The several people present were all Sequence 6, their strength beyond question.
But Yin Yang was only Sequence 8, yet he showed no panic while facing five opponents alone.
Because he had long since made preparations at the Qi family estate; moreover, a sacrifice was his home turf!
With his command to "Commence the Rite," a light screen suddenly flared up in the woods surrounding the estate, enveloping the entire Qi family manor within it.
Qi Xiangyang's expression shifted once more. This feeling was as unsettling as finding someone had changed the locks on his own house!
"Wake up!"
Yin Yang struck his staff once more.
Clatter, clatter.
The skulls forming the altar began to tremble, and the black substance coiling around them started to disintegrate bit by bit.
Qi Xiangyang roared, "You bastard, what have you done to my altar!!!"
However, Yin Yang did not respond to him.
Hum—
A black-red halo rippled outward into the surroundings.
Liang Guan and the others all took to the air, not daring to come into contact with this eerie halo at all.
They watched as balls of light flew out from all the corpses covered by the halo, drawn by some mysterious force toward Yin Yang.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Those light balls merged into the mask on Yin Yang's face, while the corpses rapidly began to rot, turning into pools of black-red sludge.
Eerie.
Unparalleled eeriness.
Even Black Feather and White Feather couldn't help but steal a deep look at Yin Yang, feeling that his methods were even more bizarre than those of an evil cult!
"Wake up!!!"
Yin Yang spoke again.
The skulls on the altar flew up one after another. The black-red substance below transformed into a giant vortex that began to spin, sucking in all the flesh and sludge from the rotting corpses.
Yin Yang slowly ascended, floating in the center of these skulls.
Plop, plop.
The skulls fell into the vortex one by one like dumplings into a pot. After five or six seconds, giant hands radiating black energy reached out, gripping the edges of the vortex as they crawled out.
These were humanoid monsters nearly two meters tall, their entire bodies radiating a pitch-black stench. Just looking at them felt like an ill omen.
The most eye-catching part was their heads!
They were skulls radiating black energy, with red light glowing in their hollow eye sockets.
"Roar!!!"
The first pitch-black monster to climb out opened its mouth and roared. In that moment, even the Sequence 6 combatants instinctively retreated.
Resentment.
Unparalleled resentment!
One monster after another crawled out of the vortex, forming a small army.
Yin Yang stood in mid-air, his gaze cold.
"Feast upon your sacrifices!"
"Roar!!!"
The monsters roared and charged toward Qi Xiangyang and the others.
At this moment, within the array, every living thing except Yin Yang was a sacrifice!
Yin Yang stood quietly in the air, watching the monsters charge wave after wave at Qi Xiangyang and the rest.
Putch!
A monster was torn apart by Qi Xiangyang's bare hands, spilling foul, black-red liquid everywhere.
The people around them retreated, but except for Black and White Feather, the remaining three could not fly and were soon surrounded by the monsters.
Qi Xiangyang grew increasingly anxious. He had already absorbed the materials earlier, needing only the primary material to complete his promotion ritual.
But now, the primary material had been absorbed by someone else!
His promotion ritual was likely going to fail.
The moment this thought surfaced, an unparalleled sense of panic welled up in his heart.
A light breeze blew, and a strand of white hair drifted down.
Qi Xiangyang touched his head in terror. Raising his hand, he realized his skin had begun to wrinkle again.
"Ah!!!"
Qi Xiangyang's scream was heart-wrenching, and the human skin garment he wore screamed along with him.
"Give it back, give me back my lifespan!!!"
He hammered at the invisible barrier like a madman, completely ignoring the attacks from the surrounding monsters.
At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind: take the Gall back!
Only by using the Gall to complete the final ritual could he survive.
"Give it back to me!!!"
Putch!
A zhanmadao pierced Qi Xiangyang's lower abdomen, but he didn't seem to feel it, continuing to pound frantically on the barrier before him.
"Awoo!"
A monster lunged forward, biting into Qi Xiangyang and tearing a chunk of flesh from his thigh. It swallowed the meat without even chewing.
Smelling the blood, the other monsters grew even more frenzied, swarming Qi Xiangyang to tear and bite at him.
This time, even Xia Zhiqiu and the others realized something was wrong with Qi Xiangyang's state. After all, his current behavior was no different from suicide.
"Roar!"
The blade-wielding ghost let out a roar, and the monsters tearing at the flesh all stopped at once, lunging toward Black Feather and the others instead.
With his leg muscles gone, Qi Xiangyang could only kneel powerlessly on the ground. Even so, he continued to hammer at the invisible barrier, hoping to break through and reclaim the Gall to break through to Sequence 5.
Putch!
The zhanmadao pierced into Qi Xiangyang's body once more.
It wouldn't let him die so easily. He had to experience the same pain its master had endured.
Qi Xiangyang grew older and older, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.
"No, this isn't what I wanted."
"No!!!"
"True God! I am willing to offer everything I possess!"
"I pray for You to respond to Your believer's call!!!"
Boom!
A crimson light pillar descended from the sky, completely enveloping Qi Xiangyang!
The moment the blade-wielding ghost touched this red light, crimson tentacles began to grow out of its body!
It hurriedly swung its blade to sever the tentacles, but the moment the blade touched them, it felt a sharp pain in its soul!
In mid-air, Yin Yang also frowned deeply; the blade-wielding ghost's pain was reflected back to him.
Black and White Feather fled frantically, as did Xia Zhiqiu.
But his living corpse and Liang Guan weren't so lucky. The crimson light pillar suddenly expanded, easily catching up to the two of them.
In a single instant, their skin shattered like porcelain, and crimson tentacles began to snake out from their flesh.
"No, no, no!"
Liang Guan's voice was filled with despair and terror.
"Let me die in human form, let me die in human form!!!"
His voice grew more and more muffled, and his body became bloated, like a two-meter-tall heap of meat.
Gurgle, gurgle—
The sound of intestines churning echoed from his abdomen. Liang Guan's voice gradually vanished, leaving only the basic instinct for survival.
Feeding!
The tentacles on his body swept toward the skull monsters, grabbing them and stuffing them into his body!
That's right, stuffing them in!
Seeing this, Black and White Feather fled even faster, but when they reached the barrier, they found that even their combined strength could not break through it.
"Open the barrier!"
"He has summoned an evil god's avatar! Even a Sequence 5 Demigod might not survive this. Do you want to die with him!"
Putch!
Putch!
The two women looked down in disbelief as two fleshy tentacles pierced through their abdomens.
"It's all your fault."
"It's all your fault for ruining my promotion."
"Everyone must die, you all must die!"
The red light slowly faded, revealing Qi Xiangyang inside, who now looked like a mutant octopus.
Behind the barrier, Yin Yang struck his staff once more.
"An evil god is also a sacrifice."
