No one had expected the Thousand-legged Centipede to be so terrifying. Not only was Mr. Qiu Shui injured after a single clash, but he was also instantly enveloped by the centipede's thousands of long legs. If he were pierced by those legs, it would be enough to kill him, even without the creature releasing its potent venom.
Everyone was aghast.
"Die, human."
The Thousand-legged Centipede roared coldly.
"Beast, stop."
Just as despair began to set in for the group, a sudden rebuke echoed from within the mountain.
The rebuking voice was as ethereal as an oriole's song.
Yet, this very voice made the Thousand-legged Centipede shudder violently, and its move to kill Mr. Qiu Shui came to an abrupt halt.
Then, the Thousand-legged Centipede transformed, becoming a sinister-looking man with six arms.
He bowed respectfully in the direction the voice had come from.
"Saintess."
Even the Three-headed White Snake also transformed at that moment, becoming a bizarre woman with three heads.
