Chen Xiao, his face flushed with excitement, unleashed several bursts of vital energy, sending the teachers flying.
Seventh Rank martial artists were already a vast distance away from Sixth Rank.
It was the same as the difference between the Ninth Rank and the King Rank.
Without Shen Congwu, he, Chen Xiao, was the king here!
He slowly walked towards Wu Liang, his eyes burning with fervor and excitement.
"This is the ancient ferocious beast Taotie! It's perfect!"
If he could assimilate the Taotie's bloodline, he would surely reach the Imperial Rank in the future!
He raised his bloody claws, intending to grab Wu Liang, but the Frost Sky Sparrow blocked his way.
Chen Xiao frowned, his face contorted with rage.
"You old bastard, are you courting death? Your beast barely has any strength left, yet you dare to block my way!"
He swung his claws fiercely, the terrifying force easily sending the Frost Sky Sparrow crashing into the ground.
"Run!" Shen Congwu shouted with all his might.
"Shut up!"
Chen Xiao's inner energy surged, causing the already severely injured Shen Congwu to cough up another mouthful of blood.
After dealing with him, Chen Xiao continued to slowly walk towards Wu Liang, his eyes filled with longing for the Taotie bloodline.
Wu Liang's bloodline was an unparalleled treasure in his eyes, even more so than the True Dragon bloodline.
Devouring all things—what immense power!
"Come, become a part of me! Let me use your bloodline to become the strongest man in this world!" Chen Xiao said excitedly.
Wu Liang's beastly eyes stared intently at him, his massive body already suppressed in place by Chen Xiao's power.
Endless killing intent brewed within him, waiting for the moment to erupt.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
"Damn it!!!"
"I am the God-Slaying Taotie! I can kill even gods! Who do you think you are, loser?!"
Boom!
A towering, earth-shattering phantom of a Taotie emerged from his bloodline. His icy beastly eyes swept over everyone present like a god's, filled with endless slaughter and boundless evil.
At this moment, I am a god!
At this moment, I am the king of you all!!
The shackles of his bloodline shattered instantly, unleashing the full divine might of the Taotie.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Taotie bloodline!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the Taotie bloodline divine skill—Taotie Feast!]
[Taotie Feast: A divine skill inherited from the ferocious beast Taotie. Activated by consuming Taotie bloodline power, it summons a Taotie phantom to fight, enhancing all currently possessed skills and simultaneously dominating all surrounding beast bloodlines with lower strength!]
"Roar!"
A roar erupted, causing the beast bloodlines within all the half-beasts to boil. They collapsed to the ground, writhing and howling.
Chen Xiao, who had been brimming with confidence moments before, suddenly dropped to his knees. His eyes, drenched in beast blood, shattered with a loud crack.
"What… what is this? Why is my Bloodthirsty Bat King bloodline out of control?! Ah!!"
His body trembled violently, cracks appearing on his skin like shattered porcelain.
He howled in agony as his Bloodthirsty Bat King bloodline transformed him into a raging beast, completely out of control.
The towering, Taotie phantom raised a claw and slashed it ferociously at him.
Bang!
A huge crater appeared on the spot, and a torrent of blood gushed from Chen Xiao's body.
Yet he continued to gulp down the blood.
"No! That's my power! That's my power!"
Under the influence of the 'Taotie Feast', the beastly bloodline was agitated and completely out of his control.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was like a madman.
The Taotie phantom did not stop, its claws continuing to strike until Chen Xiao was killed.
Wu Liang, his eyes bloodshot, walked step by step and swallowed his body into the 'Gluttonous Stomach'.
The next moment, the Taotie phantom dissipated, and Wu Liang collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
The entire Lingtian Middle School fell into a deathly silence; not a single person dared to utter a sound.
Only after a long while, when Ling Qingxue reached Wu Liang's side, did the eerie atmosphere gradually ease.
"What was that? Does anyone know what that was?"
"After being looked at by that ferocious beast's phantom, I feel like I saw hell..."
"Damn it, if you saw hell, so be it! Why did you pee on my hand?!"
Shen Congwu was helped up by Lin Yutang. Despite his serious injuries, his eyes were filled with excitement.
"The divine beast bloodline has been activated! This is the bloodline divine skill of the ferocious beast Taotie—Taotie Feast!"
Legend has it that every beast with a divine beast bloodline had ancestors who were god-level beasts, each possessing a unique divine skill.
That divine skill could be passed down to descendants through the bloodline.
However, these divine skills could not be used immediately upon birth. One needed to activate the bloodline and harness its power to initiate the bloodline divine skill.
Only pure-blooded descendants could skip this activation stage.
The power of a bloodline divine skill far surpassed that of ordinary talent skills—perhaps ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times greater!
That Taotie phantom was a real gluttonous beast; a single glance from it could render the weak unable to stand.
If Wu Liang hadn't been so weak, the Taotie phantom could have devoured the entire Nanchuan Province in one gulp!
Wu Liang's ability to kill Chen Xiao relied entirely on the terrifying effect of 'Taotie Feast'.
It dominated the Bloodthirsty Bat King's bloodline, causing it to break free from Chen Xiao's control before the Taotie phantom crushed it to death.
Luck certainly played a part in achieving this feat.
If Chen Xiao hadn't been severely injured and if he hadn't fused with a magical beast's bloodline, even if Wu Liang had activated the 'Taotie Feast', he absolutely wouldn't have been able to kill a Seventh Rank martial artist.
However, this power was enough to threaten any martial artist below the Fifth Rank; even a Fourth Rank peak martial artist would have to back off.
After examining Wu Liang's body, Ling Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it's just his bloodline power being severely depleted. He'll recover after resting for a while."
Wu Liang's explosive performance truly shocked her. When he was in a life-threatening situation and engaging in devouring carnage, he was still able to activate the Taotie bloodline even while facing a Seventh Rank martial artist.
Amazing!
Even she had to admit it.
"You were incredibly fierce this time!"
In the distant horizon.
Beiming Feng arrived rapidly on his Ice Wind Kunpeng. Upon seeing the devastation at Lingtian Middle School, veins bulged on his forehead.
Furthermore, he had just sensed the pure Taotie aura, so the details of what had happened weren't hard to guess.
He landed on the ground and handed a pill to Shen Congwu.
"This is a mid-grade King-level Snow Spirit Pill. It can eliminate the side effects of the Blood-Burning Pill. With just a period of rest, you can recover to your peak condition."
Shen Congwu's face lit up with excitement, and he immediately accepted the Snow Spirit Pill.
"Thank you, Instructor Beiming!"
His level had dropped to the Sixth Rank, and due to the side effects of the Blood Burning Pill, he had no chance of breaking through again.
However, this mid-grade King-level Snow Spirit Pill could completely eliminate the side effects of the Blood-Burning Pill, allowing him to continue his martial arts journey.
"Yutang, quickly organize the other teachers to treat the wounded, and restore order to the school and the surrounding area!"
"Yes, Principal, right away!"
Upon receiving the order, Lin Yutang immediately led a group of teachers to treat the wounded.
Speaking of the wounded, only a few students were injured. They were all hiding behind the Four Spirits Extinguishing Formation, only suffering from severe mental exhaustion.
The truly wounded were the teachers who had fought against the Beast King Cult, and the most seriously injured was Shen Congwu.
