The struggle for Pangu's blood was exceptionally fierce, reducing vast mountain ranges to flattened plains and turning many areas into scorched earth.
Despite her harmless appearance, Sha Wu possessed formidable combat power. Snatching the jade bottle containing Pangu's blood from the jaws of danger, she managed to hold her ground against the combined assault of over a dozen deities.
Of course, she paid a heavy price. Her small face was pale, and crimson blood seeped from the corners of her mouth, indicating she was severely wounded.
What was worse, she was surrounded and trapped.
"Master, don't mind me. Take the Pangu's blood and break through alone. Later, you can kill all these bastards and avenge me."
During the continuous battles, Dracula, due to his lower cultivation, had been singled out for "special attention." His white shirt was stained crimson with blood, and he bore multiple wounds.
In his current state, he had become a liability, only hindering Sha Wu.
If Sha Wu abandoned him, she could still carve a bloody path and break free from the encirclement.
"Don't talk such nonsense. Even the God King couldn't do anything to me, so why would I fear these insignificant pests?"
Sha Wu's gaze was resolute, her pride soaring. Her blood surged like mountains and seas as she led Dracula towards the entrance.
Her intention was clear: no matter what, she would bring Dracula out of Xuanyuan Cave alive; she would not abandon him.
Dracula's eyes welled up with emotion. He understood that Sha Wu was saying this because she couldn't bear to leave him behind. However, the situation was dire, and he feared he would drag Sha Wu down to her death.
Just as he hardened his resolve, preparing to end his own life to avoid implicating Sha Wu, he heard Sha Wu utter a confused sound.
"Strange, as we were fighting, two of the main gods who were attacking us have disappeared."
Her pressure immediately lessened, and hope flickered.
Dracula ceased his suicidal thoughts. His lips moved, emitting silent sounds that spread in all directions.
This was his unique sonic divine ability, capable of dispelling all concealment techniques. He feared the two main gods might be ambushing them stealthily.
However.
Soon, he showed a look of surprise, as he found no one deliberately hiding their presence. Moreover, the number of gods attacking them had inexplicably decreased by one more.
"Could it be that these three retreated out of fear of Master's strength? But that shouldn't be the case. These three bastards were the most vicious and aggressive attackers, and they had the upper hand. There's no reason for them to inexplicably disengage from the battle?"
Dracula was utterly perplexed, feeling that there must be a conspiracy.
This had to be a trap set by the enemy, an attempt to feign retreat and then launch a sudden, fatal assault when their guard was down.
Sha Wu also sensed something was amiss, but her strategy remained unchanged: retreat towards the entrance while fighting. Regardless of any schemes or tricks, once outside, she would have the freedom to escape with Dracula.
Nothing could simply vanish without a reason.
Deities were no exception.
The three missing main gods had met with foul play.
The perpetrator was Ji Hanhan.
The commotion caused by the battles between deities was too great, successfully attracting his attention, so he rushed over.
Seeing so many gods ganging up on Sha Wu and Dracula, he took a strong liking to the little white-haired girl and naturally couldn't stand by idly.
With Ji Mo's strength, there was no need for stealth.
But who could resist the joy of being a sly fox?
Thus, he secretly dealt with two main gods in quick succession, eliminating them.
He then used the Five-Colored Divine Light technique, silently sweeping away the third victim.
This was a terrifying crocodile, an ancient exotic beast, over a thousand meters long, its entire body forged from divine metal, shimmering with a gem-like luster.
One moment the crocodile was chasing Sha Wu, the next it found itself in a different location, having been remotely seized by Ji Mo.
"Who are you, daring to ambush and attack me? You must be tired of living."
The crocodile was initially somewhat flustered, but upon seeing Ji Mo's appearance, it immediately puffed up its tail.
As a main god-level existence, it looked down on everyone except the God King and a few special beings. It had never put anyone in its eyes.
Ji Mo sized up the large crocodile before him, smacking his lips. "You're the one tired of living. That little Sha Wu is under my protection. If you dare to touch her, you're in trouble."
"Haha, do you know who I am?" The crocodile revealed a cruel smile, surprised that someone would dare speak to it in such a manner.
This brat seemed brainless, not realizing he had provoked a terrifying existence he shouldn't have.
Ji Mo nodded. "You? You're a dish."
The crocodile sneered. "Indeed, the ignorant are fearless. A mere human, a crawling insect, daring to speak to me like this. I will devour you alive."
As soon as it finished speaking, it opened its massive maw and ferociously lunged at Ji Mo, intending to tear him to shreds and devour him.
The crocodile was truly terrifying. Its gaping mouth flashed with cold light, divine radiance blinding, and its densely packed teeth sent shivers down one's spine.
"Yes, the ignorant can truly be fearless. If you had any brains, you should have asked who I am first."
Ji Mo clenched his fist and threw a punch, which exploded like a celestial sun.
*Bang...*
The crocodile's mouth met the fist, its entire jaw instantly dislocated, and all its teeth shattered.
A hundred miles away.
The fair-skinned, beautiful, black-stocking-clad chosen one, Ellie, was cautiously walking through the dense forest.
Suddenly, a strong wind whistled, and something fell from the sky, landing directly in front of her.
Ellie was startled, clutching her bouncing chest and gasping for breath. She had nearly died.
Then, she let out a scream, "What is this? The Crocodile God's molar?!"
Upon discovering the bloody, broken tooth, half of which was taller than her, Ellie almost collapsed in terror.
She was Thor's chosen one and had the fortune to meet the owner of this tooth. Even Thor revered the ancient Crocodile God, whose body was said to be indestructible, impervious even to the God-Slaying Sword.
How could its hardest tooth now be broken by someone!
Ellie was stunned. Even the God King probably couldn't chip that crocodile god's tooth. What kind of terrifying existence could achieve such a feat?
She shuddered at the thought, her body turning cold, her hair standing on end. She just wanted to leave this place quickly.
"Ah..."
The crocodile let out a piercing scream.
What kind of monster was this, so terrifying?
If that punch had landed on its head, there was no doubt it would have been instantly decapitated.
"You... Who exactly are you?"
It was utterly terrified, trembling and stammering its question.
Ji Mo bared his teeth and smiled. "In your Western lands, they seem to call me the Butcher of Foolish Gods."
The crocodile's eyes instantly went black, its mind a blank slate.
It was over. It had encountered the master of the legendary Foolish God Slaughterhouse.
Just as it was about to beg for mercy, Ji Mo gave it no chance, beating it half to death and collecting it into the Moon God Ring.
Afterward, Ji Mo repeated his tactic, continuing to wreak havoc on the unfortunate deities surrounding Sha Wu.
"Huh? Where did those most disgusting guys go? Why have they all inexplicably disappeared?"
Sha Wu was full of questions. She noticed that half of the gods attacking her were gone, and they were the most troublesome ones.
These fellows had vanished into thin air, which was too bizarre.
The situation had reversed. She now held the advantage, her gaze becoming sharp. Confident that she could defeat all her enemies, she decisively unleashed her full power and counterattacked.
Red Spider had invested immense effort in setting up a massive trap, intending to capture Sha Wu and the other gods after they had weakened each other.
After completing the preparations, it returned to survey the current battle situation and was dumbfounded.
Previously, Sha Wu was being chased by a group of gods. Now, Sha Wu was chasing and beating a group of gods.
Something felt wrong, but there was no need to dwell on it. All it needed was to lure them into the trap to eliminate them all.
Just as Red Spider was about to act, Ji Mo spotted it.
"Oh, this sly fox has shown itself. Let's get it..."
