Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then shouted loudly.
"Black Tortoise, Spirit Serpent!"
Hiss! Roar!
The two beasts in the distance responded immediately and soon arrived in front of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning touched their heads and whispered.
"Now is the time when we need you."
Both the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Snake possess extremely strong physical defenses, making them impenetrable to ordinary weapons. They are the best first attackers, leading the charge while a large number of martial artists follow behind in the fray.
The black tortoise gave a muffled groan, which was taken as an agreement, while the spirit snake hissed as if it were saying something.
Jiang Ning laughed.
"Okay, I'll let you eat your fill after this is over."
Chapter 786: The Two Beasts Display Their Power
While on Mount Hua, the disciples always provided livestock to feed the spirit snake, but after leaving the mountain, such conditions were no longer available, and the spirit snake was constantly hungry. Although it did not throw a tantrum in front of Jiang Ning, it still felt aggrieved.
Now that it had received Jiang Ning's promise, the serpent's eyes showed a joyful expression, almost like an anthropomorphic look, before it followed the black tortoise.
The snake originally wanted to climb onto the black tortoise's back because it was too lazy to crawl, but the black tortoise turned its head and warned it, so the snake turned its head and moved a little distance away from the black tortoise.
"They're becoming more and more human-like."
Yue Buqun, who was standing to the side, laughed.
When Jiang Ning first subdued them, they could only understand a little human speech. Now they can fully understand, and their intelligence is quite high. They are also very perceptive. Apart from not being able to speak, they have made great progress.
As for the Xuan Turtle, although it is quite intelligent, it seems to have an extremely dull personality. It is usually silent and doesn't like to talk to people. It only becomes docile when it is facing Jiang Ning, unlike the Spirit Snake, which occasionally plays with the disciples of Mount Hua.
After receiving Jiang Ning's orders, the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent led the way, followed by a large number of martial arts practitioners.
……
"Why have those righteous people been gone for so long without making a move? Are they afraid?"
"Of course. Blackwood Cliff is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We occupy a favorable position, and no matter how many righteous people there are, they won't be able to get through."
"Now they're probably wondering what to do."
On the stone wall, several members of the Demonic Cult were chatting idly.
They were very confident in the terrain of Blackwood Cliff.
"Speaking of which, the righteous sects have already come to our doorstep, so why hasn't the sect leader shown up yet?"
"A member of the demonic cult asked in confusion."
Since learning that the righteous path was going to attack Pingding Prefecture, Yang Lianting had sent many people to Pingding Prefecture. He even said that the sect leader would personally go to guard it. But for some reason, the sect leader did not appear, and neither did Yang Lianting. Yang Lianting had not been seen for several days. If Tong Baixiong had not returned to take charge, they would probably have been in chaos.
Fortunately, after Tong Baixiong returned, he went to see the sect leader and told them that the sect leader was in seclusion and that they should hold Blackwood Cliff and wait for the sect leader to come out of seclusion so that they could wipe out this group of righteous people.
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
The other members of the demonic cult laughed upon hearing this.
"There's no need for the leader to intervene; we can stop them here and prevent them from advancing an inch."
"That's right. These so-called righteous sects were no match for my divine sect before. Now they only dare to come knocking because they have produced a terrestrial immortal. But so what? The sect leader is already a terrestrial immortal. Jiang Ning is no match for the sect leader, so what is there to fear?"
"This time we must teach them a lesson, so they know that even the current cult is not an enemy they can oppose."
While these members of the demonic cult were talking, they suddenly heard others shout.
"Look, what's that!"
The people who were talking immediately fell silent, looked closely, and their expressions changed drastically.
They saw a black tortoise, as large as a small mountain, and a spirit snake whose body seemed to stretch endlessly, approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
"These are the tortoise and snake beasts under Jiang Ning's command!"
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
Many people recognized him and immediately shouted.
All the members of the demonic cult drew their bows and nocked their arrows, and in an instant, a dense rain of arrows covered the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent.
Despite the rain of arrows falling from the sky, the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent did not slow down, completely ignoring the arrow rain.
The arrows struck the two beasts with a clanging sound, but couldn't even break their skin.
Seeing that their own arrow barrage was ineffective, the demonic cult members, who had just been so confident that the righteous path could not defeat them, were thrown into chaos and lost their previous confidence.
In just a moment, the serpent rushed over, its body crawling on the smooth stone wall. Then, the members of the demonic sect on the stone wall saw an enormous head appear before them.
Those vertical pupils radiated a cruel light, and the constantly flickering forked tongue seemed to emanate fear from them.
hiss!
The serpent launched the first attack, opening its blood-red maw to bite at the members of the demonic sect.
The black tortoise also arrived at the location, but the smooth stone wall prevented it from climbing up. The enraged black tortoise roared and stood upright, slamming its two huge front claws against the stone wall.
A crack suddenly appeared on the smooth stone wall, and the members of the Demonic Cult above were shaken and thrown into chaos.
Seeing that the spirit snake and the black tortoise had begun to fight, disrupting the demonic sect's ranks, the martial arts practitioners who had been waiting for a long time drew their weapons and rushed over.
"The guardian spirit beast under Master Jiang's command has opened a path for us, kill!"
"Eliminate the evil cult today!"
All the martial arts practitioners shouted, their battle cries shaking the heavens.
In no time, a martial arts master rushed to the stone wall, then used his lightness skill to leap onto it, and witnessed the scene of the spirit snake slaughtering wildly.
Screams echoed as the serpent tore and bit through the demonic cult members, its tail whipping relentlessly, breaking bones and tendons in the serpents it struck. The serpent's body coiled around and ravaged the demonic cult members it had encircled, leaving behind only severed limbs and a thick layer of flesh covering the ground.
"vomit!"
Those who witnessed this scene were so shocked by the imagery that they vomited.
Even their allies were terrified, while the opposing members of the demonic cult were already scared out of their wits and rendered powerless in the face of such a ferocious beast.
"kill!"
Fortunately, everyone was a member of the martial arts world. Although the scene was too bloody, they managed to recover and shouted, then charged forward to fight the demonic sect.
boom! boom! boom!
Beneath the stone wall, the enraged black tortoise continued to pound on the rock.
The black tortoise is taciturn but has a very violent temper. When it saw that it could not climb the stone wall because of its size, it furiously rammed the stone wall, displaying a very tyrannical aura.
By this time, the cracks on the stone wall were already numerous.
boom!
With another forceful slam from the black tortoise, the stone wall could no longer hold on, cracks spread, and it collapsed.
"what!!"
The members of the demonic cult who were on the stone wall lost their footing and fell to the ground, screaming in agony.
The group of demonic cult members lay on the ground groaning, when in the next second they saw a colossal creature staring at them, its murky eyes radiating a savage aura.
Before these members of the demonic sect could get up, the sky suddenly went dark above them, and the next second they were crushed into a pulp by the Xuan Turtle.
Roar!
The black tortoise raised its head and roared, its voice terrifying the demons.
"this………"
Those in the martial arts world who witnessed this scene were speechless with astonishment.
"The two guardian spirit beasts under Master Jiang's command are truly ferocious."
"Who says it's not?"
These two spirit beasts are extremely brutal; one can crush a person into a pulp, and the other is a terrain destroyer.
It's a real pain to have these cult members deal with them.
Chapter 787: Climbing to the Top of the Cliff
Under the onslaught of the Xuan Turtle, the Spirit Serpent, and a large number of martial arts reinforcements, the demonic sect members who had been lying in ambush here were quickly overwhelmed and began to scatter and flee.
Zhenshanzi and the masters from various schools were amazed by this scene.
Originally, if they had launched a direct assault, the battle would have resulted in heavy casualties, but the addition of the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent made the battle much easier.
These two ferocious beasts were simply devastating weapons; their ferocity amazed and envious the experts from all factions.
If only their sect had such a guardian spirit beast!
However, this idea is just wishful thinking; who among them could subdue such a ferocious beast?
Only Master Jiang could subdue them; otherwise, they would have become food for these two ferocious beasts long ago.
At this moment, the members of the Demonic Sect fled in disarray, running towards the Blackwood Cliff headquarters. The martial arts practitioners behind them kept chasing them, and before long, they caught up with them at the edge of a pool.
There were only a few small boats on the shore of the pool.
The fleeing members of the demonic cult, having been chased and losing their armor, scrambled onto the small boat and frantically rowed towards the opposite bank.
The other members of the demonic sect who were slower to react did not dare to delay and fell into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot, swimming towards the opposite bank.
"Help us!"
"The righteous path has arrived!"
"Help us!!"
The members of the evil cult who went into the water swam while calling for help from the opposite bank.
At their shouts, the members of the demonic cult on the other side appeared one after another.
"what happened!"
"Weren't you lying in ambush along the righteous path ahead? How did you end up being chased all the way here?"
Tong Baixiong shouted sternly at the followers in the water.
He was injured after returning from Pingding Prefecture and has been recuperating ever since.
"Elder Tong, they have monsters helping them, we can't stop them."
"Those two monsters are too ferocious; we are no match for them."
The believers in the water immediately shouted.
monster?
Upon hearing this, Tong Baixiong's expression darkened.
He thought of the two ferocious beasts in Jiangning.
The news of the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent displaying their divine power in the last battle against Ren Woxing's side has spread throughout the martial arts world. In addition, the recent battle in Pingding Prefecture also allowed him to witness the ferocity of those two beasts.
"Hurry up and save us!"
"They're coming after us!"
The members of the demonic cult, who were almost at the shore, shouted.
Tong Baixiong frowned and waved his hand.
“Pull him up.”
The order had barely been given, and before the other members of the demonic sect could react, a gigantic spirit snake appeared on the opposite bank.
Upon seeing the serpent on the opposite bank, the members of the Demonic Sect were filled with fear.
The martial arts practitioners who had pursued them were also stopped in their tracks by the pool of water in front of them.
