Raising one of its gigantic 4 legs, the Death eater 'looked' at the man who was flying towards Liu Mei, before it stomped its leg down violently, like a giant that was about to step on an ant!

The peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator was startled when he felt the enormous Death eater abruptly turning its attention towards him, while at the same time, a sense of lethal danger had suddenly appeared in his heart.

He didn't understand why, but the early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage beast in front of him actually made him feel threatened.

And yet, despite seeing the enormous leg that was descending upon him, the middle-aged man didn't back down!

Instead, he changed the target of his sword, from Liu Mei to the Death eater's leg, as he snorted angrily and said

''Hmph! You think you can go against me with just an early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage beast... know your place!''

Suppressing the danger that had sprouted from the bottom of his heart and was becoming even more intense with every passing moment, the middle-aged man's sword lit up with a bright light, as he swung it sideways, sending out a powerful slash towards the Death eater's leg!

The scene that followed after this however, did not only shock the middle-aged man, but the rest of the criminals around him as well who happened to see it, as well as the disciples of the alliance who were staring at the city walls from the distance a few miles away from the city.

Contrary to the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul man's expectations, the 'powerful slash' that he had expected to slash open the Death eater's leg did not only fail to harm the enormous beast in the slightest, but instead, it was instantly obliterated!

Unable to hide the shock in his eyes, the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage expert had no time to analyze why his attack had failed, and could only raise his sword in response, in an attempt to block the enormous black leg that continued its descend towards him and was now just a few meters away from him!

The moment that his sword met the Death eater's gigantic leg however, the middle-aged man could feel an unstoppable force striking his body, immediately sending him flying back into the ground.

BOOOM!

The moment that the Death eater's black leg descended on the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator's body, a powerful earthquake suddenly erupted, shaking half of the city, causing even those cultivators who were fighting with Liu Mei's skeletons and undead knights to involuntarily turn their eyes towards its direction.

The rowdy battlefield that was filled with screams and shouts just a moment ago immediately fell silent, as everyone turned their eyes towards Liu Mei and the Death eater.

The hideous beast slowly raised its leg from the ground, revealing the mangled and already destroyed body of a peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator below it. A long and thin sword was lying by his side, but even with his rank 2 gold grade weapon, the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul cultivator's body had already turned into meat paste from the Death eater's terrifying stomp!

Looking at the fresh blood that was dripping from the Death eater's leg, looks of shock, as well as incredulousness and disbelief had appeared on the eyes of the disciples that were 5 miles away from the city, unable to take in the scene in front of their eyes

''What?''

''How is this possible?''...

It wasn't just the few Spirit realm cultivators from the alliance that were shocked, even the rank 1 and the rank 2 Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and even the young man in red robes who had already reached the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul stage had looks of disbelief in their eyes when they saw this scene.

After all, it was clear that the Death eater's aura was merely at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul stage, while the middle-aged man was clearly a peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage expert!

And yet, not only had that person died despite the disparity in their cultivation, but it was done with a single stomp!

A young woman at the peak rank 2 in the Nascent Soul stage slowly approached the red-robed young man, as she suddenly asked in a voice full of skepticism

''Senior brother... could it be that that beast is actually at the middle rank 2 of the Nascent Soul stage or even higher?

Otherwise... this isn't possible...''

The red-robed young man however simply shook his head without answering, as his eyes were intently staring at the white-veiled young woman on top of the beast's back.

How could he not know that even an early rank 2 Nascent Soul stage cultivator was unable to kill that middle-aged man with a single hit?!

Only a middle rank 2 Nascent Soul stage expert, or someone who was even stronger could possible achieve such a feat.

However, as a peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert, he could clearly understand that Liu Mei's and the Death eater's auras were only at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul stage!

Of course, although the young man was shocked, he didn't know that to achieve this result, not only had Liu Mei used the Death eater's full force, but the moment that she had said the word 'Death' earlier and allowed the black ball of death qi in her hands to fall on the Death eater's back, she had used the first stage of the 'Death's chant'.

The Death eater by itself could fight against the peak rank 1 Nascent Soul middle-aged man without any problem. However, augmented by Liu Mei's Saint low-grade martial skill, the powerful beast's strength rose all the way to the middle of rank 2 in the Nascent Soul stage!

Despite its aura being only at the early of rank 1 in the Nascent Soul, it was simply impossible for a peak rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator to survive from its attack!

At that moment however, as the red-robed young man continued to stare at Liu Mei on top of the Death eater's back, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared deeper inside the city.

A cold smile then appeared on his lips, as he mumbled to himself in an almost indiscernible voice

''They have finally come.''

As these words left the young man's mouth, half a mile away from Liu Mei, an old man in black robes, a middle-aged man with eyes that resembled a snake's, as well as an old woman in red armor, all appeared practically at the same time, staring at Liu Mei on the Death eater's back with nonchalant looks in their eyes.
