Chapter 134: The Alliance of the Demon Kings from the One Hundred and Eight Strongholds of the Taihang Mountains

"Ah!"

Chiyu let out a piercing shriek. Unable to maintain his human form any longer, he transformed directly into a massive Crimson Gold Crane, though his wings were already gone.

"Gu Sha, you base-born wretch! How dare you humiliate me so? I will make sure you die without a burial place!" Chiyu roared hysterically.

"Still running your mouth? Fine, then you won't be needing that beak anymore!"

Gu Sha grabbed Chiyu by his sharp beak.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a streak of light suddenly descended, manifesting into a flying sword that roared like a dragon. It emitted a brilliant, sharp light—unstoppable and impenetrable—slicing directly toward Gu Sha.

The one who had struck was Bai Feng, the War Emperor of the Flying Sword Sect.

"Hmph!"

Gu Sha let out a cold snort. He reached out one hand, caught the flying sword in mid-air, and hurled it back with force. It tore through the air like a shooting star, moving even faster than when it arrived, reflecting straight back at Bai Feng.

Bai Feng condensed his Source Energy into a formation to block the flying sword, but the immense force of the impact drove him back dozens of meters before he could barely come to a halt.

Meanwhile, Gu Sha tightened his grip on Chiyu’s beak and crushed it.

"Squeak..."

Chiyu emitted a primitive, shrill crane cry, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

"Stop, Gu Sha!"

At the same time, Lin Miaoyi and Wu Ji rushed over quickly. Seeing the wretched state of Chiyu on the ground, their faces darkened. Lin Miaoyi said in a deep voice, "Gu Sha, stop this now! Do you have any idea what a grave mistake you have made? Chiyu is a descendant of the gods from the Crimson Gold Crane clan and holds an exalted status among them. You... how could you wound him like this? Release him at once, and I may find a way to spare your life!"

Gu Sha slowly reached out his hand, and in an instant, his Tang saber flew into his grasp. He looked at Lin Miaoyi, who was floating in the air, and said coldly, "You all really think you're so noble, don't you?"

"Gu Sha!" Lin Miaoyi insisted, "We came from the lower realms to save you humans of Earth. You have great potential; do not ruin yourself. The universe is vast, and Earth is merely an insignificant little planet. Your strength may be decent, but what does it amount to in the grand scope of this universe? If you stop now, there is still room to maneuver!"

"Damn it!" Gu Sha cursed. "I wasn't even planning on killing this bird, but the way you talk makes me sick. People die, birds fly—I'll just kill one to break even!"

As the words left his lips, Gu Sha swung his blade. Chiyu’s head tumbled to the ground, and blood sprayed outward.

"You..." Lin Miaoyi’s eyes widened in shock. "You... you killed Chiyu... I... I saw your potential and wanted to save you, but now, no one can save you!"

"Do I look like I need you to save me?" Gu Sha scoffed. He pointed his Tang saber at the three of them and said, "Count them one by one—none of you are leaving here today!"

Lin Miaoyi and the others were left bewildered. Bai Feng, who had just arrived, asked suspiciously, "Gu Sha, what is the meaning of this?"

Gu Sha rose into the air and laughed, declaring loudly, "I mean that all you transcendents present today, congratulations: you’ve been kidnapped!"

No sooner had Gu Sha finished speaking than a fierce roar erupted from a dense forest in the Taihang Mountains. A deafening voice echoed: "Tian Xiong, the 13th Monster King of the Taihang Mountains!"

"Roar!"

At the same time, a bestial howl sounded from another direction, and a white lion the size of a small hill charged out. "Bai Shi, the 36th Monster King of the Taihang Mountains, brings three thousand of his beast kin to form an alliance!"

Thousands of beasts stampeded, causing the earth to tremble and the mountains to crack. Terrifying auras filled the range as dense swarms of wild beasts emerged from all directions, as if the world had turned into a kingdom of monsters.

"Moo!"

A massive bull, red as blood, roared, its voice carrying for over a hundred miles. Standing tens of meters tall and nearly eighty meters long, it charged out from a split mountain, wreathed in magma and fire.

"Li Huo, the 93rd Monster King of the Taihang Mountains, comes to form an alliance!"

"Qing Yuan, the 83rd Monster King of the Taihang Mountains, comes to form an alliance!"

"Li Huo, the 104th Monster King, the Nine-Tailed Fox of the Taihang Mountains, comes to form an alliance!"

"Hei Ya, the 9th Monster King of the Taihang Mountains, comes to form an alliance!"

"..."

Fierce beasts covered the mountains and plains, baring fangs and claws. With this flood of monsters appearing, mountains were shaken to their foundations. The ground was swarming with primordial beasts, avian predators blocked out the sky, and venomous insects lurked in the forests. The few thousand transcendents suddenly looked insignificant.

More importantly, the tens of thousands of exotic beasts were acting with organization and intent; the moment they appeared, they destroyed the fighter jets, grenade launchers, and other heavy weaponry, leaving the mountains ringing with constant explosions.

All the transcendents grew anxious.

Meanwhile, the global audience watching the live stream were in an uproar.

"How did he do it?"
"Has Gu Sha conquered the entire Taihang range?"
"So many exotic beasts, it’s terrifying!"
"Damn, the God of Slaughter is the GOAT!"
"Holy crap, this is blood-pumping!"
"Things have really blown up now!"

The three War Emperors facing Gu Sha were also dumbfounded.

Bai Feng of the Flying Sword Sect asked in a deep voice, "Gu Sha, what are you trying to do?"

"What am I doing?" Gu Sha laughed loudly. "I should be the one asking you that. The Taihang Mountains are my territory. You barged in without my permission, and now you ask me what I'm doing? Naturally, I'm collecting admission fees!"

With that, Gu Sha turned into a streak of light and charged at Lin Miaoyi and the others. The battle broke out instantly, a thunderous crash echoing in the sky as runes detonated.

In the mountains, chaos erupted.

A gorilla clutching a multi-ton boulder roared at the sky, "Brothers of the 108 Monster Kings, follow our boss and act on behalf of heaven! Let's show the world the might of our Taihang heroes!"

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

The dense pack of fierce beasts surrounded them from all sides. The transcendents turned pale. One hundred and eight Monster Kings—did that mean there were one hundred and eight Monster Kings in the Taihang Mountains? How the hell were they supposed to fight this?

"Rumble!" "Boom!"

In an instant, the Taihang Mountains were in upheaval. The ground was torn apart, trees were pulverized, and boulders the size of millstones fell like rain. The violent force swept through, leveling one mountain peak after another.

In the sky, Gu Sha was fighting three opponents at once, yet he held the absolute upper hand. Lin Miaoyi and the others were miserable. To their horror, they found that not only was their combat power inferior to Gu Sha’s, but even more absurdly, Gu Sha seemed to know their techniques better than they did themselves. Every move they made was countered instantly!

They had no way of knowing that in his future-predicting simulations, Gu Sha had already fought them no fewer than ten times. He knew their methods and combat capabilities by heart and had already calculated the perfect way to deal with each of them.

Three against one—no, one against three!
