the Sky-Splitting Crocodile.
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile was furious. It didn't care who was attacking whom below; all it cared about was the little thief who stole the Ice Marrow. These ants dared to block its path and even attack it. This was intolerable.
In a fit of rage, the enormous head swung violently, its long tail sweeping across, turning more than a dozen Qingyuan Sect disciples, along with their magical artifacts, into a bloody pulp.
Then, it opened its huge mouth, and this time the suction was stronger and covered a wider area than before!
"No!"
"Spare my life!"
"Old Crocodile Ancestor, we are not..."
The heart-wrenching pleas for mercy and screams abruptly ceased.
The remaining nearly one hundred Qingyuan Sect disciples were as if seized by an invisible giant hand, swept up without any resistance, and all disappeared into the gaping maw of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile!
Hundreds of elite disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, the future hope of one of the ten major sects, were wiped out in just a few breaths and became food for this Nascent Soul demon beast!
The moment the Sky-Splitting Crocodile launched its fatal attack, Shen Rugo had already used the speed of the Divine Travel Talisman to shoot towards the distant horizon like an arrow released from a bow.
She didn't even glance back, her heart completely unmoved.
The path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens; to be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.
Since Kiyohara Munechika is her enemy and has hurled such a vicious curse at her, he should be prepared to suffer the consequences.
After the Sky-Splitting Crocodile devoured all the Qingyuan Sect disciples, its scarlet gaze once again locked onto Shen Rugo.
It roared, shattering a mountain range, and continued its pursuit.
Only the other cultivators, slumped on the ground and pale as death, remained.
They gazed at the spot where the Qingyuan Sect disciples had disappeared, then looked in the direction where Shen Rugo and the Sky-Splitting Crocodile had vanished, remaining silent for a long time.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and the lingering fear of surviving a catastrophe.
Outside the Valley of Burial Immortals.
It was nighttime, and all was quiet.
Almost everyone was meditating cross-legged.
There are now exactly three days left before Burial Valley reopens, and all the disciples who entered will have to leave.
Now almost everyone hopes that the Burial Immortal Valley Secret Realm can be opened as soon as possible; they really don't want to live in fear any longer.
After all, too many disciples from various sects have died.
However, at that moment, suddenly, a series of cracking sounds rang out, instantly shattering the silence of Burial Immortal Valley.
At that moment, almost everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they nearly jumped out of their skin...
