With this thought, Ye Ningze couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
The giant toad let out a roar towards the sky, its three heads simultaneously spitting out massive orbs of light, which hurtled towards them with ferocity.
Damn it!
A furious curse echoed out.
A middle-aged man, clad in a grey robe and sporting a handlebar mustache, leaped up abruptly. He struck one of the light orbs with his palm.
With a thunderous boom, the immense force sent the middle-aged man flying.
The light orb then exploded, transforming into a vast wave of energy that instantly engulfed the man's figure!
*Pfft!*
The middle-aged man was blown to pieces, his body a bloody mess, his blood splattering across the surface of Sunset Lake!
It had stained the once-calm lake a shade of crimson!
*Hiss...*
Witnessing this scene, even though Ye Ningze had prepared himself mentally, he was still startled. His entire body trembled, his frame quivering slightly.
Too powerful!
The giant toad was terrifyingly formidable!
A single, casual strike possessed such might!
This creature was undoubtedly a powerhouse that surpassed the level of a Grandmaster realm expert!
The other middle-aged men, seeing this turn of events, tightened their expressions, their eyes revealing a grave solemnity.
They immediately summoned their weapons and launched a fierce, unparalleled counter-attack against the giant toad!
Facing the encirclement and assault of several powerhouses, the giant toad calmly spat out three massive balls of light.
In an instant, these attacks were all blocked.
Furthermore, it inhaled with its enormous maw, directly swallowing all the attacks into its belly.
Its belly then swelled to a round, distended shape.
Clearly, these attacks had all been consumed by it.
Seeing this, Ye Ningze's fear intensified.
The giant toad had actually swallowed all their attacks!
Even he couldn't achieve such a feat!
This thing... it could even devour the true essence attacks of others?!
Ye Ningze mused silently.
The remaining men's faces were filled with extreme tension. One of them spoke to the young lady, "Miss, you should leave first! This thing is too strong, we can only hold it off for now!"
The young lady's voice trembled with a hint of tears, "Don't, Uncle Sun, let's go together!"
The middle-aged man spoke urgently, "Miss! Now is not the time to hesitate, hurry and leave! We've already obtained what we came for, there's no need to tangle with it!"
With that, the middle-aged man charged towards the giant toad once more.
This time, he was prepared to fight to the death.
Watching the middle-aged man charge forward, the young lady bit her lip. She understood the urgency of the situation and without any hesitation, she immediately turned and fled at high speed.
Seeing this, the few human martial artists let out furious roars and also charged forward, intending to join the middle-aged man in confronting the giant toad.
The giant toad, seeing them charge, sneered disdainfully.
Then, an incredibly massive beam of light shot out from its mouth, repelling all the charging humans and sending them flying backward.
*Bang bang bang!*
Upon being hit, several of them spat out blood from their mouths, hurtling backward.
The giant toad then opened its cavernous maw and spat a glob of viscous fluid towards the fleeing young lady.
The multi-colored mucus, even from a distance, clearly indicated its potent toxicity.
If it were to touch someone, even a martial artist of the Grandmaster realm would surely perish!
Seeing this, the others attacked the giant toad with renewed desperation, willing to sacrifice themselves to hold back the ferocious beast and allow the young lady to escape.
Be careful!
However, just as the young lady reached the edge of the lake, the giant toad suddenly opened its mouth. An invisible, immense force emanated from its maw, enveloping the young lady.
Miss!
The middle-aged men's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this. They cried out, their eyes filled with horror.
This giant toad was not only powerful but also possessed a remarkably high level of intelligence.
The previous attacks were clearly deliberate, designed to make them believe the giant toad only used poison-based attacks, thus emboldening them to charge and fight it head-on.
But now, it had suddenly changed its strategy, resorting to a spiritual attack.
Moreover, the speed of this spiritual attack was incredibly fast, leaving the others no time to intervene!
The young lady had also not anticipated the immense power of the giant toad's spiritual sense. Under this onslaught, she was completely defenseless!
As the spiritual attack was about to strike her, a look of resolve flashed across her face!
I'll go all out! Even if I die, I'll take a few with me!
Gritting her teeth, the young lady abruptly retrieved a jade stone from her storage ring and crushed it!
Immediately, a dazzling radiance erupted from her body!
A brilliant white light burst forth, illuminating an area of a hundred zhang around her, causing everyone nearby to squint their eyes.
What is this?
Ye Ningze's face showed surprise as he looked at the dazzling white light.
His eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly discern that this was an extremely rare treasure!
Moreover, the white light appeared exceptionally sacred, as if possessing some formidable power.
Following this, the spiritual attack launched by the giant toad fiercely collided with the young lady.
The radiant aura surrounding the young lady surged forward, meeting the spiritual attack in a violent annihilation.
What's going on?
She actually blocked the attack? This is impossible!
While the others were astonished, they quickly seized the opportunity and launched a desperate all-out assault on the giant toad.
Under the life-risking attacks of several Grandmaster realm experts, the giant toad was too preoccupied to pay attention to the escaping young lady and could only deal with the onslaught before it.
The next moment, the light surrounding the young lady receded, and she rapidly departed the battlefield.
Ye Ningze, watching the increasingly explosive battlefield ahead, let out a soft sigh and turned to leave.
The giant toad's combat power was immense. Although the middle-aged men were Grandmaster realm experts, judging by the current situation, they wouldn't last long. He had no desire to stay and become a meal for that creature.
With this thought, Ye Ningze sighed softly, turned, and quickly departed.
Shortly after he turned to leave, one of the humans suddenly let out a tragic howl.
"Ahhh!"
A hole the size of a bowl appeared in his chest, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.
The remaining individuals on the field immediately halted their attacks, turning to look. They saw that the body of the screaming martial artist had been directly pierced by an incredibly thick vine, blood splashing everywhere.
He had been impaled through and through, dead beyond any doubt.
