Chapter 1079: Icy Swan City’s End
Lin Wu’s appearance as the Calamity Fiend was always something that struck fear into the eyes of all those that watched it.
He spent extra effort in looking even more terrifying.
~SCREECH~
A monstrous screech echoed across the entire Icy Swan city, forcing people to shut their ears.
“ARGH!”
“MY EARS!”
Those that were close to the large monster were affected the most, their ears bleeding immediately. The ones who were cultivators could endure it a bit better, but the weaker ones and mortals simply went deaf from it.
“So, many, humans….” But perhaps those who went deaf had it better, as an inhuman voice was heard a few seconds later.
It forced everyone to look up at the large creature who was also looking at them. Hundreds of eyes opened up on its body, gazing at the people of the city. Its eyes looked jaundiced and struck unease in the hearts of all those that looked at them.
“I thought I would starve in this frozen place, but seems like I just found a banquet!” The creature said out loud, terrifying the humans that had been shocked silent.
“RUNNNNNNNN!” Even cultivators screamed in instinct, running away.
If the sheer appearance and word of the creature weren’t enough to terrify them, the Qi fluctuations coming from the being were more than enough to do the same.
The Calamity Fiend was not holding back and showed its Dao Treading realm cultivation base.
Most cultivators in the city couldn’t even bear being in the presence of someone like this and knew they would be killed if they even thought of going against it.
Perhaps only the Elders of the city had any hope of going up against something like this.
“I like it when my prey runs~” The monster said before hundreds of tentacles sprouted out of its body.
The tentacles snaked around the city in the blink of an eye, attacking the people. Some of the smaller tentacles directly stabbed through the bodies of the cultivators as a large bone spike grew from them, while the larger ones had fanged mouths on them.
These mouths either chomped onto the heads of the people, or directly swallowed them whole!
Not even a minute had passed and thousands of people had already become the meal for the monster that had appeared in the city.
Whether it be the humans or the beasts, all faced the same fate.
“YOU MONSTER!”
“YOU DARE!”
“STOP RIGHT THIS MOMENT!”
Of course, such a large disaster wasn’t something the elders of Icy Swan City would miss.
They soon appeared in the sky, shouting out in rage.
The Three Elders of the Icy Swan City were bald old men with long beards. Their heads were covered in thick furred hats while various ornaments hung from their beards.
Similar to most others, they were dressed in thick clothes that were made from beast furs. With how the climate was here, there weren’t many opportunities to grow any fabric yielding plants here.
Thus beast fur and leather was the main source of clothes here.
“Ah! Here comes the main course!” but much to their surprise, the creature was not the least bit afraid.
It openly mocked them while gazing at them. But then again, the being was simply too big and hard to be intimidated.
“Let’s start this, shall we?” The beast said before directly attacking the elders.
~SCREECH~
Another screech was let out by the creature before it rushed towards the nearest elder. Its mouth was wide open and ready to swallow him whole.
“HAAA!” Of course, the elder wasn’t one to go down without a fight and retaliated.
He swung out his palm, creating a large illusory tail that seemed to enlarge to ten meters in the blink of an eye. The tail emanated a chilly aura and was clearly made from Ice elemental Spirit Qi.
~SLAM~
The tail struck the creature successfully, creating a burst of frost that covered the creature’s entire head.
“HA! SERVES YOU RIGHT!” The elder saw that his attack worked and felt a lot better.
The monster’s large mouth was frozen solid and it seemed to have halted.
~KACHA~
“WHAT?!” but his relief was short lived as the ice seemingly cracked in the next moment.
~SHATTER~
“You need to try harder,” The creature said before six spike tipped tentacles rose out from its mouth.
“Wha—” And before the elder could react, the six spiked tentacles tore through his body.
The tentacles were smaller than all others, being only a finger thick. But that also meant that their speed was a lot faster. The elder didn’t even have a moment to react before he was stabbed.
“AAHHHHHH!” But that was only the start of his suffering as the tentacles also started draining his vitality and Qi at the same time.
~CRUNCH~
But a second later, his cries were stopped and his body turned into a mush. The tentacles had rapidly pulled him into the monster’s mouth, ending his life.
“Mmmhmm, a bit chill, but still good.” The monster said before tens of its eyes locked onto the remaining two elders, who were watching with horror. “Come on, I like it when you struggle a bit.”
The creature’s words served little to help the elders, as they had already realized they were up against something unbeatable to them.
“EVERYONE RUN! ASK FOR HELP FROM THE GUI CLAN!” the second elder imbued spirit Qi into his voice and shouted out loud.
There were already people running away from the city who heard his voice. Even in the panic, they could understand his words and knew that the City was now doomed.
Lin Wu didn’t mind it at all, as this was exactly what he had wished to happen.
‘Go, spread the news of my appearance. That’ll make it easier to find the clan.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
Though he also didn’t miss the words of the elder that entailed the Gui Clan being contactable in some way.
Lin Wu didn’t know if he wished for people to just stumble upon the people of the Gui Clan somehow, or if there was a concrete way of contacting them. Whatever it might be, he’ll be finding it out soon enough.
