Chapter 76: Intense Battle
The black-robed woman wore a veil, yet in that moment, Yun Zhonghe felt her shock, anger, and the mad joy of revenge.
It seemed like she knew him.
In an instant, Yun Zhonghe mentally ran through all his familiar video game characters, but he didn’t recall ever seeing this mission boss before. He was completely clueless.
Could it be a bug?
“Heh heh heh! I was just thinking about breaking through and settling the score with you, but you actually found your way here on your own. What perfect timing!”
Yun Zhonghe’s eyes darkened as he silently complained in his mind:
Well, what’s next? Stealing my laugh? If I weren’t planning to be a good guy anymore, I’d charge you a licensing fee for sure!
But through her words, Yun Zhonghe picked up a crucial piece of information.
The black-robed woman had no idea that Yun Zhonghe had two other companions.
After reaching the Golden Core stage, practitioners can open up mental energy cultivation permissions; only strong mental energy can control magic.
However, mental energy at the Golden Core stage is far from as powerful as that of a Grandmaster at the Yuan Ying stage. Even if they can sense enemies, they can only tell someone’s there but not the exact number or situation.
Thus, when Yun Zhonghe jumped out, the black-robed woman assumed he was alone.
This worked perfectly with Yun Zhonghe’s plan.
Three Foundation Establishment players versus one Golden Core player? That’s quite tricky. Even if Mu Jixue could cheat, it’s better to avoid a direct clash.
The best move is to stall time!
Remember, tonight is a full moon—this is when the mission boss enters its vulnerable state. Once the moon reaches its peak, the boss will be exposed, and Mu Jixue can take advantage to sneak attack and slay the boss, showing off in the process.
And compared to Mu Jixue, Yun Zhonghe’s defense is more solid, plus he has almost unlimited mana, lasting longer and taking on the boss’s ab*se. He’s the best decoy.
Mu Jixue and Xiao Hu just need to conserve their strength and wait for the right opportunity.
All these tactics were communicated via spirit message to the duo.
Who knew Yun Zhonghe would consider so much in a split second, arrange everything meticulously, and leave the most dangerous part for himself? It’s enough to make someone cry.
Watching Yun Zhonghe charge towards her boldly, the black-robed woman sneered and let out a low snicker.
Then, the hall filled with countless little spiders, pouring out like a flood!
The spiders looked ready to swallow Yun Zhonghe whole.
That many spiders piled up together almost triggered his arachnophobia.
The sticky residue the spiders left behind corroded the opulent hall, creating pits everywhere.
These toxins are vicious!
“Heh heh heh! Stay here forever!”
The black-robed woman laughed maniacally, certain Yun Zhonghe was doomed.
Look at him, standing still in shock. He must be terrified silly!
Grr grr grr~
Proud and confident, the black-robed woman’s clothes suddenly burst open, revealing a dark and deep hole.
No, it wasn’t beautiful. She transformed into a half-human, half-spider form, and the dark, deep hole is where she spits silk.
Immediately after, a huge splash of murky liquid spewed forth from her body, astonishing in volume.
It was toxic liquid; should Yun Zhonghe get wet, he would perish.
But Yun Zhonghe had nowhere to retreat; a sea of dark spiders rapidly advanced upon him.
“Bad news! He’s dangerous!”
At this critical moment, Mu Jixue grew anxious for Yun Zhonghe and even wanted to rush in to save him.
But then Yun Zhonghe moved.
He swiftly drew his golden sword, dancing through the air, each technique infused with spiritual energy. Half the Infinity Sword Technique rushed out!
Yun Zhonghe had already completed up to the eighteenth form of the Infinity Sword Technique, now with mid-rank power.
Unlike the Yun family’s Bahuang Sword Technique, which is focused on combat, the Infinity Sword Technique suits defense well. When quickly released, spiritual energy seems to weave into a shield, blocking all the toxins.
Everyone, including Mu Jixue, stared wide-eyed.
This sword technique is amazing!
As he dodged the toxins, Yun Zhonghe flipped his hand, pulling out several bottles of Stone Hedge Grass essence from his bag. He concentrated, threw them upward, and condensed spiritual energy onto the golden sword, slicing through the air!
The sword qi shattered the bottles in midair!
Initially, the black-robed woman wanted to melt Yun Zhonghe with her toxins, but once he blocked them, he retaliated by throwing back even more blinding white fluid!
The scene turned into a duel of liquid throwing.
“What’s this smell… Could it be…!”
A pungent odor of Stone Hedge Grass filled the air, overwhelming and strong, instantly overpowering the stench of the hall.
White Stone Hedge Grass essence splattered everywhere, immediately driving the spiders into chaos; some stuck and flipped over, twitching and struggling.
The black-robed woman showed fear.
“You carry this around? How do you have such things?!”
Though the essence of Stone Hedge Grass isn’t lethal to her, the smell was unbearable.
Only a crazy person brings so much useless essence of Stone Hedge Grass.
The potent effect of the Stone Hedge Grass essence caused the tide of spiders to recede instantly! The situation reversed!
With the spiders driven away, Yun Zhonghe seized the opportunity, lifting his golden sword, charging towards the black-robed woman.
Yun Zhonghe: “Prodigy, watch out!”
This attack capitalized on her distraction, but she recovered quickly, shielding herself. His sword barely grazed her skin.
Indeed, there’s quite a gap between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment.
If Hu Angtian were to jump in recklessly, who knows what might happen.
“Even Foundation Establishment cultivation dares to go head-to-head with me?”
The spider woman smirked mockingly.
But she underestimated Yun Zhonghe. From the start, he didn’t think such tricks could k*ll a demonic cultivator at the Golden Core stage.
So he never intended to finish it in one strike.
At this moment, Yun Zhonghe swiftly pulled out another explosive talisman.
The talisman between his fingers swelled and ignited when imbued with spiritual energy!
One explosive talisman equates to a weak fireball spell, but its destructive power still matches a Golden Core’s output.
Yun Zhonghe flicked it onto the spider woman’s face.
“Aaaaaaah!”
It exploded like firework fireworks!
