Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 397: Chapter 39: The Monster’s Rations

”Oh no...”

The first batch of Evil Sect cultivators that descended were immediately hit by a barrage of copper coins, screaming in agony as they fell.

It was as if dumplings were being dropped into a pot, with cultivators continuously falling down, either being half-dead from the barrage of copper coins or suffering severe injuries from the fall.

”Everyone, take out your magical artifacts and counterattack!”

Seeing the situation, Tu Xingsun quickly called for their people to swiftly retaliate.

Various bizarre magical artifacts were thrown out continuously—blades, spears, swords, halberds, zithers, lutes, drums, bells, pots, bowls, and even pans...

Wait a minute, why are there pots and pans here?

Tu Xingsun glanced back and saw an Evil Cultivator dressed as a cook had just thrown out his beloved magical artifact, only to be pounded into mush by hundreds of copper coins before he could even fully utilize it.

Below, after seeing the copper coins in their junior brother’s hands fully thrown out, the cultivator in charge of commanding immediately shouted loudly, ”Turtle Shell Squad, step up. Copper Coin Squad, retrieve your artifacts on the spot and wait for the next wave of attack.”

Sure enough, after he spoke, the original team quickly retreated, replaced by a new batch of cultivators coming forward. Each threw out small turtle shells, which, after casting a seal, enlarged, forming a human wall that just managed to withstand the Evil Cultivators’ counterattack.

A chaotic clatter ensued.

In this brief skirmish, the Evil Sect didn’t gain the slightest advantage, instead losing about a hundred cultivators first.

Tu Xingsun knew they couldn’t continue like this and quickly waved his hands,

Two earth dragons rose from beneath the feet of the Celestial Secret Tower cultivators, instantly scattering their formation. In their rolling, they thrashed and swung their heads before doubling back, charging into the mass of cultivators.

In an instant, the advantageous situation of the Celestial Secret Tower cultivators was utterly destroyed. Tu Xingsun, while attacking, shouted at his people, ”What are you waiting for? Attack them!”

Above, the battle was already intense.

The eight from Celestial Secret Tower, combining forces, relentlessly pushed the stitching monster from underground to the sky.

Seeing no shadows around to aid its maneuver, the eight regrouped at one place.

Ten Thousand Thunder!

Under the convergence of spiritual power, thunderclouds shrouded the sky above, and under the immense pressure, the stitching monster turned to flee.

”Isn’t this thing a corpse? How does it seem to have become conscious, knowing to dodge?”

”It can’t escape!”

Elder Tong arrived late, instantly appearing within a hundred meters with a step.

The turtle shell in his hand grew as it was released into the wind, rapidly enlarging and flying towards the stitching monster.

The stitching monster, with several blows, merely batted it away but couldn’t do anything to the turtle shell. After several attempts, the turtle shell seized the opportunity to leap forward, covering the head of the stitching monster from above.

Not long after, it seemed like a vest fitting onto its body.

Seeing the success, Elder Tong immediately performed a spell, remotely controlling the turtle shell. What should have been a life-saving tool at this moment became a binding magical treasure.

The turtle shell continually shrank, seemingly about to crush it to bits, while the stitching monster, using its physical body, persistently resisted, engaging in a continuous tug-of-war.

”Quickly, take action.”

Elder Tong, seeing the situation, maintained a firm grip on suppressing the opponent’s actions, then loudly urged his fellow disciples.

In mid-air, the lightning had already taken shape.

”Kill!”

Under the Imperial Decree of the Tower Master of Celestial Secret Tower, the Thunder Pool poured forth, and at this moment, heaven and earth turned dim.

The stitching monster, fixed tightly in place, was engulfed all at once by the lightning in the blink of an eye.

The booming continued nonstop, and the Thunder Pool kept rolling over. Even the cultivators fighting below were so shocked by this terrifying scene that they stopped.

Watching this from below, Tu Xingsun’s face drastically changed. If this monster was killed, there would be no one to hold back the upper echelons of the Celestial Secret Tower. Then it would be their turn, the small fry, to be in trouble.

At that moment, he was already quietly retreating to the side.

Not reliable! My Lord Black Cloak.

The monster that just a moment ago was so confident and arrogant, how come it’s now being slaughtered without resistance?

He originally hoped the monster could lead them to raze the Celestial Secret Tower, rather than have the Celestial Secret Tower wipe them out instead.

”What’s this?”

At this time, a cultivator from the Celestial Secret Tower suddenly felt a chill on his face, thinking it was raining. But when he reached out to wipe his face, he was stunned. What’s this black, sticky stuff?

Not only he noticed it, but everyone in the ravine looked up as small black rain drizzled down, endlessly pouring from the Thunder Pool.

”Ah...”

Suddenly, a disciple of the Celestial Secret Tower screamed and fell to the ground, triggering a chain reaction—one after another.

Once the black raindrops touched someone, they seemed to come alive and darted directly into the cultivator’s nose and mouth.

What on earth is this thing, Tu Xingsun watched clearly. This wasn’t rain, it was clearly a living creature.

Just moments ago, a blob of the falling black substance wriggled and bounced towards him.

If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, he might have been trapped by these things.

Now, hearing the screams, he looked up and was immediately struck with terror.

The cultivators, whether from the Celestial Secret Tower or Evil Cultivators, who were invaded by the black entities, all turned into shriveled figures in an instant.

As they fell, they quickly turned into dried corpses, their vitality utterly drained and dead with no sound.

Sss!

Seeing this, Tu Xingsun gasped. Such a scene was too eerie and terrifying.

Beside him, one cultivator after another fell, both those from the Celestial Secret Tower and their own people.

This black rain did not distinguish between friend and foe; its sole target was cultivators.

”How is that possible!”

Above, Elder Tong was the first to notice something was wrong; as the black rain fell, he immediately spoke out.

”This thing is strange, quickly stop.”

But it was already too late. In the Thunder Pool, most of the stitched monster’s body had been destroyed, and black liquid flowed incessantly from its severed limbs.

The liquid seemed to have a life of its own; the first thing it did upon leaving the body was to flee downwards.

Fist-sized blobs of liquid jumped out of the mutilated corpse, bearing the brunt of the Thunder Pool, only to be instantly blasted into countless raindrops by lightning arcs striking them.

The crowd watched in horror as the raindrops fell, realizing the stitched monster hid other monsters within!

In less than a quarter-hour, four to five hundred cultivators from both sides had fallen.

Tu Xingsun’s spine was already cold from fear, shocked by his guess that this might truly be the hidden scheme!

”Get inside the turtle shell!”

A giant turtle shell descended from the sky, Elder Tong standing on it with a stern face, shouting loudly.

Another elder turned over a rapidly enlarging bamboo tube from the sky, instantly collecting a group of disciples within.

The remaining disciples finally snapped out of their daze and hurriedly escaped into the turtle shell.

With the Celestial Secret Tower disciples gone, the black liquid’s target immediately shifted entirely to this group of Evil Path cultivators.

Of the remaining seven to eight hundred people, in just a moment, half were gone.

The remaining half were all pale-faced, and one Divine Gaze Realm cultivator looked severely grim as he cursed at Tu Xingsun, ”Damn you, ground rat, you didn’t even plan to spare us.”

The situation left them no choice but to think that the wicked creature Tu Xingsun released wasn’t meant to spare them either.

Tu Xingsun himself stunned, never imagining things would turn out this way. The task he received was merely to bring this thousand-strong team here, but definitely not to their deaths.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed again in his mind.

”... You will definitely regret opening it!”

Shit!

He instantly felt uneasy, wondering if they were really just fodder?

But how could this possibly benefit the master... that wretched entity?

Before he could figure it out, the Divine Gaze Realm cultivator turned and raised his arm in a call, ”Everyone run, Tu Xingsun brought us here to die.”

What was already a chaotic scene became even more disorderly due to these words, with each Evil Cultivator fleeing awkwardly.

Below, masses of black liquid crawled out from withered corpses, densely packed.

”Argh!”

Suddenly, innumerable liquids simultaneously split open to emit a sharp, gigantic sound.

The numerous cultivators who had just taken flight instantly froze in their faces, and their forms fell down awkwardly.

Tu Xingsun’s mind similarly went blank for a moment, and when he recovered, he witnessed a horrifying scene.

The ground was covered in cultivators swept by the black liquid; wherever the shadow passed, it was nothing but dried corpses.

At this speed, even locusts crossing the border couldn’t compare.

After consuming the remaining Evil Path cultivators, the black monsters still showed no intention of stopping.

An even more jaw-dropping scene appeared.

They began to devour each other!

Monster after monster launched attacks against their kin, the black sea rolling and surging like restless waves.

One black figure continued to rise taller and grow larger.

It eventually filled the entire mountain ravine.

Tu Xingsun couldn’t help but swallow hard, staring at the mountainous-sized monster in front of him, with a chill running down his spine.

Oh my! This was the real hidden hand.

How could he not comprehend by now; that the master who ordered him to bring the monster and a thousand small cultivators to take down the Celestial Secret Tower had no intention of relying on this group of minor characters for accomplishments.

They were merely fodder for the monster, food to make the monster grow stronger.

Damn it, I’m not sticking around.

After gritting his teeth, Tu Xingsun’s mind made a decision, readying to escape, but just as he rose halfway, the mountain suddenly moved, and dozens of black pythons emerged from the monster, opening their bloody maws and lunging.

Arise!

An Earth Dragon rose from the ground in haste, trying to shield his form, but in just a few breaths, the Earth Dragon was bitten to shreds.

Tu Xingsun gritted his teeth again, this time summoning eight Earth Dragons simultaneously.

But they lasted mere moments.

No escape to heaven, no refuge to earth...

Tu Xingsun gazed at the ground, displaying a look of utter despair, eyes on the approaching pythons, streaming tears, facing either death or exhaustion...

He chose the latter, diving into the soil with tears streaming down his face...
