Chapter 59

Liu Hong's magical energy consumption was indeed quite substantial, and she gradually began to fall behind.

This was not surprising. To find the man before her, she had used the "Netherworld Perception" spell multiple times throughout the afternoon, depleting much of her magical energy.

The battle was still ongoing, but it wouldn't be long before a victor emerged.

The Three Corpse Devourers were engrossed in the spectacle when suddenly a ball of fire struck the pile of rubble where they were hiding.

A loud explosion echoed.

The cover was completely obliterated.

"Ah, it's you!"

Wang Chao caught a glimpse of the disheveled Three Corpse Devourers out of the corner of his eye and immediately shouted, almost reflexively dashing out.

Seeing the woman who had been hunting them for over two months, the Three Corpse Devourers screamed in terror, their faces pale. They thought to themselves: What's going on here? Why are the people who show up one after another all so difficult to deal with?

Almost reflexively, the three of them took off running!

"Stop right there!" Wang Chao roared and gave chase.

Perhaps influenced by her shout, Liu Hong, who was in the middle of the battle, momentarily lost focus and was immediately sent flying by Mad Slave's fist.

Wang Chao could have caught up with the Three Corpse Devourers, but when she saw Liu Hong in imminent danger of losing her life, she didn't hesitate to act!

"One Sword, Nine Blades!"

The long sword was drawn, and nine blades of energy, formed by mystic martial qi, slashed toward Mad Slave, who resembled a fierce beast.

At the same time, Wang Chao flew over to pick up Liu Hong from the ground, brandishing her sword and unleashing another powerful move.

"Whirlwind Sunrise!"

In an instant, a powerful whirlwind formed in front of Wang Chao, sweeping Mad Slave, who was charging with a punch, directly into the air.

Oriental Xiu Zhe, who was perched in a tree, had a spell card ready to use but put it back into his sleeve when he saw Wang Chao join the battle.

"Oh? Sister Wang Chao has joined in too, this is getting more and more interesting!"

His young face was full of excitement; such a battle between experts was rare!

Wang Chao had no intention of prolonging the fight. Her goal was to save people, so she picked up Liu Hong and fled in the direction of the Three Corpse Devourers.

Mad Slave, who had been swept into the air, roared and shook his arms, sending two chains like black pythons toward Wang Chao.

"Oh no!"

Feeling her ankles tighten, Wang Chao swung her sword back.

Though her bladeless sword seemed dull, with the enhancement of mystic martial qi, it could cut hair.

A "ding" sound echoed, but the chain wrapped around her ankle remained unscathed.

"Enhanced by martial qi?"

Wang Chao was inwardly alarmed. Just as she was about to gather more martial qi to cut again, the chain unexpectedly loosened.

As she dove into the bushes, Wang Chao glanced back and saw a palm-sized piece of paper stuck to the chain.

"The show is over, it was really exciting, but it's time for me to leave!" Oriental Xiu Zhe, who had just used a spell card, decided to leave.

But fate did not favor him, and a powerful gust of wind suddenly attacked.

Ducking to avoid it, Oriental Xiu Zhe saw that it was a black chain.

"Boom!"

The tree was snapped in two by the force of the chain, demonstrating the power of the attack.

Oriental Xiu Zhe stuck out his tongue and thought: The guy's strength is really not to be underestimated!

Since he was already exposed, Oriental Xiu Zhe saw no need to hide anymore. He used a "Transformation Spell" and dove down.

"Hey, stop! I'm just a passerby!" Oriental Xiu Zhe laughed at Mad Slave, who had just fallen from the sky.

Mad Slave's attacks did not stop but intensified, like a raging storm, incredibly powerful!

"Boom~ Boom~"

Wherever the chain struck, everything shattered!

Oriental Xiu Zhe dodged several times, but seeing that the attacks were endless, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"You big oaf, don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm not showing my full strength!"

With a flick of his wrist, nearly fifty "Explosion Charms" flapped their little wings and flew toward Mad Slave.

"Boom~ Boom~"

The sound was deafening, and the shock waves were immense!

"No... way?"

After the smoke cleared, Mad Slave, who was at the center of the explosion, was unharmed. Even though Oriental Xiu Zhe knew his opponent was tough, he was still taken aback.

"Truly a monster!" he muttered.

He didn't notice that Mad Slave was looking at him as if he were a demon!

His small hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and in the blink of an eye, he used the "Phantom Clone" technique, creating sixteen clones, including the real one.

Without any command from Oriental Xiu Zhe, the sixteen clones moved simultaneously, attacking Mad Slave from different directions.

Mad Slave's chains hit several of the clones but could not harm the real one, making him roar in frustration.

Under the cover of the clones, Oriental Xiu Zhe quickly approached Mad Slave.

Without hesitation, his fair hands shot out like a snake's tongue.

"Yin-Yang Hand Seal!"

This was a palm technique that caused external injuries but damaged internal organs. Oriental Xiu Zhe believed that even if the opponent's body was as hard as a steel wall, it would still damage his internal organs.

Seemingly sensing the danger, Mad Slave quickly moved to avoid the seemingly not very fierce palm.

Enemy retreats, I advance!

Oriental Xiu Zhe's toes touched the ground, and he shot forward like a bullet, striking with his palm without any pause.

Unexpectedly, his palm stopped an inch away from the opponent's skin.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Oriental Xiu Zhe never expected that there was a protective layer of martial qi around the opponent.

No wonder this man was not afraid of Liu Hong's high-temperature fire magic; he had martial qi protection.

The Yin-Yang Hand Seal, once unleashed, could not be retracted. The energy penetrated the martial qi protection and struck the opponent's lower back.

A dull "thud" echoed.

The part of the man's body that was hit instantly caved in, but it quickly returned to normal.

Although Oriental Xiu Zhe had suspected it earlier, this palm strike confirmed that the man's body was indeed as hard as steel.

Indeed, a monster!

Oriental Xiu Zhe even wondered if the guy had practiced the Golden Bell Cover or Iron Shirt technique, otherwise, how could his body be so abnormal?

Just as he was surprised, a roar suddenly erupted from Mad Slave, and he drew the giant hammer from his back.

Oriental Xiu Zhe's palm strike had clearly enraged him.

The weapon he had not used in battles with Liu Hong and Wang Chao was now being used against Oriental Xiu Zhe, indicating that Mad Slave also felt the danger this time.

Oriental Xiu Zhe used the same strategy again, and the Phantom Clones attacked from different directions.

Strangely, Mad Slave stood still, seemingly ignoring the approaching Oriental Xiu Zhe and his clones.

Had he given up on resistance?

Just as Oriental Xiu Zhe and all the clones were about to reach him, Mad Slave suddenly swung his giant hammer.

"Can such a heavy hammer stop me?" Oriental Xiu Zhe thought, amused.

But—

"Boom!" The giant hammer struck the ground straight on.

Rocks shattered, and dust flew.

A powerful shock wave spread out, and Oriental Xiu Zhe, who was caught in it, felt his blood surge, his head spin, and he suffered a slight internal injury.

This enraged Oriental Xiu Zhe.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, unleashing a storm of palm strikes at Mad Slave's vulnerable points.

Just as Mad Slave was about to swing his hammer again, Oriental Xiu Zhe performed a mid-air flip and jumped onto Mad Slave's back.

"This is my chance!"

His clear eyes flashed, and in his hand, he held a spell card.

The spell card was thrown!

But it did not target Mad Slave; it targeted the giant hammer!

"Over fifty 'Gravity Charms,' let's see how strong you are!"

A sinister smile appeared on his lips, and Oriental Xiu Zhe's expression was like that of a demon.
