The black fire was poised, ready to strike at any moment. If his Qiao Qiao was in danger, he naturally couldn't stand by.
At the same time, Qiong Hao's body within the wooden cage suddenly underwent drastic changes. All his bones rapidly grew with a crackling sound. His face underwent a significant transformation. Everyone watched him, their eyes widening in fear.
How was this still a person? This guy looked completely like a gigantic bat! His small eyes flickered with a fierce glint, and even his body had completely mutated. Everyone was quite frightened, instinctively wanting to distance themselves from this battlefield. They felt that things were about to go very wrong!
"Roar!!" Qiong Hao squatted in the wooden cage, letting out an earth-shattering roar. The sound waves that escaped his mouth were laced with wind, causing people's eardrums to ache slightly. Madam Guoan bore the brunt of it, sprayed by this distant roar. She felt a gust of wind sweep over her, her hair standing on end, and she involuntarily swayed twice, almost plopping onto the ground.
"Madam." Huang Yang quickly supported her, pulling her swiftly towards the back of the crowd. At this moment, the crowd was already somewhat chaotic. No one was a fool; how could they stand at the very front to take a hit for someone else? So everyone tried to squeeze to the back, ultimately pushing Saint Child Mi Yan and the various Divine Hall guards and priests to the very front.
The Divine Hall priests' faces were rather unpleasant. Saint Child Mi Yan's expression was somewhat detached, though his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up at Qiong Hao in the wooden cage suspended in mid-air. He took a deep breath and briefly closed his eyes.
What kind of existence is this "Heaven's Fortune" anyway? Is it a place that creates monsters? Why did the Hall Master join this Heaven's Fortune organization, and why is he so determined to drag the entire Divine Hall into such a predicament?
Qiao Mu coldly observed the rapidly transforming and expanding monstrosity before her. At this point, the last shred of human reason had extinguished in Qiong Hao's eyes. He was like a gigantic, human-headed bat, flapping his wings, savagely crashing against the wooden cage.
After his rapid mutation, his body's toughness had significantly improved. After three consecutive impacts, the wooden cage showed signs of deformation. By the fifth impact, his deformed large head squeezed out of the cage, getting stuck between the wood vines. His eyes, blazing with malice, stared at Qiao Mu before him. He opened his mouth and spat out a gust of air, striking directly at Qiao Mu's head.
Qiao Mu suddenly leaped up, twisting her waist slightly in mid-air with a graceful spin. She lightly landed and stood on a vine. At the same time, the gust of air struck below her feet, explosively destroying the vine she had just stood on. Qiao Mu launched herself into the air again, lightly landing on another vine. Her eyes, cold, watched Qiong Hao before her. With a flick of her fingers, a flying talisman swiftly appeared in her palm.
"So disgusting, there's no need for you to exist," Qiao Mu finally said coldly. Immediately, she rapidly ascended into the air, quickly moving in front of Qiong Hao. Through the gaps in the wooden cage, she rapidly launched three ice spikes at his mutated, giant head.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."
The ice spikes all hit Qiong Hao's head but were all deflected by him at once. "Roar!" He was enraged again, roaring furiously at Qiao Mu.
