Monarch Of Time

Chapter 417: The Holy sect's token

The same scene repeated itself for the second time, as another peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator was swallowed by the gigantic Death Eater, and yet, the visual impact of this scene was no less than the first.

No, it was actually even worse.

Even if one argued that the black-robed old man had been caught off-guard the first time, the look of despair in the snake-eyed man's face this time was obvious to everyone around him, sending chills down their backs.

After all, this was a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

And yet, despite doing his best to take the Death Eater to the grave along with him, the snake-eyed man's fate was no different than the black-robed old man's, as he ended up inside the enormous beast's mouth altogether.

After staying still for a moment Liu Mei's expression suddenly changed, as she suddenly turned her attention towards the old woman in crimson armor.

The Holy sect's token wasn't in the snake-eyed man's possession either, which meant that there was only one possible target... the old woman in red armor!

The young man in red robes who was killing off the remaining skeletons and undead knights that blocked his way didn't miss the change in Liu Mei's attitude, nor the sudden glance that she shot towards the old woman in red armor, immediately understanding that the Holy sect's token was most likely on her body.

Without wasting a single moment, the young man looked at the old woman who was trying to escape from him and Liu Mei's army as she headed deeper inside the city, before he shouted in a loud voice

''Old bitch, hand over the Holy sect's token! Do it and I will let you live!''

The old woman who was at the peak rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage could feel that this person was most likely saying the truth, and he wouldn't chase after her as long as she gave up the Holy sect's token in her possession.

And yet, she merely snorted in response before she headed deeper inside the city, without so much as giving the young man's offer even a single thought!

After all, giving up the Holy sect's token was no different from suicide for these criminals who had been placed here by the Holy sect.

Although they wouldn't regain their freedom due to the crimes that they had committed and the number of people that they had murdered, they would still be able to keep their lives if they managed to hold on to the Holy sect's token by the end of the test.

This was the Holy sect's rule and the most important reason why these criminals didn't give up the Holy sect's token to the first person who attacked the city.

After all, if they didn't have the token in their possession, it was very likely that those disciples would fight between themselves and would completely ignore the criminals inside the city.

However, this wasn't the only reason why she refused to give up the sect's token either.

Even if both Liu Mei, and the young man in red robes as well as his group all decided to spare the old woman's life, the next group who attacked the city would definitely not let her go.

Even if they knew that the chances of her being alive and having the Holy sect's token in her possession were close to nil, they still wouldn't spare her life!

Thus, her best chance was to stick to her original plan, and if their group was unable to kill the disciples that attacked the city, then hiding and wait for the one month to be over was the only choice she had left!

At the same time, the young man in red robes had a furious expression on his face when he saw the old woman who didn't even consider his offer.

And yet, despite wanting to go after her, he was unable to completely break free from Liu Mei's army either!

Although the skeletons at the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul were unable to hold him down for even a single moment, the 20 undead knights who had attacked him all at the same time were a completely different matter.

Although the 3m(10ft) tall black-armored knights were unable to threaten him in the slightest and it was only a matter of time until they were all exterminated under his powerful attacks, the undead knights were still successful in temporarily slowing the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage young man down.

At the same time, the remaining 20 undead knights as well as the 300 skeletons that were still in perfect condition, all intercepted the rest of the disciples in the alliance that were chasing after the old woman, not allowing a single one to get past them.

More than 300 jade-white skeletons at the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage had attacked these disciples at the same time, and even if the skeletons weren't as strong as the average cultivator at the same level as them, they were definitely strong enough to take care of 100 disciples who were all at the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage or below.

As for those few disciples in the alliance that were at the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul stage, they had their hands already full, fighting against Liu Mei's 20 remaining undead knights.

Even if a single undead knight wasn't as strong as a normal disciple at the same level as them, due to the undead knights not having any long-ranged attacks, with their black armor and their strength augmented by Liu Mei's 'Death chant', they could definitely fight with those disciples head-on without any issues.

In fact, if they managed to get close to those disciples, the undead knights could actually deal fatal injuries if not outright kill them.

''How is this possible? It's not just that enormous black monster, even these knights in black armor are practically as strong as normal cultivators at the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul! Are these really summoned creatures?!''

''Stop talking and take care of them quickly! If we don't do it fast that old hag will definitely get away!''

Indeed, those disciples had never expected Liu Mei's army outside of the gigantic Death Eater that she was riding on to be so strong, that she could simultaneously hold every single one of them down at the same time!

At the same time, Liu Mei had the Death Eater run past these disciples, as she chased after the old woman in red armor!

The old woman was originally feeling elated after seeing Liu Mei's skeletons and her undead knights fight against the disciples of the alliance, giving her enough time to run as far away inside the city as possible.

However, in less than 30 breaths of time, she could feel the ground beneath her feet shaking violently, as the enormous silhouette of the Death Eater appeared behind her, and was only getting bigger and bigger with every passing moment.

''NO! Don't come any closer!!''

Finally, despair gripped the old woman's heart as she shouted loudly with all of her might.

Liu Mei however wasn't moved by her screams as she allowed the Death Eater to continue chasing after her, coming ever-so-closer to her with every passing moment.

She wasn't going to give this peak rank 3 Nascent Soul expert even a single chance to escape.

Finally, when the Death Eater was just a few meters away from her, the old woman turned around with a sinister look in her eyes, before she shouted loudly

''DIE YOU LITTLE BITCH!''

As she finished her words, hundreds of small and sharp ice shards appeared around the old woman, as they all shot towards the white-robed Liu Mei on the Death Eater's back.

Liu Mei however didn't move from the Death Eater's back, nor did she attempt to dodge the old woman's ice shards.

Instead, the enormous beast that was more than 30m(100ft) tall, opened its gigantic mouth, and sucked in every single one of those ice shards, leaving nothing behind.

However, this wasn't the end.

Without giving the peak rank 3 Nascent Soul expert a chance to unleash another attack, the Death Eater jumped forward with its mouth still open, as it immediately swallowed the old woman in red armor.

The third peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage criminal in this city disappeared just like that!

However, without wasting any more time in this place, the moment that Liu Mei sent her soul sense in the Death Eater's belly and confirmed that there was indeed a token on the old woman's body, Liu Mei immediately had the Death Eater fly towards the other end of the city.

After all, Liu Mei already knew that the red-robed young man had already destroyed 20 of her undead knights, and was now flying towards her location at full speed!
