Chapter 112: Not Bad
Taking advantage of Huasang’s help to execute a surprise attack, while there was a brief opening in the enemy’s assault, Luxianbei flickered a few times and swiftly leaped onto the back of the Shuishu Beast.
“Whoosh…”
Accompanied by a faint sound of wind, Huasang followed closely and landed on the back of the Shuishu Beast.
Just as the two got settled, a figure enveloped in crimson light, holding two rust-covered massive iron hooks emitting a foul smell, quickly approached, blocking the way in front of the Shuishu Beast.
The Shuishu Beast glanced sideways at that figure.
Where did such trash come from? This level dares to block the way?
With a long whistle, the Shuishu Beast raised its front hooves, and dazzling lightning burst forth from its hooves.
Stampede!
Thus, accompanied by a thunderous roar, that extraordinary figure, carrying Luxianbei and Huasang, began to gallop down the highway.
Behind them, a crumpled figure with a collapsed skull lay on the ground, crying out in pain.
…
At this moment, Luxianbei and Huasang engaged in a brief exchange.
Huasang tightly gripped Luxianbei’s shoulders with both hands, leaning over her shoulder. She glanced at Luxianbei’s profile and said lightly, “You just lied to me…”
Hiss! Is it inappropriate to throw out such a life-threatening question at a time like this? Luxianbei opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.
“But it’s okay; I’ve already figured it out on the way here. I can understand.”
Although she understood that Luxianbei had moved her away to make the act more convincing and to lure Hu Chuan, the big serpent, it was still a lie, and they needed to clarify it first.
Luxianbei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at the figure that was relentlessly pursuing them, now almost unable to see Big Cousin’s curvy and perky beastly rear, and then looked at Huasang.
“Just now, I received a message from that old man Zhang Hainan, saying that someone is trying to awaken the Pink Fluffy Rabbit. If we don’t stop that person, I’m afraid there will be big problems.”
“Do you see that strange meatball over there? That weird thing is transformed by Hu Chuan. I suspect he is involved in trying to awaken the Pink Fluffy Rabbit.”
Upon hearing this, Huasang followed Luxianbei’s指引, glanced at the pale meatball shrouded in chaotic colors.
Just one look, and she immediately felt a sense of dizziness, not daring to gaze too long, quickly retracting her sight.
“The situation is a bit tricky now… Are you sure you can take on those guys’ attacks head-on?”
Huasang briefly froze upon hearing this, then understood that Luxianbei wanted to use her superlative defensive methods to withstand the attacks and then counterattack.
She recalled the intensity of the opponent’s attack when she clashed with that figure wielding the pitch-black sickle, and nodded slightly, saying, “If it’s the same intensity as before, no problem, but…”
Such intensity of attack may be fine to withstand a couple of times, but to endure the relentless assaults of a dozen enemies, she was worried that the Spirit Patterns would go out of control.
“Don’t worry, you handle the defense, and the rest… leave it to me!” Luxianbei said, “We don’t need to k*ll all the enemies; we just need to break through and deal with Hu Chuan!”
That confident and assertive tone made a flash of hesitation appear in Huasang’s eyes for a moment, but soon her gaze became resolute.
“…”
That’s right, with Luxianbei here, even if the Spirit Patterns go out of control, she can absorb the Night侵蚀 and won’t be harmed.
Huasang thought, glancing at Luxianbei’s profile, “Alright, leave it to me.”
She had also received the information passed on by Zhang Hainan, knowing that the F Urban Legend had been summoned by an unknown source and was awakening. She understood the severity of the situation.
Even if Hu Chuan might just be the source calling out to the F Urban Legend.
“Then…” Luxianbei turned to Huasang, slightly raising an eyebrow, “Happy cooperation!”
Hope it will be a pleasant one… Luxianbei added silently in her heart.
So, she took a deep breath, lightly patted the Shuishu Beast’s neck, and called out, “Big Cousin, let’s go!”
With a sound that vaguely mingled with thunder, the Shuishu Beast’s form traced a deep blue trajectory in a reverse V-shape along the wide highway, changing direction.
Although Big Cousin couldn’t speak human words, it was quite clever, even smarter than many humans.
It completely understood the content of Luxianbei and Huasang’s conversation and knew its task was singular.
Forward, constantly forward!
…
The hundred-meter distance vanished in an instant.
Luxianbei and Huasang quickly arrived before the first enemy.
It was a man covered in heavy armor, resembling a scorpion, with terrifying massive pincers and a razor-sharp tail.
Venom dripped slowly from the end of his hooked tail, corroding the asphalt, creating pits of various sizes, and releasing a pungent, nauseating odor.
Seeing Luxianbei and the others arrive, the man raised his massive pincers like a scorpion threatening its prey.
Luxianbei furrowed her brow slightly and tightened her grip on the Ling Tai Purification in her hand.
“Poof—Poof—!”
With a soft sound, dark green venom sprayed from the end of the hooked tail, shooting toward Luxianbei like darting water arrows.
In an instant, a suffocating stench rushed toward her.
At this moment, a greenish glow emanated from Huasang’s body, stretching and spreading out to form a dark, murky light mist that enveloped and swept through the area, like ink spilled out, raising a vibrant curtain of darkness before the two.
“Roar—!”
The Shuishu Beast roared and surged forward!
The venom clashed with the inky water mist in mid-air, producing sizzling sounds as if clear water had fallen into hot oil.
In the moment the venom was intercepted, Luxianbei leaped off the back of the Shuishu Beast, launching the broken sword from her hand.
Seeing Luxianbei’s figure sh**t out from behind the dark water curtain like a gust of wind, the scorpion-like man was startled, his eyes beneath the armor trembling as he swung the massive pincers fiercely.
Like a scorpion grasping its prey, they lunged at Luxianbei.
【The giant pincers have grabbed your waist】
The predictive thought flashed through Luxianbei’s mind in an instant, but she continued forward without a hint of hesitation.
No need to hesitate.
She could still withstand several of this level of attacks, but…
She wanted to see if she could truly entrust her safety completely to Huasang.
After intercepting the venom, the inky water curtain changed its shape in a breath, sketching out diamond shapes in the air that suddenly solidified.
“Bang—!”
A muffled sound erupted, like a heavy hammer striking the shield.
The giant pincers were held back outside the armor.
Luxianbei showed no hesitation and brought down the broken sword, tearing through the man’s defenses and striking down onto his shoulder.
Then, with a slight twist of her wrist, the sword’s blade sliced through the man’s high-collared neck guard, severing his neck, leaving only less than a finger width of flesh.
Thus, a scorpion-shaped iron figure, missing a large chunk of its head, fell to the ground with a clatter.
Countless Pink Fluffy Rabbits screeched and ran wildly across the ground.
【An iron hook pierced through your shoulder from the right side】
【A poisoned arrow frostbitten your eardrum from the left side】
The moment the scorpion-shaped iron figure fell, as the Shuishu Beast took a small step forward, Luxianbei didn’t even have time to completely retract the Ling Tai Purification before two predictive thoughts flashed through her mind.
Luxianbei kept her gaze fixed on the giant Pink Fluffy Rabbit that had transformed from Hu Chuan ahead, quickly returned the sword, and raised both hands to the sides.
Left hand, Scarlet Fire; right hand, Winter Wind and White Snow.
Red and white light illuminated, forming pillars of light several meters wide, swirling like dragons and rushing past.
With screams, two figures were immediately sent flying to either side.
Without going through predictions, casting two spell formulas with amplification ratios over thirty times, Luxianbei felt a wave of fatigue from the severe depletion of spirit energy for a brief moment.
But immediately after, she felt something surge into her body from behind, bringing a wave of tingling sensation, circulating through her body, transforming into spirit energy.
The fatigue vanished in an instant.
That feeling was like being injected with a dose of adrenaline.
Was it Huasang? Just like last night?
Luxianbei slightly furrowed her brow, not having time to think about the cause of this abnormal phenomenon, another predictive thought flashed through her mind.
【A barrage is coming from straight ahead】
A figure wrapped in pitch-black metal, its arms formed into a massive cannon, stood ahead as if it were a humanoid cannon, aiming its barrel at the galloping Shuishu Beast.
Cold air surrounded the massive cannon, cracking with lightning, bright white points of light flew from the void and rapidly gathered in the black barrel.
“Whoosh—!”
A piercing sound of breaking air exploded as the broken sword whizzed through, embedding itself in the forehead of that figure, causing the fierce light at the cannon’s mouth to disperse suddenly.
In the next moment, Luxianbei swiftly brought the Ling Tai Purification and landed on that figure’s shoulders, gripping the sword hilt tightly and pushing down with all her strength.
“Poof—!”
Amid a series of muffled sounds from countless Pink Fluffy Rabbits splattering, the Ling Tai Purification came crashing down, tearing through the majority of that figure’s body along with the massive cannon in its hand.
Then…
In the instant when countless bubbles of energy dropped and triggered explosions, Luxianbei used the shockwave from the explosion to leap toward the already galloping Shuishu Beast waiting ahead.
At that moment.
【A shield axe flew in from the left back】
【A giant sickle slashed down from above】
【A javelin came flying from the right front】
…
Five or six predictive thoughts flashed through Luxianbei’s mind almost simultaneously, and in the next moment, a blue light burst forth from Huasang, accompanied by a low, almost illusory roar, transforming into a massive turtle illusion over ten meters high.
The fierce light shooting from all directions had not yet reached Luxianbei’s front; as soon as it touched the giant turtle illusion, it was deflected in a series of deafening booms.
Scattering off, it struck the mountain wall, causing earth and stone to erupt, breaking the surface of the highway with a loud rumble and sending up thick smoke.
As the giant turtle illusion dissipated, Luxianbei landed squarely on the back of the Shuishu Beast.
Thus, the iron hooves trampled, and the Shuishu Beast continued its forward charge.
…
This was the first time since that car accident that Luxianbei fully entrusted her life to someone else.
It was also the first time since stepping into Dachunyang Palace that Huasang no longer needed to worry about the consequences of the Spirit Patterns going out of control, fully unleashing the Spirit Patterns.
The result seemed to be not bad.
