The Grim Stork shrieked. Almost at the same time, the horses in the carriages reared up and neighed in fear. Li Chengfeng almost fell off his horse. He managed to steady it and looked around in shock. "What's going on?
What's that sound? "
Madam Xie poked her head out of the carriage and yelled in shock, "What's going on up ahead?"
Li Chengfeng rushed his horse to the carriage. "I'll go take a look …"
Before he could finish, the ground shook violently. The tremors were so strong and obvious that even the carriage bounced a little. Li Chengfeng's horse straightened its back and finally threw Li Chengfeng off.
Li Chengfeng's reflexes were extremely fast. He somersaulted in mid-air and grabbed the reins of the carriage tightly with one hand, firmly holding onto it so that it wouldn't run away.
Li Chengfeng was furious. "What's going on?!"
Madam Xie was equally confused. Green Bead, who was riding a horse not far away, frantically tried to control her frightened horse, screaming, "Calm down, calm down!"
Li Chengfeng realised that the entire carriage was in chaos. Only Su Yuehan was looking at the front of the carriages in fear.
"What's wrong?" asked Li Chengfeng curiously.
She looked at him fearfully. "I don't know what's going on but I know … for horses to be this frightened, they must have encountered a ferocious animal.
A beast that could cause such a commotion … it must be … "
Before she could finish, the ground shook again. This time, it was even more violent than before, so much so that she almost bit her tongue.
Li Chengfeng then heard terrified screams and cries for help from the front of the carriages.
"There's a monster, run!"
"Help, help!"
Li Chengfeng instinctively reached into the pouch at the horse's waist and took out a long sword. The scabbard was elegant and the hilt was simple. This was the Cleansing Moon Li family's family heirloom — the Clear Sky Moon Sword.
Li Chengfeng pulled out the sword, flicked his wrist and slid the scabbard back into the pouch, then tied the horse's reins to the carriage.
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and smirked. "What kind of beast is this? Perfect for me to have a feast!"
As he spoke, Asparta, who was in the front row, suddenly ran over. As he ran, he shouted, "Young Master, run quickly. Get off the carriage, run quickly!
Agatha, run! "
Agatha hurriedly lifted the curtain and shouted in horror, "Asparta, what happened?"
Asparta's voice was lacerating. He pushed the people in front of him away and rushed towards Agatha. "It's the Grim Stork, the Flying Grim Reaper, the Grim Stork!"
As if to confirm his words, a huge shadow fell from the sky and smashed into the mountain path ahead with a loud bang.
Not far away, there stood a monster that almost everyone had never seen before.
The monster was holding a living person in its mouth. It exerted force with its sharp beak, and the living person in its mouth was immediately bitten in half. Blood splattered everywhere, and the intestines in the stomach fell with a crash. In just a moment, a small pit was sunk in the snow because of the heat.
The crowd was scared out of their wits. They let out hysterical screams and neighs as they madly rushed to the back of the caravan.
Green Bead was also scared out of her wits. Luckily, she reacted quickly and immediately jumped off her horse, following the crowd towards the back of the caravan.
The Grim Stork suddenly swung its tail like a javelin, drawing a huge arc behind it. The tip of its tail pierced the chest of the hooligan who had been harassing the girl. The hooligan screamed in pain as the Grim Stork's tail swept him towards the direction of the Grim Stork.
The person was still in mid-air when the Grim Stork's tail suddenly smashed him to the ground!
Even though there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, the fall still made the hooligan twitch all over. The Grim Stork did not wait for him to scream and suddenly slammed its claws down, instantly turning him into meat paste. Blood splattered from the soles of its feet, leaving a bloody red mark on its soles that spread outwards!
Li Chengfeng, who had just said he wanted a sumptuous feast, was now gaping at the Grim Stork the size of a small mountain. His face was full of shock, as if he had been scared out of his wits!
This was the first time Li Chengfeng, who had never left Cheng 'an City, had seen another beast in this world. He was extremely shocked!
What kind of monster was this?!
There were many mountains near Cheng 'an City, so naturally there were many beasts. However, Li Chengfeng had killed a tiger with his own hands when he was sixteen, and killed a black bear when he was eighteen. He naturally did not think much of these so-called' beasts' in the forest.
However, this was a five-meter-tall, ten-meter-long monster that was as huge as a hill. Li Chengfeng did not even need to think to know that he was no match for this beast!
At that moment, Li Chengfeng felt extreme fear. Both his legs were trembling!
If Li Chengfeng, who had reached a higher level in external martial arts, was this terrified, everyone else had gone completely crazy.
Everyone was frantically running backwards. Li Chengfeng felt as if he was in the middle of a raging crowd. He could barely stand as he was pushed back by the crowd.
These hooligans who came here to eat and drink usually loved to fight. However, right now, they could only think of one thing: run!
Li Chengfeng instinctively retreated from the rush of people. Behind him, Su Yuehan and Green Bead helped Madam Xie off the carriage. Asparta supported Agatha and said fearfully to Madam Xie, "Master, run! We can't outrun the Grim Stork but we just need to outrun these people!"
Madam Xie was also shocked. No matter how smart she was, she never expected something like this to happen on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony!
This was the destructive effect of absolute power. The Zhan family compared to the Li family was like the sun compared to a firefly. No matter how far away they were, the sun was still the sun and the firefly was still the firefly.
The sun was so strong that it only needed to shoot a beam of light to incinerate everything. The firefly was so weak that it only needed to press a finger to destroy it.
Madam Xie's ears buzzed. Asparta shook her arm hard before she finally realised what was going on. The noise around them poured into her ears.
"You said this monster is the Grim Stork?
Do you know it? "Madam Xie grabbed Asparta as if she remembered something.
Asparta anxiously pulled Madam Xie along as they ran. "This is a monster unique to the north-west!
It's extremely ferocious and terrifying!
My people call it the Flying Grim Reaper!
Run, Mistress! "
Madam Xie was being carried as they ran. She suddenly struggled and shouted, "Chengfeng, my son!
Run! "
Li Chengfeng stared blankly at the Grim Stork not far away, watching the beast devour lives without a care in the world. He instinctively retreated as he was dragged along by the crowd. For a moment, he had no intention of fighting back.
Suddenly, he bumped into a wall behind him. He turned to see a huge, burly man on a tall horse. It was the leader of the Cleansing Moon Sect, Li Chun!
