Chapter 6: The Finale (2)
==============================
” Want to play? I’ll stick around and humor you for a bit longer!”
Li Hanbo sounded like he vanished into thin air, his voice echoing eerily around.
The Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples looked around in terror, some of them utterly paralyzed with fear.
Even Luo Ying, who was bravely facing him, found herself entangled in the enemy’s bizarre tentacles after just a few exchanges.
Dozens of disciples screamed as they tried to rescue their Master Sister, but a squad of Fallen Species blocked their path. They were soon caught in a chaotic melee, with bodies and chunks of flesh raining down from the carnage. The Fallen Species even put on a gruesome show, devouring their human prey right there.
A disciple, which had been reduced to nothing but a layer of skin, was playfully tossed onto the ground by the Fallen Species.
The sight sent shockwaves through the Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples, with some of them so shaken they stumbled back several steps to avoid dropping to their knees on the spot.
Defeated… utterly defeated…
First, Wang Qianshan was ambushed and killed by a traitor, followed closely by their Master Sister’s total defeat at the hands of the enemy leader.
Was there any hope left for the Heavenly Sword Sect?
After a month-long tug-of-war with the Self-Exploding Beasts, they thought the nightmare would eventually fade away, only to be met with an even bleaker reality.
It was clear—today, they would all d*e here.
“No… please, no!”
“Help! Someone save us!”
“Wahhh, what did we do to deserve this? Why is the heavens punishing us so badly?”
At that moment, many people’s mental barriers collapsed, with some even huddling on the ground, heads in their hands, throwing away their weapons like they had given up completely, allowing the enemy to dictate their fate.
Meanwhile, caught in the tentacles, Luo Ying was desperately trying to find a way to escape her prison.
The Dark Light Sword was incredibly sharp, but those tentacles were slick and tough, seeming to mock her efforts, like trying to cut through wet fabric—no sword could deal with that!
Inspired by his earlier victory over the Cold Moon Witch using the Lotus Throne technique, Li Hanbo unleashed the same tactic with great success, which only boosted his already soaring mood.
“Haha, don’t worry! I’ll make you suffer slowly until you perish! Then, my little brothers will turn your body into a dried-up husk. Tsk tsk, you were the Heavenly Sword Sect’s top beauty, but look at you now, destined to meet the same fate as the Cold Moon Witch!”
Li Hanbo’s right hand formed a fist, squeezing the tentacle prison tighter, leaving Luo Ying unable to move, curling into a ball to resist the force closing in from all sides.
She hadn’t anticipated Li Hanbo would be this formidable.
Those elusive tentacles of his were proving to be tougher than she imagined.
When she summoned all her strength for another sword technique, she found she couldn’t even slice through a single tentacle, before she was crushed into a ball by the overwhelming force closing in from all directions.
After all their struggles, she and Lin Nan had finally escaped the Animal World against all odds.
Despite her master’s countless warnings, she still disappointed him, perishing before she got to make any real achievements.
No, she couldn’t accept it!
How could she d*e at the hands of such a petty villain?
“AAAHHH!”
Luo Ying struggled relentlessly, and for a moment, she matched the inward-pressing tentacles in strength.
“Oh, poor Master Sister! All that resistance is utterly futile! You must not know that my tentacles are boundless, hmm? Hahahaha!”
Li Hanbo was enjoying the show, adding three more tentacles to the already tangled prison.
He could even hear the cracking sounds of her joints as she fought back in vain.
At that very moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his forehead.
What was going on?
He looked up to see, to his surprise, that snowflakes were drifting down from the sky.
What? Isn’t the climate in the Small Thousand World supposed to be independent of the Asking Dao Continent?
Why was it turning wintry here?
The Fallen Species, accustomed to the cold, didn’t bat an eye, but the Self-Exploding Beasts—bathed in flowing magma—growled nervously, dodging the snowflakes as if they were poison.
The snow grew heavier,
But then, at a certain moment, Li Hanbo suddenly caught a whiff of something ominous.
The snowflakes slowly transitioned to a dark hue.
Li Hanbo shivered and shouted, “Not good! Everyone scatter!”
But his warning came too late.
As soon as he finished speaking, the snowflakes completed their transition into Black Snow.
A chilling gust of wind swept through, sending the Black Snow swirling.
At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but the nearly ten thousand Fallen Species hanging in the air were ripped apart like paper kites in a storm.
Li Hanbo wrapped himself tightly in tentacles, yet he still heard the excruciating sound of the Black Snow scraping against the tentacles upon contact.
The Fallen Species annihilated?
Li Hanbo could hardly believe his eyes.
With the Black Snow falling came a shower of bl**d and gore, scaring the Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples into hastily seeking refuge amid the ruins.
Though they reacted quickly, some were still cut to pieces by the densely falling Black Snow.
“Rumble, rumble!”
The Self-Exploding Beasts, critically wounded, detonated in a cacophony, causing the entire Main Peak to tremble as if on the brink of collapse.
In less than a minute after the snow appeared, Li Hanbo’s once-proud army of Fallen Species vanished into thin air.
The Cold Moon Witch?
Only she seemed capable of controlling the Black Snow!
But how had her powers become so vast, nearly covering the sky of the entire Small Thousand World with Black Snow?
Hadn’t the Cold Moon Witch been sealed away in the Lotus Throne by the Boss? How could she escape his restraints?
No! This was impossible!
As Li Hanbo lost focus on maintaining pressure on the prison to avoid the Black Snow, Luo Ying finally broke free with a well-timed Dark Light Slash.
As she broke through the cage, facing a barrage of Black Snow, she hurriedly swung her sword to deflect the snowflakes coming too close, while slowly descending.
The Cold Moon Witch—this was the work of the Cold Moon Witch!
Her signature skill, “Black Snow Over the Sky,” was unforgettable after witnessing it just once.
“Li Hanbo, this is how you claimed to have dealt with the Cold Moon Witch? Hehe! Talk about boasting without a draft!”
Luo Ying mocked coldly as she distanced herself from the high altitude.
Fuming, Li Hanbo commanded all the tentacles to converge in the air like a whirlwind, instantly clearing the area around him of Black Snow.
“What’s a little more Black Snow to me?”
His confidence surged.
“Is that so?”
A chilling voice suddenly echoed from above.
Every surviving human instinctively looked up, and amidst the thickest part of the Black Snow, a black figure stood tall, her dark dress and hair dancing in the wind like an unrestrained banner, impossible to take one’s eyes off.
“It’s the Cold Moon Witch!”
“The Princess Witch! The Princess Witch is here!”
The disciples on the Main Peak shouted in unison, for she was a divine figure capable of annihilating all Fallen Species and Self-Exploding Beasts with a snap of her fingers.
Despite their past rivalry, what remained in the hearts of the disciples now was only awe and dread.
