Chapter 238
Chapter 238 - Divine power
The stone statue's large hand grabbed onto a five meter tall Demonic Beasts and with a loud boom, the Demonic Beasts exploded into a cloud of blood mist. There was no chance for it to resist at all.
Seeing this, the witch clansmen started to cheer out loud. The guardian god was indeed extraordinary, the moment he made a move, it would shake the heavens and earth.
The Demonic Beasts roared in anger and rushed towards the stone statue.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
With a wave of his hand, the few Demonic Beasts s that were hit flew into the distance and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
The power of a guardian was not something they could withstand.
The Kui Cow's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets. These stone statues were actually this powerful? He could feel a shiver coming from the depths of his heart.
The Kui Cow immediately turned around and dashed out of the city. Seeing that the opportunity was right in front of it, Tang Zheng immediately chased it down, standing on its back with his sword, exposing his ghastly white bones.
However, the Kui Cow only stumbled, not stopping at all. Its speed reached its limit as it passed through the stone statue's crotch.
It only had time to turn its head to take a look, only to realize that the stone statue had already walked to the center of the plaza and unleashed its might. It swept across a few Demonic Beasts and all of them died, while the Shamans' morale was high, and they blocked the other Demonic Beasts s that had recovered and prepared to escape.
In that moment, all the Demonic Beasts died.
The Kui Cow raised its head and looked at the two stone statues guarding the battlements.
A few black figures rapidly pounced down, and the violent air currents formed a tornado that swept across the plaza.
Without even looking, the stone statue punched the tornado, causing it to collapse, while the Bird Demons landed on the plaza. Bang!
Sou sou sou!
The Kui Cows and the other Demonic Beasts all charged onto the Bird Demons's back, and the Bird Demons soared into the sky to escape.
Seeing that, the stone statues all rushed forward, a few Demonic Beasts s were swept away by the huge palm and fell into the square, immediately falling into the encirclement of the Witch clan, and were killed in an instant.
The Kui Cow, on the other hand, rose dangerously high into the sky, escaping disaster.
Seeing that, Tang Zheng immediately picked up a lance from the ground and threw it with all his might. Sou, the lance pierced through the air, and the Bird Demons in the sky clearly stopped for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew unsteadily towards the west.
"It's too easy for it to escape like this." Tang Zheng said unwillingly.
When the other Demonic Beasts saw that their leader had escaped, they became even more panic-stricken and did not dare to resist. They all started to flee, but it was easy to get here, how could they possibly escape?
Under the encirclement of the stone statue and the witches, all the Demonic Beasts that had rushed in had been killed. Only the few Demonic Beasts outside the city saw that the situation was not good and turned around to run away to escape.
The Demonic Beasts was finally pushed back, and no one dared to believe this result. Originally, the Witch clan was facing a clan extermination disaster, they did not expect to turn the tide so quickly.
Everyone looked at the stone statue at the same time. This was all because of them joining the battle.
The guardian deity retreated back to the square and returned to his original position. He did not move at all, as if he had never moved at all.
The clan elder had already walked to Tang Zheng's side, raising his head to look at the stone statue, after a long while he sighed: "The guardian god is actually real."
When he first came to the Witch clan, he was already shocked by these four huge beings. After seeing their strength, he was even more shocked.
Just how strong were they that they could effortlessly eliminate all of the Demonic Beasts?
"Lord Envoy, how did you discover that they were activated without them just now?" The Elder came back to his senses and asked solemnly. This question was related to the survival of the Witch Clan.
Tang Zheng looked in the direction of the stone statue, and his gaze involuntarily landed on the mysterious lines. The middle of the lines were actually extremely clean, without a single trace of blood.
This was too abnormal. The entire square was covered in blood, and only within these mysterious patterns was there no blood. And at the end of these lines was the foot of the stone statue.
He immediately remembered the glimpse he had when they were fighting. There seemed to be a bloody light flickering on the stone statue. Could it be that the bloody light was sent over by these mysterious runes?
That must be it!
Tang Zheng told his judgment to the clan elder.
The elder's eyes lit up. "The blood of the Witch Clan can awaken the Guardian Gods. "I know. The ancestor of the Witch clan once said that the guardian gods protected the Witch clan from destruction. Just now, the Witch clan was almost annihilated, and a large amount of the Witch clan's blood was poured into the guardian god's body, waking them up and protecting the Witch clan."
Tang Zheng suddenly realised, so that was how it was. What kind of background did the Witch Clan have in the past, to have four guardian gods like them.
Where did these four guardian gods come from, and why were they protecting the Witch clan?
There were too many questions that he couldn't answer one by one. Tang Zheng's gaze towards the Guardian Gods became more and more profound, as if he wanted to pass through the endless river of history to go back to the Guardian Gods' source and find out exactly who they were.
"Elder, let's sweep the battlefield first and treat the wounded." Tang Zheng calmed himself down and said.
So, everyone started to move and cleaned up the battlefield, and this battle had a great loss for the Witch clan, with more than 100 people injured, and more than 20 people dead, which was definitely not a small loss for the Witch clan, who only had 500 people.
Everyone's expression gradually calmed down, becoming incomparably solemn. Seeing their tribe members who spent their days together with each other injured or turned into ice-cold corpses, everyone's emotions were a little down, but most of them were filled with rage. They were filled with undisguised anger towards the group of Demonic Beasts s that had suddenly attacked them.
The corpses of Demonic Beasts were also collected. They had met Demonic Beasts before, and even killed a few small Demonic Beasts, but they obviously did not have that many powerful Demonic Beasts.
Looking at the mountain of Demonic Beasts corpses, the Shaman Hunters started to get excited. These prey could only be found by chance and not sought after, because there were treasures everywhere on their bodies. For a long period of time in the future, these Demonic Beasts s could provide them with living necessities.
Moreover, it was not only that. Now that the seal had been broken, the Shamans could cultivate. The meat and inner pellets of these Demonic Beasts could help the Shamans increase their strength rapidly.
The elder and Tang Zheng had already returned to their rooms, both of their expressions were not at ease. Although the Demonic Beasts had been forced back, they still had to return.
Tang Zheng glanced at the little fellow on his shoulder. It was lying down lazily, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with it.
"Elder, our danger has not been completely eliminated." Tang Zheng said sincerely and sincerely.
The elder nodded his head: "What senior envoy said is true, this group of Demonic Beasts came from the Western Forbidden Grounds. All these years, the Demonic Beasts in Forbidden Grounds have never been touched on such a large scale.
Of course, Tang Zheng wanted to know their intentions.
"You said that the Forbidden Grounds is the tomb of an important person. Who exactly is that person to have so many Demonic Beasts stand guard over his grave?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
The elder shook his head and said regretfully, "There is very little information about the Forbidden Grounds. The Witch Clan's ancestor was only warning us not to go to the Forbidden Grounds because it is too dangerous, and what exactly it is like inside, and who that great figure is, we have no way of knowing."
"But the problem is that they've already come knocking. We can't just ignore them, right?" Tang Zheng said helplessly, "Although our restrictions have already been lifted, I feel that you all are not suitable to leave this Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, you all still want to live here, then the Demonic Beasts's trouble will be resolved."
"Why can't we leave here?" The elder asked curiously. Leaving Ten Thousand Huge Mountains was the wish of countless generations of the Witch Clan.
After Tang Zheng calmed down, he thought about it more. It was different from the past, the Witch Clan ancestor would never have imagined that the development of society today would be so fast, every day changing at a rapid pace. The Witch Clan was completely out of touch with society, with so many people appearing in the society, there was no doubt that they would attract attention.
Everything about the Shaman Tribe would be exposed in broad daylight, and everything about the Shaman Tribe would be too mysterious, even involving cultivators. If it was exposed, it would definitely cause panic among the martial artists, because there was no doubt that these hundreds of people would soon become cultivators.
It had been many years since such a large scale cultivator appeared in society, and the Witch Clan even had innate divine power. Tang Zheng probably couldn't imagine just how strong they would be in the future.
Therefore, the appearance of such a powerful force would definitely cause a chain reaction from all sides, and the most mysterious three major organizations in the world, the Martial Sect s, Li Sect s and Azure Dragon Palace s, would probably come out at full strength.
Even if there were people who didn't have much enmity towards cultivators, if they suddenly faced so many cultivators, these martial artists would join forces to fight against the Witch clan.
These mysterious organizations were not only powerful in their own right, but they were also closely connected to the state organs. At that time, the Witch Clan would attract many people to surround and annihilate them. That would be the true disaster for the Witch Clan.
When Tang Zheng told his own considerations to the elders, the elders were flabbergasted. They were shocked speechless for a long time, and they said: "The outside world has changed so much?"
The elders who had never taken a step out of this mountain in their entire lives were still unable to imagine the outside world, and were even more unable to imagine a cultivator disappearing from this world.
"Yes, that's why it's a disaster for you to leave the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains now. Moreover, the restrictions have been removed, so you can start cultivating now, the spiritual energy outside is sparse, and this place is filled with spiritual energy, your cultivation will increase by leaps and bounds every day. Once you reach a new level in your strength, it will not be too late to leave, then the witches will shine with bright light, and no one will be able to hurt the witches. "What's more, this is the witch clan's headquarters, and with the guardian deity here, your safety can be guaranteed."
Tang Zheng had experienced a few big battles and his power had increased by a lot, but he did not consider himself as the king of the heavens, especially in the outside world, his power was still too weak, he was not strong enough to protect the Shaman Tribe.
The elder pondered for a long time and was at a loss.
Boom! *
Suddenly, the door burst open. Ye Yuan hurriedly ran in, unable to hide the fear on his face.
