C3447 At a Critical Moment
As these tentacles merged more and more times, the will contained within them became stronger and stronger. Ji Faang gradually began to feel powerless and unable to suppress his opponent.
Faang Yang immediately noticed this as well. He hurriedly increased his speed and cut off the tentacles, trying to weaken the will of the fusion. However, no matter how fast he was, there was nothing he could not catch up to the speed of the fusion of the tentacles.
Not to mention, there was also a devil treasure aura left behind by Evil Spirit Hall Master as a primer, speeding up the integration of the tentacles.
Ji Faang looked at the increasingly stronger tentacles. His expression became somewhat panicked. He hurriedly asked Faang Yang, "Is there any other way?"
Obviously, with just the two of them working together, there was no way they could deal with the will of the Monarch Clan's wise sages. Instead, it made the tentacles stronger and stronger.
Faang Yang's face was solemn, but his heart was not in a panic. Instead, he seemed incomparably calm. He quickly comforted, "Continue. Try to weaken this will as much as possible. Try not to let it take shape."
Although that was the case, the will on the tentacle became stronger and stronger. Faang Yang also found it more and more difficult to deal with the tentacle. At the beginning, his Dragon Scale Sword was still able to cut off the tentacle with a single slash. But now, the tentacle was able to deal with him for a period of time.
Ji Faang saw the anxiety in Faang Yang's eyes. He didn't have a good mentality like Faang Yang. As more and more tentacles appeared, he began to think about how to get out of this place.
However, when he saw the densely packed rogue cultivators above his head, Ji Faang's facial expression immediately fell.
Most of the rogue cultivators he brought in had already become slaves of resentment. Not only could they not help, they had also become obstacles to their escape.
When he saw this Ji Faang, there was no need to mention how regretful he was. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have brought so many rogue cultivators with him. After all, he had left those weaker rogue cultivators outside. He wouldn't have ended up like this.
Because of the previous pathfinder, those rogue cultivators with lower cultivation base were either separated or killed. Now, those who were controlled by the resentment were mostly at the sixth or seventh level of the Spirit Gathering Stage.
Under the possession of the resentment, the opponent's strength increased exponentially, and he unleashed an aura that wasn't any weaker than the Spirit Gathering Stage Level Nine.
In terms of combat strength, they might not be as strong as the disciples of the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Gathering Stage in the major powers, but in terms of numbers, there were at least a few hundred of them.
No matter how confident Ji Faang was, he wasn't confident that he could escape from so many experts.
Even Faang Yang felt his scalp go numb when he saw so many rogue cultivators blocking the way. If it wasn't for that, he would have fled with Ji Faang and the others, and wouldn't have been trapped here.
Although the interference of the resentment was terrifying, it couldn't stop the resolute Faang Yang and Ji Faang, who had the Divine Monarch Will protecting him.
However, once they were stopped, they wouldn't know what would happen if they stayed in the resentment for too long. Therefore, neither Ji Faang nor Faang Yang chose to escape at this moment.
On the contrary, the disciples of the Five-direction God Bloodline who were standing beside them all had pale faces. Especially after seeing that Faang Yang and Ji Faang couldn't resist the tentacles even if they joined forces. All of a sudden, they flew out from the bottom of the lake.
The tentacles at the bottom of the lake were condensed from the flesh and blood of the Monarch Clan's wise sages, and it also contained the will of the other party. It had a great suppressive effect on the descendants of the Monarch Clan.
To them, this was undoubtedly a tremendous pressure. In the end, there were still some who couldn't bear it. They would rather die in the hands of the rogue cultivators outside than be devoured by the tentacle.
Faang Yang frowned and revealed a trace of displeasure on his face. It seemed like he had overestimated the endurance of these Monarch Clan's descendants. These tentacles hadn't even fully formed yet, but they were already so afraid that they didn't dare to face them anymore.
With a person taking the lead, the other Monarch Clan's descendants also began to move. Each and every one of them fled towards the top of the lake. The result was obvious.
Not long after they escaped, they were surrounded by numerous rogue cultivators. They didn't even have the time to scream before they were completely killed. Not even their corpses were left behind.
Seeing this, Ji Faang and the other two disciples' faces turned even paler. After seeing the miserable state of the others, they calmed down a lot.
"The resentment here isn't the same. It came from the Devil World. Don't even think about getting lucky. Once you are infected, ordinary people won't be able to escape."
Even Ji Sheng and himself, who were protected by the Divine Monarch Will, were severely affected. There was no need to think about the others.
At this moment, they finally understood the danger of this place. They couldn't help but look at Faang Yang.
"Mr. Faang, you came in with God King Qi earlier. Since you have already left this place alive once, there shouldn't be too much of a problem with the second time, right?"
Ji Faang swallowed his saliva and forced himself to speak calmly.
Faang Yang shook his head. "Although the previous situation was more dangerous, with God King Qi's help at that time, I was able to get close to this place. The current situation is much better..."2
When the others heard this, they simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air. The situation in front of them had almost made them despair. They simply could not imagine what Faang Yang and the others had experienced.
However, seeing that Faang Yang's tone was unclear, they did not dare to continue asking, lest they had bad thoughts.
Faang Yang was not wrong. The situation before was indeed much more dangerous than now. If it wasn't for Divine King Qi and the two Divine Monarches phantoms appearing, Faang Yang might not have been able to escape unscathed.
Following that, everyone's gaze returned to the surrounding tentacles, even though Faang Yang had already used all his strength. But the surrounding tentacles were still increasing in number, although their numbers couldn't compare to the rogue cultivators outside. However, in terms of quality, they were much stronger than those rogue cultivators.
Those rogue cultivators were only at the Spirit Gathering Stage Level Nine at most, but the strength of the surrounding tentacles had already reached the Essence Spirit Stage.
Currently, it was already very difficult for Faang Yang to defend against these tentacles alone. There was no way he could stop the fusion of these tentacles.
Not long after, these tentacles seemed to have reached a critical point, and they didn't continue to merge with each other.
"It seems like the Essence Spirit Stage is their limit. Fortunately, although these tentacles have the strength of an Essence Spirit Stage, it's very difficult for them to exert their full strength. It's also possible that if they continue to grow, Evil Spirit Hall Master won't be able to control them."
The Qi of the devil treasure that Evil Spirit Hall Master had hastily deployed was obviously not very strong. It was already very scary for them to be able to control the tentacles of an Essence Spirit Stage. After all, the opponent's cultivation base had just returned to the Essence Spirit Stage.
It was just the residual Qi of a devil treasure. It was obviously very difficult to completely control the will of a sage of Monarch Clan.
Therefore, after the tentacle had reached the Essence Spirit Stage, Evil Spirit Hall Master stopped the integration of these tentacles and started attacking Faang Yang and the others.
At this moment, Faang Yang didn't dare to hold back anymore. The power in his body was completely unleashed. However, he still felt the threat of life from these tentacles, causing the Profound Bird Dragon Suppressing Pillar in his body to immediately open up a barrier.
These fused tentacles were all blocked by the barrier of the Profound Bird Dragon Suppressing Pillar. They were completely unable to come into contact with Faang Yang, Ji Faang, and the others.
