Capítulo 445: Chapter 445: Hun Shang vs the Fox Saint

"Enemy attack!"

"Hurry! Summon the Temple Enforcement Team!"

"Notify the Temple Lord!"

"..."

With the resounding voice that echoed through the heavens and earth, the Wind and Snow Sacred Temple descended into chaos.

The guards stationed at the perimeter swiftly rushed towards the sky, forming a dense and spectacular display. However, upon closer observation, one could discern a certain pattern in their positions.

Hun Shang glanced at the powerful individuals approaching him and felt a stir in his heart. While he hadn't held the Wind and Snow Sacred Temple in high regard, he knew these magical beast clans were tough nuts to crack. If a fight broke out and they willingly destroyed the Eleven-Grade Snow Leaf White Lotus, things would take an unfavorable turn.

Therefore, Hun Shan believed it wise to eliminate a group of them first, displaying his strength and instilling a sense of deterrence.

With this thought in mind, a sinister smile crept onto his face. His robes fluttered without any breeze, emitting a rustling sound. His boundless and surging Dou Qi erupted from within him, instantly shrouding the sky in a black fog that dimmed the light across the entire plain.

In the Wind and Snow Sacred Temple, the sound of swallowing saliva resonated as numerous fearful gazes turned towards Hun Shang. The aura he emanated was truly beyond imagination, leaving those strong individuals feeling a sense of dread. Sensing the impending danger, they tried to retreat, but it was already too late.

Within the shroud of the oppressive black clouds, countless agonizing cries suddenly emerged. Faintly, it was even possible to glimpse numerous figures struggling within the dark clouds.

"Sky Demon Blood Gu, devour!"

As Hu Shang's chilling command resounded, the black clouds in the sky surged violently.

After a moment, a fiercely malevolent aura that seemed inhuman surged out from within the black clouds. In the midst of countless horrified gazes, streams of glaring blood-red light tore through the black clouds like thunderbolts. With a speed that defied comprehension, they crazily surged toward the formidable individuals of the Wind and Snow Sacred Temple in the sky.

"Thousand Ice Crystal Shield!"

Facing the rapidly enlarging blood-red light in their pupils, the sweat on the brows of those strong individuals began to bead, yet their reactions were not sluggish.

White and blue radiance enveloped each of them, followed by a series of deep sonic booms. Swiftly, these rays shot up into the sky, converging to form a colossal shield adorned with a snowflake emblem, spanning a thousand meters.

As soon as the shield took form, it collided with the crimson blood light!

Crack!

Struck fiercely by the blood light, the shield shattered instantly, and sounds of coughing up blood resounded. In the sky, numerous figures, both human and beast alike, fell like dumplings.

Observing this scene, the sense of fear in the hearts of the Wind and Snow Sacred Temple's people intensified.

The blood radiance showed no signs of stopping; it directly assaulted the fallen strong individuals, seemingly intending to capture them all at once.

"Sigh!"

A sigh echoed as a more powerful azure light emerged from below, forming a thin film that intercepted the blood radiance.

Boom!

A tremendous collision sound rang out, but this time the thin film remained intact.

All the blood radiance was repelled, converging around Hun Shang to form something akin to a hideous blood frog, but with a dark red hue. On its surface, numerous bulging masses of flesh were covered in a grotesque array of human faces.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Saint tore through space and stood face to face with Hun Shang. His gaze focused on the eerie and fearsome blood frog. Fox Saint's expression turned somewhat grim, thinking to himself. 'It's actually a Soul Gu Frog. This guy's methods are truly ruthless, no wonder he came up here intending to massacre our Wind and Snow Sacred Temple...'

Below, Xiao Ming's brow furrowed slightly; he too recognized the Soul Gu Frog.

This frog was rumored to be a fusion of countless souls, inducing them to clash and intertwine. Combined with specific materials, it could be refined into the formidable Soul Gu Frog. Although resembling a puppet to some extent, it retained a measure of intelligence through the forced amalgamation of myriad souls.

However, this intelligence was dominated by its ferocity. Once released, it would rampage crazily, even to the point of eventually turning against its master. Thus, this Soul Gu Frog was generally refined by individuals with exceedingly vicious methods.

Within the Wind and Snow Sacred Temple, not everyone knew exactly what this creature was, but its overtly malevolent aura left a visible mark of disgust and fear on the faces of those who looked upon it.

Unperturbed by the gazes of others, Hun Shang merely smirked, fixing his gaze mockingly on the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint.

"Jie jie, you've finally shown up. I thought I'd need to eradicate all your descendants before you dared to appear."

The Nine-Tailed Fox Saint's gaze remained fixed on the elderly figure before him. His appearance was as withered as bones, clad in gray robes. His desiccated countenance bore an unsettling smile, and ghostly flames flickered in his eye sockets, exuding an eerie light. Under that scrutinizing gaze, it almost felt like even the soul itself was pricked by a faint sensation of pain.

To elicit such a feeling in him, the opposing party's strength must far surpass his.

A four-star Dou Saint!

Realizing the opponent's strength, the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint had no intention of backing down. He asked with a cold tone, "The Fallen Spirit Ice Source has had no contact with the outside world. Why did you attack our Wind and Snow Sacred Temple?"

"Why? Jie jie, naturally for the Eleven-Grade Snow Leaf White Lotus. Hand it over, and I'll leave without troubling your Wind and Snow Sacred Temple. Otherwise, your temple won't need to exist any longer," Hun Shang responded with a chilling laugh.

Despite the anger evident in the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint, Hun Shang paid it no heed. He had already made up his mind. He would bring clan experts the next time to slaughter the Wind and Snow Sacred Temple and not spare any hidden forces in the Fallen Spirit Ice Source.

In their thousand-year plan, these secluded and powerful races were all on the list. Their demise was only a matter of time, even if it was advanced by three to five years; it wouldn't matter much.

Had it not been for the risk of letting someone escape if he acted alone, he would have struck already.

Upon hearing the name Eleven-Grade Snow Leaf White Lotus again, the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint's expression remained unchanged.

"Our Wind and Snow Sacred Temple does not possess the Eleven-Grade Snow Leaf White Lotus. I warn you, do not harbor designs on our temple for the sake of this nonexistent item. Otherwise, even if you are from the Hun Clan, I shall strip away a layer of your flesh in retribution!" As the Fox Saint spoke, a sinister undertone colored his demonic face.

He held considerable dissatisfaction towards the Hun Clan, these eerie and ghostly figures. Were it not for his superior strength and the backing of the Hun Clan, he would have acted long ago!

Hun Shang paid no heed to the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint's words. Seeing that the Fox Saint refused to surrender the Snow Leaf White Lotus, he responded casually, "Whether you say it or not, it's irrelevant. The old me will investigate your temple before discussing it further."

Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint flared up in anger.

"You dare!"

"Why wouldn't I? Attack!"

Hun Shang pointed towards the nearby Nine-Tailed Fox Saint, prompting the Soul Gu Frog to once again surge forth.

Without further ado, the two clashed fiercely amidst the numerous onlookers.

Even though their battle occurred at a distance, the clash between Dou Saint-level experts emitted overwhelming waves of energy, generating an oppressive bell-like resonance that weighed heavily on many chests.

While the Soul Gu Frog restrained the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint, Hun Shang covertly struck with each opportunity, his moves merciless and precise, targeting the Fox Saint's vital points. Clearly, if the opportunity arose to kill the Fox Saint, he wouldn't hesitate to seize it.
