At the moment when Zhao Shaohua locked eyes with the wooden statue of Nuwa, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, horrified to the extreme, and was almost speechless. Xiao Meize noticed her abnormality and immediately turned his head, locking eyes with the statue of Nuwa. Without hesitation, he drew the short sword he carried with him, and with a flick of his arm, the short sword shot towards the wooden statue like lightning.
Soon after, a powerful demonic energy surged out from the wooden statue, instantly enveloping the entire temple.
Xiao Meize and Zhao Shaohua, as well as the remaining Taoist priests, were pushed back several meters by this force, almost falling over.
With a loud bang, the wooden statue shattered, and a strong energy wave tore through the air, surging like a tide.
Just as they were still regaining their balance, the fragments of the wooden statue suddenly spun in the air and formed a huge monstrous figure, with blood-red eyes that seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
The creature, resembling a leopard but with three eyes and six claws, let out a deafening roar. Its gaze was filled with ferocity, as if it wanted to tear everyone apart.
"Everyone be careful! It looks like a monster is here!" Xiao Meize reminded everyone with a grim expression on his face, showing a very vigilant look and making a defensive posture.
Zhao Shaohua frowned, feeling a chill down her spine involuntarily. The monstrous aura emitted by the creature was too strong, even for her optimistic nature, she felt a sense of oppression.
"Finally, a human has come again. Haha, it's been so lonely here!" The monster laughed loudly, its voice hoarse and menacing, as if coming from the depths of hell, seemingly very excited about the appearance of a human.
"This monster can actually speak human language? It seems it's not an ordinary monster!" Xiao Meize's eyes became extremely sharp, and the sword in his hand was unsheathed, its light piercing through the air with great power.
"You beast! How dare you act tyrannically within the territory of the dynasty!" The Taoist priests shouted angrily, brandishing their respective magical instruments and launching attacks against the monster.
Zhao Shaohua She couldn't help but shiver, but in that moment, an unnamed courage surged within her. She suppressed her fear, reached out her hand, and spoke with a soft yet steady voice: "No matter who you are or why you're here, I won't let you continue to destroy this land and harm innocent people!"
The monster's laughter became even more ferocious after hearing Zhao Shaohua's words. "Hahaha, innocent? You humans have invaded our territory, so it serves you right to be eaten as food. What innocence are you talking about?"
Xiao Meize gave a colder look and said to Zhao Shaohua in a low voice, "This monster has lost its sanity, talking to it is useless. We can only destroy it."
After speaking, Xiao Meize suddenly thrust his sword forward, and a sword light pierced towards the monster like a meteor.
The monster, seeing the sword light approaching, immediately swung out its huge claws to block it. At the moment of impact, the air seemed to be torn apart by the sword energy and monster energy, creating a violent shockwave. The surrounding leaves and dust were swept into it, forming a whirlwind swirling around the two.
Xiao Meize A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes, the sword light flashed, aiming directly at the vital point of the monster. However, the sword light passed through the monster as if piercing into the void.
The monster laughed heartily, revealing rows of sharp teeth, "Do you think you can kill me like this?"
The remaining Taoist stood guard on the side, suddenly took out a string of Buddhist beads, and chanted a mantra. A beam of Buddha's light instantly shone on the monster.
The monster cried out in pain, its form becoming blurry, clearly affected.
"Now you should know that we're not easy to mess with!" Xiao Meize taunted.
The monster howled in pain, but a sly smirk flashed in its eyes: "Do you really think this can deal with me?"
Before the words had even finished, the demon's body suddenly shrank and turned into a black mist, instantly flying in front of Zhao Shaohua, as if to devour her.
"Be careful!" Xiao Meize shouted.
Suddenly, a sword energy slashed through the black mist. The black mist let out a sharp scream.
"I just left for a moment, and you've already revealed your true form?" Everyone realized it was actually a silver fox.
Xiao Meize hurried to Zhao Shaohua's side and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Shaohua took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "Of course, how could that thing possibly hurt me?"
The Silver Fox swiftly drew the sword he carried with him, while Xiao Meize also summoned his flying sword. The two stood on either side of Zhao Shaohua, forming a small formation.
"Be careful!" Xiao Meize shouted.
The monster let out a sharp roar and pounced towards the three people. The atmosphere became tense as the battle was about to begin.
In the heat of the battle, Xiao Meize rushed forward first, his long sword clashing fiercely with the monster, creating a metallic clang. The monster was blocked, but immediately retaliated by violently whipping its tail towards the silver fox.
The silver fox agilely leaped, avoiding the attack.
Xiao Meize followed up, wielding a long sword that emitted a series of dazzling lights, slashing towards the monster. Each strike was extremely sharp, forcing the monster to retreat.
The Silver Fox and Xiao Meize cooperated seamlessly, and their sword light cascaded down, suppressing the monsters for a moment.
However, the monster suddenly spoke in a cold voice: "You cannot kill me!"
"Don't talk too much!" Zhao Shaohua Suddenly, she shouted and pulled out a small bottle from her pocket, quickly throwing it towards the monster.
As the bottle shattered, a bright light enveloped the monster. The monster howled in pain, its body gradually disappearing into the light.
The beam hit the monster, causing it to let out a miserable scream. Its entire body seemed to be slashed open, slowly dissipating into the air. The grand hall returned to its original tranquility.
"Is... is it over?" Zhao Shaohua asked cautiously, wearing an unbelieving expression.
"What did you just throw...? " Xiao Meize looked at Zhao Shaohua in surprise.
"This is the 'Fairy Dew' given to me by Princess Yueyao, for emergency use." Zhao Shaohua smiled, revealing a beautiful smile.
Xiao Meize and Silver Fox locked eyes, both seeing the surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.
"It seems this time, we have to thank Zhao Shaohua," Silver Fox said softly.
Xiao Meize Sheathed his sword and sighed, "We've temporarily dealt with this monster. Let's leave this temple quickly."
Before leaving for Xiao Dynasty, he left some of the military forces behind to take care of the nearby civilians.
