Free Web NovelChapter 1464: Chapter 856: Ghost Party!
When it comes to dealing with Ye Zui, only a speed-type powerhouse like Electric Eel is truly effective. If it were Scorpion Woman going up against Ye Zui, she’d be tranquilized in minutes.
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t have to team up just to keep Ye Zui in check.
But right now...
The Poison-Tempered Scorpion’s Tail lunged in a vicious stab!
Electric Eel would speed-kill Ye Zui...
In the end, it was still a battle of speed.
Swish!
The Scorpion’s Tail pierced through where Sui Yi had just sidestepped; the shadow was still there, but Sui Yi’s right hand had already pinched the tail a mere inch beneath the poison barb and yanked hard.
Crash!
Scorpion Woman’s whole body was dragged and flung out from inside the tree hole. The moment she was thrown clear of the opening... Sui Yi’s left hand chopped down like a blade, a clean, decisive slice...
Crack!
The metallic Scorpion’s Tail was actually chopped off by brute force. Scorpion Woman let out a miserable scream, only to be flung away by a flick of Sui Yi’s hand.
The severed Scorpion’s Tail also fell from the sky...
Smack!
The Scorpion’s Tail hit the ground.
Scorpion Woman landed right after, face deathly pale and feral. She suddenly pulled a small vial of Potion from a hidden clasp on her belt and downed it in one gulp...
"****! Who the hell is this woman?!"
Scorpion Woman was furious, and at the same time felt an inexplicable fear. That person’s energy aura clearly wasn’t that strong, yet she’d severed her Scorpion’s Tail with pure arm strength. That level of physical body was insane!
"Could she be the same as us?" The suspicion stuck in Scorpion Woman’s throat like a fishbone. Her hatred couldn’t beat her fear, so she didn’t dare rush in, only shifted her gaze.
Those emerald-green eyes stared fixedly at Cao Ling and the others nearby.
Cao Ling and the rest instantly felt a chill down their spines.
Up above, inside the tree hole... Sui Yi had just dealt with Scorpion Woman. He turned his head and saw the area shrouded in mist where Zhang Yang was, Electric Eel’s Lightning snarled and tangled by the fog...
The fog followed the current and pounced....
Lightning did a quick blink-step, landing on a tree root more than ten meters away, grabbed the root, and whipped it toward Ye Zui.
Another fog substitute.
This woman was really a pain in the ass.
Ye Zui also found Lightning hard to handle. The two had traded blows two or three times now, and neither could do anything decisive to the other.
But Lightning also had to keep an eye on Sui Yi.
In his subconscious, he naturally took Sui Yi as Ye Zui’s ally. Seeing Scorpion Woman get taken care of so cleanly and Efficiently, he cursed inwardly, sensing things were bad, and raised his guard several notches, no longer willing to strike lightly.
Three-way standoff.
Lightning on alert.
Ye Zui silent.
Sui Yi instead took the moment to glance at those Spirit Coffins...
The tree roots were making faint sounds...
Sui Yi seemed to feel that inside this honeycomb there was an invisible pair of eyes, staring at them with a chilling gaze...
Three seconds.
Lightning and Ye Zui suddenly felt their entire bodies tense!
Not good!
Swish swish swish!
Tens of thousands of tree roots suddenly came alive, launching an all-out assault on the three of them!
So many roots, densely packed, even blocked out their line of sight. The danger was off the charts.
Under the honeycomb, the tailless Scorpion, who had been gravely wounded and on the verge of death, had Cao Ling and the others just about ready to beat the fallen dog. Then the guy chugged some Potion and instantly became full of life again, scaring the crap out of them.
Ghost Party’s Scorpion Woman and Electric Eel were both quite famous internationally, each of them a 3S peak existence. One poison, one speed, they were a Gold-tier duo. If they joined forces, they were comparable to a 4S-level Master, and even counted as a dominant force among the 4S, the kind that even their Vice Sect Leader couldn’t handle. That’s why Ye Zui had been pushed into such a sorry state before. Plus, that Potion...
"Damn it, what kind of Potion has Ghost Party cooked up again?"
"TP4?"
"No, TP4 isn’t this effective yet, and she still seems pretty lucid..."
It was just that the killing intent was too strong.
Cao Ling and the rest were struggling to fend off Scorpion’s attacks when they heard the commotion erupting up in the honeycomb above. What the hell was going on!
Meanwhile, a few hundred meters away, Shen Ci, under the protection of several people, saw those raised tree roots in the ground sucking up large amounts of fresh blood and flesh, channeling it toward the honeycomb...
A field of dried corpses.
Her brows knitted tight, and there was no telling what was going on in her eyes.
Through slaughtering thousands, one rises as a hero...
She closed her eyes, expression cold.
————
On the other side... Zhong Buli and the other scions of noble families were also in a sorry state. In their desperate flight for their lives, there were no elders around to shield them. The tree roots didn’t give a damn how noble their bloodlines were. Anyway...
Kill!
"Anyone injured, use cloth strips and wrap up the wound tight, don’t let too much blood qi leak out. These roots will track along the blood qi..." Nie Wanqing was extremely calm. While tearing off her sleeve to bandage her own wound, she cast a slightly worried look toward the honeycomb...
The torn-open hole was sealing up at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.
It really was scary, endless, like it just wouldn’t die!
Just then, a chubby young scion spoke up weakly and made the whole group go quiet.
"So, uh, don’t blame me for jinxing it, but don’t you guys feel... we’re getting closer and closer to the honeycomb?"
