Chapter 260: Chapter 258: There Is a Price to Pay for Wanton Slaughter

Meanwhile, Shen Yue and Huang Ziyue were not spared either.

As the Purple Rabbit’s terrifying power descended, everyone found their bodies uncontrollably frozen in place.

Amid the roiling heat, the vital blood of the Dragon Guard, Wu Huo, and the others began to seep visibly from their bodies...

Wu Huo cried out in alarm, "This is bad! It’s feeding on our blood!"

Huang Ziyue immediately tried to erect a spiritual power Barrier.

But it was too late. The spiritual power within him felt suppressed, and he couldn’t summon it at all!

The same was true for Bai Chaosi. He narrowed his eyes.

"What’s happening? My spiritual power is suppressed!"

Watching their own bodies bleed uncontrollably, the Dragon Guard and the members of the Mystic Mechanism Building began to panic.

They had never encountered such a terrifying scene before!

Shen Yue’s gaze darkened.

"It holds half of my Vitality Power. Of course you can’t use your spiritual power!"

Wisps of red, thread-like blood began to weave together in mid-air, drawn as if by a powerful suction toward the body of the giant beast above.

Even Huang Ziyue and Bai Chaosi began to bleed, their own vital blood seeping out.

Furthermore, in the blink of an eye, mists of blood began to rise from the rooftops of the villages below the slope!!

The threads of red blood floated in mid-air, casting an exceptionally eerie pall over the land.

A bloody mist seemed to permeate the air, dyeing the entire sky red!

Shen Yue had no time to think. At this rate, the Purple Rabbit’s power would drain the entire city dry!

She grabbed the bell and leaped into the air!

Bai Chaosi cried out in alarm, "Shen Yue, where are you going?"

Everyone looked up, trembling, and saw the figure in red standing poised in mid-air.

Her dress billowed, and her ink-black hair whipped about.

She was like a celestial goddess descended to the mortal realm. Fearless of terror, unafraid of death, she stood above them all, like a pillar supporting the very earth.

The giant beast in mid-air seemed to spot the woman standing far below.

Its slitted, blood-red pupils, glowing with a ghastly, bloodthirsty light, locked onto Shen Yue.

Hot breath snorted from its nostrils, stirring up gusts of wind. It seemed to want to turn every living creature within its sight into its next meal.

To make all creation bow at its feet!!

But just then, Shen Yue appeared. Tilting her head back, she met the colossus’s gaze across the distance.

"Rabbit, there is a price to be paid for wanton slaughter!"

The beast seemed stunned that someone would dare to challenge its authority.

Its blood-red eyes swiveled. The heatwaves around it intensified, and an oppressive pressure, heavy as a mountain, bore down.

It swore to crush this woman who dared defy its majesty into pulp!

It lifted a claw, like a steel blade raised in the night, and swiped at Shen Yue.

Despite its mountain-like size, its movements were not clumsy in the slightest. On the contrary, it was incredibly fast!

A glint in her eye, Shen Yue leaped into the air.

Just as the steel-like claw was about to find its mark, slicing through the air and churning the currents around it, she instantly dodged past the sweeping blade.

She appeared between its razor-sharp talons!

The talons glinted with a cold light as Shen Yue weaved back and forth between them.

Her agile figure made the hearts of Huang Ziyue and the others below leap into their throats.

They couldn’t understand what she intended to do by going up there at a time like this!!

No matter how powerful she was, she couldn’t possibly move a behemoth capable of swallowing the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

Missing its first strike only made the beast more furious.

It raised its other claw and swiped at her again.

This time, it was even faster!

The steel-like claws carried a gale-force wind, and their power was so immense that the very air around them seemed to tear.

The slightest carelessness would mean being swept into the gale and torn to shreds!

From far below, Bai Chaosi shouted in alarm:

"Look out!!"

Huang Ziyue clenched his fists, his eyes glued to the scene above. The heaving of his chest betrayed his intense anxiety.

But at the very instant the claw descended, she seemed to seize the perfect moment and dodged again.

As the claw swept past, she used its momentum to launch herself, planting a foot on the massive appendage.

Her body shot like a cannonball through the giant claws.

She continued upward, landing on the back of the beast’s massive paw.

Then, she began to climb up its forelimb, heading for its thick arm.

But the creature’s fur was incredibly stiff. Each hair stood on end like a sharp needle, making it impossible for Shen Yue to find a foothold.

But she had to get up there!

Missing twice, and now letting its opponent climb up its arm, sent the beast into a fiery rage.

Its blood-red eyes blazed with fury, fixed on the woman who was ceaselessly leaping and climbing up its forearm.

It threw its head back. The massive nostrils above its tri-lobed lip looked like two black holes, snorting out heavy blasts of hot air, a clear sign of its fury.

Then, it suddenly opened its cavernous, blood-red maw, raised its forearm, and let out a shrill roar right at Shen Yue.

The roar tore through the heavens, its terrifying sonic waves seemingly capable of shattering a person’s body on impact.

The world shook.

The blast of hot air, mixed with spittle, slammed toward Shen Yue and the ground below like a category-ten gale.

Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass remained!

On the ground, Huang Ziyue, Bai Chaosi, and the others were instantly swept up by this terrifying force and sent flying.

Dust and debris filled the air as the shockwave sent the surrounding mountainsides crumbling down!

"RUMBLE—!!"

The tremendous roar shook the heavens!

From the town below, a cacophony of screams arose. The lights of countless homes were extinguished in an instant, and buildings toppled.

It was as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped... The shockwave shattered everything!!

When the terrifying power finally dissipated,

The beast stared with its blood-red eyes, searching carefully for any trace of Shen Yue.

Seeing no sign of the woman on its colossal body, it rolled its blood-red eyes, an expression of triumph seeming to cross its face...

Meanwhile, several hundred meters away, Huang Ziyue and the others had been slammed to the ground. The blow had all but shattered their internal organs.

Their robes had been torn to shreds, and their bodies were covered in wounds.

But every drop of blood that flowed from them turned into a crimson thread and drifted upward!

Their vital blood was draining away rapidly.

But neither of them paid any mind to their pain. As the dust settled, they stared intently into the sky, desperate to see that familiar figure.

But after several breaths,

The blood mist above grew thicker and thicker, but there was still no sign of Shen Yue.

Bai Chaosi, still on the ground, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

As if defying gravity, the crimson blood formed into threads that automatically floated upward.

The sky was now a sheet of scarlet, a veritable Human Purgatory...

His eyes were filled with panic as he searched everywhere for her.

"Shen Yue? Where did Shen Yue go?"

The crimson haze blurred his vision. His eyes bloodshot, fear once again consumed his heart..

Nearby, Huang Ziyue forced himself to stand, enduring the agony. Clad in rags, he had never been in such a sorry state..

His dark red eyes were glued to the sky..

’She’ll be alright...’

’I can feel it... the power of the Dragon Feather is still there...’

’That means Shen Yue must still be alive...’

’I can’t let my mind wander. I can’t...’

But time ticked by.

Nothing. There was no sign of Shen Yue anywhere.

Only the sky-filling blood mist, like the end of the world had come...

Just as Huang Ziyue’s breath had slowed to a near standstill...

And just as the beast thought the bothersome woman had finally vanished, leaving it free to gorge on the vital blood...

"JINGLE~"

"JINGLE-LING~"

The sharp, hurried ring of a bell, so faint it seemed to come from the edge of the sky...

It seemed to pierce its body and strike directly at its soul.

It shuddered violently and pricked up its ears.

"JINGLE-LING-LING~~"

The sound seemed to be drawing nearer...

Moreover, the ringing seemed to suppress its power...

The murky chaos in its mind began to clear.

Down on the ground, Huang Ziyue and Bai Chaosi’s eyes went wide.

Because they saw her!!

Ten thousand meters up, a tiny figure—a single drop in the vast ocean—stood atop the giant beast’s head...

She stood poised, her red dress fluttering.

In her upraised hand was a golden bell, which she shook rhythmically with a twist of her wrist...
