Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: The Four Great Powerhouses

The Xiaogu Mountain Town suddenly became empty. All the powerful ones left together, and everyone followed the experts of the four major clans towards the Stone Village, hoping to witness a great battle.

The forest was lush. The fallen leaves on the ground had accumulated over the years, being more than one foot thick. When stepped on, it was very soft. This was not even counting the rotten leaves that had already turned into black soil. Otherwise, it would be even thicker. The mountain land was fertile, and ancient trees reached towards the sky.

There were many fierce beasts in the forest. However, when such a large group of people moved together, both the huge beasts and the fierce birds were startled and retreated. Because there were too many people on the move, like a torrent.

"Is this the village?"

From a distance of still two or three miles away, the four major clans stopped and refused to move forward any further. They climbed up the cliff, reached the high ground, occupied the favorable terrain, and overlooked the village.

There was nothing abnormal to be seen. It was just an ordinary and simple village. On the stone houses built with mountain stones, animal skins were drying, and smoked meat was hung. Chickens and dogs could be heard. Old people were basking in the sun by the wall, and a group of children were chasing and playing with each other.

"Just such a village is also worth making such a big fuss? In my opinion, a charge by cavalry would flatten this place." The people of the Golden Wolf Clan said. This was a group of cavalry. Everyone was riding on scale horses, with bright armor, sharp spears, and shiny broad knives, pointing forward.

"Those who dare to offend the majesty of my Luofu Great Marsh will be punished no matter how far away. This village will surely be destroyed today!" A group of young people shouted, with cold expressions. Jiao Cang lost an arm and became a disabled person. They wanted revenge.

However, the leaders of the four major clans gave the order that they were strictly forbidden to act rashly and had to wait for the arrangement. Anyone who dared to attack without permission would be severely punished.

"It seems that this village is really not simple, making these powerful figures so cautious."

"Hey, where are the leaders of the four major clans? Why aren't they here? What are they doing?"

The strong ones who followed discussed, closely observing everything here.

The Stone Village was peaceful. In the courtyard at the village entrance, the little one was holding a small earthenware pot, preparing to boil the beast milk. He was sneaky and kept glancing at the courtyard entrance with his big eyes from time to time, afraid of being noticed by a group of older children.

"It smells so good." On the fire, the beast milk in the earthenware pot was boiling. He sniffed with his small nose, half-closed his big eyes, and had a look of intoxication.

"Flutter flutter"

Suddenly, the sound of birds flapping their wings came. The little one looked up, showing a surprised expression, and said, "Why are there so many birds and fierce birds? Could it be another beast tide?"

He stood up, walked out of the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and quickly noticed the anomaly. Birds were startled in the forests on all four sides, and they were all about two or three miles away.

"No, there are fierce beasts or people surrounding this place!" Little Shi Hao was very intelligent and immediately shouted to warn the villagers.

In fact, Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao, and others also noticed it in the first moment. The villagers were simple, but it didn't mean they had no vigilance. Living in the harsh wilderness all year round, they must have a sharp sense.

"Could it be that the bastards from last time have come again?" The father of Er Meng shouted.

In the mountainous area, the strong ones of the four major clans all showed surprised expressions. The people in this village reacted quickly. They were indeed extraordinary.

"Hey, the clan leader is here!" The people of the Golden Wolf Clan exclaimed.

A tall and powerful old man appeared. His pupils were pale golden, and lightning flew out, startling everyone's legs to tremble. This old man was extremely powerful.

Beside him was also a golden divine wolf. It wasn't very tall, but it was strutting, looking down on the strong ones of all clans, and actually had a domineering attitude of being the only one.

This wolf was covered with flowing golden light, and had a more powerful majesty than humans. Its golden eyes were cold. Glancing over everyone, it made every strong one retreat, almost suffocating. It was even more terrifying than that old man.

Everyone understood that this must be the most powerful spirit within a radius of fifty thousand miles!

"The Golden Wolf Clan, you must not act rashly. Retreat another mile and wait for my order quietly." After the powerful old man finished speaking here, he turned into a golden beam of light and disappeared into the forest.

Soon, he arrived one mile away from the Stone Village and stood on a mountain peak with that divine spirit, staring at the Stone Village.

At the same time, three supreme beings also appeared in the other three directions, climbing onto the stone cliffs and looking down at the Stone Village.

The leaders of the Thunder Clan, the Luofu Great Marsh, the Purple Mountain Clan, and the Golden Wolf Clan have all arrived, each occupying one side. They are about to use thunderous means and deliver a destructive strike.

The sound of the waves was like thunder. In the west, a large river passed through the forest. The master of the Luofu Great Marsh was standing here. His whole body was covered by water vapor. He was glowing, and a huge fierce flood dragon was transforming.

This was to activate the blood essence. He was trying hard to transform into a huge flood dragon, which was slowly breaking free from his spine and coiling on this mountainous area. The scene was terrifying.

He was using a precious technique, but the method was rather strange.

After this flood dragon broke free, it rapidly grew larger. It was about one zhang thick and more than two hundred zhang long. It was extremely terrifying. Gray mist surrounded it, and huge runes emerged, flashing in the void.

The fierce flood dragon roared, causing chaos in all four directions. Mountain rocks rolled down, and leaves flew wildly.

"Roar..."

With a roar, the gray fierce flood dragon stood upright and 俯冲 towards the Stone Village, launching a fierce attack that was shocking. The huge flood dragon body covered the sky. The gray mist surged, extremely thick. It seemed to come from chaos. Opening its mouth and roaring, it spat out a large area of terrifying light, shattering all the mountain rocks below.

Outside the Stone Village, the mountain rocks and trees suffered a destructive attack, and the ground cracked. This fierce flood dragon was too huge, and its attack power was so strong that it made people tremble with fear.

"What a powerful precious technique!" Two or three miles away, everyone was frightened, and their hairs stood on end. Such a method was astonishing, enough to destroy a clan.

"No, that village is fine!"

At the village entrance, a greenish branch on that willow tree shone, emitting a hazy halo that covered the entire village, blocking the astonishing attack of the fierce flood dragon.

Then, the willow branch rapidly spread, rushing towards the sky, attempting to pierce through that fierce flood dragon!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, in the north, a brilliant burst of thunder light appeared. Those were several black lightning bolts that struck from a cliff towards the Stone Village, intercepting the willow branch that was reaching towards the sky.

The Thunder Marquis has made a move. A powerful marquis used all his strength and activated the most powerful precious technique, as if he had transformed into the Thunder God.

"Is it rejuvenation of a dead tree? On behalf of the Thunder God, I will destroy you again. Completely decay!"

The loud voice was like thunder, shaking the mountains and rivers. All the strong ones covered their ears. The penetrating power of his voice was so strong that it made the leaves in the forest fly wildly.

He was not attacking the main trunk of the willow tree but intercepting that very thin and tender branch. All the black lightning bolts danced wildly and pressed down. The heaven and earth turned dark, and black light surged!

In the south, a wolf howl resounded through heaven and earth. The divine wolf howled at the moon. There, golden light was brilliant, covering the entire mountain peak. That divine spirit underwent a terrifying change.

Its back cracked, revealing a golden gap. The fur split to both sides. The divine spirit roared, causing the mountains to tremble.

It was actually shedding its skin. After the golden fur cracked, an even more brilliant divine wolf emerged from it. Its entire body's fur was like it was cast from gold.

"Ah, that golden wolf is indeed terrifying. No wonder it is respected among the divine spirits within a radius of fifty thousand miles. It has obtained a new life once, shed a layer of old skin, and refined it into a precious tool." Everyone was astonished.

Usually, this golden wolf endured and always wore the old skin it shed. Only now did it reveal its fierce true form, showing its full strength.

The golden light was intense. That wolf skin rapidly swelled up, lifelike, just like another living divine wolf. Even the teeth were there, shining with a cold light.

Obviously, when this divine spirit shed its skin, it was very thorough. The leftover skin was complete, making this precious tool extremely rare and powerful!

"Ao..." The divine wolf howled, shaking heaven and earth. That wolf skin precious tool emitted boundless light, dyeing the heaven and earth golden, rushing towards the Stone Village and attacking the willow tree.

Everyone was shocked. It was truly worthy of being the most powerful divine spirit within a radius of fifty thousand miles. This kind of might was simply terrifying, causing great fear from the bottom of people's hearts.

The divine wolf transformed from the golden wolf skin directly pounced towards the charred and thick root of the willow tree, attempting to destroy it from the root. The golden light boiled, submerging the village entrance.

"Boom!"

Purple qi came from the east. In the east, a thick purple qi spread all over the place, turning into thick clouds that covered the entire forest. The terrifying might was overwhelming. The number one powerful one, the Purple Mountain Marquis, has also made a move! (To be continued)
