Chapter 769
This giant gray face was extremely large, within the visible range, its edges were impossible to see. However, its features were sharply defined—the eyes were like two pitch-black pits, the nose was high, and the mouth was tens of meters long.
And this stone statue was sucking its fingers in its mouth, seemingly savoring the flesh it had just smashed.
The appearance of this terrifying face made every cultivator present shudder!
Especially, the behavior of it sucking the blood and flesh from its fingers chilled the cultivators of the Panjiao Race, because just a few seconds earlier that blood and flesh had been one of their comrades, who was turned into mush and swallowed in the blink of an eye.
The black, slightly dull eyes of the statue were wider than these people’s bodies. It then turned towards the remaining terrified experts of the Panjiao Race, and reached out its hands to start slapping at them.
“What are you doing standing there! Run!”
Jiao Shikai roared, wrapping up some of his people and retreating downward, but the revived face of the statue showed an impatient look and relentlessly chased after the Panjiao Race experts, its speed not at all slower than theirs, who were in the Heavenly Connection realm.
Boom!
With a clap of its hands, another expert of the Panjiao Race was reduced to mush in the statue’s hands!
Jiao Yingguang, his horn broken, was both shocked and furious at such an unexpected change. He no longer dared to resist this terrifying statue, and as he led his people in a desperate escape, he glimpsed Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo from the corner of his eye and faltered slightly!
Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo were not hiding at all; they stood in the air, rested their chins on their hands, and thoughtfully observed the statue, occasionally exchanging words. They simply did not bother to evade because the statue seemed to not even notice them, focusing only on slaughterring the Panjiao Race cultivators!
“Why doesn’t the statue go after them?”
Jiao Yingguang was immensely annoyed in his heart. He had originally planned to use those two as bait in a critical moment to give his people a chance to escape, but he hadn’t expected that his own people would be killed off one by one, while those two remained unharmed!
Not only that, those two were so calm in the face of the giant statue, and it seemed like the statue did not even attempt to attack them, just targeting the Panjiao Race.
But soon Jiao Yingguang made a startling discovery—those two, clearly visible, could not be sensed at all, as if they had become part of the background!
This shocked Jiao Yingguang. If he could not sense them, didn’t that mean the statue couldn’t sense them either?
Could the abilities of the Transforming Clan be so powerful?
——
“Hey, you can also use Orifice Perception to hide yourself?” Xiang Beifei asked.
“Yes, yes! What a coincidence, you can do it too?”
“Yes, that big guy can’t sense our presence, which is quite good.”
“Haha, it’ll drive the broken-horn mad,” Li Qianluo chuckled quietly.
Both of them were quite at ease facing the statue. They stood where the statue’s gaze could not reach, and it couldn’t detect them. As for saving the Panjiao Race, neither Xiang Beifei nor Li Qianluo had the inclination.
After all, Jiao Yingguang had had ill intentions from the start.
But Jiao Yingguang was not ready to give up!
“Thinking of staying out of it? No way!”
Jiao Yingguang muttered under his breath and immediately pulled his subordinates toward Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo. He knew clearly that these two must have some method of disguising themselves. Now that his side was being hammered by the statue, if he could pull these two into the fray, he could force them to use their abilities to protect their own people!
Jiao Shikai and Jiao Dihong also noticed the anomaly in Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo and understood Jiao Yingguang’s plan, immediately leading their people towards them.
“We need to run,” Xiang Beifei said.
“Let’s go!”
Li Qianluo also saw the intentions of the Panjiao Race experts, but they were very sly. Before the Panjiao people could get close, they dashed away in a smoke.
Seeing Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo suddenly speeding up and disappearing without a trace, Jiao Yingguang was stunned and then his face turned as red as a liver, furious beyond measure!
“Those bastards! They must be Heavenly Connection realm experts!”
At this moment, if he couldn’t recognize the cultivation level of Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo, then he had lived in vain! Their speed in escaping was impossibly fast; such speed was unreachable in the Orifice Transforming phase, only Heavenly Connection realm experts could achieve it!
Jiao Yingguang’s group also wanted to run following Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo, but the statue seemed to have targeted them, instantly blocking their path and slapping at them again.
Slap!
Another God Refining phase expert of the Panjiao Race was killed by a slap.
Jiao Yingguang felt so angry he almost spat blood!
——
Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo had no intention of concerning themselves with the life and death of the Panjiao Race. The strength of this statue was very formidable, and even if they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat it. Since they had no ties to the Panjiao Race, running away was their priority.
They quickly ran away from that area, and the fog ahead dissipated somewhat, the dense mist seemed to have thinned, and after running a certain distance, visibility greatly improved. But the scene ahead also astonished them!
Looking ahead, there was only a terrifyingly huge wall that soared into the clouds, extending up into the sky as if it were holding up the heavens. This wall was very wide, blocking their path, making it impossible to go further. Xiang Beifei had never seen such a gigantic city wall before; it almost seemed to split the heaven and earth in two.
