At first, Zhou Mu and the others didn't sense the impending crisis.
The Deer-Horse Demon Beast only let out strange cries. It could speak the demon tongue but not human words, a clear sign it was a Wilderness Demon that hadn't even formed a Demon Core!
Zhou Mu's group formed up, preparing to slay both beasts. But unexpectedly, the Deer-Horse Demon Beast charged, and as if it possessed a Divine Eye, it shattered their formation in the very first clash.
It rammed directly into the Female Cultivator Liu Qingqing, who held a key support position, shattering her sternum and leaving her collapsed on the ground, on the brink of death.
Their nine-person Nine Palaces Array was instantly broken.
