**Chapter 298: Senior Xing Bu—!!!**
Yun Zhonghe and Xia Linglong were both feeling like they were on the edge of the abyss!
However, just as they were teetering between life and d*ath, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out.
“Oh dear, oh dear! It looks like I have to step in after all.”
Floating by the riverbank was Senior Xing Bu, casually scratching her head, wearing a look of resignation mixed with a hint of sass.
She started to drift over with a leisurely grace.
Xia Linglong finally noticed that there was a remnant soul nearby, her mouth agape in surprise.
“Huh? Why is there a remnant soul here?”
But Yun Zhonghe was too busy to answer Xia Linglong’s question; his eyes were glued to Senior Xing Bu.
He had never considered Senior Xing Bu a part of their combat power because she just seemed too weak. Besides, she was currently just a remnant soul. What could she possibly do?
Yet, Senior Xing Bu chuckled lightly, “Don’t underestimate a Dao-Integration Supreme’s means, little friend! You’re just starting out on this vast cultivation path. You have no clue what a true powerhouse really is!”
Yun Zhonghe froze. Did Senior Xing Bu have some hidden tricks up her sleeve?!
With a confident smile playing on her lips, she glanced at Yun Zhonghe and declared, “If you d*e at the hands of this thing, I’d say the cube I entrusted to you will never see the light of day again. Whatever happens, I’ll fight to give you a glimmer of hope!”
“Senior Xing Bu…”
Yun Zhonghe was deeply moved. He remembered when he first met her—she’d been a mess, crying and begging, lacking any of the dignity a Dao-Integration Supreme should possess.
Yet now, he could clearly sense the unique radiance of a true powerhouse emanating from her!
In that moment, Senior Xing Bu’s form seemed to solidify a bit; she wasn’t so intangible anymore, almost as if you could touch her. Taking a deep breath, she pulled out the last of her strength.
“Get to the shore, little friend! I’ll buy you some time!”
With her back turned to Yun Zhonghe, her voice resounded with undeniable authority, urging him to swim to safety and away from this perilous zone.
At that moment, Senior Xing Bu truly felt like a Dao-Integration Supreme, her silhouette towering and majestic in the sunset.
She looked down upon everything around her, as if nothing in this world could stand in her way!
Meanwhile, the Eight-Foot Lady couldn’t help but eye the blue-haired remnant soul with curiosity, her gaze flickering with puzzlement as though she recognized Senior Xing Bu. She tilted her head, examining her.
“Heh, who would’ve thought you’d still have a memory function, you little evildoer? You actually remember me!”
Senior Xing Bu huffed lightly, her words laced with a mix of mockery and disdain. A mysterious aura seemed to envelop her, like ancient runes swirling around, exuding an indescribable power.
“Very well! Let’s settle the score from a hundred years ago, you evil creature!”
Though she was just a remnant soul now, the pride of a powerhouse was undiminished, especially since her opponent was nowhere near her previous strength.
The advantage was still hers!
“ROAR!!!”
A deafening roar suddenly pierced the air as the Eight-Foot Lady dashed across the surface of the bl**d pool like a ghost, launching a fierce assault on Senior Xing Bu.
Boom—!
Senior Xing Bu’s remnant soul was scattered!
“Ah—!”
Her voice echoed in the air, her remnants dissolving into specks of starlight.
Yun Zhonghe: “Senior Xing Bu—!!!”
As expected, Senior Xing Bu was as weak as they come and was swiftly dispatched.
Yun Zhonghe was speechless; just a moment ago, she was boasting with confidence, and now she was gone in a flash.
He had hoped she could take them to the skies!
In the sky, an ethereal image of Senior Xing Bu giving a thumbs up appeared: “Mission accomplished, baby!”
But…
While Senior Xing Bu’s strength didn’t meet Yun Zhonghe’s expectations, she did manage to buy him and Xia Linglong a precious moment—though it was just a fleeting few breaths.
Because in her attempt to deal with Senior Xing Bu, the Eight-Foot Lady had slackened her grip on Yun Zhonghe and Xia Linglong, perhaps thinking she needed to go full throttle against this old adversary who had given her trouble before.
Little did she know, Senior Xing Bu was about as tough as a soggy noodle.
However, this feint did have some effect.
At the instant Senior Xing Bu engaged the Eight-Foot Lady, Yun Zhonghe and Xia Linglong felt their restraints loosen. The force trying to drag them back into the bl**d pool vanished!
What a perfect moment to make a break for the shore!
Yun Zhonghe grabbed Xia Linglong’s hand, and together they swam desperately toward the bank, racing against d*ath.
Splash—!
However, just as they were about to reach the shore, the waters of the bl**d pool surged up once more, crashing back like a vengeful wave. The bloodwater sprayed up like a fountain, each droplet seemingly coming alive, trying to drag Yun Zhonghe and Xia Linglong back down!
The Eight-Foot Lady raised her hand and waved lightly in their direction, using her will to manipulate the bl**d pool’s currents, turning the entire bl**d pool into her weapon.
This was her home turf; she had the absolute geographic advantage, and with just this, she could plunge Yun Zhonghe and Xia Linglong into despair, making escape nearly impossible.
“ROAR!!!”
The Eight-Foot Lady’s crimson eyes widened, glaring fiercely at Yun Zhonghe and Xia Linglong, as if warning them they wouldn’t escape.
Yet, just as she opened her mouth to roar, a white figure streaked across like lightning, delivering a full-force punch straight to her face!
“Le Ling!”
Yun Zhonghe gasped in shock; he never expected that the timid Chen Leling, who had been too scared to step into the bl**d pool, would throw caution to the wind and dive in, using her strength to give him and Xia Linglong a chance to escape!
“ROAR!”
The Eight-Foot Lady’s furious roar resounded through the bl**d pool as she was caught off guard by this lower-tier zombie’s attack. The blend of rage and humiliation on her face made her look even more terrifying.
She glared at Chen Leling, who stood her ground fiercely, roaring back despite the inherent pressure.
Thus began an intense brawl between the two powerful zombies in the bl**d pool, each punch connecting with a thud, bursting with raw power.
Although both were formidable, the Eight-Foot Lady clearly had the upper hand, and Chen Leling’s white outfit quickly became drenched in bl**d.
“Fighting amongst our kind?!”
“No! Leling is our ally!”
Xia Linglong was stunned, looking at Yun Zhonghe in disbelief.
Yun Zhonghe’s emotions were a whirlwind. He knew full well that Chen Leling wouldn’t be able to defeat the Eight-Foot Lady, yet here she was, fighting desperately for him!
